大豆大杂粉碎及重杂灭活工艺改造

随着国家对环保的重视,改变进口大豆大杂(豆荚、豆杆)焚烧处理的传统做法尤为重要,采用风选、粉碎等手段,区分处理轻重杂,杂质分别采用生产线高温高压和蒸汽湿热灭活法进行处理后,可充当纤维类物质掺入到成品豆粕中。根治环境污染的同时降低厂内安全风险,充分利用进口大豆秸秆类纤维物质,减少大豆损耗,以较小的投入实现经济效益和环境保护。

Effects of consumer cohorts and age on meat expenditures in the United States

Meat demand is likely influenced by the birth cohort and age of the individual. In this study, we examine the demand for beef, pork, poultry, and other meat in the United States using the 1984–2012 Consumer Expenditure Survey and the almost ideal demand system with the incorporation of age, period, and cohort (APC) effects. We find that the model with APC effects performs better than the models without APC effects. The results indicate that cohorts born in earlier time periods are expected to purchase significantly less poultry compared to cohorts born in later time periods, when they are measured at the same age. Over the life cycle, purchase of poultry is expected to increase with age while the opposite is true for red meat. We also find that the own-price elasticity for beef is highest among the products examined, while the own-price elasticity for other meat is lowest and the inclusion of APC effects increases the absolute value of the own-price elasticities for beef, pork, and poultry, but reduces the own-price elasticity for other meat. Our forecasts indicate that the aggregate poultry purchase will continue to increase until 2022, while the aggregate purchase of red meat will slightly increase until 2017, but will either decrease or stay at same level from year 2017 to 2022.     

“一带一路”建设中贸易潜力及影响因素研究

"一带一路"作为实现中华民族伟大复兴强国梦的重要举措包括两大部分:丝绸之路经济带和21世纪海上丝绸之路经济带。从经济发展角度研究"一带一路"建设在中国以及所涉及国家的发展现状及其贸易潜力。主要研究国内生产总值、人口数以及两国距离这些自然因素对贸易潜力的影响。结果发现,国内生产总值和人口数对贸易潜力有正向促进作用,两国距离与贸易潜力反向变动。     

一种基于微波雷达回波信号的车型分类方法

车辆类型识别方法是智能交通系统的关键技术之一。利用深度学习的高维特征泛化学习能力，将改进的LeNet-5卷积神经网络用于基于交通微波雷达的大小车型分类识别。首先，以雷达触发前的N帧信号为基础，对雷达的回波信号进行分析并构建数据集；然后，分析LeNet-5卷积神经网络的特点；最后提出一种改进的LeNet-5卷积神经网络。实验结果表明，与传统的支持向量机方法相比，所提方法能够智能学习大小车的雷达时频信号特征，大小车型识别准确率达到97%以上，可为交通场景下的车型识别研究提供新的技术途径。     

The effects of slack resource of R&D professionals on firm performance: evidence from traditional manufacturing firms in an emerging economy

Abstract

As an important component of organizational human resource slack (HR slack), the slack of research-and-development (R&D) professionals has been studied by several authors. However, it remains unclear whether and how this small component of general HR slack, i.e. the slack of research-and-development professionals (RHR slack), may affect overall firm performance in an emerging economy without much R&D tradition or pro-R&D institutions. Based on two organizational theories, i.e. institutional theory and the resource-based view of the firm (RBV), we propose competing hypotheses on the relationship between RHR slack and firms’ accounting performance. We also examine whether the relationship between RHR slack and firm performance should be linear or curvilinear. Finally, we also test the relationship between RHR slack and other dimensions of firm performance. Several interesting findings have been obtained. For instance, neither the perspective based on institutional theory nor that based on RBV can fully predict all types of RHR slack-performance relationships, be these relationships linear or curvilinear.     

空间分析在住宅价值评估中应用研究综述

住宅是一种异质性商品，它的构成使用价值的各个特征之间有明显的差异，因此特征价格定价模型广泛用于住宅的价值评估。但是由于住宅数据中常常表现出空间问题，使得传统的特征价格模型不再适用，空间效应在不动产领域的存在引起了学者们的广泛关注。对空间分析在住宅价值评估中的应用研究进行了回顾和阐述，首先分析空间效应的来源和影响，讨论了在传统模型中纳入空间效应的重要性，接着阐述如何对这些空间效应进行有效建模和检验，并分析了进一步研究的方向。
