Vehicle Lateral Stability Control Based on Sliding Model Control

In view of the vehicle cornering or path changing under ultimate handling maneuver, a 3-DOF nonlinear vehicle dynamics model which takes the vehicle lateral velocity, yaw rate and body roll angle as the State variables is presented. Based on the dynamic analysis, the method which using additional yaw moment produced by different longitudinal braking force among each wheels to improving vehicle handling stability in emergency situations is discussed. Considering the sideslip angle as one of the vehicle state variables is difficult to measuring, the sideslip angle estimation based on vehicle dynamic model and kinematics is designed. And then, based on the theory of siding model control, the combining sliding model control system is founded, which taking the vehicle yaw rate and body side-slip angle errors between the estimated and the real as the input variables, and taking the braking torque and the steering angle as control aims. The simulation results indicate that the control method can effectively improve the vehicle lateral handling stability.     

Comparison between Calibration Procedure and Econometric Estimation

The two methods of estimating parameter in computable general equilibrium(CGE) model are introduced and compared:the calibration procedure and econometric estimation. The conclusions are:the estimation of parameter in CGE model must use the calibration procedure coupled with the econometric estimation method;the elasticity of output with respect to labor input,the marginal expenditure share for households and price elasticity of export demand are estimated by econometric estimation method;and other parameters of the CGE model can be get by calibration procedure.

基于BP神经网络数据挖掘方法的政府投资项目投资估算方法

政府项目投资失控问题业已引起社会广泛关注,而造价估算不准是其中主要原因之一。许多不确定因素影响着项目造价,并且这些影响因素与造价之间呈高度非线性关系,传统统计方法难以对新建项目造价进行准确估算。本文利用BP神经网络在已完工程资料中“提取”“规则”,实现了对项目造价的准确估算。本文对BP网络基本理论作了简介,并用举例说明BP网络预测工程造价的准确性。从例子可以看到,预测值与实际值的相对误差很小,足以满足造价估算的要求。

应用模糊聚类评价布氏田鼠为害等级

由于各地环境条件和布氏田鼠密度与种群分布格局的差异,其为害程度很难用统一的数量化指标加以评价,造成了准确测报该鼠为害水平的困难。本文试采用模糊聚类的方法,结合该鼠数量、分布格局以及多项环境因子的定性、定量指标加以综合分析,依其聚类结果可进行该鼠为害等级的全面评价,根据作者收集的20组数据的微机处理,表明这种方法可进行大区域不同环境条件下的为害等级评价,具有良好的应用前景。     

Comparison of methods to assess dog owners' therapeutic compliance

Objective To compare different methods for assessing the compliance of veterinary clients administering medication to their dogs.
Procedure Thirty-one owners whose dogs were prescribed amoxycillin-clavulanate, twice and thrice daily, for a duration of five to seven days were recruited from three Sydney veterinary hospitals. Compliance was assessed by electronic monitoring devices, return medication counts, client self-reports and veterinarians' estimation of likely compliance.
Results Electronic monitoring showed owners administered on average 84% (range 7 to 104%) of prescribed medication to their dogs. Both return medication counts and client self-reports tended to overestimate therapeutic compliance when compared with electronic monitoring. When questioned, the majority of owners (71%) claimed perfect compliance with the prescribed regimen. No correlation was found between veterinarians' estimates of owner compliance and that assessed electronically.
Conclusion Electronic monitoring provided valuable information on dose timing and variation, but proved costly and difficult to employ in veterinary practice. Simplicity and low cost of return medication counts makes this method attractive for use in veterinary compliance studies. Client self-reports reliably detected some noncompliers and permitted identification of individual problems or errors. For practical purposes a combination of return medication counts and client self-reports may have merit in future veterinary compliance studies.
