Reliability-based life-cycle cost seismic design optimization of coastal bridge piers with nonuniform corrosion using different materials

Reinforcement corrosion is the main cause of performance deterioration of reinforced concrete(RC)structures.Limited research has been performed to investigate the life-cycle cost(LCC)of coastal bridge piers with nonuniform corrosion using different materials.In this study,a reliability-based design optimization(RBDO)procedure is improved for the design of coastal bridge piers using six groups of commonly used materials,i.e.,normal performance concrete(NPC)with black steel(BS)rebar,high strength steel(HSS)rebar,epoxy coated(EC)rebar,and stainless steel(SS)rebar(named NPC-BS,NPC-HSS,NPC-EC,and NPC-SS,respectively),NPC with BS with silane soakage on the pier surface(named NPC-Silane),and high-performance concrete(HPC)with BS rebar(named HPC-BS).First,the RBDO procedure is improved for the design optimization of coastal bridge piers,and a bridge is selected to illustrate the procedure.Then,reliability analysis of the pier designed with each group of materials is carried out to obtain the time-dependent reliability in terms of the ultimate and serviceability performances.Next,the repair time of the pier is predicted based on the time-dependent reliability indices.Finally,the time-dependent LCCs for the pier are obtained for the selection of the optimal design.

Low cost development strategy for oilfields in China under low oil prices

By reviewing the challenges in the development of oilfields in China under low oil prices,this study analyzes the root causes of cost rising,put forwards the low cost oilfield development strategy and specific paths to realize the strategy,and predicts the development potential and prospect of oilfields in China.In addition to the low grade of the reservoir and high development maturation,the fundamental reasons of development full cost rising of oilfields in China are as follows:(1)Facing the problem of resources turning poorer in quality,we have built production capacity at a pace too fast before making enough technical and experimental preparation;(2)technical engineering service model leads to high service cost;(3)team of oil development expertise and matched engineering system cannot satisfy the technical requirements of stabilizing oil production,controlling water cut and fine development.To realize development at low cost,the core is to increase economic recoverable reserves.The concrete paths include:(1)to explore the"Daqing oilfield development culture",improve the ability of leaders in charge of development,and inspire potential of staff;(2)to improve the ability of reservoir dynamics control,and implement precise development by following scientific principles;(3)to speed up integration of water flooding and enhanced oil recovery(EOR)and technological upgrading in order to enhance oil recovery;(4)to innovate key techniques in gas flooding and accelerate the industrial popularization of gas flooding;(5)to break the related transaction barriers and create new management models;and(6)to collaboratively optimize strategic layout and cultivate key oil bases.Although oilfield development in China faces huge challenges in cost,the low-cost development strategy will succeed as long as strategic development of mature and new oil fields is well planned.The cores to lower cost are to control decline rate and enhance oil recovery in mature oil fields,and increase single well productivity through technical innovation and improve engineering service efficiency through management innovation in new oil fields.

The Impact of Enterprise Resource Planning （ERP） System on the Cost and Price of Auditing Auditor＇s Perspective

Technology plays a key role in today＇s business environment. Many companies greatly rely on computers and software to provide accurate information to effectively manage their business processes. It is becoming increasingly necessary for all businesses to incorporate information technology solutions to operate successfully. One way for many corporations to adopt information technology （IT） on a large scale is by installing enterprise resource planning （ERP） systems to accomplish their business transactions and data-processing needs. ERP systems are software packages that enable the integration of business processes throughout an organization. This study aims to determine the effect of the ERP system on the cost of auditing period compared with traditional computerized （non-ERP） systems. According to cost analysis, the study also points out the changes in audit price. The methodology used in this research is survey-based data collection. The questionnaires are sent to auditors who are working with companies with ERP systems. The answers are processed and analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences （SPSS） 20. The data are performed using the statistical test to determine the effect of ERP usage on the cost of auditing process and pricing policy of auditors. The findings of this study are： （1） Companies with ERP systems are reducing their auditing costs; and （2） Auditing companies are not implying a low rate of price to their customers using ERP.

信任水平、感知成本与农户林地流转契约选择

基于福建省319户农户调查数据,采用Tobit、IV-2SLS等计量模型,实证分析信任水平和感知成本对林地流转契约选择的影响,并进一步探究不同流转主体差异、代际差异和感知风险差异在林地流转契约选择方面的异质性。结果表明:1)农户的信任水平和感知成本越高,林地流转时越倾向于选择更长的流转期限和更大的流转面积,转出主体的流转价格越高;信任水平和感知成本的交互项发挥调节作用。2)林地流转契约选择存在代际差异和感知风险差异,在流转期限和流转规模方面,信任水平、感知成本对新生代及感知低风险农户的有效影响更显著;在流转价格方面,信任水平、感知成本对老一代和感知高风险转出农户的影响更显著。据此,建议完善市场机制,激活社会资本,并保持林业政策的稳定性和持久性。

考虑资源稀缺性的路面养护措施综合效益全寿命周期费用评估

为提高道路工程中不可再生资源利用的合理性,建立养护措施综合效益的全寿命周期费用评价方法,推动交通运输基础设施的可持续发展,基于全寿命周期费用评价(life-cycle cost assessment,LCCA)理论,引入了资源稀缺性的评价指标,并基于存量稀缺、进口稀缺和技术稀缺3个评价维度,建立了适用于路用材料的项目级资源稀缺性评价体系,同时,将该指标量化为货币当量计入成本清单中。依托江苏省路面养护管理系统数据,将资源稀缺性、经济效益、性能发展3个维度统一,定量分析了再生类、铣刨重铺类和罩面类共3类、12个常见养护措施的综合效益。研究结果表明:考虑资源稀缺性,再生类养护措施旧料利用率较高,具有极佳的资源合理性;EC A-10薄层罩面处治厚度薄、耗材量小,与普通罩面相比能节省50%左右的资源;铣刨料直接废弃、石料来源选择不当将导致额外支出10%~20%的当量成本。考虑综合效益,各养护方案与施工特性(如施工工期、施工水平、工艺先进性等)相关的成本效益接近60%,其中用户间接的经济损失占比超过30%,直接由施工工期决定。因此,建议谨慎选择材料来源及去向以减少不可再生资源浪费,优化养护施工流程以降低用户的间接经济损失,提高施工水平以降低用户的直接油耗开支,开展科学养护决策以降低政府投入成本。

论教育数字化发展代价的对立统一性

事物的积极发展与所付代价具有必然联系。运用正确观点充分认识发展的代价,才能合理应对代价,从而让代价处于可接受范围之内,并促使代价作用最大限度地向积极方面转化。通过消除人为性代价、降低必然性代价能够有效减少事物发展造成的损失和牺牲,为事物发展寻觅低代价而高质量的发展路径。教育数字化的积极发展和所付代价之间呈现出不可分离的对立统一关系,体现为两者之间既相互对立,又互相联系、相互转化的关系,充分把握这种关系就是坚持唯物辩证法的观点全面认识教育数字化发展,确立辩证唯物主义代价观。因此,需要从代价的视角分析教育数字化的内涵与表现,通过解析教育数字化发展所付代价及其根源,力求为我国教育数字化探索更具合理性和现实性的前进方略,即涵养教育数字化代价意识、掌握教育数字化代价转化的方法论、做出以人为本的教育数字化代价选择,进而使得教育数字化少走弯路。

基于数字孪生的智能制造企业产品定价决策

为实现智能制造企业服务化转型下客户对产品需求实现和交付时间的更高要求,考虑数字孪生的技术成本、需求实现能力和交付时间等因素,分别建立生产型智能制造企业和基于数字孪生的服务型智能制造企业的竞争性定价决策模型,对模型均衡解及仿真结果进行对比分析。研究发现:当虚实一致程度带来的效用增益高于数字孪生技术成本时,服务型智造企业才有动力投入数字孪生,但长远看技术成本的增长会被更高的服务效用所抵消;在虚实一致程度边界内外客户对需求实现能力的敏感系数变化对两类智造企业产品定价、需求和利润会产生不同影响;随着客户对产品交付时间的敏感程度增加,数字孪生缩短产品交付时间能够改善服务型智造企业因时间而导致的定价劣势。

基于动态电价机制的配网运营商与用户储能商双层协调多目标优化策略

为在电力市场和调度运用中发挥用户侧分布式储能的价值,充分利用电价的优化调节能力,提出考虑负荷需求响应的多目标双层动态电价模型。其中,上层以区域配网代理运营商运营成本和平均负荷波动率最小为目标,下层考虑储能商负荷需求响应,以各储能商运营成本最小为目标。此外,采用改进优劣解距离法对模型求得的Pareto最优解集进行多属性决策,以避免传统优劣解距离法中人为赋权的主观性。最后,决策出最优的内部电价、充放电计划和负荷安排。算例表明,该策略可以降低储能商的运行成本,提高区域配网运营商的收益与区域供电可靠性,同时有利于平滑负荷曲线。

四川省发展气电是实现“双碳”目标,提升电力调峰调频、确保安全稳定供电的重大举措。2022年四川省出台气电上网两部制电价政策指导意见,明确气电容量电价按一定合理收益回收固定投资成本,电量电价与气价实施联动调整。通过梳理国家及部分省份的气电两部制电价政策,调查分析四川气电的成本构成,研究对气电投资成本回收机制并测算容量电价,提出了容量电价测算原则、方法以及疏导路径的相关建议。研究结果表明:①因地制宜出台气电价格政策有利于推动气电产业健康可持续发展;②实施气电两部制电价有利于通过容量电价回收固定成本且取得合理收益,有利于促进四川气电产业有序健康可持续发展,并通过相对较低的电量电价实现与电力市场逐步接轨,增强市场竞争力;③容量电价按照“谁受益、谁承担”和“合理分摊、动态调整”原则进行疏导;④气电容量电价标准按资本金内部收益率8%对应取值,F机组容量电价标准可为28元/(kW·月),并且容量电费由该省内大工业、一般工商业用户疏导分摊。

生态环境成本内在化对出口产品价格的影响研究

生态环境成本内在化影响出口产品边际成本大小,从而影响外贸企业市场定价。在理论分析生态环境外部性、生态环境成本内在化局部均衡性的基础上,以绍兴博利豪家纺有限公司为研究对象,引入产品出口量、市场占有率、销售收入因子,从外贸企业微观层面研究产品异质性对出口产品价格生态环境成本内在化传递的影响。结果显示出口量高、市场占有率高、销售收入高的出口产品,其价格对生态环境成本内在化的弹性大,生态环境成本传递不完全,而市场占有率低、销售收入低的出口产品,其出口量有可能被调整。

基于全价值和全成本模型的农业水价方案及其可行性分析

针对现行农业水价标准过低的问题,选取粮食主产区——黑龙江省为研究区域,从农业用水全价值和全成本出发,利用能值理论分析确定农业用水价值,采用全成本水价法确定用水成本,结合现行水价制定不同情境下农业水资源定价方案;运用双对数模型建立农业用水需求价格函数,揭示水价提升带来的研究区域节水潜力,结合指数分析法确定农户可承受能力,从而判断所制定水价方案的可行性。结果表明:2020年,农业水资源全价值为0.594元/m^(3),地表水与地下水全成本分别为0.180元/m^(3)和0.355元/m^(3);针对设计的3种阶梯水价调整方案,利用2005、2010、2015、2020年进行实证分析,过渡期和长期水价方案平均年节水量分别可达2.72×10^(9)、4.45×10^(9)m^(3),平均年节水潜力分别为12.74%、19.48%,且一阶水价均在农户可承受能力范围,确定为可行方案。本文为研究区农业水价综合改革提供了支持,可结合实际情况逐步提高农业水价到合理水平。

天津电力行业CO_(2)影子价格影响因素

根据线性规划对偶理论建立了电力行业发电成本最小化模型,并以天津市为例,对其2014~2020年的电力行业二氧化碳影子价格进行了测算与分析,并对其影响因素进行了相关研究。研究表明:天津电力行业光伏发电成本的降低将带动其CO_(2)影子价格的降低:光伏发电成本每降低0.1元/kWh,CO_(2)影子价格平均降低13.66元/t,且平均发电成本也有所降低。在碳排放约束不断收紧的条件下,天津市电力行业CO_(2)影子价格未表现出明显变化,但其发电结构不断优化,说明天津可以通过调整发电结构来满足碳配额要求并使得边际减排成本保持不变。高碳排放强度的火力发电方式可以通过实施CCS技术来降低电力行业CO_(2)影子价格,但平均发电成本会有所上升。
