Estimation under a Finite Mixture of Exponentiated Exponential Components Model and Balanced Square Error Loss

By exponentiating each of the components of a finite mixture of two exponential components model by a positive parameter, several shapes of hazard rate functions are obtained. Maximum likelihood and Bayes methods, based on square error loss function and objective prior, are used to obtain estimators based on balanced square error loss function for the parameters, survival and hazard rate functions of a mixture of two exponentiated exponential components model. Approximate interval estimators of the parameters of the model are obtained.

Key sources of SOE profitability and their implications for social welfare

An analysis of the sources of profit growth for China's state-owned industry since 1999 indicates that the key source of profit growth is not the high productivity of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) but rather their monopoly position and pricing power in some basic industries. From an overall social perspective, such high profitability means an inefficient allocation of industrial resources and a potential loss of social welfare. Therefore, further expanding and deepening the reform of SOE property rights, encouraging the development of non-SOEs and boosting the competitiveness of basic industries will significantly improve the resource allocation efficiency of the Chinese industry and enhance overall social welfare.

A STUDY ON ECONOMY EVALUATION ON THE PROFIT AND LOSS OF GEOLOGIC ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ABOUT GEOLOGIC ENVIRONMENTAL EXPLOITATION PROJECT

The problems of environmental geology refer to the geologic phenomena, incidents or accidents arising from action of environmental geology. The action is mainly the mutual influence between human activity and geologic environment. When human activity is uncoordinated with objective laws of the geologic environment, the problems of environmental geology or economic loss would occur.Therefore,the level and the changing orientation of geologic environmental quality are relative to the types of human activity,particularly relative to human intentional-activities of geologic environmental exploitation project. The geologic environment fitting to mining may not fit to urban construction,and fitting to water conservancy and hydroelectric projects may not fit to communication,and so on.Economy evaluation on the profit and loss of geologic environmental quality is exactly to depict the level of the profit and loss of geologic environmental quality about geologic environmental exploitation projects and the

Mechanical Harvesting Effects on Seed Yield Loss,Quality Traits and Profitability of Winter Oilseed Rape (Brassica napus L.)

China is one of the most important rapeseed producing countries in the world. Effective mechanical harvesting time for decreasing harvesting loss of winter oilseed rape has been becoming a critical factor. An elite cultivar Zhongshuang 11 （Brassica napus L.） was employed in two rounds of field experiments from 2009 to 2011. Seeds were sown with machine, three combine harvesting times namely combine harvesting A, B, and C （CHA, CHB, and CHC） were designed and manual harvesting （MH） as control was performed at maturity. The harvesting treatments were determined according to color of pod and seed in the field. Seed yield loss and quality in different treatments were evaluated. Results showed that both seed yields and harvesting losses in 2009-2010 were higher than that in 2010-2011, whereas seed oil contents in 2010-2011 were higher than that in 2009-2010. The highest yield appeared in CHB, which was significantly higher than that in MH. Furthermore, harvesting loss in CHB were 50% that in MH. Seed oil content and chlorophyll exhibited no obvious difference between CHB and MH. Economic profit analysis demonstrated that mechanical sowing/combine harvesting （MS/CH） showed an input/output ratio of 1：1.6, and it was 1：1.2 in mechanical sowing/manual harvesting （MS/MH）. Labor-cost accounted for more than 70% of the total cost in MS/MH, which led to low profitability to a great extent. Our results suggested that CHB was the optimum harvesting time for winter oilseed rape along the Yangtze River.

Effects of three types of soil amendments on yield and soil nitrogen balance of maize–wheat rotation system in the Hetao Irrigation Area, China

Excessive fertilization combined with unreasonable irrigation in farmland of the Hetao Irrigation Area(HIR), China, has resulted in a large amount of nitrogen(N) losses and agricultural non-point source pollution.Application of soil amendments has become one of the important strategies for reducing N losses of farmland.However, there is still no systematic study on the effects of various soil amendments on N losses in the HIR.In this study, three types of soil amendments(biochar, bentonite and polyacrylamide) were applied in a maize–wheat rotation system in the HIR during 2015–2017.Yields of maize and wheat, soil NH3 volatilization, N2O emission and NO3– leaching were determined and soil N balance was estimated.The results showed that applications of biochar, bentonite and polyacrylamide significantly increased yields of maize by 9.2%, 14.3% and 13.3%, respectively, and wheat by 9.2%, 16.6% and 12.3%, respectively, compared with the control(fertilization alone).Applications of biochar, bentonite and polyacrylamide significantly reduced soil N leaching by 23.1%, 35.5% and 27.1%, soil NH3-N volatilization by 34.8%, 52.7% and 37.8%, and soil N surplus by 23.9%, 37.4% and 30.6%, respectively.Applications of bentonite and polyacrylamide significantly reduced N2O-N emissions from soil by 37.3% and 35.8%, respectively, compared with the control.Compared with application of biochar, applications of bentonite and polyacrylamide increased yields of maize and wheat by 5.1% and 3.5%, respectively.Our results suggest that soil amendments(bentonite and polyacrylamide) can play important roles in reducing N losses and increasing yield for the maize–wheat rotation system in the HIR, China.

Influence of the position relationship between gas–liquid interface and laser focus on plasma evolution characteristics in jet LIBS technology

In order to understand the characteristics of breakdown process,plasma evolution and spectral emission in liquid jets laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy methods under the influence of the position variation between laser focus and gas–liquid interface,this work takes the plasma generated by laser-induced liquid jets as the object of study and discusses the changes in the spatial and temporal evolution characteristics and spectral radiation of the plasma when the position parameters between the laser focal point and the gas–liquid interface are different.The initial breakdown position is always between the front interface and the focus when the laser focus moves along the vertical direction of the interface,forming a phenomenon like’interface effect’.The relationship between laser pulse energy and breakdown probability exhibits a law similar to a‘hysteresis curve’in the study of breakdown threshold.In this work,plasma with smaller size,rounder shape,stronger radiation,higher temperature,and higher density can be produced when the focus position is in the liquid column 0.2 mm away from the front interface.Simultaneously,the spectral signal intensity and signal-to-back ratio of the characteristic peaks of target elements in water reach maximum values,and the spectral signal becomes more stable(relative standard deviation value reaches 2%).The Ca element’s ion radiation at 393.366 nm and atomic radiation at 422.673 nm are studied using narrow-band filtering imaging and time-space resolution spectroscopy.The findings demonstrate that the laws of ion and atomic radiation are not perfectly consistent in space and time.

Study on regulation of potassium loss and its balance characteristics from typical paddy soils in Dongting Lake area

Potassium loss due to runoff and leaching, crop uptake, and K-fertilizer input, irrigation and wet deposition was studied, subsequently potassium balance characteristics was analyzed using lysimeter modeled two typical paddy soils from double rice field in Dongting Lake area. K losses due to runoff and leaching in Alluvial Sandy Loamy Paddy Soil （ASL） with lower cation exchange content （CEC） and clayey granule content were increased significantly compared with those in Reddish Yellow Loamy Paddy Soil （RYL） with higher CEC and clayey granule content. Compared with RYL, lower economic and biological yield due to lower capacity of nutrient and water keeping in ASL resulted in lower K uptake. So potassium deficit in double rice field of RYL was more serious than that of ASL because main K proportion was accounted by crop uptake. Available K in soil of surface layer （0-15 cm） was decreased significantly due to long term nutrient management of K deficit in double rice field. The straw return paddy field was suggested as an effective way to increase soil K and balance K deficit in double rice field because large amount of potassium was enriched in rice straw at harvest.

基于Class Balanced Loss修正交叉熵的非均衡样本信用风险评价模型

针对传统信用风险预测模型存在对非违约样本识别过度、对违约样本识别不足的问题,将平衡损失Class Balanced Loss函数引入信用风险评价,构建Class Balanced Loss修正交叉熵的非均衡样本信用风险评价模型。利用所建模型与交叉熵神经网络、支持向量机、决策树、随机森林和K最近邻5种分类模型进行对比,验证BPNN-CBCE对中国某金融机构1 534笔农户贷款数据信用风险预测的有效性;在此基础上,利用UCI公开的德国信贷数据验证BPNN-CBCE模型的稳健性。研究表明:对于农户数据,BPNN-CBCE模型在AUC、违约召回率Default recall方面普遍优于BPNN-CE、SVM、DT、RF和KNN模型,其中,BPNN-CBCE的Default recall相比5种对比模型提升了41.3个百分点,AUC相比5种对比模型提升了15.6个百分点;对于德国数据集,BPNN-CBCE评级模型在AUC、违约召回率Default recall方面也均优于5种对比模型。因此,BPNN-CBCE信用评价模型对农户不均衡信贷数据中的违约样本具有较好的识别能力,可有效降低金融机构客户误判带来的损失。创新与特色:①利用Class Balanced Loss中的平衡因子ω,增大违约样本在目标损失中的权重、降低非违约样本在目标损失中的权重,客观调节正负样本损失在目标损失中权重,弥补交叉熵函数无法调节两类样本损失权重的缺陷,克服由样本不均衡带来的评价模型对非违约样本识别过度、对违约样本识别不足。②通过考虑数据重叠,利用随机覆盖方法,分别对贷款数据中违约、非违约样本进行不放回采样,以对全样本空间X_(违约)、X_(非违约)进行不重叠覆盖,计算两类贷款客户的有效样本数量。既反映由于真实数据之间的内在相似性,随着样本数量的增加,新添加样本很可能是现有样本近似重复的客观事实,也保证基于有效样本对两类样本损失进行重新加权的客观性。将图像识别领域中的Class Balanced Loss函数引入信用评价领域,既拓展了Class Balanced Loss的使用边界,也为解决不均衡样本的信用风险评价提供了新的研究思路。

Closing the nitrogen use efficiency gap and reducing the environmental impact of wheat-maize cropping on smallholder farms in the Guanzhong Plain,Northwest China

A high crop yield with the minimum possible cost to the environment is generally desirable.However,the complicated relationships among crop production,nitrogen(N) use efficiency and environmental impacts must be clearly assessed.We conducted a series of on-farm N application rate experiments to establish the linkage between crop yield and N_2 O emissions in the Guanzhong Plain in Northwest China.We also examined crop yield,partial factor productivity of applied N(PFPN) and reactive N(Nr) losses through a survey of 1 529 and 1 497 smallholder farms that grow wheat and maize,respectively,in the region.The optimum N rates were 175 and 214 kg ha^(-1) for winter wheat and summer maize,respectively,thereby achieving the yields of 6 799 and 7 518 kg ha^(-1),correspondingly,with low N_2 O emissions based on on-farm N rate experiments.Among the smallholder farms,the average N application rates were 215 and 294 kg ha^(-1) season^(-1),thus producing 6 490 and 6 220 kg ha^(-1) of wheat and maize,respectively.The corresponding PFPN values for the two crops were 36.8 and 21.2 kg N kg^(-1),and the total N_2 O emissions were 1.50 and 3.88 kg ha^(-1),respectively.High N balance,large Nr losses and elevated N_2 O emissions could be explained by the overdoses of N application and low grain yields under the current farming practice.The crop yields,N application rates,PFPN and total N_2 O for wheat and maize were 18 and 24% higher,42 and 37% less,75 and 116% higher,and 42 and 47% less,correspondingly,in the high-yield and high-PFPN group than in the average smallholder farms.In conclusion,closing the PFPN gap between the current average and the value for the high-yield and high-PFPN group would increase crop production and reduce Nr losses or the total N_2 O emissions for the investigated cropping system in Northwest China.

Peripheral vestibular system: Age-related vestibular loss and associated deficits

Given the interdependence of multiple factors in age-related vestibular loss (e.g., balance, vision,cognition), it is important to examine the individual contributions of these factors with ARVL. While therelationship between the vestibular and visual systems has been well studied (Bronstein et al., 2015),little is known about the association of the peripheral vestibular system with neurodegenerative disorders (Cronin et al., 2017). Further, emerging research developments implicate the vestibular system asan opportunity for examining brain function beyond balance, and into other areas, such as cognition andpsychological functioning. Additionally, the bidirectional impact of psychological functioning is understudied in ARVL. Recognition of ARVL as part of a multifaceted aging process will help guide thedevelopment of integrated interventions for patients who remain at risk for decline. In this review, wewill discuss a wide variety of characteristics of the peripheral vestibular system and ARVL, how it relatesto neurodegenerative diseases, and correlations between ARVL and balance, vision, cognitive, and psychological dysfunction. We also discuss clinical implications as well as future directions for research, withan emphasis on improving care for patients with ARVL.

Effect of potassium on soil conservation and productivity of maize/cowpea based crop rotations in the north-west Indian Himalayas

Plots under conservation tillage may require higher amount of potassium(K) application for augmenting productivity due to its stratification in upper soil layers, thereby reducing K supplying capacity in a medium or long-term period. To test this hypothesis, a field experiment was performed in 2002-2003 and 2006-2007 to study the effect of K and several crop rotations on yield, water productivity, carbon sequestration, grain quality, soil K status and economic benefits derived in maize(Zea mays L)/cowpea(Vigna sinensis L.) based cropping system under minimum tillage(MT). All crops recorded higher grain yield with a higher dose of K(120 kg K2 O ha-1) than recommended K(40 kg K2 O ha-1). The five years' average yield data showed that higher K application(120 kg K2 O ha-1) produced 16.4%(P<0.05)more maize equivalent yield. Cowpea based rotation yielded 14.2%(P<0.05) higher production than maize based rotation. The maximum enhancement was found in cowpea-mustard rotation. Relationship between yield and sustainable indices revealed that only agronomic efficiency of fertilizer input was significantly correlated with yield. Similarly, higherdoses of K application not only increased the water use efficiency(WUE) of all crops, but also reduced runoff and soil loss by 16.5% and 15.8% under maize and 23.3% and 19.7% under cowpea cover, respectively. This study also revealed that on an average 16.5% of left over carbon input contributed to soil organic carbon(SOC). Here, cowpea based rotation with the higher K application increased carbon sequestration in soil. Potassium fertilization also significantly improved the nutritional value of harvested grain by increasing the protein content for maize(by 9.5%) and cowpea(by 10.6%). The oil content in mustard increased by 5.0% and 6.0% after maize and cowpea, respectively. Net return also increased with the application of the higher K than recommended K and the trend was similar to yield. Hence, the present study demonstrated the potential yield and profit gains along with resource conservation in the Indian Himalayas due to annual additions of higher amount of K than the recommended dose. The impact of high K application was maximum in the cowpea-mustard rotation.

Results: Compared with the control group, the FMA-LE score (Fugl-Meyer motor assessment of Lower Extremity), MBI score (Modified Barthel Index) and BBS score (berg balance scale) of the study group were higher after treatment, and the muscle tone was lower (P Conclusion: Water weight loss walking training can enhance patients’ muscle tension, correct patients’ abnormal gait, improve patients’ balance and walking ability, and contribute to patients’ motor function recovery and self-care ability improvement.

Intelligent identification method and application of seismic faults based on a balanced classification network

This study combined fault identification with a deep learning algorithm and applied a convolutional neural network(CNN)design based on an improved balanced crossentropy(BCE)loss function to address the low accuracy in the intelligent identification of seismic faults and the slow training speed of convolutional neural networks caused by unbalanced training sample sets.The network structure and optimal hyperparameters were determined by extracting feature maps layer by layer and by analyzing the results of seismic feature extraction.The BCE loss function was used to add the parameter which is the ratio of nonfaults to the total sample sets,thereby changing the loss function to find the reference of the minimum weight parameter and adjusting the ratio of fault to nonfault data.The method overcame the unbalanced number of sample sets and improved the iteration speed.After a brief training,the accuracy could reach more than 95%,and gradient descent was evident.The proposed method was applied to fault identification in an oilfield area.The trained model can predict faults clearly,and the prediction results are basically consistent with an actual case,verifying the effectiveness and adaptability of the method.

Bayesian and Non-Bayesian Estimation of the Inverse Weibull Model Based on Generalized Order Statistics

The concept of generalized order statistics has been introduced as a unified approach to a variety of models of ordered random variables with different interpretations. In this paper, we develop methodology for constructing inference based on n selected generalized order statistics (GOS) from inverse Weibull distribution (IWD), Bayesian and non-Bayesian approaches have been used to obtain the estimators of the parameters and reliability function. We have examined Bayes estimates under various losses such as the balanced squared error (balanced SEL) and balanced LINEX loss functions are considered. We show that Bayes estimate under balanced SEL and balanced LINEX loss functions are more general, which include the symmetric and asymmetric losses as special cases. This was done under assumption of discrete-continuous mixture prior for the unknown model parameters. The parametric bootstrap method has been used to construct confidence interval for the parameters and reliability function. Progressively type-II censored and k-record values as a special case of GOS are considered. Finally a practical example using real data set was used for illustration.

Determinants of Bank Liquidity and Its Impact on Bank Profitability in Ethiopia

The objective of the study is to explore determinants of bank liquidity and its impact on bank profitability in Ethiopia by using two-stage least square(2SLS)balanced panel estimation method from 2014-2019.The two dependent variables to be considered under 2SLS balanced panel estimation methods were liquidity risk and bank profitability.The first equation i.e.liquidity risk specified as a function of major explanatory variable i.e.bank profitability,real GDP growth,net loan growth,and foreign exchange availability.Whereas,the second equation i.e.bank profitability specified as a function of bank liquidity,non-interest income,non-interest expense and expectation.The empirical result of the first equation of the study reveals that bank profitability,foreign exchange availability,and real GDP growth have positive significant impact on bank liquidity while net loan and advance has a negative significant impact on bank liquidity.The empirical result of the second equation depicts that bank liquidity has positive effect on bank profitability even if it is insignificant but total non-interest income and expectation have a positive significant effect on bank profitability.Since the paper has also tested some diagnostic check,the result shows that the model has passed the diagnostic test.

适用于中点箝位型三电平逆变器的多目标调制策略

为同时实现中点箝位型三电平逆变器的中点电压平衡和共模电压降低,分别分析了基于载波脉宽调制(CBPWM)和基于虚拟空间矢量脉宽调制(VSVPWM)的中点电压平衡和共模电压降低方法。基于CBPWM提出一种可以降低共模电压的载波脉宽调制(RCMV_CBPWM)策略,可将大多数工作区域的共模电压限制在直流侧电压的1/6以内。为了实现上述2个目标,同时不过分增加开关损耗,在RCMV_CBPWM基础上提出了一种多目标调制(MOPWM)策略,在全调制度和全负载功率因数范围内,共模电压可限制在直流侧电压的1/6以内并实现中点电压平衡,且其开关损耗低于VSVPWM。比较了MOPWM、RCMV_CBPWM和VSVPWM在中点电压控制、共模电压降低和开关损耗降低方面的性能。实验结果验证了MOPWM的可行性和优越性。

抽象使用损失:一种应当赔偿的财产损害

我国侵权领域抽象使用损失可赔偿性尚存争议,究其原因为损害的“差额说”导致。“差额说”由莫姆森(Mommsen)于1855年发表《利益说》一文提出,认为损害为受害人在损害事故发生后所有的财产数额与其在假设损害事故不发生的条件下应有的财产数额的差额。因受害人并未支出替代物费用,自然没有产生财产差额,故无损害的发生。莫姆森“差额说”的理论源头为罗马法上的“利益(interest)”概念,对抽象使用损失可赔偿性的否定来源于对罗马法上差额状态的误解。所谓“差额”关注的是物上利益的整体状态,而非简单的财产数额计算,因此“差额说”的真正内涵应当为侵权事件发生前后的利益变化。抽象使用利益的损失应当为一种财产性利益损失,原因有三:第一,抽象使用损失的范围可以凭借主观计算方法确定,物的抽象使用价值可以凭借“商业价值理论”获得财产价值属性,且其确定性要求并非绝对,仅需达到“相对确定”标准即可;第二,应当同等评价营利物的使用损失和自用物的抽象使用损失,加害人的侵权行为阻碍了权利人实现物上的使用利益,造成了受侵害人合理期待的落空,所谓财产的本质与意义不仅在于其本体,更包括利用该财产以达成人生的目的;第三,财产性利益损失的概念更加周延,避免了损害赔偿范围的盲目扩大,对抽象使用损失加以限制更契合中国特色《民法典》权益保护的理念。德国法早已承认抽象使用损失的可赔偿性,并通过司法实务建构出一套完整的规范系统,并以“规范的损害”概念填补传统“差额说”在使用领域赔偿上的不足。“规范的损害”是与“自然的损害”相对的概念,提出损害的定义不拘泥于法律规定,而是根据受损权益在法规范评价上的重要性来决定是否具有可赔偿性。根据《民法典》设立的“获利返还”制度,加害人代受害人实现了物的抽象使用利益,这一利益根据法秩序应归属于受害人,因此这一利益应当返还给受害人,因此抽象使用损失的可赔偿性符合法规范的评价。我国《民法典》亦受德国法影响,采取损害赔偿的一般规定和具体列举损害赔偿项目的结构,因此德国法上“规范的损害”概念对我国有可借鉴意义。与我国损害赔偿体系融合的过程中需要注意规范评价的限制因素,即须满足“受损物为维系个人生活必需之物”和“可感性”要件。本文之目的即在介绍德国法上相关制度构建,并结合中国特色损害赔偿体系,为国内实务与学说提供参考。

多执行器载荷差异储能均衡系统特性

针对阀控多执行器复合作业系统节流损失大、动势能浪费严重等问题,提出一种多执行器载荷差异储能均衡原理。首先对多执行器系统功率分配特性进行分析,明确了载荷差异产生节流损失的原因是动力源压力与最大负载相匹配,导致其他执行器控制阀产生过大的压力损失。然后建立了载荷储能均衡液压挖掘机联合仿真模型。并设计电液储能单元控制各执行器进油腔的压力相等,从而消除执行器载荷差异造成的节流损失。在动臂、铲斗同时动作时,与流量匹配系统相比,所提系统节流损失降低达75%,系统效率提升39%;同时,电液储能单元实现了传统压力补偿器的压差调控功能,显著提升了系统运行平稳性。
