DEBT MATURITY STRUCTURE IN PROJECT FINANCING

Based on the concept of debt duration,this paper proposes the elasticity of cash flow.Then,the debt maturity structure in project financing is discussed.The results show that in the project financing structure,the debt maturity structure is closely related with debt capacity.Higher debt ratio requires short term debt,and vise versa.

Optimal decision of retailer for replenishment cycle under a deteriorating product supply chain

In order to minimize the total cost of the retailer, an optimal replenishment cycle is studied by considering the deteriorating product, two-level trade credits, the limited storage capacity of their own warehouse and credit-linked order quantity simultaneously. A two-echelon supply chain model, which consists of a supplier and a retailer, is established. Then, the retailer＇s optimal replenishment cycle under all the cases are derived by using the optimization theory and method. On the basis of these, the effects of system parameters on the optimal replenishment cycle are examined by using the numerical studies. The results show that, when the retailer＇s trade credit period is longer （shorter） than the customer＇s trade credit period, the optimal replenishment cycle should he increased （decreased） as the retailer＇s trade credit period increases; if the minimum order quantity is high （low）, the optimal replenishment cycle should be increased （not changed） as the minimum order quantity increases.

Progression of remnant gastric cancer is associated with duration of follow-up following distal gastrectomy

AIM： TO re-evaluate the recent clinicopathological fea- tures of remnant gastric cancer （RGC） and to develop desirable surveillance programs.METHODS： Between 1997 and 2008, 1149 patients underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer at the Department of Digestive Surgery, Kyoto Prefectural Uni- versity of Medicine, Japan. Of these, 33 patients un- derwent gastrectomy with lymphadenectomy for RGC. Regarding the initial gastric disease, there were 19 patients with benign disease and 14 patients with gas- tric cancer. The hospital records of these patients were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS： Concerning the initial gastric disease, the RGC group following gastric cancer had a shorter in- terval [P 〈 0.05; gastric cancer vs benign disease： 12 （2-22） vs 30 （4-51） years] and were more frequently reconstructed by Billroth- I procedure than those fol- lowing benign lesions （P 〈 0.001）. Regarding recon- struction, RGC following Billroth-]_l reconstruction showed a longer interval between surgical procedures [P 〈 0.001; Billroth-11 vs Billroth- I ： 32 （5-51） vs 12 （2-36） years] and tumors were more frequently associated with benign disease （P 〈 0.001） than those following Billroth- I reconstruction. In tumor location of RGC, after Billroth- I reconstruction, RGC occurred more fre- quently near the suture line and remnant gastric wall. After Billroth- 1I reconstruction, RGC occurred more fre- quently at the anastomotic site. The duration of follow- up was significantly associated with the stage of RGC （P 〈 0.05）. Patients diagnosed with early stage RGC such as stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ tended to have been followed up almost every second year. CONCLUSION： Meticulous follow-up examination and early detection of RGC might lead to a better prognosis. Based on the initial gastric disease and the procedure of reconstruction, an appropriate follow-up interval and programs might enable early detection of RGC.

Infinitely many periodic solutions for second-order Hamiltonian systems

The existence of high energy periodic solutions for the second-order Hamiltonian system -ü（t）＋A（t）u（t）=▽F（t,u（t）） with convex and concave nonlinearities is studied, where F（t, u） = F1（t,u）＋F2（t,u）. Under the condition that F is an even functional, infinitely many solutions for it are obtained by the variant fountain theorem. The result is a complement for some known ones in the critical point theory.

LINEAR FILTERING FOR VASICEK TERM STRUCTURE MODEL WITH SEQUENTIALLY CORRELATED NOISE

When Kalman filter is used in the estimation of Vasicek term structure of interest rates,it is usual to assume that the measurement noise is uncorrelated.Study results are more favorable to the assumption of correlated measurement noise.An augmented state Kalman filter form for Vasicek model is proposed to optimally estimate the unobservable state variable with the assumption of correlated measurement noise.Empirical results indicate that the model with sequentially correlated measurement noise can more accurately describe the dynamics of the term structure of interest rates.

Minimum Cost Multi-Path Parallel Transmission with Delay Constraint by Extending Openflow

Sometimes user has the requirement to run a high bandwidth application over a low bandwidth network. But its implementation is not easy as the traditional network transmits data with only one path where its bandwidth is lower than the demand. Although the current network technology like SDN has the ability to precisely control the data transmission in the network, but till now the standard openflow protocol does not support splitting one flow to multiple flows. In this paper, a flow splitting algorithm is proposed. The algorithm splits a data flow to multiple sub-flows by extending the openflow protocol. A multiple paths routing algorithm is also proposed to implement the multi-path parallel transmission in the paper. The algorithm selects multiple paths and minimizes the cost of transmission under the constraint of maximum delay and delay variance. The simulations show the algorithms can significantly improve the transmission performance.

A novel resource co-allocation model with constraints to budget and deadline in computational grid

To address the issue of resource co-allocation with constraints to budget and deadline in grid environments, a novel co-allocation model based on virtual resource agent was proposed. The model optimized resources deployment and price scheme through a three-side co-allocation mechanism, and applied queuing system to model the work of grid resources for providing quantitative deadline guarantees for grid applications. The validity and solutions of the model were presented theoretically. Extensive simulations were conducted to examine the effectiveness and the performance of the model by comparing with other co-allocation policies in terms of deadline violation rate, resource benefit and resource utilization. Experimental results show that compared with the three typical co-allocation policies, the proposed model can reduce the deadline violation rate to about 3.5% for the grid applications with constraints to budget and deadline. Also, the system benefits can be increased by about 30% compared with the those widely-used co-allocation policies.

Mobility in the Retirement Period An Assessment of the Current Situation

Today, individuals＇ attitudes towards retirement and old age have changed with the increase of life expectancy and healthy and active years after retirement, rise in purchasing power, and mobility opportunities. As a result of this change, the rate of post-retirement migration, settling into a new life in a new region after retirement, has considerably increased. However, despite of this increase, post-retirement migration is one of the least analyzed migration movements among existing studies. Hence, in this article, studies analyzing properties of post-retirement migration and factors causing this migration are assessed. As every migration movement, post-migration movements also create changes laying different responsibilities on both emigrant and immigrant regions and migrating person and require settling into a new life in the place of arrival. In the relevant studies, the basic reason for post-retirement migration is considered as pursuit of peace and joy and it is defined as a migration type under the high influence of counter-urbanization movement. According to the results of the study, it is stated that post-retirement migrants, unlike many international migrants, can buy their own houses in the countries of arrival and can maintain a relatively high standard of living compared to that local community, and that this situation is a very attractive factor encouraging them to migrate. Moreover in the studies, characteristics causing migration and belonging to the region of departure are analyzed as aversive while characteristics belonging to the region of arrival are analyzed as attractive factors.

Quantifying local predictability of the Lorenz system using the nonlinear local Lyapunov exponent

The nonlinear local Lyapunov exponent（NLLE） can be used as a quantification of the local predictability limit of chaotic systems. In this study, the phase-spatial structure of the local predictability limit over the Lorenz-63 system is investigated. It is found that the inner and outer rims of each regime of the attractor have a high probability of a longer than average local predictability limit, while the center part is the opposite. However, the distribution of the local predictability limit is nonuniformly organized, with adjacent points sometimes showing quite distinct error growth.The source of local predictability is linked to the local dynamics, which is related to the region in the phase space and the duration on the current regime.

Earnings information quality, debt maturity structure and investment efficiency

This paper studies the effect of earnings information quality and debt maturity structure and their interaction on investment efficiency. The results show that companies with higher earnings information have higher investment efficiency, and the quality of earnings information has increased investment efficiency by reducing the lack of investment and suppressing overinvestment. The companies with higher short-term debt ratio show higher investment efficiency. The results show that there is a certain substitution effect between the effect of earnings information quality and the maturity strueture of debt on the efficiency of investment.
