Quantity Flexibility contract coordinates individually motivated supplier and buyer to the systemwide optimal outcome by effectively allocating the costs of market demand uncertainty. The main feature of the contract is to couple the buyer's commitment to purchase no less than a certain percentage below the forecast with the supplier's guarantee to deliver up to a certain percentage above. In this paper we refine the previous models by adding some realistic features including the upper and lower limits of the purchase. We also incorporate purchase and canceling costs in a cost function to reflect the real world contracting process more accurately. To obtain the solution of the model, we derive a condition for extreme points using the Leibniz's rule and construct an algorithm for finding the optimal solution of the model. Several examples illustrating the algorithm show that the approach is valid and efficient.

This paper is concerned with the development of the silk trade and in particular with silk-ikat production. Early origins are explained and issues relating to the development of long-distance trade are discussed. The principal trading participants are identified and the focus is turned to silk-ikat production in Central Asia. It is recognised that the vast bulk of trade, along what became known as the 'Silk Route' (or 'Silk Road'), did not involve straight-forward or direct exchange between powers to the far east of the route and powers to the far west, but rather was done in stages between adjacent or not too distant locations. Diffusion of ideas was not therefore immediate and operational at one eastern or western extreme of a trading network but, rather, was a gradual process influencing adjacent participants, at stages between the geographic extremes over a long period of time.

Many research works for improving a boundary lubrication performance have been executed by using solid lubricants, and been tried to apply an engine lubrication. However those general lubricants have not been applied on engines due to the extreme conditions such as very high temperature and pressure during combustion process in a cylinder. In this study a lubricant containing copper alloy nano-powder is applied on a diesel engine driven by an electric motor. Torques and shaft vibrations are measured, then an engine friction loss and rotating stability are assessed. The results show that the frequency of the vibration is about the same as that of a general lubricant, but the amplitudes in the both X and Y direction are reduced as well as the friction loss is reduced.

Objective of this paper is to introduce a new technology known as prognostics and health management (PHM) which enables a real-time life prediction for safety critical systems under extreme loading conditions. In the PHM, Bayesian framework is employed to account for uncertainties and probabilities arising in the overall process including condition monitoring, fault severity estimation and failure predictions. Three applications - aircraft fuselage crack, gearbox spall and battery capacity degradation are taken to illustrate the approach, in which the life is predicted and validated by end-of-life results. The PHM technology may allow new maintenance strategy that achieves higher degree of safety while reducing the cost in effective manner.

The plasma chemical vapor deposition is one of the most utilized techniques for the diamond growth. As the applications of diamond thin films prepared by plasma chemical vapor deposition(CVD) techniques become more demanding, improved fine-tuning and control of the process are required. The important parameters in diamond film deposition include the substrate temperature, $CO/H_2$gas flow ratio, total gas pressure, and gas excitation power. With the spectroscopic ellipsometry, the substrate temperature as well as the various parameters of the film can be determined without the physical contact and the destructiveness under the extreme environment associated with the diamond film deposition. Through this paper, the important parameters during the diamond film growth using $CO+H_2$are determined and it is shown that $sp^2$ C in the diamond film is greatly reduced.

The purpose of this study is to find out the creative visual expression in fashion illustration through the previous general theories on creativity. The creative visual expression, in fashion illustration works, can be summarized eight categories as follows. There are 'maximization & minimization'to emphasize the illustrators'emotions and contemporary trends, proposed specially in body expression, 'inversion' seen as the forms of contra-perspective, upside-down, rearrangement of parts, diverted process, etc, 'Unusual uses'to add the effect of caricature, parody, and humor to the fashion illustration works, 'extraordinary connection'seen as the shapes of various combination between animals, plants, stuff, and man, 'concealment & elimination'used frequently in creative visual expression includes a deformed human body, an abstracted human body, an extreme value contrast, simple colors, and dress in silhouette, 'association'seen in various methods; comparing the similar shapes, describing a certain situation or details for analogizing the whole, ‘illusion’ expressed in surreal, mysterious, and fairy depictions and 'substitution'to imitate the composition and colors of masterpieces, copy the parts.

In this paper we apply PMC (parallel model combination) to speech recognition system online. As a representative of model based noise compensation techniques, PMC compensates environmental mismatch by combining pretrained clean speech models and real-time estimated noise information. This is very effective approach for compensating extreme environmental mismatch but is inadequate to use in on-line system for heavy computational cost. To reduce the computational cost and to apply PMC online, we use a noise masking effect - the energy in a frequency band is dominated either by clean speech energy or by noise energy - in the process of model compensation. Experiments on artificially produced noisy speech data confirm that the proposed technique is fast and effective for the on-line model compensation.

Solvent effects on gas phase reactions of methoxide ion with substituted ethylenes, $CH_2$ = CHR where R = CN, CHO and $NO_2$, are investigated theoretically using the AM1 method. Results show that the methoxide approaches in-plane in all reactions, but subsequently rotate out-of-plane to form tetrahedral complexes in additon reactions. All reactions of a bare methoxide are found to be exothermic, the exothermicity being the greatest in the ${\beta}$-addition, in which the excess energy is forced to be contained within the ${\beta}$-adduct rendering extreme instability. However a part of the excess energy can be removed by a solvate molecule giving a stable complex prior to the product formation. The hydride transfer processes were found to be unfavorable due to the high activation barriers. The ${\alpha}-H^+$ abstraction process from acrylonitrile becomes endothermic as a result of monosolvation of the methoxide, in agreement with experimental results.

Due to the development of medical imaging technology, different imaging technologies provide a large amount of effective information. However, different imaging method caused the limitations of information integrity by using single type of image. Combining different image together so that doctor can obtain the information from medical image comprehensively. Image registration algorithm based on mutual information has become one of the hotspots in the field of image registration with its high registration accuracy and wide applicability. Because the information theory-based registration technology is not dependent on the gray value difference of the image, and it is very suitable for multimodal medical image registration. However, the method based on mutual information has a robustness problem. The essential reason is that the mutual information itself is not have enough information between the pixel pairs, so that the mutual information is unstable during the registration process. A large number of local extreme values are generated, which finally cause mismatch. In order to overcome the shortages of mutual information registration method, this paper proposes a registration method combined with image spatial structure information and mutual information.

On October 3, 1990, Germany achieved peaceful reunification by integrating East Germany into West Germany. Since reunification, the region of East Germany had to have a new value standard in extreme social changes such as legal, political, administrative and spatial amid rapid systemic changes. The purpose of this study is to characterize urban policy related to urban change in DDR in the past 30 years after German unification. In particular, this study examined the change of construction law and Städtebauförderung Program as urban policy. The characteristics of Städtebauförderung programs and urban regeneration are in context with their contents. The characteristics of Städtebauförderung program support program are ultimately aimed at resolving imbalances among cities, improving the quality of life of residents and developing cities with future-oriented sustainability.
