We have developed a software framework for scientific visualization in immersive-type, room-sized virtual reality (VR) systems, or Cave automatic virtual environment (CAVEs). This program, called Multiverse, allows users to select and invoke visualization programs without leaving CAVE’s VR space. Multiverse is a kind of immersive “desktop environment” for users, with a three-dimensional graphical user interface. For application developers, Multiverse is a software framework with useful class libraries and practical visualization programs as samples.

How to predict and change organizational performance has been a focus problem drawing economists and managers’ attention for a long time. The Big-five Factor theory is very popular among psychologists and ABMS (Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation) method is widely used in Systems Science. By integrating Big-five Factor and ABMS, we proposed a model to predict organizational performance. Fuzzy rules were built up to describe one-on-one cooperation in the five dimensions of personalities and an unsymmetrical network model was established to depict cooperation relationships between team members. What is more, a series of cases was studied and the result was proved to be rational.
如何预测和改变组织绩效一直是经济学家和管理者关注的焦点问题。大五因素理论在心理学家中非常流行,ABMS (Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation)方法在系统科学中得到了广泛的应用。通过整合大五因素和ABMS,我们提出了一个预测组织绩效的模型。在人格五个维度建立了描述一对一合作的模糊规则,建立了描述团队成员之间合作关系的非对称网络模型。并对一系列案例进行了研究,验证了结果的合理性。

Establishing a mathematical supply-chain model is a proposition that has received attention due to its inherent benefits of evolving global supply-chain efficiencies. This paper discusses the prevailing relationships found within apparel supply-chain environments, and contemplates the complex issues indicated for constituting a mathematical model. Principal results identified within the data suggest, that the multifarious nature of global supply-chain activities require a degree of simplification in order to fully dilate the necessary factors which affect, each subsection of the chain. Subsequently, the research findings allowed the division of supply-chain components into subsections, which amassed a coherent method of product development activity. Concurrently, the supply-chain model was found to allow systematic mathematical formulae analysis, of cost and time, within the multiple contexts of each subsection encountered. The paper indicates the supply-chain model structure, the mathematics, and considers how product analysis of cost and time can improve the comprehension of product lifecycle management.

We present a parallel and linear scaling implementation of the calculation of the electrostatic potential arising from an arbitrary charge distribution. Our approach is making use of the multi-resolution basis of multiwavelets. The potential is obtained as the direct solution of the Poisson equation in its Green's function integral form. In the multiwavelet basis, the formally non local integral operator decays rapidly to negligible values away from the main diagonal, yielding an effectively banded structure where the bandwidth is only dictated by the requested accuracy. This sparse operator structure has been exploited to achieve linear scaling and parallel algorithms. Parallelization has been achieved both through the shared memory (OpenMP) and the message passing interface (MPI) paradigm. Our implementation has been tested by computing the electrostatic potential of the electronic density of long-chain alkanes and diamond fragments showing (sub)linear scaling with the system size and efficent parallelization.

The main characteristics of millimeter-wave (MM-wave) image detector were simulated by means of accurate numerical modeling of thermophysical processes in a metamaterial MM-to-IR converter. The converter represents a multilayer structure consisting of an ultra thin resonant metamaterial absorber and a perfect emissive layer. The absorber consists of a dielectric self-supporting film that is metallized from both sides. A micro-pattern is fabricated from one side. Resonant absorption of the MM waves induces the converter heating that yields enhancement of IR emission from the emissive layer. IR emission is detected by IR camera. In this contribution an accurate numerical model for simulation of the thermal processes in the converter structure was created by using COMSOL Multiphysics software. The simulation results are in a good agreement with experimental results that validates the model. The simulation shows that the real-time operation is provided for the converter thickness less than 3 μm and time response can be improved by decreasing of the converter thickness. The energy conversion efficiency of MM waves into IR radiation is over 80%. The converter temperature increase is a linear function of a MM-wave radiation power within three orders of the dynamic range. The blooming effect and ways of its reducing are also discussed. The model allows us to choose the ways of converter structure optimization and improvement of image detector parameters.

Epidemics of infectious diseases have been known to recur in time. Diseases like influenza, despite intervention efforts through vaccination and targeted social distancing, continue to persist intermittently in the population. I have undertaken an analysis of a stochastic epidemic model with the hypothesis that intervention drives epidemic cycles. Intervention indeed is found to induce cycles of epidemic activity. Above a minimum intervention rate, however, activity dies out in finite time. The susceptibility structure of a community could be easily infused into the design of existing surveillance protocols. By tracking that structure, early detection of an impending outbreak is enhanced.
