Methodological problems of intercultural comparisons of retail environments

The internationalising activities of retailers have tended to precede the theoretical contributions of academics. This is particularly the case for the cultural context within which retail internationalisation takes place. Following an examination of the growth of international retailing activity, the article reviews generic difficulties in studying inter-cultural differences before considering the specific steps which retail practitioners have taken to understand the comparative characteristics of retail and consumer markets through the growth of geodemographic and lifestyle analysis. Finally, we relate one of the most significant integrative intercultural theoretical instruments to the case of retail internationalisation within Western Europe. We find that significant insights into retailer behaviour and strategy can be gained from an understanding of the culturally-specific characteristics of the activity.

顾及几何特征和拓扑连续性的道路网匹配方法

已有的道路网匹配方法需要一定的人为干预和控制,仍无法实现匹配自动化,而且对于具有一定尺度差异的数据而言,受不相关道路对象的影响,匹配结果中会存在较多的误匹配。为此,本文提出一种顾及几何特征和拓扑连续性的由粗匹配到精匹配的分层匹配策略。粗匹配阶段,利用短边中位数Hausdorff距离计算匹配对象的相似度,再以道路网弧段端点的近邻分析结果作为匹配阈值,判断匹配对象是否为同名实体;精匹配阶段,将粗匹配阶段评价结果中离散的同名实体构建为完整的道路Stroke,即以追踪的方式剔除误匹配和添加漏匹配。利用宿城区不同尺度的道路网对所提算法进行验证,结果表明,该算法具有较好的匹配效果,能够实现匹配自动化。     

多匹配策略融合的无人机影像匹配方法

针对AKAZE算法在无人机影像匹配过程中存在的匹配精度低和稳定性较差问题,本文提出一种基于多匹配策略融合的改进影像匹配方法。该方法首先对影像降采样并利用AKAZE算法检测多尺度特征。然后采用一种稳定的RootSIFT描述符进行特征描述。其次,融合最近邻距离比值、双向匹配和余弦相似度约束匹配策略进行特征匹配以降低误匹配率。最后,采用随机抽样一致性(RANSAC)算法确定最终的特征对应关系,并求得几何变换模型。实验结果表明,该方法在获得更多正确匹配点对的同时具有较高的匹配正确率和精度,能够更好适用于无人机影像匹配。     

基于图分割的可变比例尺地图分幅回溯算法

总结了地图分幅需遵循的原则,并针对地图集中可变比例尺的分幅,将其定义为基于约束条件的图分割问题,用最小生成树(minimum spanning tree,MST)将制图区域关联起来,基于回溯算法对MST裁剪实现地图集的分幅。实验结果表明,所提出的方法能较好顾及地图集分幅的相关原则,满足地图集制作的要求。同时,利用该方法设计的地图集分幅工具已成功应用于《武汉市汉阳地区地名图集》等的制作,有效提高了地图设计人员的工作效率。

Evaluation of Three Harvest Control Rules for Bigeye Tuna（Thunnus obesus） Fisheries in the Indian Ocean

The stock of Bigeye tuna（Thunnus obesus） in the Indian Ocean supports an important international fishery and is considered to be fully exploited. The responsible management agency, the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission（IOTC）, does not have an explicit management decision-making framework in place to prevent over-fishing. In this study, we evaluated three harvest control rules, i） constant fishing mortality（CF）, from 0.2 to 0.6, ii） constant catch（CC）, from 60000 to 140000 t, and iii） constant escapement（CE）, from 0.3 to 0.7. The population dynamics simulated by the operating model was based on the most recent stock assessment using Stock Synthesis version Ⅲ（SS3）. Three simulation scenarios（low, medium and high productivity） were designed to cover possible uncertainty in the stock assessment and biological parameters. Performances of three harvest control rules were compared on the basis of three management objectives（over 3, 10 and 25 years）： i） the probability of maintaining spawning stock biomass above a level that can sustain maximum sustainable yield（MSY） on average, ii） the probability of achieving average catches between 0.8 MSY and 1.0 MSY, and iii） inter-annual variability in catches. The constant escapement strategy（CE=0.5）, constant fishing mortality strategy（F=0.4） and constant catch（CC=80000） were the most rational among the respective management scenarios. It is concluded that the short-term annual catch is suggested at 80000 t, and the potential total allowable catch for a stable yield could be set at 120000 t once the stock had recovered successfully. All the strategies considered in this study to achieve a ‘tolerable＇ balance between resource conservation and utilization have been based around the management objectives of the IOTC.
