Apart from vari
6、ety in sentence length, other variations are variety in sentence beginning, in grammatical structure (simple, complex, compound-complex ), in rhetorical（修辞学）structure (loose 松散的，periodic 周期性, balanced 平衡的), in the elements (words, phrases, clauses 从句 ), and in sentence rhythms（节奏，韵律）. correct use of
7、 numbers （数字的正确使用） : P17-19 普通规则 如果数据放在句首，一定要用单词，不能用数字：注意如果数字不能用少于四个单词表示，则不应放在句首（最重要的规则，必须遵守） 在写作中，非特殊数据应根据以下两个规则写为单词： 数据小于 100 时，则写为单词 数据如果能用一或二个单词表示，则写为单词 当数据出现在时间单位前，则应根据上面的规则来确定使用数字或单词：注意在技术写作中，不同过程的时间应用精确的数字来表示。 如果句子中罗列了许多数据，则应如下： 如果数据个数不多，且所有数据仅包括一或两个数字，则数据可以用数字或单词来表示 如果罗列的数据包括三或更多的数字，则应使用数字 当
8、一个数据紧接着另一个数据，则第一个数据用单词表示，而第二个数据用数字表示，例: five 16foot boards 当数据用来表示精确的计量、距离、尺寸、容量、重量、钱数和比例时，用数字来表示数据，例如：7 feet 近似数据应用单词表示，在表示的时候应取整数表示：注意：在技术写作中，所有电学数据都应用数字来表示，例如: nearly two hundred, 又如 1500 ohms（电学） 除了特定原因外，四位数据不用逗号，而五位或更多位的数据，则应从右边起每三个数字用逗号分开，例如：5000，又如 12，000 当数据小于 1 时，则应在小数前放置 0，例如：0.008，注意如果数据用
9、列来表示，则小数点应对其，例如：0.7530.00050.925 当表示日期时，通常使用数字，数字通常紧随月份，例如：july 5，1981 在地址中，房号用数字表示；如果街区名字中有小于 100 的数据，则用数字表示，而数据大于 100 时，则使用单词表示，例如：3293 South Twelfth East更正：在地址中，房号用数字表示；如果街区名字中有小于 100 的数据，则街道名用单词表示，而数据大于 100 时，则使用数字表示，例如：3293 South Twelfth East 在技术写作中，时间用数字表示，其后通常紧跟 a.m., p.m., A.M., P.M.。通常使用小写形
10、式，例如： 7a.m.。若所列的小时都包括分钟，则用 0，否则不用，例如：8 a.m. 又如 8：00a.m. 数字通常用来表示图表名。在表示页数时，page 的首字母不用大写，而其他的则需要大写，例如：page 1, Chapter 5, Figure 1 世纪的名称通常用单词表示，且首字母不用大写，例如：the twentieth century 岁数用数字表示，例如：8 years old 仅在法律文件中同时使用数字和单词，但在技术写作中不这样用。当作者选择这种形式，则不需要重复，例如：500 watts，不应写成 five hundred (500) watts rules for f
11、ractions（分数的规则） 所有的分数都用单词表示，例如：two thirds更正：所有的用来表示整体或近似的分数都用单词表示，例如：two thirds 用于特定数据形式的分数应用数字表示，例如： inch(或者 of an inch)21 当分数作为复合形容词的一部分，则必须使用连字符将分数与紧随的形容词（书上的原文，但是我觉得有问题，应该是紧随的量词）连在一起，例如： inch 在复合数（又有整数又有分数，例如假分数）中，应在整数和分数之间使用连字符或者空格，例如：1 inches21 当复合数作为复合形容词一部分时，整数与分数之间使用空格，而在复合数和紧随的形容词之间使用连字符，例
12、如：1 inch pipe21 整篇文章的分数格式必须一致，要么都使用连字符，要么都使用空格。注：不知道 P20 的大写是否要考 3、paraphrasing（意译）：见书 P25-26 要注意 paraphrasing 应与原文长度相等。意译、概括和评论是写论文时的必须部分。当我们引用他人的看法时，我们需要意译和/或总结，并表明出处。进行意译的方式如下： 使用同义词 改变单词形式 使用不同的过渡词，并进行必要的结构调整 在主动语态和被动语态之间进行转换 在肯定词和否定词之间进行转换 如果有可能，以作者和标题结尾 不要改变专业术语 提及原文献4、definition ：见书 P47-48、49
13、，通常是给几个名词选一个写 definition在正式的定义中，首先应说出该事物所属的种类，然后再将其与本种类中其他事物区别。 the grammar of definitions 定义的语法：P47 使用正确的冠词 进行必要的删减 使用适当的介词 five guidelines for writing a definition 写定义的五个指导：P48 使用精确的词语来表示类别，例如：错：a microscope is an object, 对：a microscope is an instrument 要求更正式，例如：错：a solar cell is something that, 对
14、： a solar cell is a device that 避免使用要定义词语的不同形式来解释该词语，例如：错：erosion is a process during which the surface of the earth erodes 在定义中避免使用 when 和 where，例如：错：pollution is when 一些专业词汇有不同的含义，因此在写定义时，应先定性说明目的，例如：例：A cylinder as used in this report is a chamber in which force is exerted on the piston of a reci
15、procating engine. extended definitions 扩展定义：P49-50 分析成分，例见 P49 举例，例见 P50 说明发展历程，例见 P50 说明应用范围，例见 P50 说明普通定义存在的问题或例外，例见 P50 预测未来，例见 P50 contrastive definition 通过对比下定义：P51-53，格式如下：如：the former deals with _ , while the latter is concerned with _ comparative definition 通过比较下定义，两种方法如下所列，好的比较定义通常包括这两个方法，见
16、书 P53： 说明该定义历史上的变更 概述现代其他专家对于该定义的看法。5、作文（不多于 200 字，要求用 PS 结构的文章）：见书 P55，最好写四小段。PS（问题解答）结构的文章通常包括 4 个部分： description of a situation 描述相关情况：见书 P55 identification of a problem 辨别问题 description of a solution 描述解决方法 evaluation of the solution 评估解决方法注意：有可能考书上 P57 的 practice 23 中的五个词语（如下所列） ，尤其前三个： Private

31、n fuel containers of spacecraft has been given increasing attention with the 1development of liquid-filled spacecraft. At present, the linear equivalent mechanical model is commonly 2used to deal with the liquid sloshing in engineering practice. The model parameters, frequencies and 3damping of the
32、sloshing with small amplitude have to be identified1. Theoretical analysis of damping 4in liquid sloshing with small amplitude can be traced back to Stokes2 who calculated the flow over an oscillating plane and remarked that the flow over an oscillating curved boundary may be approximated with a rel
33、atively good accuracy by regarding each element of the boundary as an infinite plane oscillating with the same velocity. But there is a great difference between the theoretical results and measured values. 5It was pointed out in Ref. 3 that the damping of liquid sloshing is usually caused by: (i) vi
34、scous 6dissipation at a rigid boundary of the container, (ii) viscous dissipation at the free surface, which may be covered by a viscoelastic film, (iii) viscous damping in the interior fluid，and (iv) capillary hysteresis at a contact line. Miles and Henderson3,4, and Martel et a1.5 did a series of
35、analyses on the sloshing 7damping in a full cylinder container and proposed to compute the rigid boundary damping based on Stokes theory and the inner damping based on Lambs dissipation and take their sum as the total damping. Hexi 8Baoin6 presented an eigenvalue equation for computing the sloshing
36、damping in the interior fluid and the frequencies. According to these studies it can be said that the liquid sloshing damping is very 9complicated and in most cases it is impossible to get the exact value. Therefore, to estimate the range 10may be a better way for engineering practice. In the presen
37、t paper, a damping estimation scheme based 11on FEM is proposed.Introduction 21Aircraft seats are an airlines product. 2Similar to any other product, a larger quantity secures sales, while extra inventory incurs costs.3For airlines, providing larger capacities implies higher operating costs. 4On the
38、 other hand, aircraft seats are perishable, that is, unsold seats at the departure of the flight are wasted. 5Consequently, the ideal strategy is to provide just the right number of seats to passengers at the right price. 6The first of these two ideals is addressed by the fleet assignment process, w
39、hich is the subject of the present paper, while the second falls in the purview of yield or revenue management.7The fleet assignment problem (FAP) deals with assigning aircraft types, each having a different capacity, to the scheduled flights, based on equipment capabilities and availabilities, oper
40、ational costs, and potential revenues. 8An airlines fleeting decision highly impacts their revenues: Assigning a smaller aircraft than needed on a flight will result in spilled (i.e., lost) customers due to insufficient capacity; assigning a larger aircraft will result in spoiled (i.e., unsold) seat
41、s, and presumably higher operational costs. 9Thus, FAP constitutes an essential component of an airlines overall scheduling process. 10However, due to the large number of flights scheduled each day, which can easily reach thousands for a major airline, and the dependency of the FAP on other airline
42、processes such as schedule design, crew scheduling, aircraft routing, maintenance planning, and revenue management, solving the FAP has always been a challenging task for the airlines. 11As a result, it is not surprising that the FAP has been extensively studied in the Operations Research literature
43、. 12However, most of the traditional approaches proposed for the FAP depend on solving the FAP in isolation from the other airline scheduling processes and under restrictive assumptions such as considering the same-every-day schedule; and using point forecasts for flight-based demands instead of iti
44、nerary-based or path-based demands.13Furthermore, customers rejected from their requested itineraries (due to capacity restrictions) are often assumed to be lost. 14In reality, they may choose to take another route that is comparable to their first choice itinerary in terms of the origin, destinatio
45、n, and time-frame (i.e., they may be recaptured).15The recapture effect has mostly been ignored in analytical studies until very recently.16Recent advances in information technology, coupled with an increasingly competitive marketplace, have motivated researchers to consider new approaches for the F
46、AP over the last decade. 17These new directions include: (1) integrating the FAP with other airline decision processes such as schedule design, aircraft maintenance routing, and crew scheduling; (2) proposing solution techniques that include additional considerations into the traditional fleeting mo
47、dels, such as considering itinerary-based demand forecasts and the recapture effect, as well as investigating the effectiveness of alternative approaches such as randomized search procedures; and (3) studying dynamic fleeting mechanisms that update the initial fleeting solution as departures approac
48、h and more information on demand patterns is gathered, thus providing a more effective way to match the airlines supply with demand.18The aim of this paper is to present a tutorial on the basic and enhanced models and approaches that have been developed for the FAP as well as to suggest some future research directions in this arena.19F
