2020 Mathematical Contest in Modeling® Press Release—April 24, 2020 COMAP is pleased to announce the results of the 36th annual real possibility that these companies might have to relocate their Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM). This year, 13753 teams fishing base in order to continue operations. This created a situation representing institutions from twenty countries/regions participated in uniquely apart from large scale commercial operations capable of the contest. Nineteen teams from the following institutions were pursuing the two species wherever they may go. Teams were also designated as OUTSTANDING WINNERS: asked to address implications if the species relocated into new national boundary waters, an action that could have fishing companies running Beijing Institute of Technology, China afoul of established political agreements. With the U.K. poised to exit Beijing Normal University, China (Frank Giordano Award) the European Union at the time this problem was created, the A Dongbei University of Finance and Economics, China problem placed teams within a subset of very real implications of this (ASA Data Insights Award) move on the Scottish small scale fishing industry. Harbin Institute of Technology, China AMS Award NC School of Science and Mathematics, NC, USA The B problem asked a common question of children of all ages: what (SIAM Award & MAA Award) is the best geometric shape to use as a sandcastle foundation in the face North University of China, China, (SIAM Award & AMS Award) of tides and surf? Conditions restricted the problem setting to one Northeast Electric Power University, China supporting a cross-comparison of shapes, sizes, and designs based on Northwestern Polytechnical University, China measures of ‘best’ that teams developed. Water erosion dynamics Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China (2) inspired teams to develop models capable of integrating specific shape Shenzhen University, China geometries with time-based effects in a novel and informative manner. South China University of Technology, China (AMS Award & COMAP Scholarship Award) The C problem asked teams to identify measures and insights that Southwest Jiaotong University, China would inform design, marketing, timing of participation, and other Southwestern University of Finance and Economics, China business decisions for a company planning on selling three products (INFORMS Award) online. Three very large datasets containing past online purchase Tiangong University, China (Ben Fusaro Award) information involving similar products were provided to support their University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, China mathematical models.

Major funding for the MCM is provided by COMAP. Additional support is provided by the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS) and Two Sigma Investments. COMAP's Mathematical Contest in Modeling and Interdisciplinay Contest in Modeling are unique among modeling competitions in that they are the only international contests in which students work in teams to find a solution. Centering its educational philosophy on mathematical modeling, COMAP uses mathematical tools to explore real-world problems. It serves the educational community as well as the world of work by preparing students to become better informed—and prepared—citizens, consumers, and workers.

    Electricity consumption and battery lifespan estimation for transit electric buses: drivetrain simulations and electrochemical modelling by Ana¨ıssiaFranca B.Eng, University of Victoria, 2015 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF APPLIED SCIENCE in the Department of Mechanical Engineering c Anaissia Franca, 2018 University of Victoria All rights reserved. This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopying or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Electricity consumption and battery lifespan estimation for transit electric buses: drivetrain simulations and electrochemical modelling by Ana¨ıssiaFranca B.Eng, University of Victoria, 2015 Supervisory Committee Dr. Curran Crawford, Supervisor (Department of Mechanical Engineering) Dr. Ned Djilali, Supervisor (Department of Mechanical engineering) iii ABSTRACT This thesis presents a battery electric bus energy consumption model (ECONS-M) coupled with an electrochemical battery capacity fade model (CFM). The underlying goals of the project were to develop analytical tools to support the integration of battery electric buses. ECONS-M projects the operating costs of electric bus and the potential emission reductions compared to diesel vehicles for a chosen transit route. CFM aims to predict the battery pack lifetime expected under the specific driving conditions of the route. A case study was run for a transit route in Victoria, BC chosen as a candidate to deploy a 2013 BYD electric bus. The novelty of this work mainly lays in its application to battery electric buses, as well as in the coupling of the ECONS-M and the electrochemical model to predict how long the batteries can last if the electric bus is deployed on a specific transit route everyday.

Variation of font sizes may cause pagination to differ slightly in the web and paper editions. No list of books can be totally up-to-date. Please surf to find further items. Also consult http://www.princeton.edu/~lynn/chinawebs.doc for clicable URLs. This list of items in English has several purposes: --to help advise students' course essays, junior papers, policy workshops, and senior theses about contemporary China; --to supplement the required reading lists of courses on "Chinese Development" and "Chinese Politics," for which students may find books to review in this list; --to provide graduate students with a list that may suggest books for paper topics and may slightly help their study for exams in Chinese politics; a few of the compiler's favorite books are starred on the list, but not much should be made of this because such books may be old or the subjects may not meet present interests; --to supplement a bibliography of all Asian serials in the Princeton Libraries that was compiled long ago by Frances Chen and Maureen Donovan; many of these are now available on the web,e.g., from “J-Stor”; --to suggest to book selectors in the Princeton libraries items that are suitable for acquisition; to provide a computerized list on which researchers can search for keywords of interests; and to provide a resource that many teachers at various other universities have also used.

    6. Jing-Jin-Ji Region, People’s Republic of China Michael Lindfield, Xueyao Duan and Aijun Qiu 6.1 INTRODUCTION The Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei Region, known as the Jing-Jin-Ji Region (JJJR), is one of the most important political, economic and cultural areas in China. The Chinese government has recognized the need for improved management and development of the region and has made it a priority to integrate all the cities in the Bohai Bay rim and foster its economic development. This economy is China’s third economic growth engine, alongside the Pearl River and Yangtze River Deltas. Jing-Jin-Ji was the heart of the old industrial centres of China and has traditionally been involved in heavy industries and manufacturing. Over recent years, the region has developed significant clusters of newer industries in the automotive, electronics, petrochemical, software and aircraft sectors. Tourism is a major industry for Beijing. However, the region is experiencing many growth management problems, undermining its competitiveness, management, and sustainable development. It has not benefited as much from the more integrated approaches to development that were used in the older-established Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta regions, where the results of the reforms that have taken place in China since Deng Xiaoping have been nothing less than extraordinary. The Jing-Jin-Ji Region covers the municipalities of Beijing and Tianjin and Hebei province (including 11 prefecture cities in Hebei). Beijing and Tianjin are integrated geographically with Hebei province. In 2012, the total population of the Jing-Jin-Ji Region was 107.7 million.
