(Note that the inequality relations of output constraints were printed wrongly in Yang et al. (2011),we correct them in the following models.)Table 1A numerical exampleSupply chain SI IP MO SC1(10,8)1(6,5)SC2(7,3)4(9,10)θd =min θs.t.⎧⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎨⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎩N j =1λj X ∗j ≤θ×X d Nj =1λj Y ∗j ≥Y

.However,both the proofs of T SC –SP ⊆T SC –P and T SC –SP ⊇T SC –P are problematic.In fact,T SC –SP ⊇T SC –P is not correct,which can be seen from the following numerical example.Suppose there are two supplier-manufacturer supply chains SC1and SC2,whose supplier inputs (SI),intermediate products (IP)and manufacturer outputs (MO)are listed in Table 1.Let X =(6,1),Y =(8,6),it is easy to verify that (X,Y )∈T SC –P by settingλS =(0,1/3),λM =(4/3,0).However,(X,Y )/∈T SC –SP .In fact,there does not exist λ1and λ2such that the constraints of T SC –SP are satisfied.The proof of T SC –SP ⊇T SC –P in Yang et al.(2011)used the following conclusion:If (X,Y )/∈T SC –SP ,there exists λ≥0such thatN j =1λj x pj θ∗Sj=x pandN j =1λj y qj /θ∗Mj <y q .However,the above conclusion is not correct.In the above example,(X,Y )/∈T SC –SP ,θ∗S 1=0.175,θ∗S 2=1,θ∗M 1=1,θ∗M 2=0.5,there does not exist λ≥0such thatN j =1λj x pj θ∗Sj=x pandN j =1λj y qj /θ∗Mj <y q .If fact,if (X,Y )/∈T SC –SP ,there does not exists λ≥0such that N j =1λj x pj θ∗Sj ≤x p and Nj =1λj y qj /θ∗Mj ≥y q .(Note that the constraints on intermediate products are redundant.)In other words,if (X,Y )/∈T SC –SP ,at least one constraint does not hold for any λ≥0.The above conclusion used in Yang et al.(2011)is just one probable situation,and is extremely special.The proof of T SC –SP ⊆T SC –P in Yang et al.(2011)is also problematic,although the propo-sition is true.The outline of their proof is as follows.For any(X,Y)∈T SC–SP,there must existλj,j=1,...,N,such that:Nj=1λj x pjθ∗Sj≥x p,p=1,...,PNj=1λj y qj/θ∗Mj≥y q,q=1,...,Q(4)Then they use the transformations:λSj=λjθ∗Sj,λM j=λj/θ∗Mj,j=1,...,N(5) and rewrite the above two inequalities in(4)as:Nj=1λSjx pj≥x p,p=1,...,PNj=1λMjy qj≥y q,q=1,...,Q(6)And then they conclude that(X,Y)∈T SC–P.However,we must notice that there are also constraints on intermediate products in the definition of T SC–P.By using the transformations in(5),we will have:Nj=1λSji kj=Nj=1λj i kjθ∗Sj,k=1,...,KNj=1λMji kj=Nj=1λj i kj/θ∗Mj,k=1,...,K(7)Sinceθ∗Sj ≤1andθ∗Mj≤1,we haveλj i kjθ∗Sj≤λj i kj/θ∗Mj for all j=1,...,N and it is activeif and only ifθ∗Sj=θ∗Mj=1.Thus,we have:Nj=1λSji kj≤Nj=1λMji kj,k=1,...,K(8)The constraints are active if and only ifθ∗Sj =θ∗Mj=1for all j=1,...,N,i.e.all suppliersand manufacturers in all supply chains are CCR(weakly)efficient.However,if we recall the definition of T SC–P,the following constraints on intermediate products are required.Nj=1λSji kj≥i k,k=1,...,KNj=1λMji kj≤i k,k=1,...,K⎫⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎬⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎭⇔Nj=1λSji kj≥Nj=1λMji kj,k=1,...,K(9)From(8)and(9),we can conclude that(X,Y)∈T SC–P only when they are active for allk=1,...,K,i.e.θ∗Sj =θ∗Mj=1for all j=1,...,N.That means the proof of Yang et al.(2011)is correct only when all suppliers and manufacturers in all supply chains are CCR (weakly)efficient.We will give a new proof of the following theorem.Theorem1T SC–SP⊆T SC–P.Proof Suppose the optimal solution of the

.3Performance evaluation model3.1Overall supply chain efficiency and CCR efficiencyYang et al.(2011)proposed the following Theorem 2to depict the relationship between the efficiency scores of supply chains calculated from Model (3)and the following CCR model.θCCR d =min θs.t.⎧⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎨⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎩N j =1λj x pj ≤θ×x pd ,p =1,...,PN j =1λj y qj ≥y qd ,q =1,...,Q λj ≥0,j =1,...,N(12)They argued that Model (3)will be transformed into Model (12)if the constraints(X ∗j ,Y ∗j )∈T SC –SP are eliminated.However,if we eliminate (X ∗j ,Y ∗j )∈T SC –SP ,(X ∗j ,Y ∗j )could take any value.If we regard (X ∗j,Y ∗j )as variables,the model will become non-linear programming.If we regard (X ∗j,Y ∗j )as parameters,the model will become parametric linear programming,whose optimal value depends on parameters (X ∗j,Y ∗j ).Neither of them could be converted to CCR model (12).We will give a new proof of Theorem 2.Theorem 2θ∗d≤θCCR d .Proof Suppose the optimal solution of Model (12)is (λ∗1d ,...,λ∗Nd ,θCCR

)is a feasible solution of Model (3).Then we have θ∗d ≤θCCRd .3.2Overall supply chain efficiency and subsystems’CCR efficienciesYang et al.(2011)proposed the following Theorem 3to depict the relationship between the efficiency scores of supply chain calculated from Model (3)and the CCR efficiency scores of its supplier and manufacturer.In order to prove the theorem,they rewrite Model (3)as the following programming:θd =min θs.t.⎧⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎨⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎩N j =1λj X ∗j ≤θ×X d N j =1λj Y ∗j ≥Y d N j =1¯λj X j θ∗Sj ≤X ∗j(e)N j =1¯λj Y j /θ∗Mj ≥Y ∗j (f)N j

=1,...,N (14)However,the transformations of the constraints (e)and (f)to (g)and (h)are not correct.In fact,by using the transformations,the two constraints will becomeN j =1¯λj X j θ∗Sj ≤¯X j θ∗Sj ,N j =1¯λj Y j /θ∗Mj ≥¯Y j /θ∗MjIt is obvious that we can not eliminate θ∗Sj or θ∗Mj from the both sides of the inequalitiesunless θ∗S 1=···=θ∗SN and θ∗M 1=···=θ∗MN ,which would result θ∗S 1=···=θ∗SN =1and θ∗M 1=···=θ∗MN =1,since at least one efficiency score equals to one in CCR model.Thus,their proof is correct only when all suppliers and manufacturers in all supply chains are CCR (weakly)efficient.In such case,Model (3)will degenerate into CCR model.We will give a new proof of the following theorem.Theorem 3θ∗d≤θ∗Sd ×θ∗Md ,where θ∗d is the optimal value of Model (3),θ∗Sd and θ∗Md are the CCR efficiency scores of the d th supplier and manufacturer ,respectively .Proof We rewrite Model (3)as the following form:θ∗d =min θs.t.⎧⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎨⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎪⎩N j =1λj x pj θ∗Sj ≤θ×x pd ,p

obvious that θ∗d ≤θ=θ∗Sd ×θ∗Md ,which ends the proof.ReferencesAlfonso,E.,Kalenatic,D.,et al.(2010).Modeling the synergy level in a vertical collaborative supply chainthrough the IMP interaction model

《上市公司市盈率影响因素研究国内外文献综述2700字》
上市公司市盈率影响因素研究国内外文献综述1 国外文献综述国外有关市盈率的理论研究和实证分析已经相对比较完善和全面,国外学者从各个方面对市盈率进行了相关的理论或者实证分析。
最早提出市盈率概念的是“现代证券分析奠基人”本杰明·格雷厄姆(Benjamin Graham)。
早在1934年,他与大卫·多德合著的《证券分析》一书中首次对市盈率作了表述,在他们看来,股票的价值是其当期收益的一定倍数,而这个倍数由两个方面决定,一部分由当时的人气决定,也就是投资者预期;另一部分由企业的性质和记录决定,即企业的盈利能力和模式等特点决定,而这个一定倍数正是表示市盈率的大小【1】。
在市盈率的内在含义方面,Fairfield(1994)从经济含义的角度分析了市盈率和市净率,认为市盈率是未来盈利能力预期变化函数,市净率是未来盈利能力预期水平函数。
而且,通过利用美国1970-1984 年的数据建立模型发现,从账面价值角度看,市净率与预期回报呈正相关关系,对未来超额盈余的增长率有正面的影响,市净率与市盈率合在一起对未来股价有比较强的预测能力,此外,根据市盈率与市净率进行分组的不同的组合对未来的盈利能力也会不同【2】。
Kane, Marcus 和Noh(1996)认为市盈率是十分易变的,实证研究结果表明,市场波动增加百分之一能够引起市盈率1.8%的降低,因此,任何对于市场价值的评估,如果不考虑市盈率的变动将犯根本上的错误【3】。
Sujata Behera(2020)通过对大中小盘236 家公司的股票市值,进行了相关信息含量分析。
结果表明,在正常市场收益率变化的情况下,基于经济增加值的估值模型优于需求收益率不变的基于经济增加值的估值模型【5】。
Adil Pasha等(2019)通过对13 个行业的70 家非金融类巴基斯坦证券交易所上市公司10 年的数据,进行研究发现经济增加值与股票收益率之间存在显著的关系【6】。

机械通气临床应用指南(中华重症医学分会2024)
机械通气临床应用指南中华医学会重症医学分会(2024年)引言重症医学是探讨危重病发生发展的规律,对危重病进行预防和治疗的临床学科。
器官功能支持是重症医学临床实践的重要内容之一。
机械通气从仅作为肺脏通气功能的支持治疗起先,经过多年来医学理论的发展及呼吸机技术的进步,已经成为涉及气体交换、呼吸做功、肺损伤、胸腔内器官压力及容积环境、循环功能等,可产生多方面影响的重要干预措施,并主要通过提高氧输送、肺脏爱护、改善内环境等途径成为治疗多器官功能不全综合征的重要治疗手段。
机械通气不仅可以依据是否建立人工气道分为“有创”或“无创”,因为呼吸机具有的不同呼吸模式而使通气有众多的选择,不同的疾病对机械通气提出了具有特异性的要求,医学理论的发展及循证医学数据的增加使对呼吸机的临床应用更加趋于有明确的针对性和规范性。
在这种条件下,不难看出,对危重病人的机械通气制定规范有明确的必要性。
同时,多年临床工作的积累和多中心临床探讨证据为机械通气指南的制定供应了越来越充分的条件。
中华医学会重症医学分会以循证医学的证据为基础,采纳国际通用的方法,经过广泛征求看法和建议,反复仔细探讨,达成关于机械通气临床应用方面的共识,以期对危重病人的机械通气的临床应用进行规范。
重症医学分会今后还将依据医学证据的发展及新的共识对机械通气临床应用指南进行更新。

The Do-All-Right Marketing Research firm has promised payments to its bondholders that total $100. The company believes that there is a 85% chance that the cash flow will be sufficient to meet these claims. However, there is a 15% chance that cash flows will fall short, in which case total earnings are expected to be $65. If the bonds sell in the market for $84, what is an estimate of the bankruptcy costs for Do-All-Right? Assume a cost of debt of 10%.63. Establishing a capital structure for a firm is not simple. Although financial theory guides the process, there is no simple formula. List and explain four main items that one should consider in determining the capital structure.Wigdor Manufacturing is currently all equity financed, has an EBIT of $2 million, and is in the 34% tax bracket. Louis, the company's founder, is the lone shareholder.64. If the firm were to convert $4 million of equity into debt at a cost of 10%, what would be the total cash flow to Louis if he holds all the debt? Compare this to Louis' total cash flow if the firm remains unlevered.65. Assume that all earnings are paid out as dividends. Now consider the fact that Louis must pay personal tax on the firm's cash flow. Louis pays taxes on interest at a rate of 33%, but pays taxes on dividends at a rate of 28%. Calculate the total cash flow to Louis after he pays personal taxes.66. Consider an economy in which there are three groups of investors and no others.There are no personal taxes on income from stocks. An investment is available that pays a tax-free 4%.

汇率决定理论
定了本国货币的贵金属含量,因此货币之间的兑换有着一个客观的标准——铸币 平价,而且当时国际经济往来绝大部分是国际贸易,资本的国际流动不占重要地 位,因此,这一段时间的汇率决定问题相对比较简单。19 世纪中期以前,尽管 休谟(Hume)、桑顿(Thornton)和李嘉图(Ricardo)等不同时代的学者都曾对 汇率决定提出过一些论述和看法,但总的看来,这段时期里关于汇率决定理论的 研究只是零散的、泛泛的,并没有系统而完整的理论出现。然而,这一段时期的 许多观点,对后来汇率决定理论的产生和发展却有着深远的影响,成为许多汇率 决定理论的思想渊源。

RAP exhibited immunomodulating effects on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells.2.Materials and methods2.1.MaterialThe roots of A.membranaceus were purchased from herbal store in Hong Kong and identified by Dr.Chun-Feng Qiao.The voucher specimens are deposited at the Institute of Chinese Medicine,the Chinese University of Hong Kong,with voucher specimen number 2010-3268.Hiload26/60Superdex-200prep grad was purchased from Pharmacia Co.(Uppsala,Sweden).The dextran standards(T-2000,T-270,T-80,T-50,T-25and T-12with molecular masses of2,000,000,270,000,80,000,50,000and12,000respectively) and monosaccharide standards of d-mannose(Man),l-rhamnose (Rha),d-galactose(Gal),d-arabinose(Ara),and d-glucose(Glc) were obtained from Merck Co.(Darmstadt,Germany).Ultra-pure water was produced by a Milli-Q water purification system(Milli-pore,Bedford,MA,USA).Lipopolysaccharide(LPS)was purchased from Sigma(St.Louis,USA).All chemical reagents were of analytical grade.2.2.Extraction and purification of polysaccharideThe air-dried Radix Astragali(100g)was cut into pieces and extracted twice with boiling water(2×1.2L)for1h.The solution wasfiltered and concentrated under reduced pressure.The solu-tion was precipitated with four volumes of absolute ethanol for 12h.The precipitate was resolved again in water and deproteined using Sevag method(Staub,1965)forfive times.Then the solution was dialyzed against distilled water for72h.Finally,the retentate was lyophilized with Virtis Freeze Dryer(The VirTis Company,New York,USA)to yield crude polysaccharide(RACP,1.67g).RACP was dissolved in distilled water(4mg/mL),filtered through a0.45m membrane and separated by the Buchi Puri-fier system(BUCHI Labortechnik AG,Switzerland)coupled with a Hiload26/60Superdex-200(2.6cm×60cm)column,eluted with water at aflow rate of2mL/min.Fractions were collected every 3min and checked using phenol-sulfuric acid under UV detection at490nm.Gel permeation chromatography(GPC)was used to test the homogeneity of the purified polysaccharide.Total carbohydrate was determined using the phenol-sulfuric acid colorimetric method(Dubois,Gilles,Hamilton,Rebers,& Smith,1956).Uronic acid contents were determined accord-ing to Blumenkrantz and Asboe-Hansen’s method(Blumenkr& Asboehan,1973).Protein was estimated by photometric assay using bovine serum albumin as the standard(Bradford,1976). Specific rotation was recorded with a Perkin-Elmer241M digital polarimeter.2.3.Homogeneity and molecular weightThe homogeneity and molecular weight of the purified polysac-charide was determined by GPC.It was analyzed on a Waters UPLC system(Waters,Milford,MA)equipped with a Waters Ultrahydrogel TM1000column(7.8mm×300mm),a Waters ELS Detector,controlled with a Binary Solvent Manager system.The ELS Detector conditions were as follows:drift tube temperature (75◦C),nebulizer temperature(48◦C),gain(300◦C),gas pressure (45Psi).Dextran standards with different molecular weight were used to calibrate the column and establish a standard curve.2.4.Monosaccharide composition analysisRAP was hydrolyzed with2M trifluoroacetic acid(TFA)at120◦C for2h in a sealed test tube.The acid was removed under reduced pressure by repeated evaporation with methanol,and then the hydrolysate was converted into alditol acetates(Chen,Xie,Nie,Li,& Wang,2008;Jones&Albersheim,1972).Shimadzu GC/MS-QP2010 equipment(Nishinokyo Kuwabaracho,Kyoto,Japan)was used for the identification and quantification of monosaccharides.2.5.Methylation and GC–MS analysis2.5.1.Reduction of polysaccharideThe reduction of the uronic acid was conducted following a pro-cedure as described in the literature(Taylor&Conrad,1972)with slight modifications.RAP(20mg)was added into water and treated with1-cyclohexyl-3-(2-morpholinoethyl)-carbodimide methyl-p-toluenesulfonate(CMC)forfive times,until the reduction of uronic acid completed.The polysaccharide after reduction(RAP-R)was subjected to monosaccharide composition and methylation analy-sis.2.5.2.Methylation and GC–MS analysisMethylation analysis of polysaccharide(RAP and RAP-R)was conducted according to the reported methods(Ciucanu&Kerek, 1984;Guo,Cui,Wang,&Christopher Young,2008)with some mod-ifications.The dried polysaccharide was dissolved in anhydrous dimethyl sulphoxide.Dry sodium hydroxide(30mg)was added, and the mixture was stirred for3h at room temperature.Methyl iodide was added into the mixture.The reaction was stopped by adding water.The methylated polysaccharides were then extracted with chloroform followed by washing with distilled water for three times.They were acetylated with acetic anhydride to obtain par-tially methylated alditol acetates(PMAA).GC/MS analysis of PMAA was performed on a DB-5ms capillary column(0.25m×0.25m×30m)using a temperature program-ming of140◦C(3min)to250◦C(40min)at2◦C/min.Helium was used as the carrier gas.The components were identified by a combi-nation of the main fragments in their mass spectra and relative GC retention times,comparing with the literature(Wang,He,&Huang, 2007).2.6.Partial acid hydrolysisRAP(50.5mg)was treated with0.05M TFA(10mL)at100◦C for1h.The product was concentrated by evaporation of TFA with methanol,and then dialyzed against distilled water(5×500mL, molecular weight3500Da cut off).The solution outside of the dial-ysis bag(RAP-P-L)was collected for monosaccharide analysis and ESI-MS.The solution in the dialysis bag(RAP-P-H)was concen-trated and lyophilized.RAP-P-H’s homogeneity was confirmed by GPC.It was further applied to monosaccharide compositions and methylation analysis.2.7.FT-IR analysisInfrared spectra were recorded with a Thermo Nicolet5700 infrared spectrometer(Madison,WI,USA),using KBr disks method.2.8.NMR spectroscopyRAP was treated with deuterium by lyophilizing with D2O for three times.The deuterium-exchanged RAP(25mg)was put in a5-mm NMR tube and dissolved in0.5mL of99.9%D2O.NMR-spectra were recorded with a Brucker AM-600NMR(Karlsrhue,Germany).J.-Y.Yin et al./Carbohydrate Polymers87 (2012) 667–6756692.9.Molecular morphology analysisPolysaccharide powder was placed on the sample stage,and coated with a thin layer of gold in a MODEL IB-3ion coater(Eiko Corp.,Mito City,Japan).Then it was examined in a QUANTA200F scanning electron microscope(FEI Company,Holland).The sample was viewed at an accelerating voltage of30kV.The atomic force microscopy in this study was manufactured by Shanghai AJ Nano-Science Development Limited(Shanghai,China) and operated in the tapping mode.RAP was diluted to thefinal concentration of5g/mL in distilled water.5L of solutions was dropped onto freshly cleaved mica and allowed to stand in air before imaging.The quoted spring constant was between5.5and 25N m−1.2.10.Immunomodulatory activities of RAP on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC)Immunomodulatory activities of RAP were determined by the capacity of the compounds to influence the cytokine production by human PBMC.PBMCs were obtained from the buffy coat collected from Hong Kong Red Cross by density gradient separation.Buffy coat was diluted1:1with phosphate buffer saline(PBS)and this was overlaid on Ficoll Paque Plus(Amersham Biosciences).Cells were washed with PRMI and plated in96-well plates at105cells/well. Serial dilutions of RAP from10to10,000ng/mL were added to the wells.The plates were maintained in a37◦C incubator for24h. The immunomodulatory effects on PBMC of RAP were compared with a well known mitogen lipopolysaccharide(LPS)from Gram negative bacteria.The cell free supernatants were then assayed for GM-CSF(granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor), IFN(interferon)-␥,IL(interleukin)-1,IL-2,IL-4,IL-10IL-12and TNF(tumor necrosis factor)-␣production by commercially avail-able human cytokine ELISA kits(BD OptEIA,USA)according to the manufacturer instruction with detection limits ranged from3.1to 7.8pg/mL.3.Results and discussion3.1.Isolation and purification of RAPRAP was purified from the crude polysaccharide RACP through a Hiload26/60Superdex-200column.It presented a single and symmetrical peak in GPC(gel-permeation chromatography)exam-ination on an Ultrahydrogel TM1000column(Fig.1).The average molecular weight was1334kDa with reference to Dextran T-series standard samples of known molecular weight.The total sugar con-tent was determined to be76.5%using the phenol-sulfuric acid method.It had a high specific rotation of[␣]D20+125.8(0.54,H2O) and weak UV absorption at280nm which was consistent with its low protein content(only0.72%).The uronic acid content was56.7% using colorimetric method.3.2.Monosaccharide compositions analysisAfter complete hydrolysis of RAP by2M TFA,its monosaccha-ride composition was determined using GC–MS.As demonstrated in Table1,RAP contained Rha,Ara,Glc and Gal.Reduction of RAP with CMC-NaBH4gave the carboxyl-reduced derivative RAP-R and further analysis of RAP and RAP-R both indicated the presence of GalA.The molar ratio of Rha,Ara,Glc,Gal and GalA of RAP was 0.03:1.00:0.27:0.36:0.30,in which the ration of GalA was calculated by the increase of Gal content in RAP-R.Table1Monosaccharide composition of RAP,RAP-R(RAP after reduction),RAP-P-H,RAP-P-L,and RAP-P-L-NH.RAP,after partially hydrolysis followed by dialysis,gave two parts:RAP-P-H(the part in the dialysis bag)and RAP-P-L(the part outside of the dialysis bag).RAP-P-L-NH meant direct examination on the monosac-charides in RAP-P-L before complete hydrolysis.The results were obtained ona Shimadzu GC/MS-QP2010series coupled with a DB-5ms capillary column(0.25m×0.25m×30m).Samples Mw(kDa)Monosaccharide composition(molar,%)Rha Ara Glc GalRAP13340.03(1.8) 1.00(60.2)0.27(16.3)0.36(21.7) RAP-R n.d.0.01(0.6) 1.00(55.6)0.13(7.2)0.66(36.7)

methylated and analyzed by GC–MS in order to elucidate the linkages(Table2).Compared with GalA’s content given in monosaccharide composition analysis,the carboxyl-reduced RAP-R showed a significant increase of1,4-linked Gal p,suggesting the GalA in RAP was1,4-linked.Similarly,it could be suggested that RAP was mainly composed of T-linked Ara f,1,5-linked Ara f,1,4-linked Glc p,1,4-linked GalA p,1,3-linked Glc p and 1,3,6-linked Gal p.The terminals consisted of Ara f(20.6%),Glc p (2.0%)and Gal p(5.2%),indicating RAP was significantly branched and the side chains were terminated by the Ara residues.The ratio of T-,1,5-and1,3,5-linked Ara f(50.9:41.7:7.4)sug-gested that the Ara side chains contained a central core of1,5-linked Ara f residues.The high proportion of T-linked Ara f residues sug-gested that some terminal Ara residues existed in the Ara side chains,and others were attached to the highly branched Gal side chains or connected to the back bone directly(Ros,Schols,& Voragen,1996;Sun,Cui,Tang,&Gu,2010).The proportion of terminal,1,4-,1,3-,1,6-,1,2,4-,1,4,6-and 1,3,6-linked Gal p was9.3:8.7:16.1:8.1:5.0:11.1:41.6.The low pro-portion of terminal residues of Gal(9.3%)indicated that a part of the Gal side chains were terminated by the Ara residues.The Rha residues were exclusively1,2,4-linked.Glc residues were mainly terminal,1,4-linked units,with a small amount of1,3,4-linkedTable2GC–MS analysis for methylation of RAP,RAP-R and RAP-P-H on a DB-5ms capillary column(0.25m×0.25m×30m).PMAA a Molar ratios b Linkages cRAP RAP-R RAP-P-H2,3,5-Me3-Ara13.420.6

arabinogalactan,and a 1,3,6-linked in type II arabinogalactan,suggesting that RAP contain different types of Gal branches.3.4.Partial acid analysisPartial degradation of polysaccharide by acid hydrolysis is based on the fact that some glycosidic linkages are tolerable to acid.To determine more structural features,RAP (50.5mg)was partially hydrolyzed with 0.1M TFA to give two parts,RAP-P-H (in the dialysis bag)and RAP-P-L (outside of the dialysis bag).Direct exam-ination on the monosaccharides in RAP-P-L found only Ara,while after complete hydrolysis it gave a small amount of Glc (9.0%)and Gal (2.1%)in addition to Ara (88.8%)(Table 1).It was suggested that RAP probably contained terminal residues of Ara in the branch areas.There was no GalA found in RAP-P-L in HPLC examination (Honda et al.,1989),which confirmed that GalA was located intheFig.6.AFM image of RAP.RAP was dissolved in distilled water at the concentration of 5g/mL.5L of solution was dropped onto freshly cleaved mica and allowed to stand in air before imaging.backbone of RAP.These results suggested that GalA and Rha existed in the backbone and the neutral sugars were located in the side chains.ESI-MS of RAP-P-L presented sodium cationized pseu-domolecular ions at m /z 1159.9[Ara 6(Glc/Gal)2+Na]+,997.3[Ara 6(Glc/Gal)+Na]+,702.0[Ara 5+Na]+,569.1[Ara 4+Na]+,407.1[Ara 3+Na]+and 305.1[Ara 2+Na]+.RAP-P-L seemed a mixture of monosaccharide (terminal Ara residues)and oligosaccharide (containing [Ara-Ara]linkages).The degraded polysaccharide RAP-P-H (30mg)was mainly com-posed of Gal and Glc,with small amounts of Rha and Ara (Table 1).Its average molecular weight was 1215kDa.The methylation analy-sis (Table 2)showed that the removal of most Ara f residues resulted in an increase of the ratio of 1,6-linked Gal p and significant increase for 1,3-linked Gal p .Therefore it could be deduced that Ara residues were attached to 1,6-linked and mainly 1,3-linked Gal residues.RAP-P-H gave no 1,3,5-linked Ara f ,suggesting that 1,3,5-linked Ara f should be in the branch.A great amount of 1,4-linked Glc p residues still detected in RAP-P-H indicated that 1,4-linked Glc p residues were located in the backbone of RAP.3.5.FT-IR spectra analysisThe IR spectrum of RAP (Fig.2A)showed a strong band at 3404cm −1which was attributed to the hydroxyl stretching vibra-tion of the polysaccharide.The band at 2935cm −1was due to C–H stretching vibration.Bands at 1743and 1618cm −1indicated the ester carbonyl (COOR)groups and carboxylated ion groups (COO −)(Gnanasambandam &Proctor,2000).The FT-IR spectrum of RAP showed a strong absorbance at 1021,1100and 1142cm −1attributed to the stretching vibrations of ␣-pyranose ring of the glucosyl residue.Moreover,the characteristic absorptions at 830and 916cm −1indicated that both ␣-and -configurations existed.These observations confirmed that the RAP was a polysaccharide containing uronic acid.The IR spectrum of RAP-P-H (Fig.2B)showed the same charac-teristic absorption with RAP which indicated RAP-P-H retained the backbone of RAP.3.6.NMR analysisSignals in the 1H and 13C NMR spectra of RAP were assigned as much as possible,according to monosaccharide compositions analysis,methylation results and literature values (Bock,Pedersen,&Pedersen,1984;Chandra,Ghosh,Ojha,&Islam,2009;Polle,J.-Y.Yin et al./Carbohydrate Polymers87 (2012) 667–675673Fig.7.Cytokines production(GM-CSF,IFN-␥,IL-1,IL-2,IL-4,IL-10IL-12and TNF-␣)of human blood mononuclear cells(PBMC)with the addition of RAP or LPS from2to

region.Due to the existence of H2O in the sample or HDO from D2O,there was large signal atı4.815ppm which disturbed the analysis of RAP.Therefore,another1H NMR spectrum was obtained at50◦C(Fig.3B).From methylation analysis,1,4-linked Glc p was the main resides in RAP.So the signal atı5.096ppm was assigned to␣-1,4-linked Glc p.The signal atı 5.254ppm was assigned to␣-1,5-linked Ara f,and the signal atı5.162ppm was originated from␣-1,3,5-linked Ara f.The signal atı4.968ppm was assigned to␣-1,4-linked GalA p6Me,which meant some of1,4-linked GalA p was present as methyl ester.The signal atı4.922could be assigned to␣-1,4-linked GalA p.The signals atı4.693and4.653ppm were assigned to-1,3,6-linked Gal p.The signal atı4.469ppm was assigned to-1,3-linked Gal p and corresponded with-1,3-linked Gal p anomeric carbon resonance atı104.43ppm in the HSQC.The proton signals nearbyı2.083,2.131and2.186ppm could be assigned from the–CH3of the O-acetyl groups.It suggested that RAP contained kinds of O-acetyl groups at the different positions of the sugar residues or different chemical environments.Signal atı1.260ppm was identified to be H-6from methyl group of the Rha residues.The overlapped signals in the range ofı3.355–4.410ppm were assigned to protons H-2to H-5(or H-6)of the glycosidic ring.The anomeric signals in the13C NMR spectrum of RAP (Fig.4A)were assigned partly according to correlations in the HSQC spectrum.The signal atı108.66ppm correlated to H-1 (ı108.66/5.096ppm)of T-Ara f.The signal atı110.48ppm cou-pled to H-1(ı110.48/5.254ppm)of1,5-linked Ara f.The signal atı108.13ppm corresponded to1,3,5-linked Ara f,which was confirmed by its absence in the13C NMR spectrum of RAP-P-H (Fig.4B).The low-field chemical shifts indicated the Ara residues were in furnanose form and adopted␣-anomeric configuration(Xu et al.,2010).Methylation analysis results showed that1,3-linked674J.-Y.Yin et al./Carbohydrate Polymers87 (2012) 667–675Gal p residues increased significantly after partial acid hydrolysis of pared with the13C NMR of RAP,signal atı104.43ppm became much stronger in RAP-P-H.So the signal atı104.43ppm (ı104.43/4.469ppm from HSQC)was assigned to1,3-linked Gal p. The signal atı101.37ppm was assigned to C-1of1,4-linked GalA p. The signals atı101.60and100.18ppm were assigned to C-1 of1,3,6-linked Gal p and␣-1,4-linked GalA p6Me.And the signal atı100.61ppm was assigned to C-1of1,4-linked Glc p.The sig-nal atı62.36ppm was assigned to C-5of a terminal Ara,while the stronger signal atı61.68ppm was attributed to the C-6of 1,4-linked Glc p.The signal atı18.06ppm could be assigned to the methyl carbon of Rha.The signal atı54.15ppm could be assigned to methyl ester groups of RAP.The presence of methyl esterified GalA p was also supported by the signals atı54.15/3.814ppm in HSQC spectrum (Bushneva,Ovodova,Shashkov,&Ovodov,2002).In the lowfield, typical signals for the C-6carboxyl group of GalA were observed at ı176.33and172.06ppm,which confirmed the presence of free and esterified carboxyl groups of GalA.RAP and RAP-R after hydrolysis were acetylated,and no methylated monosaccharide was detected by GC–MS(Samuelsen et al.,1999).It was confirmed that the1,4-linked GalAp was present as1,4-linked GalAp6Me.3.7.Molecular morphology of RAPIts molecular morphology was further investigated by scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and atomic force microscopy(AFM).The SEM micrograph of RAP was shown in Fig.5.RAP appeared as loose flaky and curly aggregation.The observed irregular microstructure demonstrated that RAP was a type of amorphous solid.The molecular morphology of RAP was further investigated by single molecular AFM.The topographical image was shown in Fig.6. The results showed that there were many spherical lumps within the height of3–70nm while the height of a single polysaccharide chain is generally0.1–1nm,which suggested molecular aggrega-tion happened somehow.There might be a repulsive force between the polysaccharide and the mica causing aggregation(Chen et al., 2009)because both RAP and the mica a type of aluminum sili-cate were negative.The side chains might be another reason for the aggregation(Sletmoen,Maurstad,Sikorski,Paulsen,&Stokke, 2003).3.8.Immunomodulatory activities on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC)RAP has been investigated for its in vitro effect on the cytokine profile(GM-CSF,IFN-␥,IL-1,IL-2,IL-4,IL-10,IL-12and TNF-␣) of unstimulated human PBMC compared with LPS.No significant productions of cytokines were detected in drug free negative con-trol.When RAP was added to RPMI for24h incubations,potent stimulatory effects on the production of two pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1and TNF-␣from PBMC were observed from200to 10,000ng/mL(Fig.7).These cytokines are important in mediating the immune response against bacterial infections.Dose dependent stimulation of IL-10,IL-12and GM-CSF productions from PBMC were also observed with RAP addition but the stimulatory activ-ities was not weaker than LPS.The source of these5cytokines is mainly from monocytes and these results suggested that RAP is an activator of monocytes and further studies are required to inves-tigate its mechanism of action such as the involvement of toll like receptors.For T cell producing cytokines(IL-2,IL-4and IFN-␥),RAP did not produce any significant effects on PBMC(Fig.7).4.ConclusionA water soluble polysaccharide(RAP),with the average molec-ular weight1334kDa,was isolated from Radix Astragali.It was composed of Rha,Ara,Glc,Gal and GalA in a molar ratio of 0.03:1.00:0.27:0.36:0.30.The structure was characterized by par-tial acid hydrolysis,methylation analysis,FT-IR,GC–MS and1H and13C NMR analysis.The backbone of RAP mainly consisted of 1,2,4-linked Rha p,␣-1,4-linked Glc p,␣-1,4-linked GalA p6Me,-1,3,6-linked Gal p.It had branches at O-4of the1,2,4-linked Rha p and O-3or O-6of-1,3,6-linked Gal p.The side chains mainly consisted of␣-T-Ara f and␣-1,5-linked Ara f possessing O-3as branching points,with trace Glc and Gal.The terminal residues were T-linked Ara f,T-linked Glc p and T-linked Gal p.Morphol-ogy analysis using SEM and AFM showed that RAP took random coil feature.This hyperbranched heteroglycan exhibited significant immunomodulating effects by stimulating the cytokines produc-tion mainly from monocytes in a dose dependent manner.

企业家必知——现金流(Cash Flow)创业案例
企业家必知——现金流(Cash Flow)-19 00:25------------------"创业同路人"创业经验交流区], 若希望更进一步认识创业路上的朋友, 请到"创业同路人"报到区报到如果您有志创业但缺乏思路,欢迎进入商机大家探, 与创业朋友们共同探讨!!创业加油站点评:现金流,企业生存的命脉,无论如何强调都不算过分.现金流量定义现金流量是现代理财学中的一个重要概念,是指企业在一定会计期间按照现金收付实现制,通过一定经济活动(包括经营活动、投资活动、筹资活动和非经常性项目)而产生的现金流入、现金流出及其总量情况的总称。
即:企业一定时期的现金和现金等价物的流入和流出的数量。
现金流量管理是现代企业理财活动的一项重要职能,建立完善的现金流量管理体系,是确保企业的生存与发展、提高企业市场竞争力的重要保障。
什么是现金现金流量管理中的现金,不是我们通常所理解的手持现金,而是指企业的库存现金和银行存款,还包括现金等价物,即企业持有的期限短、流动性强、容易转换为已知金额现金、价值变动风险很小的投资等。
包括现金、可以随时用于支付的银行存款和其他货币资金。
一项投资被确认为现金等价物必须同时具备四个条件:期限短、流动性强、易于转换为已知金额现金、价值变动风险小。
现金流量的分类在现金流量表中,将现金流量分为三大类:经营活动现金流量、投资活动现金流量和筹资活动现金流量。
经营活动是指直接进行产品生产、商品销售或劳务提供的活动,它们是企业取得净收益的主要交易和事项。
投资活动,是指长期资产的购建和不包括现金等价物范围内的投资及其处置活动。
筹资活动,是指导致企业资本及债务规模和构成发生变化的活动。
现金流量表按照经营活动、投资活动和筹资活动进行分类报告,目的是便于报表使用人了解各类活动对企业财务状况的影响,以及估量未来的现金流量。
在上述划分的基础上,又将每大类活动的现金流量分为现金流入量和现金流出两类,即经营活动现金流入、经营活动现金流出、投资活动现金流入、投资活动现金流出、筹资活动现金流入、筹资活动现金流出。
USP-1174 POWDER FLOW
1174 POWDER FLOWvary as the pile forms.Variations in Angle of Repose MethodsIn addition to the above methods, the following variations have been used to some extent in the pharmaceutical literature:Drained angle of repose is determined by allowing an excess quantity of material positioned abov e a fixed diameter base to “drain” from the container. Formation of a cone of powder on the fixed diameter base allows determination of the drained angle of repose.Dynamic angle of repose is determined by filling a cylinder (with a clear, flat cover on one end) and rotating it at a specified speed. The dynamic angle of repose is the angle (relative to the horizontal) formed by the flowing powder.The internal angle of kinetic friction is defined by the plane separating those particles sliding down the top layer of the powder and those particles that are rotating with the drum (with roughened surface).Angle of Repose General Scale of FlowabilityAlthough there is some v ariation in the qualitative description of powder flow using the angle of repose, much of the pharmaceutical literature appears to be consistent with the classification by Carr* , which is shown in Table 1. There are examples in the literature of formulations with an angle of repose in the range of 40 to 50 that were manufactured satisfactorily. When the angle of repose exceeds 50, the flow is rarely acceptable for manufacturing purposes.Table 1.Flow Properties and CorrespondingAngles of Repose*Flow Property Angle of Repose (degrees)Excellent25–30Good31–35Fair—aid not needed36–40Passable—may hang up41–45Poor—must agitate, vibrate46–55Very poor56–65Very, very poor>66Experimental Considerations for Angle of ReposeAngle of repose is not an intrinsic property of the powder; i.e., it is very much dependent upon the method used to form the cone of powder. The following important considerations are raised in the existing literature:The peak of the cone of powder can be distorted by the impact of powder from above. By carefully building thepowder cone, the distortion caused by impact can be minimized.The nature of the base upon which the powder cone is formed influences the angle of repose. It is recommended that the powder cone be formed on a “common base,” which can be achiev ed by forming the cone of powder on a layer of powder. This can be done by using a base of fixed diameter with a protruding outer edge to retain a layer of powder upon which the cone is formed.Recommended Procedure for Angle of ReposeForm the angle of repose on a fixed base with a retaining lip to retain a layer of powder on the base. The base should be free of vibration. Vary the height of the funnel to carefully build up a symmetrical cone of powder. Care should be taken to prev ent v ibration as the funnel is mov ed. The funnel height should be maintained approximately 2–4 cm from the top of the powder pile as it is being formed in order to minimize the impact of falling powder on the tip of the cone. If a symmetrical cone of powder cannot be successfully or reproducibly prepared, this method is not appropriate. Determine the angle of repose bymeasuring the height of the cone of powder and calculating the angle of repose, , from the following equation:COMPRESSIBILITY INDEX AND HAUSNER RATIOIn recent years the compressibility index and the closely related Hausner ratio have become the simple, fast, and popular methods of predicting powder flow characteristics. The compressibility index has been proposed as an indirect measure of bulk density, size and shape, surface area, moisture content, and cohesiveness of materials because all of these can influence the observed compressibility index. The compressibility index and the Hausner ratio are determined by measuring both the bulk v olume and the tapped volume of a powder.Basic Methods for Compressibiity Index and Hausner RatioAlthough there are some v ariations in the method of determining the compressibility index and Hausner ratio, the basic procedure is to measure (1) the unsettled apparent v olume, V O, and (2) the final tapped v olume, V f, of the powder after tapping the material until no further v olume changes occur. The compressibility index and the Hausner ratio are calculated as follows:Alternatively, the compressibility index and Hausner ratio may be calculated using measured values for bulk density (bulk)and tapped density (tapped) as follows:In a variation of these methods, the rate of consolidation is sometimes measured rather than, or in addition to, the change in v olume that occurs on tapping. For the compressibility index and the Hausner ratio, the generally accepted scale of flowability is given in Table 2*.Table 2.Scale of Flowability*CompressibilityIndex (%)Flow Character Hausner Ratio10Excellent 1.00–1.1111–15Good 1.12–1.1816–20Fair 1.19–1.2521–25Passable 1.26–1.3426–31Poor 1.35–1.4532–37Very poor 1.46–1.59>38Very, very poor>1.60Experimental Considerations for the Compressibility Index and Hausner RatioCompressibility index and Hausner ratio are not intrinsic properties of the powder; i.e., they depend on the methodology used. In the existing literature, there are discussions of the following important considerations affecting the determination of (1) the unsettled apparent volume, V o, (2) the final tapped v olume, V f, (3) the bulk density, bulk, and (4) the tappeddensity, tapped:The diameter of the cylinder usedThe number of times the powder is tapped to achiev e the tapped densityThe mass of material used in the testRotation of the sample during tappingRecommended Procedure for Compressibility Index and Hausner RatioUse a 250-mL v olumetric cylinder with a test sample weight of 100 g. Smaller weights and v olumes may be used, butv ariations in the method should be described with the results. An av erage of three determinations is recommended.FLOW THROUGH AN ORIFICEThe flow rate of a material depends upon many factors, some of which are particle-related and some related to the process. Monitoring the rate of flow of material through an orifice has been proposed as a better measure of powder flowability. Of particular significance is the utility of monitoring flow continuously because pulsating flow patterns have been observed ev en for free flowing materials. Changes in flow rate as the container empties can also be observed. Empirical equations relating flow rate to the diameter of the opening, particle size, and particle density have been determined. However, determining the flow rate through an orifice is useful only with free-flowing materials.The flow rate through an orifice is generally measured as the mass per time flowing from any of a number of types of containers (cylinders, funnels, hoppers). Measurement of the flow rate can be in discrete increments or continuous.Basic Methods for Flow Through an OrificeThere are a variety of methods described in the literature. The most common method for determining the flow rate through an orifice can be classified on the basis of three important experimental v ariables:1. The type of container used to contain the powder. Common containers are cylinders, funnels, and hoppers fromproduction equipment.2. The size and shape of the orifice used. The orifice diameter and shape are critical factors in determining powder flowrate.3. The method of measuring powder flow rate. Flow rate can be measured continuously using an electronic balancewith some sort of recording device (strip chart recorder, computer). It can also be measured in discrete samples (for example, the time it takes for 100 g of powder to pass through the orifice to the nearest tenth of a second or theamount of powder passing through the orifice in 10 seconds to the nearest tenth of a gram).Variations in Methods for Flow Through an OrificeEither mass flow rate or v olume flow rate can be determined. Mass flow rate is the easier of the methods, but it biases the results in favor of high-density materials. Because die fill is v olumetric, determining volume flow rate may be preferable. Av ibrator is occasionally attached to facilitate flow from the container; howev er, this appears to complicate interpretation of the results. A mov ing orifice dev ice has been proposed to more closely simulate rotary press conditions. The minimum diameter orifice through which powder flows can also be identified.General Scale of Flowability for Flow Through an OrificeNo general scale is available because flow rate is critically dependent on the method used to measure it. Comparison between published results is difficult.Experimental Considerations for Flow Through an OrificeFlow rate through an orifice is not an intrinsic property of the powder. It v ery much depends on the methodology used. Several important considerations affecting these methods are discussed in the existing literature:The diameter and shape of the orificeThe type of container material (metal, glass, plastic)The diameter and height of the powder bed.Recommended Procedure for Flow Through an OrificeFlow rate through an orifice can be used only for materials that have some capacity to flow. It is not useful for cohesive materials. Provided that the height of the powder bed (the “head” of the powder) is much greater than the diameter of the orifice, the flow rate is v irtually independent of the powder head. Use a cylinder as the container because the cylindermaterial should have little effect on flow. This configuration results in flow rate being determined by the movement of powder over powder rather than powder along the wall of the container. Powder flow rate often increases when the height of the powder column is less than two times the diameter of the column. The orifice should be circular and the cylinder should be free of v ibration. General guidelines for dimensions of the cylinder are as follows:Diameter of opening > 6 times the diameter of the particlesDiameter of the cylinder > 2 times the diameter of the openingUse of a hopper as the container may be appropriate and representative of flow in a production situation. It is not adv isable to use a funnel, particularly one with a stem, because flow rate will be determined by the size and length of the stem as well as the friction between the stem and the powder. A truncated cone may be appropriate, but flow will be influenced by the powder-wall friction coefficient, making selection of an appropriate construction material an important consideration.For the opening in the cylinder, use a flat-faced bottom plate with the option to vary orifice diameter to provide maximum flexibility and to better ensure a powder-over-powder flow pattern. Rate measurement can be either discrete or continuous. Continuous measurement using an electronic balance can more effectiv ely detect momentary flow rate variations.SHEAR CELL METHODSIn an effort to put powder flow studies and hopper design on a more fundamental basis, a v ariety of powder shear testers and methods that permit more thorough and precisely defined assessment of powder flow properties have been dev eloped. Shear cell methodology has been used extensively in the study of pharmaceutical materials. From these methods, a wide v ariety of parameters can be obtained, including the yield loci representing the shear stress-shear strain relationship, the angle of internal friction, the unconfined yield strength, the tensile strength, and a v ariety of deriv ed parameters such as the flow factor and other flowability indices. Because of the ability to more precisely control experimental parameters, flow properties can also be determined as a function of consolidation load, time, and other env ironmental conditions. The methods hav e been successfully used to determine critical hopper and bin parameters.Basic Methods for Shear CellOne type of shear cell is the cylindrical shear cell that is split horizontally, forming a shear plane between the lower stationary base and the upper mov eable portion of the shear cell ring. After powder bed consolidation in the shear cell (using a well-defined procedure), the force necessary to shear the powder bed by mov ing the upper ring is determined. Annular shear cell designs offer some advantages over the cylindrical shear cell design, including the need for less material. A disadvantage, howev er, is that because of its design, the powder bed is not sheared as uniformly; i.e., material on the outside of the annulus is sheared more than material in the inner region. A third type of shear cell (plate-type) consists of a thin sandwich of powder between a lower stationary rough surface and an upper rough surface that is mov eable.All of the shear cell methods have their adv antages and disadvantages, but a detailed review is beyond the scope of this chapter. As with the other methods for characterizing powder flow, many v ariations are described in the literature. A significant adv antage of shear cell methodology in general is a greater degree of experimental control. The methodology is rather time-consuming and requires significant amounts of material and a well-trained operator.Recommendations for Shear CellThe many existing shear cell configurations and test methods provide a wealth of data and can be used v ery effectively to characterize powder flow. They are also helpful in the design of equipment such as hoppers and bins. Because of thediv ersity of av ailable equipment and experimental procedures, no specific recommendations regarding methodology are presented in this chapter. It is recommended that the results of powder flow characterization using shear cell methodology include a complete description of equipment and methodology used.* Carr, R.L.

《资金管理特别报道》范·K·萨普1模型八:投资组合热度限制你的持仓组合的总风险暴露水平也是非常重要的。
这个值被Ed Seykota和Dave Druz称为投资组合热度。
大多数伟大的交易者会坚决主张20-25%就是你的投资组合热度的最大值。
不过,投资组合热度也应该基于你使用的系统有多么好。
比如说,一个有着60%胜率并且平均每次获利是平均每次损失四倍的系统,要比一个50%胜率,2-1得失比的系统好太多了。
对于确定投资组合热度,成功的经验之谈是计算你的系统的凯利比率(后面有介绍)。
凯利规则对你的系统的最大风险暴露给出一个很好的近似值。
用这个值的80%作为你的投资组合风险水平可能是比较好的。
但如果你的系统的凯利比率近似值的80%还是超过了25%,那你是在和危险调情。
一旦你的意识里对投资组合热度有了一个确定的数字,返回去重新考虑每一个头寸的独立风险。
你在一般情况下愿意持有多少个头寸?用最大可能的头寸数除你刚刚用凯利规则算出来的投资组合热度值。
对你假设的理论上的单个头寸的最大风险,这是一个很好的估计。
然而这些指导也基于这样一个前提,你要最大化收益。
投资组合热度是一枚硬币,这个硬币的一面是风险,另一面是收益。
你可以结合前五个模型中的任意一个,或者混合它们中的几个作为你的模型。
注意随着更多模型的增加,头寸规模确定正在逐渐变得复杂和精密。
模型九:多头和空头头寸很多著名的交易者,是从分组风险控制和投资组合热度的角度去考虑,划分多空头寸的。
他们认为多空头寸在某种程度上能彼此抵消,所以一个多头头寸和一个空头头寸——它们的大小,由你所使用的资金管理模型,控制在你中意的市场水平上——应该匹配在一起,被视为一个单元。
换句话说,一个1%风险的玉米多头应该和一个1%风险的债券空头分为一组作为1%风险的单元。
这给原来的头寸规模确定模型又撮合了新的有意思的内容。
当然,匹配不同的多空头寸,只可以使用那些能够平衡风险暴露的模型。

sales, new loans, interest received etc. and then analyzing in detail the timing of expected payments relating to suppliers, wages, other expenses, capital expenditure, loan repayments, dividends, tax, interest payments etc. The difference between the cash in- and out-flows within a given period indicates the net cash flow. When this net cash flow is added to or subtracted from opening bank balances, any likely short-term bank funding requirements can be ascertained.
2. Cash Flow vs. Profit
Sales and costs and, therefore, profits do not necessarily coincide with their
associated cash inflows and outflows. While, a sale may have been secured and goods delivered, the related payment may be deferred as a result of giving credit to the customer. At the same time, payments must be made to suppliers, staff etc., cash must be invested in rebuilding depleted stocks, new equipment may have to be purchased etc. For further information on the cash cycle and working capital, click here. The net result is that cash receipts often lag cash payments and, whilst profits may be reported, the business may experience a short-term cash shortfall. For this reason it is essential to forecast cash flows as well as project likely profits.
4. Planning to Project Cash flow
Before using a model for short-term cash flow forecasting, a manager or
entrepreneur should: Decide the central purpose of the exercise (internal planning and control, negotiate a loan etc.). Identify the target audience (directors, bank manager etc.) Set the time intervals and horizon (e.g. monthly for twelve months) Sort out the level of detail required. Check that all the necessary key assumptions and data are to hand and have been adequately researched. Compile opening balances for all items which will involve cash flows within the forecasting period. Think through the likely impact of the critical assumptions on the cash flow projections. If necessary, prepare preliminary forecasts manually to confirm their overall direction and consider the underlying strategic issues relating to sales, funding, costs, stocks etc. As a guide, sales forecasts and debtor & creditor terms are likely to have the most profound impacts on short-term cash flows.
The Profitability Budget assesses the overall profitability of a proposed enterprise and therefore what level of costs can be incurred The Monthly Cash flow forecast attempts to predict the effect on the firm bank balance over the year
3. ing Cash flow
Normally, the main sources of cash inflows to a business are receipts from sales, increases in
bank loans, proceeds of share issues and asset disposals, and other income such as interest earned. Cash outflows include payments to suppliers and staff, capital and interest repayments for loans, dividends, taxation and capital expenditure.
Net cash flow is the difference between the inflows and outflows within a given period. A
projected cumulative positive net cash flow over several periods highlights the capacity of a business to generate surplus cash and, conversely, a cumulative negative cash flow indicates the amount of additional cash required to sustain the business.
1. Importance of Cash Flow
When planning the short- or long-term funding
requirements of a business, it is more important to forecast the likely cash requirements than to project profitability etc. Whilst profit, the difference between sales and costs within a specified period, is a vital indicator of the performance of a business, the generation of a profit does not necessarily guarantee its development, or even the survival. Bear in mind that more businesses fail for lack of cash flow than for want of profit.
Why Manage Cash flow ?
In any business the availability of cash when required is
critical Businesses fail because they run out of available cash, not necessarily because of profitability problems Must know at all points in time:How much cash does the company have available What is the level of unpaid bills and when are they due What cash is the company owed and when will it be received
The following simplified example illustrates the timing differences between profits and cash flows
This shows that the cash associated with the reported profit for Month 1 will not fully materialize until Month 3 and that a serious cash short- fall will be experienced during Month 1 when receipts from sales will total only $20,000 as compared with cash payments to suppliers of $40,000.
