Authors: Xue Xiapiao , Li Wenxing 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
The project is the cell of an enterprise, and the engineering project management is the foundation of the construction enterprise management. Strengthening the management research of the construction enterprise can improve the ability of the enterprise project to succeed in the market. M&A is an inevitable requirement of socialized large-scale production, an important way for enterprise expansion and industrial structure upgrading. This paper examines the impact of engineering company management ability on long-term M&A performance of companies, which takes 2014-2016 China A-share construction industry and real estate industry listed companies as samples. The paper analyses the lagging effect of management ability and corporate M&A performance, and uses group regression to test the regulation effect of property rights on management ability and M&A performance. This study finds that management ability has a significant positive impact on long-term M&A performance, that is, the stronger ability the management has, the higher performance the a corporate mergers and acquisitions will show. Further research also indicates that under different property rights, there is no significant difference in the impact of management ability on long-term M&A performance. However, compared with non-state-owned enterprises, state-owned enterprises are more cautious about M&A, so their business performance is more stable.

Authors: Gao Guangfan , He Lixin , Wu Heping , Sun Liangliang 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
In a former paper by the authors (Guangfan Gao et al., 2017), an evaluation system for Chinese manufacturing enterprises of large piston compressors was established for the proper evaluation of production quality. In addition to the first three levels, the fourth level indices are needed, and therefore introduced in this paper. There are 35 and 47 items for the two branches of “Man” and “Soft power” respectively. In addition to the four levels, potential faults and accidents are also an integral part of compressor quality. Piston rod, for example, has its complexity of fault factors illustrated. We put forward two ways for malfunction factors to participate in evaluation. One is weight allocation of each element in all levels based on the multi-factor malfunction correlation matrix. The other is a general first-level correction of malfunctions based on product accident statistics.

Authors: Liu Jianghua , Chen Yalin , Liu Jiaojiao , Dong Ziqi , Zhu Yao 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
The electricity transmission-distribution is an important link of power system. Pricing transmission-distribution is the key part in the new round electricity market reform in China. The paper investigates the components of cost during transmission and distribution considering the different levels of voltage under government regulation, which forms original pricing model according to the reasonable profit pricing mode. Based on the above model, we apply System Dynamics to simulate the trend of the transmission-distribution price and capacity under the different scenarios classified by return on investment. The result of the simulation shows that the increasing ROI can raise the grid capacity investment, but it can’t motivate power grid companies to reduce costs and improve management efficiency.

Published: December 2019

Abstract
This paper studies the co-scheduling problem of the stackers and single rail guided vehicle system in automated storage and retrieval systems. We formulate the problem into a mixed integer linear programming model with the aim of minimizing the total retrieval time. In order to solve the problem, an improved genetic algorithm is proposed, and the properties of the optimal solution are applied to improve the offspring chromosomes. A lower bound of the total retrieval time is developed. The numerical experiment indicates that the proposed algorithm can solve the problem effectively. Compared with the solutions obtained by using first come first served, the total retrieval time obtained by the proposed algorithm is reduced by an average of 8.36%. The average deviation from the lower bound is 2.00%.
The cause of highly frequent commercial bribery during the invitation and submission of bids for engineering projects and the counteraction——the analysis based on WSR methodology
Authors: Yan Tiecheng , Lv Yuanfang 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Commercial bribery is found to occur very frequently during the invitation and submission of bids for engineering projects. However, existing research study on such topic lacks sufficient diversity in terms of the approach taken for analyzing the problem. In this study, we interpret the high occurrence of commercial bribery based on the “Wuli-Shili-Renli” (WSR) framework. Using this approach, the constraints from the social environment, the defects of the current system, and the lack of morality for the participants of the invitation and submission of bids can be well comprehended from the following three aspects: Wuli, Shili, and Renli. With these understandings, proper counteractive strategies can be proposed accordingly.

Published: December 2019

Abstract
As a new type of leadership style that can enhance team effectiveness, shared leadership has received a lot of attention from scholars. However, few studies have focused on its positive role in the engineering construction team. This paper explores the impact of shared leadership behavior on the performance of large-scale engineering projects and discusses the mediating role of employee participation. The research of the employees and their direct leaders in 41 project teams of the 12 construction companies shows that shared leadership behavior has a significant positive effect on project performance, employee participation plays a part mediating role in the relationship between shared leadership behavior and project performance. In a society where the knowledge economy and information technology are developing rapidly, combining shared leadership behavior with large-scale engineering construction projects will inevitably bring benefits to large-scale engineering construction projects.

Published: December 2019

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to prepare environmentally friendly and highly sustainable concrete for an ever-increasing demand of concrete in the construction industry. In the study both natural course and fine aggregates were partially replaced by recycled concrete aggregate from construction and demolition wastes. High performance alkali activated concrete was prepared by utilizing pozzolanic industrial wastes as a binder which fully replaced cement powder. High volume of fly ash with 30%, 40% and 50% replacement of slag was used as a main binder. NaOH and Na2Si03 with an alkali modulus of 0.6 were used as an alkali activator solution. The findings of this research revealed that alkali activated recycled aggregate concrete have competitive engineering properties with respect to cement concrete with natural aggregate. The UPV and thermal conductivity test results were found to be 4302 m/s and 1.425 W- m-l-K-1 respectively. The results of this study will pave the way towards the better practice of sustainable concrete construction by replacing the cement and natural aggregate in one concrete mix.

Authors: Suffri N , Jeludin M , Rahim S 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
The term soil reinforcement is conventional since decades ago for the stabilization of soft ground such as of clay and peat. Numerous research has arisen in the utilization of natural fibres as the reinforcement materials. Cost reduction, increment of sustainability awareness and eco-friendly environment are some of the advantages when using natural fibres to stabilize soft ground. A research study was carried out to evaluate the strength of the soft soil when unreinforced and reinforced using natural fibres. The findings on the experimental investigation of the study will be presented in this paper. Crushed coir fibres were used to reinforce an intermediate plasticity soft clay where both materials were collected locally in Brunei Darussalam. The crushed coir fibres were added at 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% and 2.0% to the dry weight of the sample. A series of an unconsolidated undrained Tri-axial test was conducted on the unreinforced and reinforced samples where the behaviour of the samples were observed and compared. The results indicated that inclusion of fibres affects the soil’s undrained shear strength. It was observed that increasing the percentage inclusion increases the undrained shear strength of the soil, up to a certain amount. Further increment of fibres, however, does not show further improvement in the undrained shear strength.

. It was found that poor performing areas in the large-grain sample are correlated with a Cu-deficient phase, whereas defects in the small-grain sample are not correlated with the distribution of Cu. In both samples, classes of recombination sites were identified, where defects were activated or annihilated by temperature. More generally, the methodology of combined operando and in situ x-ray microscopy was established at the physical limit of spatial resolution given by the device itself. As proof-of-principle, the measurement of nanoscopic current generation in a solar cell is demonstrated with applied bias voltage and bias light.
Cooperative driver pathway discovery via fusion of multi-relational data of genes, miRNAs and pathways
Authors: Wang Jun , Yang Ziying , Domeniconi Carlotta , Zhang Xiangliang , Yu Guoxian 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Discovering driver pathways is an essential step to uncover the molecular mechanism underlying cancer and to explore precise treatments for cancer patients. However, due to the difficulties of mapping genes to pathways and the limited knowledge about pathway interactions, most previous work focus on identifying individual pathways. In practice, two (or even more) pathways interplay and often cooperatively trigger cancer. In this study, we proposed a new approach called CDPathway to discover cooperative driver pathways. First, CDPathway introduces a driver impact quantification function to quantify the driver weight of each gene. CDPathway assumes that genes with larger weights contribute more to the occurrence of the target disease and identifies them as candidate driver genes. Next, it constructs a heterogeneous network composed of genes, miRNAs and pathways nodes based on the known intra(inter)-relations between them and assigns the quantified driver weights to gene–pathway and gene–miRNA relational edges. To transfer driver impacts of genes to pathway interaction pairs, CDPathway collaboratively factorizes the weighted adjacency matrices of the heterogeneous network to explore the latent relations between genes, miRNAs and pathways. After this, it reconstructs the pathway interaction network and identifies the pathway pairs with maximal interactive and driver weights as cooperative driver pathways. Experimental results on the breast, uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma and ovarian cancer data from The Cancer Genome Atlas show that CDPathway can effectively identify candidate driver genes [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of $\geq $0.9] and reconstruct the pathway interaction network (AUROC of&gt;0.9), and it uncovers much more known (potential) driver genes than other competitive methods. In addition, CDPathway identifies 150% more driver pathways and 60% more potential cooperative driver pathways than the competing methods. The code of CDPathway is available at http://mlda.swu.edu.cn/codes.php?name=CDPathway.
Formal axioms in biomedical ontologies improve analysis and interpretation of associated data
Authors: Smaili Fatima Zohra , Gao Xin , Hoehndorf Robert 
Published: December 2019

Abstract

Motivation
Over the past years, significant resources have been invested into formalizing biomedical ontologies. Formal axioms in ontologies have been developed and used to detect and ensure ontology consistency, find unsatisfiable classes, improve interoperability, guide ontology extension through the application of axiom-based design patterns and encode domain background knowledge. The domain knowledge of biomedical ontologies may have also the potential to provide background knowledge for machine learning and predictive modelling.

Results
We use ontology-based machine learning methods to evaluate the contribution of formal axioms and ontology meta-data to the prediction of protein–protein interactions and gene–disease associations. We find that the background knowledge provided by the Gene Ontology and other ontologies significantly improves the performance of ontology-based prediction models through provision of domain-specific background knowledge. Furthermore, we find that the labels, synonyms and definitions in ontologies can also provide background knowledge that may be exploited for prediction. The axioms and meta-data of different ontologies contribute to improving data analysis in a context-specific manner. Our results have implications on the further development of formal knowledge bases and ontologies in the life sciences, in particular as machine learning methods are more frequently being applied. Our findings motivate the need for further development, and the systematic, application-driven evaluation and improvement, of formal axioms in ontologies.
