关于巴塞尔II:新巴塞尔资本协议的影响

托马斯·加赛德和杰尼斯·伯克

摘要:国际监管机构在2003年完成新资本协议,银行决定在2006年底执行这个协议。巴塞尔协议是对全球银行业改革的监管。在本文中,我们回顾新巴塞尔资本协议内容以及一些我们所期望对欧洲银行业发生的重要影响。正如在第一届巴塞尔协议修正案(Basel I)中,我们得出结论,新巴塞尔协议不仅对持有资本额的数量做了规定,还对银行业的战略格局进行展望。

关键词:银行,流动性,监管,风险管理

新巴塞尔资本协议的新规则

巴塞尔委员会虽然只是公布了三分之一,但这很可能是协商的最后新资本协议(Basel II)文件。这项建议如获通过,将会深刻地改变银行的偿付能力的方式,监管机构监管银行风险管理实施过程和银行必须对市场参与者公布的风险信息量,经过讨论会,巴塞尔委员会预计将在2003年底发布的新资本协议的最后草案。

目前的巴塞尔资本协议(Basel I)对达到加强国际金融体系的稳定的既定目标已经有了显著成效,通过在不同国家持续应用本协议的同时,增加了资本水平,创造了一个更公平的竞争领域。总的来说,目前的全球一级资本的平均水平从1993年的约6%升至8%,此外,巴塞尔资本协议已经应用于100多个国家,远远超过最初的预期。

尽管实现其最初目标的成效很明显,很显然,对于巴塞尔我有一些意想不到的不

良后果,这是因为目前决定的最低资本要求方式相对粗略。根据目前的做法,银行必须持有合格股东权益账面价值(一级和二级资本)的百分之八风险加权资产(RWAs)。在识别了潜在的有限信贷风险之后,大部分资产被完全加权。

对公司债券发行人或者经济合作与发展组织的银行和政府发行的高风险贷款的完全风险加权资产或零风险加权的资产而言,目前的协议条款缺乏足够的风险灵活性,这也意味着许多银行已经偏离了具有吸引力的价格定位。巴塞尔的另一个不良影响表现为监管机构在限制负债资产增长的同时,监管机构也在追逐更大的套利回报(例如,凭借364天的循环贷款和风险加权资产驱动的证券化计划)。

现行做法的再一个缺陷就是只考虑信贷风险和市场风险,却忽视操作风险。这也意味着,如咨询服务,资产管理,保管及吸收存款等现行的业务路线逐渐被认为是“毫无风险的”。

图1已经简明扼要的总结了关于新巴塞尔协议设法解决与它前身相关问题的途径,如图1所示。可以看出,新巴塞尔协议围绕三个涵盖最低资本充足率,监督审查和市场准则等核心问题。

核心1的规定是为了防范银行信贷风险在最低资本充足率(在巴塞尔协议的基础之上有了大幅度地修改和提高),市场风险(1997年巴塞尔修正案的基础,未作修改)和操作风险(新巴塞尔中的新增项目)上暴露的风险。

关于信贷风险,银行可以选择核心1中的三种途径作为参考:标准化的方法很大程度上依赖于外部评级和监管水平。另一种方法是以内部评级(IRB)作为基础的的方法,其允许银行使用内部模型来计算资本充足率。这两种方法在依赖于银行实际投资行为的程度上有着相对复杂的不同:简单的内部评级基本方法都众所周知,复杂的就是先进的内部评级方法,因此,不同于巴塞尔协议的做法,个别银行采取不同的最低资本充足率取决于其内部信贷风险管理能力的复杂性和各自借贷要求的风险特征,如图2中描述。

以上是三种识别操作风险的可行途径。两个常用的包括基本的和标准的方法,针对操作风险要求列举总收入(或者,特殊情况下的资产)的百分比。也是最复杂的、最先

进的衡量方法(AMA),它推动了操作风险量化的前沿,但其资本影响尚未确定。

新巴塞尔协议的核心2要求监管机构评估银行风险管理流程的合理性和维系较高偿付能力目标水平的资本地位。新巴塞尔协议中明确指出:期望银行能够继续持有通过核心1下计算的超过最低水平资本的部分。他的评价是要在对该机构进行彻底审查企业范围内的风险管理能力为基础,某种程度上,这种的内部风险测量工具已经被个别银行运用到日常业务中了。如果风险或资本管理流程被认为不令人满意,监管机构必须介入进行干预。

最后,核心3是为了培育增强个别传统市场纪律和历史不透明的银行风险和资本管理。通过要求加强披露的深度和广度,将首次从根本上打破银行财务报告,敏感风险参数和银行风险承担强制报告的形式。巴塞尔委员会也与国际会计标准(IAS)组织一道参与,以确保报告要求的一致性。因此,我们希望这些新的要求,将为未来全球金融服务机构的报告设定标准。

赢家和输家

建立更加灵活性的风险框架意味着资本充足率将改变贯穿业务,银行和地区等限制。反过来,这意味着巴塞尔II资本要求的条款下将有赢家和输家。为了确定赢家和输家,我们分析了新巴塞尔协议对组成信贷和操作风险的最低资本充足率各种因素的影响。我们的分析完善了由巴塞尔委员会公布了2003年5月最终定量影响研究(QIS3) 的结果。我们的分析结果和QIS3的区别关键在于,我们的目标是, 评估新巴塞尔协议的最终影响。而QIS3反映了目前的现状,举例来说,只有相对成熟的银行有能力使用内部评级方法来评估信贷资本充足率。

我们的估计表明,在内部评级方法的基础之上,银行业总体的最低资本充足率作为一个整体将大概不会变化。随标准化方法增加和随内部评级方法减少,符合新巴塞尔协议(和QIS3)提出维持现有总体资产水平的目标,并全面激励改进风险管理。

如图3所示,在欧洲,有效风险加权资产量随着产品类型的不同而不断变化(包含信贷和操作风险) 。

法人风险加权资产的变化严重依赖评级。毕竟尺度是公司违约风险(PD)的一个主导因素,非零售企业的风险加权资产增长的,反之,大型企业的持有总额将削减。最大的削减就是抵押贷款。正常情况下,其他零售产品也是“大赢家”,尽管这其中包括使资本充足率下的个人贷款和内部评级中所需的逐渐增加的信用卡,但这两者之间存在潜在的重大差异。目前大部分零加权的主权国家很大可能相应最大程度地增加最低所需资本。

同样的,西欧国家有效风险加权资产的不同主要基于他们在总体投资组合的分散性和风险参数方面的差异。在风险相对较低和银行零售贷款业务高度集中的北欧地区,内部评级中的风险加权资产可能会遭受的大幅的下降。假设对比意大利和德国目前的趋势,德国会出现更大的增幅。

图3 欧洲不同产品的风险加权资产期望值

总之,资本充足率的调整作为目前业务组合的功能。风险管理的形势和复杂性,以及内部评级中大部分银行的监管资本可能出现缩减,有些银行的这些资本则会增加。随之而来的事实就是当银行偏向内部评级时,更大比例的银行投资组合将被限定,有可能进一步推动了信用风险转换工具的使用,如信用衍生工具、资产证券化和二级债务资本市场的交易。

采用新巴塞尔协议对改善经营业绩有着显著的影响发展至今的银行业整体实现进化只有逐渐以节约为主的股东价值管理为导向。由于其广泛的影响,新巴塞尔协议这种应加快这一趋势。较之于渐渐推广的“最佳做法”,巴塞尔的要求将影响欧洲所有的银行(包括占相当比例的北美银行资产),促使“落后者”加快了速度。

另外,资本手段促进经济资本的实施和规避风险后的回报率的关键障碍往往就是

缺乏一个可靠的定量的内部评级体系。遵循新的内部评级方法,并在信贷业务的精细水平上兑现这些措施,它将提供所需的大部分参数。此外,对操作风险而言,新资本协议为其提供了归属于非信用经济资本或市场风险的密集行为的基础(虽然目前并不完善),如资产管理、处理和资产证券化。

随着新巴塞尔协议的指标在其业务体系尚未整合风险调整措施的银行中的实施,那些已经作出这种转变,并走在队伍前列的银行的经验将是一面镜子,可以预期的重要战略措施包括:

风险定价

总所周知,对信贷市场而言,风险定价是无效。虽然这部分是由于银行使用信用卡出售非信贷业务的首要损失,这也反映了许多银行无法准确地量化使其维持在足够精细的水平的信用风险。内部评级标准评价工具将为量化风险提供一个坚实的基础,并通过渗入更有效的风险定价机制,使之走的更远。

重新制定对企业和中小企业的投资组合的信用审核

内部评级标准的评价工具,也可以作为一种调整工具,在信贷审批过程中为限额设定,贷款服务和监测进程等风险资源提供最佳指南。通过利用新评价工具的信息内容,银行可以重新设计信贷成本流程,使他们达到“更快,更好,更省”的效果。

改进操作风险

巴塞尔协议提出的资本支出必将引导改进操作风险绩效,即使只存在着微妙的联系,重点在于操作风险识别、风险损失报告、风险监控和风险控制。

积极的投资组合管理

实施更好的风险和收益的措施将促进积极的投资组合管理,即投资组合经理需寻求优化的贷款,以确定资产负债表中风险收益组合的配置,哪些该保值,哪些该被抛售到二级市场。

顾客价值管理和关系经理绩效

使用内部评级标准的风险测量工具宜允许银行对个别客户和客户关系经理的经济附加价值进行评估,为优化客户分类和奖励客户关系经理创造价值的能力提供更好的机会。

新巴塞尔协议标准工具的潜在杠杆作用足以弥补大多数企业的平均合理花费。

最佳实务风险和资本管理是关键

新巴塞尔协议代表了风险和资本管理的新纪元,并在银行战略定位中发挥着日益核心的功能,因此,这是风险和资产负债管理中的一种进步,它的潜在成功也给后巴

塞尔世界释放了明确的信号。

实现最佳实务方法包括:

?遵循新巴塞尔协议,信贷风险将维持在接近于内部评级的先进水平,否则它毫不具有重要战略意义。

?加快建立信贷投资组合模型和(正在进行的)经济效率的风险转移措施的论证,并已被证实。

?实现趋向一体化的资本管理跨越:

优化资本总额和一级/ 二级资本市场的结合,包括监管机构、评级机构、债权人及股东关注的资本和资本成本。

对内部资本资源进行有效的经济配置。

加强风险评估和资本经营之间的组织联系。

建立为以价值导向的业务规划提供支持的资本预测。

?增加风险和资产负债结构的披露方面的透明度,同时积极主动地加强主要风险、资

本指标和外部客户战略方面的沟通。

随着市场调整适应新的披露机制和监管机构发挥的日益强大的作用,金融服务的竞争环境将会相应的转移,除了对银行内部的风险和资本管理水平有明显提升作用之外,还需对银行的业务模式进行重新评估,并且需要更清楚地对股东价值的交割目标进行沟通。

现在是不得不作出战略和战术决定的时候了,以应对新巴塞尔世界的到来。为银行业制定的新规则已经起草并准备实施,监管政策很大程度上的变化也将随之而来。

Dealing with Basel II: the impact of theNew Basel Capital Accord

ThomasGarsideandJensBech

Abstract International regulators are due to finalize the New Basel Capital Accord by the end of 2003,for implementation by banks at the end of 2006.BaselII is a response to the need for reform of the regulatory system governing the global banking industry.In this article,we review the New Basel Capital Accord and summarize some of the main implications that we expect it to have on the European banking industry.As was the case for the first Basel Accord(BaselI),we conclude that not only will the new accord have an impact on the amount of book capital that banks are required to hold,but also on the strategic landscape of the banking industry.

Keywords Banking,Liquidity,Regulation,Risk management

The new rules of the game

The Base Committee released a third,and likely to be final,consultative paper for a New Capital Accord(BaselII).The proposal,if adopted,will change profoundly the way banks assess the adequacy of solvency levels,the role of regulators in supervising the prudence of banks'risk management practices and the amount of risk information that banks must publish to market participants.Following a consultation period,the Basel Committee is expected to release a final draft of the New Capital Accord late in 2003.

The current Basel Capital Accord(BaselI) has had considerable success in reaching its stated aims of strengthening the stability of the international banking system,by increasing capital levels and creating a more level playing field through the consistent application of the accord in different countries.In aggregate,current global average levels of Tier 1 capital rose to 8 percent from approximately 6 percent in 1993.Moreover,BaselI is used in more than 100 countries,far more than was initially expected.

Despite this apparent success in achieving its primary goals,it is clear that Basel I has also had some unintended and undesirable effects,owing to the relatively crude way in which minimum capital requirements are currently determined.Under the current approach,banks must hold 8 percent of risk-weighted assets(RWAs) in eligible book equity (Tier 1 and Tier

2 capital).Most assets are fully-weighted,with very limited recognition of underlying credit risk.

The lack of risk-sensitivity of the current accord has meant that many banks have migrated away from attractively priced,fully RWAs to higher-risk lending or to zero RWAs,even if these assets are to low quality corporate issuers and OECD banks/governments.Another symptom of the undesirable effects of Basel I has been the increasing use of regulatory arbitrage aimed at growing returns while limiting regulatory balance sheet growth(e.g.via364-day revolving loans and RWA-driven securitizations).Another deficiency of the current approach is that it only considers credit and market risk,ignoring operational risk for example.This has meant that certain business lines such as advisory services,asset management,custody and deposit taking have come to be thought of as“risk-free”.

The way in which Basel II seeks to address many of the problems associated with its predecessor is briefly summarized in Figure 1.As can be seen,Basel II is built around three pillars covering minimum capital requirements,supervisory review and market discipline.

Pillar I specifies minimum capital requirements for banks'exposure to credit risk(substantially revised and enhanced from Basel I),market risk(unchanged from a 1997 Amendment to Basel I) and operational risk(new in Basel II).

For credit risk,banks can choose from three approaches under Pillar I:The standa rdized approach relies largely on external ratings and regulatory benchmarks.The other approaches are both internal ratings-based(IRB)approaches,that allow banks to use th eir internal models to calculate capital requirements.The two approaches differ in thei r relative sophistication and the degree to which a bank is allowed to rely on its act ual portfolio behavior:the simpler is known as the IRB foundation approach,the more complex as the IRB advanced approach.Consequently,unlike the Basel I approach,ind ividual banks will have different minimum capital requirements depending upon the s ophistication of their internal credit risk management capabilities and the risk characte ristics of their respective lending books,as described in Figure 2.

Figure 1 Framework of the Basel II Accord

Figure 2 The three approaches to credit risk under Pillar I

There are also three possible approaches for operational risk.The two simplest,the basic and standardized approaches,require a percentage of gross income(or,in special cases,assets)to be held against operational risks.The most sophisticated,the advanced measurement approach(AMA),pushes the frontier of operational risk quantification,and its capital implications have not yet been finalized.

Pillar II of Basel II requires regulators to assess the appropriateness of a bank's risk manage-ment processes and capital position to sustain a target level of solvency.Basel II is explicit in its expectation that banks will continue to hold capital in excess of the minimum levels derived through the Pillar I calculations.This assessment is to be based on a thorough review of the institution's firm-wide risk management capabilities and degree to which such internal risk measurement tools are used by individual banks inconducting day-to-day business.

Regulators are required to intervene if risk or capital management processes are deemed unsatisfactory.

Finally,Pillar III is intended to foster increased market discipline into the traditionally private and historically opaque world of bank risk and capital management.It will

fundamentally trans-form financial reporting for banks by demanding increased depth and breadth of disclosure including,for the first time,compulsory reporting of sensitive risk parameters and the risk profile of the banks'exposures.The Basel Committee has worked with the International Accounting Standard(IAS) Board to ensure consistency between overlapping reporting requirements.Hence,we expect these new requirements to set the standard for future reporting by financial service institutions globally.

Winners and losers

Moving to a more risk-sensitive framework means that capital requirements will change across business lines,banks and regions.This,in turn,means that there will be winners and losers in terms of capital requirement sunder Basel II.To identify the winners and the losers,we have analyzed Basel II's impact on the various factors that make up the minimum capital requirements for credit and operational risk[1].Our analysis complements the results of the final quantitative impact study(QIS3),which was published by the Basel Committee on 5 May 2003.The key difference between our results and QIS3 is that we aim to assess the ultimate impact of Basel II,whereas QIS3 refects the current status quo where,for example,only the relatively sophisticated banks are capable of estimating the credit capital requirements using the IRB approaches.

Our estimates indicate that total minimum capital requirements for the banking industry as a whole will be roughly unchanged under the IRB foundation approach,increase under the standardized approach and decrease under IRB advanced.This is consistent with Basel II's stated aim of maintaining current total capital levels (and with QIS3),and provides an overall incentive to improve risk management.

The effective RWAs(combining both credit and operational risk applied to different product types in Europe are likely to change by different amounts as shown in Figure3.

Changes in corporate RWAs are heavily ratings-dependent.Since size is a key driver of the probability of default(PD) for corporations,RWAs are likely to rise for non-retail SMEs,while aggregate capital held against large corporations will drop.The biggest reductions are in mortgages.Other retail products are also “large gainers” on average,though this includes potentially significant differences between personalloans,where capital requirements decrease,and credit cards,where increases may occur under the IRB approaches.Sovereigns,which are mostly zero-weighted at the moment,are likely to see the

biggest relative increases in minimum required capital.

Similarly the effective RWAs applied to Western European countries are likely to vary based on differences in their aggregate portfolio splits and risk parameters.The Nordic region,with a high concentration in retail lending and relatively low risk,will experience a substantial drop in overall RWAs under the IRB approaches.In cont rast Italy-and assuming current trends,Germany-are likely to see the biggest increases.

In summary,changes to regulatory capital requirements will be a function of existing business

mix,geography and sophistication of risk management and while most banks are likely to see a reduction in regulatory capital under IRB approaches,some banks will see these requirements increase.This,together with the fact that a far greater proportion of bank portfolios will be rated as banks migrate to IRB approaches,is likely to provide further impetus to the use of credit risk transfer methods such as credit derivatives,securitization and trading in the secondary debt capital markets.

Using Basel II to improve business performance

The banking industry overall has so far evolved only slowly toward economically-based shareholder value management.Basel II should accelerate this trend because of its widespread

impact.In contrast with the gradual diffus ion of“bestpractice”,the Basel requirements will

affect all banks in Europe(and a significant proportion of the banking assets held in North

America),speeding up the“slowest ship in the convoy”.

Moreover,the key stumbling block to effective implementation of economic capital and risk-

adjusted return on capital techniques has often been the lack of acredible quantitative-based

internal rating https://www.360docs.net/doc/1817539702.html,pliance with the new IRB approaches will provide most of the parameters needed to deliver these measures at a granular level in credit businesses.In addition,the new capital requirement for operational risk will provide a basis(albeit currently

imperfect) for attributing economic capital to non-credit or market-risk intensive activities,such as asset management,custody or securities processing.

As the new Basel II metrics are implemented in banks that have not yet integrated risk-adjusted measures into their business systems,their experience is likely to mirror that of leading banks which have already made this transition.Some of the key tactical improvements that can be expected include:

Pricing for risk:Credit markets are not oriously ineffective in pricing for risk.While this is partly due to banks using credit as a loss leader to sell non-credit services,it also reflects the inability of many banks to quantify credit risk accurately at a sufficiently granular level.IRB compliant rating tools will provide a strong basis for quantifying risk,and should go a long way toward instilling more effective risk-pricing discipline.

Credit process redesign for corporate and SME portfolios:IRB-compliant rating tools can also serve as an excellent guide for aligning resources with risk in credit approval,limit setting,loan servicing and monitoring processes.By leveraging the information content of the new rating tools,banks can redesign expensive credit processes,making

them“faster,better,and cheaper”.

Operational risk improvement:The new focus on operational risk identification,loss reporting,monitoring,and controls-even if only tenuously linked to Basel II's proposed capital charges-will inevitably lead to improved operational risk performance.

Active portfolio management:The implementation of better risk and profitability measures will facilitate active portfolio management whereby portfolio managers will seek to optimize the risk-return profile of the portfolio by determining which loans to hold on balance sheet,which to hedge,and which to sell off into the secondary market.

Customer value management and relationship manager performance:Theuse of IRB-compliant risk measurement tools should allow banks to assess the economic value added by individual customers and relationship managers,providing better opportunities for optimizing customer segmentation and rewarding relationship managers on thei ability to create value.

Leveraging the potential of Basel II compliant tools should more than compensate for the average compliance spent in most businesses.

Best practice risk and capital management is key

Basel II represents a new era for risk and capital management,with these function sbecoming increasingly central to a bank's strategic positioning.Hence,advances in risk and balance sheet management are a clear signal of potential success in the post-Basel world.

Best practices to look for include:

Basel II compliance at close-to IRB advanced level for credit risk,unless this is clearly not strategically important.

Proven capability in credit portfolio modeling and (where undertaken) demonstration of economic efficiency of risk-transfer initiatives.

Moves towards integrated capital management,spanning:

1. optimization of total capital and Tier 1/Tier 2 mix while accounting for regulator,rating agency,creditor and shareholder concerns and costs of capital;

2. efficient economic allocation of internal capital resources;

3. closer organizational link between risk measurement and capital management;and

4.capital forecasting supporting value-based business planning.

Increased transparency with respect to disclosures of risk and balance sheet structure,

and proactive communication of key risk and capital metrics and strategies to external constituencies

As markets adjust to new disclosures and regulators take on increasingly powerful roles,the

competitive environment in financial services will shift accordingly.Apart from the obvious

upgrading of the roles of risk and capital management within banks,business models will need to bere-evaluated and goals for the delivery of shareholder value will need to be more clearly communicated.

Now is the time to make the strategic and tactical decisions required to address the post-Basel II world.The forthcoming regulatory changes largely have been drafted and made ready for implementation-it is now up to the banking industry to respond to the new rules of the game.

An Analysis of Working Capital Management Results Across Industries Greg Filbeck. Schweser Study Program Thomas M. Krueger. University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Abstract Firms are able to reduce financing costs and/or increase the funds available for expansion by minimizing the amount of funds tied up in current assets. We provide insights into the performance of surveyed firms across key components of working capital management by using the CFO magazine’s annual Working Capital Management Survey. We discover that significant differences exist between industries in working capital measures across time. In addition. we discover that these measures for working capital change significantly within industries across time. Introduction The importance of efficient working capital management is indisputable. Working capital is the difference between resources in cash or readily convertible into cash (Current Assets) and organizational commitments for which cash will soon be required (Current Liabilities). The objective of working capital management is to maintain the optimum balance of each of the working capital components. Business viability relies on the ability to effectively manage receivables. inventory. and payables. Firms are able to reduce financing costs and/or increase the funds available for expansion by minimizing the amount of funds tied up in current assets. Much managerial effort is expended in bringing non-optimal levels of current assets and liabilities back toward optimal levels. An optimal level would be one in which a balance is achieved between risk and efficiency. A recent example of business attempting to maximize working capital management is the recurrent attention being given to the application of Six Sigma? methodology. Six Sigma? methodologies help companies measure and ensure quality in all areas of the enterprise. When used to identify and rectify discrepancies. inefficiencies and erroneous transactions in the financial supply chain. Six Sigma? reduces Days Sales Outstanding (DSO). accelerates the payment cycle. improves customer satisfaction and reduces the necessary amount and cost of working capital needs. There appear to be many success stories. including Jennifer Towne’s (2002) report of a 15 percent decrease in days that sales are outstanding. resulting in an increased cash flow of approximately $2 million at Thibodaux Regional Medical Center. Furthermore. bad debts declined from $3.4 million to $600.000. However. Waxer’s (2003) study of multiple firms employing Six Sigma? finds that it is really a “get rich slow” technique with a rate of return hovering in the 1.2 – 4.5 percent range. Even in a business using Six Sigma? methodology. an “optimal” level of working capital management needs to be identified. Even in a business using Six Sigma? methodology. an “optimal” level of working capital management needs to be identified. Industry factors may impact firm

PA VEMENT PROBLEMS CAUSED BY COLLAPSIBLE SUBGRADES By Sandra L. Houston,1 Associate Member, ASCE (Reviewed by the Highway Division) ABSTRACT: Problem subgrade materials consisting of collapsible soils are com- mon in arid environments, which have climatic conditions and depositional and weathering processes favorable to their formation. Included herein is a discussion of predictive techniques that use commonly available laboratory equipment and testing methods for obtaining reliable estimates of the volume change for these problem soils. A method for predicting relevant stresses and corresponding collapse strains for typical pavement subgrades is presented. Relatively simple methods of evaluating potential volume change, based on results of familiar laboratory tests, are used. INTRODUCTION When a soil is given free access to water, it may decrease in volume, increase in volume, or do nothing. A soil that increases in volume is called a swelling or expansive soil, and a soil that decreases in volume is called a collapsible soil. The amount of volume change that occurs depends on the soil type and structure, the initial soil density, the imposed stress state, and the degree and extent of wetting. Subgrade materials comprised of soils that change volume upon wetting have caused distress to highways since the be- ginning of the professional practice and have cost many millions of dollars in roadway repairs. The prediction of the volume changes that may occur in the field is the first step in making an economic decision for dealing with these problem subgrade materials. Each project will have different design considerations, economic con- straints, and risk factors that will have to be taken into account. However, with a reliable method for making volume change predictions, the best design relative to the subgrade soils becomes a matter of economic comparison, and a much more rational design approach may be made. For example, typical techniques for dealing with expansive clays include: (1) In situ treatments with substances such as lime, cement, or fly-ash; (2) seepage barriers and/ or drainage systems; or (3) a computing of the serviceability loss and a mod- ification of the design to "accept" the anticipated expansion. In order to make the most economical decision, the amount of volume change (especially non- uniform volume change) must be accurately estimated, and the degree of road roughness evaluated from these data. Similarly, alternative design techniques are available for any roadway problem. The emphasis here will be placed on presenting economical and simple methods for: (1) Determining whether the subgrade materials are collapsible; and (2) estimating the amount of volume change that is likely to occur in the 'Asst.

金融学专业外文翻译---对简便银行的简单见解

中文3696字 本科毕业论文外文翻译 出处:Infosys Strategic Vision 原文: Insights from Banking Simple By Ashok Vemuri Introduction “A simpler way of banking.We treat with you respect. No extraneous features. No hidden fees.” For the unini tiated, this is the mantra of BankSimple, a Brooklyn-based startup which has positioned itself as a consumer-friendly alternative to traditional banks. BankSimple pushes a message of user experience—sophisticated personal finance analytics, a single “do-it-all” card, superior customer service, and no overdraft fees.Though branchless and primarily online-based, BankSimple is also planning to provide some traditional customer service touches, including phone support and mail-in deposits. Interestingly, BankSimple will also likely not be a bank—at least not in the technical, FDIC sense of the word. Rather, BankSimple’s strategy is to be a front-end focused on the customer experience. The back-end core “bank” component will be FDIC-insured partner banks. Unfettered by years of IT investments and entrenched applications, BankSimple’s team has the freedom to build an innovative, user-friendly online interface, customer service program, and the associated mobile and social bells and whistles that more and more consumers are demanding. One way to look at it is as a wrapper insulating the consumer from the accounting, compliance, and technology challenges that many banks face. Like personal finance sites https://www.360docs.net/doc/1817539702.html, and Wesabe before it, BankSimple is looking to tap into a perceived gap between what major banks provide and what consumers want. A recent survey by ForeSee Results and Forbes found that consumers view online banking as more satisfying than banking done offline. Though good news for the industry as a whole, the survey also found that the five largest banks in the country scored the lowest in the study. Cheaper and more customer friendly, digital banking is the future—but many consumers are finding it is better done with credit unions, community banks, and (down-the-road) startups like BankSimple. As you read, significant investments are being made by banks to improve their online, mobile, and IVR customer-friendliness. Major banks are embracing these channels, and customer satisfaction will likely improve over time. Even so, startups like Bank- Simple should be viewed as a learning opportunity. Their ideas are disruptive and often highlight pain points that need to be addressed. BankSimple’s first two stated philosophies are a good place to start: “A simpler way of banking” and “We treat you with respect.”

浅谈建筑环境与暖通空调能耗 摘要:研究建筑环境,了解暖通空调负荷产生的原因及影响因素,可以更加合理地提出解决问题的方法。 关键词:建筑环境暖通空调能耗 浅谈建筑环境与暖通空调能耗 能源为经济的发展提供了动力,但是由于各种原因,能源的发展往往滞后于经济的发展。近几年,中国的国民生产总值的增长率维持在约10%,但是能源的增长率只有3%~4%。这样的形势要求我们必须节能。建筑能源消耗在社会总能耗中的比例较大,发达国家的建筑用能一般占到全国总能耗的30%~40%;中国采暖区的城镇人口虽然只占全国人口的13.6%,但是采暖用能却占全国总能耗的9.6%。建筑节能是建筑发展的基本趋势,也是当代建筑科学技术的一个新的生长点。现代建筑的必要组成部分暖通空调领域也已经收到这种趋势的影响,暖通空调系统中的节能正在引起暖通空调工作者的注意,并且针对不同的国家、地区的能源特点和不同建筑的采暖、通风、空调要求发展者相关的节能技术。研究建筑环境,了解暖通空调负荷产生的原因及影响因素,可以更加合理地提出解决问题的方法。 暖通空调能耗的组成 为了创造舒适的室内空调环境,必须消耗大量的能源。暖通空调能耗是建筑能耗中的大户,居统计在发达国家中暖通空调能耗占建筑能耗的65%,以建筑能耗占总能耗的356%计算,暖通空调能耗占总能耗的比例竟高达22.75%,由此可见建筑节能工作的重点应该是暖通空调的节能。从暖通空调的能耗组成可以看出:暖通空调系统的能耗主要决定于空调冷、热负荷的确定和空调系统的合理配置,空调系统的布置和空调设备的选择是以空调负荷为依据的。所以暖通空调节能的关键是空调外界负荷和内部负荷的确定,而暖通空调节能工作也应该从这个方面着手,合理布置建筑物的位置,正确选择外墙、门、窗、屋顶的形状及材料等,尽量减少空调负荷。 室内环境的影响 暖通空调的目标是为人们提供舒适的生活和生产室内热环境,主要包括:室内空气温度、空气湿度、气流速度以及人体与周围环境(包括四壁、地面、顶棚等)之间的辐射换热(简称环境热辐射)等。在一般的舒适性空调中,以能够使人体保持平衡而满足

管理原则 也许在那些关于管理者这门学科的书中有许多关于管理的定义。许多定义是相对扼要和简单化的。一位早期的学者将它定义为“清楚地知道你想让人们去做什么,然后看着他们以最好最廉价的方式去完成它”。管理实际上是一个非常复杂的过程——远远比那些定义让我们知道的要复杂得多。因此,我们要建立一种管理的定义,从而能更好地了解这过程的实质。 管理是在一定的环境条件下通过对人员技术和资金等资源的利用和协调去设立和完成某一个组织目标的过程。这个过程有若干个核心包括计划和决策,组织,人员,领导,管理和控制。所有从事于这些工作的负责人在更大或更小的程度上都依赖于他们所承担的特殊的责任。当谈论管理的定义时,我们不应该忽略管理的原则。 管理的最基本原则在文明诞生时就存在了。当人们第一次开始群居生活和首次提高他们的生活质量时它就存在了。2500年前,巴比伦国王尼布甲尼撒二世决定把他的沙漠王国变成绿洲去取悦他的妻子。在公元前6世纪,尼布甲尼撒二世耗尽了国家财政部的金钱,雇佣劳动者和技术人员利用有限的资源建造一个宫殿,建造了完善的管网系统,把当地河流的水输送到皇宫里。当工程完成后,他在平台上种植漂亮稀有的花草树木。巴比伦的空中花园改变了这座城市。 尼布甲尼撒二世制定了一个目标。他要把沙漠中的主要城市变成绿洲。他利用和协调人员,技术和金钱去完成这一目标。他从王室金库中获得的资金去雇佣民工和技师并从附近地区购买材料。他在这种只能提供原始水管装置,建筑技术以及只能从茫茫沙漠中取得有限的材料的环境下完成了目标。最终,每个人在这个工程商所付出的努力创造了世界七大奇观之一。 2500年前,人们完成某项巨大的任务所运用的管理过程与如今运用的基本原理相似,管理者在执行这个过程是将它分成了5个部分。 这篇文章的主旨在于表达有关管理过程的一些观点和如何将它运用到我们所面临的不同的情况中去。你们所要学习的管理原则是指指导管理者的宗旨,原则或者是组织规范。他们会提供一个行动框架,为了有效的使用他们,一个人必须培养和使用技能的决策。理智决策是识别某个问题或机会,找到可行的方法去处理它并选择最好的方法的过程。因此,决策是最重要的管理活动。管理者必须决定去实施管理的每个功能以及每种情况所需要采取的相应的原则。 在这一点上,我们对于管理必须有两点最基本的理解。首先,在特定的环境下运用各种资源设立完成目标。第二,为了确保组织的成功,组织者必须满足他的技术要求,行政要求和责任制度。尽管这听起来很简单,但这两个原则却经过了几个世纪的发展才形成的。之后将要提到的所有原则都是随着时间的推移从各种来源中汲取的。一些原则来源于各人的直觉,然而其他的则反映了组织中那些成功企业家,著名商业巨子或者是富有创新精神的工作者的经验。直到十九世纪,直觉和经验仍是管理原则的基本来源 尽管本能和直觉曾经是商业管理的基础,但现在创业者创立新的企业经常以他们的直觉进行管理。在十九世纪70年代至80年代的电脑产业中,对技术很精通,但对管理知之甚少的企业家成立了数以百计的硬件和软件公司,一些存活下来,更多的则不是。许多公司开始发展得好是得益于创

开挖工程支撑体系的发展 1.引言 几乎所有土木工程建设项目(如建筑物,道路,隧道,桥梁,污水处理厂,管道,下水道)都涉及泥土挖掘的一些工程量。往往由于由相邻的结构,特性线,或使用权空间的限制,必须要一个土地固定系统,以允许土壤被挖掘到所需的深度。历史上,许多挖掘支撑系统已经开发出来。其中,现在比较常见的几种方法是:板桩,钻孔桩墙,泥浆墙。 土地固定系统的选择是由技术性能要求和施工可行性(例如手段,方法)决定的,包括执行的可靠性,而成本考虑了这些之后,其他问题也得到解决。通常环境后果(用于处理废泥浆和钻井液如监管要求)也非常被关注(邱阳、1998)。 土地固定系统通常是建设项目的较大的一个组成部分。如果不能按时完成项目,将极大地影响总成本。通常首先建造支撑,在许多情况下,临时支撑系统是用于支持在挖掘以允许进行不断施工,直到永久系统被构造。临时系统可以被去除或留在原处。 打桩时,因撞击或振动它们可能会被赶入到位。在一般情况下,振动是最昂贵的方法,但只适合于松散颗粒材料,土壤中具有较高电阻(例如,通过鹅卵石)的不能使用。采用打入桩系统通常是中间的成本和适合于软沉积物(包括粘性和非粘性),只要该矿床是免费的鹅卵石或更大的岩石。 通常,垂直元素(例如桩)的前安装挖掘工程和水平元件(如内部支撑或绑回)被安装为挖掘工程的进行下去,从而限制了跨距长度,以便减少在垂直开发弯矩元素。在填充情况下,桩可先设置,从在斜坡的底部其嵌入悬挑起来,安装作为填充进步水平元素(如搭背或土钉)。如果滞后是用来保持垂直元素之间的土壤中,它被安装为挖掘工程的进行下去,或之前以填补位置。 吉尔- 马丁等人(2010)提供了一个数值计算程序,以获取圆形桩承受轴向载荷和统一标志(如悬臂桩)的单轴弯矩的最佳纵筋。他们开发的两种优化流程:用一个或两个直径为纵向钢筋。优化增强模式允许大量减少的设计要求钢筋的用量,这些减少纵向钢筋可达到50%相对传统的,均匀分布的加固方案。 加固桩集中纵向钢筋最佳的位置在受拉区。除了节约钢筋,所述非对称加强钢筋图案提高抗弯刚度,通过增加转动惯量的转化部分的时刻。这种增加的刚性可能会在一段时间内增加的变形与蠕变相关的费用。评估相对于传统的非对称加强桩的优点,对称,钢筋桩被服务的条件下全面测试来完成的,这种试验是为了验证结构的可行性和取得的变形的原位测量。 基于现场试验中,用于优化的加强图案的优点浇铸钻出孔(CIDH)在巴塞罗那的

外文文献翻译(译成中文2000字左右): As research laboratories become more automated,new problems are arising for laboratory managers.Rarely does a laboratory purchase all of its automation from a single equipment vendor. As a result,managers are forced to spend money training their users on numerous different software packages while purchasing support contracts for each. This suggests a problem of scalability. In the ideal world,managers could use the same software package to control systems of any size; from single instruments such as pipettors or readers to large robotic systems with up to hundreds of instruments. If such a software package existed, managers would only have to train users on one platform and would be able to source software support from a single vendor. If automation software is written to be scalable, it must also be flexible. Having a platform that can control systems of any size is far less valuable if the end user cannot control every device type they need to use. Similarly, if the software cannot connect to the customer’s Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) database,it is of limited usefulness. The ideal automation software platform must therefore have an open architecture to provide such connectivity. Two strong reasons to automate a laboratory are increased throughput and improved robustness. It does not make sense to purchase high-speed automation if the controlling software does not maximize throughput of the system. The ideal automation software, therefore, would make use of redundant devices in the system to increase throughput. For example, let us assume that a plate-reading step is the slowest task in a given method. It would make that if the system operator connected another identical reader into the system, the controller software should be able to use both readers, cutting the total throughput time of the reading step in half. While resource pooling provides a clear throughput advantage, it can also be used to make the system more robust. For example, if one of the two readers were to experience some sort of error, the controlling software should be smart enough to route all samples to the working reader without taking the entire system offline. Now that one embodiment of an ideal automation control platform has been described let us see how the use of C++ helps achieving this ideal possible. DISCUSSION C++: An Object-Oriented Language Developed in 1983 by BjarneStroustrup of Bell Labs,C++ helped propel the concept of object-oriented programming into the mainstream.The term ‘‘object-oriented programming language’’ is a familiar phrase that has been in use for decades. But what does it mean? And why is it relevant for automation software? Essentially, a language that is object-oriented provides three important programming mechanisms:
