Knowing how records on a particular topic are distributed over databases is useful for both practical and theoretical reasons;
however little work in this area appears to have been done. This paper examines the distribution of records on the topic of
“Fuzzy Set Theory” in over 100 bibliographic databases and determines whether the distribution of records over databases is
similar to the traditional Bradford hyperbolic distribution of records over journals. Different methods for counting duplicate
records between and within databases have been developed. A comparison of the various distributions based on these counting
methods is presented; and the distributions are compared to results of earlier studies. The results also give an indication
of the number of databases necessary to search for coverage of a literature to specified percentages using the different counting
techniques developed in this study. 相似文献

The analytical solutions to the bond problem for monotonically increasing loads are developed for a monomial exponential local
bond stress-slip relationship (law) – “exact solution” –, a linear local law – “proposed solution” – and a constant bond stress
distribution, such as that recommended by the Eurocode. The three solutions are thoroughly developed for the pull-out of a
bar embedded in a cylindrical element, with longitudinal concrete in tension. For short anchorages, which undergo a rigid
motion and whose “exact solution” requires a complex iterative procedure, the “proposed solution” explicitly provides very
accurate bond stress distributions. On the basis of this accuracy, an approximate expression for the slip distribution is
derived. The proposed approximate solution is the first one providing a direct slip expression for short anchorages. Approximate
explicit expressions for the maximum bond stress and the maximum slip are also given. The comparison between the maximum slip
values measured during experimental tests and the corresponding values obtained from the proposed approximate expression demonstrates
the accuracy of the latter. 相似文献

This paper considers the problem of reporting a “posterior distribution” using a parametric family of distributions while
working in a nonparametric framework. This “posterior” is obtained as the solution to a decision problem and can be found
via a well-known optimization algorithm.

There are four options for introducing the uncertainty concept in Russia. Preference is given to the gradual replacement of
“error characteristic,” “total mean-square error,” and “confidence limits of error” by the terms “uncertainty,” “combined
standard uncertainty,” and “expanded uncertainty,” respectively. The incorrect and widespread perception that “uncertainty
in measurement” is an alternative for “error” is pointed out.

The association between an observable and a random parameter characterizes their joint distribution given the marginal distributions.
It has been shown to be incorporated in the (log-)odds ratio function. The association is inherent in each of the conditional
distributions and hence determines the learning process formalized in Bayes' theorem. The paper focuses on two applications.
Commonly used measures of dependence, especially Kullback-Leibler distances between densities of interest are identified and
interpreted as expected valuves of the log-odds ratio function. Frequently Bayesian inference is based on the maximization
of an expected utility. If the utility of a probability density is defined by the logarithmic score function, the expected
utility can often be decomposed approximately into a term of “fit” and a term of “model complexity”. The log-odds ratio parameterization
of probability densities reveals that “model complexity” again can be defined as an expected value of the log-odds ratio function,
i.e., as a measure of dependence between the observable and the random parameter. The ideas are illustrated throught with
examples from the class of conjugate exponential families. 相似文献

Au atom number in the Au agglomerates generated during the annealing of supersaturated high-temperature substitutional Au
in Si at 900 °C are measured by SIMS and their distributions have been investigated. The annealing time is chosen as 22.5,
90 or 360 h, which corresponds to initial, middle or near final stage of the annealing. Many “initial agglomerates” containing
about 2.0 × 105 Au atoms are generated and the distributions show an abrupt one with the peak at the atom number in the initial and middle
stages. The “initial agglomerates” have absorbed supersaturated Au atoms within 0.86 μm. The “initial agglomerates” are generated
even in the near final stage and grow up to containing about 4 × 106 Au atoms by absorbing the Au atoms within 2.3 μm, finally. As the consequence, many agglomerates contain 5 × 104–1.3 × 106 Au atoms resulting in a broad distribution at the near final stage. Schematic models of agglomerations corresponding to each
stage are proposed. 相似文献

Citations networks are a core topic of informetrics and science studies. This article proposes to bridge the cited and citing
side of citation transactions by using a disaggregated form, the “referencing-structure” function (RSF). The RSF may be also
seen as the “retrieval-structure” which, in a stylized co-citation or co-word model, gives the maximum retrieval that can
be expected from the bibliometric characteristics of the field (retrieval and recall features are key issues in co-citation
studies). The usual citation and reference distributions may be derived from aggregates or cuts respectively, of the RSF.
The RSF representation also generates new points of views on the citing-cited distributions, such as the "iso-retrieval function".
A rank version of RSF is also introduced. Part I is devoted to the definition and construction of the RSF, and to the general
interpretation of its various aspects in the context of co-citation studies. Generalization to other co-item (co-word, hyperlinks
“co-sitations”) studies is discussed briefly. We also introduce a general form a kindred to the Weibull distribution that
can be used to fit cuts of the function. The forthcoming Part II will detail empirical fits, using a few experimental files.

Recent research in the UK on the subject of turbulence modelling for aircraft assessment and certification has emphasised
the importance of considering ordered structures existing in apparently disordered air motions. A consequence of the existence
of such order within disorder is that probability distributions of velocity gradients and associated velocity increments are
often strongly non-Gaussian, even in so-called continuous turbulence. This non-Gaussian characteristic of turbulence (which
may be related to the phenomenon of “intermittency”) is a source of dissatisfaction with the widely-used power-spectral method
for modelling turbulence and is the main incentive for developing an alternative.
One approach to the problem has been the development of a statistical discretegust model of turbulence which takes a discrete
ramp gust as a basic element from which representative gust patterns may be built up and related to probability of occurrence.
On this basis an alternative approach to aircraft certification has been proposed in which the assessment of a particular
design (of aircraft, or gust-alleviation system) involves a systematic search over a specified family of equiprobable gust
patterns for a “worst case” which produces maximum aircraft response. Such an equiprobable family is a generalisation of the
traditional concept of a “design gust.” An important feature of the method is that the “worst case” response may be directly
related to the statistical characteristics of response when the input has a random character representative of real turbulence.
The technique is illustrated with particular reference to the assessment of autoland systems in severe wind shear and to limit-load
criteria (for which a vortex-tube model is proposed to augment the statistical family of discrete ramp gusts). 相似文献

The relationship between the concepts of “error” and “uncertainty” of measurement results is examined. The concepts of “standard
uncertainty,” “combined standard uncertainty,” and “expanded uncertainty” are shown to be inapplicable in nonmetric scales
of quantities and properties, in which the general concept of “uncertainty” in the broad sense is recommended.

The error in measuring electric power for “three-element” and “two-element” transformer circuits including the electric power
meter is analyzed. It is shown that, unlike a “ three-element” circuit, a “two-element” measurement circuit has somewhat larger
values of the measurement error.

The roles of “free” and “trapped” charges in single-crystal rubrene organic field-effect transistors
H. L. Kwok 《Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Electronics》2010,21(6):535-539
This work examined the roles of “free” and “trapped” charges in single-crystal rubrene organic field-effect transistors. Using
a 2-capacitor model, we determined the voltage drop across the insulator-semiconductor interface and the “free” and “trapped”
hole densities. Comparable values were obtained when either the gate voltage or the dielectric constant of the insulator was
varied. In our model, we assumed that the “free” holes and the “trapped” holes conducted current separately with the “trapped”
holes associated with negative charge states in the insulator. Our model predicted that the turn-on voltage increased negatively
when the dielectric constant of the insulator was small. 相似文献

We develop a mathematical model of microscopically inhomogencous but macroscopically isotropic materials with statistically
distributed components of tensors of stiffness and strength. In this model, the material is represented as the continuous
set of “characteristic” (i.e., typical of a given material) disjoint microscopic domains (microvolumes). The microinhomogeneous
material is identified with an “effectively homogeneous” material in such a way that, at the same points, the components of
the displacement vector determined for these materials are equal. It is assumed that, for each “characteristic” microvolume
the parameters of stiffness and strength of the material are constant and can be obtained as values of an arbitrary random
variable distributed according to the Weibull law and averaged over a certain random interval of any length. The components
of the tensor averaged as indicated above are also regarded as random variables distributed according to the normal law with
the same probability of hitting any arbitrarily located “characteristic” microvolume. The model is based on the assumption
that the material is isotropic both macroscopically and in any “characteristic” microvolume. The stress-strain state of the
microinhomogeneous material is described by the “effective” (averaged over its volume) components of the stress tensor. The
model takes into account cracks in the material if their length exceeds the size of the relevant “characteristic” volume.
The model is justified for the case of an infinite microinhomogeneous cracked plane under uniaxial tension. It is shown that
the parameters determining the stressed state of this plane are not independent in the vicinity of the crack tip. The relevant
constraints are given by equations of the model. The choice of these parameters which ignores the indicated constraints leads
to results contradicting well-known physical facts. By using the symmetry properties of the system under consideration and
physical reasoning, we obtain equations for the determination of the size of “characteristic” domains and physically reasonable
dependences of the maximal “effective” tensile stresses and their direction on the parameter of inhomogeneity of the material
and average volume of defects.

Corporate references to “sustainability” and the operative process of “green business” have become almost commonplace over
the past decade. Companies not only seek to comply with environmental regulations, but many have discovered that techniques
for reducing adverse environmental impact often have positive effects on corporate profitability as well. Such adoptions of
green business and engineering practices are morally neutral because the driving forces behind them are legal and economic,
but not ethical. In some instances, however, managers and engineers have undertaken green business initiatives with the notion
of doing something positive for future humans and for the natural environment. In this paper we discuss the “green” driving
forces behind moral decisions regarding the adoption of green engineering and business practices and conclude that most “green
engineering” known to the public is simply good business practice. Only when engineering and business begin the “green engineering”
program with the aim of reducing adverse impact on health or environment does “green engineering” become morally admirable. 相似文献

Since the term “co-link” was put forward, many scholars have done exploratory investigations to prove the applicability and
validity of co-link analysis used in mapping internet structure and mining relationships among internet colonies. All of these
studies are based on the whole links in the web called “total co-link analysis”. However, there are both substantive and non-substantive
links in the web, and the number of the latter outweights that of the former, which makes the preconditions of total co-link
analysis untenable. In this paper, we present “substantive co-link analysis”, and believe it is more sound and valid than
“total co-link analysis”. Then exploratory investigations on both total and substantive co-link analysis are carried out with
the sample of 20 academic blogs on Library and Information Science, the results of which testify our assumption that “substantive
co-link analysis” is more efficient and reasonable than “total co-link analysis”. 相似文献

In his book on “Documentation”, Bradford derived the law of scattering, based on algebric explanation with the supposition
that n1=n2=n. n1 and n2 are computed based on average no. of articles per journals in the first three zones. An analysis of a small sample of 12
data sets, using t-test suggests that it is unlikely that n1=n2. Further an attempt has been made to identify a suitable model to explain the law of scattering; among the various models
tried, log-normal fits much better than many models including the log-linear model. 相似文献

This paper describes the mechanisms of the mass transfer of “loose” corrosion deposits in the primary circuits of water-cooled
reactors. The revealed “peaks” of the amount of suspended corrosion particles in the reactor transients are reported are reported.
Two ways of using this effect are suggested: first, for monitoring the amount of suspended corrosion particles in the circuit
and the thickness of their deposits formed on the surfaces of the primary circuit equipment; second, for removing “loose”
deposits containing radionuclides from primary circuits, i.e., for “non-chemical decontamination technology.” 相似文献

The relative occurrence of the words “surprising” and “unexpected” in the titles of scientific papers was 11 times more common
in 2001–2005 than in 1900–1955. However, papers which had titles containing one of these words did not receive enhanced numbers
of citations. Both words (and also adjectives “unusual” and “unfortunately”) are used significantly more frequently in science
than in social sciences and humanities. The distribution of the statements of surprise is not random in scientific literature
(chemistry journals ranked highest in the number of papers claiming “surprising” or “unexpected” results) and may reflect
the level of maturity of a discipline. 相似文献

Problems of the behavior of gravitational waves in the approximation of “shallow water” — motion of a solitary wave over the
water surface, exit of a wave to the shore, passage of a solitary wave over a submerged rock — are solved. The solution of
the first problem showed that in modeling the motion of a solitary (soliton-type) wave the “shallow water” approximation breaks
down at a ratio of water depth to wavelength equal to 0.3. An analysis of the results of solution of the second problem indicates
that the “shallow water” approximation cannot be used for calculation of the height of a wave in its exit to the shore but
it can be used for estimation of the distance from the shore where the wave is turned over. It follows from the solution of
the third problem that the “shallow water” approximation is suited only for obtaining a qualitative picture of the distortion
of the profile of a wave in its motion over a rock. 相似文献

The authors utilize the index of theCatalogue of Scientific Papers of theRoyal Society of London dealing with the physics journal literature of the 19th century. Graphs of the publication activity of the entire 19th-century
physics and of a bout 50 of its most important subareas are displayed; both the number of active contributors in each area,
the number of papers and its share of publications of the entire 19th century physics are exhibited. Typical scientometric
regularities such as “Lotka’s law” (with regard to the number of papers and the number of areas treated by physicists) are
confirmed. In addition, the shares of the leading countries of important physical discoveries in the 19th century are studied. 相似文献
