如何加强军用软件的质量管理

军用软件在武器装备系统中的地位已经越来越重要,但我国军用软件的质量管理起步较晚,因此很有必要研究如何加强军用软件的质量管理.本文在阐述软件生命周期的基础上,从开展军用软件研制单位的软件能力评价、加强软件配置管理和加强第三方独立测试三个方面探讨了如何加强军用软件的质量管理.     

Quality assurance

BACKGROUND: The treatment of pediatric empyemas remains controversial. While thoracentesis and tube thoracostomy appear adequate for relatively benign organisms, virulent bacteria cause thick fibrinous pleural peels entrapping the lung. Open thoracotomies have been effectively used for decortication but are painful. METHODS: We report the use of minimally invasive thoracoscopic decortication in 12 patients (mean age 5 years). All failed conventional management with persistent fever, increasing oxygen requirement, recurrent effusion, and pleural consolidation; 5- and 10-mm trocars were used and complete decortication was accomplished. RESULTS: Ten of 12 patients were afebrile by 72 h and discharged 4-12 days after surgery. Eleven of 12 patients had clear chest x-rays by 1 month. CONCLUSION: Thoracoscopic decortication is a safe and effective means of treating pediatric empyemas.     

Multilevel optimization applied to hull girder design using three panel forms

A multilevel design scheme for ship's hull girders (longitudinal members between two adjacent transverse frames) is presented in this paper. This design scheme handles, very conveniently, the complexity of using an optimization algorithm for such complex design problems having a large number of design variables, nonlinear constraints dealing with different failure modes and interactions among substructures, and nonlinear design objectives. The conventional multilevel design technique is modified by introducing an approach called constraint coordination to increase the probability of achieving the overall optimum very efficiently.The scheme is demonstrated by application to the structural design of hull girders with simple structural modelling to represent inland waterway ships on which there was a special emphasis in the original research project (Rahman 1991). Three possible panel (consisting of one stiffener and its attached plating) forms; tee stiffened, flat-bar stiffened and corrugated, are optimized to synthesize the hull girder in order to achieve the most efficient structure. The effect of price-structure (labour rate to material price ratio) on the design is also investigated.     

Cyclobutanones as markers for irradiated samples of Brie and Camembert cheese

The feasibility of applying a chemical method based on the formation of 2-alkylcyclobutanone to samples of irradiated soft cheese (Brie and Camembert) was investigated. Significant quantities of 2-dodecylcyclobutanone (DCB) and 2-tetradecylcyclobutanone (TCB) were detected in both types of irradiated cheese and are proposed as qualitative markers. Other members of the cyclobutanone family (decyl- and tetradecenyl-) are also thought to be present but could not be substantiated due to a lack of authentic standards. These compounds were absent from the unirradiated samples. Results also show a significant linear relationship between the irradiation dose (1 to 8 kGy) and the amount of DCB and TCB detected in the cheese.     

Activation of 5-HT2 receptors facilitates depolarization of neocortical neurons by N-methyl-D-aspartate

We prospectively studied 63 children with transient hyperglycemia to determine their risk of acquiring insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and to evaluate the predictive value of immunologic markers of prediabetes and of the intravenous glucose tolerance test. Children with transient hyperglycemia were identified by a prospective systematic review of the laboratory reports of a large children's hospital and an office-based pediatric practice and by referral from pediatricians. Transient hyperglycemia occurred in 0.46% of children seen in the children's hospital and in 0.013% of children attending a pediatric office practice. Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus developed within 18 months of identification in 32% of children in whom transient hyperglycemia was discovered in the absence of a serious illness, compared with 2.3% of children identified during a serious illness (relative risk, 13.9; 95% confidence interval, 1.56 to 123.5). Islet cell antibodies and competitive insulin autoantibodies each had a 100% positive predictive value for IDDM; the negative predictive value of islet cell antibodies and competitive insulin autoantibodies was 96% and 98%, respectively. The stimulated insulin release during an intravenous glucose tolerance test, adjusted for age, had the highest overall accuracy of prediction. All children less than 6 years of age with stimulated insulin release levels < 85 pmol/L (12 microU/ml) subsequently had IDDM, as did an 11-year-old child whose stimulated insulin release level was below the 1st percentile of 170 pmol/L (24 microU/ml). To date, no child whose stimulated insulin release level was above the 5th percentile has had IDDM. We conclude that when transient hyperglycemia occurs during a serious intercurrent illness, the risk of progression to IDDM is low. In contrast, one third of children in whom transient hyperglycemia is identified without a serious illness can be expected to have IDDM within 1 year. A combination of islet cell antibodies, competitive insulin autoantibodies, and stimulated insulin release levels during an intravenous glucose tolerance test can accurately distinguish children with prediabetes from those with presumed benign transient increases in plasma glucose concentrations.

Advanced adhesive restorations: the post-amalgam age

Due to patient demand for biocompatible, safe, and tooth-colored restorations, the use of amalgam as a restorative material has been declining. Currently, the profession of operative dentistry is in a state of transition from the amalgam age to the post-amalgam age. The learning objective of this article is to discuss the current state of the art of tooth-colored restoratives--amalgam substitutes and amalgam alternatives--used either as direct or laboratory fabricated restorations nationally and internationally. Adhesive dentistry is discussed in detail, with tooth preparation as the key element. The challenges facing the clinician during the transition period include clinician education, restorative concepts and teaching competence, costs, prevention, and maintenance.
