Mathematically, skewed symmetry is a nonaccidental property because it can be interpreted as bilateral symmetry in depth viewed from a nonorthogonal angle. To find out whether this is a useful property in the perception of visual forms, 4 experiments were designed in which the Ss had to determine whether 2 symmetric or random patterns were the same regardless of possible affine transformations between them. The results provided mixed evidence: Although there was always a large symmetry advantage, skewed symmetry was only perceived as bilateral symmetry in depth for dot patterns with higher order types of symmetry (Exp 1), when the dots were connected to form closed polygons (Exp 2 and 4), or when they were surrounded by a frame to enhance their planarity (Exp 3). In other cases, Ss relied on local groupings on the basis of proximity or curvilinearity, which are qualitatively affine invariant. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) 相似文献
Boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes were studied with respect to the formation of inorganic by-products in water electrolysis. Experiments in non-divided cells were performed with systems containing sulphate, chloride, chlorite, chlorate and nitrate ions. Discontinuous experiments in thermostated cells with rotating disk diamond anodes and expanded mesh IrO2 cathodes were carried out at 20 °C. Current density was varied between 50 and 300 A m−2. Ion chromatography was mainly used for species detection.
It was not possible to demonstrate the decomposition of sulphate although a slight tendency seems to exist in some experiments. Hydrogen peroxide is one of the anodic and cathodic by-products. Active chlorine is detectable at higher chloride concentrations compared with the use of mixed oxide anodes (MIO). One reason for this is the reaction of formed chlorine with ozone or hydrogen peroxide. Chlorate can be formed electrolysing chloride, hypochlorite and chlorite solutions. Perchlorate formation was detected. Cathodic processes are responsible for the formation of nitrite ions and ammonia. If chlorine is present, the formation of monochloramine is one possible side reaction. Results show that the processes are very complex. Reaction spectra may vary from case to case. Perchlorate formation is a high risk in drinking water treatment. 相似文献
The residential therapeutic caring community (RTCC) for adolescents combines psychotherapeutic principles of the professional model and self-help concept of the therapeutic community by using the collective resources of members to mobilize peer pressure. The RTCC is a safe, structured, supportive treatment environment that employs a confrontation, teaching, interpretative, and reasoning approach and uses the psychotherapeutic principles of reality therapy and existential thought. In the RTCC, the staff serve as mentors and role models, and they demonstrate their concern by maintaining high expectations for immediate improved behavior. The personal qualities necessary for a psychotherapist working in an RTCC are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) 相似文献
Considering the critical contribution of your rectifier to the safe, effective, and reliable operation of your electrocoating process, the selection and maintenance of the optimum unit for your operation is time well spent. 相似文献
Using optimal control techniques we derive and demonstrate the use of an explicit single-step control method for directing a nonlinear system to a target orbit and keeping it there. We require that control values remain near the uncontrolled settings. The full nonlinearity of the problem in state space variables is retained. The “one-step” of the control is typically a composition of known or learned maps over (a) the time required to learn the state, (b) the time to compute the control and (c) the time to apply the control. No special targeting is required, yet the time to control is quite rapid. Working with the dynamics of a well-studied nonlinear electrical circuit, we show how this method works efficiently and accurately in two situations: when the known circuit equations are used, and when control is performed only on a Poincaré section of the reconstructed phase space. In each case, because the control rule is known analytically, the control strategy is computationally efficient while retaining high accuracy. The target locations on the selected target trajectory at each control stage are determined dynamically by the initial conditions and the system dynamics, and the target trajectory is an approximation to an unstable periodic orbit of the uncontrolled system. A linear stability analysis shows that dissipation in the dynamical system is essential for reaching a controllable state. 相似文献
The growth pattern of γ precipitates in the grains and at the grain boundaries has been investigated in a Ni-24Co-4Al-4Ti-5Cr-5Mo
(weight percent) alloy of very small lattice misfit between the precipitate and the matrix phases under varying heat-treatment
conditions. When aged at temperatures lower than the solvus temperature (Ts = 1150 °C) by more than 30 °C after direct cooling from the solution-treatment temperature, the nucleation density is high.
In this condition, the supersaturation is quickly removed because of the overlapping diffusion fields and the precipitates
undergo Ostwald ripening from the early stage. The precipitates then have an equilibrium shape of spheres in the grains and
truncated spheres at nearly straight grain boundaries. The precipitates at the grain boundaries are coherent with one of the
grains, and their number density is not much larger than that in the grains, apparently because of a large contact angle (about
150 deg) with the grain boundary. Quenching the alloy after the solution treatment and aging at any temperature also produce
high precipitate number density and equilibrium shapes. When aged at temperatures just belowTs (above 1140 °C), the nucleation density is low, the precipitates grow dendritically in the grains, and the grain boundaries
become serrated. The observed dendritic growth characteristics do not quantitatively agree with the predictions of Mullins
and Sekerka theory, but the discrepancy may be due to the uncertainties in both the observed and calculated quantities. By
deeply etching the matrix, it is shown that the grain boundary serration is produced by the precipitates growing preferentially
in the direction of the incoherent boundary because of the rapid solute diffusion along the grain boundary. The dendritic
growth and grain boundary serration can be obtained also by slowly cooling through the temperature range just belowTs. 相似文献
A scanning near-infrared reflectance spectrophotometer was calibrated for the prediction of barley aleurone colour and malt moisture. The malt moisture was predicted on malt ground for the determination of malt extract (coarse grind) making the method suitable for moisture correction in malt extract estimation. Calibrations for the prediction of malt extract and endosperm modification from barley and malt were also attempted. A correlation (r= 0.851 n = 135) was found between malt hot water extract and the percentage of the endosperm estimated as being modified by microscopy following staining with Calcofluor. Probably because of this influence of modification on malt extract, the use of near-infrared reflectance to predict malt extract was most successful at predicting the malt extract values obtained following micro-malting in the absence of the additives, gibberellic acid and potassium bromate. 相似文献
