CD++: a toolkit to develop DEVS models

The features of a toolkit for modeling and simulation based on the DEVS formalism are presented. The tool is built as a set of independent software pieces running on different platforms. Not only are the main characteristics of the environment presented, a focus on its use is also considered by inclusion of application examples for a variety of problems. Many models can be defined in an automated fashion, simplifying the construction of new models and easing their verification. The use of this formal approach has allowed the development of safe and cost‐effective simulations, significantly reducing development time. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

淹没水跃的数值模拟

本文通过求解时均N－S方程κ－ε紊流模型，数值模拟了淹没水跃由静止到最终稳定的全过程。采用隐式非正交同位网格有限体积法离散控制方程组，利用动网格技术跟踪自由表面，并由Orlanski开边界条件得到无反射的出口边界。文中给出了淹没水跃在不同时刻自由表面形状、内部流场结构和流速矢量的变化情况，并与试验资料进行了比较。结果表明，本文方法能够准确有效地描述淹没水跃这类复杂自由表面流动的紊动特性。     

含盐不均匀基底变形对盖层构造的影响

根据相似性原理，选择不同的相似材料模拟双侧挤压作用下含盐不均匀基底变形对盖层构造的影响。实验表明：（1）双侧挤压背景下，受硬泡沫和凡士林代表的不同性质的基底的影响，上覆细沙盖层中形成的构造样式不同；（2）尽管模型的基底结构左右两侧基本对称，但上覆盖层的变形样式并不完全对称；（3）变形后期，盐脊顶部上覆沙层出现明显的塌陷构造；（4）实验最终结果显示的整个背冲构造的形成是由两个分割开的次级构造逐步合并而成的。     

人工神经网络预测木头油田储层孔隙度渗透率

由于历史原因,木头小规模油田在开发过程中,评价油藏、储层的物性参数严重匮乏。随着开发阶段的不断变化,剩余油分布、注采关系分析和油藏地质建模、数值模拟等工作需要高精度的物性参数。本文提出了应用改进的人工神经网络BP模型对储层孔隙度、渗透率进行预测的方法,通过实际运用,和使用多元逐步回归法相比,预测的精度大幅度提高,渗透率相关系数可由0.8436提高到0.9961,相对误差2.19%,从而为深化储层认识提供了准确的孔隙度、渗透率参数。     

Physical Aging of Amorphous Fructose

ABSTRACT: Physical aging of amorphous anhydrous fructose at temperature 5 °C and at 22 °C was studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The dynamic glass transition temperature, T_g0 for unaged samples was 16 °C and 13.3 °C for heating rate of 10 °C/min and 1 °C/min, respectively. The fictive temperature, T_f0 for unaged samples calculated by Richardson and Savill method was 12 °C, which is close to the dynamic value obtained from the lower DSC heating rate. The fictive temperature T_f of the aged fructose glasses at temperatures both below and above the transition region was fitted well by a non-exponential decay function (Williams-Watts form). Aging above the transition region (22 °C) for 18 d increased both the dynamic glass transition temperature T_g and the fictive temperature T_f. However, aging below the transition region (5 °C) for 1 d increased the dynamic glass transition temperature T_g but decreased the fictive temperature T_f.     

Thermodynamic modeling of native point defects and dopants of GaN semiconductors

A thermodynamic modeling of GaN was carried out to describe the thermodynamic behavior of native defects, dopants, and carriers (free electrons and holes) in GaN semiconductors. The compound energy model (CEM) was used. An unintentionally doped GaN was taken as an example. Oxygen was introduced into the model as the unintentionally doped impurity, according to the practical experimental phenomena. The energies of component compounds in the model were defined based on the results of the ab initio calculations and adjusted to fit experimental data. The thermodynamic properties of the defects and the oxygen doped were calculated to show the facility of the model.

A Constraint-based Approach for Annotating Music Scores with Gestural Information

The physical gestures that operate music instruments are responsible for the qualities of the sound being produced in a performance. Gestural information is thereby crucial for a model of music performance, paired with a model of sound synthesis where this information is applied. The highly constrained nature of performers gestures makes this task suitable to be modeled via a constraint-based approach, coupled with a strategy aimed at maximizing the gestural comfort of performers. We illustrate the problem representation, the search strategy and a validation of the model against human performance.     

Neuroticism and depressive symptoms among spouse caregivers: Do health behaviors mediate this relationship?

This study examined the mediating role of health behaviors in the relationship between neuroticism and depressive symptoms among spouse caregivers. Path analysis was used to test a model of the caregiver stress process among 233 caregivers of people with dementia. Results indicate that neuroticism has a significant direct effect on depressive symptoms and also indirectly influences depressive symptoms through health behaviors and perceived stress. When individual health behaviors were examined in the path model, only physical activity served a significant mediating role. These findings suggest that neuroticism may lead to depressive symptoms among caregivers partly through declines in physical activity.

Object-oriented DBMS requirements

The requirements on an object-oriented DBMS for management of information in a large, complex enterprise are presented. These requirements aid in the achievement of an environment characterized by data sharing, open architectures, application and data portability, and assurance of data integrity. They were defined from the point of view of a user of the DBMS; therefore they describe the expected functionality of the DBMS and do not specify the method of implementation to achieve this functionality. They encompass requirements on the data model, query and data manipulation languages, the system architecure, interfaces to the system, change management, and transaction management.
