Evaluation of the salt leaching method for the production of ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber foams

The thermomechanical behavior of ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) foams produced with the salt leaching method has been investigated and compared with the behavior of EPDM foams obtained from conventional blowing agents. Moreover, the salt-leaching process has been optimized to minimize salt residues and the influence of different parameters (such as average particle size and particle size distribution) has been investigated. Scanning electron microscopy and density measurements highlighted that salt-leaching leads to the formation of open-cell porosity with cell dimensions of around 60 to 80 μm, while foams obtained with the two traditional foaming agents lead to closed-cell porosity. Compression set values indicate that the behavior of the foams produced with salt leaching are more similar to the unfoamed rubber, characterized by higher elasticity and low residual deformation. Two theoretical models were successfully applied to the compression curves (Mooney-Rivlin and Exponential-Logarithmic) and they highlighted the effect of foaming on the properties of EPDM rubber and in particular the higher chain extensibility obtained through the salt leaching foaming method.     

不同实验装置测定粉尘湿润剂的湿润效果相关性

采用滴液法、正向渗透法和反渗湿润法分别研究了3种阴离子型湿润剂对10种硫化矿粉尘的湿润效果,比较了不同实验装置研究湿润剂湿润粉尘的相关性.结果表明:温度约20℃时,使用上述3种实验方法对相同的试剂和粉尘做湿润实验没有相关性,许多情况下还出现完全相反的结果;而对于相同的实验装置,3种湿润剂都具有较好的相关性.由此可以看出,实验室研究湿润剂所采用的方法在原理上要与应用现场的特征相适应,否则就将适得其反.     

形核剂成分对高碳钢凝固过程的影响

高碳钢连铸坯存在的最大质量问题是中心缩松、中心偏析严重.解决这一问题的关键是扩大铸坯等轴晶区比例,细化晶粒.本文以Fe-C合金作为形核剂,研究了形核剂含碳量对高碳钢凝固过程的影响机理.研究结果表明,向钢液中加入形核剂可有效地扩大等轴晶区.对高碳钢,中碳铁合金形核剂既可扩大等轴晶区,又可细化晶粒;而低碳形核剂可以扩大等轴晶区,但细化晶粒效果差.为有效地发挥形核剂的作用,对不同钢种要合理地选择形核剂含碳量.

Toward Self‐Motivated,Cognitive, Continually Planning Agents

We present a flexible initial framework for defining self‐motivated, self‐aware agents in simulated worlds, planning continuously so as to maximize long‐term rewards. While such agents employ reasoned exploration of feasible sequences of actions and corresponding states, they also behave opportunistically and recover from failure, thanks to their continual plan updates and quest for rewards. Our framework allows for both specific and general (quantified) knowledge and for epistemic predicates such as knowing‐that and knowing‐whether. Because realistic agents have only partial knowledge of their world, the reasoning of the proposed agents uses a weakened closed‐world assumption; this has consequences for epistemic reasoning, in particular introspection. The planning operators allow for quantitative, gradual change and side effects such as the passage of time, changes in distances and rewards, and language production, using a uniform procedural attachment method. Question answering (involving introspection) and experimental runs are shown for our particular agent ME in a simple world, demonstrating the value of continual deliberate, reward‐driven planning. Though the primary merit of agents definable in our framework is that they combine all of the aforementioned features, they can also be configured as single or multiple goal‐seeking agents and as such perform comparably with some recent experimental agents.

Analysing legal status of electronic agents in contracting through interactive websites: comparative study of American,English and EU laws developing Iranian legal system

In the modern world, electronic communications play a significant role in national and international electronic transactions. This issue has forced all legal systems to face up to many emerging legal problems in the context of electronic communications, such as the legal status of electronic agents in contracting electronically. Regarding the legal validity of e-contracts made through interactive websites, the legal status of electronic agents which play an important role in this process is questionable to see whether they are akin to real agents in the physical world or they are only a mere tool of communication. The current article tries to analyse this question by criticising a number of theories and some others based on the technical nature of the Internet, the traditional legal rules and principles and the UNCITRAL regulations on e-commerce and also the statues of American, English and EU laws on e-commerce to develop Iranian legal system.     

Connectivity maintenance and distributed tracking for double‐integrator agents with bounded potential functions

In this paper, we develop a set of decentralized control laws with bounded potential functions. The basic control law is a combination of attractive, repulsive, and alignment forces, which can keep connectivity, avoid collision, synchronize all agents, and further track a constant moving leader. Furthermore, we investigate the distributed tracking problem with a varying‐velocity leader, where the acceleration of the leader can not be measured. Two cases are considered; the acceleration of the leader is bounded, and the acceleration function satisfies Lipschitz condition. In the first case, the relative velocities of neighbors are integrated and transmitted as a new variable to account for the uncertain time‐varying acceleration. In the second case, two distributed estimators are added for the leader's position and velocity. Finally, some simulations are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.

Protecting Business Secrets in an EDI/CALS Environment

ABSTRACT

Communicating with confidential data requires special attention in a mobile agents environment, especially when the other hosts must be prevented from eavesdropping on the communication. We propose a communication model for secured communication between the agents belonging to publishers and consumers data. Confidentiality is ensured using our on-the-fly encryption-decryption sequence using ElGamal system to directly convert the message or plaintext into one that is encrypted directly with the public key of consumer. The scheme ensures that the data possessed by the agents is secured at all times when it is executing at any untrusted host. Our minimal implementation of the model with Aglets agent platform gives the first faithful picture of the happenings in the model. Finally, we also explain how the homomorphic property of ElGamal scheme can be integrated with our model for a Web-based application such as voting involving multiple agents.
