Users’ Preferences for Smart Home Automation – Investigating Aspects of Privacy and Trust

Smart home automation provides residents with relief and convenience in everyday life and allows for self-determined aging in place. Yet, market penetration is offset by user concerns related to privacy and trust issues: With increasing system complexity, users may perceive a loss of control and fear technical unreliability. While barriers to acceptance in terms of privacy and trust are well understood when considered separately, they are hardly investigated in conjunction so far. We conducted a quantitative study using Adaptive Choice-Based Conjoint Analysis via an online questionnaire. We explored how aspects of privacy and trust determine the willingness to use smart homes from the perspective of (future) users (n = 137, 18 to 64 years of age), and also with respect to the level of automation and application field. Results show that semi-automated systems are rather preferred than fully automated smart home technology. The perceived reliability of automation is the most important acceptance determinant, followed by the location of data storage. Whereas the awareness to use (e.g., recommendations), the type of data, and application field are less important factors for the overall willingness to use smart homes. Findings inform scientists in the field of human-automation interaction and technical developers of smart home automation for technology innovation adapted to user needs.     

微型土压平衡盾构机液压系统故障分析

以微型土压平衡(Earth Pressure Balance,EPB)盾构机推进液压系统作为研究对象,介绍了推进系统的工作原理,对混入空气后的油液黏度和有效体积弹性模量进行分析,建立了推进系统数学模型,并对混入不同百分比空气的系统进行仿真运算,得到了液压缸位移响应和速度响应随系统含气量变化的关系。研究表明:随着液压系统空气含量的增加,液压缸位移响应发生迟滞,速度响应变慢,液压缸在运动时产生振动。结合各液压元件工作原理,依次对实际盾构机推进系统元件进行排气,最终排除了液压系统中混入的空气,为实现盾构机平稳推进提供了理论依据。

传统通信模拟系统设计较为复杂,导致模拟过程消耗能量较大,不能准确模拟稳频通信质量。因此,提出基于Matlab的量子激光雷达稳频通信模拟系统。由于振荡器是雷达形成初始信号源的基础,通过分析振荡电路与相位噪声,获得相位噪声函数与通信频率存在的关系;为确保通信过程的稳定,将准确性与稳定性作为信号质量的评价指标,并采用锁频环稳频技术计算频率偏移程度,根据PID控制算法控制频率,量子激光雷达稳频通信;利用Matlab确定激光器、探测器等硬件组成结构,通过时序与数字阵列的设置完成模拟系统设计。仿真结果表明所提系统结构简便、性能稳定,能够真实模拟出稳频通信的信号质量。     

An automated treatment planning strategy for highly noncoplanar radiotherapy arc trajectories

Radiation therapy is a technology-driven cancer treatment modality that has experienced significant advances over the last decades, due to multidisciplinary contributions that include engineering and computing. Recent technological developments allow the use of noncoplanar volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), one of the most recent photon treatment techniques, in clinical practice. In this work, an automated noncoplanar arc trajectory optimization framework designed in two modular phases is presented. First, a noncoplanar beam angle optimization algorithm is used to obtain a set of noncoplanar irradiation directions. Then, anchored in these directions, an optimization strategy is proposed to compute an optimal arc trajectory. The computational experiments considered a pool of twelve difficult head-and-neck tumor cases. It was possible to observe that, for some of these cases, the optimized noncoplanar arc trajectories led to significant treatment planning quality improvements, when compared with coplanar VMAT treatment plans. Although these experiments were done in a research environment treatment planning software (matRad), the conclusions can be of interest for a clinical setting: automated procedures can simplify the current treatment workflow, produce high-quality treatment plans, making better use of human resources and allowing for unbiased comparisons between different treatment techniques.

Ferroelectric domain structure and atomic-scale phase distribution in a Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3 single crystal

Lead-based relaxor ferroelectric crystals, such as Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃-PbTiO₃, are promising for functional applications due to their outstanding ferroelectric properties. Revealing ferroelectric domain structure and phase distribution at the nanoscale are important to understand the basic theory of ferroelectricity and promote their practical applications. In this study, the ferroelectric domain structure and atomic-scale phase distribution in a Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃ - 35 at.% PbTiO₃ single crystal in the region of morphotropic phase boundary are systematically investigated by a combination of optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy. It is found that 90° and 180° coarse domains are formed simultaneously in the ferroelectric single crystal. Moreover, there are tweed-like nano-domains formed inside each coarse single domain. Through careful investigations of distribution of stress and tetragonality, it is revealed that the tweed-like nano-domains are composed of nano-sized rhombohedral (R), monoclinic (M), and tetragonal (T) phases. The nano-scale T, M, R phases have the best, moderate, and lowest ferroelectricity, respectively.     

Influence of thermal runaway in styrene–acrylonitrile bulk copolymerization revealed by computational fluid dynamics modeling

The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and kinetic-based moment methods coupled approach is adopted to simulate the bulk copolymerization of styrene–acrylonitrile (SAN) in a stirred tank reactor. Numerical simulations are carried out to investigate the impacts of impeller speed, monomer ratio, initiator ratio, and initial reaction temperature on the copolymerization process and product properties. Particularly, the Chaos theory is selected as a criterion for evaluating the occurrence of the thermal runaway. The Flory's and Stockmayer's distributions are employed to calculate chain length distribution and copolymer composition distribution of copolymer. The simulation results highlight that the appearance of thermal runaway can be postponed by properly increasing the rotation speed, decreasing the initiator loadings, initial acrylonitrile contents and initial reactor temperature. Furthermore, significant differences exist in the product properties that predicted by the ideal and non-ideal models, which demonstrates that the temperature heterogeneity plays a crucial role in SAN copolymerization. This study could offer references for the safe operation and design of polymerization processes.
