A motivational model of rural students' intentions to persist in, versus drop out of, high school.

Using self-determination theory, the authors tested a motivational model to explain the conditions under which rural students formulate their intentions to persist in, versus drop out of, high school. The model argues that motivational variables underlie students' intentions to drop out and that students' motivation can be either supported in the classroom by autonomy-supportive teachers or frustrated by controlling teachers. LISREL analyses of questionnaire data from 483 rural high school students showed that the provision of autonomy support within classrooms predicted students' self-determined motivation and perceived competence. These motivational resources, in turn, predicted students' intentions to persist, versus drop out, and they did so even after controlling for the effect of achievement.

基于TiNi合金的超弹性对其相关磨损机制的FEM研究

本文在重点考虑TiNi合金高弹性变形量的前提下，采用等向强化模型，对不锈钢和超弹TiNi合金在法向接触载荷作用下的六种模型进行了有限元(FEM)分析。结果表明：在相同载荷条件下，超弹TiNi合金产生的von Mises弹性应变要高于不锈钢，但其von Mises应力和塑性应变却恰恰相反，在同一载荷下该合金发生塑性变形的区域要小于不锈钢；此外，超弹TiNi合金发生塑性变形要比不锈钢困难，所需的临界载荷值随其最大弹性变形量(屈服点处的应变值)的增加而增加。最后，基于本文的有限元计算结果对超弹TiNi合金的蘑粒磨损和疲劳磨损机制进行了讨论。     

F-X域粘弹性波动方程保幅偏移

提出了一种利用粘弹性声波波动方程进行偏移的新方法。其基本思路是,修改成像条件,使修改后的成像方程中考虑振幅补偿,然后利用粘弹性、单程波动方程在F-X域对震源和接收点波场进行延拓,进而完成散射、透射等补偿。理论数据处理和实际地震资料处理表明,该方法理论基础可靠,处理效果明显,能较好地解决实际地质问题。     

Proactive resource allocation for asynchronous real-time distributed systems in the presence of processor failures

We present two proactive resource allocation algorithms, RBA^*-FT and OBA-FT, for fault-tolerant asynchronous real-time distributed systems. The algorithms consider an application model where task timeliness is specified by Jensen's benefit functions and the anticipated application workload during future time intervals is described by adaptation functions. In addition, we assume that reliability functions of processors are available a priori. Given these models, our objective is to maximize aggregate task benefit and minimize aggregate missed deadline ratio in the presence of processor failures. Since determining the optimal solution is computationally intractable, the algorithms heuristically compute sub-optimal resource allocations, but in polynomial time. Experimental results reveal that RBA^*-FT and OBA-FT outperform their non-fault-tolerant counterparts in the presence of processor failures. Furthermore, RBA^*-FT performs better than OBA-FT, although OBA-FT incurs better worst-case and amortized computational costs. Finally, we observe that both algorithms robustly withstand errors in the estimation of anticipated failures.     

The value of certification: an empirical assessment of the perceptions of end-users of local area networks

Abstract. Certification is one criterion that employers seek when hiring network professionals. Many employers assume a certified network professional is better able to manage networked resources than is a non-certified counterpart. Therefore, employers often offer a monetary premium to attract certified network professionals. By measuring end-user perceptions, the current study empirically assesses the popular industry assumption that certified network professionals are more adept managers of network resources than those individuals who are not certified network professionals. Analyses of a data derived from 299 end-users of 11 separate local area networks indicate no statistically significant difference exists between the capabilities of certified network professionals and non-certified network professionals.     

在线磨辊辊面粗糙度的实验研究

影响轧辊表面粗糙度的因素很多，为此对影响辊面粗糙度的因素进行了系统分析和实验研究，得出了轧辊和砂轮的速度、砂轮粒度、砂轮直径及磨削液等主要因素对轧辊表面粗糙度影响的一般规律。利用回归分析的方法建立了轧辊表面粗糙度的数学模型，并将计算值与实测值进行了比较，发现两者基本一致。此项研究为适时控制冷轧带钢在线磨辊辊面粗糙度提供了计算模型。

Question hard, answer simply: A comment on Storms et al. (2003).

It seems clear that, for whatever reasons, the dementia of the Alzheimer type patient group (as well as other patient groups) exhibits behavior that is different from the normal control group. G. Storms, T. Dirikx, J. Saerens, S. Verstraeten, and P. P. De Deyn (2003) rightfully argue that the observed behavior (similarity judgments) does not tell us the source (cause) of the differences between the 2 groups. Rather, the focus of the study should be placed more on finding the ways the 2 groups are different. They also point out various methodological problems in some of the previous attempts to characterize the nature of the differences. Further methodological issues in G. Storms et al.'s study are examined. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
