Testing multi-characteristic product capability indices

Recently, studies associated with testing the quality and performance of each process for a product with multi-characteristics are proposed more often. However, most studies are limited to discussing one single type of quality characteristic. Practically, a multi-characteristic product is potentially composed of three types: smaller-the-better, larger-the-better, and nominal-the-best. In this paper, we propose an integrated product capability index which considers these three different types of quality characteristics. According to the theory of testing hypothesis, we develop a testing procedure for the product capability index to judge whether the process capabilities of total quality characteristics meet the customers’ demands. In addition, the relationship between the product capability index and the yield of the entire product will be introduced. Finally, an example is provided as a practical application.

Children's Physiological Indices of Empathy and Their Socioemotional Adjustment: Does Caregivers' Expressivity Matter?

Relations of heart rate and skin conductance reactions to mildly evocative empathy-inducing slides with socioemotional functioning were examined for 154 children (mean age = 9 years, 5 months). In addition, maternal expressivity was tested as a moderator of these relations. Parents and teachers rated children's socioemotional functioning, and a behavioral measure of children's regulation was obtained. Boys who exhibited higher skin conductance and higher heart rate to slides depicting negative emotions were better regulated, less emotionally intense, and better adjusted than their peers. Furthermore, boys' regulation and adjustment were positively related to such physiological responding to negative slides if maternal negative expressivity was relatively low or moderate, but not high. Fewer findings were obtained for girls or for positive slides. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)

A study of the static and dynamic properties of side-chain liquid crystalline polymers in low molar mass mesogens

The static and dynamic properties of solutions of a side chain polysiloxane liquid crystal polymer have been studied in a cyanobiphenyl nematic host as a function of concentration and temperature. Refractive index measurements were carried out on aligned samples and the data used to determine the macroscopic order parameter, S, using Haller's method. Photon correlation spectroscopy has been used to measure ($\text{k}{}_{22}\text{γ}{}_1$) for the pure nematic solvent and the solutions. From these measurements it appears that the static properties vary slowly and linearly with increasing polymer concentration whilst the dynamic or viscoelastic properties change markedly. This change has been attributed to γ₁, the twist viscosity, and the results have been discussed in terms of the function of the siloxane polymer backbone.     

Authority updating: An expert authority evaluation algorithm considering post‐evaluation and power indices in social networks

In group assessment, the focus is on finding high‐authority experts to improve the reliability of assessment results. In this study, we propose an authority updating algorithm while considering the power and judgement reliability of an expert on the basis of social networks and post‐evaluations. A network power index is established and used to reflect the power of an expert while considering social networks. The measurement of the judgement reliability of an expert considers the post‐evaluation of the objects selected by experts, thereby more scientifically reflecting the reliability of experts. The analysis shows the following: although the social‐network structure influences the authority of experts, the influence weakens when the assessment group is a highly or even fully connected group; the network effect may increase the authority of some experts and reduce that of others, and it will weaken as the network connectivity increases; moreover, the judgement reliability and authority of an expert while considering post‐evaluation can encourage him/her to make fair assessments and strive to reduce his/her motivation and cognitive biases.

城市河口填海特征及其生态影响的形态学研究

淤泥质河口是填海建港主要地区,体现出明显城市化形态特征,却未在城市形态学领域引发实质性研究,导致填海规划缺乏指导。本文选择20个研究对象,以适宜分辨率Goo对eEanh影像为数据源,利用形态绘制方法,依据基础形态指数稳定域,得出河口区适宜研究幅度和精度,并利用填海方式破碎度和潮间带特征指数分析河口形态与生态特征。结果显示,多数案例河口因填海使潮间带衰退严重;亚洲填海河口在以潮间带相关指数为生态评价要素的前提下,反映出较差形态稳定性和生态状况;同等填海规模下,单斑块填海比多斑块分散填海对潮间带侵占破坏更大。     

Global sliding‐mode control with generalized sliding dynamics

A global sliding‐mode control (GSMC) scheme is proposed to provide a framework for ensuring the existence of a sliding mode throughout an entire response. Based on this framework, robust eigenvalue‐assignment GSMC (REA‐GSMC) is proposed to robustly assign closed‐loop eigenvalues that must be real. The eigenvalues being all real, however, leads to sluggish responses. According to most error criteria such as IAE, ISE, and ITAE, the optimum system should have complex eigenvalues. This paper proposes a GSMC scheme with generalized sliding dynamics, referred to as Generalized GSMC, in order to release the previous constraint on the REA‐GSMC. Thus, the Generalized GSMC can be designed to achieve a system that is both robust and optimum in the sense that it minimizes certain error performance indices in spite of the presence of system uncertainties. Experiments were conducted on a two‐link direct‐drive manipulator to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
