Migration age profiles for local authority areas in England, 1971-1981

"This paper is a report on continuing research on the application of age profiles in migration analysis. In particular, it is an update of previous work published in this journal with an analysis of 1981 Census data for local authority areas in England. The changes in migration patterns over the intercensal period from 1971 to 1981 are described." The focus is on internal migration     

STRUCTURAL DETERMINATION OF TITANIUM-OXIDE NANOPARTICLES BY X-RAY ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY

As a potential application of titanium-oxide nanoparticles, it is extremely important to investigate a detailed picture of the surface and interior structural properties of nanocrystalline materials, such as rutile and anatase with diameters 7.0 and 4.5nm, respectively. X-ray absorption spectroscopy has been used to identify the local Ti environment and related electronic structure. We combine the experimental results at the Ti edge in both bulk and nano-crystals to determine the lattice distortion in terms of differently characteristic preedge features and the variation in the multiple-scattering region of X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectra. The relationship between the transition peaks and the surface-to volume ratio is also discussed.     

Desiderata for Languages to be Used in the Defnition of Reference Business Processes

In many modern enterprises, explicit business process de nitions facilitate the pursuit of business goals in such ways as best practice reuse, process analysis, processe ciency improvement, and automation. Most real-world business processes are large and complex. Successfully capturing, analysing, and automating these processes requires process de nition languages that capture a variety of process aspects with a wealth of details. Mostcurrent process modelling languages, such as Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN),focus on structural control ows among activities while providing inadequate support for other process de nition needs. In this paper, we rst illustrate these inadequacies through our experiences with a collection of real-world reference business processes from the Aus-tralian lending industry. We observe that the most signi cant inadequacies include lack of resource management, exception handling, process variation, and data ow integration.These identi ed shortcomings led us to consider the Little-JIL language as a vehicle forde ning business processes. Little-JIL addresses the afore-mentioned inadequacies with a number of innovative features. Our investigation concludes that these innovative features are e ective in addressing a number of key reference business process de nition needs.     

STUDY ON THE TENSILE FATIGUE DAMAGE OF QUASI—ISOTROPIC COMPOSITE LAMINATES

Quasi-isotropic. laminates have isotropic elastic properties in all in-plane directions. Therefore, this kind of laminate is widely used for structural elements. The simplest stacking sequence of quasi-isotropic laminates is [0/-60/60]s. When the direction of applied axial load to [0/-60/60]s laminate is inclined at a 30-degree angle, we have the other quasi-isotropic laminate [30/-30/90]s under axial load. The failure mechanisms of these two laminates are, however, entirely different from each other because these two laminates have different distribution of the interlaminar stresses. It was confirmed by tensile fatigue tests that the [0/-60/60]s laminate does not show any visible fatigue damage, but the [30/-30/90]s laminate develops edge-delamination during cyclic loading. The analytical results were in good agreement with the experimental results.     

铝土矿的物理化学和矿物学性质（2）

设计任何适宜的采矿方法或加工工艺,都要求对所研究矿石的矿物及化学成份和矿石的物理性质两方面具有渊博的知识。铝土矿在地球上沉积岩中的总量不足0.001％。这表明、铝土矿并不属于最常见的     

Ti9Al合金的氢塑性效应

采用真空自耗电弧炉熔炼制备Ti9Al合金，通过渗氢处理显著提高氢含量，在凸轮塑性试验机ЧПИ-2上以10mm／min的速度进行热模拟试验。研究发现：氢可以降低Ti9Al合金的相变温度，扩大α β区的温度范围；氢作为卢稳定剂会妨碍或完全抑制以Ti3Al为基的α2相的析出；钛合金的氢合金化可促使卢相在更低温度下稳定化，明显地提高了Ti9Al合金塑性。

对热作和冷作模具钢(AISIH13和D3)的表面进行了局部合金化处理的试验。在试样表面用等离子喷镀钼钢、钒钢及硼钢粉末。由电子束按照不同的参数熔化喷镀层及基体。测定了局部熔化层中的合金元素的分布、显微组织、相及硬度。也测量了局部合金化层的回火抗力。采用不同的熔化参数, 熔化层中合金元素的含量也不同。合金化层的特点在于硬度和回火抗力。建立了电子束局部合金化层的合金元素含量、显微组织、相及机械性能之间的关系。
