Bounds for the solution of hyperbolic problems

This article describes a newly developed and implemented method for computing guaranteed errorbounds for the solution of hyperbolic initial value problems. The basic concepts—modified fixed point theorems and approximated operators—allow an a posteriori error-estimation automatically. Therefore, no a priori knowledge of Lipschitz constants, monotonicity properties or additional error analysis is necessary.     

钒钛渣对刚玉莫来石耐火材料的侵蚀研究

通过不同温度下钒钛渣对刚玉莫来石耐火材料的侵蚀实验，分析了炉渣、温度对材料的影响，认为致密结构、低气孔率是提高炉衬寿命的关键，板条状莫来石的存在利于减缓渣的侵蚀过程。     

改进的第三代相干算法及应用

在讨论相干技术发展及三代相干算法优缺点的基础上，介绍了改进的第三代相干算法。应用自行开发的相干软件对多个油气勘探和开发区块的三维地震资料进行处理、分析，对相干时窗长度、相关道数等参数对算法效果的影响及相干体对断层、异常地质体的识别，以及解释方法进行了探讨。应用实例证明，改进的第三代相干算法抗干扰能力强，横向分辨率高，不仅适用于倾斜地层，而且对断层尤其对小断层、异常地质体具有较高的检测能力，是油气勘探和开发的一项有效和实用的技术。     

胶南市村村通自来水工程运行管理的实践与思考

为保证农村群众饮水安全和自来水工程正常运行,通过对全市农村自来水工程运行管理现状进行详细调查分析,针对管理体制、管理组织、水费计收、安全管理等方面存在的问题,提出了在农村自来水工程运行管理工作中应采取的对策及具体措施。即协会化管理,并按照"补偿成本、合理收益、公平负担、节约用水"的原则,实行有偿供水,计量收费;加强水质监测工作,确保水质符合国家饮用水标准,确保群众饮水安全。

Law,liability and expert systems

This paper examines some of the possible legal implications of the production, marketing and use of expert systems. The relevance of a legally useful definition of expert systems, comprising systems designed for use both by laymen and professionals, is related to the distinctions inherent in the legal doctrine underlying provision of goods and provision of services. The liability of the sellers and users of, and contributors to, expert systems are examined in terms of professional malpractice as well as product liability. A recurring theme indicates that legislators may be inclined to restrict possibilities of liability suits in order to avoid disincentives to the creation of expert systems.     

Optimal characteristic polynomials for digital multistep pseudorandom numbers

The digital multistep method generates uniform pseudorandom numbers by transforming sequences of integers obtained by multistep recursions. The statistical independence properties of these pseudorandom numbers depend on the characteristic polynomial of the recursion. We describe a method of calculating characteristic polynomials that are optimal with respect to statistical independence of pairs of successive pseudorandom numbers. Tables of such optimal characteristic polynomials for degrees ≤64 are included.
