AMSR-E卫星反演土壤湿度与ECWMF,NECP再分析土壤湿度比较分析

土壤湿度是气象学、气候学研究领域的重要环境因子和过程参数。AMSR-E可提供全球范围的较长时序的卫星反演土壤湿度产品,将ECWMF和NECP再分析资料与AMSR-E土壤湿度产品进行时空比较,在评价三者一致性的同时对AMSR-E土壤湿度进行检验,并进一步使用站点观测资料(土壤湿度、降水量)对中国区域的AMSR-E、ECWMF以及NECP土壤湿度进行检验。结果表明：全球及中国区域AMSR-E、ECWMF与NECP土壤湿度空间分布特征一致性较好,但与ECWMF、NCEP相比AMSR-E土壤湿度在数值上明显偏小,尤其当AMSR-E土壤湿度数值较小时,与另两者的差距较大;三者土壤湿度均与降水量有较好的对应关系,比较而言,ECWMF和NECP土壤湿度与降水量的对应关系更好;与站点土壤湿度相比,ECWMF和NECP土壤湿度偏大,AMSR-E土壤湿度偏小,全国范围内2009年159个站点统计结果显示:ECWMF、NECP与站点的均方根误差(0.107、0.124)小于AMSR-E的均方根误差(0.127)。     

How useful are strategic plans for information systems?

Although much research has been done in the area of strategic planning for information systems (IS), relatively less research has focused on the output of the IS planning process, namely, the IS plan. This paper examines the usefulness of IS plans through a field survey of 136 IS executives. Results indicate that IS plans are generally perceived to be useful for supporting business objectives, improving systems integration, exploiting information technology (IT) for competitive advantage, and prioritising IS development projects. Conversely, IS plans are perceived to be less useful for clarifying the role of IS, evaluating IS performance, anticipating surprises and crisis, and adapting to unanticipated situations. Implications of these results are discussed.     

Improved MCMAC with momentum, neighborhood, and averagedtrapezoidal output

An improved modified cerebellar articulation controller (MCMAC) neural control algorithm with better learning and recall processes using momentum, neighborhood learning, and averaged trapezoidal output, is proposed in this paper. The learning and recall processes of MCMAC are investigated using the characteristic surface of MCMAC and the control action exerted in controlling a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Extensive experimental results demonstrate a significant improvement with reduced training time and an extended range of trained MCMAC cells. The improvement in recall process using the averaged trapezoidal output (MCMAC-ATO) are contrasted against the original MCMAC using the square of the Pearson product moment correlation coefficient. Experimental results show that the new recall process has significantly reduced the fluctuations in the control action of the MCMAC and addressed partially the problem associated with the resolution of the MCMAC memory array.

Characteristics and usage patterns of older people in a 3D online multi-user virtual environment

3D online multi-user virtual environments (MUVEs) have a lot of potential in supporting older people in their daily lives, yet little research has been conducted to explore how older people engage with this type of technology. This paper aims to investigate the characteristics, user groups and activity patterns (particularly social networks and gift giving behaviour) of older users within a 3D online multi-user virtual environment. Data from approximately 5000 online user profiles of older and younger users from a 3D MUVE, namely IMVU, was collected for analysis. Overall, we identified several distinct patterns of use (e.g. size of social ties, level of reciprocity, etc.) among older users when compared with younger users. We also found that despite the capabilities of 3D MUVEs to provide the users immersion in alternative realities, a feature well embraced by younger users in this study, older users seemed more interested in activities which serve as an extension to their physical life.

The Feasibility of Immobilization of Bioflocculant-producing Bacteria Using Mycelial Pellets as Biomass Carriers

Bioflocculant-producing bacteria Agrobacterium tumefaciens F2 and Bacillus sphaeicus F6 were immobilized onto mycelial pellets to investigate the bioflocculant-producing potential of this combined organism and the corresponding flocculating efficiency. The atomic force microscope (AFM) images of mycelial surface indicate that the mycelia pellet can immobilize bioflocculant-producing bacteria F2 and F6 as a biomass carrier. The flocculating efficiency of bioflocculant produced by this combined organism was studied under the optimum flocculating conditions obtained by Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The fermentation yield of the combined mycelial pellet is about 2.6 g/L, which is higher than that of the free bacteria (only 2.2 g/L). Flocculating efficiency of the combined mycelial pellet was comparable with that of bioflocculant generated by the free bacteria. The bioflocculant yield is enhanced and the flocculating efficiency of the co-culture is uninfluenced after immobilized with mycelial pellet as a carrier. In conclusion, the mycelial pellet is feasible as a biomass carrier for the immobilization of bioflocculant-producing bacteria.
