手机会走向Linux吗?

近来,如果稍稍留意就会看到,Linux正日益迅速地被用作手机开发的平台,依托Linux进行手机应用的开发正方兴未艾。尽管现在已有不少国家把Linux作为开发重点,但中国却一直走在移动Linux应用开发的前沿。现在,整个亚洲和欧洲众多大公司已经确定要使Linux在手机市场占据一席之地。这将为中国主要的手机厂商带来更多重要商机。     

A new approach to the epsilon expansion of generalized hypergeometric functions

Assuming that the parameters of a generalized hypergeometric function depend linearly on a small variable ε$\epsilon$, the successive derivatives of the function with respect to that small variable are evaluated at ε=0$\epsilon =0$ to obtain the coefficients of the ε$\epsilon$-expansion of the function. The procedure, which is quite naive, benefits from simple explicit expressions of the derivatives, to any order, of the Pochhammer and reciprocal Pochhammer symbols with respect to their argument. The algorithm may be used algebraically, irrespective of the values of the parameters. It reproduces the exact results obtained by other authors in cases of especially simple parameters. Implemented numerically, the procedure improves considerably, for higher orders in ε$\epsilon$, the numerical expansions given by other methods.     

Examining the Effects of Conformal Terrain Features in Advanced Head‐Up Displays on Flight Performance and Pilot Situation Awareness

Synthetic vision systems (SVS) render terrain features for pilots through cockpit displays using a GPS database and three‐dimensional graphical models. Enhanced vision systems (EVS) present infrared imagery of terrain using a forward‐looking sensor in the nose of an aircraft. The ultimate goal of SVS and EVS technologies is to support pilots in achieving safety under low‐visibility and night conditions comparable to clear, day conditions. This study assessed pilot performance and situation awareness (SA) effects of SVS and EVS imagery in an advanced head‐up display (HUD) during a simulated landing approach under instrument meteorological conditions. Videos of the landing with various HUD configurations were presented to eight pilots with a superimposed tracking task. The independent variables included four HUD feature configurations (baseline [no terrain imagery], SVS, EVS, and a combination of SVS and EVS), two visibility conditions, and four legs of the flight. Results indicated that SVS increased overall SA but degraded flight path control performance because of visual confusion with other display features. EVS increased flight path control accuracy but decreased system (aircraft) awareness because of visual distractions. The combination of SVS and EVS generated offsetting effects. Display configurations did not affect pilot spatial awareness. Flight performance was not different among phases of the approach, but levels and types of pilot SA did vary from leg to leg. These results are applicable to development of adaptive HUD features to support pilot performance. They support the use of multidimensional measures of SA for insight on pilot information processing with advanced aviation displays. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

On the history of Ludwig von Bertalanffy’s “general systemology”, and on its relationship to cybernetics - Part II: Contexts and developments of the systemological hermeneutics instigated by von Bertalanffy

The history of “general system theory” is investigated in order to clarify its meanings, vocations, foundations and achievements. It is characterized as the project of a science of the systemic interpretation of the “real”, renamed here “general systemology”. The contexts and modes of its elaboration, publication and implementation are discussed. The paper mostly focuses on the works of its instigator: Ludwig von Bertalanffy. However, general systemology was a collective project: the main contributions of other “systemologists”, from the 1950s until the 1970s, are hence also considered. Its solidarity with the history of the Society for General Systems Research is notably discussed. A reconstruction of the systemological hermeneutics is undertaken on this basis. It finds out the potential systematic unity underlying the diversity of the contributions to this both scientific and philosophical project. Light is thus shed on the actual scope of von Bertalanffy’s works.     

Simulation in decision making—a case study

An example of how simulation is used in analyzing a material handling system is presented. The Monte Carlo simulation of the Olinkraft plant not only provides the information on the effect of expansion on existing conveyer facilities, but also suggests the ways to improve the existing mode of operation. Validity of simulation is obtained by following the visual displays of the workings of different parts of the system within the simulation.     

Shared-Memory Parallel Vector Implementation of the Immersed Boundary Method for the Computation of Blood Flow in the Beating Mammalian Heart

This paper describes the parallel implementation of the immersed boundary method on a shared-memory machine such as the Cray C-90 computer. In this implementation, outer loops are parallelized and inner loops are vectorized. The sustained computation rates achieved are 0.258 Gflops with a single processor, 1.89 Gflops with 8 processors, and 2.50 Gflops with 16 processors. An application to the computer simulation of blood flow in the heart is presented.     

An Efficient Algorithm for Minimizing Real-Time Transition Systems

We address the problem of performing simultaneously reachability analysis and minimization of real-time transition systems represented by timed automata, i.e., automata extended with a finite set of clock variables. The transitions of the automaton may depend on the values of the clocks and may reset some of the clocks. An efficient algorithm is presented for minimizing a system with respect to a given initial partition that respects the enabling conditions of the transitions of the timed automaton. Our algorithm generates the portion of the minimized system that is reachable from a given initial configuration in time polynomial in the input and the size of the minimal reachable system.
