An integral system‐ergonomic approach for IT‐based process management in complex work environments by example of manufacturing and health care

Recent trends in manufacturing and health care move these two work systems closer together from a system ergonomics point of view. Individual treatment of products, especially patients, by specialists in a distributed environment demand information technology (IT)‐based support suitable for complex systems. IT‐based support of processes in complex systems is difficult due to the lack of standard processes. IT support also means to rethink processes to use efficiency potentials. Close cooperation of users and software developers is needed to increase the ergonomic quality of the system. Therefore, suitable tools are needed: UML is available as the standard industry modeling language, Zope/Plone as the quasi‐standard for content management systems, SimPy as an object‐oriented simulation tool for event‐triggered processes, and ACT‐R as a powerful cognitive architecture for simulation of human information processes. The integration of these tools enables system‐ergonomic support of processes in the complex work system as well as of the development and deployment process. It is the base of an integral system‐ergonomic approach for IT‐based process management. Knowledge gained during process analysis either enters models or leads to the extension and adaptation of the tool chain. The models serve as basis for discussion among system ergonomists, programmers, and specialists from the work system. Further, they are understood by simulation and process support tools. Transcoding efforts between humans with different professional backgrounds and machines are reduced, and the flexibility demanded by complex systems is met. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Absolute calibration of photostimulable image plate detectors used as (0.5-20 MeV) high-energy proton detectors

In this paper, the absolute calibration of photostimulable image plates (IPs) used as proton detectors is presented. The calibration is performed in a wide range of proton energies (0.5-20 MeV) by exposing simultaneously the IP and calibrated detectors (radiochromic films and solid state detector CR39) to a source of broadband laser-accelerated protons, which are spectrally resolved. The final result is a calibration curve that enables retrieving the proton number from the IP signal.     

Comparative study of decay ratios of disturbance-rejection magnitude optimum method for PI controllers

One of the key time-domain closed-loop performance requirements is the closed-loop response decay ratio. In this paper, the decay ratios of the disturbance-rejection magnitude optimum (DRMO) tuning method [Vranci? D, Strmcnik S, Kocijan J. Improving disturbance rejection of PI controllers by means of the magnitude optimum method. ISA Trans 2004; 43: 73-84; Vranci? D, Strmcnik S. Achieving optimal disturbance rejection by using the magnitude optimum method. In: Pre-prints of the CSCC'99 conference. 1999. p. 3401-6] are analyzed and compared to decay ratios of two other modern tuning methods, i.e. the Kappa-Tau tuning method (based on time-domain step-response characteristics) [Astr?m KJ, H?gglund T. PID controllers: Theory, design, and tuning. 2nd ed. Instrument Society of America; 1995] and the non-convex optimization tuning method (based on frequency response) [Panagopoulos H, Astr?m KJ, H?gglund T. Design of PI controllers based on non-convex optimization. Automatica 1998; 34: 585-601; Panagopoulos H, Astr?m KJ, H?gglund T. Design of PID controllers based on constrained optimisation. IEE Proc Control Theory Appl 2002; 149 (1): 32-40]. It is shown that the DRMO method results in such a closed-loop response that the decay ratio is within a relatively narrow interval when compared to the other two methods.     

Study on the electrical conductivity and morphology of porous polypyrrole layers prepared electrochemically in the presence of pyridinium chlorochromate

The electrical conductivity and morphology of thick (up to 3 mm) porous polypyrrole (PPy) layers produced electrochemically from pyrrole in acetonitrile (ACN) solutions have been studied. The electrical conductivity of pressed porous layers ranges from 1 to 10 Scm^–1, which is about one order of magnitude less than that in films which were prepared under similar conditions but without PnClCr. Analysis of the temperature dependence of conductivity has confirmed the major role of hopping in relation to tunnelling in charge transport inside the PPy layers even at lower temperatures. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed a globular structure, which is different from the usual cauliflower-like structure of PPy films prepared without any oxidizing agent. Globular particles of about 1–3 m diameter have been found under a thin smooth crust on the electrode side of the sample. Globular particles form linked chain-like or larger round formations poorly filling the space. Closely packed fibrils of about 20 nm diameter and over 100 nm in length were found inside the aggregates.     

Color effects of uniform colloidal particles of different morphologies packed into films

The experimentally determined chromaticities and reflectance spectra of films consisting of uniform ellipsoidal or spherical colloidal hematite particles are compared with calculated values and are found to be in good agreement. The theoretical treatment of the light-scattering problem involves the Mie theory for the spheres and the T-matrix method for the ellipsoids. The reflectance spectra for the pigment films are calculated through the use of the Kubelka-Munk analysis.

Algorithm for the determination of intrinsic optical constants of metal films: application to aluminum

Optical and electron-energy-loss data for evaporated-aluminum films have been critically analyzed and used in an iterative, self-consistent algorithm that represents a combination of the Kramers-Kronig analysis and the semiquantum-model application. The novel values of the intrinsic optical functions of aluminum have been determined in a wide spectral range from 200 μm (6.2 meV) to 0.12 nm (10 keV). These functions are in accordance with recent calculations by Lee and Chang [Phys. Rev. B 49, 2362 (1994)], with dc conductivity measurements, and are in good agreement with both peak positions and line widths obtained from electron-energy-loss experiments. The results are examined for internal consistency by inertial and f-sum rules.     

The influence of adding pitch to resin as a matrix precursor on properties of carbon-carbon composites

Carbon-carbon composites were prepared with commercially available carbonized and graphitized fibres, with a mixture of pitch and phenolic resin as a binder and pitch as an impregnant. The contents of pitch in mixtures were: 0, 10, 20 and 30 wt %. The influence of pitch content in the mixture and fibre type on mass loss, shrinkage and mechanical properties of the composites was examined. With an increase of pitch content mass loss and shrinkage increased, while mechanical properties decreased. After three densification cycles, flexural strength increased with increasing pitch content in the binder, especially for composites with graphitized fibres.
