Intensive computer keyboard training programmes

An intensive computer keyboard training course, based on an information processing model of man, was tested on a variety of personnel in work. Over a one or two week period, 241 adult subjects were trained. Subjects achieved mean speeds of 7.1 words per minute (WPM) after the second and 13.7 WPM after the ninth lesson. Significant decreases in errors per minute (EPM) occurred from 2.67 to 1.78. Previous experience with a keyboard and being female were factors associated with enhanced keyboard operating performance. Compressing the ten lessons from two into one week reduced the effectiveness of the programme.     

Use of electron microscopy on microstructure characterization of high chromium cast irons

The physical metallurgy underlying the development of cast microstructures in abrasion resistant high chromium cast irons, and their structural modification by thermal treatments is relatively complex. Structural characterisation via electron microscopy therefore has a key role to play in furthering our understanding of the phase transformations that control the microstructures and hence the service performances of these irons as wear parts. This paper shows how both scanning and especially transmission electron microscopy can provide valuable information on the nature of eutectic and secondary carbides and on the matrix structures in these irons. Particular attention is given to current characterisation research on conventionally cast 30%Cr irons that are used for applications involving corrosive wear e.g. slurry pumps and on a semi-solid cast 27%Cr iron that has a potential for applications in industry.

铸件的清理和修整

铸钢件和铸铁件的清理,特别在单件小批生产的重机厂中,迄今仍是一种劳动量很大、机械化程度很低的工序。在最近十年内,铸件清理所用过的方法,基本上是广泛使用手工劳动。这些工作的机械化主要依靠于采用机械化程度较高、并能防止工人受有害物质影响的专业化铸件清理设备,但这在单件生产中是一个十分复杂的问题。因此,在铸件的清理和修整中仍然继续使用着水流参数较低的水力清砂和     

利用湿排粉煤灰及其它工业废渣研制蒸压砖

今年二月召开的全国建材局长会议指出墙体材料改革是一项十分紧迫而艰巨的任务,并强调发展节能、节土、利废的新型墙体材料,今年二月末,辽宁省人民政府又批发了“辽政发[1990]15号文”《关于限制毁田烧砖发展新型墙体材料的通知》,通知中明确要求积极发展并强制推广轻质、利废、节能的墙体材料。粉煤灰是电厂排出的工业废渣,就朝阳热电厂来说每年要排放粉煤灰近十万吨之多。我们以该电厂粉煤灰为主并掺加其它工业废渣进行了蒸压制砖的研究,取得了较好的结果。     

低能耗合成氨生产的联合能量回收系统

采用氨生产能量回收系统的现有装置,可以使每吨氨的能耗从8.4×10~6千卡降为7.0×10~6千卡。     

Fluor SOx净化工艺--为俄罗斯绿色环境开发的将SO2转化为元素硫的经济技术

Fluor公司开发的Fluor SO_2净化工艺具有广泛多样的工艺布局,可以通过经济的方式定制脱除烟气中的有害组成。该工艺几乎能去除全部SO_2并减少CO排放。Fluor SO_x净化工艺的主要步骤已在多套工业装置中得到成功的证实。除技术可行、经济合理之外,Fluor SO_x净化工艺不会产生任何有害副产物,也不会遇到与SO_3 有关的腐蚀问题。此外,该工艺生产高纯度可市售的元素硫。论述了Fluor SO_x净化工艺的特征、技术和成本优势、设计和操作的简易性以及实施的便利性。     

DESENSITIZING EFFECT OF ISOMERIC METALLORGANIC PALLADIUM (II) COMPOUNDS WITH THIOSEMICA-RBAZIDE ON THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS OF SILVER HALIDE PHOTOGRAPHIC MATERIALS

Some chemical compounds can be used in the chemical photographic development process of silver halide panchromatic motion picture materials to decrease their sensitivity upon exposure whereby their development is possible at relatively bright illumination. Such compounds can be the organic compounds of o-elements with complanar structure. It was observed, in particular, the pronounced desensitizing effect of bis (thiosemicarbazido) palladium (Ⅱ) dichloride of the formula:
