Review of The mind’s we: Contextualism in cognitive psychology.

Reviews the book, The mind's we: Contextualism in cognitive psychology by Diane Gillespie (1992). In this text the author has both expanded on several of the key insights previously outlined in the critical literature and provided a congenial introductory text for the newcomer; a text to serve as a conceptual bridge between traditional cognitive psychological approaches and their newly emergent contextualist alternatives. As stated in her preface, Gillespie's purpose in preparing this book was to "bring together the work of psychologists who are interested in telling the contextualist story of cognition" and to "reveal and strengthen their insights and perspectives" (p. xiv). Given the philosophical range and theoretical diversity of those interested in telling such a story, the task is certainly a formidable one, but it is nonetheless one that she accomplishes with a commendable degree of elegance. Gillespie clearly articulates the diverse work of a large number of psychological theorists into a coherent and meaningful account that will do much toward imposing order on a field that is, by its very nature, somewhat scattered and contentious. Each of the book's six chapters proceeds carefully through a detailed and representative historical and conceptual analysis of traditional mechanistic approaches to human cognition prior to advancing their contextualist critiques and alternatives. Through a systematic analysis of the manner in which this "contextualist story" has arisen within the mechanistic milieu of traditional scientific psychology, she is able to clarify both the implications and relative merits and liabilities of two, quite often antithetical, conceptualizations of human cognitive phenomena.

Synthesizing plans that contain actions with context-dependent effects1

This paper presents a method of solving planning problems that involve actions whose effects change according to the situations in which they are performed. The approach is an extension of the conventional planning methodology in which plans are constructed through an iterative process of scanning for goals that are not yet satisfied, inserting actions to achieve them, and introducing subgoals to these actions. This methodology was originally developed under the assumption that one would be dealing exclusively with actions that produce the same effects in every situation. The extension involves introducing additional subgoals to actions above and beyond the preconditions of execution normally introduced. These additional subgoals, called secondary preconditions, ensure that the actions are performed in contexts conducive to producing the effects we desire. This paper defines and analyzes secondary preconditions from a mathematically rigorous standpoint and demonstrates how they can be derived from regression operators.     

Diagnosis of tapping operations using an AI approach

On-line diagnosis of the machining operations is essential because it can prevent potential problems caused by abnormal conditions. So far, little research has been done for the on-line diagnosis of tapping operations. However, tapping is a very important machining operation. And the on-line diagnosis is essential. In this work, an artificial neural network was utilized for the diagnosis of the tapping operation. The input vector for the neural network is obtained by processing the signals of the thrust, torque, and lateral forces during the tapping operations. A total of ten indices were used in the input layer of the network. The output of the artificial neural network provides the tapping states. Five different tapping states were investigated: normal operation, tap wear, misalignment, oversize hole, and undersize hole. The weights and thresholds of the artificial neural network can be modified by the generalized delta rule. Experimental results showed that diagnosis of tapping operations through an artificial neural network can reach a success rate of over 95%.     

PERIODIC DYADIC GREEN''S FUNCTION FOR FIELD ANALYSIS IN EMC CHAMBER

Herein a novel Dyadic Green's Function (DGF) is presented to calculate the field in ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) chamber. Due to the difficulty of simulating the whole chamber environment, the analysis combines the DGF formulation and the FEM method, with the latter deals with the reflection from absorbers. With DGF formulation for infinite periodic array structures, this paper investigates electromagnetic field in chamber with truncated arrays. The reflection from the absorber serves as the virtual source contributing to the total field. Hence the whole chamber field calculation can be separated from the work of absorber model set-up. Practically the field homogeneity test and Normal Site Attenuation (NSA) test are carried out to evaluate the chamber performance. Based on the method in this paper, the simulation results agree well with the test, and predict successfully the victim frequency points of the chamber.

A multi-criterion interaction-oriented model with proportional rule for designing supply chain networks

Supply chain management has offered a way to improve the industrial environment becomes more competitive. While, the commonly seen methodologies may be effective in solving the production–distribution problem only from supplier- or customer-oriented consideration, those cannot present the interactive relationship between upstream and downstream enterprises. In the competitive semiconductor industry environment, considering the viewpoints of the supplier and consumer simultaneously is particularly required, because multiple manufacturing and demanding steps are performed at separate situations, concurrently. In this paper, we propose an interaction-oriented approach, which bases on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) methodology and proportional rule, to solve the semiconductor distribution problem with multiple quantitative and qualitative criteria. The developed approach gives an expected satisfaction for the all participators of the whole chain while the cooperative information is shared perfectly and effectively. Analysis results demonstrate the proposed methodology is efficient and effective through a real world case study.

用COREX输出煤气生产直接还原铁

将Ｃｏｒｅｘ输出煤气用于直接还原铁（ＤＲＩ）的生产是该气体的最佳用途。该方案在技术上是可行的。其中ＣＯ２的脱除方法已成熟并有多种选择。据推断，煤气加热时不会产生严重析碳，所以不影响加热和还原。ＣＯ２脱除量大、产品碳含量高、还原速率下降及入口温度上升是还原工艺的主要特点。ＨＹＬⅢ工艺比Ｍｉｄｒｅｘ工艺更适于使用Ｃｏｒｅｘ输出煤气。用Ｃｏｒｅｘ输出煤气作还原气时能耗比使用天然气时高。
