The rheology of Al-30Si-5Cu and Al-30Si-5Cu-2Mg spray-formed alloys has been characterized after holding at various times
and temperatures, using semisolid rapid compression to obtain load-displacement curves. Microstructures were examined after
partial remelting and compression in an attempt to understand the flow behavior. The initial resistance to flow generally
increased with holding time at temperature. This increase was attributed to the increased strength of a three-dimensional
(3-D) solid silicon network present in these alloys in the semisolid state, with the initial resistance to flow smaller in
the magnesium-containing alloys. With increased temperature, the initial resistance decreased due to increased liquid content
and grain spheroidization. The viscosity vs shear rate response was studied using the approach of Laxmanan and Flemings. The materials shear thinned rapidly during the
test conditions, in which the shear rate rapidly increased from approximately 2.5 to 92 s−1. The results were fitted to a power-law model, and the viscosities showed a drop of approximately two to four orders of magnitude
when extrapolated to a shear rate of 1000 s−1 (a typical value in actual component manufacture). The rapid compression test, which is close to conditions present in component
manufacture, was shown to have more in common with a shear rate jump experiment, rather than steady-state viscometry. 相似文献
The article investigates the finite sample properties of estimators for spatial autoregressive models where the disturbance
terms may follow a spatial autoregressive process. In particular we investigate the finite sample behavior of the feasible
generalized spatial two-stage least squares (FGS2SLS) estimator introduced by Kelejian and Prucha (1998), the maximum likelihood
(ML) estimator, as well as that of several other estimators. We find that the FGS2SLS estimator is virtually as efficient
as the ML estimator. This is important because the ML estimator is computationally burdensome, and may even be forbidding
in large samples, while the FGS2SLS estimator remains computationally feasible in large samples.

Production pipelines of manufactory industries present several machines and robots in which the movements of interpolated axes are managed by computerized numerical controls (CNCs). These are typically synchronized with several other simpler actuators along the pipeline of production. CNCs have to be flexible, easily expandable, and reusable, when pipelines of production are frequently reconfigured to realize different arranged pipelines with different technical requirements. In this paper, the assessment of a flexible CNC for such reconfigurable pipelines is presented. The analysis has been focused on defining objective metrics that can be applied for assessing performance and feasibility of distributed controls for pipelines. The method proposed has been applied on the distributed control architecture defined in the MUPAAC ESPRIT HPCN (Multi Processor Architecture for Automatic Control, High Performance Computer Networking of the European Commission). MUPAAC architecture and prototype has been assessed in order to identify the critical configurations and the limits of the architecture. 相似文献
The basic physicochemical principles of preparation of emulsion fuel compositions based on heavy and extra-heavy crude cuts
were analyzed with consideration of the nature and content of the phases constituting the emulsion, type of chemical additives
— emulsifiers and stabilizers, and type of equipment for production of emulsion fuels.

Alloy 22 (N06022) is the current candidate alloy used to fabricate the external wall of the high-level nuclear waste containers
for the Yucca Mountain repository. It was of interest to study and compare the general and localized corrosion susceptibility
of Alloy 22 in fluoride and chloride solutions at 90 °C. Standard electrochemical tests such as cyclic potentiodynamic polarization,
amperometry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used. Studied variables included the solution pH and the alloy
microstructure (thermal aging). Results show that Alloy 22 is highly resistant to general corrosion in all the solutions tested.
Thermal aging is not detrimental and even seems to be slightly beneficial for general corrosion at the higher solution pHs.
Pitting corrosion was never observed. Crevice corrosion was found only for high chloride-containing solutions after anodic
polarization. The presence of fluoride ions together with chloride ions seems to increase the susceptibility of Alloy 22 to
crevice corrosion compared to pure chloride solutions.
This article is based on a presentation made in the symposium “Effect of Processing on Materials Properties for Nuclear Waste
Disposition,” November 10–11, 2003, at the TMS Fall meeting in Chicago, Illinois, under the joint auspices of the TMS Corrosion

Nowadays any Knowledge Based System (KBS) realization needs of intercommunication among distributed components and to use non-connected and distributed data sources, which poses several challenges to the classical Artificial Intelligence field of KBS.
The multiagent paradigm and the use of ontologies are considered to be suitable tools to face the problems of designing and developing today KBS. On the other hand, using such networked KBS through handheld devices makes more efficient exploitation and interaction with the system.
This paper presents an open and flexible architecture for a distributed KBS and an application of it to construct a system for Psychological Disorders consulting, the so called PDA2 (Psychological Disorder Assistant through PDA). We analyze the main features of the architecture as well as the agent tools we may use to construct it. Additionally, we present a support ontology for Psychological Disorders. 相似文献
The effect of pressure on combustion and heat transfer is analyzed. The research is based on the basic combustion and heat
transfer theorem. A correction for the heat calculation method for pressurized furnace is made on the basis of the normal
pressure case. The correction takes the effect of pressurizing into account. The results show that the correction is reasonable
and the method is applicable to combustion and heat transfer of the marine supercharged boiler. 相似文献
