Electromagnetic interference risk analysis

Electromagnetic interference (EMI), whether intentional or not, causes a wide spectrum of difficulties including momentary, minor inconveniences to system failures in electronic devices [7], [26]. Within a hospital environment, electronic devices must reliably perform or fail gracefully, including telecommunications infrastructure through basic instrumentation [1]. Lack of comprehensive EMI risk data has caused some facilities to ban wireless devices altogether for reducing risk from inadvertent emitters and yet relinquishing the possible lifesaving benefits [2], [3]. Often, the bans rely heavily on good-faith compliance with minimal or no detection and mitigation strategy. With increasing reliance on electronic medical records, timely access to patients' treatments, medications, and allergens, and timely communications with medical personnel can be critical, especially during disaster events [3].     

An explicit application of partition of unity approach to XFEM approximation for precise reproduction of a priori knowledge of solution

The application of the XFEM to fracture mechanics is effective, because a crack can be modeled independently from the meshes and a complex remeshing procedure can be avoided. However, the classical XFEM has an essential problem in the approximation of partially enriched elements, that is, blending elements, which causes a lack of accuracy. For the weighted XFEM, although the numerical results show the effective improvements, it was found that the issue of blending elements still remains upon detailed examination. In the present paper, the PU‐XFEM is formulated as an explicit application of the partition of unity (PU) approach to the XFEM, in order to precisely reproduce a priori knowledge of the solution by enrichment. The PU‐XFEM is applied to two‐dimensional linear fracture mechanics, and its effectiveness is verified. It is consequently found out that the PU‐XFEM precisely reproduces a priori knowledge of the solution and is therefore effective to completely solve the problem of the blending elements.

扩展F全球分布特点的理论分析

考虑到我国区域电离层扩展F发生的物理机制和相关因素以及观测数据的可获取性,利用适宜于时间序列预测的长短期记忆网络建立了我国不同区域电离层扩展F事件的预测模型,对未来3 h是否会发生扩展F事件进行预测。以处于我国典型纬度地区的满洲里、北京、海口站为例,利用2015和2016年测试数据集对模型预测精度进行了检验,满洲里、北京、海口站平均准确率分别为92.4%、95.3%、96.0%,平均精确率分别为75.0%、61.2%、62.6%,平均召回率分别为73.0%、50.6%、31.5%。由此可见：在某些情况下,比如在低纬度地区的海口站,模型的召回率较低;除此之外,所建立的扩展F模型在多数情况下具有较高的预测能力。

Effects of stimulus information and number of stimuli on sequential dependencies in absolute identification.

Three absolute identification experiments examined the effects on sequential dependencies of 2 factors: stimulus information and the number of stimuli used. Data were analyzed by multivariate information analysis. In Exp 1 with 5 university studentswith experience in absolute identification experiments, the stimulus modality was pure tone frequency under masking and no-masking conditions and 4, 6 10, and 16 tones were used. In Exp 2 with 5 university students, luminance levels of light circles were used as stimuli and number of luminance levels was 10 or 16. In Exp 3 with 6 university students, the stimuli were pointer positions along a horizontal line and they were presented either within a small or a large range to manipulate the stimulus information available. Results show that the sequential dependencies became larger as the stimulus information was decreased and as the number of stimuli was increased. Results are discussed in the context of models of sequential dependencies. Results of a multiple regression analysis on the data were compared with those of the information analysis.

浅谈入世后我国农产品质量安全和标准体系建设

<正> 随着农业发展进入新的阶段,农产品质量安全已成为制约我国农业和农村经济发展的突出问题。特别是WTO成立以来,伴随着农产品贸易的自由进程,传统的关税壁垒作用在逐步减弱,以控制农产品质量安全为中心的技术性壁垒的作用在逐步加强,围绕农产品质量安全而产生的贸易摩擦乃至争端呈增长趋势。我国加入WTO之后,无论是农产品的国内市场,还是面对国际农产品贸易,都不可避免地要被卷入这场新的国际角逐。     

Thermal decomposition of aluminium hydroxycarboxylates—lactate,citrate and tartrate

The thermal transformation of anhydrous alumina obtained by the decomposition of the lactate, citrate and tartrate of aluminium has been examined by thermal analysis(TGA and DTA), infrared spectrophotometry and X-ray diffraction study. It is found that under an atmosphere of air the thermal decomposition of aluminium hydroxycarboxylates to anhydrous amorphous alumina, which transforms to α-alumina via γ-, δ- and θ-aluminas, proceeds as follows for Al[CH₃CH(OH)COO]₃, the decomposition of skeleton and the combustion of its decomposition products; for Al[CH₂C(OH)CH₂(COO)₃] and Al₂{[CH(OH)COO]₂}₃, dehydroxylation, decomposition of skeleton and the combustion of its decomposition products.     

Dissolution and Absorption of Nipedipine from Nifedipine-Polyvinylpyrrolidone Coprecipitate

Attempt was made to develop the solid dosage form of nifedipina which showed good absorption rate and total bioavailability. Nifedipine is a poorly water-saluble drug, whom bioavailability is low when administered orally in the crystalline form. Solutions of nifedipine were well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. The dissolution rate of PVP-nifedipine coprecipitates exhibited rapid dissolution rate. X-ray diffraction data suggested the lack of crystallinity in the coprecipitate. The relation between the dissolution rates and average molecular weights of PVP was studied. Nifedipine in the copretipitate was chemically stable to heat and humidity, but the dissolution rate of nifedipine from the coprecipitate stored at 21° and 75% R.H. markedly decreased. X-ray diffraction data revealed that it might be due to the transformation of amorphous form of nifedipine to crystalline form under higher relative humidity. The gastrointestinal absorption of nifedipine in beagle dogs after oral administration of the coprecipitate was increased than that after oral adniniatration of the physical mixture.     

Novel method for site-controlled surface nanodot fabrication by ion beam synthesis

By using a Ga FIB system to spatially control the implantation of Ga into SiO(2) followed by vacuum annealing, we have fabricated self-assembled surface Ga nanodots with a high degree of control of nucleation location. The morphology of the Ga nanodots is closely related to Ga dose, showing a critical dose needed for nucleation that results in Ga nanodot formation just below the surface, while at higher doses Ga nanodots form on the surface as metallic Ga droplets. Possible applications include defining nucleation sites for subsequent growth, use as Ga source for GaN or GaAs quantum dots, or as catalyst for nanowire growth.
