Semiconductor optical amplifier for CWDM operating over 1540-1620 nm

A semiconductor optical amplifier was developed for coarse wavelength-division-multiplexing (CWDM) operating over 1540-1620 nm (C-L band). A unique quantum-well structure was designed to meet the requirements for the CWDM operation such as wide bandwidth, low polarization-dependent gain, and high-saturation power at the short wavelength end of the band (1540 nm). Over the band, 24-dB maximum chip gain was obtained with less than 4.3-dB gain flatness and more than 14.6-dBm saturation power.

Material removal and surface damage in EDM of Ti3SiC2 ceramic

Material removal and surface damage of Ti₃SiC₂ ceramic during electrical discharge machining (EDM) were investigated. Melting and decomposition were found to be the main material removal mechanisms during the machining process. Material removal rate was enhanced acceleratively with increasing discharge current, i_e, working voltage, u_i, but increased deceleratively with pulse duration, t_e. Microcracks in the surface and loose grains in the subsurface resulted from thermal shock were confirmed, and the surface damage in Ti₃SiC₂ ceramic led to a degradation of both strength and reliability.     

Managing Clinical Use of High-Alert Drugs: A Supervised Learning Approach to Pharmacokinetic Data Analysis

Drug-related problems, particularly those that result from sub- or overtherapeutic doses of high-alert medications, have become a growing concern in clinical medicine. In this paper, we use a model-tree-based regression technique (namely, M5) and support vector machine (SVM) for regression to develop learning-based systems for predicting the adequacy of a vancomycin regimen. We empirically evaluate each system's accuracy in predicting patients' peak and trough concentrations in different clinical scenarios characterized by renal functions and regimen types. Our data consist of 1099 clinical cases that were collected from a major tertiary medical center in southern Taiwan. We also examine the use of bagging for enhancing the prediction power of the respective systems and include in our evaluation a salient one-compartment model for performance benchmark purposes. Overall, our evaluation results suggest that both M5 and SVM are significantly more accurate than the benchmark one-compartment model in predicting patients' peak and trough concentrations across all investigated clinical scenarios. M5 appears to benefit considerably from bagging, which has a positive but seemingly smaller effect on SVM. Taken together, our findings indicate supervised learning techniques that are capable of effectively supporting clinicians' use of vancomycin or similar high-alert drugs in their patient care and management.     

控制W9Cr3Mo4V低倍碳化物剥落的工艺改进

针对W9Cr3M04V轧制成品材低倍碳化物剥落的形成原因分析，得出一次碳化物颗粒粗大、在1／4D至中心区域聚集是导致低倍热酸浸试验碳化物剥落的主因；由此进行冶炼过程中注速（锭形）、浇注温度选择对比工艺试验，得出在原有冶炼＋轧制的工艺基础上选用2．2t锭、降低浇注温度（1489℃）能有效改善一次碳化物颗粒大小和聚集程度，进而有效降低低倍碳化物剥落倾向。     

营造休闲空间

商店酒店．餐厅和酒吧是人们享受消费体验的场所．商业空间的设计需要抓住的是人们对这种体验过程的需求。营造不同的空间氛围可以吸引不同品位的类型的消费人群。在商店中商品不是顾客唯一寻求的东西．别致舒适的试衣间，通透明亮的镜子与室内环境的搭配甚至柜台提供的糖果都是购物者所需要的东西。同样餐厅的主角不一定是食物，精致的餐具同样可以吸引回头客的光顾．酒吧沙发上的靠垫：酒店大厅的天花板都可能是成为有价值的卖点：86期的《WALLPAPER》为我们挑选了来自世界流行消费场所．他们的卖点又在哪里呢？
