SHRP 沥青研究课题进展

1987年春天,美国国会通过了一项法案,为美国迄今为止最大的,最雄心勃勃的战略公路研究计划(Strategic HighwayResearch Program),在五年内提供一亿伍千万美元的资金,占美国联邦公路资金的0.25%。这个研究计划是在美国各州公路和运输官员协会(AASHTO)、美国运输研究委员会(TRB)和美国联邦公路管理局(FHWA)的领导和指导下制定的。1987年秋天,最初的六个大课题集中为四个大课题:沥青 5000万美元路面长期性能 5000万美元公路运行 2120万美元     

岩石普氏坚固性系数的应用

苏联自1976年起实行测定岩石坚固性系数的国家标准,它是用仪捣碎岩石样品来测定的。苏联《矿山杂志》1979年指出,国标21153.1—75必须修正,因为它没有考虑到仪器夯捣垫底的可让性对     

奥林奇县水库二维溃坝洪水流量分析

二维溃坝模型已用来预测奥林奇县水库下游冲积扇的淹没范围。这个模型是以浅水长波的连续方程和动量方程的扩散形式为基础的。而控制方程是用显式数值方法求解的。与一维模型比较,二维模型可以预测更大的淹没范围。     

纺纱系统的选择

如何选择纺纱方法?能否用新的纺纱系统代替环锭纺?本文对此作些分析。 1.环锭纺至少在公元2000年以前能保持现时世界范围的锭子水平。 2.每年大约仍然有250到300万纱锭在安装着。 3.环锭纺的生产率将继续保持着每隔20年增加一倍的趋势。这些情况是由Schlabhorst公司执行副经理Josef Derichs博士最近一篇分析纺纱工     

Fe-Si-O系统中各矿物的热力学性质

序言Fe-Si-O系统包括三个重要的元素.人们对该系统的矿物平衡作深入研究,是了解许多地壳、地幔和地核环境的先决条件.而这方面的资料对有关陨石、月球和行星的问题也是有意义的.Bowen等(1932)首先在1个大气压下对FeO-SiO_2系统作熔融实验,并表明了实验结果在岩石学上的意义.为了防止氧化作用,所用原料应盛在铁坩埚内,并在炉内通入氮.在     

大地电磁测深数据显示中视电阻率的定义

本文对大地电磁测深数据显示中视电阻率重新进行了定义。该定义以频率归一化阻抗函数为基础。我们从理论上分析了现有定义和本文提出的定义,并用一维地层模型曲线对两者做了比较。用本文的定义计算视电阻率曲线能更好地近似地层的实际电阻率。     

An automated, parallel processing approach to biomolecular sample preparation

Sample preparation for DNA and RNA assays is a prime candidate for laboratory automation. A novel, parallel processing device that performs the three separate liquid-handling functions necessary for such sample preparation-dispensing, pipetting, and pressurizing-is presented. The device comprises an array of fine nozzles connected by fluidic channels to automatically and precisely distribute flow between one source and an array of points. The design principles, as well as the experimental and computational methods used to develop the device, are described. Test results, including accuracy, uniformity, volume range, and timing, are presented. The functionality of the device is demonstrated by performing a solid-phase extraction of DNA with two types of microcolumns.     

Training for an agricultural discrimination task

Skeleton weed, centaurea juncea, is a declared weed in Western Australia because it competes with grain crops for nutrients and moisture. When it is found during harvesting, mechanised teams search and eradicate it. In an earlier report of field trials (Hartley et al, 1989) it was reported that search teams' detection rate was poor and since search teams had usually never seen skeleton weeds, visual discrimination learning was to be expected and observed during searches. The present study investigated the nature of this discrimination learning in a laboratory by developing a training programme of colour photographic slides of weeds in stubble. Subjects receiving specific training with feedback on their performance compared with those receiving pseudo-training showed a significant improvement in detections. Subsequently the benefit of the programme was validated in a field trial.     

Adaptive synthesis of distance fields

We address the computational resource requirements of 3D example-based synthesis with an adaptive synthesis technique that uses a tree-based synthesis map. A signed-distance field (SDF) is determined for the 3D exemplars, and then new models can be synthesized as SDFs by neighborhood matching. Unlike voxel synthesis approach, our input is posed in the real domain to preserve maximum detail. In comparison to straightforward extensions to the existing volume texture synthesis approach, we made several improvements in terms of memory requirements, computation times, and synthesis quality. The inherent parallelism in this method makes it suitable for a multicore CPU. Results show that computation times and memory requirements are very much reduced, and large synthesized scenes exhibit fine details which mimic the exemplars.
