Reducing cycle times in manufacturing and supply chains by input and service rate smoothing

A key performance parameter of a manufacturing network or supply chain is its cycle time; the time that a typical item spends in the network. A previous simulation study on a semiconductor assembly and test facility showed that cycle times could be reduced by having smooth input and service rates. This suggested that there is a “cycle time principle” that, for a system with a specified throughput or input rate, the shortest cycle times are obtained when the input and service rates do not vary over time. We prove that this principle is true for the M/G/1 and M/M/s queueing systems and Jackson networks. The analysis involves establishing several results on the concavity of waiting time probabilities and the convexity of expected waiting times and queue lengths, as functions of input and service rates. These results also have natural uses in other optimization problems.     

Performance analysis of OFDMA uplink systems with symbol timing misalignment

This letter presents our investigation for the effect of symbol timing errors in orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) uplink systems. We express the symbol timing errors between users as the symbol timing misalignments with respect to the desired user. Then, we derive an explicit expression of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) as a function of the maximum value of the symbol timing misalignments. Analyses and simulation results show that, to achieve an SNR of 20 dB, the maximum value of the symbol timing misalignments must be less than the cyclic prefix duration plus 6.25% of the useful symbol duration. Based on the resulting SNR degradation, we evaluate the SNR gain with guard subcarriers in order to mitigate the effect of the symbol timing misalignments.     

聚甲亚胺改性尼龙6复合材料的等温结晶动力学

采用差示扫描量热法（DSC）对聚甲亚胺（PAM）/尼龙6复合材料等温结晶过程进行了研究。结果表明，PAM的加入使得基体的结晶速率增大，尤其是当含量为5%时，半结晶期明显减少。研究还发现，该体系的等温结晶过程完全可以用Avrami方程来描述，各试样的Avrami指数均在2-3之间，表明Avrami指数，球晶生长方式基本不受聚甲亚胺加入的影响。基体中原位形成的聚甲胺微纤起到了诱导结晶的作用，使得基体的结晶速率加快，但随着微纤含量的增加，由于分散性能变差而使得诱导结晶的能力减弱，表现为结晶速率又有所降低。

医学超声图像处理系统

超声图像诊断是与X线CT、同位素扫描、核磁共振等一样重要的医学图像诊断手段。根据肝脏超声图像进行脂肪肝的诊断,是病变确诊的主要方法。但是,与CT和核磁共振等医学图像相比,超声图像的图像质量较差,目前的诊断以定性为主,受主观因素影响较大。以图像分割为基础,以VC语言为工具,建立了超声图像处理系统,对超声图像进行了二值化处理,并对处理结果进行了量化,为诊断提供了依据。

Differentiation of smooth muscle cells from undifferentiated cells of chicken gizzard occurs on the layer of fibroblast-like cells

Conflicting results have been reported in literature about the influence of beta-adrenergic stimulation on the fast cardiac sodium current (INa+). To elucidate these mechanisms in multicellular preparations we used the loose-patch-clamp technique to evaluate the effect of the beta-adrenergic agonist isoproterenol 1-1000 nmol/l. Isoproterenol enhanced INa+ at all membrane potentials by elevation of the maximal available INa+ . Only at the high concentration of 1 micromol/l was INa+ slightly depressed after depolarizing conditioning clamps. The most marked increase of the maximal available INa+ was 30+/-9% after application of 100 nmol/l isoproterenol. To learn about the mechanisms in view of sodium channel modulation we combined isoproterenol with the sodium channel blocker lidocaine (47 micromol/l). Under these circumstances the effects of both drugs were completely independent. This investigation shows clearly that low concentrations of isoproterenol increase INa+ in multicellular preparations by a gating-independent mechanism.
