Going Private in Public: A study on shift in behavioral trend using Facebook

The growth of social media has open a new dimension of research in the domain of human Psychology. The data generated by virtue of various available social media platforms is enormous, dynamic, unstructured, imprecise and most of the time uncertain. Facebook has emerged as one of the most successful media of social interaction and thus, contributing a lot to understand various aspects of human behavior. In this paper, a specific and crucial aspect of human nature is being explored- “Going Private in Public”. This aspect deals with some unexploited trend of human psychology and the research work presented in this paper is planned such as to investigate the data that eventually helps to understand this aspect to a great extent. A questionnaire to capture some behavioral trends of Facebook user was designed and filled up using both online and offline mode. The questionnaire included sets of non-identifying demographic questions, Facebook Intensity scale, Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale for Adult, Perceived Stress Scale and NEO-PI-R model. Filling of the forms was made voluntarily and anonymously to avoid any biasing. A total of 312 responses were received and analyzed using Independent-Sample t-test, Cronbach's alpha test, Exploratory factor analysis, and MANOVA etc.     

考虑频率变化的基于DFT单相数字锁相环的椭圆拟合方法

针对传统的DFT单相锁相环在电网频率发生变化时存在锁相性能变差问题,提出了一种考虑频率变化的基于DFT单相数字锁相环的椭圆拟合方法。采用带遗忘因子的递推最小二乘法进行椭圆拟合辨识出椭圆参数,再由锁相环产生正、余弦输出,实现了基于虚拟两相正交电压矢量的单相数字锁相环控制。通过Matlab对电网电压的频率波动、相位突变以及谐波注入等参数变化的影响进行了仿真。最后,通过实验结果验证了该方法的有效性,具有较好的稳态性能和动态特性。

Study of Pre-Treatment of Oil Refinery Wastewater by EEF-Enhanced Micro-Electrolysis

Oil refinery wastewater is rich in organic pollutants and cannot be treated easily. This study involves the pre-treatment of oil refinery wastewater by external electric field (EEF)-enhanced micro-electrolysis technology. The anode was titanium net plated with ruthenium, the cathode was barbed wire, and the Fe/C/Al micro-electrolysis filler as particle electrode. The optimum conditions for EEF-enhanced micro-electrolysis were determined to be as initial pH of 3.0, 10 V EEF voltage, and 0.06 mol/L electrolyte concentrations by studying the influence of different experimental parameters. It was also found that EEF-enhanced micro-electrolysis had a higher efficiency than the traditional micro-electrolysis in the degradation of the organic pollutants present in the oil refinery wastewater. Continuous running results showed the removal rate of COD (chemical oxygen demand), ammonia nitrogen and oil of the effluent was stable, and the average value of the effluent B/C (biochemical oxygen demand/chemical oxygen demand) ratio was 0.454 ± 0.013. The values of EC (energy consumption) and ICE (instantaneous current efficiency) were 9.8 kWh/Kg COD and 340.5%, respectively, when the reaction time was 60 min in oil refinery wastewater pre-treatment by EEF-enhanced micro-electrolysis technology. GC/MS was used to analyze the organic compounds present in the wastewater before and after treatment. UV-visible absorption spectroscopy was used to analyze the degradation process of the organic compounds present in the oil refinery wastewater. The results of these analyses confirmed the technical feasibility of EEF-enhanced micro-electrolysis in the pre-treatment of the oil refining wastewater. Finally, the main mechanism involved in the treatment of refinery wastewater by EEF-enhanced micro-electrolysis technology has been discussed.     

钢筋混凝土缺角板受弯性能试验研究

为了研究混凝土缺角板的受弯性能,设计制作了角部不同开孔大小的7块钢筋混凝土四边简支板,并进行了静力受弯性能试验。结果表明：缺角板跨中区域钢筋先于板四周区域钢筋屈服,随后屈服范围不断扩展并往四角延伸,最终板顶缺角处沿与板边大致成45°方向的混凝土被压碎;开孔系数(板角所开孔洞边长与跨度的比值)为0.05、0.08、0.10、0.12、0.15和0.20的缺角板极限荷载较矩形板的极限荷载分别降低5.98%、10.35%、21.37%、23.63%、38.50%和49.29%,开裂荷载、屈服荷载基本随开孔系数的增大而降低。根据钢筋混凝土板塑性极限分析的塑性铰线法,对6块不同开孔系数混凝土缺角板提出了4种塑性铰线模式,并利用虚功原理建立缺角板极限荷载计算公式,极限荷载计算值与试验值吻合较好,验证了所提出的塑性铰线模式的合理性,及利用虚功原理建立缺角板极限荷载计算公式的可行性。引入一个与开孔系数相关的系数对塑性铰线模式进行简化,简化公式得出的计算值与试验值吻合较好。     

Influence of ultrasonic treatment on the structure and emulsifying properties of peanut protein isolate

Effects of ultrasonic treatment on emulsifying properties and structure of peanut protein isolate (PPI) were evaluated by analysis of particle size distribution, protein surface hydrophobicity, SDS-PAGE, circular dichroism spectra and environmental scanning electron microscopy. The emulsifying properties of the PPI were found to be improved by ultrasonic treatment. The mean particle size decreased from 474.7 nm to 255.8 nm while the molecular weight remained unaffected. The results of intrinsic fluorescence spectroscopy and surface hydrophobicity indicated that ultrasonic treatment induced tertiary structural changes of the proteins in PPI. Emulsifying activity index and emulsion stability index were found to be correlated fairly well with surface hydrophobicity (H₀) (r = 0.712 and r = 0.668, respectively).

Distributed computer system enhances productivity for SRB joint optimization

Initial calculations of a design of the solid rocket booster joint that failed during the shuttle tragedy showed that the design had a weight penalty associated with it. Optimization techniques were to be applied to determine if there was any way to reduce the weight while keeping the joint opening closed and limiting the stresses. To allow engineers to examine as many alternatives as possible, a system was developed consisting of existing software that coupled structural analysis with optimization which would execute on a network of computer workstations. To increase turnaround this system took advantage of the parallelism offered by the finite difference technique of computing gradients to allow several workstations to contribute to the solution of the problem simultaneously. The resulting system reduced the amount of time to complete one optimization cycle from two hours to one-half hour with a potential of reducing it to fifteen minutes. The current distributed system, which contains numerous extensions, requires one hour turnaround per optimization cycle. This would take four hours for the sequential system.
