Synfuel development impacts— econometric modelling and policy analysis

The prospects for rapid near-term development of a synfuel industry in the USA have decreased, due to depressed world oil prices, synfuel project cost overruns, and the lukewarm support of the Reagan administration. Nonetheless, socioeconomic and environmental impact analysis studies can provide valuable information for determining the regional welfare effects of proposed projects. The author discusses the results of a regional econometric analysis of the synfuel projects planned for Western Kentucky, which focuses on environmental impacts, and reveals the inevitable trade-offs that would accompany synfuel development. Some policy issues are briefly reviewed, especially that of efficient energy pricing.     

初至波走时层析成像中的正则化方法

 波场的等效性、观测数据的有限性和观测误差等因素导致地球物理反演本身具有严重的多解性，降低这种多解性的一种重要途径就是对反演过程进行约束。传统的初至波走时层析成像方法，通常是在外部对模型空间施加显式的约束和平滑处理，这样就会破坏模型参数与传播算子之间的相关性，难以达到有效利用先验信息的目的, 甚至会影响反演的稳定性。针对这一问题，本文将先验信息分为三类，在此基础上阐述了通过正则化手段将各种先验信息纳入到反演方程当中，替代传统的外部约束模式。理论试验结果表明，正则化方法比外部约束方法有效地提高了反演的精度和分辨率；将该正则化方法应用于实际二维资料处理，也得到了比较好的反演结果。

碳/环氧复合材料的冲击拉伸

该文研究了T300碳纤维单向增强的环氧复合材料,在应变率从10~(-3)/s到10~3/s范围内的冲击拉伸行为.通过对实验数据进行拟合,得出该范围内材料对应变率具有弱的敏感性,表现在破坏强度及破坏应变随应变率增加不显著变化,平均模量几乎不受应变率的影响.分析了试件的几何尺寸效应,讨论了应力波作用对破坏形态的影响以及实验中观察到的拔出现象.从应变率在10~2～10~3/s附近材料行为某些非确定性,指出在更宽范围内了解其性能的必要性.

Delaminations at the free edge of a composite laminate

The concept of a fracture process zone where damage takes place is used to analyse the delaminations at the free edges of angle ply laminates under uniaxial tension. The use of a fracture process zone removes the singularity in the interlaminar stresses and enables the initiation and growth of delaminations to be modelled for a perfect laminate without any assumed prior defects. Two different models for the stress displacement relationship in the fracture process zone are examined: a constant stress up to critical displacement and a linear relationship. Finite element analysis shows that there is little difference in the predictions obtained from the two models. An approximate analysis is presented for the constant stress stress-displacement model which is shown to agree with a finite element solution and experimental data. Hence it is argued that the approximate method using a constant stress model for the fracture process zone is sufficient for accurate prediction of delaminations.     

Perspective:Societally connected multimedia across cultures

The advance of the Internet in the past decade has radically changed the way people communicate and col- laborate with each other. Physical distance is no more a barrier in online social networks, but cultural differences (at the individual, community, as well as societal levels) still govern human-human interactions and must be con- sidered and leveraged in the online world. The rapid de-ployment of high-speed Internet allows humans to interact using a rich set of multimedia data such as texts, pictures, and videos. This position paper proposes to define a new research area called ’connected multimedia’, which is the study of a collection of research issues of the super-area social media that receive little attention in the literature. By connected multimedia, we mean the study of the social and technical interactions among users, multimedia data, and devices across cultures and explicitly exploiting the cultural differences. We justify why it is necessary to bring attention to this new research area and what benefits of this new research area may bring to the broader scientific research community and the humanity.
