Use of the Extreme Groups Approach: A Critical Reexamination and New Recommendations.

Analysis of continuous variables sometimes proceeds by selecting individuals on the basis of extreme scores of a sample distribution and submitting only those extreme scores to further analysis. This sampling method is known as the extreme groups approach (EGA). EGA is often used to achieve greater statistical power in subsequent hypothesis tests. However, there are several largely unrecognized costs associated with EGA that must be considered. The authors illustrate the effects EGA can have on power, standardized effect size, reliability, model specification, and the interpretability of results. Finally, the authors discuss alternative procedures, as well as possible legitimate uses of EGA. The authors urge researchers, editors, reviewers, and consumers to carefully assess the extent to which EGA is an appropriate tool in their own research and in that of others.

高压注水管柱受力分析

进行高压注水管柱受力分析的目的就是根据注水条件研究注水管柱在不同过程中的各类效应，以及这些效应对管柱产生的受力和变形规律，从而明确注水管柱的工作状态，保障注水管柱有效合理地工作。较详细地分析了高压注水管柱在锚定、坐封以及注水3个过程中的受力状态和变形情况，并分析了高压注水管柱在不同过程中受到的各种效应的影响，推导出注水管柱在不同过程中的应力及变形的计算公式，并给出了算例。     

准噶尔盆地腹部超压层分布研究

准噶尔盆地腹部普遍发育深层（大于4000m）超压系统，很多钻井都钻遇超压。通过对超压段钻井、地质、测井、地震特征系统研究发现，超压段泥浆密度大幅增加，具有高声波时差、低电阻率以及地震低速的超压响应特征。利用Dix公式计算地震层速度和利用Fillippone公式计算地层压力，得到超压数据体。准噶尔盆地腹部超压在白垩系及其以下沉积地层中均有分布，超压层的深度范围不同。分1井西凹陷边缘以及昌吉凹陷西南有空层现象。超压顶面分布的层位由北往南、从东到西逐渐变浅，从三叠系顶部到白垩系底部。深部超压对油气分布和富集有着重要的控制作用，准噶尔盆地腹部超压层分布的研究将对本区油气勘探起积极的推动作用。     

Three-parameter vs. two-parameter Weibull distribution for pultruded composite material properties

The three-parameter and two-parameter Weibull distributions are compared using 26 mechanical property data sets of fiber-reinforced polymeric (FRP) composite materials manufactured by the pultrusion process. Both strength and stiffness properties were examined. The probability distributions were compared on the basis of goodness of fit, nominal design values, and allowable load to achieve uniform reliability. It is recommended that the two-parameter Weibull distribution be used to characterize FRP composite material properties. The primary basis for this recommendation is small differences in nominal design values and small differences in allowable loads between the two-parameter and three-parameter Weibull distributions. Other supporting reasons for the recommendation are similar observed significance levels in distribution fitting, computational efficiency, and the fact that the location parameter of the three-parameter Weibull distribution is near the first order statistic.     

The concept of an endurance limit for adhesive joints

The effect of cyclic stressing on the strength of single lap adhesive joints has been studied and a considerable reduction in strength observed when the maximum stress exceeds about 40% of the ultimate tensile strength, but whether or not a true endurance limit exists is not proven. Fallacies are shown in some of the techniques which have been proposed for studying the fatigue behaviour of adhesive joints.     

配网侧接入电源对负荷建模的影响

研究了配网侧接入电源对负荷建模的影响。发现当配网侧电源的发电容量逐渐增大时，原有的感应电动机并联恒阻抗、恒电流、恒功率（ZIP）模型的负荷模型将不再能很好地反映该区域的负荷特性，进而提出了一种新的负荷模型结构———异步发电机并联ZIP模型。通过仿真计算，验证了该新负荷模型的有效性，并进一步统一了上述2种负荷模型，称为异步机并联ZIP负荷模型。     

非均质储层模型微观水驱油实验

储层的非均质性不但普遍存在，而且是影响注水开发油藏水驱效率和开发后期剩余油分布的重要因素。利用微观模型水驱油实验，研究了横向、纵向及平面共6种非均质模型在不同注采方式下微观水驱油机理。针对不同非均质模型和注采方式下剩余油分布特点，研究了改变注采方向和驱替压力对提高水驱采收率的影响。改变注采方向后，横向和平面非均质模型采收率分别提高了2．89％和5．42％；对于纵向非均质模型，首次低注高采改变为高注低采后提高采收率3．72％，反之提高了1．26％。提高驱替压力后，横向及纵向非均质模型的采收率分别提高了35．65％和31．26％，平面非均质模型只提高了8．10％。     

当前水价改革中迫切需要注意的问题

加强水价改革，提高水价，促进节约用水，已经成为全社会关注的焦点。在节约用水和水资源优化配置条件下如何确定水价，水价构成及供水企业的合理成本与利润，以及资源水价的分配和用途是当前水价改革中亟须研究探讨和重视的问题。商品水价应该包括三个部分：一是资源水价，二是工程水价，三是环境水价。只有包括资源因素的水价，才能真正发挥水价在水资源的优化配置和合理利用方面的调节作用。
