ISO和ASTM标准中无缝钢管探伤方法对比分析

介绍了ISO 10893标准2011版和ASTM系列探伤方法标准,并与旧标准进行对比;分析了两个系列标准在检测管径范围、对比样管选材、人工缺陷形状及尺寸、验收等级、探伤报告要求、检测方法局限性等方面的异同。分析认为：两个系列标准在探伤技术方法方面没有实质性的区别,但在对比样管选材、人工缺陷形状及尺寸、验收等级等方面的要求不同,应视采用探伤方法标准分别对待。     

Earthquake-induced landslides: Distribution,motion and mechanisms

The objective of this paper is to clarify the factors that resulted in many landslides during the 2011 off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku Earthquake. The geology of the Tohoku district, the seismic motion of the main shock and the precipitation around the time of the earthquake are described. As one of the characteristic phenomena observed around Shirakawa city in Fukushima prefecture and the mid-eastern part of Tochigi prefecture, many of the slopes were characterized by a high distribution of sensitive volcanic cohesive soils. The estimated PGA and PGV around the areas were therefore larger, which might have promoted the softening of the sensitive soils.Although there had been little precipitation before the main shock, the landslides occurred mostly in the slopes containing the volcanic cohesive soils with higher water content. The influences of the ground water as well as other factors on the seismic slope stability are discussed in each of the following case studies. In order to clarify the mechanism of each landslide, the study focused on three typical landslides which occurred in the affected areas, i.e., the Hanokidaira, Okanouchi and Kami-kashiwazaki landslides. Detailed surveying with a laser profiler (LP) was carried out at the Hanokidaira and Okanouchi landslides to enable the topography of each slope before and after the main shock to be accurately grasped. Analytical examinations for the sliding mechanisms in each slope from an engineering point of view are made based on the numerical analyses with the actual soil properties observed in the laboratory tests. According to the results obtained from the cyclic direct and triaxial tests using the undisturbed specimens of the clayey loams sampled at the slip surfaces in each landslide, the shear strength can be reduced under cyclic loading and may eventually make the materials behave as those of high-mobility. Strength reduction is believed to be caused by the destruction of the clay particle structures originated from the sedimentation. Since the duration of the main shock exceeded three minutes, the slopes were subjected to the strong motion for a very long time. The sensitive cohesive soils resulted in a state with high mobility, which might have been the reason for the long distances traveled by the debris.     

Gold Medal Award for Life Achievement in the Practice of Psychology: Charles Silverstein.

The American Psychological Foundation (APF) Gold Medal Awards recognize distinguished and enduring records of accomplishment in four areas of psychology: the application of psychology, the practice of psychology, psychology in the public interest, and the science of psychology. The 2011 recipient of the Gold Medal Award for Life Achievement in the Practice of Psychology is Charles Silverstein. Dorothy W. Cantor, president of the APF, will present the APF Gold Medal Awards at the 119th Annual Convention of the American Psychological Association on August 5, 2011, at 4:00 p.m. Members of the 2011 APF Board of Trustees are Dorothy W. Cantor, president; William Howell, vice president/secretary; Gerald Koocher, treasurer; Elisabeth R. Straus, executive vice president/executive director; Norman Anderson; David H. Barlow, Camilla Benbow; Sharon Stephens Brehm; Charles L. Brewer; Connie Chan; Anthony Jackson; Ronald F. Levant; Sandra Shullman; Archie L. Turner; and Kurt Geisinger, APA Board of Directors liaison. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2011 APA, all rights reserved)

2011年美国总统绿色化学挑战奖项目评述

介绍了2011年美国总统绿色化学挑战奖的获奖项目。5个奖项分别是:①Genomatica公司获得了绿色合成路线奖,他们开发了从可再生原料,以较低成本生产基本化学品1,4-丁二醇的路线;②绿色反应条件奖授予了Kraton Performance Poly-mers,Inc.。他们合成了一系列无卤素的、高渗透性的聚合物膜,NEXARTM。③Sherwin-Williams公司,研究出了一种水基醇酸丙烯酸涂料制备技术,这类涂料结合了醇酸类涂料的良好涂装性能和丙烯酸类涂料的低挥发性特点,因而获得了绿色化学品设计奖;④BioAmber公司因从事生物基琥珀酸(丁二酸)的生产和应用而获得小企业奖;⑤加利福尼亚大学,圣塔巴巴拉分校的Lipshutz教授设计了一种安全的表面活性剂,能在水中形成微小的液滴。有机化合物溶解到这些液滴中进行高效的反应。他的成果终结了化工反应中对有机溶剂的依赖,因此,学术奖授予了Lipshutz教授。     

Occupied Space

With the rapid privatisation of urban space worldwide, architecture has become an increasingly political issue. The Occupy Movement, which set up encampments in over half the cities in the world during 2011 to protest against social and economic inequality, understood the power of physical occupation. Architect and lecturer Louis Rice describes how the potency of such expression lies not in its form – temporary tents and makeshift structures – but in its potential to challenge the current power base and reconceptualise the city.
