Discrete-continual model of flame propagation in a gas suspension of metal particles. I. One-dimensional approximation

Experimental data on combustion of magnesium particles in oxygen-containing gas mixtures are analyzed and generalized, which allowed us to develop a semi-empirical mathematical model that takes into account the integral effect of the initial particle size, pressure, and velocity of the oxidizing flow on combustion. Flame propagation in an air suspension of fine magnesium particles is considered in a one-dimensional approximation. For this purpose, a discrete-continual model of flame propagation in a gas suspension of metal particles is developed. The flammability limits in a vessel, caused by heat losses into the ambient medium and by spatial nonuniformity of the distribution of disperse-phase particles, are numerically determined, and the influence of nonuniformity and bidispersion of a one-dimensional ensemble of particles on flame characteristics is studied.__________Translated from Fizika Goreniya i Vzryva, Vol. 41, No. 2, pp. 81–93, March–April, 2005.

黄腐酸结构、构象和聚集过程的分子模拟研究

自然界中广泛存在着的腐植物质(HS)有多种化学反应能力,诸如矿物质的风化、养分的生物有效利用和污染物的迁移等相关的生物地球化学反应能力。腐植物质的反应性取决于其官能团的化学特性与微观结构,同时又受到周围环境及介质组分的影响。为了更好地了解腐植物质在水、土壤中的结构、构象以及聚集过程,文中描述了以伯明翰东北部庙宇(TNB)的样本,按离子或非离子的黄腐酸分子结构建模研究的过程。该理论研究结果和黄腐酸的溶解度(偶极矩)、电子和振动光谱等一些实验研究的结果能很好的吻合。其中水分子的存在对静电有很大的稳定作用,并且随着离子化程度的增加,这种作用变得更强。在真空中,由于氢键和非键力相互作用增加,未离子化的聚集体比单体更稳定。因此,随着黄腐酸分子的离子化,聚集作用将不再发生。在溶液中,黄腐酸的浓度是聚集的关键因素。若当量浓度太低,含有两个黄腐酸的系统就不可能发生聚集,但是随着当量浓度的提高,系统中聚集体的数量也将上升,情况就发生改变。离子态是聚集的另一个关键因素。离子态的黄腐酸分子有着更高的负电荷,而这会增强能量势垒,阻碍由布朗运动引起的黄腐酸分子的相互接近。

Effects of individuals' locus of control and computer self-efficacy on their e-learning acceptance in high-tech companies

High-tech companies encounter intense competition in today's global economy. With rapid changes in working environments, high-tech employees must learn quickly and effectively to solve difficult problems and increase their productivity. Many large high-tech companies have recently implemented electronic learning (e-learning) for employee training. However, e-learning systems are expensive and often underutilised. Therefore, understanding the factors associated with acceptance to e-learning are of priority concern. By integrating locus of control, computer self-efficacy and technology acceptance model (TAM) into one model, this study examines the feasibility of the extended TAM to explain employee acceptance of e-learning systems. Data were collected from 223 employees at five high-tech companies located in the Hsinchu Science Park, Taiwan. Analytical results indicate that locus of control had significant direct effects on perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. Computer self-efficacy had significant direct effects on perceived ease of use and behavioural intention to use. Overall, analytical results provide strong support for using the extended TAM to explain user acceptance of e-learning systems. The research and practical implications of findings are discussed.     

Adaptive training interfaces for less-experienced,elderly users of electronic devices

A great number of complex electronic devices are now part of our everyday lives. While many of us learn to handle these products by trial and error; others, especially older users with little experience in using electronic devices, need support. In order to allow the user maximum flexibility in terms of learning time and location, a training programme is presented which is implemented as part of the software embedded in the product itself. Particular focus is placed on the effect of adaptive training on learning. In this study, the training versions differed in their ability to adjust their complexity to the user's experience (adaptive user interface complexity) and their capability to support the learner by prompting them during the learning process (adaptive training advice). The results show that the adjustment of complexity had a positive effect on users’ experience: elderly users who trained with an adaptive interface were more successful in learning to use a mobile phone. Adaptive training advice, however, was found to have no significant effects on learners’ success and reduced their self-efficacy. This work offers guidelines on how to design integrated training applications for electronic devices that successfully help elderly users with little prior experience.
