Flammability ranking of foliage species by factor analysis of physical and chemical pyric properties

In this paper, factor analysis is introduced to evaluate the flammability of 55 foliage species that may be used in China for construction of the fuel break network of forest strips with lower flammability. Six pyric parameters, i.e. air dry moisture content, absolute dry moisture content, ignition point, ash content, caloric value and extractive content, are measured and used as variables for factor analysis. The covariance analysis shows that four principal factors can be extracted to reflect the flammability in different physical and chemical senses. In terms of the contributions of the four factors to the variances and the physical significance of the relevant parameters, the four factors are, respectively, termed as ‘flaming factor,’ ‘air dry factor,’ ‘ash factor’ and ‘absolute dry factor.’ The stability of the factor analysis method is examined by a different number of samples considered, and the variation degrees of the orderings indicate that the method has high reliability to measure the total flammability of foliage species. The results of the flammability evaluation are verified by comparison with the recommended tree species in the Chinese technology standard. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

为解决小板坯连铸机φ360mm拉辊断颈、断辊问题，对拉辊原设计及现场使用条件进行了分析，将材质由55^#锻钢改为35CrNiMo，辊身与辊颈处改为圆锥台式，同时加大辊颈处过渡圆弧并磨削处理，延长水冷孔通过辊颈圆弧，从而使拉辊寿命由3～4个月延长到10～12个月，减少了事故损失，加快了生产节奏，年直接经济效益达49万元。     

新霍构造东翼Es_3~(3-4)储层特征及其影响因素分析

阐述了新霍构造东翼Es_3~(3-4)的储层特征,分析了影响储层孔隙发育的主要因素,认为储层压实作用强烈,原生孔隙不发育,而异常高压和有机质热演化造成溶蚀作用发育形成的次生孔隙是该区主要的储集空间;次生孔隙发育于3600～3900m深度段。在次生孔隙研究基础上,预测了下一步勘探方向。     

DJG-1阳离子絮凝剂合成的影响因素

DJG-1阳离子絮凝剂的合成步骤为：玉米淀粉与丙烯酰胺在硝酸铈铵引发下接枝，得A；A与醇在酸催化下发生酯化反应得B；甲醛与二甲胺反应得N-羟甲基胺（C）；在C中加入酸使pH值为4左右。得酸性范围内的N-羟甲基胺（C′）。B与C′发生曼尼希反应得D（叔胺盐）；D发生烷基化反应E（季铵盐）；E与四苯硼钠反应生成白色沉淀。室内试验分析了DJG-1阳离子絮凝剂合成的影响因素。评价了DJG-1的水处理效果并与硫酸铝进行了对比。实验结果表明，DJG-1阳离子絮凝剂合成的影响因素包括引发剂的选用，活化时间，投料比，反应时间与温度及溶液pH值等。用DJG-1絮凝剂混凝处理钻井废水时，絮凝沉淀的速度比用硫酸铝处理时大得多，废水处理效率高，但DJG-1絮凝剂与硫酸铝复合使用经济效益更好，且硫酸铝用量为300mg/L时，DJG-1的最佳用量为3-4mg/L。     

Assessing Consequences of Substance Use: Psychometric Properties of the Inventory of Drug Use Consequences.

Negative consequences are an important component of the substance use change process, yet no standardized measure exists to assess consequences of use. This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Inventory of Drug Use Consequences, a self-report measure assessing drinking and drug use consequences. Participants (N=252) were assessed at entry into outpatient substance abuse treatment. Items loaded strongly on 1 factor, and internal consistency of the total scale was high. Fifteen items with the highest correlations with the total scale were chosen to represent the construct. The shortened measure exhibited good internal consistency, convergent and discriminant validity, and detected change over time and may be the measure of substance use consequences that is lacking in the field.

An anti-plane crack perpendicular to the weak/micro-discontinuous interface in a bi-FGM structure with exponential and linear non-homogeneities

Treated was an anti-plane crack perpendicular to the interface of an exponential-type FGM strip bonded to another linear-type FGM substrate with infinite thickness. Through Fourier integral transform, the problem was reduced as a Cauchy singular integral equation, which was further solved numerically by the Lobatto–Chebyshev collocation method. Based on the numerical solution, the effects of the geometrical and physical parameters on the stress intensity factor (SIF) were analyzed and the following conclusions were obtained: (a) A notable discrepancy between the interface-perpendicular crack and the interfacial one is that, to reduce the weak-discontinuity of interface or to make the interface micro-discontinuous will not necessarily decrease the SIF of the former, but will surely decrease that of the latter. (b) When a crack tip is situated very near to the interface (or free surface), its SIF will be high and totally dominated by the interface (or free surface). (c) To increase the stiffness of the FGM on one side of the interface is beneficial to preventing the crack on the other side from growing toward the interface. Besides, some practical suggestions were further given for material design in the field of composites.

Some better practices for measuring racial and ethnic identity constructs.

Racial and ethnic identity (REI) measures are in danger of becoming conceptually meaningless because of evaluators' insistence that they conform to measurement models intended to assess unidimensional constructs, rather than the multidimensional constructs necessary to capture the complexity of internalized racial or cultural socialization. Some aspects of the intersection of REI theoretical constructs with research design and psychometric practices are discussed, and recommendations for more informed use of each are provided. A table that summarizes some psychometric techniques for analyzing multidimensional measures is provided. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
