Brokers and bricoleurs: entrepreneurship in Wales' online music scene

 The power of some new entrants to the music industry derives from their position as brokers in computer-mediated environments. Brokers act instrumentally to exploit their position within a network which, in turn, depends on their ability to build and sustain links (and, in computer-mediated environments, hyperlinks). Bricolage in computer-mediated entrepreneurship refers to the intuitive manipulation of resources in order to achieve (perhaps tacit) goals. Without careful stewardship of the new intellectual wealth thus created, bricolage may profit neither the individual nor the wider community. Accepted 14 March 2002     

Effect of 8 MeV electron irradiation on electrical properties of CuInSe2 thin films

Radiation damages due to 8 MeV electron irradiation in electrical properties of CuInSe₂ thin films have been investigated. The n-type CuInSe₂ films in which the carrier concentration was about 3×10¹⁶ cm⁻³, were epitaxially grown on a GaAs(0 0 1) substrate by RF diode sputtering. No significant change in the electrical properties was observed under the electron fluence <3×10¹⁶ e cm⁻². As the electron fluence exceeded 10¹⁷ e cm⁻², both the carrier concentration and Hall mobility slightly decreased. The carrier removal rate was estimated to be about 0.8 cm⁻¹, which is slightly lower than that of III–V compound materials.     

Techniques and Apparatus for Measuring Rotational Core Losses of Soft Magnetic Materials

In many situations such as the cores of a rotating electrical machine and the T joints of a multiphase transformer, the local flux density varies with time in terms of both magnitude and direction, i.e. the flux density vector is rotating. Therefore, the magnetic properties of the core materials under the rotating flux density vector excitation should be properly measured, modeled and applied in the design and analysis of these electromagnetic devices. This paper presents an extensive review on the development of techniques and apparatus for measuring the rotational core losses of soft magnetic materials based on the experiences of various researchers in the last hundred years.     

A Study of the Compatibility Between Asphalt and SBS

In this article, the compatibilities between different components of a base asphalt and styrene butadiene styrene (SBS) have been analyzed from microscopic structures. Specifically, the asphalt was separated into three components: saturates, aromatics, and resins, by Solvent Recycled Absorption Chromatography Separation Technology (SRACST). The compatibilities between these different components and the polymer were compared with the help of Fluorescence Microscope (FM) with which the existing state of the polymer SBS in these different components could be examined obviously. The modified effects indicated that aromatics could cause SBS swollen and, resins dissolved SBS better than saturates, though both the two components could partially dissolve SBS and the two mixtures presented two immiscible phase systems. In order to further investigate the compatibility between aromatics and SBS, from macroscopic properties, an additive rich in aromatics was added to the SBS/asphalt mixture, and the result was satisfactory.

Experimental Investigation of the Recovery of Soaked Paper Using Evaporative Freeze Drying

The aim of this article is to develop an experiment and a procedure to investigate the restoration of water-damaged paper and archival materials using freeze drying in order to allow a reproducible test and comparison of the influence of different operating conditions on drying time and restored paper quality. Firstly, a reproducible method for the preparation of soaked samples simulating water-damaged paper has been developed. Then, the samples have been freeze-dried in a laboratory-scale apparatus that allowed monitoring the temperature as well as the weight of the samples. The technique of evaporative freezing, which reduces the drying time required, has been used in this case. An innovative procedure for the visualization of the progress of the drying process has been validated, thus allowing the validation of a simple phenomenological model of the time evolution of the ice core volume; in addition, data on the residual moisture of the dried paper sheets in different zones have been given. Finally, optimization of this particular drying process by using simple or more sophisticated approaches has been discussed.     

河南油田泌阳凹陷稠油地化录井评价方法

河南油田泌阳凹陷分布有古城、井楼、杨楼、新庄4个稠油油田，各油田油质复杂，查清各区块、各层系稠油油质是开发生产的重要工作之一。通过对稠油层基本特征分析，应用地化录井参数建立了TPI评价法、原油密度评价法及原油黏度评价法。TPI评价法主要是利用原油中气态烃和液态烃与全烃比值大小划分油质类型；原油密度评价法主要利用油质重，TPI值小，反之TPI值大的关系划分油质类型；原油黏度评价法主要利用TPI反映油质组分的综合性参数的特点，建立TPI与黏度的关系。这套评价评价方法提供了快速精细评价稠油油质的新手段。     

普通热轧钢材的合理洁净度及生产工艺探讨

钢凝固前、后生成的非金属夹杂物形貌和在钢中的分布特点不同,凝固前生成的夹杂物尺寸较大,在钢中随机分布,主要影响钢材的疲劳强度和延性等性能。凝固后生成的夹杂物尺寸小,主要在晶界富集析出。硅锰脱氧钢脱氧后钢液仍含有20×10-6以上溶解氧,这部分溶解氧在钢凝固后绝大多数会转变为微细的氧化物或氧硫化物夹杂。钢凝固后生成的夹杂物主要影响钢材的冲击韧性、韧-脆转换温度等性能。 对热轧长型材用普碳钢和低合金钢不必采用铁水脱硫预处理,对热轧钢板用普碳钢可采用铁水轻度脱硫预处理,对热轧钢板用低合金高强度钢可采用铁水脱硫预处理、炼钢过程抑制回硫和出钢过程脱硫的工艺。对超低硫低合金钢,在钢水炉外精炼脱硫处理过程钢-渣间须维持非常低的氧势,炉渣成分应控制在CaO:SiO2:Al2O3=60％～65％:4％-8％:30％～35％范围。 普通热轧长型材用钢脱氧后溶解氧含量可放宽至(30-50)×10-6,对中、厚板钢溶解氧含量必须较严格控制,最好采用铝脱氧将溶解氧控制在较低的水平,并将T[O]含量控制在50×10-6以下。采用降低炼钢终点钢水氧含量、出钢挡渣、CAS和CAB等较简易炉外精炼方法和防止铸坯夹渣等措施,能够生产满足普通热轧钢洁净度要求的高品质钢材。

Effect of Rare Earth Elements on Thermal Fatigue Property of Low Chromium Semi-Steel

The effect of rare earth elements on eutectic carbide‘s morphology of low chromium semi-steel in as-cast state and after heat treatment was investigated, and accordingly, the thermal fatigue property of this material was studied. The results show that RE can improve the eutectic carbide‘s morphology, inhibit the formation and propagation of thermal fatigue cracks, therefore, promote the thermal fatigue property, which is more noticeable in case of the RE modification in combination with heat treatment. The optimal thermal fatigue property can be obtained when treated with 0.2% RE modification as well as normalization at 950℃ for 3h.
