Process and technology challenges in swift-starting virtual teams

Virtual teams often face tight schedules and a need to start quickly and perform instantly. The goal of our study was to enhance understanding of the challenges faced by such teams. We used time–interaction–performance theory as the framework for following the processes and functions within virtual teams working on a systems development task. Our study provided a detailed examination of the group process, applied to virtual teams working under time pressure. The challenges faced by virtual teams in such settings showed that teams must work to enhance their effectiveness in multiple dimensions.     

A multicriteria approach to identify investment opportunities for the exploitation of the clean development mechanism

The aim of the present paper is to investigate the prospects for the exploitation of the Kyoto Protocol's Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) in Greece. The paper is addressing 3 questions: in which country, what kind of investment, with which economic and environmental return? The proposed approach is based on a multicriteria analysis for identifying priority countries and interesting investment opportunities in each priority country. These opportunities are then evaluated through a conventional financial analysis in order to assess their economic and environmental attractiveness. To this purpose, the IRR of a typical project in each investment category is calculated by taking into account country-specific parameters, such as baseline emission factors, load factors, costs, energy prices etc. The results reveal substantial differences in the economic and environmental return of different types of projects in different host-countries and show that for the full exploitation of the CDM a multifaceted approach to decision-making is necessary.     

聚氯乙烯悬浮聚合引发剂EHP的试验研究

通过使用引发剂EHP替代ABVN在57℃下进行聚合试验,指出在引发剂等摩尔量的条件下.反应后期引发速率明显降低.反应速度减慢,聚合反应时间延长,聚合釜的设备利用率降低。增加引发剂EHP的用量,可以缩短到达85%转化率的反应时间。     

New Engineered Particles from Spray Dryers: Research Needs in Spray Drying

This article reviews developments in the simulations of spray dryer behavior, including the challenges in modeling the complex flow patterns inside the equipment, which are often highly transient and three-dimensional in nature. There appears to be considerable scope for using CFD simulations for investigating methods to reduce the rates of wall deposition and of thermal degradation for particles by modifying the air flow patterns in the chamber through small changes in the air inlet geometry. Challenges include building particle drying kinetics and reaction processes, as well as agglomeration behavior, into these simulations. The numerical simulations should be valuable supplements to pilot-scale testing, enabling more extensive and accurate optimization to be carried out than hitherto possible. New understanding of reaction processes and materials science, in combination with recent knowledge of the application of CFD to these problems, may enable new engineered powder products to be developed from the one-step spray-drying process.

我国钢铁行业清洁生产标准HJ/T189存在的问题与修订建议

2006年10月1日起实施的《清洁生产标准钢铁行业》(HJ/T189-2006)存在着一些不足之处,如不及时修订,将无法适应“十一五”期间钢铁工业的发展形势和清洁生产形势,在某种程度上还很容易对国内钢铁企业造成误导,而且会产生一些负面不良影响。根据目前我国钢铁工业的发展形势和国内外钢铁企业已经达到的实际清洁生产水平,就其存在的问题和今后的修订谈了一些看法。

高温型Mo-Al2O3金属陶瓷的研制

将Mo与Al2O3粉体按摩尔比为0．3、0．4、0．5配料，混合均匀后通过粉末冶金法制成3种Mo-Al2O3金属陶瓷试样。在1800℃，2h氢气气氛中烧结后，试样的气孔率随Mo含量的增加呈降低趋势，而强度呈增加趋势。同时，随Mo含量增加，金属陶瓷中Al2O3的晶粒尺寸减小，Mo的形态从以弥散状为主转变为以连续状为主。研制的高温型Mo-Al2O3金属陶瓷测温套管（金属与陶瓷摩尔比为0．4）在真空或N2保护条件下测量高温合金熔液温度时，平均使用寿命达到100次。     

MRC技术在全球油田开发中的应用

MRC技术被国际石油专家们确立为21世纪初最具发展潜力的8项钻井新技术之一,代表了21世纪石油技术的发展的方向。MRC除具有水平井的常规优势外,其成本比单个水平井低,是从1个主井眼中钻成2个或多个分支井眼,从而钻遇多个不同空间位置的产层、增大储层钻穿几率和有效面积、提供多种泄油模式以及控制底水锥进和延缓边水推进速度,进而提高单井油气产量。发达国家MRC的技术日渐成熟,已成为油气田开发的一种重要技术在世界范围内广泛应用,必将为全球油气资源的高水平、高效益开发和可持续发展作出积极贡献。
