PANIC: an integrated approach to the preservation of composite digital objects using Semantic Web services

To date, long-term preservation approaches have comprised of emulation, migration, normalization, and metadata – or some combination of these. Most existing work has focussed on applying these approaches to digital objects of a singular media type: text, HTML, images, video or audio. In this paper, we consider the preservation of composite, mixed-media digital objects, a rapidly growing class of resources. We describe an integrated, flexible system that we have developed, which leverages existing tools and services and assists organizations to dynamically discover the optimum preservation strategy as it is required. The system captures and periodically compares preservation metadata with software and format registries to determine those objects (or sub-objects) at risk. By making preservation software modules available as Web services and describing them semantically using a machine-processable ontology (OWL-S), the most appropriate preservation service(s) for each object (or sub-object) can then be dynamically discovered, composed and invoked by software agents (with optional human input at critical decision-making steps). The PANIC system successfully illustrates how the growing array of available preservation tools and services can be integrated to provide a sustainable, collaborative solution to the long-term preservation of large-scale collections of complex digital objects.     

Device-based decision-making for adaptation of three-dimensional content

The goal of this research was the creation of an adaptation mechanism for the delivery of three-dimensional content. The adaptation of content, for various network and terminal capabilities – as well as for different user preferences, is a key feature that needs to be investigated. Current state-of-the art research of the adaptation shows promising results for specific tasks and limited types of content, but is still not well-suited for massive heterogeneous environments. In this research, we present a method for transmitting adapted three-dimensional content to multiple target devices. This paper presents some theoretical and practical methods for adapting three-dimensional content, which includes shapes and animation. We also discuss practical details of the integration of our methods into MPEG-21 and MPEG-4 architectures.     

SOC系统中C到VHDL的转换

近年来,SOC设计方法学的研究越来越引起人们的注意。C语言适合对系统进行高层次的描述。C语言的系统描述经过软硬件划分之后,要求将硬件实现部分转换为适合于综合的VHDL语言。文章通过分析两种语言的区别,提出并实现了适于表达C语言描述内容的VHDL结构形式,并对几种C语言结构提出合理的转换方案。实验表明,文章提出的方案是正确的和有效的。     

Finite element recovery techniques for local quantities of linear problems using fundamental solutions

We show that local quantities of interest such as displacements or stresses of a FE–solution can be calculated with improved accuracy if fundamental solutions are employed. The approach is based on Bettis theorem and an integral representation of the local quantities via Greens function. The unknown Greens function is split into a regular part and a fundamental solution so that only the regular part must be approximated on the finite element ansatz space. Some numerical studies for linear elasticity will illustrate our approach.     

21世纪中叶西南国际诸河水能资源开发设想

西南国际诸河包括澜沧江、怒江、红河和伊落瓦底江,4大流域在我国境内总流域面积约41万km^2,本文论述诸流域水能资源量分布特点及其开发利用条件,开发程度,根据化、西南地区各（区）21世纪中叶经济发展,电力规划和区域电网结构设计的可能性,开发西部水能资源,实现了“西电东送”的目标,提出分阶段水电开发设想,重点是21世纪前20年。西南国际诸河水能资源丰富,根据初步复核的技术可开发装机容量为5298．17万KW,年发电量2577．44亿KW.h。装机容量按河流分澜沧江57．71％,怒江占30．38％、红河和伊洛瓦底河两江仅占11．91％,至1995年开发程度仅为4．93％,说明西南国际诸河尚有大量的水能资源待开发。为加快我国西南部地区经济的发展,促进东西部经济共同繁荣,必须加大西南国际诸河的水能资源开发利用,这也符合目前国家的西部开发策略。     

Quality measure of color images based on properties ofvision psychology and color distortion in MPEG-21

In this article, a new way to evaluate the quality of color images is proposed, in which the properties of human vision psychology, objective fidelity, edge information, and color distortion will be combined through utilizing 3-D matrix transform. There exists color redundancy and structural similarity between three different frames of a color image, the definition of vision properties will be measured by 3-D submatrix integration transform (SIT), in which three color components are integrated into one model and color redundancy can be exploited fully. The simulation results show that the measure index is very effective and objective in accord with vision properties.     

基于DAB及DAB系列系统的单频网切换方案设计与仿真

《30 MHz~3000 MHz地面数字音频广播系统技术规范》即通常所说的DAB(数字音频广播)中国标准虽然是针对于音频的,但是考虑到基带部分是信源透明的,所以完全可以作为手机电视的传输网络。文中在兼容DAB标准的情况下提出了一种单频网切换的方案,以实现服务的平滑过渡。通过对ETSI协议的相关补充并采用二级检索的机制保证了接收机在地域切换时信号的连续性,最后通过软件仿真的方法从视觉直观上验证了该方法的效果,从而确定了该方案的可行性。

Microstructural evolution of AS21X HPDC alloy during thermal treatment

Abstract

The microstructure of a High Pressure Die Cast Magnesium (HPDC) AS21X alloy was investigated after various heat treatments. The material, supplied in the as cast state, consisted of Mg-α grains separated by intermetallic particles such as Mg₁₇Al₁₂, Mg₂Si and Al–Mn. The alloy was subjected to solution treatment at 415° C for times ranging from 0.5 to 48 h and to aging to assess grain growth stability and precipitation hardening. Light microscopy showed that Mg-α grains increase slightly in size whereas intermetallic particles do not disappear but assume a more rounded shape. Static precipitation and/or dissolution were followed by electrical conductivity, hardness measurements and X-ray diffractometry. Tensile properties at room temperature were evaluated on both the as cast and solution treated samples. Density was used as an indicator of porosity to explain the scatter in elongation to fracture data. Study of the fracture surfaces revealed the morphology of porosity and the otherwise ductile fracture failure mechanism.     

Cross-sectional distortion behaviors of thin-walled rectangular tube in rotary-draw bending process

The cross-sectional distortion usually appears during rotary-draw bending process of thin-walled rectangular tube with small bending radius.To study the cross-sectional distortion of the tube,a three-dimensional finite-element model of the process was developed based on ABAQUS/Explicit code and its reliability was validated by experiment.Then,the cross-sectional distortion behaviors of the tube were investigated.The results show that a zone of larger circumferential stress appears on the tube when bending angle reaches 30°.And in the larger circumferential stress zone,the sagging phenomenon is produced obviously.The maximum cross-sectional distortion is located in the larger circumferential stress zone and the angle between the plane of maximum cross-sectional distortion and the bending reference plane is about 50°.The position of the maximum cross-sectional distortion keeps almost unchanged with the variation of the clearances between dies and tube.
