Expert identification and selection: Legal liability concerns and directions

Legal liabilities pertaining to the identification and selection of domain experts is an issue that could adversely impact expert systems developers. Problems pertaining to flawed knowledge, improperly defined expertise, and behavioural and psychological impediments are just some of the issues. This paper examines the torts of strict products liability and negligence that system developers could incur as a result of expert-related difficulties. Parallels from legal scholars and federal and state court decisions are discussed relevant to expert system projects and developers. The paper concludes with a presentation of steps that systems developers can take to minimize potential legal liability.     

共混合金力学性能的研究 Ⅲ.CPP对PVC共混体系力学性能的影响

将ＰＰ氯化后作为ＰＶＣ共混体系的刚性体分散相，旨在改善高分子合金的相容性，ＤＳＣ实验表明，ＣＰＰ（氯化聚丙烯）与ＰＶＣ的相容性比ＰＶＣ与ＰＰ的好。在用弹性体增韧的ＰＶＣ／ＣＰＥ和ＰＶＣ／ＡＢＳ共混体系中加入刚性体ＣＰＰ后，随着ＣＰＥ、ＡＢＳ用量的增加，共混合金的冲击强度增加，并且由刚性的ＣＰＰ的加入所产生的冲击强度最大值的幅度也有所提高，其趋势是ＣＰＥ、ＡＢＳ用量越多，共混合金冲击强度值达到最大值时所需ＣＰＰ的量越多，增加的幅度也越大。ＣＰＰ对共混合金的拉伸屈服强度和断裂伸长率的影响比较小。     

多目标水平井水平段三维设计数学模型

用柱面法推导出多目标水平井水平段三维设计数学模型，并给出了三维设计所需井斜方位角及井斜角的简单计算公式。该数学模型具有一般性，可以方便地编制成计算机程序，对于多目标水平井水平段的优化设计和所有水平井入靶前的随钻修正设计都非常适用。     

Drying of Prone to Twist Boards in a Pre-Twisted Position

A method to minimize twist has been investigated; i.e., drying the boards in a pre-twisted position. It has been found that Norway spruce boards can be deformed toward straightness by this method. The force exerted by a board on its holders during drying in a pre-twisted position has been measured. When the variation in torsional stiffness as a function of temperature and moisture content is accounted for, it is found that a creep deformation of the board occurs both during the drying phase and the cooling phase. In addition to mechano-sorptive creep, a deformation released by a change in temperature also seems to occur.

在充分考虑小眼井钻井特点和合理确定环空压耗的基础上，将喷射钻井理论和环空携岩理论有机结合起来，导出了在两种工作方式下优化设计小眼井钻井水力参数模型，并开发了应用软件。通过实例计算，提出了在小眼井最优水力学设计中采用最大水功率工作方式的重要性，并建议在大眼井的水力参数设计中考虑钻柱的偏心、旋转和钻杆接头对环空压耗的影响。     

一种8毫米波变张角,半径突变多模圆锥馈源

我们研制了一种8毫米波变张角、半径突变的多模圆锥馈源。计算出其模比并推导出其辐射方向图公式;给出其在两个主平面——E平面与H平面上的辐射方向图和波束场分布特性的测试结果以及电压驻波比VSWR的测量结果;同时给出频带和旁瓣特性。分析与测试共同表明,在34.5GHz～37GHz频带里,该多模馈源的辐射图在大于24dB范围内获得幅度等化且不出现旁瓣,因此具有一定的应用价值。

Study on phase behavior–impact strength relationship of unsaturated polyester/polyurethane hybrid polymer network

The phase behavior of a hybrid polymer network (HPN) composed of poly[(propylene glycol maleate)-co-(propylene glycol phthalate)] crosslinked with styrene and polyester–urethane crosslinked with methylene-bis-ortho-chloroaniline was examined. The correlation between phase separation and impact strength of the HPNs is discussed. The composition of HPNs has an effect on their properties.     

Contact interaction of double titanium and chromium diboride with Fe-Cr alloys

The kinetics of wetting double titanium and chromium diboride by iron-based alloys with different chromium content is studied. It is shown that contact angles are formed in such systems over the range 0–10°. The energy parameters of wetting are calculated. It is established that chromium as a surface-active element promotes Fe-Cr alloy spreading on the diboride surface. The microstructure of the interaction area is studied. It is shown that terminal solid solutions and eutectics are formed in the TiCrB₂-(Fe-Cr) system. The optimum compositions of the metallic binder are determined for TiCrB₂-based composite materials. __________ Translated from Poroshkovaya Metallurgiya, Vol. 46, No. 1–2(453), pp. 109–115, 2007
