Category Norms as a Function of Culture and Age: Comparisons of Item Responses to 105 Categories by American and Chinese Adults.

Understanding how aging influences cognition across different cultures has been hindered by a lack of standardized, cross-referenced verbal stimuli. This study introduces a database of such item-level stimuli for both younger and older adults, in China and the United States, and makes 3 distinct contributions. First, the authors specify which item categories generalize across age and/or cultural groups, rigorously quantifying differences among them. Second, they introduce novel, powerful methods to measure between-group differences in freely generated ranked data, the rank-ordered logit model and Hellinger Affinity. Finally, a broad archive of tested, cross-linguistic stimuli is now freely available to researchers: data, similarity measures, and all stimulus materials for 105 categories and 4 culture-by-age groups, comprising over 10,000 fully translated unique item responses.

Evaluating the design of flexible manufacturing systems

Evaluating the design of flexible manufacturing systems is complex. Developing a measure of performance useful for evaluating alternate designs continues to be interesting. Here, total productivity of the system is proposed as an appropriate measure. Specification of parameters based upon strategic considerations for this measure are discussed. Finally, the usefulness of the measure is demonstrated through an example.

New concept of surface modification to LiCoO2

As the continuance of our series study on LiCoO₂ surface modification, the complicated traditional surface coating method is replaced with simple addition of amorphous YPO₄ and Al₂O₃ in commercial LiCoO₂ or in commercial electrolyte based on our understanding to the improvement mechanism of surface modification. Comprehensive studies by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy (GC–MS), inductively coupled plasma (ICP) and Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) indicate that the products of spontaneous reaction between the additive and the LiPF₆ based electrolyte are responsible for the performance improvements.     

浅谈京津冀都市圈区域水资源战略

京津冀都市圈区域发展已纳入国家整体发展战略，在全国占有十分重要的地位。但京津冀都市圈面临着水资源缺乏、生态恶化、水污染等一系列水问题，严重影响了区域经济社会发展。针对存在的问题，要构建区域新型水资源配置格局，提高城乡供水保证率；积极建设节水型社会；加快农村水利基础设施建设，解决农村居民饮水安全：加强水生态系统保护与修复；做好饮用水水源地保护和水功能区管理；做好跨省河流的水量分配。

硝酸铵的膨化机理研究

膨化硝酸铵是一种自敏化改性硝酸铵,由硝酸铵溶液在专用表面活性剂作用下,经真空强制析晶工艺制得.文中研究了膨化硝酸铵制备的膨化过程和专用表面活性剂的作用,结果表明:在真空和表面活性剂作用下,硝酸铵溶液由不饱和状态至饱和状态,进而达到过饱和状态,最终导致硝酸铵的快速结晶和体系的膨胀.在真空干燥过程中,形成中心空穴、微细孔道和裂缝,它们使膨化硝酸铵的起爆感度提高;专用表面活性剂具有降低硝酸铵溶液表面张力、发泡剂和加快结晶成核的作用.
