THE EFFECT OF TIME OF DRESSING ON THE FLOWERING BEHAVIOUR AND YIELD OF HOPS VARIETY LATE CLUSTER

The Late Cluster variety of hops when introduced to Kashmir (India) from USA gave two flowering flushes in a growing season, thus giving two harvests. By adjusting the date of dressing (root pruning) from December to May 15 the abnormal flowering behaviour of the plant could be altered from two flushes to only one. Plants dressed late in spring, April 15 to May 1, gave the highest cone yield which was expressed in only one harvest. This also produced the highest α-acids content.

典型天气下大跨度日光温室内的微气候特点

为了解大跨度日光温室在典型天气下室内微气候环境特点，对沈阳地区一座跨度12m日光温室阴天、晴天情况下的室内外太阳辐射、空气温度、空气相对湿度以及各壁（土壤、薄膜、后坡、墙体）内表面的热流量、表面温度进行了测试。1月份阴天、晴天测试结果显示：晴天时太阳辐射透过率日均值近60％；揭帘后至夜间（9：00—23：00），晴天室内空气平均温度比阴天高5．5℃；夜间（18：00－23：00）0．2m土壤温度平均值晴天为11．6℃、阴天为9．9℃；前屋面、后坡几乎全天从室内吸热，土壤及后墙向室内平均放热量是阴天的1．5倍；晴天室内空气日均相对湿度为87％，阴天为93％。     

Sleepiness in professional drivers: effect of age and time of day

The effect of age and time of day on objective and subjective sleepiness in professional drivers was investigated during a simulated driving task. Thirty-six young and middle-aged professional males drivers, free from any sleep disorder, took part in two simulated driving sessions; one carried out in the afternoon (between 2 and 4 p.m.) the other in the evening (between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m.). Half of each age group drove in a low traffic condition while the second half drove in a heavy traffic condition. Throughout the driving task, subjects' electroencephalogram and Karolinska sleepiness scale (KSS) scores were recorded. Visual analog scales measuring alertness and sleepiness levels were also completed before and after the driving. After each session, subjects filled out the NASA-TLX questionnaire and were asked if they had felt sleepy during the driving. Young professional drivers presented a significant decrease in alertness (raise of the spectral power in the alpha band) in the low traffic condition and a strong propensity to sleep during the evening test in contrast to middle-aged professional drivers.     

Research on capacity addition using market model with transmission congestion under competitive environment

In this research, the fundamental premises for deregulation of the electric power industry are reevaluated. The authors develop a simple model to represent the wholesale electricity market with a highly congested network. The model is developed by simplifying the power system and market in the New York ISO based on available data for the New York ISO in 2004 along with some estimation. Based on the developed model and construction cost data from the past, the economic impact of transmission line addition on market participants and the impact of deregulation on power plant additions in a market with transmission congestion are studied. Simulation results show that market signals may fail to facilitate proper capacity additions and results in the undesirable overconstruction and insufficient construction cycle of capacity addition. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

改进网格法及其在雷电参数统计中的应用

为改善采用网格法得出雷电参数统计值可信度与空间精度不够高的缺陷而提出了改进网格法,该方法将传统网格法的单一参数(网络面积)扩展到双参数(网络面积和观测范围)。以重庆市某年雷电定位数据为例,比较分析了传统网格法和改进网格法在雷电日、雷电小时、地闪密度3类雷电参数统计时的差异。统计结果表明,采用改进网格法时3类统计值均不会随网格精度的提高而出现显著变化,其可信度及空间精度均高于传统网格法,且所得雷电参数的物理意义更明确。改进网格法可为提高差异化防雷设计提供支持。     

考虑高温累积效应的夏季日最大负荷预测

对湖南地区夏季日最大负荷与温度进行敏感性分析,得出夏季温度对负荷的影响可分为2个阶段,并提出变换公式来描述平均温度对负荷的阶段性影响。确定出现高温累积效应的温度界限值,并以高温持续天数与最高温度定义高温累积效应,直观反映持续高温对负荷的影响程度。引入温度的＂1度效应＂和高温累积的＂1天效应＂概念,并对其进行分析。建立考虑温度变化、持续高温和人们生产、生活规律的夏季日最大负荷预测模型,验证了高温累积效应的方法合理、有效。

Eye care professionals’ perceptions of the benefits of daily disposable silicone hydrogel contact lenses

PurposeTo gain a better understanding of eye care professionals’ (ECPs) perceptions regarding the benefits of silicone hydrogel (SiH) daily disposable contact lenses (DDCL), particularly with respect to health, comfort and patient satisfaction.MethodsA survey was conducted with 300 ECPs in the United States, United Kingdom and Japan during November 2017. The survey comprised 34 statements relating to SiH DDCLs, to which the ECPs provided their level of agreement using a 6 point Likert scale. A minimum of 70% agreement was set to define majority agreement. Categories of statements included Health, Comfort, Patient Experience, and Standard of Care.ResultsECPs rated the highest levels of agreement to perceptions within the Patient Experiences and Health categories. The six statements receiving the highest ratings were “Silicone hydrogel 1 day lenses satisfy today’s patients’ demanding lifestyles” (93% agreement); “Silicone hydrogel 1 day lenses are the best choice to safeguard my patients’ eye health related to contact lens wear” (92%); “Silicone hydrogel 1 day lenses provide the best benefits to my patients” (92%); “Silicone hydrogel 1 day lenses provide better long term eye health for my patients than hydrogel 1 day lenses” (91%); “Silicone hydrogel is the healthiest lens material for my daily disposable patients” (90%); and “Silicone hydrogel 1 day lenses provide a better wearing experience for my patients than hydrogel 1 day lenses” (90%).ConclusionECPs perceive that SiH DDCLs offer long-term eye health and comfort for the patient and although the ECPs surveyed would not necessarily prescribe SiH DDCLs to all their patients, they would prescribe them to most of their patients. The results support the premise that while ECPs consider SiH 1 day contact lenses as the current “standard of care”; the principal barrier continues to be the perceived higher cost of these lenses.
