Online calibration of combustion phase in a diesel engine

In this work, an online calibration mechanism is proposed for the combustion phase in a diesel engine. In particular, a simplified event-based engine model, of which the output predicts the optimum combustion phase, is used to aid the calibration, and the model is updated online along with the engine operation to keep the integrity high so as to improve the quality of optimum combustion phase prediction. It is found this mechanism can be applied to develop an online automated calibration process when the engine system shifts to a new operating point. Engine test results are included to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed mechanism.

采矿法方案优选指标权数的动态分析

在采矿方案优选的研究中，其决策的正确与否，取决于参与计算的采矿法的定量、定性指标个数以及这些指标的权数。本文通过实例分析了指标权数的波动对采矿方案优劣排序的影响，以减小决策的风险。     

深孔注浆加固技术在大采高工作面末采阶段的应用

为解决寺河矿5303大采高工作面在末采阶段出现的片帮、冒顶问题,通过分析大采高工作面煤壁破坏机理,提出深孔注浆加固技术。通过对末采段深孔注浆钻孔及注浆方案设计、注浆材料及设备选取,工程实践效果表明:实施深孔注浆后末采段煤柱的煤体结构强度得以增强,工作面两巷及回撤巷围岩变形速率减缓,回采期间片帮次数由每班11次降低至每班6次,最后的50 m仅用时8 d便顺利回采结束,未发生较大片帮及冒顶事故,保证末采阶段工作面的推进度,实现末采段的安全生产及回采设备的顺利回撤。     

薄煤层工作面液压支架可靠性评价及围岩控制技术研究

以某矿为工程背景,通过理论分析、现场监测对工作面液压支架的可靠性进行分析,并借助现场检测、数值模拟的方法对片帮、煤柱的合理宽度进行研究。通过研究发现:该矿选择的额定工作阻力为4 000 kN的液压支架能够满足该矿回采的需要;在正常生产期间工作面煤壁片帮、漏顶现象并不严重,仅在顶板周期来压期间出现较为明显的煤壁片帮、漏顶现象,片帮深度小于等于100 mm所占的比例较大;同时通过对工作面侧向支承压力分析发现,其影响范围为工作面侧向30~35 m,剧烈影响范围为20 m左右,峰值大小约30 MPa,峰值距工作面侧向距离7~9 m,由此判断,工作面正常留设煤柱的合理尺寸为30~35 m;沿空掘巷时,留设煤柱的合理尺寸可以确定为7~9 m。

A test of the fail-safe N for self-help programs.

A meta-analysis of published studies on the clinical efficacy of selected self-help programs (F. Scogin et al; see record 1990-15222-001) indicated that such conditions were more effective than no-treatment controls. Calculation of a fail-safe N showed that 53 nonsignificant studies would have to exist to render the conclusions of the meta-analysis invalid. Results indicate that unpublished research is unlikely to threaten the validity of the original meta-analysis. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

Selectivity in exposure to information.

2 hypotheses, derived from Festinger's theory of cognitive differences were tested: following a decision, persons tend to seek information that favors the chosen alternative and to avoid information that favors the rejected alternative; and the more important the decision, the greater is the subsequent selectivity in exposure to information. The method involved eliciting attitudes from college students as to various conditions regarding examination procedures. The hypotheses were supported.
