A note on the first-passage problem and VanMarcke’s approximation — short communication

Given a scalar, stationary, Markov process, this short communication presents a closed-form solution for the first-passage problem for a fixed threshold b. The derivation is based on binary processes and the general formula of Siegert [Siegert AJF. On the first-passage time probability problem. Physical Review 1951; 81:617–23]. The relation for the probability density function of the first-passage time is identical to the commonly used formula that was derived by VanMarcke [VanMarcke E. On the distribution of the first-passage time for normal stationary random processes. Journal of Applied Mechanics ASME 1975; 42:215–20] for Gaussian processes. The present derivation is based on more general conditions and reveals the criteria for the validity of the approximation. Properties of binary processes are also used to derive a hierarchy of upper bounds for any scalar process.     

CAL delivery selection criteria and authoring systems

Abstract  In the past, authoring systems have been used to generate computer-assisted learning materials that have often followed the rather restrictive programmed learning format. A number of innovative ways of using recently developed systems to develop CAL packages that include a wider range of learning activities (access to data bases, simulations, interactive video, etc.) are described. Analogous to the concept of a media selection model, a computer delivery mode selection model is presented as an aid to decision making for designers. This increase in flexibility should broaden the applicability of computerassisted learning (CAL) to a wider range of educational objectives and raise the level of the cognitive emphasis in learning packages, as well as facilitate the implementation of visually appealing materials. The paper also implies a standard of acceptability for authoring systems.

萃取预分离法分离富铕中钇矿新工艺

采用一种新的串级萃取方式--萃取预分离法分离富铕中钇矿的新工艺.原料首先流入十几的三出口预先粗分离工艺,其萃余液La～Gd(TbDy)直接流入Nd/Sm工艺;中间出口流入(Gd)Tb～HoY(Er)Gd～Dy/Ho～LuY细分离工艺;出口负载有机相(Ho)Er～LuY流入Gd～Dy/Ho～LuY的洗涤段.结果表明,新工艺的粗分离工艺将占原料约70%的La～Gd(TbDy)预分离掉,使流入Gd～Dy/Ho～LuY工艺的稀土量减少约70%;由于Gd～Dy/Ho～LuY分组的萃余液GdTbDy含Ho2O3小于0.03%,省去原工艺的GdTbDy/HoY分离;新工艺的处理能力提高30%,酸碱消耗减少20%以上,贵重稀土元素Eu和Tb的存槽量大大减少.
