The Study of Low Surface Energy Fluorocarbon Coatings with Fluor Content Being Lower

A kind of low surface energy fluorocarbon coatings from the synthesized fluoro-acrylic resin was developed.The molecule orientation principle of nonpolar and polar functional groups in the coatings was analyzed. The contact angles of pure water drops on the surfaces of various fluoro-monomer homopolymers and interpolymers were measured. The relation of coatings' fluoro-content with the surface energy was determined. The distribution of fluoric functional groups in the coatings was investigated. The test results show that though the total content of fluor of the fluorocarbon coatings is relative few, their surface energy is really low due to the enrichment of fluoro-chains on the surfaces.

Should There Be a Three-Strikes Rule Against Pure Discovery Learning?

The author's thesis is that there is sufficient research evidence to make any reasonable person skeptical about the benefits of discovery learning--practiced under the guise of cognitive constructivism or social constructivism--as a preferred instructional method. The author reviews research on discovery of problem-solving rules culminating in the 1960s, discovery of conservation strategies culminating in the 1970s, and discovery of LOGO programming strategies culminating in the 1980s. In each case, guided discovery was more effective than pure discovery in helping students learn and transfer. Overall, the constructivist view of learning may be best supported by methods of instruction that involve cognitive activity rather than behavioral activity, instructional guidance rather than pure discovery, and curricular focus rather than unstructured exploration.

Recording concerns in source code using annotations

A concern can be characterized as a developer׳s intent behind a piece of code, often not explicitly captured in it. We discuss a technique of recording concerns using source code annotations (concern annotations). Using two studies and two controlled experiments, we seek to answer the following 3 research questions: (1) Do programmers׳ mental models overlap? (2) How do developers use shared concern annotations when they are available? (3) Does using annotations created by others improve program comprehension and maintenance correctness, time and confidence? The first study shows that developers׳ mental models, recorded using concern annotations, overlap and thus can be shared. The second study shows that shared concern annotations can be used during program comprehension for the following purposes: hypotheses confirmation, feature location, obtaining new knowledge, finding relationships and maintenance notes. The first controlled experiment with students showed that the presence of annotations significantly reduced program comprehension and maintenance time by 34%. The second controlled experiment was a differentiated replication of the first one, focused on industrial developers. It showed a 33% significant improvement in correctness. We conclude that concern annotations are a viable way to share developers׳ thoughts.     

Particle Swarm Optimization and Pure Adaptive Search in Finish Goods’ Inventory Management

Abstract

Inventory management deals with a tradeoff between the benefits of keeping stocks of goods that allows fulfillment of the customer’s demand, and the cost of carrying inventory. Inventory control techniques are very important components and the most organizations can substantially reduce their costs associated with the flow of materials. This paper presents new inventory management model based on particle swarm optimization and pure adaptive search global optimization algorithm in production-inventory system. The proposed model is focusing on planned level of demand for finished goods, production and raw materials cost, production capacity as the norm, change of the production cost and inventory capital cost, all of which are typical factors in automobile manufacture industry. The model determines different factors such as the minimizing inventory quantity, minimizing inventory value, and minimizing production cost based on demand for production items. The model is tested with original real-world dataset obtained from the automotive company Lear from US and its factory in Novi Sad, Serbia.     

A theory of one-dimensional fracture

A completely analytical theory is developed for the mixed mode partition of one-dimensional fracture in laminated composite beams and plates. Two sets of orthogonal pure modes are determined first. It is found that they are distinct from each other in Euler beam or plate theory and coincide at the Wang-Harvey set in Timoshenko beam or plate theory. After the Wang-Harvey set is proved to form a unique complete orthogonal pure mode basis within the contexts of both Euler and Timoshenko beam or plate theories, it is used to partition a mixed mode. Stealthy interactions are found between the Wang-Harvey pure mode I modes and mode II modes in Euler beam or plate theory, which alter the partitions of a mixed mode. The finite element method is developed to validate the analytical theories.

再现极乐净土——西方净土信仰寺院形制溯源

净土宗根源于大乘佛教西方净土信仰,是汉地佛教十宗唯一汉人开创的宗派,立宗及流行于隋唐时期,至今兴盛不衰。净土宗有《佛说无量寿经》、《佛说观无量寿经》及《佛说阿弥陀经》三部经典,分别对应敦煌壁画中无量寿经变、观无量寿经变以及阿弥陀经变,三种经变画又统称为西方净土变。通过对隋至盛唐时期(589AD~767AD)敦煌壁画中西方净土变的研读,分析总结早期西方净土信仰寺院形制的特点,解当代佛寺建筑设计创新之惑,还世人西方极乐净土庄严之精神,浪漫之意境。     

New empirical correlation for estimation of vaporization enthalpy of algerian saharan blend petroleum fractions

A Real-coded Genetic Algorithm has been used to develop a new correlation to estimate the enthalpy of vaporization for pure compounds and petroleum fractions as a function of the normal boiling point and specific gravity. In developing the correlation 80% of the data was used and the remaining are used for validation. The results of the proposed correlations are compared to others in literature. The comparison indicates that the proposed model is simple to use and more accurate than the most common correlations for predicting the enthalpy of vaporization of pure compounds and petroleum fractions.
