Thermodynamics-inspired inverse halftoning viamultiple halftone images

Based on an analogy between thermodynamics and Bayesian inference,inverse halftoning was formulated using multiple halftone images based on Bayesian inference using the maximizer of the posterior marginal(MPM) estimate.Applying Monte Carlo simulation to a set of snapshots of the Q-Ising model,it was demonstrated that optimal performance is achieved around the Bayes-optimal condition within statistical uncertainty and that the performance of the Bayes-optimal solution is superior to that of the maximum-a-posteriori(MAP) estimation which is a deterministic limit of the MPM estimate.These properties were qualitatively confirmed by the mean-field theory using an infinite-range model established in statistical mechanics.Additionally,a practical and useful method was constructed using the statistical mechanical iterative method via the Bethe approximation.Numerical simulations for a 256-grayscale standard image show that Bethe approximation works as good as the MPM estimation if the parameters are set appropriately.     

Characterization of Hydroxyapatite Film on Titanium Substrate by Sputtering Technique

Radiofrequeut magnetron sputtering technique was used to produce calcium phosphate coated on the titurdum substrates, and the sputtered coating films were crystallized in an autoclave at 110℃ using a low temperature hydrothermal technique. The crystallization of as-sputtered coating film on the titanium substrates were amorphous calcium phosphate film. However, after the hydrothermal technique, calcium phosphate crystals grew and these were cohumnar crystal. The Ca/P ratio of sputtered coating films in 1.6 to 2.0.     

State space modelling and spectral analysis of cointegrated vector processes (evidence from the U.S. and Scandinavian economies)

We provide new evidence on the impact of the U.S. economy on two Scandinavian economies (Finland and Sweden). Initially, we test for the presence of unit roots among the observed input-output processes. Next, Granger causality and cointegra-tion of the system is explicitly tested, to justify the estimated vector-valued state space model. The trend and cyclical components of the endogenous vector are extracted by three alternative decomposition methods. Finally, the content of the cyclical component is analysed by spectral analysis.     

天津以及周边近代化遗产的思考

小序2006年9月我们从日本来到天津大学任教,我们在天津工作的主要目标是:(1)成立文化遗产的保护研究中心;(2)参与中国的文化遗产保护研究和规划设计;(3)从事文化遗产学的教学。我们关注传统建筑的保护研究,同时也深感近代遗产研究是一个薄弱环节。     

从北洋水师大沽船坞保护到天津滨海新区总体规划

北洋水师大沽船坞100年前曾经在直隶创造了中国近代工业的先驱性业绩,如今对这个遗址的保护集中反映了现阶段中国对工业遗产的认识和保护情况。此外,在塘沽海河沿岸还分布着28个不同等级的文物,如何从滨海新区总体规划的角度考虑文化遗产群是值得深思的问题。文章首先记录了大沽船坞的保护过程,分析保护第一线的若干特征;其次,将文物调查数据和中心商务区进行比较,指出文物所在地和中心商务区高度重合的问题;第三,分析以往塘沽总体规划的历程和滨海新区文化定位的重要性。文章的结论是,在世界创意城市的背景下,不仅应该考虑城市的经济定位,更应该从建设之初就考虑其文化定位。     

中日工业遗产调查与评估研究的比较与借鉴

亚洲的近代工业受到英国工业革命的巨大影响,亚洲的工业遗产研究和保护也是在国际工业遗产保护的背景下发展起来的。日本产业遗产研究始于20世纪70年代,中国的工业遗产研究自2006年呈现出明显的上升趋势,至今仍然正在推进中。中日的工业遗产研究和保护有着不同的特色,采取中日比较的方法探究两国工业遗产在研究和发展历程、调查和评估方法、文物指定情况等方面的异同,考察国际工业遗产保护在亚洲的发展,同时加强亚洲工业遗产研究的学术交流和互相借鉴。提出如下建议：1）基础研究依然是下个阶段中国工业遗产研究的重要任务;2）应该尽快推进全国的普查;3）中国的数据库建设和评估工作有待进一步深入。     

Study on new GMA welding process with duplex current feeding

Gas metal arc welding (GMAW) under pure argon shielding gas atmosphere (pure argon-GMAW) is suitable to obtain a high-strength and high toughness welded joint. However, it is difficult that pure argon-GMA welding is applied practically welding structure because of arc instability. In order to perform stable pure argon-GMA welding, duplex current feeding GMAW (DCF-GMAW) has been developed. The DCF-GMAW consists of primary GMA welding current and secondary welding current by constant-current power resource. DFC-GMAW can feed larger current near wire tip. This effect makes that weld penetration depth is deeper, weld bead shape is improved using DCF-GMAW.     

存量规划时代的工业遗产保护

受到城市化和产业转型的影响,进入21世纪中国工业遗产面临严峻考验。10年后中国的城市规划进入增量规划向存量规划的转折期,土地的有效利用对象中工业用地首当其冲,这再次将工业遗产推向去与留的十字路口。如何在保护工业遗产价值的前提下有效利用工业用地是值得研究的课题。文章是关于存量规划时代如何保护工业遗产文化价值的思考。     

Efficiency of Model Induction Motor Using Various Non-Oriented Electrical Steels

Epitaxially grown free-standing diamond platelet

We obtained an epitaxially grown free-standing diamond platelet utilizing epitaxial diamond film formed on a {100} iridium surface using a d.c. plasma CVD process. Iridium was selected as a suitable substrate material for the heteroepitaxy of diamond based on original criteria. Confocal Raman spectroscopy revealed that the diamond platelet contained little or no non-diamond carbon. The obtained diamond platelet is transparent to visible light and cleavable along the 110 direction on the surface. The angles between the top surface and the cross-sectional surfaces are approximately 55°, almost equal to the theoretical angle of 54.74° between {100} and {111} planes in cubic crystals. Therefore, the cross-sectional surfaces would be {111} planes of a typical facet for single-crystalline diamond. This means that the diamond platelet we have formed has relatively good crystallinity.
