AgIBr乳剂微晶表面的蚀刻与溶解

含富碘区的扁平AgBr乳剂微晶受浓NaCl溶液蚀刻。用电子显微术观察到主要晶体表面含碘区有选择性地溶解,而纯的AgBr表面几乎末受影响,这一现象与相对于AgBr晶体,AgIDr具有较低的溶解性相矛盾。在AgIDr混晶中大量的晶格缺陷尤其是堆积位错,是这现象的解释。

The relationship between isometric strength of Cantonese males and the US NIOSH guide for manual lifting

A laboratory study was undertaken to assess the relationship between the maximal voluntary isometric strength (MVIS) of a group of Hong Kong Cantonese males and recommended limiting values for lifting proposed in the Work Practices Guide for Manual Lifting (NIOSH, 1981). Forty-one male subjects were required to apply a 'free-style' vertical 'lift' force to a horizontal bar located 150 mm from the ground. Forces were applied with the horizontal location of the midpoint of the ankles at 200, 400, 600 and 800 mm from the bar. The results were compared with the Maximal Permissible Limit (MPL) and the Action Limit (AL) values proposed in the NIOSH guide. The results showed that the mean MVIS of the Hong Kong subjects lay between the MPL and AL when the load was 200 mm and 400 mm from the ankles, but was significantly below the AL at 600 mm. At 800 mm more than half of the subjects were unable to apply any measurable positive vertical force. The compressive force at the L5/S1 disc of four subjects was estimated using a static biomechanical model. The relationship between the disc pressure and the force exerted was largely in accordance with NIOSH guide values. The results are discussed in terms of differences in subject population and lifting technique. Comments on the applicability of the NIOSH standards internationally, are also presented.     

Automated construction of low-resolution, texture-mapped, class-optimal meshes

In this paper, we present a framework for the groupwise processing of a set of meshes in dense correspondence. Such sets arise when modeling 3D shape variation or tracking surface motion over time. We extend a number of mesh processing tools to operate in a groupwise manner. Specifically, we present a geodesic-based surface flattening and spectral clustering algorithm which estimates a single class-optimal flattening. We also show how to modify an iterative edge collapse algorithm to perform groupwise simplification while retaining the correspondence of the data. Finally, we show how to compute class-optimal texture coordinates for the simplified meshes. We present alternative algorithms for topologically symmetric data which yield a symmetric flattening and low-resolution mesh topology. We present flattening, simplification, and texture mapping results on three different data sets and show that our approach allows the construction of low-resolution 3D morphable models.     

Comparing cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses of residential mobility and migration

"A reevaluation of cross-sectional versus longitudinal models of residential mobility...casts doubt on the study by Davies and Pickles in 1985 in which it was argued that cross-sectional analysis is inadequate.... With the use of data from the [U.S.] Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), the conclusion of this reevaluation is that longitudinal analysis increases our understanding of the processes and provides a richer understanding of migration and mobility but does not undermine the work that has been produced from cross-sectional analysis."
