Developing competency-based methods for near-real-time air combat problem solving assessment

Air combat scenarios present unique problems where the solution is not obvious. An advanced networked simulation environment can be used to train high-level cognitive air combat skills such as problem solving. A problem in the development of principled and construct oriented assessment is related to determining the level of specificity of the assessment. We present a detailed discussion of the definition of critical competencies associated with combat mission problem solving performance, and we describe our approach to develop and implement an embedded performance assessment system that maps outcomes to these competencies. Finally, we discuss the implications for our approach for comprehensive assessment and discuss our goals for an evaluation of the competency-based approach to assessment.     

磁悬浮硬盘转子控制系统中时序电路测试技术

为提高磁悬浮硬盘转子控制系统的可靠性，提出了对时序芯片的测试方法：手工测试和计算机辅助测试；及时时序电路逻辑功能的两种检测技术；基于状态表的测试技术和自动检测技术。对于时序芯片，手工测试方法效率较低，计算机辅助测试方法适用范围更广；对于电路逻辑功能，基于状态表的测试技术操作相对困难，但无须增加额外测试电路；自动检测技术操作简单，且测试速度快，但需要增加辅助检测电路。时序电路测试技术对保证悬浮硬盘转子各组成部分协同工作十分重要。     

Effects of Plasmodium berghei infection on arteether metabolism and disposition

Arteether (AE) is primarily deethylated to dihydroqinghaosu (DQHS) in rats and humans. Conversion of AE to DQHS was impaired in microsomes from rats infected with Plasmodium berghei. The Km for AE was 175.1 +/- 49.1 and 124.4 +/- 115.1 mumol/l, and Vmax was 2.24 +/- 0.45 and 1.22 +/- 0.67 nmol AE formed/mg protein/min in control and infected microsomes (p < 0.05), respectively. Calculated intrinsic clearance (CLint = initial Vmax/Km) for AE was only 4% lower in infected microsomes. Apparent pharmacokinetic parameter estimates for AE using the isolated perfused rat liver demonstrated no differences (p > 0.05) in volume of distribution, clearance, and half-life between normal and infected animals. Malaria infection resulted in decreased biliary excretion of free AE and DQHS. The majority of AE is eliminated via biliary excretion of conjugated DQHS, which is approximately 500-fold higher than free DQHS and 75-fold higher than free AE on a molar basis.

简介剪切带扩展法（SBP）的原理及其在海底滑坡稳定性分析的应用;以舟山六横岛典型海底斜坡为分析案例,开展基于高斯函数的SBP和极限平衡法（LEM）斜坡稳定性对比分析研究;进行SBP输入参数对剪切带扩展系数R的敏感度分析. 研究结果显示,对于斜坡剪切带破坏长度,当剪切带扩展系数R不大于1时,LEM与SBP得到的滑坡滑裂面区域一致,当R大于1时,SBP计算得到的最终滑动区域比LEM计算得到的区域大;在斜坡发生滑动破坏区域SBP比LEM计算得到的安全系数低;地震影响因素和土体特征位移对R的影响较大.

Extra back-off flow control in multi-hop wireless networks

CSMA is the predominant distributed access protocol for wireless mesh networks. Originally designed for single-hop settings, CSMA can exhibit severe performance problems in multi-hop networks in terms of stability and end-to-end throughput. To ensure a smoother flow of packets, we examine an enhancement referred to as Extra Back-off (EB) flow control. In this enhanced scheme a node remains silent for a certain extra back-off time (imposed on top of the usual back-off time that is part of CSMA) after it has transmitted a packet, to give both the downstream and upstream neighbors the opportunity to transmit. EB flow control entails only a small modification to CSMA, preserving its distributed character. In order to examine the performance of EB flow control, we analyze a novel class of Markov models at the interface between classical tandem queues and interacting particle systems. The results demonstrate that EB flow control provides an effective mechanism for improving the end-to-end throughput performance.
