为什么喷墨印刷还不成气候？

最近行业内在谈论的话题多是有关数码印刷的,特别是高速连续纸喷墨印刷。几乎所有的印刷展览会都要用喷墨这个词与它联系起来,例如喷墨的drupa和喷墨的IPEX。然而,现实的情况是,当高速连续纸喷墨印刷引发各种文章进行报道、招致大众浓厚兴趣的时候,你却很难说它在印刷市场中已经获得成功。至今已经安装的设备绝大多数都是用于票据印刷,使其从单色转成彩色。     

Compressive Creep Performance of SrFeO3

Compressive creep performance of strontium-deficient and strontium-excess SrFeO_3-δ materials has been investigated in the temperature range 800°–1000°C and in the stress range 2.5–25 MPa. The absolute densities of the strontium-deficient and strontium-excess materials are 4.99 and 5.25 g/cm³, respectively, which corresponds to porosities of ∼2% and 5%, respectively. Both materials contain secondary phases because of the cation nonstoichiometry. The creep rate is faster for the strontium-deficient material than the strontium-excess material. The stress exponent is approximately unity, and the activation energy is 260± 30 kJ/mol for both materials. The results can be explained by a cation diffusion mechanism. The present findings are discussed in relation to previous sintering data and the possible application of these materials as oxygen-permeable membranes.     

A pilot study of the efficacy of residuum lodges for managing sediment delivery to impoundment reservoirs

Residuum lodges comprise small dams constructed on feeder streams immediately before they enter a reservoir, behind which ponds form, where sediment is deposited. Despite their construction on many impoundment reservoirs (IRE) and catchwaters, little research has previously investigated their efficacy at removing sediments from feeder streams. The current pilot study has, therefore, been carried out at an IRE supplying Halifax, West Yorkshire, UK, where a residuum lodge was recently cleaned out. Sediment concentrations reaching the reservoir were reduced by up to 42% although no certain impacts were noted on the other water quality variables that were measured. Moreover, it was found that the clearance operation did not result in the release of excessive quantities of sediment into the reservoir. It was estimated that the cleared residuum lodge would take 12 years to refill. A survey of other residuum lodges in the Yorkshire region showed there to be considerable differences in their remaining capacities.     

A Parallelization Approach for Hard Real-Time Systems and Its Application on Two Industrial Programs

Applications in industry often have grown and improved over many years. Since their performance demands increase, they also need to benefit from the availability of multi-core processors. However, a reimplementation from scratch and even a restructuring of these industrial applications is very expensive, often due to high certification efforts. Therefore, a strategy for a systematic parallelization of legacy code is needed. We present a parallelization approach for hard real-time systems, which ensures a high reusage of legacy code and preserves timing analysability. To show its applicability, we apply it on the core algorithm of an avionics application as well as on the control program of a large construction machine. We create models of the legacy programs showing the potential of parallelism, optimize them and change the source codes accordingly. The parallelized applications are placed on a predictable multi-core processor with up to 18 cores. For evaluation, we compare the worst case execution times and their speedups. Furthermore, we analyse limitations coming up at the parallelization process.     

A method for evaluating rigor and industrial relevance of technology evaluations

One of the main goals of an applied research field such as software engineering is the transfer and widespread use of research results in industry. To impact industry, researchers developing technologies in academia need to provide tangible evidence of the advantages of using them. This can be done trough step-wise validation, enabling researchers to gradually test and evaluate technologies to finally try them in real settings with real users and applications. The evidence obtained, together with detailed information on how the validation was conducted, offers rich decision support material for industry practitioners seeking to adopt new technologies and researchers looking for an empirical basis on which to build new or refined technologies. This paper presents model for evaluating the rigor and industrial relevance of technology evaluations in software engineering. The model is applied and validated in a comprehensive systematic literature review of evaluations of requirements engineering technologies published in software engineering journals. The aim is to show the applicability of the model and to characterize how evaluations are carried out and reported to evaluate the state-of-research. The review shows that the model can be applied to characterize evaluations in requirements engineering. The findings from applying the model also show that the majority of technology evaluations in requirements engineering lack both industrial relevance and rigor. In addition, the research field does not show any improvements in terms of industrial relevance over time.     

Timoshenko精确法在悬臂梁适应性分析中的应用

利用有限元、小网格及其他数字技术求解端部加载悬臂梁的挠度及应力,这种方法证明了自适应程序的能力。但是在许多情况下,并没有符合这种精确求解方法的边界条件,因此影响了自适应程序的有效性。事实上,作为一个探索性的问题,这种精确解并不适用于自适应程序,因为完全精确的网格都是相同的。本文对此问题进行了讨论,强调了由于边界条件不匹配精确解而产生的一些错误,用一种更符合实际的悬臂梁模型与之做了对比;同时还讨论了程序的有效性。     

APACS: a system for the automatic analysis and classification of conceptual patterns

Many existing inductive learning systems have been developed under the assumption that the learning tasks are performed in a noise-free environment. To cope with most real-world problems, it is important that a learning system be equipped with the capability to handle uncertainty. In this paper, we first identify the various sources of uncertainty that may be encountered in a noisy problem domain. Next, we present a method for the efficient acquisition of classification rules from training instances which may contain inconsistent, incorrect, or missing information. This algorithm consists of three phases: ( i ) the detection of inherent patterns in a set of noisy training data; ( ii ) the construction of classification rules based on these patterns; and ( iii ) the use of these rules to predict the class membership of an object. The method has been implemented in a system known as APACS (automatic pattern analysis and classification system). This system has been tested using both real-life and simulated data, and its performance is found to be superior to many existing systems in terms of efficiency and classification accuracy. Being able to handle uncertainty in the learning process, the proposed algorithm can be employed for applications in real-world problem domains involving noisy data.

HIPed Tailored Hollandite Waste Forms for the Immobilization of Radioactive Cs and Sr

Hot isostatically pressed tailored hollandite waste forms were used to demonstrate the immobilization of Cs and Sr are separable from spent nuclear fuel, as well as Ba and Rb. Four hollandite formulations were investigated, two samples with ∼12 wt% waste loading (on an oxide basis) and two with ∼18 wt% waste loading. Two of the samples were Al-substituted and the other two contained Mg. The hollandite in the Al-substituted samples contained all the waste cations, as designed, but this was not the case in the Mg-substituted samples. The hollandite in the Mg-substituted samples did not contain all the waste cations, with ∼50% of the Sr forming SrTiO₃ as a secondary phase. This resulted in waste forms that were not as durable, with respect to Cs, as their Al counterparts. The formation of SrTiO₃ had little effect on the Sr release rates and was not detrimental to the Mg-substituted hollandite waste form. For the Al-substituted samples, the MCC-1 normalized release rates were <0.06 g·(m²·day)⁻¹ at 0–28 days for all elements, while the Cs release rates remained at 2.0 g·(m²·day)⁻¹ at 0–28 days for the Mg-substituted samples.
