A review on some classes of algebraic systems

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we review some algebraic control system. Precisely, linear and bilinear systems on Euclidean spaces and invariant and linear systems on Lie groups. The fourth classes of systems have a common issue: to any class, there exists an associated subgroup. From this object, we survey the controllability property. Especially, from those coming from our contribution to the theory.     

Material design and development: From classical thermodynamics to CALPHAD and ICME approaches

This paper presents an overview and examples of material design and development using (1) classical thermodynamics; (2) CALPHAD (calculation of phase diagrams) modeling; and (3) Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) approaches. Although the examples are given in lightweight aluminum and magnesium alloys for structural applications, the fundamental methodology and modeling principles are applicable to all materials and engineering applications. The examples in this paper have demonstrated the effectiveness and limitations of classical thermodynamics in solving specific problems (such as nucleation during solidification and solid-state precipitation in aluminum alloys). Computational thermodynamics and CALPHAD modeling, when combined with critical experimental validation, have been used to guide the selection and design of new magnesium alloys for elevated-temperature applications. The future of material design and development will be based on a holistic ICME approach. However, key challenges exist in many aspects of ICME framework, such as the lack of diffusion/mobility databases for many materials systems, limitation of current microstructural modeling capability and integration tools for simulation codes of different length scales.     

赋权学生:混合式学习模式的应有之意——以通识类课程社会学的教学实践为例

工业化时代的传统教学模式已滞后于后福特主义生产模式对劳动者的需要。混合式学习模式在最近二十年发展起来,具有知识载体的多元化、知识获取的易得性,以及知识形式的丰富性等显著特征。在社会学的课程实践中,运用混合式学习模式,将赋权学生的教学理念融入课前、课中和课后三个阶段,精心的教学设计激发学生的主体意识,取得较好的教学效果。     

Molecular dynamics studies of a model polymer-catalyst-carbon interface

Classical molecular dynamics simulations are performed to obtain insights into structural and dynamical behavior of water and O₂ transport through a model polymer membrane, and at the interface of such hydrated polymer with graphite-supported nanocatalyst platinum particles. Water clustering is observed near the membrane hydrophilic sites constituted by sulfonic groups, which due to their affinity with platinum, are located near the metallic surface. It is found that the diffusion of water through the model hydrated polymer membrane depends strongly on the level of membrane hydration due to contribution from various mechanisms whose relative weights change with the degree of hydration. Possible scenarios for O₂ diffusion are also analyzed.     

主导社会范式变化的环境社会学分析

主导社会范式是变化的,而对它的变化原因的探讨很少,从环境社会学角度的分析就更少了。本文主要从主导社会范式的变化角度,通过对其变化的环境原因的思考,进行了广泛的环境社会学分析。得出了主导社会范式的变化主要是由环境的变化以及人们对这种环境变化做出以人为中心的反映而引起的,并在社会中有较为广泛的表现。体现在人们对社会的发展模式的争论上。启示人们要重视环境的变化对人类社会发展的重要影响。同时也要求人们在提出发展模式时要充分考虑到人与环境的协调发展。     

The Best Web Sites in Psychology and Sociology

Abstract

The World Wide Web offers a large and ever-expanding number of resources in the fields of psychology and sociology. Growth of the Web has been so fast that it has been difficult to keep track of all the new resources that are rapidly becoming available. With so many new Web sites cropping up, there is a growing need to sort through these resources and determine which sites are the most valuable for research in these subject areas. This study first discusses some criteria for assessing the quality of Web sites, and then applies these criteria to the Web sites currently available in an effort to determine which sites are the best for these two fields.     

动态描述逻辑的可拓集合扩展

通过对可拓集合与经典集合、模糊集合的分析比较,说明可拓集合的特点和优点,用可拓集合代替经典集合或模糊集合作为动态描述逻辑DDL的集合论基础,对DDL进行扩展,生成了一种新的描述逻辑DDES,并给出了DDLES中概念、关系和实例的描述形式以及它们的语义解释,最后对传统描述逻辑ALC、模糊DDL和DDES中的Abox形式进行了比较.

Making knowledge machine-processable: some implications of general semantic search

The central argument of this paper is that the design, implementation and use of technologies that underpin general semantic search have implications for what we know and the way in which knowledge is understood. Semantic search is an assemblage of technologies that most Internet users would use regularly without necessarily realising. Users of search engines implementing semantic search can obtain answers to questions rather than just retrieve pages that include their search query. This paper critically examines the design of the Semantic Web, upon which semantic search is based. It demonstrates that implicit in the design of the Semantic Web are particular assumptions about the nature of classification and the nature of knowledge. The Semantic Web was intended for interoperability within specific domains. It is here argued that the extension to general semantic search, for use by the general public, has implications for what type of knowledge is visible and what counts as legitimate knowledge. The provision of a definitive answer to a query, via the reduction of discursive knowledge into machine-processable data, provides the illusion of objectivity and authority in a way that is increasingly impenetrable to critical scrutiny.
