A Computer integrated unified modelling approach to responsive manufacturing

Computer modelling approaches have significant potential to enable decision-making about various aspects of responsive manufacturing. In order to understand the system prior to the selection of any responsiveness strategy, multiple process segments of organisations need to be modelled. The article presents a novel systematic approach for creating coherent sets of unified enterprise, simulation and other supporting models that collectively facilitate responsiveness. In this approach, enterprise models are used to explicitly define relatively enduring relationships between (i) production planning and control (PPC) processes, that implement a particular strategy and (ii) process-oriented elements of production systems, that are work loaded by the PPC processes. Coherent simulation models, can in part be derived from the enterprise models, so that they computer execute production system behaviours. In this way, time-based performance outcomes can be simulated; so that the impacts of alternative PPC strategies on the planning and controlling historical or forecasted patterns of workflow, through (current and possible future) production system models, can be analysed. The article describes the unified modelling approach conceived and its application in a furniture industry case study small and medium enterprise (SME).

酸性矿山废水对底栖藻类的影响

酸性矿山废水中低的pH和高浓度的重金属对水生态系统影响巨大。依据"参照(Control)-受损(Impaired)-恢复(Recovery)"的设计方法,对高岚河受酸性矿山废水影响的河段、不受影响的河段及恢复河段进行对比分析。结果表明底栖藻类密度、叶绿素a浓度、无灰干重及自养指数等受酸性矿山废水影响明显,且枯水期酸性矿山废水的影响更显著。相关分析表明自养指数与各金属显著正相关而与pH值显著负相关,可以很好地指示矿山酸性废水对底栖藻类的影响。

高度特化等级裂腹鱼类分子系统发育与生物地理学

分析了分布于青藏高原及其邻近地区23个种和亚种36个群体高度特化等级裂腹鱼类的线粒体DNA细胞色素b序列,重建了系统发育关系.并采用地质隔离事件校正分支时间,估计了主要分支发生时间.结果发现,高度特化等级裂腹鱼类不是单系群,裸鲤属和裸裂尻属也不是单系群.全裸重唇鱼可能是特化类群向高度特化类群演化的过渡类型.高度特化等级裂腹鱼类的系统发育关系总体上反映了水系之间和地质历史的联系,即来自相同和相邻水系的物种通常具有更近的亲缘关系.估计的主要分支发生事件与青藏高原近晚地质时期强烈隆起有很好的一致性,表明高度特化

Finite element analysis of compressor disc heat transfer using the transient conduction method with sparse boundary collocation points

Surface temperature measurements from two discs of a gas turbine compressor rig are used as boundary conditions for the transient conduction solution (inverse heat transfer analysis). The disc geometry is complex, and so the finite element method is used. There are often large radial temperature gradients on the discs, and the equations are therefore solved taking into account the dependence of thermal conductivity on temperature. The solution technique also makes use of a multigrid algorithm to reduce the solution time. This is particularly important since a large amount of data must be analyzed to obtain correlations of the heat transfer. The finite element grid is also used for a network analysis to calculate the radiant heat transfer in the cavity formed between the two compressor discs. The work discussed here proved particularly challenging as the disc temperatures were only measured at four different radial locations. Four methods of surface temperature interpolation are examined, together with their effect on the local heat fluxes. It is found that the choice of interpolation method depends on the available number of data points. Bessel interpolation gives the best results for four data points, whereas cubic splines are preferred when there are considerably more data points. The results from the analysis of the compressor rig data show that the heat transfer near the disc inner radius appears to be influenced by the central throughflow. However, for larger radii, the heat transfer from the discs and peripheral shroud is found to be consistent with that of a buoyancy-induced flow.

A global model for effective use and evaluation of e-learning in health.

Healthcare systems worldwide face a wide range of challenges, including demographic change, rising drug and medical technology costs, and persistent and widening health inequalities both within and between countries. Simultaneously, issues such as professional silos, static medical curricula, and perceptions of "information overload" have made it difficult for medical training and continued professional development (CPD) to adapt to the changing needs of healthcare professionals in increasingly patient-centered, collaborative, and/or remote delivery contexts. In response to these challenges, increasing numbers of medical education and CPD programs have adopted e-learning approaches, which have been shown to provide flexible, low-cost, user-centered, and easily updated learning. The effectiveness of e-learning varies from context to context, however, and has also been shown to make considerable demands on users' motivation and "digital literacy" and on providing institutions. Consequently, there is a need to evaluate the effectiveness of e-learning in healthcare as part of ongoing quality improvement efforts. This article outlines the key issues for developing successful models for analyzing e-health learning.
