Fodor and Pylyshyn on connectionism

Fodor and Pylyshyn (1988) have argued that the cognitive architecture is not Connectionist. Their argument takes the following form: (1) the cognitive architecture is Classical; (2) Classicalism and Connectionism are incompatible; (3) therefore the cognitive architecture is not Connectionist. In this essay I argue that Fodor and Pylyshyn's defenses of (1) and (2) are inadequate. Their argument for (1), based on their claim that Classicalism best explains the systematicity of cognitive capacities, is an invalid instance of inference to the best explanation. And their argument for (2) turns out to be question-begging. The upshot is that, while Fodor and Pylyshyn have presented Connectionists with the important empirical challenge of explaining systematicity, they have failed to provide sufficient reason for inferring that the cognitive architecture is Classical and not Connectionist.     

贵州省枯季径流特性初步分析

在无资料地区以降水径流法推求径流资料系列时,除了要有年径流统计参数外,还应有其枯季径流和最枯月径流的有关指标,而由于受气候、下垫面条件(地形、植被、岩溶等)差异的影响,各地枯季径流特性各异。本文通过贵州省86个县、市、区气象站及45个水文站(控制集水面积由几十~上万km2)建站至今的实测资料分析,得出了贵州省各个地区枯季的时段、各站枯季径流统计参数、最小月径流模数和多年平均最小日均流量模数的关系,对了解贵州省的枯季径流特性和在无资料地区径流设计中都具有参考价值。     

Prediction of spectral reflectance factor distribution of automotive paint finishes

It is necessary to determine the accurate reflectance of painted surfaces for the review of paint finishes by computer graphics (CG) before actual painting of the exterior color of automobiles, and for quality control during production and inspection processes. We have optimized a method for measuring reflectance by using a statistical technique. We have found that the reflectance of a painted surface is best measured at an incident angle of 60° and at five aspecular angles of 10°, 18°, 28°, 40°, and 90°. Our method makes it possible to accurately reproduce reflection characteristics of paint finishes containing special flake pigments, such as pearl mica. Also it was proved that our method can apply not only to solid and metallic coatings but to all painted surfaces. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

传感器网络中基于二元簇的节能路由算法

传感器网络中的分簇算法已经被证明能够有效地节约能量。据此提出了一种基于二元簇的路由算法,其基本思想是网络中的每个节点同时属于2个不同簇,利用二元性来减少在路由发现中的资源浪费,并能够更加确定地发现路由以节约资源。理论分析和模拟实验都表明,该算法在能量消耗和网络生命周期延长方面较优。

龙滩工程左岸进水口大坝混凝土快速施工工艺

龙滩水电站左岸进水口大坝集挡水和取水为一体,坝体结构复杂,且4个标段同时施工,相互严重干扰,生产极不均衡,其施工位于控制发电工期的关键线路上。通过合并固结灌浆、采用“先浇板”、增设纵缝和补充混凝土入仓手段等办法,优化了施工工艺,增加了浇筑强度,创造了在狭小空间单日浇筑混凝土5 400 m3、单月浇筑11.7万m3的记录,达到了坝体快速施工的目的。     

贯流式水轮发电机集电环短路原因分析及改善措施

白石窑水电厂1～4号发电机组在投运初期,集电环曾多次出现绝缘降低甚至短路的非正常现象。通过分析,引发故障的原因主要是碳刷架、集电环绝缘结构设计欠妥、运行环境恶劣以及机组的振动过大。针对上述原因,改进了绝缘结构设计上的不足,加强巡视和维护检查,装设工业电视监控,加装碳粉回收装置,对受油器进行防漏油或喷油技术处理,加强清污力度、提高发电水头以便减少机组振动,从内外因加以防范和改善后,问题得到了标本兼治,取得了理想的效果。     

小浪底水库坝前漏斗区泥沙测验分析

小浪底水库坝前漏斗区的形成和发展,直接影响到枢纽建筑物的安全运行。为了保持塔前“门前清,”掌握坝前漏斗区的形成和发展,保证水库进入拦沙后期和正常运用期的正常运用,对坝前漏斗区进行了泥沙测验分析。结果表明:目前漏斗区范围内纵向坡度较缓,尚没有明显的漏斗形成,仅在坝前和塔前200m×1000m范围形成了漏斗雏形。
