Frames of Reference in Mobile Augmented Reality Displays.

In 3 experiments, the authors investigated spatial updating in augmented reality environments. Participants learned locations of virtual objects on the physical floor. They were turned to appropriate facing directions while blindfolded before making pointing judgments (e.g., "Imagine you are facing X. Point to Y"). Experiments manipulated the angular difference between the learning heading and the imagined heading and between the actual heading and the imagined heading. The effect of actual-imagined on pointing latency was observed for naive users but not for users with brief training or instructions concerning the fact that objects can move with body movements. The results indicated that naive users used an environment-stabilized reference frame to access information arrays, but with experience and instruction the nature of the representation changed from an environment stabilized to a body stabilized reference frame.

Design of a microstrip filter using multiple capacitively loaded coupled lines

A method to design a microstrip filter has been proposed. The multiple capacitively loaded coupled lines are adopted for the design of the microstrip filter. The filter shows different stopband behaviour with respect to even or odd total number of resonators. The transmission zeros may be located around the lower, higher or both regions of the passband's skirt. The coupling among the capacitively loaded lines can produce another transmission zero particularly in the higher stopband. A bandpass filter and a duplexer utilising these features are designed. The equivalent model is also proposed to illustrate the filter's coupling among these capacitively loaded coupled lines. The design has been verified by experimental results     

A branch-and-price algorithm to solve the molten iron allocation problem in iron and steel industry

The molten iron allocation problem (MIAP) is to allocate molten iron from blast furnaces to steel-making furnaces. The allocation needs to observe the release times of the molten iron defined by the draining plan of the blast furnaces and the transport time between the iron-making and steel-making stages. Time window constraints for processing the molten iron must be satisfied to avoid freezing. The objective is to find a schedule with minimum total weighted completion time. This objective reflects the practical consideration of improving steel-making efficiency and reducing operation cost caused by the need for reheating. Such a problem can be viewed as a parallel machine scheduling problem with time windows which is known to be NP-hard. In this paper, we first formulate the molten iron allocation problem as an integer programming model and then reformulate it as a set partitioning model by applying the Dantzig–Wolfe decomposition. We solve the problem using a column generation-based branch-and-price algorithm. Since the subproblem of column generation is still NP-hard, we propose a state-space relaxation-based dynamic programming algorithm for the subproblem. Computational experiments demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is capable of solving problems with up to 100 jobs to optimality within a reasonable computation time.     

普通热轧钢材的合理洁净度及生产工艺探讨

钢凝固前、后生成的非金属夹杂物形貌和在钢中的分布特点不同,凝固前生成的夹杂物尺寸较大,在钢中随机分布,主要影响钢材的疲劳强度和延性等性能。凝固后生成的夹杂物尺寸小,主要在晶界富集析出。硅锰脱氧钢脱氧后钢液仍含有20×10-6以上溶解氧,这部分溶解氧在钢凝固后绝大多数会转变为微细的氧化物或氧硫化物夹杂。钢凝固后生成的夹杂物主要影响钢材的冲击韧性、韧-脆转换温度等性能。 对热轧长型材用普碳钢和低合金钢不必采用铁水脱硫预处理,对热轧钢板用普碳钢可采用铁水轻度脱硫预处理,对热轧钢板用低合金高强度钢可采用铁水脱硫预处理、炼钢过程抑制回硫和出钢过程脱硫的工艺。对超低硫低合金钢,在钢水炉外精炼脱硫处理过程钢-渣间须维持非常低的氧势,炉渣成分应控制在CaO:SiO2:Al2O3=60％～65％:4％-8％:30％～35％范围。 普通热轧长型材用钢脱氧后溶解氧含量可放宽至(30-50)×10-6,对中、厚板钢溶解氧含量必须较严格控制,最好采用铝脱氧将溶解氧控制在较低的水平,并将T[O]含量控制在50×10-6以下。采用降低炼钢终点钢水氧含量、出钢挡渣、CAS和CAB等较简易炉外精炼方法和防止铸坯夹渣等措施,能够生产满足普通热轧钢洁净度要求的高品质钢材。

Integration of batching and scheduling for hot rolling production in the steel industry

This paper investigates the hot rolling production scheduling problem in the steel industry and proposes a new mixed integer programming model for this problem based on the monolithic modeling strategy that integrates batching and scheduling. Using this strategy, the new model can simultaneously schedule multiple turns and simultaneously determine the production timetable of these turns in a global optimal view. A long-term tabu search heuristic using frequency-based memory is developed to obtain near-optimal solutions for this problem. Three kinds of speed-up strategies are developed to accelerate the search procedure of the proposed tabu search. A practical scheduling system combining the proposed mathematical model and the tabu search heuristic has been developed and tested on instances collected from practical production data. The experimental results show that the proposed mathematical model and the tabu search heuristic outperform both the current manual scheduling method and the traditional serial method.

Child abuse in Hong Kong revisited after 15 years: characteristics of victims and abusers

The purpose of this paper was to examine the characteristics of the victims and abusers of child abuse cases on the Child Protection Registry in Hong Kong as of March 1995 and to compare findings with a similar community report of child abuse in Hong Kong conducted approximately 15 years earlier. As of March 31, 1995, there were 457 active cases of child abuse or suspected child abuse (44% male and 56% female) on the computerized Child Protection Registry. Fifty percent of the victims were grade school age children between 7-12, and 62.4% suffered physical abuse. The abusers or suspected abusers were 52% male and 48% female with nearly half (49%) in their thirties. The majority of abusers were married/cohabiting (75%) with only a grade school education (60%). As compared to 1979, there was an increase of sexual child abuse cases, female victims of child abuse, and an increase in male abusers or suspected abusers.
