Safety culture on board six Swedish passenger ships

This paper presents the results of a Swedish study on maritime safety culture. The study aims to increase knowledge about the characteristics of safety culture in the maritime setting and about the relationship between safety culture and organizational climate. Such knowledge can be vital in the process of developing and improving safety culture. The paper reports the results of safety culture assessments on board six Swedish passenger ships in international traffic, using observations, questionnaires, and interviews focussing on 508 employees who completed the questionnaires. The results of the assessments revealed a generally good existing safety culture. Differences in individuals' safety culture perceptions were found between ships, vessel type (high-speed craft versus Ropax), and hierarchical working position. Important relationships between organizational climate and safety culture were also found. A comparison with other transport sectors where the same safety culture assessment had been applied yielded that passenger shipping has an average safety culture score level that falls between air traffic control and airport ground handling. The method of assessment, which can be used by shipping companies and vessel crews, identified specific areas of concern in the safety culture that could support continuous improvements of safety and safety culture.     

构筑抵御融资风险的“铁三角”

2009年8月27日,一场令船东备感温暖的船舶融资研讨会在大连举行.短短两天的会程,一天半时间给了航运,造船企业,让这些有融资需求的企业与银行一对一地商讨融资合作.与此同时,会议的主办方,国家开发银行大连市分行和中国船级社大连分社,也在会上签订了新一轮的<开发性金融合作协议>.与会嘉宾表示,在产业与银行结合的过程中,正是有了中国船级社的大力支持,构筑了抵御船舶融资风险的银行、船级社、客户间的"铁三角",在减轻企业融资压力的同时,为中国金融资本的安全使用提供了保证.

Optimal scheduling of the flexray static segment based on two-dimensional bin-packing algorithm

FlexRay is a reliable and hard real-time in-vehicle communication protocol that is strongly promoted by car manufacturers as the de facto standard in the automotive domain. The protocol offers both a time-triggered and an eventtriggered architecture. This paper focuses on the optimal scheduling of the time-triggered component of FlexRay known as the static (ST) segment using a two-dimensional bin-packing technique. To maximize the bandwidth utilization in the ST segment, a fast heuristic as well as an efficient integer linear programming approach are proposed. Our methods directly schedule signals into slots including frame packing, according to signal-based data scheduling and the slot/ cycle multiplexing mechanisms presented by the latest version of the FlexRay protocol. The benefits of our proposed methods are demonstrated by extensive experiments on synthetic and an automotive X-by-wire system case study. An additional test case is examined to emphasize the superior performance of the proposed approach relative to that of existing optimal scheduling approaches.     

商用车试制PT至SOP快速验证方法研究

目前商用车的开发主要分为骡子车试制、工程试制和试生产几个阶段,与乘用车不同,商用车存在车型配置繁多,而且不同的配置之间可能会对整车在底盘的布置产生影响,进而影响整车在量产线的通过性,因此有必要在PT(工程试制)和SOP(试生产)阶段间加一个验证阶段,文章首先介绍了PT转SOP试制线的布局及工艺编排,然后对PT转SOP快速试制验证流程进行了介绍,最后对PT转SOP量产通过性的判断指标进行了说明,对PT车型如何更好的过渡到量产,减少量产线的停线及线下返工具有一定的参考意义。     

论轮机英语词汇的特点及认知策略

在轮机英语词汇的学习过程中，同遗忘做斗争的主要问题是词汇记忆的编码或组织问题。针对轮机英语词汇科技术语多，缩略语多、复合词多等特点，本论文提出在学和教的两方面应采取积极的认知策略。其中精加工策略、组织策略和恰当的复习策略有助于建立稳固的长时记忆编码，从而促进轮机英语词汇知识的保持和巩固。
