Modeling the structural relationships among short-distance travel amounts,perceptions, affections,and desires

Using structural equation modeling, the relationships among travel amounts, perceptions, affections, and desires across five short-distance (one-way trips of less than 100 miles) travel categories (overall, commute, work/school-related, entertainment/social/recreation, and personal vehicle) are examined. The models are estimated using data collected in 1998 from more than 1300 working commuters in the San Francisco Bay Area. A cross-model analysis reveals three robust relationships, namely: (1) myriad measures of travel amounts work together to affect perceptions; (2) perceptions are consistently important in shaping desires; and (3) affections have a positive relationship with desires. The second finding suggests that two individuals who travel the same objective amount may not have the same desire to reduce their travel: how much individuals perceive their travel to be is important. The third point argues that the degree to which travel is enjoyed is a key determinant of shaping desires to reduce travel: the more travel is enjoyed, the less the desire to reduce it.     

无损磁力检测仪的制造

据全俄铁路运输科学研究院1996年编的关于轮对轮箍轮缘的磁极-等离子强化工艺手册中称:当强化道宽度达到40 mm时,则硬化层深度为1.5～2 mm.在磁极-等离子强化区内其金属组织所发生的变化为:硬度为750 HV的马氏体组织深度约0.3 mm;硬度为580～660 HV的屈氏体-马氏体混合组织深度约0.3～0.9 mm;硬度为480～580 HV的屈氏体组织深度约0.9～1.3 mm;硬度为360～450 HV的索氏体组织深度约1.3～2.0 mm.

Performance Index for a Preview Active Suspension Applied to a Quarter-Car Model

A simple and convenient matrix expression is derived for the performance index in the case of a linear vehicle model with two degrees of freedom and a preview active suspension, subject to a unit step road input and employing optimal control. The usual quadratic integral-type performance index is assumed and the effect of an additional form of constraint is described briefly. The effects of preview time on the performance index and the optimal feed-forward control are illustrated graphically for a particular example.     

提高电空制动机的可靠性

在机车车辆上采用电空制动机可以缩短制动距离,改善列车在制动过程中的动力作用.现有电空制动机的使用经验表明:其可靠性与现代要求相距甚远.其中原因之一是由于其控制件常常失灵导致电空制动机偏斜而引起不良后果.所以,为了保证列车运行安全,对电空制动机进行改进已成了特别迫切的任务.

软土地区盾构隧道下穿铁路干线引起的线路沉降规律分析

软土地区盾构隧道下穿铁路干线引起的上方铁路线路沉降规律与一般情况下盾构推进引起的地面沉降规律有较大的不同。基于某地铁隧道工程实例,对隧道下穿铁路的施工期及其后续阶段的线路沉降进行观测。根据观测数据,从沉降发展的时间历程、施工各阶段沉降量所占比例和地面沉降槽的特征3个方面进行了分析研究。结果表明:此类工程的地表沉降规律特点主要是后续沉降量在总沉降量中所占比例相当大,并且其沉降达到稳定需要的时间远比通常情况要长,最终沉降量的大小几乎完全由后续沉降决定;此外,其沉降变形槽的深度和广度也更大,而且后推进的隧道上方沉降尤为显著。

A generalized model of pelagic biogeochemistry for the global ocean ecosystem. Part II: Numerical simulations

This paper presents a global ocean implementation of a multi-component model of marine pelagic biogeochemistry coupled on-line with an ocean general circulation model forced with climatological surface fields (PELAgic biogeochemistry for Global Ocean Simulations, PELAGOS). The final objective is the inclusion of this model as a component in an Earth System model for climate studies. The pelagic model is based on a functional stoichiometric representation of marine biogeochemical cycles and allows simulating the dynamics of C, N, P, Si, O and Fe taking into account the variation of their elemental ratios in the functional groups. The model also includes a parameterization of variable chlorophyll/carbon ratio in phytoplankton, carrying chl as a prognostic variable. The first part of the paper analyzes the contribution of non-local advective–diffusive terms and local vertical processes to the simulated chl distributions. The comparison of the three experiments shows that the mean chl distribution at higher latitudes is largely determined by mixing processes, while vertical advection controls the distribution in the equatorial upwelling regions. Horizontal advective and diffusive processes are necessary mechanisms for the shape of chl distribution in the sub-tropical Pacific. In the second part, the results have been compared with existing datasets of satellite-derived chlorophyll, surface nutrients, estimates of phytoplankton community composition and primary production data. The agreement is reasonable both in terms of the spatial distribution of annual means and of the seasonal variability in different dynamical oceanographic regions. Results indicate that some of the model biases in chl and surface nutrients distributions can be related to deficiencies in the simulation of physical processes such as advection and mixing. Other discrepancies are attributed to inadequate parameterizations of phytoplankton functional groups. The model has skill in reproducing the overall distribution of large and small phytoplankton but tends to underestimate diatoms in the northern higher latitudes and overestimate nanophytoplankton with respect to picoautotrophs in oligotrophic regions. The performance of the model is discussed in the context of its use in climate studies and an approach for improving the parameterization of functional groups in deterministic models is outlined.
