Therefore, our research mainly focuses on the problems of function allocation between man and machine in man-machine systems, analyses each capability advantage of man and machine according to their respective inherent characteristics and makes a comparison between them. In view of highly uncertain characteristics of decision attribute value in the practical process, we introduce the uncertain linguistic multiple attribute decision making （ULMADM） method in the function allocation process. Meanwhile, we also use the uncertain extended weighted arithmetic averaging （UEWAA） method to determine the automation level range of the operator functions. Then, we eventually estab- lish the automation level of man-machine function allocation by using the multi-attribute decision making algorithm, which is combined by UEWAA and uncertain linguistic hybrid aggregation （ULHA） operators. Finally, an example about function allocation is given, that is, fault diagnosis in the cockpit of civil aircraft. The final result of the example demonstrates that the proposed method about function allocation is feasible and effective.展开更多

In this study, an environmentally friendly composite coating was prepared by combing modified expanded graphite(EAG) with nano zinc oxide(ZnO). This coating showed superhydrophobic surface and good corrosion resistance. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FITR), X-ray diffraction(XRD),and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) were used to characterize the materials in fabricating process of the coating. The properties of three composite coatings(ZnO,EAG, and EAG@ZnO) were analyzed, including surface roughness, water contact angle, corrosion resistance, selfcleaning and anti-fouling. The combination of ZnO and EAG caused a big water contact angle, leading superhydrophobic surface of the composite coatings. The electrochemical results showed that the superhydrophobic EAG@ZnO coating had a larger capacitive arc diameter and charge transfer resistance, indicating the enhanced anti-corrosion resistance. Meanwhile, the EAG@ZnO coating also showed good self-cleaning and anti-fouling performance according to solid and liquid pollutants tests.In addition, the mechanical properties and stability of the superhydrophobic EAG@ZnO coatings were evaluated by knife peeling and finger scratch tests. In summary, these superhydrophobic and anti-fouling EAG@ZnO composite coatings provide a potential application in marine corrosion and protection field.展开更多

A pretreatment including fluoride activation was applied before the anodizing process. It was found that the anodic film thickness increases as current density or anodizing voltage increases. It is also increased with deposition time until the deposition stops due to the formation of a thick anodic film. Optimization of the anodizing conditions - current density and deposition time- was made for each electrolyte. Characterization of anodizing layer was achieved by determination of surface morphology, microstructure, phase analysis, coat thickness, adhesion and corrosion resistance. In all cases, excellent adhesion and corrosion resistance was obtained. A corrosion efficiency ranging from 94% to 97% was reached;the highest value corresponding to the third electrolyte.展开更多

Fertigation is proposed as a panacea to this dilemma, which by this practice reaffirms the principles of 4Rs which are the right source, at the right rate, right time and right place. The aim of this study was to explore constraints and opportunities for its application in developing countries for environmentally friendly fertilizers application. It is a review of literature from government reports, legislature and published material on fertilization and irrigation initiatives of developing countries which include Rwanda, Nepal, Suriname, Zambia, Panama, Tanzania, Sri Lanka and South Sudan in addition to the case presented of China during the “2016 Environmentally Friendly Fertilizer Production, Application and Demonstration from Developing Countries” training course. The study found that in developing countries there is potential to apply fertigation as a way of environmentally friendly fertilizers application as it has been adopted in China. These opportunities include the following: Abundant natural resources like land and water, less polluted environment, conducive agricultural policies, zero duties levied on imported irrigation equipment. However, a number of limitations also are highlighted including: Lack of investment, lack of infrastructure, lack of information, requires expertise on plant nutrition and management of fertigation system, require soil analysis and proper interpretation which is done by experts. This study provides relevant information for fertigation planning and application in respective developing countries.展开更多

文摘A series of acetate ionic liquids were synthesized using a typical two‐step method.The ionic liquids were used as environmentally benign catalysts in the production of propylene glycol ethers from propylene oxide and alcohols under mild conditions.The basic strengths of the ionic liquids were evaluated by determination of their Hammett functions,obtained using ultraviolet‐visible spectroscopy,and the relationship between their catalytic activities and basicities was established.The catalytic efficiencies of the ionic liquids were higher than that of the traditional basic catalyst NaOH.This can be attributed to the involvement of a novel reaction mechanism when these ionic liquids are used.A possible electrophilic‐nucleophilic dual activation mechanism was proposed and confirmed using electrospray ionization quadrupole time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry.In addition,the effects of significant reaction parameters such as concentration of catalyst,molar ratio of alcohol to propylene oxide,reaction temperature,and steric hindrance of the alcohol were investigated in detail.

文摘Objective:This study aims to examine the effects of a community-based friendly health clinic(CFHC)program that adopts manual participatory learning(MPL)intervention on the adolescents living in the rural and urban areas of Indonesia to gain further insights into their knowledge,attitudes,and skills related to adolescent reproductive health(ARH).Methods:A quasi-experimental design was used to obtain information on the ARH knowledge,attitudes,and skills of adolescents.Two intervention studies that used similar protocols and measures were conducted.A total of 192 adolescents(96 adolescents from urban and rural areas)participated in the project,and the participants from each area were divided into eight groups.A questionairre was adopted to measure the ARH knowledge,attitudes,and skills of these participants.A content analysis of the logbook entries of these respondents was conducted to identify their ARH-related problems.The questionnairre and self-reported ARH data were collected before and after the eight-week program.Results:The CFHC program significantly increased the ARH attitudes(p=0.045)and skills(p=0.009)of adolescents in the rural area,but only improved the ARH knowledge(p<0.001)of adolescents in both rural and urban areas.Fourteen themes were identified in three dominant categories,namely,schools,families,and communities.Conclusions:The CFHC with MPL intervention can improve the ARH knowledge,attitudes,and skills of adolescents in the rural area,but can only improve the ARH knowledge of adolescents in the urban area.The ARH program must be designed based on the characterictics of these adolescents to improve their life skills during puberty.
