However,most existing pertinent methods cannot generate convexity-preserving in-terpolating transcendental curves;even constructing convexity-preserving interpolating polynomial curves,it is required to solve a system of equations or recur to a complicated iterative process. The method developed in this paper overcomes the above draw-backs. The basic idea is:first to construct a kind of trigonometric polynomial curves with a shape parameter,and interpolating trigonometric polynomial parametric curves with C2(or G1) continuity can be automatically generated without having to solve any system of equations or do any iterative computation. Then,the convexity of the constructed curves can be guaranteed by the appropriate value of the shape parameter. Performing the method is easy and fast,and the curvature distribution of the resulting interpolating curves is always well-proportioned. Several numerical examples are shown to substantiate that our algorithm is not only correct but also usable.展开更多

Then we established a spatial data storage model, which has unified the data standards and achieved the management of spatial data and attribute database. Taking ArcGIS API for iOS as GIS platform, Xcode as the tool, we have realized the functions of data integration, data query, data statistics and fertilization recommendation, and constructed the management and service platform of mobile fertilization expert system.展开更多

Drawing on the theory of practice, we propose an ethnographic account of women's perception of workwear and their preferred alternative. The study presents a comparative perspective of attitudes, and perceptions about the workwear of women in South Africa and Uganda explored through the habitus. We present pro-vocal recollections of women perceptions on the current workwear ideal for men which omits women' body physique. In particular, from the current personal protective equipment (PPE), we examine "the overall" common attire at site and an integral part of the PPE. Overalls are designed following the men's physique, and women in work place are subjected to put them on yet, differences in body structure/shapes amongst women, namely, hour glass, bottom hourglass, spoon, and pear shape, are hardly considered. The identification of different female body shapes is made possible through the 3D anthropometric measurements using a Three Dimensional (3D) Body Scanner (TC2). We develop endogenous explanations of what women would want to see as workwear based on the understanding of women found on site in men's workwear or without any work weal- in South Africa and Uganda. Using ethnographic design approach, we capture voices of 10 women from South Africa and Uganda through participant observation and unstructured interviews. We analyze data thematically to determine the patterns of their responses toward an appropriate workwear. Moreover, we (re)construct these responses into possible design models that would be ideal workwear for women, which gives them the pride, respect, dignity, and confidence as women.展开更多

Centrifugal compressors are the key to part ofoil, gas and petrochemical industries as well as gas pipeline transports.
