The four-step procedure of performing MSPM&C for chemical process, modeling of processes, detecting abnormal events or faults, identifying the variable(s) responsible for the faults and diagnosing the source cause for the abnormal behavior, is analyzed. Several main research directions of MSPM&C reported in the literature are discussed, such as multi-way principal component analysis (MPCA) for batch process, statistical monitoring and control for nonlinear process, dynamic PCA and dynamic PLS, and on-line quality control by inferential models. Industrial applications of MSPM&C to several typical chemical processes, such as chemical reactor, distillation column, polymerization process, petroleum refinery units, are summarized. Finally, some concluding remarks and future considerations are made.展开更多

The participants were 56 in total, studying in the academic year of 2014-2015 Spring Fall. The instruments used for collecting data were 16 lesson plans and the speaking and listening quiz results as post-tests. The data were statistically analyzed by mean, max, and min values of the scores. Teaching process and the lesson plans were recorded by researcher then presented in essay form. After the implementation and the post-tests, the participants' opinions about the task were collected as an interview. The results of the study showed that B1 groups did not get significant results from listening test and get nearly significant scores from speaking test while the listening and speaking results of BI+ groups through task-based learning after the implementations were highly significant, which shows that their participation in the task-based activities in the classroom reflected the results positively. Also the students' opinions about task-based learning and teaching activities were respectively positive. As a result, it can be said that task-based activities play a significant role in improving listening and speaking skills in EFL settings.展开更多

Researches concerning the learners' language learning strategies and learning styles have been conducted in different cultural backgrounds. However, comparatively speaking, there are few studies focusing on the relationship between language learning strategies and learning style preferences in English learning among Chinese students. This paper elaborates on the research questions and hypotheses according to the English Learning Questionnaire, which consists primarily of SILL (Strategy Inventory for Language Learning) (Oxford, 1990) and PLSP (Perceptual Learning Style Preference) Survey (Reid, 1987) to identify their English learning strategy uses and learning style preferences. Then, with statistical analysis (by SPSS (Statistical Product and Service Solutions)) of the results of the questionnaire, discussions are made on the correlation between learning strategies, learning style preferences, and their gender differences, followed by pedagogical implications for English teaching and learning in the university settings in China.展开更多

Methods: Immunohistochemical staining method was used to examine the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 of 121 cases of lung cancer and three control groups. The data were statistically analyzed. Results: Compared with the health group, cyclooxygenase-2 was over expressed in the inflammatory tissue(P = 0.036), lung adenocarcinoma(P = 0.005) and squamous carcinoma(P = 0.047). Compared with patients without lymph node metastasis, cyclooxygenase-2 was over expressed(P = 0.033) in patients with lymph node metastasis. Compared with high differentiation group, cyclooxygenase-2 was over expressed(P = 0.004) in low differentiation group. Compared with non-smokers, the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 increased in smokers(P = 0.000). The median survival time of patients that the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 were negative was 9 months(95% CI, 5.6–12.4 months). The median survival time of patients that the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 were positive was 5 months(95% CI, 3–7 months). They was statistical difference(P = 0.001). Conclusion: Overexpression of cyclooxygenase-2 is associated with pathological types, TNM stage, lymph node metastasis, degrees of differentiation, smoking and prognosis in lung cancer.展开更多

The contact model in clearance joint is established using a new hybrid nonlinear contact force model and the friction effect is considered by using a modified Coulomb friction model. The dynamics model of multibody system with clearance is established using dynamic segmentation modeling method and the computational process for wear analysis of clearance joint in multibody systems is presented. The main computational process for wear analysis of clearance joint includes two steps, which are dynamics analysis and wear analysis. The dynamics simulation of multibody system with revolute clearance joint is carried out and the contact forces are drawn and used to calculate the wear amount of revolute clearance joint based on the Archard's wear model. Finally, a four-bar multibody mechanical system with revolute clearance joint is used as numerical example application to perform the simulation and show the dynamics responses and wear characteristics of multibody systems with revolute clearance joint. The main results of this work indicate that the contact between the joint elements is wider and more frequent in some specific regions and the wear phenomenon is not regular around the joint surface, which causes the clearance size increase non-regularly after clearance joint wear. This work presents an effective method to predict wear of revolute joint with clearance in multibody systems.展开更多

Due to significant differences between Earth systems and engineering systems, the existing numerical algorithms and methods, which are designed for simulating realistic problems in the engineering fields, may not be straightforwardly used to simulate ore-generating problems without significant improvements. Thus, extensive and systematic studies have been conducted, in recent years, to develop new numerical algorithms and methods for simulating different aspects of ore-generating problems. Not only can the outcomes of these studies provide new simulation tools for better understanding the controlled dynamic mechanisms that take place in ore-generating systems, but also they have enriched the research contents of computational mechanics in the broad sense.展开更多
