However, how to effectively evaluate IAQ under different scale of multiple indicators is still a challenge. The traditional single-indicator method is subjected to uncertainties in assessing IAQ due to different subjectivity on good or bad quality and scalar differences of data set. In this study, a multilevel integrated weighted average IAQ method including initial walking through assessment(IWA) and two-layers weighted average method are developed and applied to evaluate IAQ of the laboratory building at the University of Regina in Canada. Some important chemical parameters related to IAQ in terms of volatile organic compounds(VOCs), methanol(HCHO), carbon dioxide(CO2), and carbon monoxide(CO) are evaluated based on 5 months continuous monitoring data. The new integrated assessment result can not only indicates the risk of an individual parameter, but also able to quantify the overall IAQ risk on the sampling site. Finally, some recommendations based on the result are proposed to address sustainable IAQ practices in the sampling area.展开更多

Monotone sequences, based on the ac- celerated monotone iterative method, are constructed for a nonlinear difference scheme which approximates the semilinear parabolic problem. This monotone convergence leads to the existence-uniqueness theorem. An analysis of uniform convergence of the monotone weighted average iterative method to the solutions of the nonlinear difference scheme and continuous problem is given. Numerical experiments are presented.展开更多

Six grades of biopolymers formulated to have oil content of 40% (M1), 50% (M2), and 60% (M3) melon seed oil (MESO) and 40% (C1), 50% (C2), and 60% (C3) cottonseed oil (COSO) respectively, were prepared with phthalic a...Six grades of biopolymers formulated to have oil content of 40% (M1), 50% (M2), and 60% (M3) melon seed oil (MESO) and 40% (C1), 50% (C2), and 60% (C3) cottonseed oil (COSO) respectively, were prepared with phthalic anhydride, and glycerol using alcoholysis-polycondensation process. The extend of polycondensation was monitored by determining the acid value of aliquots of the reaction mixture at various intervals of time. Molecular weight averages and polydispersity index (PDI) of the finished alkyds were determined by Rast method and end-group analysis. Molecular weight averages and PDI vary with differences in oil length of the alkyds, with samples M2 and C2 respectively exhibiting the highest PDI. Molecular weight average obtained from end-group analysis and those determined by Rast method in brackets are 1338.92 (597.00), 982.33 (696.25), 1316.09 (754.03), and 1160.57 (448.13), 765.96 (583.57), 1049.92 (696.25) for samples M1, M2, M3 and C1, C2, C3 respectively. Number molecular weight averages calculated from end-group analysis are larger than those obtained by Rast method for both MESO and COSO alkyds and seem to grossly overestimate their molecular weights. The mode of variation of these properties indicates that the synthesis of MESO and COSO alkyds are complex. Correlation of PDI with the quality of the finished alkyds shows that the higher the PDI value the better the quality of the alkyd. Performance properties such as rate of drying, film hardness and resistance to chemicals were optimum at 50% oil length for both triglyceride oil alkyds.展开更多

文摘为针对性地解决转炉炼钢作业时的消防安全问题,提出将熵权-最优最劣法(Best Worst Method,BWM)和物元可拓模型相结合的转炉车间火灾风险评估模型。通过将指标分为人、物料设备、环境、管理及消防设施5大类,构建转炉车间火灾风险评估指标体系;利用复合语言对35个指标进行评价,引入有序加权平均算子(Ordered Weighted Averaging,OWA)计算各语言的犹豫语言术语集(Hesitant Fuzzy Linguistic Term Set,HFLTS)模糊包络,再根据各专家权重进行加权计算并将语言量化构成评价矩阵;基于熵权、BWM分别算得各指标权重,再运用最小二乘法得到综合权重;最后利用物元可拓模型确定各指标及转炉车间的火灾风险等级。以河北省某炼钢转炉车间为例进行评估得出:该转炉车间的综合风险等级为I级(安全),其中动火监护的人员监管情况、氧枪法兰松紧度、炉前温度环境、作业现场物品摆放情况、作业巡查及设备检查情况和消防疏散通道堵塞情况仍需改善。
