Design/methodology/approach: The experimental dataset contains 8,949 queries of 582 users from 3,483 search sessions. A sequential comparison of the Jaccard similarity coefficient between two adjacent search queries and hierarchical clustering of queries is used to identify search tasks. Findings: (1) Users issued a similar number of queries (1.43 to 1.47) with similar lengths (7.3-7.6 characters) per task in mono-tasking and multi-tasking sessions, and (2) Users spent more time on average in sessions with more tasks, but spent less time for each task when the number of tasks increased in a session. Research limitations: The task identification method that relies only on query terms does not completely reflect the complex nature of consumer shopping behavior.Practical implications: These results provide an exploratory understanding of the relationships among multiple shopping tasks, and can be useful for product recommendation and shopping task prediction. Originality/value: The originality of this research is its use of query clustering with online shopping task identification and analysis, and the analysis of product search session characteristics.展开更多

Due to the correlation and diversity of the single performance indexes,statistical principles of linear dimension reduction and nonlinear dimension reduction are introduced into comprehensive performance analysis and evaluation for typical serial robot. The robotic mechanism's configuration,scales and task with the best comprehensive performance can be obtained by principal component analysis( PCA) and kernel principal component analysis( KPCA) respectively. The results show that KPCA can reveal the nonlinear relations among different single performance indexes more effectively and provide more comprehensive performance information than PCA. Thus,task-oriented method of serial robot for mechanism analysis and evaluation is proposed,which also provides scientific research basis for the mechanism synthesis and optimum task order.展开更多

In addition, a prototype system is developed to use this method for the assessment of pilot workload. The method breaks the pilot's mission into several phases, segments, functions and tasks. And break pilot workload into 6 components using Wickens' 'multi-resource theory', which are vision(V), vision goggles(G), auditory sensation(A), cognitive activity(C), psychomotor activity(P) and kinesthesis(K). All missions consist of those tasks and each task have 6 workload components. The workload components for each task have been acquired by a study on many pilots, so workload can be assessed. A mission analysis database is built, and the prototype system can simulate pilot's flight process and evaluate workload.展开更多

Vertical Ground Reaction Forces (VGRF) acquired from underneath the heel and toes of both feet are processed and analyzed for that endeavor. The subjects underwent three levels of tasks: 1) Single task: Walking at self-selected-speed (MS), 2) Dual task: Walking while performing a verbal fluency task (MF) and 3) Complex Dual task: Walking while counting backwards (MD).The ultimate objective of our research is fall prediction among the elderly by characterizing the variation of time-domain feature of Gait signals. For that, walking VGRF is analyzed and tested for the existence of indicators of the effect of dual task on subject falling susceptibility, whether parametric or pattern-wise analysis. As a result to our work, dual task in Fallers VGRF signals were recognized at 74% while at those non-fallers were recognized at 85%. Most importantly, subjects with history of fall have shown more potential to change the way they walk while performing mathematical cognitive task.展开更多

Results showed that the fine γ' particles were precipitated in the γ matrix channels during the tensile deformation of the alloy. Thermodynamics analysis indicated that the solubility of elements M(Al,Ta) within the γ matrix may be changed when the alloy was deformed by the external applied stress. The tensile stress reduced the solubility of elements Al and Ta so as to occur the over-saturation and agglomeration of them, which promoted the precipitation of fine γ'-phase in the γ matrix.展开更多

So, it is necessary to join Al MMCs with Ti metal to achieve this structural design. In this work, in-situ Ti B_(2)/7050 composite and TA2 were firstly attempted to join by TIG welding-brazing technique. The result was that the intact welding-brazing butt joint was successfully fabricated. The joint presents dual characteristics, being a brazing on TA2 side and a welding on Ti B_(2)/7050 side. At brazing joint side, ER4043 filler metal effectively wets on TA2 under TIG heating condition,and a continuous interfacial reaction layer with 1 e3 mm is formed at welded metal/TA2 interface. The whole interfacial reaction layers are composed of Ti(Al Si)3 intermetallic compounds(IMCs), but their morphologies at the different regions present obvious distinguishes. The microhardness of the reaction layers is as much as 141 e190 HV. At welding joints side, the fusion zone appears the equixaed crystal structure, and the grain sizes are much smaller than those of welded metal, which is attributed to the effect of Ti B2 particulates from the melted Ti B_(2)/7050 on acceleration formation and inhibiting growth for the new crystal nucleus. The tensile test results show that average tensile strength of the optimal welding-brazing joint is able to achieve 138 MPa. The failure of the tensile joint occurs by quasi-cleavage pattern, and the cracks initiate from the IMCs layer at the groove surface of TA2 and propagate into the welded metal.展开更多

The whole interfacial reaction layers are composed of Ti(Al Si)3 intermetallic compounds(IMCs), but their morphologies at the different regions present obvious distinguishes. The microhardness of the reaction layers is as much as 141 e190 HV. At welding joints side, the fusion zone appears the equixaed crystal structure, and the grain sizes are much smaller than those of welded metal, which is attributed to the effect of Ti B2 particulates from the melted Ti B_(2)/7050 on acceleration formation and inhibiting growth for the new crystal nucleus. The tensile test results show that average tensile strength of the optimal welding-brazing joint is able to achieve 138 MPa. The failure of the tensile joint occurs by quasi-cleavage pattern, and the cracks initiate from the IMCs layer at the groove surface of TA2 and propagate into the welded metal.

文摘On the basis of combing domestic and foreign related literature and research practice,the influence mechanism of the construction of new liberal arts was analyzed,and the fundamental tasks of the construction of new liberal arts in Tibet were summarized.Based on 173 field questionnaires in Tibet,factor analysis was used to conduct empirical analysis.It is found that the cumulative contribution of the first,second,third and fourth common factor was 24.921%,21.742%,17.331%,and 14.206%,respectively.Professional orientation,the reform of talent training mode,teacher ability,quality and level of the teaching team,curriculum system reform,teaching content reform,education training service,and other evaluation indicators are the key points of the construction of new liberal arts.The research conclusion is that the construction of new liberal arts needs to highlight the"three positions";it is needed to plan and promote various resources to focus on the ability and level of professional teachers’social services;the managers and professional teachers should be the leaders and participants of the innovation of the talent training model respectively.Finally,relevant policy recommendations were put forward.
