Optimization Algorithms for Fully Automatic Optimizing Cross-cut Saw

The optimization of boards by grades plays an important role in the production for cross cutting boards, and the outturn rate and utilization of boards are directly affected by the optimization results of boards by grades. At present, the OptiCut series fully automatic optimizing cross-cut saw（FAOCCS） from Germany Weinig Group occupies the main markets in the world, but no report about the relative theories on the optimization technology and its algorithms is available. There exist some disadvantages in woodworking machinery and equipment used for cross cutting boards in China, for example, low sawing precision, outturn rate of boards and productivity, and difficulty in making statistics on the sawing results. Three optimization modes are presented for the optimization algorithms for FAOCCS, namely, optimization of fixed length, optimization of finger-jointed lumber and mixed optimization. Mathematical models are then established for these three optimization modes, and the corresponding software for realizing the optimization is prepared. Finally, Synthetic evaluation on the established mathematical models is presented through three practical examples. The results of synthetic evaluation indicate that FAOCCS using the optimization modes may raise the outturn rate of boards approximately 8% and the productivity obviously, and allows accurate statistics on the cross cut products of boards. The mathematical models of above three optimization modes are useful for increasing the outturn rate and utilization ratio of boards.

Evolution characteristics of precursor information of coal and gas outburst in deep rock cross‑cut coal uncovering

As mines become deeper,the potential for coal and gas outbursts in deep rock cross-cut coal uncovering is enhanced.The outburst precursors are unclear,which restricts the effectiveness and reliability of warning systems.To reveal the evolution characteristics of coal and gas outburst precursor information in deep rock cross-cut coal uncovering,briquette specimens are constructed and experiments are conducted using a self-developed true triaxial outburst test system.Using acoustic emission monitoring technology,the dynamic failure of coal is monitored,and variations in the root mean square(RMS)of the acoustic emissions allow the effective cracking time and effective cracking gas pressure to be defined.These characteristics are obviously different in deep and shallow coal.The characteristic parameters of gas outburst exhibit stepwise variations at different depths.The RMS and cumulative RMS have stepped failure characteristics with respect to changes in gas pressure.The characteristic parameters of coal failure are negatively correlated with the average in-situ stress and effective stress,but positively correlated with the lateral pressure coefficient of in-situ stress and the critical gas pressure.The transition characteristics are highly sensitive in all cases.The critical depth between deep and shallow coal and gas outbursts is 1700 m.The expansion multiple of acoustic emission intensity from the microfracture stage to the sharp-fracture stage of coal is defined as the outburst risk index,N1.For depths of 1100–1700 m,N1≥7 denotes a higher risk of outburst,whereas at depths of 1700–2500 m,N1≥3 indicates enhanced risk.

Didactics of Languages:Implementing Dynamic Exchanges and Enhancing the Potential of Creativity in a Mentoring Context

Group dynamics is applied not only in the professional life but also in the educational framework becoming one of the tools of group therapy aiming at reducing conflicts and tensions.Under this perspective it would be interesting to study the dynamic exchanges that take place within the interrelations of the facilitator with his target group aiming at further exploiting the cognitive and affective resources of the participants in order to manage their potential more effectively and to accompany them in any training situation.From an actional perspective the adoption of collaborative tasks promotes cooperation and problem solving in a mentoring context,where the members invest in the realization of a meaningful action project in order to implement creative tasks and cultivate transversal skills using digital technology.
