TL;DR: In this article, the adsorption of C12E4 molecules onto a fresh air−water interface was investigated by using video-enhanced pendant bubble tensiometry, and it was concluded that the adaption process is of diffusion control and the diffusion coefficient is 6.4 × 10-6 cm2/s.
Abstract: The adsorption of C12E4 onto a fresh air−water interface was investigated by using video-enhanced pendant bubble tensiometry. From the comparison between the equilibrium surface tension data and the theoretical relaxation profiles predicted by the Frumkin adsorption isotherm, the adsorption process was found to be anticooperative. Dynamic surface tension data for C12E4 molecules absorbing onto a freshly created air−water interface for different bulk concentrations were used for the determination of the controlling mechanism and the evaluation of diffusivity. Comparison was made for the entire relaxation period of the surface tension data and the model predictions. It is concluded that the adsorption process is of diffusion control and the diffusion coefficient is 6.4 × 10-6 cm2/s. The lower limit of the adsorption rate constant of C12E4 were obtained from the theoretical simulation. Besides, the pendant bubble, at which the interface had reached the equilibrium state, was expanded rapidly and a relationsh...

TL;DR: A new method to handle forecasting problems using high-order fuzzy logical relationships and automatic clustering techniques and shows that the proposed method gets a higher average forecasting accuracy rate than the existing methods.
Abstract: Fuzzy time series models have been widely used to handle forecasting problems, such as forecasting enrollments, temperature, and the stock index. If we can get better forecasting accuracy rates, then we can get more benefits. In this paper, we present a new method to handle forecasting problems using high-order fuzzy logical relationships and automatic clustering techniques. The proposed method uses the proposed automatic clustering algorithm to partition the universe of discourse into different lengths of intervals. We also apply the proposed method to forecast the enrollments of the University of Alabama, the temperature and the TAIFEX. The experimental results show that the proposed method gets a higher average forecasting accuracy rate than the existing methods.

TL;DR: This paper presents an integrated inventory model to minimize the sum of the ordering/setup cost, holding cost, quality improvement investment and crashing cost by simultaneously optimizing the order quantity, lead time, process quality and number of deliveries while the probability distribution of the lead time demand is normal.
Abstract: Nowadays supply chain management is a popular practice in manufacturing systems, and just-in-time (JIT) production plays a crucial role in supply chain environments. Companies are using JIT production to gain and maintain a competitive advantage. The characteristics of JIT systems are consistent high quality, small lot sizes, frequent delivery, short lead time, and close supplier ties. This paper presents an integrated inventory model to minimize the sum of the ordering/setup cost, holding cost, quality improvement investment and crashing cost by simultaneously optimizing the order quantity, lead time, process quality and number of deliveries while the probability distribution of the lead time demand is normal. This integrated inventory model is useful particularly for JIT inventory systems where the vendor and the purchaser form a strategic alliance for profit sharing.

TL;DR: In this article, a grid-based knowledge acquisition approach is proposed and a Mindtool is developed to help students organize and share knowledge for differentiating a set of learning targets based on what they have observed in the field.
Abstract: Previous studies have reported the importance and benefits of situating students in a real-world learning environment with access to digital-world resources. At the same time, researchers have indicated the need to develop learning guidance mechanisms or tools for assisting students to learn in such a complex learning scenario. In this study, a grid-based knowledge acquisition approach is proposed and a Mindtool is developed to help students organize and share knowledge for differentiating a set of learning targets based on what they have observed in the field. An experiment has been conducted in an elementary school Natural Science course for differentiating different species of butterflies. Forty-one fifth-grade students have been assigned to a control group and an experimental group to compare the effect of the conventional approach and that of the proposed approach. The experimental results show that the proposed approach not only improves students' learning achievements, but also significantly enhances their ability of identifying species in the field.

TL;DR: The self‐navigated phase‐correction capability of the PROPELLER EPI sequence was shown to be effective for in vivo imaging and a higher signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) compared to single‐shot EPI at an identical total scan time was achieved, which is advantageous for routine DTI applications in clinical practice.
Abstract: A technique suitable for diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) at high field strengths is presented in this work. The method is based on a periodically rotated overlapping parallel lines with enhanced reconstruction (PROPELLER) k-space trajectory using EPI as the signal readout module, and hence is dubbed PROPELLER EPI. The implementation of PROPELLER EPI included a series of correction schemes to reduce possible errors associated with the intrinsically higher sensitivity of EPI to off-resonance effects. Experimental results on a 3.0 Tesla MR system showed that the PROPELLER EPI images exhibit substantially reduced geometric distortions compared with single-shot EPI, at a much lower RF specific absorption rate (SAR) than the original version of the PROPELLER fast spin-echo (FSE) technique. For DTI, the self-navigated phase-correction capability of the PROPELLER EPI sequence was shown to be effective for in vivo imaging. A higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) compared to single-shot EPI at an identical total scan time was achieved, which is advantageous for routine DTI applications in clinical practice.
