Irreducibility testing over local fields

The purpose of this paper is to describe a method to determine whether a bivariate polynomial with rational coefficients is irreducible when regarded as an element in , the ring of polynomials with coefficients from the field of Laurent series in with rational coefficients. This is achieved by computing certain associated Puiseux expansions, and as a result, a polynomial-time complexity bound for the number of bit operations required to perform this irreducibility test is computed.

子孔径拼接技术在大口径高陡度非球面检测中的应用

 为了能够精确地完成对大口径高陡度非球面在细磨和抛光过程中的测量，提出了一种将子孔径拼接技术和补偿技术相结合的检测方法。介绍了该方法的基本原理，建立了合理的数学模型，编制了拼接计算软件。利用该方法对一外形尺寸为400 mm×300 mm的高次离轴非球面进行了测试，通过最小二乘法拟合消去各子孔径相对基准子孔径的调整误差以及整个系统的装调定位误差，得到了准确的全孔径面形分布。对实验精度和误差来源进行了分析，并将拼接面形与全孔径测量面形相对比，二者是一致的。     

Collimation testing using a circular Dammann grating

A novel technique for collimation testing with a circular Dammann grating is proposed. When the beam under test is incident on a one-order circular Dammann grating with limited aperture, double-humped radial rings will be generated at the back focal plane of a focusing lens. If the beam is collimated, the separation between the two rings will reach its minimal, otherwise the two rings will be apart from each other. Therefore, the degree of collimation of the tested beam can be estimated from the separation. The principle and experimental results of the method are presented. Owing to the simplicity and low cost of the method, it is a promising method for quickly checking the collimation of a laser beam.

Economy of proficiency testing: reference versus consensus values

Many proficiency tests are operated with a consensus value derived from the participants’ results. Apart from technical issues, one of the reasons often mentioned is that proficiency tests operated with consensus values would be cheaper than those using reference values obtained from a priori characterisation measurements. The economy of a proficiency test must of course be balanced by the need of the participants, and the quality of the comparison in general. The proficiency tests selected in this study had both a reference value and a consensus value, one of which was used for assessing the performance of the participating laboratories. In this work, both a technical and an economical assessment of how the comparisons were operated is made. From the evaluation, it follows that usually the use of consensus values does not necessarily reduce the costs of a proficiency test. However, frequently it may be observed that the quality of the assessment of the laboratories is better with a reference value. Received: 11 October 2000 Accepted: 3 January 2001     

Microbiological proficiency testing: a personal perspective

The author considers the fundamental differences between analyses in microbiology and those in chemistry and physics, deducing special issues for microbiological proficiency testing. He concludes that the variability and uncertainty implicit in microbiological analysis requires a broader range of proficiency scheme providers providing a broader range of services than in chemistry and physics.

Nanoscratch-induced deformation behaviour in B4C particle reinforced ultrafine grained Al alloy composites: a novel diagnostic approach

We report on the novel application of nanoscratch characterization to provide insight into the plasticity mechanisms responsible for the behaviour of composites. Accordingly, we conduct deformation characterization with nanoscratch testing (DCNT) to study the deformation behaviour of two B₄C reinforced ultrafine grained Al alloy tri-modal composites with average B₄C particle sizes of ~1–6?μm and ~500?nm, respectively. To highlight the type of mechanistic information revealed in a DCNT study of composites, we concentrate on the influence of B₄C particle size on deformation mechanisms.     

开源教学平台的可用性研究——以Sakai为例

越来越多的国内外高校开始考虑使用基于开源软件的网络教学平台,在投入使用之前,开源教学平台一般需要进行二次开发过程,其中需要重点解决平台的可用性问题,因为网络教学平台的可用性是影响学习效果的重要因素.发现并解决网络教学环境中的可用性问题,是促进人机交互、提高学习效率的重要途径.开源教学平台的可用性指的是系统的有效性、效率和满意度,分析了网络教学平台的可用性诉求,并以浙江大学Sakai开放学习平台为例,进行个案研究.使用了ThinkAloud、观察法和访谈法等可用性测试方法,研究结果发现,浙江大学Sakai开放学习平台主要功能人机交互设计合理,但是由于文化差异和用户使用习惯问题,部分功能存在一定的可用性问题,值得学习平台设计者借鉴.     

The Design and Analysis of Benchmark Experiments

The assessment of the performance of learners by means of benchmark experiments is an established exercise. In practice, benchmark studies are a tool to compare the performance of several competing algorithms for a certain learning problem. Cross-validation or resampling techniques are commonly used to derive point estimates of the performances which are compared to identify algorithms with good properties. For several benchmarking problems, test procedures taking the variability of those point estimates into account have been suggested. Most of the recently proposed inference procedures are based on special variance estimators for the cross-validated performance. We introduce a theoretical framework for inference problems in benchmark experiments and show that standard statistical test procedures can be used to test for differences in the performances. The theory is based on well-defined distributions of performance measures which can be compared with established tests. To demonstrate the usefulness in practice, the theoretical results are applied to regression and classification benchmark studies based on artificial and real world data.
