The way of dry-mixed mortar air-sliding has many advantages，such as improving transport efficiency, ensuring cement quality. But, dry-mixed mortar air-sliding may occur segregate, this phenomenon serious break the original ratio of cement, risking quality of cement[2]. This article suggested a new model of discharge opening with multi-holes, this model can allow dry-mixed mortar flow out at different height, and control the rate of flux in each port to keep mortar equally, this model eliminated the non uniforms caused by different height, eliminated the affection of segregate, ensure the quality of the cement.

The classical Clapper-Yule model and its improved models will both introduced the extended application which supports rough printing and halftone color fluorescent imaging. The characteristics of the new model were analyzed and the prospect of the Clapper-Yule mode was discussed. We proposed a new model, which was an enhancement of the classical Clapper-Yule model, which simulate optical dot gain of halftone prints by taking into account lateral scattering within the paper bulk and multiple internal reflections. The model we propose also takes into account the reflectance of inks at surface of the specific colors at specific rates. The model opens the way towards color separation of images to be reproduced. Several designs printed on an offset press demonstrate their applicability and their benefits.

Titre : « L’ontologie amazonienne : animisme ou non-essentialisme ? »Résumé : Comment les populations indigènes d’Amazonie se représentent-elles les êtres du monde ? En d’autres termes, quelle est leur ontologie ? La plus récente réponse à cette question passe par la réhabilitation d’un concept ancien : l’animisme. Ce modèle de la pensée amazonienne s’est imposé dans les deux dernières décennies, et il occupe aujourd’hui une position hégémonique. Je soutiens ici que le modèle animiste de la pensée amazonienne pose de nombreux problèmes : il rend mal compte des données ethnographiques et échoue à identifier le propre de la pensée amazonienne. Si l’ontologie amazonienne n’est pas animiste, qu’est-elle alors ? Je propose un nouveau modèle selon lequel l’ontologie amazonienne est fondamentalement non essentialiste. Deux types de preuves viennent corroborer cette proposition : je propose d’abord une brève revue de la littérature ethnographique amazoniste, puis présente des données expérimentales que j’ai récemment collectées chez les Huni Kuin du Haut-Purus (Amazonie péruvienne). Je conclus en posant quelques-uns des jalons d’une vaste entreprise de comparaison des ontologies à travers le monde.Mots-clés : Amazonie, animisme, essentialisme psychologique, ethnobiologie, ethnosociologie, Huni Kuin, ontologie, perspectivisme.Title: « Amazonian ontology: animism or non-essentialism? »Abstract: How do indigenous Amazonian people conceive of the beings of the world? In other words, what is their ontology? The most recent response to this question consists in revamping an old concept: animism. Within the last two decades, this model of Amazonian thought has become increasingly influential. I contend that the animistic model of Amazonian thought is problematic in many respects: it does not do justice to ethnographic data and fails to pinpoint the uniqueness of Amazonian thought. If the Amazonian ontology cannot be characterized as animistic, what is it then? I put forth a new model according to which the Amazonian ontology is fundamentally non essentialist. Two strands of evidence corroborate this claim: first, I briefly review some of the Amazonianist ethnographic literature, and next present experimental data I recently collected among the Huni Kuin of the Upper Purus River (Peruvian Amazon). In conclusion, I pave the way for a broader endeavor of comparison of ontologies across the world.Keywords: Amazonia, animism, folkbiology, folksociology, Huni Kuin, ontology, perspectivism, psychological essentialism.

There is much written on research methodologies and the merits of each within academic texts.  Researchers provide written accounts of their methodologies, their results locating these in literature previously reviewed.  New ideas, models and frameworks of knowing develop from the discussion of the findings than contribute greatly to knowledge within a given discipline.  What is seldom captured is the actual process of engaging in research, the ups and downs of the journey, whose voices are captured and for what reason and the relational and ethical dilemmas along the way that need to be negotiated.  This article aims to give voice to my experiences of a research process with social care students as I attempted to develop a new model of relational reflexivity within their education and practice preparation.   I discuss some of my experiences as a practitioner researcher as they relate to the research aims, design and method of inquiry.  I offer my perspective as a way of challenging the clean-cut process often portrayed, where the researcher objectively and seamlessly goes through the various stages of the research process, before arriving at their conclusions in a tidy and comprehensive fashion

<p>This paper addresses two issues that arise in a degree-based approach to the semantics of positive forms of gradable adjectives such as tall in the sentence “John is tall” (e.g., <span>Kennedy &amp; McNally 2005</span>; <span>Kennedy 2007</span>): First, how the standard of comparison is contextually determined; Second, why gradable adjectives exhibit the relative-absolute distinction. Combining ideas of previous evolutionary and probabilistic approaches (e.g., <span>Potts 2008</span>; <span>Franke 2012</span>; <span>Lassiter 2011</span>; <span>Lassiter &amp; Goodman 2013</span>), we propose a new model that makes exact and empirically testable probabilistic predictions about speakers’ use of gradable adjectives and that derives the relative-absolute distinction from considerations of optimal language use. Along the way, we distinguish between vagueness and loose use, and argue that, within our approach, vagueness can be understood as the result of uncertainty about the exact degree distribution within the comparison class.</p>

AbstractA critical examination of "dangerous memories" illuminates the shortcomings of attempts to master the past when history is understood as a neutral medium for revealing the integrative forces of reason; an empty vessel to be filled with the facts of the way things were; or the product of an interpretive fusion of horizons between past and present. The disruptive potential of memory resists narrative control. A new model of historical understanding is needed wherein thinking is not a flight into transcendental categories but a form of critical responding that makes judgment possible.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to understand the sound practical reasons underlying the behaviour of very small enterprise (VSE) owner‐managers with respect to their perceived resistance to the dominant entrepreneurial and managerial models in areas such as management methods, marketing or internationalisation.Design/methodology/approachThe current literature on VSE managers was reviewed in the light of Raymond Boudon's general theory of rationality. Starting from the premise that in science, the simplest explanation tends to be the best, the paper highlights the practical reasons why VSE owner‐managers behave the way they do.FindingsWhile there may be cultural or personality‐based reasons why VSE owner‐managers often appear to reject the traditional entrepreneurial model, these are not the sole or even the main explanation. In most cases, the behaviour in question can be explained much more simply by practical, down‐to‐earth reasons. From the actor's point of view, his behaviour is always rational.Research limitations/implicationsThis new model of the behaviour of VSE owner‐managers has not been empirically tested.Originality/valueThe paper presents a novel vision of the behaviour of VSE owner‐managers, based on the practical reasons underlying their actions, that goes beyond the existing typologies such as the “Traditional‐vs‐Opportunistic” entrepreneur.
