AbstractThe quantitative evaluation of research is currently carried out by means of indicators calculated on data extracted and integrated by analysts who elaborate them by creating illustrative tables and plots of results. In this approach, the robustness of the metrics used and the possibility for users of the metrics to intervene in the evaluation process are completely neglected. We propose a new approach which is able to move forward, from indicators’ development to an interactive performance model’s development. It combines the advantages of the ontology-based data access paradigm with the flexibility and robustness of a visual analytics environment putting the consumer/stakeholder at the centre of the evaluation. A detailed description of such an approach is presented in the paper. The approach is illustrated and evaluated trough a comprehensive user’s study that proves the added capabilities and the benefits that a user of performance models can have by using this approach.

Geometric Deviations

During the bending of tubes, specific geometric deviations from the desired shape geometry occur. These deformations comprise cross-sectional deformation, wall-thinning of the outer arc and wall-thickening of the inner arc. During the bending of parts with small bend factors, geometric deviations on the inner arc in form of waves and wrinkles may arise as other typical quality criteria. A quantitative evaluation of those deviations has yet to be defined. Currently, only an instruction for measuring the height of the wrinkles at the inner arc according to DIN EN 13480-4 is known. In this standard, only the two highest wrinkles and the valley in between are included. The characteristics of the wrinkle, especially the flank angle and the rise of deformation are disregarded, although they are responsible for the failure of the bent part. Tool damages can also occur. A development of an evaluation factor to assess deformations in the bow area for bent parts is presented in this paper. In addition, it will be possible to quantify geometric deviations in the bow area. By using the newly developed evaluation factor for geometrical deformations in the bow area, the determination of the quality of the bent part should become more reproducible.

AbstractA widely used tool in studying quasi-monoperiodic processes is the O–C diagram. This paper deals with the application of this diagram in minor planet studies. The main difference between our approach and the classical O–C diagram is that we transform the epoch (=time) dependence into the geocentric longitude domain. We outline a rotation modelling using this modified O–C and illustrate the abilities with detailed error analysis. The primary assumption, that the monotonity and the shape of this diagram is (almost) independent of the geometry of the asteroids is discussed and tested. The monotonity enables an unambiguous distinction between the prograde and retrograde rotation, thus the four-fold (or in some cases the two-fold) ambiguities can be avoided. This turned out to be the main advantage of the O–C examination. As an extension to the theoretical work, we present some preliminary results on 1727 Mette based on new CCD observations.

Previously we reported that tannic acid is a very effective fixative for proteins including polypeptides. Especially, in the cross section of microtubules, thirteen submits in A-tubule and eleven in B-tubule could be observed very clearly. An elastic fiber could be demonstrated very clearly, as an electron opaque, homogeneous fiber. However, tannic acid did not penetrate into the deep portion of the tissue-block. So we tried Catechin. This shows almost the same chemical natures as that of proteins, as tannic acid. Moreover, we thought that catechin should have two active-reaction sites, one is phenol,and the other is catechole. Catechole site should react with osmium, to make Os- black. Phenol-site should react with peroxidase existing perhydroxide.
