This article presents QUERIOUS, an educational tool based on expert system technology, functional analysis techniques, and Socratic method. Using a knowledge acquisition device originally developed to allow specialists to impart their knowledge to expert systems, our tool asks students questions, leads them through functional analysis of a problem and, in effect, induces them to teach the system their solution strategy. An existing prototype is described, and a proposal for further development is presented.

This paper investigates the interaction between compensation structures and expert system technology. One hundred twenty-two participants selected a contract (fixed pay or performance-contingent incentives) and performed one of two risk-rating tasks either in the presence or absence of an externally valid expert system. For both tasks, the expert system increased decision accuracy only for participants selecting performance-contingent incentives, and these incentives increased decision accuracy only in the presence of the expert system, consistent with a complementary interaction. The results support the view that expert system technology changes task requirements and, hence, may also change self-selection and effort compensation contracting effects. The results provide evidence about the interdependence of organization, system, and individual factors in determining task performance, and suggest that organizational performance may be improved through the joint implementation of expert systems and performance-contingent incentives.

Information derived from microscopic images of Li-ion cells is the base for research on the function, the safety, and the degradation of Li-ion batteries. This research was carried out to acquire information required to understand the mechanical properties of Li-ion cells. Parameters such as layer thicknesses, material compositions, and surface properties play important roles in the analysis and the further development of Li-ion batteries. In this work, relevant parameters were derived using microscopic imaging and analysis techniques. The quality and the usability of the measured data, however, are tightly connected to the sample generation, the preparation methods used, and the measurement device selected. Differences in specimen post-processing methods and measurement setups contribute to variability in the measured results. In this paper, the complete sample preparation procedure and analytical methodology are described, variations in the measured dataset are highlighted, and the study findings are discussed in detail. The presented results were obtained from an analysis conducted on a state-of-the-art Li-ion pouch cell applied in an electric vehicle that is currently commercially available.

In this paper, based on the status quo of plastics extrusion production process at the present stage in China, put forward on the basis of general embedded industrial control scheduling expert system for optimizing the process parameters is established. Structures of the expert system, user interface, the establishment of a knowledge base, reasoning machine design, the learning machine design and so on are introduced. System can according to customer's production goal reasoning out the required process parameter values, and has good portability, instead of the professional engineers for plastics extrusion production process parameters manually, save the human cost, improve the intelligent level of automation and production efficiency.
