In this study, we carried out subjective evaluation tests employing 19 refrigerator door closing sounds to quantify the luxury feeling. By applying factor analysis to the subjective evaluation results, the sound quality of the refrigerator door closing sound was found to be expressed by the following two factors: overall loudness and the pitch of the sound. Subsequently, luxury feeling evaluation model was obtained through multiple regression analysis. As the result, the luxury feeling of the door closing sound was evaluated to be high when the sound was softer and had lower pitch. Then, we prepared several luxury door closing sounds according to the obtained evaluation model through a filter processing and conducted subjective evaluation tests again to verify the evaluation model. The result shows that the amplitude increased sound at low frequency band under 100 Hz, which was calculated to be high luxury by the evaluation model, was actually evaluated as the best among the presented sounds through the subjective test. And the luxury sound quality evaluation method was confirmed to be useful to quantify and estimate the sound quality of the refrigerator door closing sound.

The soy sauce samples established a model for its flavour quality evaluation. Initially, 39 types of flavour compounds, organic acids and free amino acids in six different types of soy sauce were identified and determined by HS-SPME GC/MS and HPLC. The model was developed based on the principal component analysis method for assessing and ranking of flavour quality of soy sauce. Using the principal component analysis which simplifies complex information, our correlative evaluation model was established, tested by comparing the traditional sensory evaluation method, providing a new methodology for objective evaluation of the flavour quality of soy sauce.

Abstract. In recent years, China has promulgated the "Civil Code of the People's Republic of China", "Implementation Rules of the Provisional Regulations on Real Estate Registration" and other laws and regulations, which have protected citizens' rights and obligations in real estate from the legal system. It shows that the quality of real estate registration data is very important. At present, there is no set of standards for evaluating the quality of real estate registration data. This article sorts out the production process of real estate registration data and focuses on the four stages of production: digitization results, field surveys and surveying and mapping results, group building results, integration and association. As a result, the main points of real estate registration data quality control were put forward, and a quality evaluation model was developed. Taking Beijing's real estate registration historical archives integrated data quality inspection as an application case, it shows that the quality evaluation model has been successfully applied to actual projects, ensuring the quality of Beijing real estate registration data. It also provides a reference for the next step in China's quality control of the unified registration of natural resources confirmation.

Hole surface quality in drilling carbon fiber-reinforced plastics and titanium alloy (CFRP-Ti) stacks is a key factor affecting high-quality assembly and reliable usage of the structure so it need be reasonably evaluated. However, there is no standardized evaluation system of hole surface quality in drilling CFRP-Ti stacks. The existing evaluation indexes cannot meet the evaluation requirements on the surface quality of the hole. This paper proposes a subjective-objective evaluation method to evaluate the surface quality of the hole in drilling CFRP-Ti stacks. Firstly, the evaluation factors are determined by experiments, including CFRP delamination, CFRP hole entrance tears, surface roughness of CFRP and Ti, and the evaluation system is established according to defect characteristics and industry standards. Secondly, the subjective evaluation model is established based on the improved analytic hierarchy process, the objective evaluation model is established based on the entropy weight method and the subjective and objective combination weight calculation method is obtained based on the principle of minimum discriminant information. Finally, the surface quality of the hole is evaluated by subjective, objective, subjective-objective evaluation methods respectively. The result shows that subjective-objective evaluation method is more reasonable and effective.

The Taguchi capability index, which reflects the expected loss and the yield of a process, is a useful index for evaluating the quality of a process. Several scholars have proposed a process improvement capability index based on the expected value of the Taguchi loss function as well as the corresponding cost of process improvement. There have been a number of studies using the Taguchi capability index to develop suppliers’ process quality evaluation models, whereas models for evaluating suppliers’ process improvement potential have been relatively lacking. Thus, this study applies the process improvement capability index to develop an evaluation model of the supplier’s process improvement capability, which can be provided to the industry for application. Besides, owing to the current need to respond quickly, coupled with cost considerations and the limits of technical capabilities, the sample size for sampling testing is usually not large. Consequently, the evaluation model of the process improvement capability developed in this study adopts a fuzzy testing method based on the confidence interval. This method reduces the risk of misjudgment due to sampling errors and improves the testing accuracy because it can incorporate experts and their accumulated experiences.

This paper aims to identify the attributes that describe aircraft interior noise, determine most important psychoacoustic models that characterize cabin sounds, and construct a prediction model that can be utilized for VIP and business jets to evaluate subjective perception. In the first part, paired comparison listening tests and free verbalization are conducted with expert subjects who experienced VIP and business aircraft flight. The study generated a list of adjective pairs that describe perception of cabin sounds to be used for semantic differential listening tests. Multi-dimensional scaling is performed on paired comparison data. Results showed that subjects’ decisions can be categorized in loudness and annoyance dimensions which are not necessarily linearly associated. The second part of the study is the development of a sound quality prediction model for aircraft cabin. Semantic differential tests are conducted with potential customers. Objective sound quality metrics are correlated to subjective test responses using principal components regression. This model is found to be most effective explaining pleasantness, comfort, and loudness perception. It is intended to be utilized to modify/redesign noise control treatments and sound signature of an aircraft. All listening tests were conducted inside an aircraft cabin simulator considering the influence of visual content.

There are two major problems in the evaluation of the teaching quality of English writing: the weak logic of the evaluation system and the low reliability of the evaluation model. To solve the problems, this paper put forward an evaluation method for the teaching quality of English writing based on the analytical hierarchy process (AHP). Firstly, the authors reviewed the current evaluation methods for the teaching quality of English writing. Next, hierarchical evaluation systems were established for the teaching quality of English writing from the perspectives of teachers and students, respectively. After that, the AHP method and the grey theory were introduced to set up an evaluation model for the teaching quality of English writing. Finally, several strategies were presented to improve the teaching quality of English writing. The proposed evaluation systems and model enriched the theories on teaching quality evaluation of English writing, and promoted the teaching quality of English writing.
