Multivariate spline space over cross-cut partition

AbstractIn this paper, we mainly study the generator bases of the prime module determined by the global conformality condition of multivariate spline over star cross-cut partition. The results can help us to get the dimension and construct the spline bases for multivariate spline space over cross-cut partition, quasi-cross-cut partition, and super-cross-cut partition

Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy study of 1.5 MeV Kr+Kr+ irradiation-induced amorphization in α-quartz

Cross-sectional and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (XTEM and HRTEM, respectively) have been used to characterize ion-beam-induced amorphization of α-quartz irradiated with 1.5 MeV Kr+Kr+ ions at room temperature. The accumulation of damage and the growth of the amorphous layers in quartz were studied as a function of ion fluence up to 1.7×10141.7×1014 ions/cm2.ions/cm2. An amorphous band was first observed at the peak displacement damage range, and this region increased in width with increasing ion fluence. These results demonstrate that direct displacement damage by nuclear collision is more efficient than ionization processes in inducing amorphization in quartz. At lower fluences ( ⩽ 1.7×1013(⩽1.7×1013 ions/cm2),ions/cm2), the damage profile observed by XTEM is in excellent agreement with the distribution of displacement damage predicted by TRIM calculations. At higher fluences, the range of the amorphous band measured by XTEM exceeds the depth predicted by TRIM. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/69882/2/JAPIAU-84-8-4204-1.pd

The influences of cognition of institutional logics and triple helix relations on innovation performance: An empirical study of firms in industrial park in Taiwan

Abstract. The present study set out to investigate into the influences of cognition of institutional logics and triple helix relationships (i.e., the industry-university-government linkages) on firm innovation performance in the context of Taiwan industrial parks. The data from 131 organizational-level questionnaires collected from firms located in different industrial parks were analyzed. The results showed that cognition of institutional logics is positively associated with firms’ innovation performance. Furthermore, such positive relationship is strengthened by the number of triple helix relationships in the form of mediation but not moderation effect. Theoretical and practical implications were elaborated. Keywords. Cognition of institutional logics, Triple helix, Innovation performance, Industrial park.JEL. M10, M14

The influences of perceived organizational slacks on firms’ satisfaction in industrial park service: Moderation effect of park attributes and administrative supports

Abstract. This study examines the effect of perceived organizational slack on firms’ satisfaction in services offered by industrial park. Survey questionnaires were collected from 131 firms located in various industrial parks in Taiwan. Results supports that, first, perceived organizational slack is negatively related to firms’ satisfaction in industrial park’s services. Moreover, the strengths of such negative relationships were differentiated due to the moderation effect of different park attributes and administrative supports. Policy and theoretical implications were discussed.Keywords. Perceived organizational slacks, Service satisfaction, Park attributes and administrative supports.JEL. M10, M11, M14

Development of Magnetic Field-enhanced Vacuum Arc Deposition in China

This paper reviews the latest research and development in China for magnetic field-enhanced vacuum arc deposition (MFE-VAD). China has developed some new technologies in MFE-VAD. These technologies are all based on the interaction between the magnetic field and cathode arc spot (and arc plasma). An external magnetic field can be applied to steer the cathode spot motion including axisymmetric magnetic field (AMF), transverse rotating magnetic field (TRMF) and coupling magnetic field (CMF). The transverse component of AFM can accelerate the cathode spot motion. The TRMF covered the whole cathode was generated by stationary three-phase windings carrying three-phase alternating currents. The CMF was designed to improve the increasing of plasma density and the collisions between ion and droplet-particls (DPs) charging, and as well as further purify the DPs

An Upper Bound of the Bezout Number for Piecewise Algebraic Curves over a Rectangular Partition

A piecewise algebraic curve is a curve defined by the zero set of a bivariate spline function. Given two bivariate spline spaces (Δ) over a domain D with a partition Δ, the Bezout number BN(m,r;n,t;Δ) is defined as the maximum finite number of the common intersection points of two arbitrary piecewise algebraic curves (Δ). In this paper, an upper bound of the Bezout number for piecewise algebraic curves over a rectangular partition is obtained
