Measuring trail users’ perception of crowding in a peri-urban nature park: A best-worst scaling experiment

This paper evaluates the perception of crowding, its determinants and relationship with trail users’ experience in a peri-urban nature park. Existing crowding surveys rely heavily on a single-item 9-point crowding scale which was originally developed for backcountry areas. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to test the validity and reliability of this measure in detecting crowding issues and formulating visitor capacity limits. Low validity and reliability raised concerns about the applicability of this scale in similar frontcountry areas. Inability of this simple crowding measure to detect a visitor threshold brings to the fore its another important limitation – ignorance of the complexity of crowding phenomenon. The perception of crowding varies with various social, psychological and situational factors, and a best-worst scaling (BWS) experiment was designed to simultaneously evaluate different aspects of crowding in the Medvednica Nature Park, a peri-urban nature park near Zagreb, Croatia. The findings of BWS experiment revealed that occupancy of mountain huts, number of other hikers on the trail and amount of litter along the trail on average contributed most to the trail users’ sense of crowding. A latent class analysis identified a large heterogeneity in the perception of crowding; while one group of trail users (63%) was more disturbed by the direct social impacts, the others (37%) were more disturbed by the secondary impacts of other visitors, especially by the negative externalities from road traffic in the park. Older visitors had a greater tendency to primarily associate crowding with the environmental conditions. A higher impact of trail use level in the perception of crowding, younger age and more frequent use were associated with a more negative evaluation of crowding. The park management should closely monitor road traffic in the park and visitor activity on highly used trails, especially on those popular among younger trail users.

继电保护压板的智能校核方法

继电保护压板位置一般与一次设备运行方式相关,在一次设备运行方式改变时,有时需要改变压板的位置进行匹配。实际运行操作中因压板位置投退错误,已导致多起事故发生。为了避免保护压板出现漏投、误投现象,从搜索一次元件状态、运行方式的角度出发,在采集压板位置信息基础上,提出了一种压板位置与一次元件运行方式匹配状态的智能校核方法。根据一次元件的运行状态及相应的压板整定规则,生成一次元件压板位置关联规则库,利用变电站开关状态信息在变电站倒闸操作后自动识别一次元件状态,与一次元件压板规则库进行比较,当出现不一致时给出报警提示信号,实现了压板位置的智能校核。通过对实际工程中变压器运行转检修操作任务的分析,验证了所提方法的有效性。     

Design of the PC/104 Bus Mode Multi-channel Analyzer

This paper expatiates on the bus structure and develop the bus mode Multi-Channel Analyzer (MCA). The nucleus of this MCA is the PC/104 embedded computer, and it introduces the bus communication to realize system and data communication. It may realize data collecting and showing in the field, because the bus mode is rapid. At first, on the hardware we introduce CMOS components, this reduces power, volume and weight. These make it adapts to use in the field; besides, on the software we adopt C and assembly language to program in order to improve conversion speed. At the same time, single-task DOS operating system is infroduced, which makes the software run more steadily, operate more simply. By means of testing on the spot it can normally work, so it suitable to work in the field.     

Study on Design of Bio-clean Operating Room

The design of Bio-clean operating room in modern hospital is quite different from that of traditional operating room. This paper discusses three aspects of Bio-clean operating room design: air clean standard and air purification, interior equipment system and interior finish. It is hoped that this discussion will conduce to later designs.
