信息系统外包:主要研究方向和未来发展趋势

近年来,信息系统外包已经成为众多美国财富500强的公司和一些欧洲大型跨国公司(M NC s)所关注的问题。一份最新的调查报告显示接近1/3的财富500强公司选择了印度作为它们外包业务的所在地。自1990年以来,印度政府一直致力于支持和推动信息系统外包产业的发展,并取得了巨大的成效。该文试通过对一些关键问题的讨论来探索这个重要的研究领域,这些问题包括:欧美公司为何将信息系统外包,印度怎样成为了全球信息系统外包的领导国家,中国的IT产业如何迎头赶上加入信息系统外包这个有利可图的市场的竞争。     

Global warming： Take action or wait？

Of all the changes wrought by human activity, the buildup in our atmosphere of the greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, has gener- ated the most contentious debate. Environmentalists warn that in the absence of firm action, over th…

Growth of Magnetite Nanoparticles under Magnetic Fields

1 Introduction Over the past several years, the preparation and characterization ofnanoscale magnetic materials, especially one-dimensional (1D) nanostructure, have attracted much attention as the nanomaterials would allow investigating the fundamental aspects of magnetic-ordering phenomena in magnetic materials with reduced dimensions and could lead to new potential applications such as data storage technology[1-6].     

复合材料Terfenol-D/PMNT的磁电和逆磁电响应

给出了Terfenol-D/PMN-PT/Terfenol-D(TD/PMNT/TD)和PMNT/TD/PMNT两种层状复合材料的磁电和逆磁电响应的测试方法和测试结果. 这两种复合结构的优化直流偏置磁场大小均为350 Oe(1 Oe=79.58 A/m). 在1 kHz频率下, 这两种复合材料的最大磁电电压系数分别为384 mV/Oe和158 mV/Oe, 最大逆磁电系数分别为118 mG/V和162 mG/V (1 G = 10^-4 T). 另外研究了这两种复合材料在谐振频率下的磁电响应. 通过对两种复合结构的比较得知, 磁致/压电/磁致复合结构具有好的磁电响应; 而压电/磁致/压电复合结构具有好的逆磁电响应. 这一结果有助于优化设计高性能压电/磁致复合磁电材料.     

Minimum information about a microarray experiment (MIAME)-toward standards for microarray data.

Microarray analysis has become a widely used tool for the generation of gene expression data on a genomic scale. Although many significant results have been derived from microarray studies, one limitation has been the lack of standards for presenting and exchanging such data. Here we present a proposal, the Minimum Information About a Microarray Experiment (MIAME), that describes the minimum information required to ensure that microarray data can be easily interpreted and that results derived from its analysis can be independently verified. The ultimate goal of this work is to establish a standard for recording and reporting microarray-based gene expression data, which will in turn facilitate the establishment of databases and public repositories and enable the development of data analysis tools. With respect to MIAME, we concentrate on defining the content and structure of the necessary information rather than the technical format for capturing it.
