EVOKE: A Value-Driven Concept Selection Method for Early System Design

The development of new technologically advanced products requires the contribution from a range of skills and disciplines, which are often difficult to find within a single company or organization. Requirements establishment practices in Systems Engineering (SE), while ensuring coordination of activities and tasks across the supply network, fall short when it comes to facilitate knowledge sharing and negotiation during early system design. Empirical observations show that when system-level requirements are not available or not mature enough, engineers dealing with the development of long lead-time sub-systems tend to target local optima, rather than opening up the design space. This phenomenon causes design teams to generate solutions that do not embody the best possible configuration for the overall system. The aim of this paper is to show how methodologies for value-driven design may address this issue, facilitating early stage design iterations and the resolution of early stage design trade-offs. The paper describes how such methodologies may help gathering and dispatching relevant knowledge about the ‘design intent’ of a system to the cross-functional engineering teams, so to facilitate a more concurrent process for requirement elicitation in SE. The paper also describes EVOKE (Early Value Oriented design exploration with KnowledgE maturity), a concept selection method that allows benchmarking design options at sub-system level on the base of value-related information communicated by the system integrators. The use of EVOKE is exemplified in an industrial case study related to the design of an aero-engine component. EVOKE’s ability to raise awareness on the value contribution of early stage design concepts in the SE process has been further verified with industrial practitioners in ad-hoc design episodes.

The expansion of GPCR transactivation-dependent signalling to include serine/threonine kinase receptors represents a new cell signalling frontier

G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signalling is mediated through transactivation-independent signalling pathways or the transactivation of protein tyrosine kinase receptors and the recently reported activation of the serine/threonine kinase receptors, most notably the transforming growth factor-β receptor family. Since the original observation of GPCR transactivation of protein tyrosine kinase receptors, there has been considerable work on the mechanism of transactivation and several pathways are prominent. These pathways include the “triple membrane bypass” pathway and the generation of reactive oxygen species. The recent recognition of GPCR transactivation of serine/threonine kinase receptors enormously broadens the GPCR signalling paradigm. It may be predicted that the transactivation of serine/threonine kinase receptors would have mechanistic similarities with transactivation of tyrosine kinase pathways; however, initial studies suggest that these two transactivation pathways are mechanistically distinct. Important questions are the relative importance of tyrosine and serine/threonine transactivation pathways, the contribution of transactivation to overall GPCR signalling, mechanisms of transactivation and the range of cell types in which this phenomenon occurs. The ultimate significance of transactivation-dependent signalling remains to be defined but it appears to be prominent and if so will represent a new cell signalling frontier.

“零被引专利”就没有价值吗?——“零被引专利”在科学论文中的应用分析

 分析前人对零被引的研究成果发现，"零被引"的定义可能存在一定的局限，即只考察同类数据库中的引用情况。分析CSTPCD 2009-2012年的科技论文与引文发现，期刊论文引用了大量的技术专利。存在专利数据库中的"零被引专利"在科技论文中却有较高的引用次数。以其中1件"零被引专利"CN 01134280.3为例，从技术内容解读、10篇施引文献及其内容分析，展示了该项技术发明影响的研究主题，并通过文献调研解析了该项研究成果的工业化应用。基于钱学森的"基础科学-技术科学-工程科学"理论，探讨了使用较高科技论文引用次数的"零被引专利"及较高专利引用次数的"零被引论文"定量分析技术科学的可能性。

2005～2017年快速城市化背景下洱海流域不透水表面时空格局分析

近年来随着我国经济建设的不断加快以及城市化的快速发展,工业和人口的大规模聚集造成了不透水表面的快速扩张,这对城市生态环境产生了严重的影响。作为城市化水平的关键指示因子,不透水表面已经被广泛应用在城市生态环境评估中。为了定量的分析洱海流域不透水表面拓展的时空动态特征规律,本文以大理市所在的洱海流域为研究对象,利用2005年至2017年的大理市Landsat 5、Landsat 8遥感影像,提取归一化水体指数(MNDWI)和归一化差值不透水表面指数(NDISI)对洱海流域的城市、道路进行空间分析并提取出不透水表面信息进行空间格局分析。研究结果表明：2005~2017年间,随着城市化的快速发展,洱海流域的植被覆盖率和水体等自然地物覆盖率处于下降状态,而不透水覆盖率从11.6%上升到19.8%,呈现快速持续上升趋势。由洱海水质和其流域内不透水覆盖率线性拟合结果可以得到两者具有一定的负相关性。可以预见洱海水质未来发展中随着不透水覆盖率的增长而下降。因此,在城市发展的同时,应该注重对洱海的综合治理,不能任水质自行调节。本研究结果为洱海流域内城市规划管理和流域(水)环境治理提供参考信息,具有重要的现实意义。
