Overestimation of self-reported driving exposure: Results from the SHRP2 Naturalistic Driving Study

Objectives: The accuracy of self-reported driving exposure has questioned the validity of using self-reported mileage to inform research questions. Studies examining the accuracy of self-reported driving exposure compared to objective measures find low validity, with drivers overestimating and underestimating driving distance. The aims of the current study were to (1) examine the discrepancy between self-reported annual mileage and driving exposure the following year and (2) investigate whether these differences depended on age and annual mileage.

Methods: Two estimates of drivers’ self-reported annual mileage collected during vehicle installation (obtained via prestudy questionnaires) and approximated annual mileage driven (based upon Global Positioning System data) were acquired from 3,323 participants who participated in the Strategic Highway Research Program 2 (SHRP2) Naturalistic Driving Study.

Results: A Wilcoxon signed rank test showed that there was a significant difference between self-reported and annual driving exposure during participation in SHRP 2, with the majority of self-reported responses overestimating annual mileage the following year, irrespective of whether an ordinal or ratio variable was examined. Over 15% of participants provided self-reported responses with over 100% deviation, which were exclusive to participants underestimating annual mileage. Further, deviations in reporting differed between participants who had low, medium, and high exposure, as well as between participants in different age groups.

Conclusions: These findings indicate that although self-reported annual mileage is heavily relied on for research, such estimates of driving distance may be an overestimate of current or future mileage and can influence the validity of prior research that has utilized estimates of driving exposure.

氯苯紫外光降解产物对生物过滤塔运行性能的影响

生物过滤技术对难生物降解VOCs的处理效果较差,构建紫外光降解-生物过滤联合处理工艺是解决难生物降解VOCs处理的一个有效手段.已有研究表明,紫外光降解预处理对氯苯生物过滤塔的去除性能有促进作用.为了考察紫外预处理对生物过滤塔的影响机理,本研究分别考察了氯苯紫外光降解主要产物氯酚、乙酸以及副产物臭氧对生物过滤塔运行性能的影响.研究结果表明,加入乙酸降低了生物过滤塔的氯苯去除性能,在增加喷淋量后去除性能有所恢复.加入邻氯酚使生物过滤塔的氯苯去除性能略有降低.臭氧明显促进了生物过滤塔的氯苯去除性能,当进口臭氧浓度在60～120mg.m-3时,氯苯平均去除率可由70%提高到90%以上.因此,臭氧是紫外预处理促进生物过滤塔运行性能的主要因素.

井下采空区构筑物漏风实测装置研发及应用

为了实时动态监测采空区构筑物漏风情况,自主研发了一种井下采空区构筑物漏风实测装置。通过现场实测及应用,研究结果表明:风流从工作面上进风口漏入采空区,而采空区中风流一部分通过与工作面之间的漏风流进入工作面下进风口,在下隅角位置附近形成一个涡流区;另一部分风流穿过沿空留巷构筑物进入留巷内,由于采空区的压实程度不同,采空区侧留巷内漏风速度曲线近似呈“L”型下降;通过收集分析留巷内漏风气体,其结果可反映采空区中瓦斯浓度分布情况,为采空区瓦斯治理提供了一种新的监测技术手段,且能有效地降低采空区瓦斯事故发生率,保证矿井的安全生产。     

锶盐废渣含硫状态分析及硫含量的测定

锶盐废渣中硫的状态及含量不同其作用大不相同,有的呈现活性导致膨胀破坏,而有的则表现为惰性,因此有必要了解硫的存在状态及含量。分析表明锶盐废渣中硫主要以硫酸盐硫(SO3)和硫化物硫(S2-)两种形式存在。选择硫酸钡重量法和碘量法进行化学测定,然后用X-射线能谱仪进行元素定性分析;并将化学分析和仪器测定两种方法进行对比。结果表明,X-射线能谱法可以快捷、方便地探测锶渣所含各种元素,但不能确定元素的价态;化学分析方法可得到相对准确的元素含量;用硫酸钡重量法和碘量法联合测定锶渣中的硫含量,与X-射线能谱法相比,偏差仅为0.37%。

Designing a mixed performance measurement system for environmental supply chain management using evolutionary game theory and balanced scorecard: A case study of an auto industry supply chain

This paper proposes a mixed performance measurement system using a combination of evolutionary game theory and the balanced scorecard (BSC) in environmental supply chain management (ESCM) that measures and evaluates business operations using the four different perspectives of finance, customer, internal business process, and learning and growth. ESCM plays an important role in the supply chain which leads to the reduction, reuse and recycling of resources involved in both upstream and downstream activities. This paper presents guidance for practical managers in evaluating and measuring ESCM by developing a knowledge-based BSC and evolutionary game theory. The primary purpose of this paper is to apply the proposed method in a case study to one of Iran's biggest auto industry supply chain SAIPA Company. The results of this study indicate that the adoption of ESCM, in the absence of regulatory pressures and cost-saving measures is triggered by public pressures and its implementation is limited by organizational factors and strategic myopia.
