Pseudo‐spherical normal Darboux images of curves on a lightlike surface

We introduce the notions of the pseudospherical normal Darboux images for the curve on a lightlike surface in Minkowski 3‐space and study these Darboux images by using technics of the singularity theory. Furthermore, we give a relation between these Darboux images and Darboux frame from the viewpoint of Legendrian dualities.     

Evolution of highly symmetric curves under the shrinking curvature flow

Under the shrinking curvature flow with inner normal velocity V = k^α(α > 1), it is shown that highly symmetric, locally convex initial curves evolve into a point asymptotically like an multi‐circles. The proof relies on a crucial use of Bonnensen inequality for highly symmetric, locally convex curves. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Chemometrics‐assisted chromatographic fingerprinting: An illicit methamphetamine case study

The volatile chemical constituents in complex mixtures can be analyzed using gas chromatography with mass spectrometry. This analysis allows the tentative identification of diverse impurities of an illicit methamphetamine sample. The acquired two‐dimensional data of liquid–liquid extraction was resolved by multivariate curve resolution alternating curve resolution to elucidate the embedded peaks effectively. This is the first report on the application of a curve resolution approach for chromatogram fingerprinting to identify particularly the embedded impurities of a drug of abuse. Indeed, the strong and broad peak of methamphetamine makes identifying the underlying peaks problematic and even impossible. Mathematical separation instead of conventional chromatographic approaches was performed in a way that trace components embedded in methamphetamine peak were successfully resolved. Comprehensive analysis of the chromatogram, using multivariate curve resolution, resulted in elution profiles and mass spectra for each pure compound. Impurities such as benzaldehyde, benzyl alcohol, benzene, propenyl methyl ketone, benzyl methyl ketone, amphetamine, N‐benzyl‐2‐methylaziridine, phenethylamine, N ,N ,α‐trimethylamine, phenethylamine, N ,α,α‐trimethylmethamphetamine, N‐acetylmethamphetamine, N‐formylmethamphetamine, and other chemicals were identified. A route‐specific impurity, N‐benzyl‐2‐methylaziridine, indicating a synthesis route based on ephedrine/pseudoephedrine was identified. Moreover, this is the first report on the detection of impurities such as phenethylamine, N ,α,α‐trimethylamine (a structurally related impurity), and clonitazene (as an adulterant) in an illicit methamphetamine sample.     

卫星运动预测及规避的建模与求解

近年来,随着各国侦查卫星系统的不断完善,有效根据观测数据预测卫星的轨迹,同时建立适当的规避防范措施变得尤为重要·通过研究地面监测站监测的卫星数据及地理信息,提出了一种基于三维坐标系变换的卫星轨迹求解模型,具体建立模型的方法为:建立4种不同的坐标系,通过卫星坐标在4种坐标系中的变换,将地面检测站检测到的卫星数据进行处理,拟合出卫星的六个运动参数,得出卫星运动轨迹方程,并较为精准的预测卫星被观测站观测到的情况,以及任意时刻星下点的经纬度坐标.针对卫星的运动情况,为满足我方军事目标的运动需求,根据新疆地图建立军队行军路线的有向图,然后,在考虑卫星规避的情况下对每条路线进行模拟分析,最终,通过每条路线模拟分析的结果进行比对,得出最优的行军路线.     

基于S-R和分解定理的几何非线性问题的数值计算分析

为了探究几何非线性问题的数值求解方法,采用理论推导、MATLAB编程计算、有限元模拟相结合的方法,基于S-R和分解定理及更新拖带坐标描述法,运用插值型无单元Galerkin方法对几何非线性问题的增量变分方程进行了推导,并通过四点Gauss积分法和不动点迭代法对其进行求解.最后以平面悬臂梁的大变形问题为例进行求解计算,发现与ANSYS的计算结果拟合相似度很高,说明了所采用的几何非线性力学理论及数值计算方法的正确性和合理性,为求解几何非线性问题提供了一种新的依据.     

Bounds on partial derivatives of NURBS surfaces

In this paper, we estimate the partial derivative bounds for Non-Uniform Rational B-spline(NURBS) surfaces. Firstly, based on the formula of translating the product into sum of B-spline functions, discrete B-spline theory and Dir function, some derivative bounds on NURBS curves are provided. Then, the derivative bounds on the magnitudes of NURBS surfaces are proposed by regarding a rational surface as the locus of a rational curve. Finally, some numerical examples are provided to elucidate how tight the bounds are.
