Elimination of Spiral Waves and Competition between Travelling Wave Impulses and Spiral Waves

The interaction between travelling wave impulses and spiral waves is studied and the results of their competition are related to the exciting period. From the results, it is known that the formation and development of spiral waves in cardiac tissue depend on the period by which the travelling wave impulses are excited. A method is proposed to eliminate spiral waves, which is easily operated.     

Lower Hearing Threshold by Noise

We demonstrate that noise can be a benefit factor that enables us to hear weaker signals. We measured the hearing thresholds of subjects for pure tone in different noise levels. The results show that pure tone thresholds with noise of some levels are lower than that without noise. The largest down-shift of the threshold by noise among the examined subjects is 5.7 dB, and the smallest is 1.7 dB.     

Sound Field Calculations of Elliptical Pistons by the Superposition of Two—Dimensional Gaussian Beams

We present an alternative approach to calculate the sound field of ultrasonic transducers.The distribution function of sources is expanded into the superposition of a series of two-dimensional Gaussian functions.The corresponding radiated sound field is expressed as the superposition of these two-dimensional Gaussian beams and is then reduced to the computation of these simple functions.This treatment does not require the condition that the shape of the source is of circular axial symmetry.A numerical example is presented for the uniform elliptical piston transducer and this is in good agreement with the results given by complicated computation.

比利时的物理学家使用高速摄像机首次观察到液体中“反气泡”的形成、运动和崩溃过程(DorboloSetal.NewJ.Phys .,2 0 0 4 ,5 :1 61 ) .众所周知,气泡是一球形的液体薄膜,里面包着空气,外面又被空气包围着.而反气泡,顾名思义,则是一球形的空气壳,里面包着液体,外面又为液体所包围.在液体中气泡会升到液面上来,而反气泡则沉到液体底部.比利时Liege大学的StephaneDorbolo等缓慢地将肥皂水倒入一个装有同样肥皂水的玻璃容器中.他们观察到在液面下产生了一注液体小球,然后,这注小球破裂成一系列反气泡.反气泡存在了两分钟之久.反气泡崩溃的方…

闭排队网络中性能势与无穷小实现因子之间的关系

In this paper,the concept of the infinitesimal realization factor is extended to the parameter-dependent performance functions in closed queueing networks. Then the concepts of realization matrix (its elements are called realization factors) and performance potential are introduced,and the relations between infinitesimal realization factors and these two quantities are discussed. This provides a united framework for both IPA and non IPA approaches. Finally,another physical meaning of the service rate is given.

Acoustic scattering from multiple spheres by using a kind of addition formulae for the spherical wave functions

A kind of addition formulae for the spherical wave functions is generated by using the bicentric expansion of Green function in spherical coordinates. For an acoustical system with multiple spheres, the addition formulae permit the field expansions all referred to the center of one of the spheres, whose boundary conditions can be consequently used to study the multiple scattering easily. The two-sphere acoustical system with different boundary conditions is considered and the field scattered by each sphere can be obtained by solving an infinite set of two linear, complex, algebraic equations, whose coefficients are coupled through double sums in the spherical wave functions. Finally, the form functions of two spheres insonified by a plane wave at arbitrary angles of incidence are calculated and the addition formulae presented are validated by comparing the corresponding numerical results with those of the existing literature.
