Separation of heart rate variability components of the autonomic nervous system by utilizing principal dynamic modes

This work introduces a modified Principal Dynamic Modes (PDM) methodology using eigenvalue/eigenvector analysis to separate individual components of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous contributions to heart rate variability. We have modified the PDM technique to be used with even a single output signal of heart rate variability data, whereas the original PDMs required both input and output data. This method specifically accounts for the inherent nonlinear dynamics of heart rate control, which the current method of power spectrum density (PSD) is unable to do. Propranolol and atropine were administered to normal human volunteers intravenously to inhibit the sympathetic and parasympathetic activities, respectively. With separate applications of the respective drugs, we found a significant decrease in the amplitude of the waveforms that correspond to each nervous activity. Furthermore, we observed near complete elimination of these dynamics when both drugs were given to the subjects. Comparison of our method to the conventional low/high frequency ratio of PSD shows that PDM methodology provides much more accurate assessment of the autonomic nervous balance by separation of individual components of the autonomic nervous activities. The PDM methodology is expected to have an added benefit that diagnosis and prognostication of a patient's health can be determined simply via a non-invasive electrocardiogram.     

GENERALIZATION OF STEINER FORMULAFOR THE HOMOTHETIC MOTIONS ONTHE PLANAR KINEMATICS

The Steiner formula and the mixture area formula given by M(U|¨)ller were expressed under the one-parameter closed planar homothetic motions in the complex sense . Also, using the generalization of Steiner formula, the result of Holditch theorem for homothetic motions is got. In the case of the homothetic scale h≡1 the results given by M(U|¨)ller are obtained as a special case.

固体润滑透平轴承 第三部分:在316℃下与陶瓷对摩的复合材料的发展

将以前与M-50钢对摩进行过评价的三维石墨纤维编织物增强的聚酰亚胺基自润滑保持架复合材料,在316℃下与热压氮化硅对摩进行了摩擦磨损试验,以确定其与陶瓷材料对摩时在摩擦学性能方面的变化。这些材料将应用在固体润滑的采用高比强度陶瓷滚动元件的高速透平轴承中。试验结果表明,这些复合材料与热压氮化硅对摩时的摩擦和磨损都急剧增大。这是由于从氮化硅环上发生了细小磨屑的物理和(或)化学转移,以及这些磨屑转移到复合材料表面上的缘故。调整复合材料中纤维和聚合物基体的比例,以及用所研究过的两种固体润滑剂混合物之一都可以降低摩擦与磨损。

Dynamics of a discrete population model for extinction and sustainability in ancient civilizations

We analyze a discrete version of a recently developed ratio dependent population-resource model. This model has been used to study the decline of the human and resource populations on Easter Island and the chaotic dynamics of moose and wolf populations in Canada. The dynamical system exhibits a rich behavior of fractal basins of attraction and a Neimark-Sacker bifurcation route to chaos. The model consists of a coupled pair of logistic equations, with the carrying capacity for the predators proportional to the number of prey.
