Multiwave interaction solutions for a (3+1)-dimensional generalized Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation

To construct a class of new multiwave interaction solutions for the (3+1)-dimensional generalized Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation, we calculate different types of interaction solutions among solitons, periodic waves and rational waves using the direct algebraic method together with the inheritance solving skill. Moreover, a new algorithm is proposed with the aid of the simplified Hirota method, the conjugated parameters assignment and long wave limit strategies, from which multiwave interaction solutions among solitons, breathers and lump waves are generated.     

Weak dissipation of electrostatic solitary structures in warm collisional pair-ion plasmas with non-Maxwellian electron population

The localized electrostatic structures with dissipation due to ion-neutral collisions in a symmetric warm pair-ion plasma in the presence of non-Maxwellian population of electrons are studied. The analytical model for ion dynamics is based on fluid equations and the evolution equation is derived by using the reductive perturbation scheme in the form of a damped Korteweg-de Vries equation. The parameter regime relevant to space-based observations and laboratory plasmas is considered and time evolution of the propagating ion-acoustic soliton is discussed. The energetic-particles-driven properties of soliton for various spectral indices, dissipation, ion temperature, and density are illustrated with comparison to the thermal mode for Boltzmann distribution of electrons.

Metal coordination to a deep cavitand promotes binding selectivities in water

One goal of supramolecular chemistry is the creation of synthetic receptors that have a high affinity for hydrophilic molecules in water. We found that cavitands with upper rims extended by pyridyl groups coax hydrophilic guests into the cavity where they are shielded from the aqueous environment. The ability of Pd(II) to coordinate adjacent pyridyl groups leads to increased selectivity for highly hydrophilic solvent molecules such as acetone, 1,4-dioxane and tetrahydrofuran in water. Analysis of the binding behavior indicated that metal-coordination restricts the container entrance, shrinks the effective cavity volume and increases the energetic barrier to guest exchange.     

Research Progress and Application of Ion Funnel Technique

Ion funnel is a new-style ion guider which can reduce spatial divergence and energy dispersity of the transmission ions by using radio frequency (RF) electric field to confine the ions radially and the direct current (DC) axial electric field to move the ions toward the exit, and thus it can greatly increase the ion transmission efficiency and improve the sensitivity of the mass spectrometry. Since ion funnel was invented in 1997, it has attracted a close attention of mass spectrometry scientists all over the world. Ion funnel has been used in various kinds of mass spectrometry, and built a bridge with high efficiency ion transmission between low vacuum ionization source and high vacuum mass analyzer. In this paper, the principle, technology development, and application progress of ion funnel are reviewed, and the future prospects are prospected.

Stochastic sensitivity analysis of coupled acoustic-structural systems under non-stationary random excitations

This paper presents a new sensitivity analysis method for coupled acoustic–structural systems subjected to non-stationary random excitations. The integral of the response power spectrum density (PSD) of the coupled system is taken as the objective function. The thickness of each structural element is used as a design variable. A time-domain algorithm integrating the pseudo excitation method (PEM), direct differentiation method (DDM) and high precision direct (HPD) integration method is proposed for the sensitivity analysis of the objective function with respect to design variables. Firstly, the PEM is adopted to transform the sensitivity analysis under non-stationary random excitations into the sensitivity analysis under pseudo transient excitations. Then, the sensitivity analysis equation of the coupled system under pseudo transient excitations is derived based on the DDM. Moreover, the HPD integration method is used to efficiently solve the sensitivity analysis equation under pseudo transient excitations in a reduced-order modal space. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the validity of the proposed method.
