Pattern transition and regulation in a subthalamopallidal network under electromagnetic effect

Although the significant roles of magnetic induction and electromagnetic radiation in the neural system have been widely studied, their influence on Parkinson's disease (PD) has yet to be well explored. By virtue of the magnetic flux variable, this paper studies the transition of firing patterns induced by magnetic induction and the regulation effect of external magnetic radiation on the firing activities of the subthalamopallidal network in basal ganglia. We find: (i) The network reproduces five typical waveforms corresponding to the severity of symptoms: weak cluster, episodic, continuous cluster, episodic, and continuous wave. (ii) Magnetic induction is a double-edged sword for the treatment of PD. Although the increase of magnetic coefficient may lead the physiological firing activity to transfer to pathological firing activity, it also can regulate the pathological intensity firing activity with excessive β-band power transferring to the physiological firing pattern with weak β-band power. (iii) External magnetic radiation could inhibit continuous tremulous firing and β-band power of subthalamic nucleus (STN), which means the severity of symptoms weakened. Especially, the bi-parameter plane of the regulation region shows that a short pulse period of magnetic radiation and a medium level of pulse percentage can well regulate pathological oscillation. This work helps to understand the firing activity of the subthalamopallidal network under electromagnetic effect. It may also provide insights into the mechanisms behind the electromagnetic therapy of PD-related firing activity.     

基于视觉辐条图案识别方法的蓝宝石引晶机制研究

工业生产蓝宝石晶体过程中,引晶步骤有着至关重要的地位。引晶必须在温度梯度较小,温度分布趋于稳定的条件下进行。目前,工业生产蓝宝石主要依靠人工经验操控籽晶杆实现引晶操作,但是人工引晶操作的准确性不高会导致成品品质不佳、资源浪费。为此,本文提出一种基于蓝宝石视觉辐条图案识别方法来检测蓝宝石熔体状态自由液面状态,从而实现一种高效率引晶的机制。此方法利用经典骨架化算法细化辐条图案,Harris算子实现特征信息的提取,提取的特征信息放入运动轨迹模型中判断熔体稳定性,分析液面温度分布稳定性从而实现引晶。结果表明,此算法具有有效性,蓝宝石晶体引晶效率大大提高,生产出的成品良率也有提升,可有效指导蓝宝石的工业生产。     

RAFM钢TIG焊和电子束焊疲劳性能实验和分析模拟

利用ANSYS 对低活化铁素体马氏体(RAFM)钢进行非熔化极气体保护焊(TIG 焊)与电子束焊的抗疲劳模拟分析，再利用SDS200 电液伺服疲劳试验机对TIG 焊和电子束焊的两种RAFM 钢试件进行实验。通过施加相同梯度负荷对TIG 焊和电子束焊试件进行焊缝的疲劳性能实验。与实验结果对比分析，结果显示电子束焊优于 TIG 焊，但在一定负载下可以用TIG 焊代替电子束焊。     

基于PI法的门源MS6.4地震前震中附近地震热点图像异常变化研究

基于1980年以来青海省和甘肃省区域地震台网的定位地震目录，分析了研究区最小完备震级，选取空间网格尺度为0.2°×0.2°、地震活动异常学习时间段和预测时间段均为3 a，应用图像信息（PI）法，分析了门源M_S6.4地震发生前震中附近地震热点图像的异常变化过程。结果表明，在2013年1月1日至2016年1月1日的预测时间窗内，冷龙岭断裂和祁连山北缘断裂附近存在明显的地震热点，且地震热点图像颜色偏深，发震概率较高，向前滑动至2014年1月1日至2017年1月1日，2015年1月1日至2018年1月1日和2016年1月1日至2019年1月1日3个预测时间窗，此两断裂附近仍存在地震热点，地震热点图像颜色逐渐由深变浅，而门源M_S6.4地震就落在PI法得到的地震热点内。门源M_S6.4地震前存在明显的地震热点，且地震热点相对集中，地震热点图像颜色由深变浅，震后消失；在祁连山北缘断裂附近，地震热点持续存在，分布较集中，地震热点图像颜色也呈由深变浅的过程。未来需关注祁连山北缘断裂，附近有发生强震的可能。     

1980—2018年镇赉县湿地景观格局变化与人为干扰的关系

以吉林省最大湿地保留区镇赉县为研究区，基于1980—2018年8期土地利用数据，采用网格分析法研究湿地景观格局变化规律及景观指数与人为干扰度的关系。结果表明：（1）镇赉县湿地面积减少290.7 km2，水体、滩地、沼泽变化率分别为-0.45，-2.97和-4.84 km²·a^-1。（2）镇赉县湿地率（PLAND）下降6.1%，且从西北部向东南部逐渐递增；斑块数量（NP）与斑块平均面积（AREA_MN）均呈先上升后下降的趋势，东南部湿地景观破碎化加剧，中部破碎化减缓；湿地连通度的空间分布格局为西北向东南递增，斑块结合度指数（COHESION）在中部地区显著增加，在东南部地区缓慢降低。（3）镇赉县湿地人为干扰度逐渐增强、耕地面积的增加和交通网的扩张是镇赉县湿地面积萎缩、景观破碎化加剧和连通度降低的主要人为原因。人为干扰度与NP呈显著正相关，与PLAND、AREA_MN、COHESION均呈负相关。稳定西南部和东北部耕地中湿地斑块，进一步加强中部湿地水体连通性，排查东南部湿地核心区违规建筑，实施分区治理，加强对镇赉县现有湿地的保护，以期实现区域可持续发展。     

Aeroelastic analysis of cantilever plates using Peters’ aerodynamic model,and the influence of choosing beam or plate theories as the structural model

In this paper, the aeroelastic analyses of a rectangular cantilever plate of varying aspect ratio is presented. The classical plate theory has been selected as the structural model. The main point that distinguishes this study from previously reported research is employing Peters’ theory to model aerodynamic effect which is not straightforward. The Peters’ aerodynamic model was originally developed to provide lift and moment, which is only applicable to the structural model based on the beam theories. In this study, using the basic concept of the Peters’ aerodynamic model in addition to utilizing the Fourier series, the pressure distribution is derived, which makes Peters’ model applicable to structural models based on plate theory. This combination provides a much simpler state–space aeroelastic model for plates in comparison to the prevalent panel methods, which could lead to a significant reduction in computational time. In addition, the aeroelastic response of the plate with respect to changes in the structural model from the beam theory to the plate theory is evaluated. By using data from an experiment carried out at Duke University, the theoretical results are evaluated. Furthermore, the differences in structural models obtained from the plate and beam theories can be divided into two distinct parts, which are responsible for differences in bending and torsional behaviors of the structure, separately. This approach enables us to measure the effects of differences of each behavior separately, which could provide with a new insight into the problem. It has been determined that the flutter speeds obtained from the beam and plate aeroelastic models are little affected by the difference in bending behavior, but rather is mainly caused by the difference in torsional frequencies.
