Integral curvature bounds and diameter estimates on Finsler manifolds

In this paper, we study the integrals of the Ricci curvature over metric balls in a Finsler manifold,which can be viewed as an L~q-norm of the Ricci curvature. By bounding such integrals from above, we obtain several Myers type theorems.     

密度泛函理论方法研究填料表面对聚合物摩擦化学的影响

采用超声分散法制备出氧化铝、高岭土、氧化硅/聚四氟乙烯复合材料, 使用线性往复摩擦磨损试验机对比三种复合材料的摩擦学性能. 结果表明 质量分数10%的氧化铝、高岭土能将聚四氟乙烯的磨损率降低约4个数量级, 而氧化硅仅能降低约3个数量级. 对金属对偶表面形成的转移膜的形貌和化学成分进行分析发现 氧化铝、高岭土/聚四氟乙烯在金属对偶面上形成了高度羧酸盐化的转移膜. 用密度泛函理论对三种填料表面上碳氟分子吸附过程进行模拟, 结果显示氧化铝、高岭土表面的路易斯酸性位点促进了碳氟分子的脱氟过程, 产生了更多的羧酸螯合物的中间产物; 氧化硅缺少路易斯酸性位点, 因此不能促进高度羧酸盐化的转移膜形成.

基于气体浓度定量的嗅觉刺激器优化设计

现有的基于磁共振测量的嗅觉刺激器，通过调节嗅剂液体浓度的方法可以实现不同浓度的嗅觉刺激，但随着实验进行，受到嗅剂挥发以及实验环境（温度、湿度、气流量）变化的影响，很难确保输送至鼻腔的嗅剂气体浓度的稳定性，进而影响实验结果的准确性．本研究对本实验室前期开发的嗅觉刺激装置进行改进，实现了气体浓度精确定量．改进后的嗅觉刺激器主要分为三个部分：控制系统、反馈系统和气路系统．控制系统主要实现气路系统的送气控制和嗅剂气体浓度调节；反馈系统则负责对气体浓度进行测量；气路系统则在原有基础上添加活性炭装置，降低无关因素干扰．装置改进之后，不同气路切换时间为75.2 ms，比原装置减少了1 s，有效提高刺激精度．实验结果显示，气体浓度调节前，300 s内乙醇、吡啶、乙酸戊酯嗅剂气体浓度分别下降6.7%、71.4%、79.2%，嗅剂气体浓度短时间内发生较大改变．加入气体浓度调节功能后，当气体浓度下降至目标浓度的90%时，可通过调节气泵电压改变嗅剂气流与空气气流比例，从而调节嗅剂气体浓度至目标值，其中吡啶、乙酸戊酯用时13 s．     

Flow-induced shear stress and deformation of a core–shell-structured microcapsule in a microchannel

A numerical model was developed and validated to investigate the fluid–structure interactions between fully developed pipe flow and core–shell-structured microcapsule in a microchannel. Different flow rates and microcapsule shell thicknesses were considered. A sixth-order rotational symmetric distribution of von Mises stress over the microcapsule shell can be observed on the microcapsule with a thinner shell configuration, especially at higher flow rate conditions. It is also observed that when being carried along in a fully developed pipe flow, the microcapsule with a thinner shell tends to accumulate stress at a higher rate compared to that with a thicker shell. In general, for the same microcapsule configuration, higher flow velocity would induce a higher stress level over the microcapsule shell. The deformation gradient was used to capture the microcapsule's deformation in the present study. The effect of Young's modulus on the microcapsule shell on the microcapsule deformation was investigated as well. Our findings will shed light on the understanding of the stability of core–shell-structured microcapsule when subjected to flow-induced shear stress in a microfluidic system, enabling a more exquisite control over the breakup dynamics of drug-loaded microcapsule for biomedical applications.
