运用三维离散元技术模拟落锤撞击下奥克托今颗粒的点火燃烧过程

炸药颗粒的点火燃烧过程一直是人们关注的热点问题。近年来，三维离散元技术在中尺度观测颗粒材料的动力学过程中拥有显著优势。炸药燃烧属于颗粒材料的反应动力学，运用三维离散元技术(DM3)可以有效地观测炸药燃烧传播的过程。以奥克托今(HMX)颗粒为例，本文成功模拟并观测到了HMX颗粒的燃烧反应程度，确定了颗粒开始燃烧反应的时间，以及燃烧反应传播的时间。同时，结合落锤冲击颗粒的三维图像以及其表观压强和放热功率，得到了HMX颗粒燃烧反应、燃烧传播的整个反应动力学过程，包括颗粒在冲击加载下碎化塑性变形的过程，颗粒燃烧反应放热的过程，落锤回弹颗粒喷射的过程等。同时，进一步说明了尖顶颗粒更利于颗粒点火，平顶颗粒有抑制颗粒点火的能力。     

Words that almost commute

The Hamming distance $\mathrm{ham}(u,v)$ between two equal-length words u, v is the number of positions where u and v differ. The words u and v are said to be conjugates if there exist non-empty words $x,y$ such that $u=xy$ and $v=yx$. The smallest value $\mathrm{ham}(xy,yx)$ can take on is 0, when x and y commute. But, interestingly, the next smallest value $\mathrm{ham}(xy,yx)$ can take on is 2 and not 1. In this paper, we consider conjugates $u=xy$ and $v=yx$ where $\mathrm{ham}(xy,yx)=2$. More specifically, we provide an efficient formula to count the number $h(n)$ of length-n words $u=xy$ over a k-letter alphabet that have a conjugate $v=yx$ such that $\mathrm{ham}(xy,yx)=2$. We also provide efficient formulae for other quantities closely related to $h(n)$. Finally, we show that $h(n)$ grows erratically: cubically for n prime, but exponentially for n even.

Molecular insight for the role of key residues of calreticulin in its binding activities: A computational study

Calreticulin (CRT) is localized to and has functions in multiple cellular compartments, including the cell surface, the endoplasmic reticulum, and the extracellular matrix. Mutagenesis studies have identified several residues on a concave β-sheet surface of CRT critical for CRT binding to carbohydrate and other proteins/peptides. How the mutations of these key residues in CRT affect the conformation and dynamics of CRT, further influencing CRT binding to carbohydrates and other proteins to signal the important biological activities remain unknown. In this study, we investigated the effect of three key point mutations (C105A, C137A and W319A) on CRT conformation and dynamics via atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. Results show that these three key residues mutations induced the changes of CRT local backbone flexibility and secondary structure of CRT N-domain, which could further affect CRT’s binding activity. C137A mutation led to dramatic decrease of the overall size of CRT due to the P-domain fold back to the globular domain and formed new inter-domain contacts, which can cause blockage of CRT’s binding with other large substrates. Furthermore, for CRT concave β-strand surface patch containing lectin binding site, CRT C105A, C137A and W319A point mutation resulted in the changes in solvent accessible surface area, key residues’ side chain atom positions and dynamical correlated motions between residues. All these changes could directly affect CRT binding behavior. Results of this study provide molecular and structural insights into understanding the role of key residues of CRT in its binding behavior.     

A suite of algorithms for key distribution and authentication in centralized secure multicast environments

The Extended Euclidean algorithm provides a fast solution to the problem of finding the greatest common divisor of two numbers. In this paper, we present three applications of the algorithm to the security and privacy field. The first one allows one to privately distribute a secret to a set of recipients with only one multicast communication. It can be used for rekeying purposes in a Secure Multicast scenario. The second one is an authentication mechanism to be used in environments in which a public-key infrastructure is not available. Finally, the third application of the Extended Euclidean algorithm is a zero-knowledge proof that reduces the number of messages between the two parts involved, with the aid of a central server.     

On the nature and the practical relevance of the molecular modifications induced in wheat proteins by high pressure treatment

Abstract

Modifications induced by the combined application of pressure (up to 800 MPa) and temperature (up to 80° C) were studied on wet and dry semolina, and on fresh pasta as such and after cooking. Rheological and immunochemical properties of the treated products were investigated, along with parameters indicating the extent of protein denaturation. No modification occurs in semolina treated at less than 45% water, below 60°C/800MPa for 10min. Egg noodles prepared from pressure/heat treated semolina had increased protein digestibility and low recognition by anti-gliadin antibodies either before or after cooking. The same effects were observed in heat/pressure treated pasta, but were lost upon subsequent cooking, although we found decreased immunochemical reactivity after heat/pressure treatment of cooked pasta. No sensory difference was found between cooked and pressure-treated semolina products.
