Diffusion-induced Spatio-temporal Oscillations in an Epidemic Model with Two Delays

We investigate a diffusive, stage-structured epidemic model with the maturation delay and freelymoving delay. Choosing delays and diffusive rates as bifurcation parameters, the only possible way to destabilize the endemic equilibrium is through Hopf bifurcation. The normal forms of Hopf bifurcations on the center manifold are calculated, and explicit formulae determining the criticality of bifurcations are derived. There are two different kinds of stable oscillations near the first bifurcation: ...

高频医用超声成像技术因其高空间分辨率而被广泛应用于人体组织的精细结构观察,其中高频超声换能器的核心材料是1-3型压电复合材料。采用软模板法直接烧结了锆钛酸铅(PZT)压电微柱阵列,进而制备PZT/环氧1-3型压电复合材料,并对其进行了微观结构观察和电学性能表征。材料微观结构完整,机电耦合系数达到0.64。采用此复合材料制备了中心频率为20 MHz的高频超声换能器。采用脉冲回波法对换能器进行了性能和声场测试,并利用其对人体皮肤进行了超声成像,换能器的插入损耗、带宽分别为13.1 dB和84.2%。结果表明,软模法制备的1-3型压电复合材料能使高频超声换能器兼具低插入损耗和大带宽,这为高性能高频医用超声换能器提供了一种低成本、高效率的商业化制备方法。     

The Golden Touch by Light: A Finely Engineered Luminogen Empowering High Photoactivatable and Photodynamic Efficiency for Cancer Phototheranostics

Photoactivatable agent is a powerful tool in biomedicine studies due to high-precision spatiotemporal control of light. However, those previously reported agents generally suffer from short wavelength, fluorescence self-quenching effect, and the lack of photosensitizing property, which severely restrict their practical applications. To address these issues, molecular engineering of 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives is conducted to obtain an optimized agent, namely TPA-DHPy-Py, which exhibits low oxidation potential, high photoactivation efficiency, and excellent type I/II combined photodynamic activity. Concurrently, its photoactivated counterpart is featured by aggregation-induced near-infrared emission and remarkable reactive oxygen species (ROS) production efficiency. Upon photoactivation, TPA-DHPy-Py is capable of precisely identifying cancer cells from co-culturing cancer cells and normal cells without the assistance of any extra targeting units, and in situ monitoring lipid droplets and endoplasmic reticulum alteration under ROS stress, as well as achieving fluorescent visualization of tumor in vivo with supremely high imaging contrast. Furthermore, the unprecedented performance on photodynamic cancer therapy is demonstrated by the significant inhibition of tumor growth. Therefore, the photoactivatable TPA-DHPy-Py with dual-organelle-targeted and excellent photodynamic activity associated with self-monitoring ability is highly promising for cancer theranostics in clinical trials.     

考虑可平移负荷的综合能源系统动态优化调度策略

综合能源系统因多能互补、协调优化等特性受到了广泛关注,但该系统的热电机组在运行时的调峰能力具有一定局限性。为降低综合能源系统的用能成本,提升系统的用能效率,改善其调峰能力,文中提出了一种考虑可平移负荷的综合能源系统动态优化调度策略。该策略以系统的整体运维成本最小化为目标,结合可平移负荷和相关算例构建仿真模型,并采用自适应混沌粒子群算法进行求解。结果表明在引入可平移负荷时,多能源微网能够较好地达到削峰填谷目的,并降低系统综合运行成本,实现节能减排效果。同时,文中将传统粒子群算法与自适应混沌粒子群算法作比较,证明了自适应混沌粒子群算法在精度与效率上都优于传统的粒子群算法。     

预估型氨法脱硫控制系统研究

燃煤发电系统中氨法脱硫控制系统具有时变、大延时、大惯性的特点。针对典型的大延迟系统,文中提出基于Smith预估器的脱硫控制系统,通过抵消系统被控对象中的纯滞后环节来提高系统的实时性。Smith预估器依赖准确的PID模型,系统中PID参数整定仍存在不确定性。利用SOA算法对PID参数进行整定,将绝对误差积分ITAE作为适应度函数,通过对适应度值的不断寻优,找到最佳的比例积分微分系数组合。仿真结果表明,相较于Smith预估器控制下的脱硫系统,基于SOA的Smith预估PID控制系统跟随性好且反应迅速,调节时间缩小为原来的9%,峰值时间缩小为原来的5%,具有较小的超调量,系统的实时性和稳定性得到保证。上述结果证明该算法对工程控制系统有效,并具有良好的应用前景。     

Parametric normalization for full-energy peak count rates obtained at different geometries

The Effective Interaction Depth (EID) law has been systematically studied and applied to parametric normalization for peak count rates obtained at different source-detector distances (S-D). The errors caused by EID normalization are less than 4% over the full range of S-D (from to several mm) for true coincidence-free -rays. Parametric corrections for the true coincidence (summing) effect are also established, based on simplified decay schemes and P/T ratio determinations. The total response of Ge detector for single-energy -rays (T) is clearly defined with scattering contributions from surroundings included. Errors from summing effect corrections are also less than 4%. The combined EID normalization and summing effect corrections give an error no greater than 5.7% for the worst situations (several mm S-D and cascade-crossover decay scheme), acceptable for most practical K₀ NAA.
