心电激励下的人体左心室力学响应分析

人体心脏通过电兴奋引起的心肌收缩实现泵血功能 ,而心肌的力学特性高度依赖于肌纤维结构。本文根据肌纤维旋向和复合材料理论以及电生理心脏模型建立了左心室的有限元机械模型 ,仿真研究了左心室在心电兴奋力作用下的力学响应。结果表明左心室的收缩过程是十分复杂的 ,包括轴向和径向的收缩及绕长轴的不同程度的旋转扭曲。从总体趋势上看 ,心尖处变形最为严重。此外 ,仿真结果还表明 ,心壁应力分布不均匀 ,从内壁到外壁有所减少 ;在心尖和心底部应力较大 ,其中内壁心尖处应力最大。这些结果说明了心脏的力学特性与心肌纤维结构、左心室的几何形状以及电兴奋刺激密切相关。作者将本文的仿真结果与医学图像及其它模型进行了对比分析 ,结果表明了该模型用于分析心肌力学功能特性的可行性

准静态离散元方法和线性粘弹性问题的模拟

离散元方法是近年发展起来的一种新数值方法,但原则上只能用于动态问题。从静力平衡条件出发建立了离散元系统的准静态演化方程并证明了系数矩阵具有对称正定、稀疏、带状分布等特点,适用于“有效列”方法求解,该解法比高斯消去法节省更多的内存和机时。通过引入广义Maxwell体的元间作用模型建立起线性粘弹性材料准静态响应的离散元模拟方法。该方法独立于传统动态离散元方法,是传统动态离散元方法的拓展,可望在更多领域获得应用。     

Percolation theory approach to transport phenomena in porous media

The percolation theory approach to static and dynamic properties of the single- and two-phase fluid flow in porous media is described. Using percolation cluster scaling laws, one can obtain functional relations between the saturation fraction of a given phase and the capillary pressure, the relative permeability, and the dispersion coefficient, in drainage and imbibition processes. In addition, the scale dependency of the transport coefficient is shown to be an outcome of the fractal nature of pore space and of the random flow pattern of the fluids or contaminant.     

Catalytic oxidation of soot particulates over MnOx-CeO2 oxides prepared by complexation-combustion method

MnOx-CeO2 oxides prepared by complexation-combustion method were used for soot oxidation. The highest conversion rate of soot was obtained on a MnOx-CeO2 oxide prepared under mild acid condition of pH = 4, where the oxidation temperature corresponding to maximum activity was decreased more than 150℃ compared with that of un-catalytic soot oxidation. The structure and property of the catalysts were investigated by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and temperature programmed reduction (TPR). The results indicate...     

Highly diastereoselective synthesis of 2-substituted-1,3-diols catalyzed by ketoreductases

The stereoselective reduction of α-substituted-β-hydroxy ketones for the preparation of the corresponding optically pure 2-monosubstituted or 2-disubstituted-1,3-diols is described. These transformations proceed in high optical purities and yields. Ketoreductases were able to catalyze the formation of either the syn or the anti diol, depending on the enzyme. By replacing the α-alkyl substituent for an OAc moiety, in low conversion time (≤24 h), ketoreductases catalyzed the formation of the OAc-protected 1,2,3-triol, in high yield and with high optical purity (>99% de, >99% ee). This is a simple and highly stereoselective method for the synthesis of different diastereomers of chiral diols.     

磷含量对NiMo/γ-Al_2O_3催化剂活性相结构的影响

采用程序升温还原(TPR)、高分辨透射电镜(HRTEM)和X射线光电子能谱(XPS)表征手段对共浸渍法制备的不同磷含量NiMo/γ-Al2O3催化剂进行了表征,研究了磷含量对NiMo/γ-Al2O3催化剂活性相结构的影响。TPR研究表明,磷能够减少四面体配位Mo物种的数量,增加八面体配位Mo物种的数量,促进高活性Ⅱ型"Ni-Mo-S"活性相的形成。HRTEM研究表明,随磷含量的增加,MoS2颗粒堆积层数增加,催化剂的加氢选择性提高;适量磷能够增加边角位有效Mo原子的分散度(fMo),增加催化剂表面加氢脱硫(HDS)和加氢脱氮(HDN)活性位的数量。上述结论得到了XPS表征的证实:适量磷增加了催化剂表面Mo原子浓度、提高有效助剂比率(PR)和提升比率(Ni/Mo),相应催化剂表现出最高的HDS和HDN活性;但过高磷含量能够引起MoS2颗粒过度堆积,片层长度过长,导致活性位数量减少,催化活性降低。     

A STATE SPACE BIOECONOMIC MODEL OF PACIFIC HALIBUT

Abstract Evaluation of potential economic consequences of alternative management actions requires an understanding of how the biological stock will be affected by the management action and an understanding of the response of economic systems to changes in the timing, magnitude, and size distribution of harvests and changes in the location and catchability of the biological stock. We use a hybrid structural time series model to represent Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) stock and recruitment dynamics and a system of structural equations to represent supply and demand relationships for Pacific halibut from Alaska and British Columbia. Model simulations explore the economic effects of changes in recruitment success, growth rate, and carrying capacity, and changes in international supplies of halibut.     

A critical look at the definition of multidimensional separations

Multidimensional (MD) separations, especially comprehensive two-dimensional (2D) separations such as comprehensive 2D LC (LC × LC), and comprehensive 2D GC (GC × GC), are potentially powerful separation techniques. It is important to have a clear definition of MD techniques to better understand the scope and boundaries of the subject. Widely accepted definitions of MD Separations have their roots in the definition proposed by Giddings. Giddings also added several comments that clarified the scope of his definition. However, some researchers extend Giddings’ definitions beyond their intended scope. Doing so disqualifies such comprehensive 2D techniques as LC × LC, GC × GC and 2D TLC from being considered as 2D techniques. In other instances, extended treatment of Giddings’ definition is used as a basis to justify design-parameters of comprehensive 2D separations despite the fact that these parameters lead to sub-optimal implementations. We believe that the shortcomings in the definition and its popular interpretations are serious enough to warrant attention, especially by those interested in designing optimal instrumentation for MD separations like comprehensive 2D GC. After discussion of the weaknesses in the currently used definitions, we propose to define n-dimensional analysis as one that generates n-dimensional displacement information. We believe that this definition captures the spirit of Giddings’ definition while avoiding the problems associated with its popular interpretations.
