Algebraic Multigrid Preconditioning for Finite Element Solution of Inhomogeneous Elastic Inclusion Problems in Articular Cartilage

In studying biomechanical deformation in articular cartilage, the presence of cells (chondrocytes) necessitates the consideration of inhomogeneous elasticity problems in which cells are idealized as soft inclusions within a stiff extracellular matrix. An analytical solution of a soft inclusion problem is derived and used to evaluate iterative numerical solutions of the associated linear algebraic system based on discretization via the finite element method, and use of an iterative conjugate gradient method with algebraic multigrid preconditioning (AMG-PCG). Accuracy and efficiency of the AMG-PCG algorithm is compared to two other conjugate gradient algorithms with diagonal preconditioning (DS-PCG) or a modified incomplete LU decomposition (Euclid-PCG) based on comparison to the analytical solution. While all three algorithms are shown to be accurate, the AMG-PCG algorithm is demonstrated to provide significant savings in CPU time as the number of nodal unknowns is increased. In contrast to the other two algorithms, the AMG-PCG algorithm also exhibits little sensitivity of CPU time and number of iterations to variations in material properties that are known to significantly affect model variables. Results demonstrate the benefits of algebraic multigrid preconditioners for the iterative solution of assembled linear systems based on finite element modeling of soft elastic inclusion problems and may be particularly advantageous for large scale problems with many nodal unknowns.

The Effect of Pea Chloroplast Alignment and Variation of Excitation Wavelength on the Circularly Polarized Chlorophyll Luminescence

Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) is a powerful technique to study the macroorganization of photosynthetic light-harvesting apparatus in vivo and in vitro. It is particularly useful for monitoring environmental stress induced molecular re-organization of thylakoid membranes in green leaves. The current study focuses on two questions which are important to perform and interpret such experiments: how does CPL depend on the excitation wavelength and how on the orientation of the granal thylakoids. CPL and circular dichroism (CD) of pea chloroplasts were complementarily applied when chloroplasts were either in suspension or trapped in a polyacrylamide gel (PAAG) after alignment in a magnetic field. In contrast to the CD spectrum, the CPL signal was found to be independent of the excitation wavelength in both the Soret and the Qy absorption region for chloroplasts in both suspension and PAAG. The improved resolution of luminescence measurements revealed a relatively small negative CPL band in addition to the previously described large positive band. No effect of photoselection upon excitation on the CPL spectra was detected. The CPL intensity at 690 nm at the edge of the granal thylakoids was found to be higher than at the face of the grana suggesting the CPL anisotropy.

一种基于共轭节面的图像畸变分析方法

无像差的光学相机的成像模型可由其共轭节面模型等效表示。针孔模型本身忽略了偏离该等效模型的误差,也无法表示平板玻璃的平移误差、光轴的安装误差以及实际相机光学系统的像差,这四个因素都会引起图像畸变。基于此利用共轭节面的性质建立了一种图像畸变几何模型,并与广泛采用的像差模型进行了对比,从理论上解释了像差模型各个系数的物理意义。对某实际针孔相机进行仿真分析,该几何模型给出的相对径向畸变、角度误差在设计参数的范围以内,并且可以模拟图像的非对称畸变。该几何模型需要辨识包含主面相关参数、光轴倾斜角和平板玻璃的轴向球差在内的4个参数,辨识参数较少,理论上可以作为一种新的图像畸变校正方法。

Mixing of scalar meson and baryon-baryon interaction

At quark level,we study the effect of ideal mixing of singlet σ 0 and octet σ 8 scalar mesons on baryon-baryon interaction in the chiral SU（3） quark model.We solve the resonating group method equation for scattering process and bound state.The results show that the binding energy of deuteron and nucleonnucleon and hyperon-nucleon scattering data can be reasonably described for ideal mixing.Taking the same parameters we used in the scattering calculation,we further investigate the possible dibaryons and find the binding energy of （ΩΩ） ST =00 and （Ξ ＊Ω） ST =0 1 2 can be reduced a lot for ideal mixing.     

Three-dimensional integrable models and associated tangle invariants

In this paper we show that the Boltzmann weights of the three-dimensional Baxter-Bazhanov model give representations of the braid group if some suitable spectral limits are taken. In the trigonometric case we classify all possible spectral limits which produce braid group representations. Furthermore, we prove that for some of them we get cyclotomic invariants of links and for others we obtain tangle invariants generalizing the cyclotomic ones.
