Open manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature and large volume growth

In this paper, we study complete open n-dimensional Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature and large volume growth. We prove among other things that such a manifold is diffeomorphic to a Euclidean n-space if its sectional curvature is bounded from below and the volume growth of geodesic balls around some point is not too far from that of the balls in .

Baryon masses in large N c chiral perturbation theory

We analyse the baryon mass spectrum in a framework which combines the 1/N _c expansion with chiral perturbation theory. Meson loop contributions involving the full SU(3) octet of pseudoscalar Goldstone bosons are evaluated, and the influence of explicit chiral and flavor symmetry breaking by non-zero and unequal quark masses is investigated. We also discuss sigma terms and the strangeness contribution to the nucleon mass. Received: 29 June 1998 / Revised version: 25 November 1998     

Non-premixed turbulent combustion modeling based on the filtered turbulent flamelet equation

In turbulent combustion simulations, the flow structure at the unresolved scale level needs to be reasonably modeled. Following the idea of turbulent flamelet equation for the non-premixed flame case, which was derived based on the filtered governing equations(L. Wang, Combust. Flame 175, 259(2017)), the scalar dissipation term for tabulation can be directly computed from the resolved flowing quantities, instead of solving species transport equations. Therefore, the challenging source term closure for the scalar dissipation or any assumed probability density functions can be avoided;meanwhile the chemical sources are closed by scaling relations. The general principles are discussed in the context of large eddy simulation with case validation. The new model predictions of the bluff-body flame show sufficiently improved results, compared with these from the classic progress-variable approach.     

Combination of GC-MS Molecular Networking and Larvicidal Effect against Aedes aegypti for the Discovery of Bioactive Substances in Commercial Essential Oils

Dengue is a neglected disease, present mainly in tropical countries, with more than 5.2 million cases reported in 2019. Vector control remains the most effective protective measure against dengue and other arboviruses. Synthetic insecticides based on organophosphates, pyrethroids, carbamates, neonicotinoids and oxadiazines are unattractive due to their high degree of toxicity to humans, animals and the environment. Conversely, natural-product-based larvicides/insecticides, such as essential oils, present high efficiency, low environmental toxicity and can be easily scaled up for industrial processes. However, essential oils are highly complex and require modern analytical and computational approaches to streamline the identification of bioactive substances. This study combined the GC-MS spectral similarity network approach with larvicidal assays as a new strategy for the discovery of potential bioactive substances in complex biological samples, enabling the systematic and simultaneous annotation of substances in 20 essential oils through LC₅₀ larvicidal assays. This strategy allowed rapid intuitive discovery of distribution patterns between families and metabolic classes in clusters, and the prediction of larvicidal properties of acyclic monoterpene derivatives, including citral, neral, citronellal and citronellol, and their acetate forms (LC₅₀ < 50 µg/mL).     

壁面在展向作周期运动的槽道湍流的大涡模拟

分别采用3种亚格子模式:传统的Smagorinsky模式、动力Smagorinsky模式和Cui(2004)基于Kolmogorov方程所提出的新模式,对壁面在展向作周期运动的槽道湍流进行了大涡模拟,以考察这3种模式对平均运动为三维、非定常的湍流流动的模拟能力.通过对湍流基本统计量的分析,发现动力模式和新模式都可以较好地预测这种三维非定常的湍流流动;对相位平均的湍流统计量,动力模式的结果略优于新模式;传统的Smagorinsky模式对这种流动的预测结果是最差的.     

计算中子增殖率的时间强迫碰撞方法

为获得更多粒子在特定时间步内的碰撞信息,给出3种解决介质非均匀的时间强迫碰撞抽样目的:离散化抽样目的,强截面抽样目的和均匀时间抽样目的.将强迫碰撞目的由只适合在各自均匀的几何区域内分别强迫碰撞,扩展为也适合在特定时间步内中子可能经过任意非均匀介质的强迫碰撞.通过一个简单的增殖系统的中子增殖率计算问题,对时间强迫碰撞的3种目的和直接模拟目的进行了计算比较.结果表明,3种时间强迫碰撞目的的效率相差不大,但明显优于直接模拟目的,当步长从2×10^-5缩至10^-6μs,FOM(计算效率或称优度)约高出2至4个量级.
