Stress and heat flux stabilization for viscous compressible medium equations with a nonmonotone state function

We study a system of quasilinear equations describing one-dimensional flow of a viscous compressible heat-conducting medium with a nonmonotone state function and mass force. The large-time behavior of solutions is considered for arbitrarily large initial data. In spite of possible nonuniqueness and discontinuity of the stationary solution, we prove L²-stabilization for the stress and heat flux as t → ∞ along with corresponding global energy estimates for them. The new method of proof utilizes a combination of energy type equalities for the stress and heat flux. Consequently, H¹-stabilization of the velocity and temperature along with global estimates for their derivatives are valid as well.

Multivariate Polynomial Minimization and Its Application in Signal Processing

We make a conjecture that the number of isolated local minimum points of a 2n-degree or (2n+1)-degree r-variable polynomial is not greater than n ^r when n 2. We show that this conjecture is the minimal estimate, and is true in several cases. In particular, we show that a cubic polynomial of r variables may have at most one local minimum point though it may have 2^r critical points. We then study the global minimization problem of an even-degree multivariate polynomial whose leading order coefficient tensor is positive definite. We call such a multivariate polynomial a normal multivariate polynomial. By giving a one-variable polynomial majored below a normal multivariate polynomial, we show the existence of a global minimum of a normal multivariate polynomial, and give an upper bound of the norm of the global minimum and a lower bound of the global minimization value. We show that the quartic multivariate polynomial arising from broad-band antenna array signal processing, is a normal polynomial, and give a computable upper bound of the norm of the global minimum and a computable lower bound of the global minimization value of this normal quartic multivariate polynomial. We give some sufficient and necessary conditions for an even order tensor to be positive definite. Several challenging questions remain open.

论光滑粒子流体动力学(SPH)方法

“光滑粒子流体动力学(SPH-SmoothedParticleHydrodynamics)”是近20多年来发展起来的一种新的纯Lagrange方法.SPH是一种质点方法,有点类似质点网格法,但根本的不同点在于SPH方法中计算空间导数时不需要使用任何网格,而被插值公式中的解析微分式子所替代,从而避免了高维拉氏差分网格法中网格缠结和扭曲等最令人头痛的问题.这种方法另一个突出的优点是表现在对缺乏对称性和内含真空的三维系统的计算特别有效.因为利用网格建立的所有传统的差分方法,随着网格数目的增加,到了三维情形变得难以招架,真空区域的网格剖分造成内存储量的大量浪费又实在令人可惜,而SPH恰能克服上述的缺点.本论文重点介绍了该方法的理论基础和SPH执行过程等有关问题.     

Kinetics of epidermal growth factor/receptor binding on cells measured by total internal reflection/fluorescence recovery after photobleaching

Total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy is used to measure the dissociation kinetic rate of fluorescein-labeled epidermal growth factor from its specific receptors on the surface of intact but mildly fixed A431 human epidermoid cells in culture. Prior applications of TIRF microscopy have been limited to nonreceptor binding or to model membrane systems. The evanescent field excites fluorescence selectively at the surface of the cell proximal to the coverslip. Prismless epiillumination TIR is employed to avoid space limitations and is achieved by passing the excitation laser beam through a high (1.4)-aperture objective so that the light is incident at the glass/water interface beyond the critical angle. Long-term focus is maintained by a special feedback system. Of the possible effects that can influence the time course of the postbleach fluorescence recoveries—the EGF/receptor dissociation ratek ₂, the bulk solution diffusion rate of EGF, and the cell surface motion of the receptors—we infer that the dissociation ratek ₂ dominates. Several fitting schemes are compared and indicate the presence of a multiplicity of values fork ₂, ranging from about 0.05 to 0.004 s^–1, with an average value of about 0.012 s^–1. These results compare well with values previously obtained by radiolabel/washing techniques. The significance of the results in terms of kinetic models and the advantages of the TIRF technique for these sorts of measurements are discussed.     

环形装置中三维MHD平衡与稳定性的计算机模拟

一、引 言 在聚变研究中,环形等离子体的磁约束起着重要作用。目前托卡马克研究的进展令人鼓舞,其理论与实验比较符合,定标关系清楚。但是无论从聚变的最终目标来看,还是从实验的安排考虑,完全轴对称的几何形状给各方面部带来许多不便。人们希望知道如果把环形几何中加进直线段,或者把圆环改成不具有对称性的环形,会对等离子体约束产生何种影响?

准噶尔盆地中部琵琶柴(Reaumuria soongorica)群落的生境研究

琵琶柴(Reaumuria soongorica)在我国荒漠区分布较广,是极为耐旱的群落类型之一,这一群落均见于干旱区低平地形,且均着生于淤积粘土中。调查证实:地表短期积水是琵琶柴幼体发生与建群过程的必要条件,但其成株生存环境,通常极为干燥,在其生活周期的不同发育阶段。生境呈现明显的异质现象。
