基于LS-DYNA的高速破片水中运动特性流固耦合数值模拟

基于大型有限元分析软件ANSYS/LS-DYNA,建立三维长方体高速破片在水介质中运动的有限元动力分析模型,采用ALE方法对破片在水下运动过程进行流固耦合数值模拟,获得了破片的速度衰减曲线。研究了速度衰减规律、破片墩粗变形规律以及冲击波传播过程。得到高速破片的侵彻能力随速度的变化规律:当初速度大于910~1 115m/s时破片头部将产生显著变形,并大大影响其侵彻阻力;当破片速度较小时,水中侵彻距离随破片初速的增大而增大,当破片速度达到某临界值以后,侵彻距离将随初始速度的增大而逐渐减小。     

Simulating train movement in an urban railway based on an improved car-following model

Based on the optimal velocity car-following model, in this paper, we propose an improved model for simulating train movement in an urban railway in which the regenerative energy of a train is considered. Here a new additional term is introduced into a traditional car-following model. Our aim is to analyze and discuss the dynamic characteristics of the train movement when the regenerative energy is utilized by the electric locomotive. The simulation results indicate that the improved car-following model is suitable for simulating the train movement. Further, some qualitative relationships between regenerative energy and dynamic characteristics of a train are investigated, such as the measurement data of regenerative energy presents a power-law distribution. Our results are useful for optimizing the design and plan of urban railway systems.     

相对论的协变场是虚构

基于洛伦兹电子论和洛伦兹磁力,否定法拉第定律和相对论电磁学,暨揭示广义洛伦兹磁力的科学研究之五:相对论的协变场是荒唐。本文基于洛伦兹电子论和洛伦兹磁力,论证表明:协变换出来的磁力线成为直线,它违背客观事实;协变换出来的环形电力线更荒唐;协变换出来的电磁场成为无穷大,广义洛伦兹磁力才是真谛;两电荷对撞时协变换出来的排斥力成为虚数,它违背客观事。     

Exploring human rhythmic gait movement in the role of cerebral cortex signal

The rhythmic movement is a spontaneous behavior due to the central pattern generator (CPG). At present, the CPG model only shows the spontaneous behavior, but does not refer to the instruction regulation role of the cerebral cortex. In this paper, a modified model based on the Matsuoka neural oscillator theory is presented to better show the regulation role of the cerebral cortex signal to the CPG neuronal network. The complex interaction between the input signal and other parameters in the CPG network is established, making all parameters of the CPG vary with the input signal. In this way, the effect of the input signal to the CPG network is enhanced so that the CPG network can express the self-regulation movement state instead of being limited to the spontaneous behavior, and thus the regulation role of the cerebral cortex signal can be reflected. Numerical simulation shows that the modified model can generate various movement forms with different modes, frequencies, and interchanges between them. It is revealed in theories that the cerebral cortex signal can regulate the mode and frequency of the gait in the course of the gait movement.     

In vitro migration capacity of human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells reflects their expression of receptors for chemokines and growth factors

The homing properties of adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AdMSCs) have stimulated intravenous applications for their use in stem cell therapy. However, the soluble factors and corresponding cellular receptors responsible for inducing chemotaxis of AdMSCs have not yet been reported. In the present study, the migration capacity of human AdMSCs (hAdMSCs) toward various cytokines or growth factors (GFs) and the expression of their receptors were determined. In a conventional migration assay, PDGF-AB, TGF-β1, and TNF-α showed the most effective chemoattractant activity. When AdMSCs were preincubated with various chemokines or GF, and then allowed to migrate toward medium containing 10% FBS, those preincubated with TNF-α showed the highest migratory activity. Next, hAdMSCs were either preincubated or not with TNF-α, and allowed to migrate in response to various GFs or chemokines. Prestimulation with TNF-α increased the migration activity of hAdMSCs compared to unstimulated hAdMSCs. When analyzed by FACS and RT-PCR methods, hAdMSCs were found to express C-C chemokine receptor type 1 (CCR1), CCR7, C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4), CXCR5, CXCR6, EGF receptor, fibroblast growth factor receptor 1, TGF-β receptor 2, TNF receptor superfamily member 1A, PDGF receptor A and PDGF receptor B at both the protein and the mRNA levels. These results indicate that the migration capacity of hAdMSCs is controlled by various GFs and chemokines. Prior in vitro modulation of the homing capacity of hAdMSCs could stimulate their movement into injured sites in vivo when administered intravenously, thereby improving their therapeutic potential.     

Unidirectional redox-stimulated movement around a C-C single bond

A remarkable challenge for the design of molecular machines is the realization of a synchronized and unidirectional movement caused by an external stimulus. Such a movement can be achieved by a unidirectionally controlled change of the conformation or the configuration. Biphenol derivatives are one possibility to realize a redox-driven unidirectional molecular switch. For this reason, a 4,4'-biphenol derivative was fixed to a chiral cyclopeptidic scaffold and stimulated by chemical oxidants and reduction agents. The conformation of the switch was determined by DFT calculations by using B3LYP and the 6-31G* basis set. The switching process was observed by UV and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopic measurements. Several oxidation agents and various conditions were tested, among which (diacetoxy)iodobenzene (DAIB) in methanol proved to be the best. In this way it was possible to synthesize a redox-stimulated molecular switch with a movement that is part of a rotation around a biaryl binding axis.     

Effect of Different Saline,Alkaline Salts,Fertilizers and Surfactants on the Movement of Some Carbamoyl Group Containing Pesticides in Soils

Abstract

The influence of organic matter, calcium carbonate, flyash, saline and alkaline salts, inorganic fertilizers, surfactants and exchangeable ions on the mobility of five carbamoyl group containing pesticides has been studied using soil thin-layer chromatography. The variations in the R_f, R_B and R_M values of aldicarb, bavistin, carbofuran, dimecron and oxamyl under different treatments are reported and explained on the basis of adsorption and leachability.     

Detecting high-dimensional determinism in time series with application to human movement data

We numerically investigate the ability of a statistic to detect determinism in time series generated by high-dimensional continuous chaotic systems. This recently introduced statistic (denoted V_E2) is derived from the averaged false nearest neighbors method for analyzing data. Using surrogate data tests, we show that the proposed statistic is able to discriminate high-dimensional chaotic data from their stochastic counterparts. By analyzing the effect of the length of the available data, we show that the proposed criterion is efficient for relatively short time series. Finally, we apply the method to real-world data from biomechanics, namely postural sway time series. In this case, the results led us to exclude the hypothesis of nonlinear deterministic underlying dynamics for the observed phenomena.

On discrete maximum principle

A model of optimal control for discrete systems and the historical development of the discrete maximum principle are considered. The paper deals with local optimality conditions of the first order, e.g. with a local maximum-principle and a quasi-maximum principle. Furthermore, optimality conditions of higher order, e. g. an optimality condition for singular controls are given.
