Analysis of ultrasonic guided waves propagating in long bones and cortical thickness based on time-frequency methods

The ultrasonic signals in long bones contain multiple guided modes which are mutual superposed.The velocities of guided waves in long bones are very sensitive to cortical thickness (CTh).In this paper,Hilbert-Huang transform(HHT) was proposed to analyze multi-mode guided waves,which can decompose superposed waves into many independent modes.Then the group velocity of each mode was obtained at corresponding frequency,which was compared with the results of short time Fourier transform(STFT).The CTh was also obtained by comparing with the theoretical calculation.The results showed that the experimental determined thickness was in agreement with the actual CTh,indicating that measuring the velocity of the guided mode can be used to estimate the CTh.The HHT is an effective method to identify multimode guided waves.     

基于时频分布的盲信号分离方法研究长骨中的多模式导波信号

由于超声导波对长骨皮质骨的材料特性及厚度变化非常敏感,因此用导波评价长骨状况的研究已成为近年来的一个研究热点。在接收到的导波中,往往多种模式混叠在一起,使得进一步求取每种导波模式的群速度等与骨质状况密切相关的参数时遇到困难。本文采用基于时频分布的盲信号分离(TFBSS)方法对长骨中混叠的多模式进行分离,然后对分离后的单一导波模式求取群速度。研究结果表明TFBSS方法能够准确的分离出混叠的多模式导波,且实验测量的群速度与其理论值吻合。利用导波的群速度就可以得到长骨皮质骨的厚度,这对诊断其骨质状况具有重要意义。     

ON THE SUSTAINABLE GROWTH IN AN ECONOMY WITH PERFECTLY SUBSTITUTABLE EXHAUSTIBLE RESOURCES

Abstract A model of sustainable economic growth in an economy with two types of exhaustible resources is analyzed. The resources are assumed to be perfect substitutes with marginal rate of substitution varying over time. The optimal control framework is used to characterize the optimal paths under the maximin criterion. It is shown that the resource with increasing productivity is not used before the constant productivity resource is depleted. Afterwards the resource with an increasing productivity is asymptotically depleted as well. The results are based on an assumption that transversality conditions hold. A new sufficient condition for the transversality conditions is derived. Finally, an analogue of Hartwick’s rule for this non‐autonomous case is established.     

Effect of selected signals of interest on ultrasonic backscattering measurement in cancellous bones

This study examined how the signals of interest (SOI) effect on the backscattering measurement numerically based on 3-D finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. High resolution microstructure mappings of bovine cancellous bones provided by micro-CT were used as the input geometry for simulations. Backscatter coefficient (BSC), integrated backscatter coefficient (IBC) and apparent integrated backscatter (AIB) were calculated with changing the start (L1) and duration (L2) of the SOI. The results demonstrated that BSC and IBC decrease as L1 increases, and AIB decreases more rapidly as L1 increases. The backscattering parameters increase with fluctuations as a function of L2 when L2 is less than 6 mm. However, BSC and IBC change little as L2 continues to increase, while AIB slowly decreases as L2 continues to increase. The results showed how the selections of the SOI effect on the backscattering measurement. An explicit standard for SOI selection was proposed in this study and short L1 (about 1.5 mm) and appropriate L2 (6 mm-12 mm) were recommended for the calculations of backscattering parameters.     

Multiscale expansions in discrete world

In this paper, we show the attainability of KdV equation from some types of nonlinear Schrödinger equation by using multiscale expansions discretely. The power of this manageable method is confirmed by applying it to two selected nonlinear Schrödinger evolution equations. This approach can also be applied to other nonlinear discrete evolution equations. All the computations have been made with Maple computer packet program.     

MMFF VI. MMFF94s option for energy minimization studies

This article describes the derivation of MMFF94s, which is the “s” (static) variant of MMFF94. MMFF94s incorporates altered out of plane bending parameters that yield planar (or nearly planar) energy-minimized geometries at unstrained delocalized trigonal nitrogen centers. Some experimental and most theoretical structures show appreciable puckering at nitrogen in isolated structures. However, condensed-phase effects or even strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding tends to reduce, but need not eliminate, such puckering; in contravention to results reported on the lower level Hartree–Fock surface, we show in the correlated LMP2/6-31G** calculations for the Watson–Crick guanine–cytosine base pair that one of the hydrogen-bonded NH₂ groups remains appreciably puckered. The resultant MMFF94s geometries emulate the “time-averaged” structures typically observed in crystallographic and most other experimental structure determinations. MMFF94s also employs modified torsion parameters for interactions that involve such centers, but is identical to MMFF94 for other systems. Isolated instances are found in which MMFF94s fails to locate a (probably shallow) local minimum found on the MMFF94 and reference MP2/6-31G* surfaces. In general, however, MMFF94s describes conformation energies for delocalized trigonal nitrogen systems nearly as well as MMFF94 does. ©1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Consensus bond-charge increments fitted to electrostatic potential or field of many compounds: Application to MMFF94 training set

Bond-charge increments (BCIs) are additive parameters used to assign atomic charges for the MMFF force field. BCI parameters are classified parsimoniously according to two atom types and the bond order. We show how BCIs may be fitted rapidly by linear least squares to the calculated ab initio electrostatic potential (ESP) or to the electrostatic field. When applied simultaneously to a set of compounds or conformations, the method yields consensus values of the BCIs. The method can also derive conventional “ESP-fit” atomic charges with improved numerical stability. The method may be generalized to determine atom multipoles, multicenter charge templates, or electronegativities, but not polarizability or hardness. We determine 65 potential-derived (PD) BCI parameters, which are classified as in MMFF, by fitting the 6-31G* ESP or the electrostatic field of the 45 compounds in the original MMFF94 training set. We compare the consensus BCIs with classified BCIs that were fit to each molecule individually and with “unique-bond” BCIs (ESP-derived atom charges). Consensus BCIs give a satisfactory representation for about half of the structures and are robust to the adjustment of the alkyl CH bond increment to the zero value employed in MMFF94. We highlight problems at three levels: Point approximation: the potential near lone pairs on sulfur and to some extent nitrogen cannot be represented just by atom charges. Bond classification: BCIs classified according to MMFF atom types cannot represent all delocalized electronic effects. The problem is especially severe for bonds between atoms of equivalent MMFF type, whose BCI must be taken as zero. Consensus: discrepancies that occur in forming the consensus across the training set indicate the need for a more detailed classification of BCIs. Contradictions are seen (e.g., between acetic acid and acetone and between guanidine and formaldehydeimine). We then test the three sets of PD-BCIs in energy minimizations of hydrogen-bonded dimers. Unique-bond BCIs used with the MMFF buffered 14–7 potential reproduce unscaled quantum chemical dimer interaction energies within 0.9 kcal/mol root mean square (or 0.5, omitting two N-oxides). These energies are on average 0.7 (or 0.5) kcal/mol too weak to reproduce the scaled quantum mechanical (SQM) results that are a benchmark for MMFF parameterization. Consensus BCIs tend to weaken the dimer energy by a further 0.4–0.6 kcal/mol. Thus, consensus PD-BCIs can serve as a starting point for MMFF parameterization, but they require both systematic and individual adjustments. Used with a “harder” AMBER-like Lennard–Jones potential, unique-bond PD-BCIs without systematic adjustment give dimer energies in fairly good agreement with SQM. ©1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
