Here, we perform systematic studies on the elastic properties of the Cu–6wt% Ag alloy wire, which is a promising candidate material for the new-generation pulsed magnets, by employing two independent ultrasonic techniques, i.e., resonant ultrasound spectroscopy(RUS) and ultrasound pulse-echo experiments. Our RUS measurements manifest that the elastic properties of the Cu–6wt% Ag alloy wires can be improved by an electroplastic drawing procedure as compared with the conventional cold drawing. We also take this opportunity to test the availability of our newly-built ultrasound pulse-echo facility at the Wuhan National High Magnetic Field Center(WHMFC, China), and the results suggest that the elastic performance of the electroplastically-drawn Cu–6wt% Ag alloy wire remains excellent without anomalous softening under extreme conditions,e.g., in ultra-high magnetic field up to 50 T and nitrogen or helium cryogenic liquids.展开更多

Especially when GA is used in complex structural optimization problems, if the structural reanalysis technique is not adopted, the more the number of finite element analysis (FEA) is, the more the consuming time is. In the conventional structural optimization the number of FEA can be reduced by the structural reanalysis technique based on the approximation techniques and sensitivity analysis. With these techniques, this paper provides a new approximation model-segment approximation model, adopted for the GA application. This segment approximation model can decrease the number of FEA and increase the convergence rate of GA. So it can apparently decrease the computation time of GA. Two examples demonstrate the availability of the new segment approximation model.展开更多

文摘Synaptic pruning is a crucial process in synaptic refinement,eliminating unstable synaptic connections in neural circuits.This process is triggered and regulated primarily by spontaneous neural activity and experience-dependent mechanisms.The pruning process involves multiple molecular signals and a series of regulatory activities governing the“eat me”and“don't eat me”states.Under physiological conditions,the interaction between glial cells and neurons results in the clearance of unnecessary synapses,maintaining normal neural circuit functionality via synaptic pruning.Alterations in genetic and environmental factors can lead to imbalanced synaptic pruning,thus promoting the occurrence and development of autism spectrum disorder,schizophrenia,Alzheimer's disease,and other neurological disorders.In this review,we investigated the molecular mechanisms responsible for synaptic pruning during neural development.We focus on how synaptic pruning can regulate neural circuits and its association with neurological disorders.Furthermore,we discuss the application of emerging optical and imaging technologies to observe synaptic structure and function,as well as their potential for clinical translation.Our aim was to enhance our understanding of synaptic pruning during neural development,including the molecular basis underlying the regulation of synaptic function and the dynamic changes in synaptic density,and to investigate the potential role of these mechanisms in the pathophysiology of neurological diseases,thus providing a theoretical foundation for the treatment of neurological disorders.

文摘Disordered ferromagnets with a domain structure that exhibit a hysteresis loop when driven by the external magnetic field are essential materials for modern technological applications.Therefore,the understanding and potential for controlling the hysteresis phenomenon in thesematerials,especially concerning the disorder-induced critical behavior on the hysteresis loop,have attracted significant experimental,theoretical,and numerical research efforts.We review the challenges of the numerical modeling of physical phenomena behind the hysteresis loop critical behavior in disordered ferromagnetic systems related to the non-equilibriumstochastic dynamics of domain walls driven by external fields.Specifically,using the extended Random Field Ising Model,we present different simulation approaches and advanced numerical techniques that adequately describe the hysteresis loop shapes and the collective nature of the magnetization fluctuations associated with the criticality of the hysteresis loop for different sample shapes and varied parameters of disorder and rate of change of the external field,as well as the influence of thermal fluctuations and demagnetizing fields.The studied examples demonstrate how these numerical approaches reveal newphysical insights,providing quantitativemeasures of pertinent variables extracted from the systems’simulated or experimentally measured Barkhausen noise signals.The described computational techniques using inherent scale-invariance can be applied to the analysis of various complex systems,both quantum and classical,exhibiting non-equilibrium dynamical critical point or self-organized criticality.

文摘In-situ stress is a key parameter for underground mine design and rock stability analysis.The borehole overcoring technique is widely used for in-situ stress measurement,but the rheological recovery deformation of rocks after stress relief introduces errors.To improve accuracy,this study proposes an in-situ stress solution theory that incorporates time-dependent stress relief effects.Triaxial stepwise loadingunloading rheological tests on granite and siltstone established quantitative relationships between instantaneous elastic recovery and viscoelastic recovery under different stress levels,confirming their impact on measurement accuracy.By integrating a dual-class elastic deformation recovery model,an improved in-situ stress solution theory was derived.Additionally,accounting for the nonlinear characteristics of rock masses,a determination method for time-dependent nonlinear mechanical parameters was proposed.Based on the CSIRO hollow inclusion strain cell,time-dependent strain correction equations and long-term confining pressure calibration equations were formulated.Finally,the proposed theory was successfully applied at one iron mine(736 m depth)in Xinjiang,China,and one coal mine(510 m depth)in Ningxia,China.Compared to classical theory,the calculated mean stress values showed accuracy improvements of 6.0%and 9.4%,respectively,validating the applicability and reliability of the proposed theory.
文摘Although the genetic algorithm (GA) has very powerful robustness and fitness, it needs a large size of population and a large number of iterations to reach the optimum result. Especially when GA is used in complex structural optimization problems, if the structural reanalysis technique is not adopted, the more the number of finite element analysis (FEA) is, the more the consuming time is. In the conventional structural optimization the number of FEA can be reduced by the structural reanalysis technique based on the approximation techniques and sensitivity analysis. With these techniques, this paper provides a new approximation model-segment approximation model, adopted for the GA application. This segment approximation model can decrease the number of FEA and increase the convergence rate of GA. So it can apparently decrease the computation time of GA. Two examples demonstrate the availability of the new segment approximation model.

文摘A numerical technique of the target-region locating （TRL） solver in conjunction with the wave-front method is presented for the application of the finite element method （FEM） for 3-D electromagnetic computation. First, the principle of TRL technique is described. Then, the availability of TRL solver for nonlinear application is particularly discussed demonstrating that this solver can be easily used while still remaining great efficiency. The implementation on how to apply this technique in FEM based on magnetic vector potential （MVP） is also introduced. Finally, a numerical example of 3-D magnetostatic modeling using the TRL solver and FEMLAB is given. It shows that a huge computer resource can be saved by employing the new solver.

文摘BACKGROUND Clinically,tracheoesophageal fistula(TEF)is lack of effective surgical strategies.One reason is due to the lack of appropriate animal models of acquired TEF,which is usually complex and difficult.Recently,the magnetic compression technique has been applied for digestive tract anastomosis or vascular anastomosis in animals.In this study,an animal model of TEF in dogs was developed by using the magnetic compression technique,hoping to provide a new method for mimicking TEF.AIM To establish a TEF model in dogs by using the magnetic compression technique.METHODS Six male beagles were used as models with two Nd-Fe-B permanent magnets for TEF.The parent magnet and the daughter magnet were placed in the cervical esophagus and trachea,respectively.The anterior wall of the esophagus and the posterior wall of the trachea were compressed when the two magnets coupled.After 4-6 d,the necrotic tissue between the two magnets fell off and the parent and daughter magnets disengaged from the target location,leaving a fistula.Gastroscopy/bronchoscopy,upper gastrointestinal contrast study,and histological analysis were performed.RESULTS The establishment of the TEF model in all six beagles was successful.The average time of magnet placement was 4.33±1.11 min(range,3-7 min).Mean time for the magnets to disengage from the target location was 4.67±0.75 d(range,4-6 d).TEFs were observed by gastroscopy/bronchoscopy and esophageal angiography.The gross anatomical structure of the esophagus and the trachea was in good condition.There was no esophageal mucosa or pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium at the site of the fistula according to histological analysis.CONCLUSION It is simple,feasible,and minimally invasive to use the magnetic compression technique for the establishment of the TEF model in dogs.

文摘AIM: To explore the anatomical feasibility of portacaval shunt using a magnetic compression technique(MCT) in cadavers.METHODS: Computed tomography(CT) images of 30 portal hypertensive patients were obtained.The diameters of the portal vein(PV),the inferior vena cava(IVC),and distance between the two structures were measured.Similar measurements were performed on 20 adult corpses.The feasibility of portacaval shunt based on those measurements was analyzed.First stage of the extrahepatic portacaval shunt using MCT was performed on five cadavers.Specifically,the PV and IVC were exposed through an abdominal incision of the cadavers.The parent magnet was introduced from the femoral vein and was delivered into the IVC by an anchor wire and a 5F Cook catheter.The daughter magnet was introduced into the PV through the splenic vein using aninterventional guide wire.When the daughter magnet met the parent magnet,they automatically clipped together and the first stage of the portacaval shunt was set up.RESULTS: The average diameters of the PV and the IVC measured from the 30 CT image were 14.39 ± 2.36 mm and 18.59 ± 4.97 mm,respectively,and the maximum and minimum distances between the PV and the IVC were 9.79 ± 4.56 mm and 9.50 ± 4.79 mm,respectively.From 20 cadavers,the average diameters of the PV and the IVC were 14.48 ± 1.47 mm and 24.71 ± 2.64 mm,and the maximum and minimum distances between the PV and the IVC were 10.14 ± 1.70 mm and 8.93 ± 1.17 mm,respectively.The distances between the PV and the IVC from both the CT images and the cadavers were within the effective length of portacaval anastomosis using MCT(30.30 ± 4.19 mm).The PV and IVC are in close proximity to each other with no intervening tissues or structures in between.Simulated surgeries of the first stage using MCT on five cadavers was successfully performed.CONCLUSION: Anatomically,extrahepatic portacaval shunt employing MCT is highly feasible in humans.
