A non-contact electromagnetic exciter is designed for identifying the dynamic coefficients of journal bearings in high-speed grinding spindles. A linear force control method is developed based on PID controller. The influence of amplitude and frequency of current, misalignment and rotational speed on magnetic field and excitation force is investigated based on two-dimensional finite element analysis. The electromagnetic excitation force is measured with the auxiliary coils and calibrated by load cells. The design is validated by the experimental results. Theoretical and experimental investigations show that the proposed design can accurately generate linear excitation force with sufficiently large amplitude and higher signal to noise ratio. Moreover, the fluctuations in force amplitude are reduced to a greater extent with the designed linear control method even when the air gap changes due to the rotor vibration at high-speed conditions. Besides, it is possible to apply various types of excitations： constant, synchronous, and non-synchronous excitation forces based on the proposed linear control method. This exciter can be used as linear-force exciting and controlling system for dynamic performance study of different high-speed rotor-bearing systems.展开更多

The microwave signal at frequency of 2450 MHz is generated by a microwave exciter. According to the experiment＇s demands, the microwave exciter must provide output power of 1.5～ 2. 5 W with stabilized frequency and amplitude tobe used as the klystron input. Being amplified by the klystron, the microwave signal is transmitted through the transmitting system to the antenna and is emitted into the HL-2A tokamak.

Given the ...Epilepsy is a leading cause of disability and mortality worldwide. However, despite the availability of more than 20 antiseizure medications, more than one-third of patients continue to experience seizures. Given the urgent need to explore new treatment strategies for epilepsy, recent research has highlighted the potential of targeting gliosis, metabolic disturbances, and neural circuit abnormalities as therapeutic strategies. Astrocytes, the largest group of nonneuronal cells in the central nervous system, play several crucial roles in maintaining ionic and energy metabolic homeostasis in neurons, regulating neurotransmitter levels, and modulating synaptic plasticity. This article briefly reviews the critical role of astrocytes in maintaining balance within the central nervous system. Building on previous research, we discuss how astrocyte dysfunction contributes to the onset and progression of epilepsy through four key aspects: the imbalance between excitatory and inhibitory neuronal signaling, dysregulation of metabolic homeostasis in the neuronal microenvironment, neuroinflammation, and the formation of abnormal neural circuits. We summarize relevant basic research conducted over the past 5 years that has focused on modulating astrocytes as a therapeutic approach for epilepsy. We categorize the therapeutic targets proposed by these studies into four areas: restoration of the excitation–inhibition balance, reestablishment of metabolic homeostasis, modulation of immune and inflammatory responses, and reconstruction of abnormal neural circuits. These targets correspond to the pathophysiological mechanisms by which astrocytes contribute to epilepsy. Additionally, we need to consider the potential challenges and limitations of translating these identified therapeutic targets into clinical treatments. These limitations arise from interspecies differences between humans and animal models, as well as the complex comorbidities associated with epilepsy in humans. We also highlight valuable future research directions worth exploring in the treatment of epilepsy and the regulation of astrocytes, such as gene therapy and imaging strategies. The findings presented in this review may help open new therapeutic avenues for patients with drugresistant epilepsy and for those suffering from other central nervous system disorders associated with astrocytic dysfunction.展开更多

文摘Due to the dynamical character of electromagnetic exciter and the coupling between structure and exciter(s),the actual output force acting on the structure is usually not equal to the exact value that is supposed to be,especially when multi-exciters are used as actuators to precisely actuate large flexible structure.It is necessary to consider these effects to ensure the force generated by each exciter is the same as required.In this paper,a robust control method is proposed for the multi-input and multi-output(MIMO)structural vibration control system to trace the target actuating force of each exciter.A special signal is designed and put into the coupled mul-ti-exciter-structure system,and the input and output signals of the system are used to build a dynamic model involving both the dynamical characters of the exciters and the structure using the subspace identification method.Considering the uncertainty factors of the multi-exciter/structure system,an H-infinity robust controller is designed to decouple the coupling between structure and exciters based on the identified system model.A MIMO vibration control system combined with a flexible plate and three electromagnetic exciters is adopted to demonstrate the proposed method,both numerical simulation and model experiments showing that the output force of each exciter can trace its target force accurately within the requested frequency band.

文摘This study explores the nonlinear resonance of a rotating solar sail membrane exposed to time-varying solar thermal and solar radiation pressure.The sail membrane is modeled using a cantilever membrane,applying the von Kármán theory for membrane large deflection.The membrane’s nonlinear equation is derived by employing the Lagrange equation while accounting for excitations from solar thermal and radiation pressure.The equation is solved via the Rayleigh-Ritz method.The bifurcation diagram of membrane motion is applied to reveal membrane resonance responses under different solar sail rotating frequencies.The displacement time history,phase portrait,Poincarémap,frequency spectrum,and the largest Lyapunov exponent are used to study nonlinear vibrations that occur near resonance regions.The results indicate that time-varying thermal loading excites membrane motions with multiple natural frequencies by the parametric resonance mechanics,leading to the onset of membrane chaotic motion.The membrane’s primary resonance is stimulated in harmonic oscillation by the time-varying radiation pressure.The divergence instability caused by thermal excitation is also illustrated by comparing the membrane’s vibration amplitude with and without thermal excitation.The membrane’s nonlinear vibration characteristics vary significantly with solar illumination angles,the membrane’s thermal expansion coefficients,and structural damping.

文摘Epilepsy is a leading cause of disability and mortality worldwide. However, despite the availability of more than 20 antiseizure medications, more than one-third of patients continue to experience seizures. Given the urgent need to explore new treatment strategies for epilepsy, recent research has highlighted the potential of targeting gliosis, metabolic disturbances, and neural circuit abnormalities as therapeutic strategies. Astrocytes, the largest group of nonneuronal cells in the central nervous system, play several crucial roles in maintaining ionic and energy metabolic homeostasis in neurons, regulating neurotransmitter levels, and modulating synaptic plasticity. This article briefly reviews the critical role of astrocytes in maintaining balance within the central nervous system. Building on previous research, we discuss how astrocyte dysfunction contributes to the onset and progression of epilepsy through four key aspects: the imbalance between excitatory and inhibitory neuronal signaling, dysregulation of metabolic homeostasis in the neuronal microenvironment, neuroinflammation, and the formation of abnormal neural circuits. We summarize relevant basic research conducted over the past 5 years that has focused on modulating astrocytes as a therapeutic approach for epilepsy. We categorize the therapeutic targets proposed by these studies into four areas: restoration of the excitation–inhibition balance, reestablishment of metabolic homeostasis, modulation of immune and inflammatory responses, and reconstruction of abnormal neural circuits. These targets correspond to the pathophysiological mechanisms by which astrocytes contribute to epilepsy. Additionally, we need to consider the potential challenges and limitations of translating these identified therapeutic targets into clinical treatments. These limitations arise from interspecies differences between humans and animal models, as well as the complex comorbidities associated with epilepsy in humans. We also highlight valuable future research directions worth exploring in the treatment of epilepsy and the regulation of astrocytes, such as gene therapy and imaging strategies. The findings presented in this review may help open new therapeutic avenues for patients with drugresistant epilepsy and for those suffering from other central nervous system disorders associated with astrocytic dysfunction.
文摘Modern/distributed electric energy systems,with ever larger penetration of renewable(photovoltaic,wind,wave,and hydro)energy sources and time-variable outputs,are in need of stronger/higher frequency and alternating current(AC)(direct current(DC))voltage control.In fact,faster and more stable active and reactive power in the presence of frequency and voltage sags and swells is needed.Power electronics-controlled variable speed generators do not have enough energy storage(inertia)for the scope(static synchronous compensators(STATCOMs)included).This is because power electronics tends to decouple the generator from the power system.While virtual inertia control in doubly fed induction generators(DFIGs)offers a partial solution to these problems,a more robust and comprehensive framework is required for advanced grid support.This is how,by extending the dual-excitation principles,the dualaxis excited electric synchronous generators(DE-SG)provide superior flexibility in two variants summarized here:as a multifunctional DFIG and dual-axis vs.single-axis excited synchronous generator(SG),and as a synchronous condenser(SC),with dual DC and AC excitation(as a no-load DFIG with inertia wheel),where variable speed is used to accelerate/decelerate the SC and thus provide additional assistance in frequency stabilization.These solutions,good for short-time transients,are not meant,however,to replace the large bidirectional energy storage systems(pump-hydro,hydrogen,batteries,etc.)which are crucial for the daily inherent variations of output energy in modern power systems with multiple power sources.The present paper offers a summary of techniques used in the dual-axis excited vs.single-axis excited SGs(SE-SGs),and SCs topologies,modeling,and control for better stability in modern multiple-source energy systems.This survey includes multiple case studies to shed light on prominent methods.

文摘The precise excitation of molecular vibrational states is critical for ad-vancing chemical dynamics,preci-sion spectroscopy,and trace gas sensing.This objective,however,is often hindered by the weak oscilla-tor strengths of ro-vibrational tran-sitions,which render conventional continuous-wave(cw)lasers ineffec-tive due to their limited power.This fundamental challenge is overcome by cavity-enhanced excitation(CEE),a technique that locks a cw laser to a high-finesse optical cavity.This configuration amplifies the intra-cavity light intensity by several orders of magnitude while preserving a narrow spectral linewidth.The resulting synergy enables highly efficient,state-selective population transfer and high-resolution spectroscopy previously considered impractical.This review elucidates the core technique of laser-cavity locking and highlights its applications,notably in the quantitative detection of trace isotopes and the investigation of highly excited vibrational states with kilo-hertz-level accuracy.

文摘Ultrasound neuromodulation shows promise for treating neurological disorders,but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.Here,we developed an integrated surface acoustic wave(SAW)ultrasound chip enabling simultaneous electrophysiological recording and Ca^(2+) imaging of cultured hippocampal neurons to investigate neuronal excitability and synaptic transmission during ultrasound stimulation.This study revealed,for the first time,three distinct neuronal response patterns induced by SAW ultrasound:an immediate response showing rapid activation,a delayed response exhibiting facilitation after several minutes,and a non-response maintaining baseline activity.Ultrasound stimulation increased action potential firing,enhanced excitatory postsynaptic currents,and elevated intracellular Ca^(2+) levels.These effects were dependent on extracellular Ca^(2+) influx and primarily dominated by L-type Ca^(2+) channels.Our findings suggest that individual neurons exhibit heterogeneous responses to SAW ultrasound stimulation based on their intracellular Ca^(2+) levels and L-type Ca^(2+) channel activity.This integrated approach provides new insights into the cellular mechanisms of ultrasound neuromodulation while highlighting the potential of SAW technology for precise,cell-type-specific neural control.
文摘Transcranial direct current stimulation(tDCS)is a non-invasive technique that modifies cortical excitability and induces neuroplasticity using low-intensity electrical currents.Nuclear medicine technologies like positron emission tomography(PET)and single-photon emission computed tomography(SPECT)can quantify cerebral metabolism and other dynamics.Evidence suggests that combining tDCS with these imaging methods enhances understanding and outcomes for neurological and psychiatric conditions.This review highlights how nuclear medicine can objectively characterize tDCS eff ects,map network modulation,and identify predictive biomarkers.PET and SPECT indicate changes in glucose metabolism and neurotransmitter activity post-tDCS,demonstrating their value in validation.While the co-application of these methodologies is still in conceptual stages,their integration may advance precision neuromodulation and inform rehabilitation strategies.

文摘In order to realize the comprehensive utilization of industrial solid waste rice husk ash and heavy metal cadmium contaminated soil,rice husk ash-based geopolymer prepared by alkaline activator was used to modify cadmium contaminated soil.The main physical and chemical properties of rice husk ash were clarified by SEM,XRF and X-ray diffraction.The unconfined compressive strength test and toxicity leaching test were carried out on the modified soil.Combined with FTIR and TG micro-level,the solidification mechanism of rice husk ash-based geopolymer solidified cadmium contaminated soil was discussed.The results show that the strength of geopolymer modified soil is significantly higher than that of plain soil,and the unconfined compressive strength at 7 d age is 4.2 times that of plain soil.The strength of modified soil with different dosage of geopolymer at 28 d age is about 36% to 40% higher than that of modified soil at 7 d age.Geopolymer has a significant effect on the leaching of heavy metals in contaminated soil.When the cadmium content is 100 mg/kg,it meets the standard limit.In the process of complex depolymerization-condensation reaction,on the one hand,geopolymers are cemented and agglomerated to form a complex spatial structure,which affects the macro and micro characteristics of soil.On the other hand,it has significant adsorption,precipitation and replacement effects on heavy metal ions in soil,showing good strength and low heavy metal leaching toxicity.
文摘Stator vanes especially vane suction sides of transonic turbines are subjected to high frequency excitation forces under many circumstances,and thus are exposed to the risk of high cycle fatigue.Therefore,it is necessary to reveal the flow mechanism of this kind of excitations for potential prevention measures.In this paper,the traveling shock phenomenon in the transonic turbine stator/rotor gap is observed and the concept of‘Inter-Row Traveling Shock(IRTS)'is proposed through the unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS)simulation of a typical highlyloaded transonic turbine stage.The characteristics of an IRTS were described and summarized in aspects of unsteady shock wave system,aerodynamic characteristics and motion.The probable forming mechanism of an IRTS was explained through a theoretical model and it was validated through correct prediction of the flow state parameter change across the IRTS.Since IRTSs would strike onto vane suction sides,the pressure oscillation dynamic modes on vane suction side corresponding to the characteristic frequencies associated with IRTS were extracted through Dynamic Mode Decomposition(DMD),from which the way and extent of the IRTS influences on vane aerodynamic excitation were revealed and evaluated.Over 82%pressure oscillation energy on vane suction side could be brought by the IRTS sweeping along with blade rotation.
文摘The concept of the brain cognitive reserve is derived from the well-acknowledged notion that the degree of brain damage does not always match the severity of clinical symptoms and neurological/cognitive outcomes.It has been suggested that the size of the brain(brain reserve) and the extent of neural connections acquired through life(neural reserve) set a threshold beyond which noticeable impairments occur.In contrast,cognitive reserve refers to the brain's ability to adapt and reo rganize stru cturally and functionally to resist damage and maintain function,including neural reserve and brain maintenance,resilience,and compensation(Verkhratsky and Zorec,2024).

文摘In this paper,electrically excited synchronous machines(EESMs)using copper(Cu)and aluminum(Al)windings are compared for the feasibility of replacing Cu windings with Al windings in electric vehicle(EV)applications since Al windings have lower mass density and cost per weight,but higher resistivity and lower thermal conductivity than Cu windings.The EESMs with four winding configurations are optimized with an electromagnetic-thermal co-optimization method.The optimized EESM with only Cu windings is considered as the baseline in this study.Results show that the EESM with stator-Cu/rotor-Al windings has the least torque reduction(12.1%)compared to the baseline among the three EESMs with Al windings and the highest torque mass density among all EESMs.Meanwhile,although the new European driving cycle efficiency of the stator-Cu/rotor-Al EESM is 1.8%lower than that of the baseline,the torque per cost is 71%higher,and the maximum rotor mechanical stress is 8%lower.Therefore,the EESMs with stator-Cu/rotor-Al windings are prospective substitutions of those with only Cu windings for EV applications considering the trade-off between performance and cost.

文摘The overgeneralization of fear is associated with psychiatric disorders and cognitive decline.Recent studies have shown that engram cells in the dorsal dentate gyrus are integrated into functionally heterogeneous ensembles that are involved in contextual fear memory generalization and discrimination.However,the intracellular signals that promote fear generalization remain to be fully elucidated.In this study,we labeled and manipulated the c-Fos+and Npas4+ensembles in the dorsal dentate gyrus that are activated by contextual fear conditioning using a robust activity marking system.The results showed that increasing the excitability of Fos-dependent robust activity marking by overexpressing NaChBac or decreasing the excitability of Npas4-dependent robust activity marking by overexpressing Kir2.1 promoted fear memory generalization.Furthermore,CRISPR-mediated downregulation of the autophagy-related Atg5 or Atg7 genes in dorsal dentate gyrus neurons inhibited activation of c-Fos,but not Npas4.Knockdown of Atg5 or Atg7 in the Fos-dependent robust activity marking or Npas4-dependent robust activity marking ensemble led to an increase in neuronal excitability and a decrease in spine density in both ensembles.However,Atg7 knockdown in the Fos-dependent robust activity marking ensemble promoted memory generalization,while knockdown of Atg5 or Atg7 in the Npas4-dependent robust activity marking ensemble increased anxiety levels.These results contribute to our understanding of how the varying plasticity of memory engrams is involved in regulating fear memory generalization and anxiety.
