The engineering performances of both trawls were investigated using physical modelling method and analytical method based on the predicted equations. In a flume tank, a series of physical model tests based on Tauti’s law were performed to investigate the hydrodynamic and geometrical performances of both trawls and to assess the applicability of the analytical methods based on predicted equations. The results showed that in model scale, the working towing speed and door spread for the pelagic trawl were 3.5 knots and 1.85 m, respectively, and for the bottom trawl net they were 4.0 knots and 1.8 m. At that speed and door spread, the drag force, net opening height, and wing-end spread of the pelagic model trawl were 36.73 N, 0.89 m, and 0.86 m, respectively, and the swept area was 0.76 m<sup>2</sup>. Bottom trawl speed and door spread were 30.43 N, 0.38 m, and 0.45 m, respectively, and the swept area was 0.25 m<sup>2</sup>. The maximum difference between the experimental and analytical results of hydrodynamic performances was less than 56.22% and 41.45%, respectively, for pelagic and bottom trawls, the results of the geometrical performances obtained using predicted equations were close to the experimental results in the flume tank with a maximum relative error less than 12.85%. The newly developed pelagic and bottom trawls had advanced engineering performance for high catch efficiency and selectivity and could be used in commercial fishing operations in Cameroonian waters.展开更多

It took the full advantage of the information from orthogonal experiments to obtain the optimal liposome preparation conditions by considering all the evaluation indexes. Liposomes were made by the modified reverse-phase evaporation method and the properties of liposomes including size, encapsulation efficiency and physical stability were selected as the evaluation indexes to indicate the quality of liposomes. The experimental data of these properties were analyzed by three different methods including direct observation, variance analysis and fuzzy analytical method. The optimal preparation conditions obtained from these methods were validated with further experiments. The results of all possible combinations of levels for all factors in orthogonal experiments were acquired by the fuzzy analytical method. All evaluation indexes were taken into account and the optimal preparation condition was obtained. The optimal preparation conditions from direct observation and fuzzy analytical method were different and further validation studies indicated that the optimal conditions obtained from the fuzzy analytical method were in agreement with that from traditional statistical analysis. Fuzzy analytical method avoided the problem resulted from the traditional method, in which different levels of the same factor were obtained when considering different evaluation indexes. More information could be obtained from the fuzzy analytical method and the blind area within the experimental range was eliminated. As a result, fuzzy analytical method can be applied in the optimization processes of liposome preparation.展开更多

An ephemeris and clock correction calculation method is introduced first. It shows that the most important thing of computing UDRE is to find the worst user location (WUL) in the service volume. Then, a UDRE algorithm using AM is described to solve this problem. By using the covariance matrix of the error vector, the searching of WUL is converted to an analytic geometry problem. The location of WUL can be obtained directly by mathematical derivation. Experiments are conducted to compare the performance between the proposed AM algorithm and the exhaustive grid search (EGS) method used in the master station. The results show that the correctness of the AM algorithm can be proved by the EGS method and the AM algorithm can reduce the calculation time by more than 90%. The computational complexity of this proposed algorithm is better than that of EGS. Thereby this algorithm is more suitable for computing UDRE at the master station.展开更多

文摘This study investigates the influence of the elastic modulus(E)of the composite strata on the trough width coefficient(i).It is hypothesized that,in composite strata,the relationship between the trough width coefficient(i)and the stratum thickness(H)follows a piecewise linear trend.Specifically,within strata of identical elastic modulus(E),i exhibits a linear correlation with H,while variations in E affect the slope of this correlation.Building upon the non-iterative analytical method(NIAM)for evaluating tunnel excavation responses in composite strata,this study proposes two novel approaches:the crucial point method(CPM)and the standard curve method(SCM).These methods incorporate the elastic modulus into the estimation of i.The values of i obtained via NIAM and refined through CPM and SCM are validated against field data using the parameter K.The results are consistent with existing research findings,thereby confirming the reliability of the proposed methodology.Furthermore,the study investigates the relationship between tunnel depth(h0)and tunnel radius(R),and explores the interactions among the layer number of stratum(n),elastic modulus(E),and layer thickness(H).A reduction coefficient(η)is introduced to improve the model's accuracy.The proposed approach is applied to nine tunnel engineering cases,and comparisons with measured data demonstrate its accuracy and practical applicability.

文摘This study examines the hemodynamics of non-Newtonian blood flow in stenosed arteries,focusing on the roles of stenosis severity,guidewire presence,and various non-Newtonian constitutive models.Computational simulations using the generalized power-law,Casson,and Carreau-Yasuda models are conducted for stenosis severities of 50%,70%,80%,and 90%.Results indicate that stenosis severity exerts the greatest influence on pressure and wall shear stress(WSS),with increasing severity leading to higher pressure drops and WSS maxima.Guidewire presence reduces recirculation zone lengths by nearly 60%across different severities and raises the trans-stenotic pressure drop up to 120%.While the choice of constitutive model has minimal impact on hemodynamics within the stenotic region,it becomes crucial in healthy vessels,where non-Newtonian effects are more pronounced.In cases with a guidewire,pressure gradients in the healthy region show up to 18.8%differences between non-Newtonian models.These findings highlight the dominant roles of stenosis severity and guidewire presence in shaping hemodynamics within stenotic regions while emphasizing the need for precise constitutive modeling to capture flow characteristics in healthy vascular segments.
文摘A new statistical method, the fuzzy analytical method, was introduced in the optimization processes of liposome preparation. It took the full advantage of the information from orthogonal experiments to obtain the optimal liposome preparation conditions by considering all the evaluation indexes. Liposomes were made by the modified reverse-phase evaporation method and the properties of liposomes including size, encapsulation efficiency and physical stability were selected as the evaluation indexes to indicate the quality of liposomes. The experimental data of these properties were analyzed by three different methods including direct observation, variance analysis and fuzzy analytical method. The optimal preparation conditions obtained from these methods were validated with further experiments. The results of all possible combinations of levels for all factors in orthogonal experiments were acquired by the fuzzy analytical method. All evaluation indexes were taken into account and the optimal preparation condition was obtained. The optimal preparation conditions from direct observation and fuzzy analytical method were different and further validation studies indicated that the optimal conditions obtained from the fuzzy analytical method were in agreement with that from traditional statistical analysis. Fuzzy analytical method avoided the problem resulted from the traditional method, in which different levels of the same factor were obtained when considering different evaluation indexes. More information could be obtained from the fuzzy analytical method and the blind area within the experimental range was eliminated. As a result, fuzzy analytical method can be applied in the optimization processes of liposome preparation.

文摘The excavation of foundation pit generates soil deformation around existing metro tunnel with shield driving method,which may lead to the deformation of tunnel lining.It is a challenge to evaluate the deformation of shield tunnel accurately and take measures to reduce the tunnel upward displacement as much as possible for geotechnical engineers.A new simplified analytical method is proposed to predict the longitudinal deformation of existing metro tunnel due to excavation unloading of adjacent foundation pit in this paper.Firstly,the additional stress of soils under vertical axisymmetric load in layered soil is obtained by using elastic multi-layer theory.Secondly,the metro tunnel is regarded as a Timoshenko beam supported by Winkler foundation so that the shear effect of tunnels can be taken into account.The additional stress acting on the tunnel due to excavation unloading in layered soil are compared with that in homogeneous soil.Additionally,the effectiveness of the analytical solution is verified via two actual cases.Moreover,parametric analysis is conducted to investigate the responses of the metro tunnel by considering such factors as the variation of subgrade coefficient,offset distance from the excavation center to tunnel longitudinal axis as well as equivalent shear stiffness.The proposed method can be used to provide theoretical basis for similar engineering project.
文摘To enhance the integrity, an analytic method (AM) which has less execution time is proposed to calculate the user differential range error (UDRE) used by the user to detect the potential risk. An ephemeris and clock correction calculation method is introduced first. It shows that the most important thing of computing UDRE is to find the worst user location (WUL) in the service volume. Then, a UDRE algorithm using AM is described to solve this problem. By using the covariance matrix of the error vector, the searching of WUL is converted to an analytic geometry problem. The location of WUL can be obtained directly by mathematical derivation. Experiments are conducted to compare the performance between the proposed AM algorithm and the exhaustive grid search (EGS) method used in the master station. The results show that the correctness of the AM algorithm can be proved by the EGS method and the AM algorithm can reduce the calculation time by more than 90%. The computational complexity of this proposed algorithm is better than that of EGS. Thereby this algorithm is more suitable for computing UDRE at the master station.
