The water bodies represented different trophic levels： one oligotrophic, three mesotrophic, and one eutrophic. Based on the Reynolds’ functional groups, they had 10 groups in common—B, P, D, X1, M, MP, F, S1, J, and G, but the algae biomasses and proportions were different. In the oligotrophic reservoir, functional group B reached a peak biomass of 576 × 104 L-1, which accounted for 31.27%. In the eutrophic lake,functional group D reached a peak biomass of 3227 × 104 L-1, which accounted for only13.38%. When samples collected from other water bodies with similar trophic levels were compared, we found differences in the algae species functional groups. The potential reasons for the differences in algae functional group characteristics in the different water bodies in the region were water temperature and nutritional states.展开更多

By using the Bernoulli-Euler beam to describe the slender blade which is mounted on rigid hub and subjected to unsteady aero- dynamic force, the governing equation and characteristic equation of the coupled vibration of the blade are obtained. Due to the combined influences of mode coupling, centrifugal effect, and the non-uniform distribution of mass and stiffness, the explicit solution of characteristic equation is impossible to obtain. An equivalent transformation based on Green＇s functions is taken for the characteristic equation, and then a system of integrodifferential equations is derived. The nu- merical difference methods are adopted to solve the integrodifferential equations to get natural frequencies and mode shapes. The influences of mode coupling, centrifugal effect, and rotational speed on natural frequencies and mode shapes are analyzed. Results show that： （1） the influence of bending-torsion coupling on natural frequency is tiny; （2） rotation has dramatic influence on bending frequency but little influence on torsion frequency; （3） the influence of bending-bending coupling on dynamic characteristics is notable at high rotational speed; （4） the effect of rotational speed on bending mode is tiny.展开更多

With this method, functional characteristics were classified based on machining functions of cutting-tools and machining accuracy of machines. Then the optimization objective was set as the to- tal shortest mobile distance that all the workpieces are moved from one machine to another, and an improved genetic algorithm （GA） was proposed to optimize the configuration. The elitist strategy was used to enhance the global optimization ability of GA, and excellent gene pool was designed to maintain the diversity of population. Software Matlab was used to realize the algorithm, and a case study of simulation was used to evaluate the method.展开更多

The bridge is built between quick trickle permutations and m-value logic functions. By the methods of the Chrestenson spectrum of m-value logic functions and the auto-correlation function of m-value logic functions to investigate the Chrestenson spectral characteristics and the auto-correlation function charac- teristics of inverse permutations of quick trickle permutations, a determinant arithmetic of quick trickle permutations is given. Using the results, it becomes easy to judge that a permutation is a quick trickle permutation or not by using computer. This gives a new pathway to study constructions and enumerations of quick trickle permutations.展开更多

The influences of source field period, the conductivity, the buried depth and the length of the conductor on the transfer functions were studied. The extrema of transfer functions appear at the center, the four corners and around the edges of conductor, and move with the edges. This feature demonstrates that around the edges are best places for transfer functions' observation.展开更多

Two samples have been produced with a commercially pure aluminium matrix reinforced by 10%(in weight) SiC and Al_(2)O_(3)with a 16 μm average size via horizontal centrifugal casting. In addition to microstructure analysis,the mechanical and wear characteristics have been investigated across the thickness of the produced tubes.The results showed that the addition of SiC and Al_(2)O_(3)particles relative to the unreinforced matrix(pure Al)significantly enhance the mechanical properties and wear resistance of the produced tubes. Thus,these tubes are the best choice for automobile applications.展开更多

An equivalent transformation based on Green＇s functions is taken for the characteristic equation, and then a system of integrodifferential equations is derived. The nu- merical difference methods are adopted to solve the integrodifferential equations to get natural frequencies and mode shapes. The influences of mode coupling, centrifugal effect, and rotational speed on natural frequencies and mode shapes are analyzed. Results show that： （1） the influence of bending-torsion coupling on natural frequency is tiny; （2） rotation has dramatic influence on bending frequency but little influence on torsion frequency; （3） the influence of bending-bending coupling on dynamic characteristics is notable at high rotational speed; （4） the effect of rotational speed on bending mode is tiny.

文摘The natural dynamic characteristics of a circular cylindrical tube made of three-directional(3 D)functional graded material(FGM)based on the Timoshenko beam theory are investigated.Hamilton’s principle is utilized to derive the novel motion equations of the tube,considering the interactions among the longitudinal,transverse,and rotation deformations.By dint of the differential quadrature method(DQM),the governing equations are discretized to conduct the analysis of natural dynamic characteristics.The Ritz method,in conjunction with the finite element method(FEM),is introduced to verify the present results.It is found that the asymmetric modes in the tube are controlled by the 3 D FGM,which exhibit more complicated shapes compared with the unidirectional(1 D)and bi-directional(2 D)FGM cases.Numerical examples illustrate the effects of the axial,radial,and circumferential FGM indexes as well as the supported edges on the natural dynamic characteristics in detail.It is notable that the obtained results are beneficial for accurate design of smart structures composed from multi-directional FGM.

基金Pathogen Distribution,Imaging Features,and Clinical Manifestations of Pulmonary Infections in Patients with Impaired Immune Function(Project No.:2023-1-NS-017)。
文摘Objective:To explore the imaging characteristics changes of pulmonary infections in patients with hypo-immunity and analyze the correlation between NLR,PCT levels and their severity.Methods:This study included 80 patients with hypo-immunity and pulmonary infections who were diagnosed and treated at our hospital from October 2022 to October 2024.Imaging examinations were performed on the patients.Subsequently,the patients were divided into a severe group and a mild group based on the severity of their disease.Univariate analysis was conducted,and variables with statistical significance from the univariate analysis were included in a multivariate logistic regression analysis to clarify the correlation between plasma NLR,PCT levels,and their severity.Results:Imaging examinations revealed that ground-glass opacities in the lungs were centered around the hilum,with patchy or map-like distributions accompanied by reticular shadows.The affected areas and normal lung areas were interspersed,with a tendency to merge.Some patients also developed pneumothorax.Ground-glass opacities were the most characteristic manifestation,which could also present as reticular shadows,interstitial thickening,miliary shadows,multiple small nodules,intrathoracic lymphadenopathy,and a small amount of pleural effusion.In the correlation analysis,NLR and PCT were statistically significant in the univariate analysis(p<0.05).When included in the multivariate logistic regression analysis,NLR(OR=2.846,95%CI:2.402-3.358)and PCT(OR=1.958,95%CI:1.554-2.601)were found to be positively correlated with the severity of pulmonary infections in patients with hypo-immunity.Conclusion:The imaging manifestations of patients with impaired immune function are complex and diverse,primarily including patchy,linear,massive,cavitary,and diffuse lesions,among other forms.These manifestations not only assist physicians in identifying the presence of pulmonary infections but also provide crucial information for diagnosing the type,severity,and complications of the infections.The levels of NLR(Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio)and PCT(Procalcitonin)exhibit a positive correlation with the severity of pulmonary infections in patients with impaired immune function,warranting significant attention.

文摘In order to measure the correlation propeties of two Boolean functions,the global avalanche characteristics of Boolean functions constructed by concatenation are discussed,i.e.,f_1‖f_2and f_1‖f_2‖f_3‖f_4.Firstly,for the function f = f_1‖f_2,the cross-correlation function of f_1,f_2 in the special condition are studied.In this case,f,f_1,f_2 must be in desired form.By computing their sum-of-squares indicators,the crosscorrelation function between f_1,f_2 is obtained.Secondly,for the function g = f_1‖f_2‖f_3‖f_4,by analyzing the relation among their auto-correlation functions,their sum-of-squares indicators are investigated.Based on them,the sum-of-squares indicators of functions obtained by Canteaut et al.are investigated.The results show that the correlation property of g is good when the correlation properties of Boolean functions f_1,f_2,f_3,f_4 are good.

文摘In order to make reconfigurable manufacturing system （RMS） adapt to the fluctuations of production demand with the minimum number of reconflgurations in its full life cycle, we presented a method to design RMS based on the balanced distribution of functional characteristics for ma- chines. With this method, functional characteristics were classified based on machining functions of cutting-tools and machining accuracy of machines. Then the optimization objective was set as the to- tal shortest mobile distance that all the workpieces are moved from one machine to another, and an improved genetic algorithm （GA） was proposed to optimize the configuration. The elitist strategy was used to enhance the global optimization ability of GA, and excellent gene pool was designed to maintain the diversity of population. Software Matlab was used to realize the algorithm, and a case study of simulation was used to evaluate the method.

文摘In this paper, a sufficient and necessary condition of quick trickle permutations is given from the point of inverse permutations. The bridge is built between quick trickle permutations and m-value logic functions. By the methods of the Chrestenson spectrum of m-value logic functions and the auto-correlation function of m-value logic functions to investigate the Chrestenson spectral characteristics and the auto-correlation function charac- teristics of inverse permutations of quick trickle permutations, a determinant arithmetic of quick trickle permutations is given. Using the results, it becomes easy to judge that a permutation is a quick trickle permutation or not by using computer. This gives a new pathway to study constructions and enumerations of quick trickle permutations.
文摘Applying 3-dimension finite difference method, the distribution characteristics of horizontal field transfer functions for rectangular conductor have been computed, and the law of distribution for Re-part and Im-part has been given. The influences of source field period, the conductivity, the buried depth and the length of the conductor on the transfer functions were studied. The extrema of transfer functions appear at the center, the four corners and around the edges of conductor, and move with the edges. This feature demonstrates that around the edges are best places for transfer functions' observation.
文摘In the current study,an effort has been taken to manufacture and compare the characteristics of functionally graded tubes. Two samples have been produced with a commercially pure aluminium matrix reinforced by 10%(in weight) SiC and Al_(2)O_(3)with a 16 μm average size via horizontal centrifugal casting. In addition to microstructure analysis,the mechanical and wear characteristics have been investigated across the thickness of the produced tubes.The results showed that the addition of SiC and Al_(2)O_(3)particles relative to the unreinforced matrix(pure Al)significantly enhance the mechanical properties and wear resistance of the produced tubes. Thus,these tubes are the best choice for automobile applications.
