Determining the approach speed envelope of carrier aircraft

Many factors, such as deck motion and air wave, influence the determination of the approach speed which has an important effect on landing safety. Until recently, there are no design criteria about approach speed of carrier aircraft in the current standards and available publications. Therefore, the requirements of stall margin, longitudinal acceleration ability, altitude correction and field-of-view on approach speed were researched. Based on the flight dynamics model, the flight simulations were conducted to study the effect of the response time of en- gine, wave off requirements, elevator efficiency and deflection rate on the approach speed. The results presented that the approach longitudinal acceleration and altitude correction ability had crucial influence on the approach speed envelope of the aircraft. The limitations of the control requirements, field-of-view requirements and gear were also given through the simulation and analysis. Based on the above results, the approach speed envelope were determined.     

Preparation of A-type zeolite membranes on nonporous metal supports by using electrophoretic technique

A-type zeolite membranes were prepared on the nonporous metal supports by using electrophoretic technique. The as-synthesized membranes were characterized by XRD and SEM. The effect of the applied potential on the formation of the A-type zeolite membrane was investigated,and the formation mechanism of zeolite membrane in the electric field was discussed. The results showed that the negative charged zeolite particles could migrate to the anode metal surface homogenously and rapidly under the action of the applied electric field, consequently formed uniform and dense membranes in short time. The applied potential bad great effect on the membrane formation, and more uniform and denser zeolite membranes were prepared on the nonporous metal supports with 1 V potential.     

Preparation of pH-responsive ceramic composite membranes by grafting acrylic acid onto α-alumina membranes

A pH-responsive ceramic composite membrane was prepared by chemical graft polymerization of acrylic acid （AA） onto the KH-570 modified （x-alumina membrane. The influence of monomer concentration on the gating characteristics of the pH-responsive membrane was investigated. The FT-IR spectrum, contact angle and water filtration rate of the membrane were measured. The monomer concentration was found to have a remarkable effect on the pH-response coefficient and the water filtration rate. In addition, the grafted membrane exhibited fast and reversible response to the pH change in the external solution.     

Effect of Aβ1-40 on membrane permeability and intracellular free Ca2+ of nerve cells

The effects of soluble and fibrillar Aβ1-40 on membrane permeability and intracellular free Ca^2 of nerve cells were investigated by the laser confocal microscopy. Results indicate that: i) Effects of soluble and fibrillar Aβ1-40 on cell membrane permeability are both concentration-dependent. Soluble Aβ1-40 increases membrane permeability only at concentration of 3μmol/L, while the toxic effect of fibrillar Aβ1-40 is much stronger, its evident effect begins from 1μmol/L. When its concentration rose to 3μmol/L, not only the membrane permeability increased, but also the nuclear membrane broke seriously, ii) Both soluble and fibrillar Aβ1-40 at high concentrations increased the intracellular free Ca^2 , and the increased amplitudes are concentration-dependent. However, the fibrillar one induces the increase of intracellular Ca^2 much quicker and synchronously.These results indicate that some correlation exists between the neurotoxicity of high concentration soluble and fibrillar Aβ1-40 and the change of physico-chemical properties and intracellular Ca ion imbalance.     

Analysis of tensioned membrane structures considering cable sliding

In routine design of tensioned membrane structures, the membrane is generally modeled using space membrane elements and the cables by space cable elements, with no sliding allowed between the membrane and the cables. On the other hand, large deflections are expected and sliding between the membrane and the cables is inevitable. In the present paper, the general finite element code ABAQUS was employed to investigate the influence of cable sliding on membrane surface on the structural behavior. Three analysis models were devised to fulfill this purpose: (1) The membrane element shares nodes with the cable element; (2) The cable can slide on the membrane surface freely (without friction) and (3) The cable can slide on the membrane surface, but with friction between the cable and the membrane. The sliding problem is modeled using a surface - based contact algorithm. The results from three analysis models are compared, showing that cable sliding has only little influence on the structure shape and on the stress distributions in the membrane. The main influence of cable sliding may be its effect on the dynamic behavior of tensioned membrane structures.

Effects of ultradry storage on fluidity of plasma membrane of seed

The effects of ultradry seed storage on the fluidity of plasma membrane have been investigated using the DPH fluorescent probe (1, 6-diphenyi-1, 3, 5,-hexatriene). The results demonstrated that the micro-viscosity of plasma membrane of ultradried seeds has no significant changes compared with the seeds which were stored under - 20℃ condition. However, there is a little adverse effect on the seeds with extreme dehydration. The results were consistent with higher vigor level of ultradried seed. It indicated that ultradry seed storage could maintain the physiological function of seed, protect the integrity of the membrane and improve the storability of seed. Furthermore, the results also revealed that sugar has the effect on protecting membrane structure and preserving the fluidity of the plasma membrane under seed dehydration. In the meantime, some mechanism about ultradry seed storage and the tolerance of dehydration of seed have been discussed.

Characterization of cellulose acetate micropore membrane immobilized acylase I

This paper describes an innovative method for the immobilization of acylase I, which was entrapped into the CA-CTA micropore membrane. The most suitable casting solutions proportion for immobilizing the enzyme was obtained through orthogonal experiment. Properties of the enzyme membrane were investigated and compared with those of free enzyme and blank membrane. The thermal stability and pH stability of the enzyme inside the membrane were changed by immobilization. The optimum pH was found to be 6.0, which changes 1.0 unit compared with that of free acylase I. The optimum temperature was found to be about 90℃, which is higher than that of free acylase I (60℃). Experimental results showed that immobilization had effects on the kinetic parameters of acylase I.

Influence of Bicycle Traffic on Capacity of Typical Signalized Intersection

Bicycle traffic has a significant effect on the capacity of signalized intersections. This paper divides the influence of bicyclists on vehicular flow into four types with the time durations estimated based on prob-ability, shock wave, and gap acceptance theory. Vehicular saturation flow rate is predicted for various condi-tions on the basis of the speed-flow curve for the capacity of typical intersections influenced by bicycle traffic. The model overcomes the limitations of the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM, 2000) method for left-turns due to data collection, and takes into account the effect of trapped bicycles on the through vehicular traffic. The numerical results show that the left-turn and through capacities predicted by the model are lower than those of the HCM method. The right-turn capacity is close to that of the HCM method at low bicycle volumes and higher than that of the HCM method at high bicycle volumes.     

Effect of HS2 and HS3 elements on erythroid-specific expression in transgenic mice

The expression plasmids CMV/GFP, HS2ALL, HS3ALL and HS23ALL were selected to investigate the effect of HS2 and HS3 element on erythroid-specific expression in transgenic mice. These plasmids were digested with restriction enzymes and purified. And five DNA fragments, CMV/GFP, HS2/GFP, CMV/HS2/GFP, HS23/GFP and HS3/GFP were obtained. After purification, the above DNA fragments were microinjected into the pre-nuclei of the mice fertilized eggs and transgenic mice were generated, with an integration rate of 10.89%. The green fluorescence protein(GFP) expression in many transgenic mouse tissues was determined by FACS analysis. The results showed that the HS2 and 1.7 kb of β-globin gene promoter were sufficient for the erythroid-specific expression of β-globin gene. The GFP expression of different recombinant constructs was also analyzed in blood of all the transgenic mice with FACS. The results indicated that HS2 and HS3 had the same enhancement activity on the regulation of β-globin gene expression. Moreover, these two elements showed a significant synergistic effect on gene expression at the transgenic mouse level, although the GFP expression varied largely among different transgenic mouse litters.     

大载荷对高强度EH47船体钢在3.5wt% NaCl溶液中磨损和腐蚀行为的影响

To simulate the wear and corrosion behavior of high-strength EH47 hull steel in a complicated marine environment in which seawater, sea ice, and sea sand coexist, accelerated wear and corrosion tests were performed in a laboratory setting using a tribometer. The effect of large loads on the behavior of abrasion and corrosion in a 3.5wt% NaCl solution with ice and sand to simulate a marine environment were investigated. The experimental results showed that the coefficient of friction (COF) decreases with increasing working load; meanwhile, the loading force and sand on the disk strongly influence the COF. The mechanisms of friction and the coupling effect of abrasion and corrosion in the 3.5wt% NaCl solution with sand were the wear and corrosion mechanisms; furthermore, the wear mechanism exerted the predominant effect.     

单轴加载下含孔洞节理岩石力学特性及能量演化机制研究

To investigate the impact of an opening and joints with different inclination angles on the mechanical response behavior, the energy evolution characteristics, and distribution law of granite specimens, uniaxial loading tests were performed on the parallel jointed rock samples with an opening. Results indicated an initial decreasing trend of the strength and deformation parameters, which later increases with increased inclination angle, reaching minimum values when the inclination angle is 45°. Evolution curves of the elastic strain energy and dissipated energy with strain of the samples showed step-like gradual mutation characteristics. The peak total energy, peak elastic strain energy, peak dissipated energy, and total input energy during the failure of the samples showed significant nonlinear characteristics with increasing inclination angle. The opening and joints as well as the change of the inclination angle had significant influences on the proportion of the elastic strain energy of the samples prior to the peak, resulting in the difference of the distribution law of input energy. Moreover, the energy mechanism of the sample failure was discussed. Results showed that the energy release was the internal cause of the sudden destruction of the entire rock mass.

Comparing the results of these two cores, erosion and dilution of seawater had different effects on the transportation of these compounds.     

The Influence of Surface Morphology of Dense Ca-P Ceramics on Apatite Formation in Dynamic SBF

This study aimed at exploring the effect of surface morphology of dense phosphate calcimn （Ca-P） ceramics upon the formation of bone-like apatite in static or dynamic simulated body fluid （SBF）. Dense and sandblasted calcium phosphate ceramics were immersed into dynamic SBF flowing at normal physiological speed of body fluid of skeletal muscle. The changes were characterized using SEM, XPS, IR and XRD. Changes can be observed after the sandblasted surface of dense calcium phosphate ceramics had been immersed in SBF for 14 days. XPS analysis results showed that the flake-like structure was composed of Ca, P, C, O; IR analysis result of surface structure of samples showed that there were specific peaks for CO3^2-; XRD results indicated the decrease in crystallinity and the increase in amorphous structure. The rough surface was advantageous for the formation of bone-like apatite. Increasing the Ca^2＋, HPO4^2- concentration of SBF could also enhance the bonelike apatite formation. All the results demonstrated that local concentration is a key factor affecting nucleation.
