声学多孔材料的孔结构优化

介绍了一种基于微结构的声学模型,可用来对多孔材料的微组织结构进行优化,从而使多孔材料具备最佳的声学性能.该模型是一种适用于低雷诺数的非稳态线性声学模型,主要微结构考虑平行排列的柱形杆件或圆球列阵,包括3个子模型:①声波传播方向平行于圆柱形杆件的子模型;②声波传播方向垂直于圆柱形杆件的子模型;③声波在圆球列阵中传播和吸收的子模型.前2个子模型通过考虑多边形周期边界条件的影响,计及了相邻圆柱形杆件间的交互作用.由于模型是线性的,因此可以结合起来描述任意角度入射声波的传播特性.第3个子模型可用于描述胞状多孔材料中节点处的情形.文中利用这3个子模型来扩大吸声材料的设计空间,根据不同用途所要求的声学特性计算最优的胞元结构,并对这种模型的应用领域进行了分析讨论.     

Breeding biology of Mountain Plovers ( Charadrius montanus ) in the Uinta Basin

The known Mountain Plover population breeding on the Myton Bench, Duchesne County, Utah, is small, composed roughly of 30 adults and young after each breeding season. Currently, its location is peripheral to the species main range. This shrub-steppe breeding habitat differs from the shortgrass prairie habitat with which this bird is historically associated. Between 1996 and 1998 we made observations at nesting sites located consistently in 2 concentrated areas surrounded by large tracts of similar habitat. Activity may be focused in these specific areas because of breeding-site fidelity; this behavior is common among most shorebirds and has been documented for the Mountain Plover in Colorado. Also, Mountain Plovers are social and tend to choose nest sites near others. Most nests in Utah were located within close proximity of mounds of white-tailed prairie dogs ( Cynomys leucurus ), and all were situated near roadways or oil well pads. Mountain Plovers were often observed with broods on these bare areas at night. We conclude that Mountain Plovers on the Myton Bench are distributed in clumped breeding colonies within large areas of apparently favorable habitat.

The effects of secretin on urinary volume and electrolytes in normal subjects and patients with chronic pancreatic disease

Zusammenfassung Injektion von Sekretin ruft bei normalen Versuchspersonen Diuresis und Vermehrung der Natrium- und Alkali-Ausscheidung hervor. Diese Wirkungen sind vermindert bei Patienten mit chronischer Pankreaserkrankung. Der mögliche Mechanismus und die praktische Bedeutung dieser Beobachtungen werden diskutiert.

The differences in the accumulation and metabolism of catechol amines in heart and liver

Zusammenfassung Noradrenalin und Adrenalin werden von Katzen nach simultaner intravenöser Darreichung zum Teil unverändert in der Leber und anderen Organen gespeichert, jedoch nicht im Herzen. Nach Vorbehandlung der Tiere mit Iproniazid wird im Herzen ebenfalls eine Anhäufung der beiden Hormone gefunden.Es wird auch eine relativ grössere Inaktivierung des Adrenalins im Vergleich zu Noradrenalin festgestellt.
