Two-dimensional simulation of Poiseuille-Rayleigh-Bénard flows in binary fluids with Soret effect

Poiseuille-Rayleigh-Bénard flows in binary fluids with Soret effect are directly simulated by a mixed finite element method. A temperature perturbation is used as an initial disturbed source for the basic parallel flows. The whole spatio-temporal evolution of the binary fluid flows is exhibited: initially only the disturbed mode with the wavenumber k=π is amplified while others are damped, and continuously the amplified mode grows further and the nonlinear effect becomes important; after a nonlinear evolution transition the flow system evolves finally into a periodic right traveling wave.     

Protective effect of sodium butyrate on the cell culture model of Huntington disease

This study aimed to develop a cell culture model of Huntington disease and observe the effect of sodium butyrate on this cell culture model. Exon 1 of both a wild type and a mutant IT15 gene from the genomic DNA of a healthy adult and a patient with Huntington disease was amplified and cloned into the eukaryotic expression vector pEGFP-C1. Human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells were transiently transfected with these recombinant plasmids in the absence and presence of sodium butyrate (0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0 mmol/L). The MTT assay was used to measure cell viability. The results indicated that the N-terminal fragment of mutant huntingtin formed perinuclear and intranuclear aggregates and caused a decrease of SH-SY5Y cell viability. Sodium butyrate inhibited the decrease of SH-SY5Y cell viability caused by the N-terminal fragment of mutant huntingtin. This suggests that sodium butyrate has a protective effect on this cell culture model of Huntington disease.     

Effects of historical land cover changes on climate

In order to explore the influence of anthropogenic land use on the climate system during the last mil- lennium, a set of experiments is performed with an Earth system model of intermediate complexity—— the McGill Paleoclimate Model (MPM-2). The present paper mainly focuses on biogeophysical effects of historical land cover changes. A dynamic scenario of deforestation is described based on changes in cropland fraction (RF99). The model simulates a decrease in global mean annual temperature in the range of 0.09-0.16℃, especially 0.14-0.22℃ in Northern Hemisphere during the last 300 years. The responses of climate system to GHGs concentration changes are also calculated for comparisons. Now, afforestation is becoming an important choice for the enhancement of terrestrial carbon sequestration and adjustment of regional climate. The results indicate that biogeophysical effects of land cover changes cannot be neglected in the assessments of climate change.     

Coverability of Wireless Sensor Networks

The coverability of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is essentially a Quality of Service (QoS) problem that measures how well the monitored area is covered by one or more sensor nodes.The coverability of WSNs was examined by combining existing computational geometry techniques such as the Voronoi diagram and Delaunay triangulation with graph theoretical algorithmic techniques.Three new evaluation algorithms,known as CRM (Comprehensive Risk Minimization),TWS (Threshold Weight Shortest path),and CSM (Comprehen...

为自治而斗争:解读中世纪大学的命运

自治斗争从中世纪大学诞生开始就不可避免地贯穿在它整个发展过程中。可以说中世纪的历史就是教会与国家的冲突史,大学为获得自身独立发展的空间周旋于教会与国家相互间权力争夺的漩涡中。大学在这一过程中通过各种方式在不同时期取得过自治斗争的胜利,但最终也没能逃脱被强大政权干预的宿命。大学的活力源于自治斗争,中世纪大学自治斗争的过程能够给中国现代大学提供相关经验。
