Recurrence plot analysis of DNA sequences

Recurrence plot technique of DNA sequences is established on metric representation and employed to analyze correlation structure of nucleotide strings. It is found that, in the transference of nucleotide strings, a human DNA fragment has a major correlation distance, but a yeast chromosome's correlation distance has a constant increasing.

Numerical exploration of new features on three-dimensional transition of a cylinder wake

The three-dimensional transition of the wake flow behind a circular cylinder is studied in detail by direct numerical simulations using 3D incompressible N-S equations for Reynolds number ranging from 200 to 300. New features and vortex dynamics of the 3D transition of the wake are found and investigated. At Re = 200, the flow pattern is characterized by mode A instability. However, the spanwise characteristic length of the cylinder determines the transition features. Particularly for the specific spanwise characteristic length linear stable mode may dominate the wake in place of mode A and determine the spanwise phase difference of the primary vortices shedding. At Re = 250 and 300 it is found that the streamwise vortices evolve into a new type of mode - "dual vortex pair mode" downstream. The streamwise vortex structures switch among mode A, mode B and dual vortex pair mode from near wake to downstream wake. At Re = 250, an independent low frequency f(m) in addition to the vortex shedding frequency f(s) is identified. Frequency coupling between f(m) and f(s) occurs. These result in the irregularity of the temporal signals and become a key feature in the transition of the wake. Based on the formation analysis of the streamwise vorticity in the vicinity of cylinder, it is suggested that mode A is caused by the emergence of the spanwise velocity due to three dimensionality of the incoming flow past the cylinder. Energy distribution on various wave numbers and the frequency variation in the wake are also described.

A nanoindentation analysis of the effects of microstructure on elastic properties of Al2O3/SiC composites

Nanoindentation tests were carried out to investigate certain elastic properties of Al2O3/SiCp composites at microscopic scales (nm up to mu m) and under ultra-low loads from 3 mN to 250 mN, with special attention paid to effects caused by SiC particles and pores. The measured Young's modulus depends on the volume fraction of SiC particles and on the composite porosity and it can compare with that of alumina. The Young's modulus exhibits large scatters at small penetrations, but it tends to be constant with lesser dispersion as the indentation depth increases. Further analysis indicated that the scatter results from specific microstructural heterogeneities. The measured Young's moduli are in agreement with predictions, provided the actual role of the microstructure is taken into account. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

力学和它的发展

<正> 为什么十七世纪以前没有真正的“科学”? 公元前三世纪,希腊文化曾经有过高度的发展。阿基米德(287—212,B.C.)的静力学,欧几里得(300,B.C.)的几何学,都是杰出的科学先驱例子。但是最有影响的亚里士多德(384—322,B.C.)的动力学,却是一些荒谬的唯心臆测。可是由于亚里士多德在学术界的权威性,他的思想整整统治了西方经院学派达两千年之久,其中经过随着希腊文化的衰

关于弹塑性混合体的变分原理及其应用

<正> 关于彈性及塑性体力学的变分原理已有不少学者研究过(参看文献[1])。胡海昌在他的論文[1]中曾賦与了这些变分原理以相当廣泛的形式。但是研究彈塑性混合体的变分原理并把它们应用于具体問題的工作,就作者所知,还为数不多。由于在彈塑性混合体的力学問题中,彈塑性区域的分界事先是不知道的,因而用嚴格的方法求解这类問题遭遇到了巨大的数学困难。考虑到变分原理在彈性力学中应用时所获得的巨大成

航空技术的展望

<正> 一引言虽然人们对航空的兴趣是很古老的,它在神话和传说中已经出现了,但是真正的航空时代还只有五十多年,比起许多其它工程技术部门,航空是很年轻的。然而航空技术的发展是非常迅速的,在短短的五十多年内,我们已经看到多大的变化:早年的木架蒙布结构的双翼式飞机很快地就被钢架包干层板的结构所代替,速度也从60公里/时加高到250公里/时。但在1980年后,全金属铝合金的单翼飞机出现了,航空技术又有了很大的进步,民用航空随着发展,航线上的速度达到800公里/时以上。军用飞机的速

A new kind of failure induced by long pulsed laser, named as reverse plugging effect (RPE), was experimentally observed in thin foil of brass. The whole failure process can be divided into three stages, namely thermal reverse bulging, shear deformation localization and reverse perforation. In this paper, a description of experimental and theoretical study on this newly discovered phenomenon is presented in detail.

电解沉积纳米镍退火析出相的EBSD分析

电解沉积方法制备的纳米晶镍经650℃退火处理后,晶粒发生了长大,在晶内沿特定晶面析出了第二相颗粒,样品的拉伸断口为沿晶断口。利用EDS和EBSD对这种第二相析出物进行的成份分析和结构/取向分析表明:这种第二相颗粒是NiS2颗粒,其晶格取向与基体镍保持一致。NiS2颗粒沿基体镍的(001)面析出导致了晶界生长为台阶状并使晶界弱化。

Determination Of Interfacial Properties Between Metal Film And Ceramic Substrate With An Adhesive Layer

Peel test measurements and inverse analysis to determine the interfacial mechanical parameters for the metal film/ceramic system are performed, considering that there exist an epoxy interface layer between film and ceramic. In the present investigation, Al films with a series of thicknesses between 20 and 250 mu m and three peel angles of 90, 135 and 180 degrees are considered. A finite element model with the cohesive zone elements is used to simulate the peel test process. The finite element results are taken as the training data of a neural network in the inverse analysis. The interfacial cohesive energy and the separation strength can be determined based on the inverse analysis and peel experimental result. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
