Trans-Scale Mechanics: Looking For The Missing Links Between Continuum And Micro/Nanoscopic Reality

Problems involving coupled multiple space and time scales offer a real challenge for conventional frameworks of either particle or continuum mechanics. In this paper, four cases studies (shear band formation in bulk metallic glasses, spallation resulting from stress wave, interaction between a probe tip and sample, the simulation of nanoindentation with molecular statistical thermodynamics) are provided to illustrate the three levels of trans-scale problems (problems due to various physical mechanisms at macro-level, problems due to micro-structural evolution at macro/micro-level, problems due to the coupling of atoms/molecules and a finite size body at micro/nano-level) and their formulations. Accordingly, non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, coupled trans-scale equations and simultaneous solutions, and trans-scale algorithms based on atomic/molecular interaction are suggested as the three possible modes of trans-scale mechanics.

Comparative genomic analysis links karyotypic evolution with genomic evolution in the Indian Muntjac (Muntiacus muntjak vaginalis)

The karyotype of Indian muntjacs (Muntiacus muntjak vaginalis) has been greatly shaped by chromosomal fusion, which leads to its lowest diploid number among the extant known mammals. We present, here, comparative results based on draft sequences of 37 bac

金鱼DEAD-box家族基因p68和p110在配子发生中的表达特征

利用组织原位杂交技术,以地高辛标记的反义RNA为探针,检测了金鱼(Carassius auratus)DEAD-box家族基因p68和p110在卵子发生及精子发生中的表达分布特点。结果表明:在金鱼配子发生中,p68基因在各个时期的卵母细胞均有表达,Ⅰ、Ⅱ期卵母细胞中的表达水平较Ⅲ、Ⅳ期卵母细胞中更高。p68基因的表达只限于精原细胞和初级精母细胞中。p110基因在金鱼精子发生各阶段持续表达,其中精原细胞和初级精母细胞中表达水平较高;在卵子发生中,Ⅰ期卵母细胞中没有p110 RNA阳性信号,Ⅱ期卵母细胞中信号

Range-based attacks on links in random scale-free networks

Range and load play key roles in the problem of attacks on links in random scale-free (RSF) networks. In this paper we obtain the approximate relation between range and load in RSF networks by the generating function theory, and then give an estimation about the impact of attacks on the efficiency of the network. The results show that short-range attacks are more destructive for RSF networks, and are confirmed numerically.

Geographical constraints to range-based attacks on links in complex networks

In this paper, we studied range-based attacks on links in geographically constrained scale-free networks and found that there is a continuous switching of roles of short-and long-range attacks on links when tuning the geographical constraint strength. Our results demonstrate that the geography has a significant impact on the network efficiency and security; thus one can adjust the geographical structure to optimize the robustness and the efficiency of the networks. We introduce a measurement of the impact of links on the efficiency of the network, and an effective attacking strategy is suggested

Crystal structure and variation in unit cell parameters with crystallization temperatures of poly (ether ketone ether ketone ketone)s containing meta-phenyl links (PEKEKmK)

The X-ray diffraction patterns of the crystalline aromatic ketone polymer PEKEKmK (aryl ether ketone ether ketone ketone polymer containing meta-phenyl links) have been investigated (for the chemical structure, see Formula). An orthorhombic unit cell is proposed to contain two chains with a = 0.772 nm, b = 0.604 nm and c = 2.572 nm. According to the orthorhombic system, the 11 reflections of this polymer were indexed. Meanwhile, variation in unit cell parameters with crystallization temperatures of PEKEKmK was also investigated. [GRAPHICS]

Crystallization process and morphology structure of poly(aryl ether ether ketone ketone) containing meta-phenyl links

The crystallization process and morphology of poly(aryl ether ether ketone ketone) containing meta-phenyl links (PEEKmK) have been investigated by transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction. The results indicate that the thin films of PEEKmK isothermally crystallized from both the glassy state and the melt at the temperature range of 180 similar to 250 degrees C consist of two kinds of morphological forms, i. e. large (order of mu m), flat-on single crystals and narrow, lath-like, edge-on lamellae, The latter consists of the spherulites. Meanwhile, the growing process of the two kinds of morphological forms has been discussed.

Synthesis and properties of poly(aryl ether ether ketone ketone) containing meta-phenyl links

A Series of poly(aryl ether ether ketone ketone) containing meta-phenyl link were synthesized, the general properties were studied by DSC, stretch, impact, etc.. The results indicated that with the raising of meta linkage monomer fractions, the glass transition point decreased, the melting temperature decreased at first, and then disappeared, but for all-meta-linked polymer, T-m appeared once more. And this kind of polymer had good stretch and impact resistance performance.

A series of poly(aryl ether ketone)s containing meta-phenyl links are synthesized, DSC and wide-angle X-ray scattering, etc, are used to study the general properties of the polymers, With the increasing of meta linkage monomer percentage, the melting temperature decreases sharply at first, then rises steadily, the glass transition point. keeps a stable value, and crystallin;ty and crystallizing rate are reduced, A part of amorphous film of the polymer is annealed at different temperatures, DSC scan shows that besides T-m, a new melting peak (T-m') at low temperature appears, And with heat treating temperature rising, T-m' shifts to high temperature, and T-m keeps a stable value.
