The motion of a small bubble in waves

The motion of a single spherical small bubble due to buoyancy in the ideal fluid with waves is investigated theoretically and experimentally in this article. Assuming that the bubble has no effect on the wave field, equations of a bubble motion are obtained and solved. It is found that the nonlinear effect increases with the increase of the bubble radius and the rising time. The rising time and the motion orbit are given by calculations and experiments. When the radius of a bubble is smaller than 0.5mm and the distance from the free surface is greater than the wave height, the results of the present theory are in close agreement with measurements.

Numerical Analyses of Discrete Gust Response for an Aircraft

Based on Navier-Stokes equations and structural and flight dynamic equations of motion, dynamic responses in vertical discrete gust flow perturbation are investigated for a supersonic transport model. A tightly coupled method was developed by subiterations between aerodynamic equations and dynamic equations of motion. First, under the assumption of rigid-body and single freedom of motion in the vertical plunging, the results of a direct-coupling method are compared with the results of quasi-steady model method. Then, gust responses for the one-minus-cosine gust profile arc analyzed with two freedoms of motion in plunging and pitching for the airplane configurations with and without the consideration of structural deformation.

Dynamic Stability of Electrostatic Torsional Actuators with van Der Waals Effect

electrostatic torsional nano-electro-mechanical systems (NEMS) actuators is analyzed in the paper. The dependence of the critical tilting angle and voltage is investigated on the sizes of structure with the consideration of vdW effects. The pull-in phenomenon without the electrostatic torque is studied, and a critical pull-in gap is derived. A dimensionless equation of motion is presented, and the qualitative analysis of it shows that the equilibrium points of the corresponding autonomous system include center points, stable focus points, and unstable saddle points. The Hopf bifurcation points and fork bifurcation points also exist in the system. The phase portraits connecting these equilibrium points exhibit periodic orbits, heteroclinic orbits, as well as homoclinic orbits.

胶州湾悬浮颗粒物中脂肪酸的时空分布及其在初级生产者到初级消费者食物传递中的作用

研究初级食物供给与初级消费之间数量与质量的关系在海洋浮游生态系统食物网研究中占有基础地位。悬浮颗粒物及浮游动物中脂肪酸的组成和含量可以很好地为食物关系研究提供信息。当悬浮颗粒物在时空上存在数量和质量差异时，这种差异就可能在浮游动物中体现出来，而且通过脂肪酸的信息可以追踪到这种差异。本研究旨在阐明脂肪酸在悬浮颗粒物组成中的生物标记作用和在悬浮颗粒物到浮游动物食物传递过程中的营养指示作用，同时应用这一标记物研究胶州湾海域悬浮颗粒物的大体分布及其与浮游动物间的食物关系。 文章首先依据2005年3月－2006年2月胶州湾颗粒有机碳及叶绿素a的数据估测碳生物量的转化系数，发现该系数受时空环境差异的影响，平均为56，从而推导出胶州湾浮游植物有机碳浓度，进而探讨浮游植物对颗粒有机碳的贡献。对各参数分析结果显示胶州湾颗粒有机碳、叶绿素a和浮游植物有机碳年平均浓度分别为为0.47 mg.L-1、4.16 μg.L-1及0.23 mg.L-1，三者表现出相似的时空变化动态，即湾内沿岸水域较高，湾外较低，夏季较高秋冬季较低。浮游植物对颗粒有机碳的贡献较高，年平均接近37%。 对悬浮颗粒物的脂肪酸组成分析后发现饱和脂肪酸（SSFA）16:0，14:0，18:0及单不饱和脂肪酸（MUFA）Σ16:1(ω7+ω5+ω9)所占比例较高，多不饱和脂肪酸（PUFA）中EPA和DHA也相对较高。总脂肪酸在水体中的绝对浓度及在颗粒有机碳中的相对含量均存在着时空变异，二者的平均变动范围分别在4.7－60.2 μg . L-1及20.1－86.7 μg . mg-1之间，夏季高于秋冬季，空间分布上二者均在湾东部相对较高，而在湾外较低。不同脂肪酸组合的时空变化可以反映出悬浮颗粒物组成的时空动态，其中16:1ω7/18:1ω9、Σ16:1/18:1ω9、Σ16:1/Σ18:1、Σ16/Σ18、Σ16/ΣFA及20:5ω3/22:6ω3等脂肪酸组合在研究海域可以较好的指示硅藻组成，而Σ18/ΣFA 及22:6ω3/ΣFA可以指示甲藻组成，BSFA/ΣFA、Σ(Br+St)/ΣFA 、Br/St (15:0)及 Br/St (15:0+17:0)可以较好的指示细菌，SSFA/ΣFA及(24:0+26:0)/ΣFA可以示踪碎屑组分及其中的陆源成份。ω3系列脂肪酸在有机碳中的含量及在总脂肪酸中的比例以及不饱和指数可以表征悬浮颗粒物的食物质量。通过标志脂肪酸对悬浮颗粒物组成的指示发现冬季2月悬浮颗粒物组成中硅藻所占比例较高，多数月份湾内近岸水域尤其是湾东部细菌组成相对较高，而湾口至湾外水域碎屑含量相对较高。 浮游动物总平均干重生物量为72.6 mg.m-3，平面分布表现为湾内北部及中心区域生物量普遍较高，湾东部水域较低，季节变化表现为总生物量在春季4月及冬季12月形成峰值，总体上在春季5月、夏季7月及秋冬大部分月份相对较低，但不同粒径组成其动态不尽相同。浮游动物的脂肪酸组成与悬浮颗粒物存在一定差别，表现为MUFA比例下降，PUFA比例升高；SSFA中14:0的比例下降，18:0及20:0比例提高，MUFA中20:1ω9比例升高，PUFA中，EPA及DHA所占比例也相对较高。8月份总脂肪酸含量较高，9月与10月相对较小，各粒级内差别不大。 利用主成份分析发现悬浮颗粒物的组分在浮游动物中能够用相应脂肪酸指标进行示踪，当食物数量充分满足需求时，浮游动物脂肪酸特征与悬浮颗粒物组成一致性较高，同时通过脂肪酸示踪发现当潜在食物数量较丰富时，浮游动物的摄食存在选择性，这种选择可能受食物质量的调控，而当食物数量较低时，其选择性也降低。 悬浮颗粒物中EPA含量及不饱和指数是相对重要的食物质量指示物，通过对其指示特征的分析发现胶州湾总体上浮游动物的摄食会影响其食物质量组成；但在8月，浮游动物的生物量受悬浮颗粒物质量的调控，而浮游动物生物量对食物数量的摄食压力较小，认为该时期是食物质量限制对浮游动物生物量影响相对重要的时期，可以用特征脂肪酸进行清晰的分析。

地震波模拟：非规则网格离散的数值解法、吸收边界及其实际应用

This dissertation presents a series of irregular-grid based numerical technique for modeling seismic wave propagation in heterogeneous media. The study involves the generation of the irregular numerical mesh corresponding to the irregular grid scheme, the discretized version of motion equations under the unstructured mesh, and irregular-grid absorbing boundary conditions. The resulting numerical technique has been used in generating the synthetic data sets on the realistic complex geologic models that can examine the migration schemes. The motion equation discretization and modeling are based on Grid Method. The key idea is to use the integral equilibrium principle to replace the operator at each grid in Finite Difference scheme and variational formulation in Finite Element Method. The irregular grids of complex geologic model is generated by the Paving Method, which allow varying grid spacing according to meshing constraints. The grids have great quality at domain boundaries and contain equal quantities of nodes at interfaces, which avoids the interpolation of parameters and variables. The irregular grid absorbing boundary conditions is developed by extending the Perfectly Matched Layer method to the rotated local coordinates. The splitted PML equations of the first-order system is derived by using integral equilibrium principle. The proposed scheme can build PML boundary of arbitrary geometry in the computational domain, avoiding the special treatment at corners in a standard PML method and saving considerable memory and computation cost. The numerical implementation demonstrates the desired qualities of irregular grid based modeling technique. In particular, (1) smaller memory requirements and computational time are needed by changing the grid spacing according to local velocity; (2) Arbitrary surfaces and interface topographies are described accurately, thus removing the artificial reflection resulting from the stair approximation of the curved or dipping interfaces; (3) computational domain is significantly reduced by flexibly building the curved artificial boundaries using the irregular-grid absorbing boundary conditions. The proposed irregular grid approach is apply to reverse time migration as the extrapolation algorithm. It can discretize the smoothed velocity model by irregular grid of variable scale, which contributes to reduce the computation cost. The topography. It can also handle data set of arbitrary topography and no field correction is needed.

中老年男性性激素水平与认知功能的关系

Abstract Objective: Study the relationship between sex hormones and cognitive function in aged male. Methods: The serum sex hormones including Free Testosterone(FT), Total Testosterone(TT), Estradiol(E2), Prolactin(PRL) and Luteotropic Hormone(LH) of 74 elderly men(47-75 years old, mean 58.73) were measured by radioimmunoassay. They were all applied the cognitive tests of episodic memory and verbal fluency. For the episodic memory, four experiments examined picture, digit and words memory separately. Four verbal fluency tests were performed in the middle of each episodic memory. The 74 men were divided into two groups according to the levels of their sex hormones respectively, with each group had 37 subjects. Data was analyzed by the software of SPSS 11.0. Results: Mean age and the mean years of formal education had no significant difference between the groups; Men in the group with higher levels of FT had significantly higher scores in the tests of picture memory and words memory；Men in the group with higher levels of TT had significantly higher scores in the tests of verbal fluency4, picture memory and words memory；Men in the group with higher levels of E2 had significantly higher scores in the tests of picture memory and verbal fluency3,4；There were no correlations between PRL or LH and the cognitive tests. Conclusions: 1 Sex hormones (especially FT, TT, E2) did have effect on the cognitive function in aged male, higher levels of hormones related with higher scores of some cognitive tests. 2 Among the cognitive functions, picture memory and words memory performance seemed being effected by the sex hormones most.

金钱启动与道德的关系及道德认同的调节

In this article, we begin from the research about how money influences the behavior of people, and try to discuss how money influences people's moral judgment on the five degrees of morality (harm/care, fairness/reciprocal, loyalty/in-group, authority/respect, purity/sanctity). Meanwhile, we try to discuss whether the money priming is based on the mechanism of competition priming. Besides that, we want to find out whether moral identification and positive vocabulary could rescue the change of moral judgment after money priming. The money priming in this research is based on picture priming and syntax priming; the competition priming and moral identification priming are based on imagination priming. We chose the undergraduate, graduate student and adult as sample, combined the scale investigation with computer based experiment. This research contains five standard case experiments, which form three. Based on all the research above, we have some conclusions: 1. Money priming has impacts on moral judgment, which are not consistent on different degree of morality. But the total effect of money priming is that it changes moral judgment to a worse state. 2. Money priming is not complete competition priming, but social value orientation (including competition orientation) could mediate the influence of money priming on moral judgment. Generally, people with personal orientation or competition orientation could be influenced more easily by money priming. 3. After money priming, the moral judgment could be influence by moral identification and positive vocabulary. In all, both the moral judgment and positive vocabulary could make the moral judgment to a better state. But the function of them may be different, moral identification is more related to moral cognition and positive vocabulary is more related to moral emotional regulation. This research is based on priming method, and supports the money influence on psychology, the concept of morality and moral identification with experimental evidence. Also this research discusses the measurement of morality.

迁移性安慰剂效应的多模态机制 ：从痛觉到情绪的行为、ERP和fMRI研究

Although studies on placebo effect proved the placebo expectation established by pain-alleviating treatment could significantly alleviate later pain perception, or the placebo expectation established by anxiety-reducing treatment could significantly reduce the intensity of induced negative feelings, it is still unclear whether or not the placebo effect can occur in a transferable manner. That is, we still don’t know if the placebo expectation derived from pain-alleviating can significantly reduce later negative emotional arousal or not. Experiment 1: We compared the effect of the verbal expectation (purely verbal induction and without pain-alleviating reinforcement) with the reinforced expectation (building the belief in the placebo’s ataractic efficiency on unpleasant picture processing by secret reduction of the intensity of the pain-evoking stimulus) on the negative emotion. The results showed that the expectation, which was reinforced by actual analgesia, was transferable and could produce significant placebo effect on negative emotional arousal. However, the expectation that was merely induced by verbal instruction did not have such power. Experiment 2 both examined the direct analgesic effect of the placebo on the sensory pain (how strong is the pain stimulus) and emotional pain (how disturbing is the pain stimulus) and the transferable ataractic effect of the placebo on the negative emotion (how disturbing is the emotional picture stimulus), and further proved that the placebo expectation that was established from pain-reducing reinforcement not only induced significant placebo effect on pain, but also significant placebo effect on unpleasant feeling. These results support the viewpoint that the reduction of affective pain based on the conditioning mechanism plays an important role in the placebo analgesia, but can’t explain the transferred placebo effect on visual unpleasantness. Experiment 3 continued to use the paradigm of the reinforced expectation group and recorded the EEG activities, the data showed that the transferable placebo treatment was accompanied with decreased P2 amplitude and increased N2 distributed, and significant differences between the transferable placebo condition and the control condition (i.e., P2 and N2) were observed within the first 150-300 ms, a duration brief enough to rule out the possibility that differences between the two conditions merely reflect a bias “to try to please the investigator. In Experiment 4, we selected the placebo responders in the pre-experiment and let them to go through the formal fMRI scan. The results found that the transferable placebo treatment reduced the negative emotional response, emotion-responsive regions such as the amygdala, insula, anterior cingulate cortex and the thalamus showed an attenuated activation. And in the placebo condition, there was an enhanced activation in the subcollosal gyrus, which may be involved in emotional regulation. In conclusion, the transferable placebo treatment induced the reliable placebo effect on the behavior, EEG activity and bold signal, and we attempted to discuss the pychophysiological mechanism based on the positive expectancy.
