Stress intensity factors calculation in anti-plane fracture problem by orthogonal integral extraction method based on femol

For an anti-plane problem, the differential operator is self-adjoint and the corresponding eigenfunctions belong to the Hilbert space. The orthogonal property between eigenfunctions (or between the derivatives of eigenfunctions) of anti-plane problem is exploited. We developed for the first time two sets of radius-independent orthogonal integrals for extraction of stress intensity factors (SIFs), so any order SIF can be extracted based on a certain known solution of displacement (an analytic result or a numerical result). Many numerical examples based on the finite element method of lines (FEMOL) show that the present method is very powerful and efficient.

Identificación molecular de Burkholderia glumae, causante del añublo bacterial, en cinco zonas arroceras de Nicaragua

De octubre-diciembre 2012 se realizó el diagnóstico molecular de la bacteria causante del añublo bacterial (Burkholderia glumae) en cinco zonas arroceras de Nicaragua: Sébaco, Malacatoya, Boaco, León y Chinandega. Se colectaron 133 muestras en las zonas de estudio, con el fin de aislar e identificar las cepas de Burkholderia glumae. Todas las muestras fueron procesadas en el Centro de Biología Molecular de la Universidad Centroamericana. Se estandarizó y optimizó la prueba de PCR, para la identificación de la bacteria se amplificó un fragmento de 282 pares de bases de la región 16S de ADN ribosomal. 74% de las muestras resultaron positivas. La bacteria está presente en las zonas de estudio. Se realizaron aislamientos de colonias para su posterior identificación mediante la técnica de secuenciación. La cepa BGR1 está presente en las zonas evaluadas. Se requiere monitorear Burkholderia glumae en ambas épocas de siembra para llevar un registro de daños y la identificación de diferentes cepas.

Unloading characteristics of anti-plane shear crack in softening materials

The local characteristics of the anti-plane shear stress and strain field are determined for a material where the stress increases linearly with strain up to a limit and then softens nonlinearly. Two unloading models are considered such that the unloading path always returns to the origin while the other assumes the unloading modulus to be that of the initial shear modulus. As the applied shear increases, an unloading zone is found to prevail between a zone in which the material softens and another zone in which the material is linear-elastic even though the crack does not propagate. The divisions of these zones are displayed graphically.

The Mitogenic and Anti-Apoptotic Activity of Tumor Conditioned Medium on Endothelium

This study was designed to observe the effect of tumor conditioned medium (TCM) on the proliferation and apoptosis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). HUVECs were exposed to TCM from breast carcinoma cell line MDA-MB-231, then we measured their proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle distribution by MTT and flow cytometery (FCM). Following the stimulation of TCM, HUVECs showed higher pro-mitogenic and anti-apoptotic ability than did the negative control group (ECGF-free medium with 20% FBS), but a similar ability to the positive control group (medium with ECGF and 20% FBS). From these results, we can conclude that breast carcinoma cell line MDA-MB-231 could secret soluble pro-angiogenic factors that induce HUVEC angiogenic switching, including cell cycle progression, proliferation and growth. The role and character of these factors remain to be further studied.
