Back Frame Section Size Optimization of Large Aperture Telescope

The back frame structure of a large radio telescope is an important component supporting the reflecting surface,which is directly related to the surface precision.Its optimal design is of key significance for ensuring the surface precision and reducing structural weight.Two methods are constructed to optimize the cross-section size of the telescope back frame in this paper,the criterion method and the first-order optimization method.The criterion method is based on the Lagrangian multiplier method and Kuhn-Tucker condition.This method first establishes the mathematical model by taking the inner and outer radiuses of the back frame beams as the design variables,the structural weight as the constraint condition,and the structural compliance as the objective function,then derives the optimization criterion.The first-order optimization method takes the inner and outer radiuses of the beams as the design variables,the back frame RMS as the objective function,and the structural weight as the constraint condition.Comparison of RMS,structural stress uniformity and optimization efficiency shows that both algorithms can effectively reduce structural deformation and improve RMS,but the criterion method has relatively better result than the first-order method.

Structure,variation and assembly processes of bacterial communities in different root-associated niches of tomato under periodic drought and nitrogen addition

Root-associated bacteria play a vital role in the growth and adaptation of host plants to drought stress.These bacteria can be classified as rhizoplane and rhizosphere bacteria based on their distance from the root surface.Tomato plants are often exposed to periodic drought and nitrogen(N)addition throughout their life cycle,but the impacts of these factors on the plant and root-associated bacteria are not well understood.To gain insight into this relationship,we conducted an experiment to monitor the effects of periodic drought and N addition on rhizoplane and rhizosphere bacteria of tomato plants.Drought and N addition had interactive effects on plant and soil properties,which varied with the timing of drought.There were clear divergences in community traits such as alpha diversity,beta diversity,and network topological features between the two types of bacteria.The rhizoplane bacteria showed lower alpha diversity but higher beta diversity and were more sensitive to drought and N addition than the rhizosphere bacteria.Nitrogen addition could downsize the effects of drought on rhizoplane bacterial community compositions.The higher proximity to the root might induce a community to develop more cooperation between different members to cope with plant metabolites,as revealed by the more connected and modularized community network of the rhizoplane bacteria.Drought at the seedling stage had great legacy effects on plant and soil properties.It may enhance selection,cause the dominance of deterministic processes in the assembly of rhizoplane bacteria,and reduce bacterial community network complexity.In conclusion,N addition could interact with drought in affecting tomato plants and their root-associated bacteria,depending on the timing of drought and the fineness of root niches.The higher sensitivity of rhizoplane bacteria to drought and N addition calls for more research due to their higher proximity and importance to plants in future environmental changes.
