Multi-rate sensors are employed to observe the system states which cannot be directly obtained by encoders due to the existence of joint flexibilities. By using an extended Kalman filter (EKF), the finite-time synergetic controller is designed based on a sensor fusion estimator which estimates states and parameters of the mechanical system with multi-rate measurements. The proposed controller can guarantee the finite-time convergence of tracking errors by the theoretical derivation. Simulation and experimental studies are included to validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.展开更多

Such acceleration often gives a patient physical stress such as blood pressure variation or body sway, which causes strong pain, feeling of discomfort or sometimes critical damage for seriously injured persons. To reduce this undesirable effect of the acceleration, the authors developed the actively-controlled bed (ACB) which controls the posture of a stretcher in real time to reduce foot-to-head and lateral acceleration acting on a supine person. This paper describes development of the ACB, including control system design and performance evaluation. The control system is designed by Zakian's framework, which comprises the principle of matching and the method of inequalities, so that the design specifications on the tracking error and the motor torque are satisfied. From the results of driving experiments and simulation, it is estimated that the ACB can reduce the acceleration acting on a patient by 65% in the foot-to-head direction and by 75% in the lateral direction.展开更多

The force may cause particles movement and has special advantage to separate particles from liquid in Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS). It is important to improve the energy stored in liquid layer so as to increase separation ability for decreasing drive demand in MEMS. Resonance may hugely increase the magnitude and generally be employed in micro separator. The summits of admittance spectrum show the resonance frequencies. It may come from resonance in one layer or multi layers in micro separator. This paper studies the difference of energy stored in layers at each rein frequency. It provides the way to select the most effect separation frequency other than admittance spectrum.展开更多

A wide band Frequency Reconfigurable Rectangular Slotted Self Similar Antenna has been proposed in this paper. The rectangular slotted patch is repeated for two iterations at different scales and is separated by means of Radio Frequency Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (RF MEMS) switches in order to provide reconfigurability. The antenna can operate in three frequency bandsi.e. K-band, Ku-band and Ka-band by altering the states of RF MEMS switches. To avoid fringing effects and to improve antenna performance, quarter wavelength (λ/4) spacing is required between the antenna and the ground plane. However, a Reconfigurable Antenna requires different λ/4 spacing which is difficult to achieve using a common ground plane. So the Frequency Reconfigurable antenna is integrated with high impedance surface (HIS) like Electronic Band Gap (EBG) structures to suppress standing waves and surface waves with a unified profile thickness of 1.75 mm. The overall dimension of the proposed antenna along with RF MEMS Switch, feed element and HIS is about 8 mm × 8 mm × 1.75 mm. The simulated results of the proposed antenna reveal enhancement in antennas performance like Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR), Front to Back Ratio (FBR) and bandwidth when it is placed over HIS EBG. Also the radiation patterns of the proposed antenna when placed over EBG shows the suppression of side lobe and backward radiation.展开更多

Once released to circulation upon exercise or cold exposure, irisin stimulates browning of white adipose tissue (WAT) and uncoupling protein I (UCP1) expression, leading to an increase in total body energy expenditure by augmented UCPl-mediated thermogenesis. It is currently unknown whether irisin is secreted by bone upon exercise or whether it regulates bone metabolism in vivo. In this study, we found that 2 weeks of voluntary wheel-running exercise induced high levels of FNDC5 messenger RNA as well as FNDC5/irisin protein expression in murine bone tissues. Increased immunoreactivity due to exercise-induced FNDC5/irisin expression was detected in different regions of exercised femoral bones, including growth plate, trabecular bone, cortical bone, articular cartilage, and bone-tendon interface. Exercise also increased expression of osteogenic markers in bone and that of UCP1 in WAT, and led to bodyweight loss. Irisin intraperitoneal (IP) administration resulted in increased trabecular and cortical bone thickness and osteoblasts numbers, and concurrently induced UCP1 expression in subcutaneous WAT. Lentiviral FNDC5 IP administration increased cortical bone thickness. In vitro studies in bone cells revealed irisin increases osteoblastogenesis and mineralization, and inhibits receptor activator of nuclear factor-kB ligand (RANKL)- induced osteoclastogenesis. Taken together, our findings show that voluntary exercise increases irisin production in bone, and that an increase in circulating irisin levels enhances osteogenesis in mice.展开更多

[ Method ] SA was used as an inducer to treat tomato seedlings, the effects of SA on mycelial diameter and spore germination of B. cinerea were studied, and the changes of 4 defense enzyme activities containing catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), as well as malondialdehyde (MDA) content during the production process of induced resistance were also measured. [ Result] SA had no inhibitory effect against spore germination and myce- lial growth of B. cinerea within the concentration range, and the relative induced effect had different degrees of improvement after treatment. The induced effect was the best as B. cinerea was challenged to inoculate at the third day after using 150 mg/L SA in tomato plants, and the duration of resistance was 10 -15 d. After treated by SA, CAT, POD, PPO and PAL first increased and then decreased in systemic induced resistance against B. cinerea, which were significantly higher than control. Meanwhile, MDA content showed ascendant trend in wavy line form. [ Conclusion ] The use of SA within a certain concentration range is safe; CAT, POD, PPO and PAL activities have positive correlation with induced resistance against B. cinerea, the increase of MDA content also has close relationship with the imvrovement of disease resistance.展开更多

Based on the x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope results of the recovered samples, it is clearly shown that homogenous nanostructures are formed only by the rapid compression processes, and that the average crystal sizes are about 18.7 and 19.0 nm in the samples recovered from 2.8 and 3.5 GPa, respectively. The relative density of the nanocrystalline bulk reaches 98.17% of the theoretical value. It is suggested that rapid compression could induce pervasive nucleation and restrain grain growth during the solidification, which is related to fast supercooling, higher viscosity of the melt and lower diffusivity of atoms under high pressure.展开更多

Irisin intraperitoneal (IP) administration resulted in increased trabecular and cortical bone thickness and osteoblasts numbers, and concurrently induced UCP1 expression in subcutaneous WAT. Lentiviral FNDC5 IP administration increased cortical bone thickness. In vitro studies in bone cells revealed irisin increases osteoblastogenesis and mineralization, and inhibits receptor activator of nuclear factor-kB ligand (RANKL)- induced osteoclastogenesis. Taken together, our findings show that voluntary exercise increases irisin production in bone, and that an increase in circulating irisin levels enhances osteogenesis in mice.
文摘[ Objective ] The paper was to explore the induced resistance of tomato against gray mold (Botrytis cinerea) by salicylic acid. [ Method ] SA was used as an inducer to treat tomato seedlings, the effects of SA on mycelial diameter and spore germination of B. cinerea were studied, and the changes of 4 defense enzyme activities containing catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), as well as malondialdehyde (MDA) content during the production process of induced resistance were also measured. [ Result] SA had no inhibitory effect against spore germination and myce- lial growth of B. cinerea within the concentration range, and the relative induced effect had different degrees of improvement after treatment. The induced effect was the best as B. cinerea was challenged to inoculate at the third day after using 150 mg/L SA in tomato plants, and the duration of resistance was 10 -15 d. After treated by SA, CAT, POD, PPO and PAL first increased and then decreased in systemic induced resistance against B. cinerea, which were significantly higher than control. Meanwhile, MDA content showed ascendant trend in wavy line form. [ Conclusion ] The use of SA within a certain concentration range is safe; CAT, POD, PPO and PAL activities have positive correlation with induced resistance against B. cinerea, the increase of MDA content also has close relationship with the imvrovement of disease resistance.

文摘The melt's solidification behavior of elemental selenium is investigated by a series of experiments including rapid compressing to 2.8 and 3.5 GPa within 20ms respectively, slow compressing to 2.8 GPa for 20 min and natural cooling at ambient pressure. Based on the x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope results of the recovered samples, it is clearly shown that homogenous nanostructures are formed only by the rapid compression processes, and that the average crystal sizes are about 18.7 and 19.0 nm in the samples recovered from 2.8 and 3.5 GPa, respectively. The relative density of the nanocrystalline bulk reaches 98.17% of the theoretical value. It is suggested that rapid compression could induce pervasive nucleation and restrain grain growth during the solidification, which is related to fast supercooling, higher viscosity of the melt and lower diffusivity of atoms under high pressure.
