ASYMMETRIC VORTICES FLOW OVER SLENDER BODY AND ITS ACTIVE CONTROL AT HIGH ANGLE OF ATTACK

The studies of asymmetric vortices flow over slender body and its active control at high angles of attack have significant importance for both academic field and engineering area.This paper attempts to provide an update state of art to the investigations on the fields of forebody asymmetric vortices.This review emphasizes the correlation between micro-perturbation on the model nose and its response and evolution behaviors of the asymmetric vortices.The critical issues are discussed, which include the formation and evolution mechanism of asymmetric multi-vortices;main behaviors of asymmetric vortices flow including its deterministic feature and vortices flow structure;the evolution and development of asymmetric vortices under the perturbation on the model nose;forebody vortex active control especially discussed micro-perturbation active control concept and technique in more detail.However present understanding in this area is still very limited and this paper tries to identify the key unknown problems in the concluding remarks.

Effect of body position on the pathogenesis of asymmetric primary open angle glaucoma

AIM： To explore the pathogenesis of asymmetric primary open angle glaucoma（POAG） in both eyes by comparing the intraocular pressure（IOP） of patients who sleep in different positions and to investigate the relationship between IOP variations and sleep positions.METHODS： One hundred and thirty-one patients with asymmetric POAG and forty-six healthy volunteers were enrolled. All participants completed a questionnaire that provided information about their sleep laterality. The cup disc ratio（C/D） and visual field defect established binocular asymmetry. The IOP of both eyes was measured using i Care parameters after the patients were asked to change body position. The ＂worse＂ and ＂better＂ eyes were identified according to the diagnosis, whereas the ＂dependent＂ and ＂independent＂ eyes were defined according to the lateral position. RESULTS： No significant difference in sleep laterality was observed between healthy people and patients with POAG（F=3.195, P=0.362）. Among the enrolled patients, the IOP of the dependent eye was always greater than that of the independent eye in the lateral position（P〈0.05）. In the patients with binocular asymmetric POAG, the questionnaire clearly showed that 85.7% of left side preferences were found their left eyes to be the worse eyes and the right eyes of 71.4% patients with a right side preference were the more serious. When the asymmetric C/D ratio was greater than or equal to 0.2, the worse eye of patients with POAG and a preferred sleeping position was the dependent eye（χ~2=16.762, P=0.001）.CONCLUSION： A higher IOP was measured in the dependent eye in the lateral position. The long-term tendency to choose a lateral sleeping position might lead the dependent eye to manifest more severe symptoms than the independent eye. Thus, the lateral sleeping position might be one cause of asymmetric POAG.

Ultrasound biomicroscopic imaging demonstrate thinner ciliary body thickness in eyes with angle closure

·AIM:To compare the ciliary body thickness between eyes with primary angle closure(PAC)and primary angle-closure glaucoma(PACG)with the normal eyes,and to investigate the association between ciliary body thickness and ciliary processes situation.·METHODS:In this cross-sectional study,57 patients with PAC/PACG were matched to 57 normal subjects after propensity score matching(PSM)adjusting for age and gender.All subjects underwent conventional ocular examinations and ultrasound biomicroscopy(UBM)examination,among which the patients with PAC/PACG performed the examinations one month after laser peripheral iridotomy(LPI).Quantitative parameters were measured,which included ciliary body thickness at the position of 1 mm posterior to the scleral spur(CBT1),trabecular-ciliary process distance(TCPD)and trabecularciliary process angle(TCA).·RESULTS:Eyes with PAC/PACG presented significantly thinner CBT1,shorter TCPD and smaller TCA(P<0.001)than the normal eyes,both in comparison of the means of four quadrants and in comparisons of each quadrant.After removing images with peripheral anterior synechia(PAS),the same results were also found in comparisons between the two groups.Significant correlations were found between TCPD(R~2=0.537,P<0.001)and TCA(R~2=0.517,P<0.001)with CBT1.·CONCLUSION:Eyes with PAC/PACG have thinner ciliary body thickness and more anteriorly situated ciliary processes.Thinner ciliary body thickness is associated with anterior situation of the ciliary processes.

Removal of intraocular foreign body in anterior chamber angle with prism contact lens and 23-gauge foreign body forceps

AIM：To introduce a novel approach in removal of anterior chamber angle foreign body（ACFB） using a prism contact lens and 23-gauge foreign body forceps.METHODS：Data of 42 eyes of 42 patients who had undergone removal of ACFB using a prism contact lens and 23-gauge foreign body forceps from January 2008 to October 2013 were collected and analyzed. Twenty eyes in group A received the conventional approach by using toothed forceps through corneal limbus incision, and 22 eyes in group B underwent the novel method through the opposite corneal limbus incision. RESULTS：The success rate of ACFB once removal was 75%（15/20） in group A, and 100%（22/22） in group B. The average operation time of group A was significantly longer compared with group B（34.9±9.88 min vs 22.13±8.85min; P〈0.05）. The average size of corneal limbus incision in group A was significantly larger than that of group B（4.85±1.89 mm vs 3.95±1.17 mm; P〈0.05）. The corneal limbus incision suturing were conducted in all eyes in group A, and only 5 eyes in group B. CONCLUSION：Removal of ACFB using a prism contact lens and 23-gauge foreign body forceps is a safer, more effective, and convenient technique compared with the conventional approach.

Phase angle obtained by bioelectrical impedance analysis independently predicts mortality in patients with cirrhosis

AIM To evaluate the prognostic value of the phase angle(PA)obtained from bioelectrical impedance analysis(BIA) for mortality prediction in patients with cirrhosis. METHODS In total, 134 male cirrhotic patients prospectively completed clinical evaluations and nutritional assessment by BIA to obtain PAs during a 36-mo follow-up period. Mortality risk was analyzed by applying the PA cutoff point recently proposed as a malnutrition marker(PA ≤ 4.9°) in Kaplan-Meier curves and multivariate Cox regression models. RESULTS The patients were divided into two groups according to the PA cutoff value(PA > 4.9°, n = 73; PA ≤ 4.9°, n = 61). Weight, height, and body mass index were similar in both groups, but patients with PAs > 4.9° were younger and had higher mid-arm muscle circumference, albumin, and handgrip-strength values and lower severe ascites and encephalopathy incidences, interleukin(IL)-6/IL-10 ratios and C-reactive protein levels than did patients with PAs ≤ 4.9°(P ≤ 0.05). Forty-eight(35.80%) patients died due to cirrhosis, with a median of 18 mo(interquartile range, 3.3-25.6 mo) follow-up until death. Thirty-one(64.60%) of these patients were from the PA ≤ 4.9° group. PA ≤ 4.9° significantly and independently affected the mortality model adjusted for Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score and age(hazard ratio = 2.05, 95%CI: 1.11-3.77, P = 0.021). In addition, Kaplan-Meier curves showed that patients with PAs ≤ 4.9° were significantly more likely to die. CONCLUSION In male patients with cirrhosis, the PA ≤ 4.9° cutoff was associated independently with mortality and identified patients with worse metabolic, nutritional, and disease progression profiles. The PA may be a useful and reliable bedside tool to evaluate prognosis in cirrhosis.

Low Phase Angle Predicts Poor Survival in Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma:A Retrospective Study

Background The phase angle(PA)is an indicator of nutritional status derived from bioelectrical impedance analysis(BIA).Studies have shown that the PA is one of several factors related to the survival of cancer patients.However,the correlation between the PA and prognosis in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)has not been reported.This study aimed to explore the relationship between the PA,nutrition-related indicators,and patient prognosis.Methods The data from 248 HCC patients who underwent BIA between January 2015 and December 2019 at the First Hospital of Jilin University were retrospectively analyzed.Patients were divided into two groups according to the median PA value,then the nutrition-related indicators and overall survival(OS)were compared between the two groups.The correlations between the PA and laboratory test nutrition-related indicators and the results of a body composition analysis were determined using Pearson correlation analysis.Independent predictors of the patient prognosis were identified using univariate and multivariate analyses.Results The median OS in the high and low PA groups were 70 and 54.6 months,respectively(P=0.004).The Pearson correlation analysis revealed that the PA was associated with both laboratory test nutrition-related indicators and the results of a body composition analysis.The multivariable Cox regression analysis identified the PA as an independent risk factor affecting the prognosis of patients with Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer stage A or B.Conclusion The PA is a good biomarker for the nutritional status.We found that the PA was associated with the prognosis in patients with HCC,with a low PA indicating a poor nutritional status and worse prognosis.

Phase angle and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease before and after bariatric surgery

BACKGROUND Obesity is a global health problem that is continuing to increase in the young population.In Brazil,the frequency of obesity in 2018 was 19.8%.Several comorbidities are directly associated with obesity,such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD),which is considered the most common liver disorder in Western countries and affects up to 46%of adults.Bariatric surgery is effective in treating obesity and can improve NAFLD;however,the effect of bariatric surgery on body composition,phase angle(PA),and improving NAFLD needs to be further studied.AIM To analyze the PA in the postoperative period of bariatric surgery and to correlate it with changes in body composition and liver disease.METHODS This study is a retrospective cohort study of the analysis of the medical records of patients undergoing bariatric surgery in a reference center of a teaching hospital in Porto Alegre over a 2-year period.Patients older than 18 years whose record contained all information relevant to the study were included.The data analyzed were body composition and PA through electrical bioimpedance and NAFLD through liver biopsy in the pre-and postoperative period.The level of significance adopted for the statistical analyses was 5%.RESULTS We evaluated 379 patients with preoperative data.Regarding PA,169 patients were analyzed,and 33 patients had liver biopsy pre-and postoperatively with NAFLD information.In total,79.4%were female,with a mean age of 39.1±10.6 years.The average body mass index(BMI)was 45.9±7.5 kg/m².The PA showed a mean of 5.8±0.62°in the preoperative period and a significant reduction in the postoperative period.A postoperative reduction in body composition data(skeletal muscle mass,fat percentage,fat mass,body cell mass,BMI and visceral fat area)was shown as well.Regarding liver disease,all patients presented a reduction in the degrees and stages of liver disease in the postoperative period,and some had no degree of liver disease at all.CONCLUSION PA decreased after bariatric surgery,with a direct correlation with weight loss and changes in body composition.The decrease in PA was not correlated with the improvement in NAFLD.

宽体飞机地面主轮协同转弯控制律设计

主轮协同转弯技术能有效提高飞机的地面机动性,降低主起落架在转弯过程中受到的附加侧向扭矩,减小重载飞机地面转弯半径,但目前实现此技术的前主轮转角控制律设计方法尚不明确。提出以主起落架受力为约束条件,计算不同滑行速度下的前主轮转角关系,在全速度范围内进行分段选择并离散化,据此设计前主轮协同转弯控制律,以原理样机为对象进行仿真分析,验证了该控制律能有效降低两侧主起落架扭矩和的峰值。提出的设计方法对多轮系地面运载装备的复合转弯控制律设计具有一定的理论指导意义。

下肢运动状态特征对裤装臀围的影响分析

为达成合体不束缚目标,探究裤装在不同运动状态下的臀围需求,综合分析人体特征参数、下肢动态参数的约束关系,基于单腿、双腿抬起为起点探讨臀围截面形态变化规律,构建了臀围与人体特征参数、下肢动态参数之间的数学模型,并进行趋势分析以及模型修正。研究结果表明:在单侧抬腿状态时,臀围会随着方向角度α的增加呈现先减小后增大的趋势;而在双侧抬腿状态时,其与臀围呈现负相关关系。抬起角度β与臀围呈正相关,在抬起角度β≤60°时,可按人体运动需求角度计算裤装臀围值;在β>60°时,需要使用坐宽参数代替臀围宽度参数。在下肢多种运动状态下选取臀围变化后的最大值作为不束缚人体的裤装臀围最小值。模型解决了下肢运动状态对裤装臀围的影响,可为裤装臀围制版提供理论依据,为服装定制提供理论参考。

高速条件下细长旋成体背风区流动特性试验研究

导弹全方向攻击时会产生由旋涡主导的复杂流动,发生转捩和流动分离,对导弹的机动性和控制能力具有重大影响。为探索攻角及马赫数对弹体流动形态的影响,针对某细长旋成体在FD-12风洞开展高速粒子图像测速及荧光油流试验,来流Ma分别为0.4、0.6、0.8,攻角范围α为0°~180°,获取了细长体背风区的流场特性演化规律。研究结果表明:当攻角α<90°时,随着攻角的增大,模型背风区流场从附着流变化为分离流,且分离涡从对称变为非对称,最终演化为非定常流动;当攻角α>90°时,情况有所不同,α=100°及α=120°时背风区存在非定常涡脱落现象,时均流场具有明显的非对称性;当攻角α=150°时,迎风面分离区出现不对称偏移,初始分离区下边界已越过模型端面,在模型中后部形成分离线;当攻角α=180°时,时均流场没有明显的特征,在模型头部位置出现了环形分离区及再附区,表明由于底部扰动的影响,该截面流场呈现局部的非定常、非线性流动状态;在攻角相同情况下,增大流场的来流Ma,不但会使分离涡的影响范围变大,也会导致分离涡的位置抬高。

极端风浪下海上机场VLFS连接器载荷响应分析

为了研究浪向角、入射波频率和连接器刚度耦合变化对连接器载荷的影响,以刚模块柔性连接器(rigid module and flexible connector,简称RMFC)模型计算理论为基础,建立8模块海上机场超大浮体水动力模型进行数值模拟水槽实验,分别对连接器在规则波和不规则波下的载荷响应进行频域计算。选取6个连接器刚度条件,研究不同连接器刚度下连接器的载荷响应,在不同海况和连接器刚度条件下考虑0°,30°,45°,60°及90°浪向角的作用,连接器载荷响应幅值主要从纵向、横向及垂向3个方向进行比对。结果表明,同一方向上的载荷在浪向角45°和60°较为敏感,极端风浪耦合环境下,垂向载荷明显比其他两个方向载荷值大,连接器载荷值随刚度值增大而增大,在K5~K6之间呈大幅递增趋势。

四轴水平振动输送机的物料速度仿真分析与实验

针对当前四轴水平振动输送机的物料速度随输送机偏心轴相位角变化规律不明确的问题,以某钢厂水平振动输送机的参数为基础,对机体与物料速度进行了理论推导和仿真分析。首先,推导了机体激振力与机体速度的通用公式,并对3种初始相位角对应的机体速度进行了仿真,分析了初始相位角对机体速度的影响规律;然后,对机体速度和物料速度进行了对比仿真,并研究了物料起始运动时间、初始相位角以及角频率对物料速度的影响规律;最后,采用仿真软件分析了固定高速轴(或低速轴)的初始相位角时,物料稳态平均速度随低速轴(或高速轴)相位角变化的规律,并对相关内容进行了实验验证。研究结果表明:输送机4个偏心轴以及齿轮等相关部件组装完成后,物料的稳态平均速度不随任一个偏心轴质心相位角的变化而变化;在输送机稳定运行时,物料的稳态平均速度与其加入料槽内的先后顺序无关;此外,针对某一机型的最佳物料速度,在高速轴(或低速轴)的初始相位角不同时,两种轴的相位角差也可能不同,单纯指定相位角差3π/4、π/2或3π/2等特定角度以利于物料输送的方案是不合理的,应该同时规定高低速偏心轴的相位角。

11 GHz不同室内场景的WBAN信道特性研究

为了探索高频段室内无线体域网通信的可行性,对11 GHz室内无线体域网的传播特性进行了测量与研究。基于大量的测量数据,给出了11 GHz频段室内无线体域网的路径损耗、阴影效应与均方根时延扩展的统计特性。针对体对体通信时人体相对角度变化的场景,提出了一种具有相对角度影响的路径损耗模型,该模型利用了与身体角度相关的路径损耗指数、浮动截距以及身体角度因子修正相对角度变化引入的路径损耗。为了验证模型的适用性,对比分析了在小型空教室和大型会议室两种不同场景下相对角度变化对信道传播特性的影响。研究结果表明:在收发端距离固定的情况下,路径损耗指数、浮动截距和由相对角度引起的路径损耗(Path Loss caused by Relative Angle,PLRA)均与相对角度具有三角函数关系;在收发端相对角度固定时,PLRA与收发端距离无关,仅与相对角度有关。上述研究结果可以为11 GHz频段在未来室内无线体域网的使用提供理论基础与实践依据。

三轴振动激励下悬挂座椅垂向传递率试验研究

针对三轴激励下无源空气弹簧悬挂座椅垂向振动传递特性进行了试验研究。其中,垂向激励幅值设置为0.25 m/s^(2)r.m.s.、0.5 m/s^(2)r.m.s.或1.0 m/s^(2)r.m.s.,纵向和横向激励幅值同为0 m/s^(2)r.m.s.、0.5 m/s^(2)r.m.s.或1.0 m/s^(2)r.m.s.;座椅靠背倾角设置为0°、10°或20°。研究表明,垂向和水平方向振动激励幅值的增加均引起悬挂座椅传递率共振频率的降低,并影响座椅有效幅值传递率;在较小幅值(0.25 m/s^(2)r.m.s.)的垂向振动激励下,靠背倾角对该共振频率也有一定影响。此外,垂向和水平振动幅值对座椅传递率的影响存在轴间耦合效应,当垂向振动的幅值增大时,水平振动幅值从0.25 m/s^(2)r.m.s.增大到1.0 m/s^(2)r.m.s.所造成的传递率峰值的变化程度将减小,反之亦然。
