Mechanical effects of light on the ■-type three-level atom in a high-finesse optical cavity

A theoretical study is carried out for the modification and implication of the effect on the type three level atom in a high-finesse optical cavity driven by light field including spontaneous emission and the cavity decay. Analytic expressions for the dipole force, the friction force, the optical potentials and the friction coefficient are obtained. Then the numerical and graphical methods are used to investigate the friction coefficient with the controlling parameters. It is shown that the friction coefficient is strongly dependent on the controlling parameters. The cooling rate can increase by one order of magnitude more than that of a two-level atomic system. The reason can be given using the dressed states and the Sisyphus cooling mechanism, which would stimulate further experimental investigations.

Mechanical effects of needle texture on acupoint tissue

Objective:This study aims to clarify how the stimulation of acupuncture points is achieved by needles with different surface texture during acupuncture;it also seeks to lessen injury at the insertion site and increase the therapeutic efficacy of acupuncture,by simulating the mechanical effects of various needle surface patterns on Zusanli(ST36)without changing the radius of acupuncture needles.Methods:Five acupuncture needle models with different surface patterns,including the smooth needle,the lined needle,the ringed needle,the left-hand threaded needle and the right-hand threaded needle,and a layered model of the Zusanli acupoint were used to investigate how to reduce tissue damage and increase stimulation during acupuncture treatment,Puncturing of the skin as well as liftinginserting and twisting needle manipulations were simulated using these models,and the degree of damage and force of stimulation caused by the acupuncture needles with different surface patterns during acupuncturewerecompared.Results:The smooth needle and the lined needle caused the least tissue damage during insertion,while the left-hand threaded and the right-hand threaded needles caused the most damage.The ringed needle,the left-hand threaded needle and the right-hand threaded needle stimulated the acupoint tissue more during lifting-inserting manipulations,while the lined needle and the smooth needle produced less stimulation.The stimulation of the lined needle on the acupoint tissue was the largest during twisting manipulation,whereas the left-hand threaded needle and the right-hand threaded needle had smaller effects.In lifting-inserting and twisting manipulations,both the left-hand threaded needle and right-hand threaded needle provided more stimulation,but the torsion direction in which they produced better stimulation was theopposite.Conclusion:According to the simulation results,the ringed pattern enhances stimulation best in the lifting-inserting manipulation,whereas the lined pattern enhances stimulation best in the twisting manipulation.Both the right-hand and left-hand thread patterns have certain enhancing effects in these two operations.Taking the geometric properties of the pattern into account,the left-hand thread pattern and the right-hand thread pattern have the geometric characteristics of both the lined pattern and the ringed pattern.To conclude,a pattern perpendicular to the movement direction during the acupuncture manipulation creates more stimulation.These results have significance for future needle design.

Effects of A1 Additions on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of MoSi_2

The effects of Al additions on the microstructure and mechanical properties of MoSi2 have been studied. With the A1 additions from 2.5 wt pct to 5 wt pct, the siliceous grain boundary phase in hot pressed samples was eliminated because of the formation of Al2O3 particles. It was shown that Al and SiO2 reacted at 860℃. During the reaction, A1 atoms were mainly transferred to Al2O3 particles, and to some extent, diffused into MoSi2 grains. Both the toughness and strength of Al containing composites exceeded those of pure MoSi2 material. Bending strength and fracture toughness reach the highest value of 350 MPa, 4.05 MPa.m1/2, respectively, at ambient temperature when Al addition was of 3.5 wt pct.

Effects of N on Electronic and Mechanical Properties of H-Type SiC

Structural, electronic and mechanical properties of the nH-SiC （n = 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10） polytypes are calculated by using the first-principles calculations based on the density-functional theory approach. The optimized lattice parameters of nH-SiC are in good agreement with the experimental data. The mechanical properties, including elastic constants, bulk modulus, Young＇s modulus, shear modulus and Poisson＇s ratio, are calculated. The analysis of elastic properties indicates that the effects of n on the mechanical properties of the five nil-SiC structures have no difference. The indirect band gap relationship for the live polytypes is Ebg2H 〉 Ebg4H 〉 Ebg6H 〉 Ebg10H 〉 EbgsH.

Quantum-Mechanical Study on Surrounding-Gate Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors

As the channel length of metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors （MOSFETs） scales into the nanometer regime, quantum mechanical effects are becoming more and more significant. In this work, a model for the surrounding-gate （SG） nMOSFET is developed. The SchrSdinger equation is solved analytically. Some of the solutions are verified via results obtained from simulations. It is found that the percentage of the electrons with lighter conductivity mass increases as the silicon body radius decreases, or as the gate voltage reduces, or as the temperature decreases. The eentroid of inversion-layer is driven away from the silicon-oxide interface towards the silicon body, therefore the carriers will suffer less scattering from the interface and the electrons effective mobility of the SG nMOSFETs will be enhanced.

Three-dimensional stability calculation method for high and large composite slopes formed by mining stope and inner dump in adjacent open pits

The 2D limit equilibrium method is widely used for slope stability analysis.However,with the advancement of dump engineering,composite slopes often exhibit significant 3D mechanical effects.Consequently,it is of significant importance to develop an effective 3D stability calculation method for composite slopes to enhance the design and stability control of open-pit slope engineering.Using the composite slope formed by the mining stope and inner dump in Baiyinhua No.1 and No.2 open-pit coal mine as a case study,this research investigates the failure mode of composite slopes and establishes spatial shape equations for the sliding mass.By integrating the shear resistance and sliding force of each row of microstrip columns onto the bottom surface of the strip corresponding to the main sliding surface,a novel 2D equivalent physical and mechanical parameters analysis method for the strips on the main sliding surface of 3D sliding masses is proposed.Subsequently,a comprehensive 3D stability calculation method for composite slopes is developed,and the quantitative relationship between the coordinated development distance and its 3D stability coefficients is examined.The analysis reveals that the failure mode of the composite slope is characterized by cutting-bedding sliding,with the arc serving as the side interface and the weak layer as the bottom interface,while the destabilization mechanism primarily involves shear failure.The spatial form equation of the sliding mass comprises an ellipsoid and weak plane equation.The analysis revealed that when the coordinated development distance is 1500 m,the error rate between the 3D stability calculation result and the 2D stability calculation result of the composite slope is less than 8%,thereby verifying the proposed analytical method of equivalent physical and mechanical parameters and the 3D stability calculation method for composite slopes.Furthermore,the3D stability coefficient of the composite slope exhibits an exponential correlation with the coordinated development distance,with the coefficient gradually decreasing as the coordinated development distance increases.These findings provide a theoretical guideline for designing similar slope shape parameters and conducting stability analysis.

An Experimental Analysis of Gas-Liquid Flow Breakdown in a T-Junction

When a gas-liquid two-phase flow(GLTPF)enters a parallel separator through a T-junction,it generally splits unevenly.This phenomenon can seriously affect the operation efficiency and safety of the equipment located downstream.In order to investigate these aspects and,more specifically,the so-called bias phenomenon(all gas and liquid flowing to one pipe,while the other pipe is a liquid column that fluctuates up and down),laboratory experiments were carried out by using a T-junction connected to two parallel vertical pipes.Moreover,a GLTPF prediction model based on the principle of minimum potential energy was introduced.The research results indicate that this model can accurately predict the GLTPF state in parallel risers.The boundary of the slug flow and the churn flow in the opposite pipe can be predicted.Overall,according to the results,the pressure drop curves of the two-phase flow in the parallel risers are basically the same when there is no bias phenomenon,but the pressure drop in the parallel riser displays a large deviation when there is a slug flow-churn flow.Only when the parallel riser is in a state of asymmetric flow and one of the risers produces churn flow,the two-phase flow is prone to produce the bias phenomenon.

A simple analytical model has been developed to study quantum mechanical effects （QME） in a germanium substrate MOSFET （metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor）, which includes gate oxide tunneling considering the energy quantization effects in the substrate. Some alternate high dielectric constant materials to reduce the tunneling have also been studied. By comparing with the numerically reported results, the results match well with the existing reported work.

Influence of air pressure on mechanical effect of laser plasma shock wave

The influence of air pressure on mechanical effect of laser plasma shock wave in a vacuum chamber produced by a Nd：YAG laser has been studied. The laser pulses with pulse width of 10ns and pulse energy of about 320mJ at 1.06μm wavelength is focused on the aluminium target mounted on a ballistic pendulum, and the air pressure in the chamber changes from 2.8 × 10^ 3 to 1.01 × 10^5pa. The experimental results show that the impulse coupling coefficient changes as the air pressure and the distance of the target from focus change. The mechanical effects of the plasma shock wave on the target are analysed at different distances from focus and the air pressure.

Effects of signal regulatory proteinα1 on proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma: a preliminary study

BACKGROUND: Signal regulatory protein alpha1 (Sirpα1) is a negative regulatory factor, and inhibits receptor tyro- sine kinase-dependent cell proliferating signal. This study was undertaken to observe the effect of signal regulatory proteinα1 ( Sirpα1) on gankyrin, cyclin D1, CDK4 and Fas expression in Sk-hep1 mouse hepatoma carcinoma cell line. METHODS: BOSC 23 packed cells were respectively trans- fected by means of recombinated retrovirus including pLX- SN, pLXSN-Sirpα1 and pLXSN-Sirpα1Δ4Y2 with lipofec- tin, and various plasmid virus media (viral titer 2.1 × 106 CFU/ml) were collected and infected respectively in 80% confluent Sk-hepl cells. Transfected Sk-hep1 cells were se- lectively screened with G418 (1200 μg/ml), and Sk-hep1 cell lines transfected with various plasmids were obtained. The protein expressions of gankyrin, cyclin D1, CDK4 and Fas in various Sk-hep1 lines were determined by Western blotting. Various Sk-hep1 lines were recovered to culture with 10% fetal bovine serum at 12 hours and 24 hours after starving culture with free serum for 72 hours, and cells were collected to determine the percentage of S phase cells of proliferating cycle by flow cytometry. RESULTS: Sirpα1 transfection remarkably downregulated gankyrin and cyclin D1 expression. Sirpα1Δ4Y2 downregu- lation of gankyrin expression was greater than that of Sirpα1(P <0.05), but no significant effect of Sirpα1 and Sirpα1Δ4Y2 on CDK4 and Fas protein expression was ob- served in transfected Sk-hep1 lines (P >0.05). The per- centage of S phase cells significantly decreased in Sk-hep1 cells transfected with Sirpα1 and Sirpα1Δ4Y2 plasmids (vs pLXSN Sk-hep1, P <0.05). The percentage of S phase cells in various Sk-hep1 cells increased when recovering to culture with 10% fetal bovine serum at 12 hours, but the percentage of S phase cells in Sk-hep1 cells transfected with Sirpα1 was the lowest ( vs pLXSN and Sirpα1Δ4Y2 Sk- hepl, P<0.05). The percentage of S phase cells in trans- fected pLSXN Sk-hep1 cells was the largest (vs Sirpα1 and Sirpα1Δ4Y2 Sk-hepl, P <0. 05). There was no significant difference between the transfected Sirpα1 Sk-hepl cells and Sirpα1Δ4Y2 Sk-hep1 cells (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Sirpα1 decreases gankyrin and cyclin D1 expression, and inhibits proliferation of liver carcinoma cells. It may be one of the forms for an Sirpα1 negative regulation of carcinogenesis and development of hepatocel- lular carcinoma.

Effect of excitation current intensity on mechanical properties of ZL205A castings solidified under a traveling magnetic field

The effect of excitation current intensity on the mechanical properties of ZL205 A castings solidified under a traveling magnetic field was studied. The results of the experiment indicate that the excitation current intensity of the traveling magnetic field has a great influence on the mechanical properties of the ZL205 A castings. When the excitation current intensity is 15 A, the tensile strength and elongation of ZL205 A alloy castings increase 27.2% and 67.7%, respectively, compared with those of the same alloy solidified under gravity. The improvement of mechanical properties is attributed to the decrease of micro-porosity in the alloy. Under the traveling magnetic field, the feeding pressure in the alloy melt before solidification can be enhanced due to the electromagnetic force. Moreover, the melt flow induced by the traveling magnetic field can decrease the temperature gradient. The feeding resistance will be increased because the temperature gradient decrease. So traveling magnetic field has an optimum effect on feeding.

Effect of Irradiation on Crystallinity and Mechanical Properties of Ultrahigh-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene

Ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene(UtlMWPE) has been irradiated (0-40 Mrad) with a Co^(60) source at room temperature under vacuum. Their crystallinity has been investigated by DSC and SAXS A significant increase of heat of fusion can be seen at low irradiation doses, which is attributed to crystallization caused by chain scission during the process of irradiation. It is also observed that thickness of lamellae changes with irradiation dose. Young's modulus has been improved significantly after irradiation at low doses.

Effect of Trace Sc and Zr on the Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of A1 Alloy 2618

An experimental 2618(Al-Cu-Mg-Fe-Ni) alloy added with trace Sc and Zr was prepared by ingot metallurgy (IM) method. The aging behavior of the alloy was studied by Vickers hardness measurement at 200℃ and 300℃. and the tensile properties of alloy specimens were measured at 20℃, 200℃, 250℃ and 300℃. The microstructure was observed by using optical microscope, SEM and TEM. It was found that the addition of Sc and Zr to 2618 alloy resulted in a primary Al_3(Sc,Zr) phase which could refine the grain because it acts as nuclei of heterogeneous crystallization in the melt during solidification. The secondary Al_3(Sc,Zr) particles were full coherent with matrix and had obvious precipitation hardening effect. They also made the S' phase precipitate more homogeneous. So the strength of alloy increases at both ambient and elevated temperatures without a decrease of ductility. The ductile fracture of alloy occurs by microvoid nucleation, growth and coalescence, so the microvoid coalescence is the dominant fracture mechanism.

Effect of Abrasive Concentration on Chemical Mechanical Polishing of Sapphire

Effects of abrasive concentration on material removal rate CMRR） and surtace quality m the chemical mecnamcal polishing （CMP） of light-emitting diode sapphire substrates are investigated. Experimental results show that the MRR increases linearly with the abrasive concentration, while the rms roughness decreases with the increasing abrasive concentration. In addition, the in situ coefficient of friction （COF） is also conducted during the sapphire polishing process. The results present that COF increases sharply with the abrasive concentration up to 20 wt% and then shows a slight decrease from 20wt% to 40wt%. Temperature is a product of the friction force that is proportional to COF, which is an indicator for the mechanism of the sapphire CMP.

Effects of Rare Earths on Properties and Microstructure of Automotive Friction Materials

Rare earth compounds as modifiers used widely in modern friction materials can enhance the interfacial binding of constituents of materials and improve the comprehensive properties of materials evidently. However, there are still few reports on application of rare earth in automotive friction materials. In order to study the effect mechanism of rare earths in friction materials, a rare earth compound was selected as additive and the effects of materials doped with or without rare earth on friction and wear properties of materials were studied. The microstructure and worn surface morphology were observed by scanning electron microscopy and the macro performance was discussed. Worn surface element constitution of materials was analyzed by energy dispersive spectroscopy. Effect mechanism of rare earths on friction and wear behaviors of friction materials were discussed. The results show that doping rare earths in friction materials can stabilize friction coefficient, lower the wear rate of materials and increase the impact strength of materials. The flexibility and fracture resistance of materials is greatly improved. Worn surface of materials doped with rare earth is compact and the surface adhesion is greatly enhanced.

It was found that the chemical shifts for Na^+ signal shifted downfield with the increase in the relative amounts of monovalent cations. It was suggested that mono-valent cations had competition coordination with Na^+ for Dy(PPP)_2^(7-).

MULTIPLE SCATTERING THEORY OF EFFECTIVE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF INHOMOGENEOUS MEDIA

The rate of hydrothermal reaction of SiO_2 and/or A1_2O_3 in the system of CaO-Al_2O_3-SiO_2-H_2O at 200℃ and the factors which influence the reactions are investigated by determining the reaction ratio.The rate of reactions depends on the reactive activities of raw materials, initial composition of mixture and relative activity of SiO_2 and A12O3. The hydrothermal reaction can be accelerated by sodium hydroxide,in the case of silica,which has low activity, this is quite obvious.

MECHANISM OF PROMOTING EFFECTS OF RIBOFLAVIN DEFICIENCY ON CARCINOGENESIS OF NITROSAMINES (EFFECTS ON RAT LIVER GLUTATHIONE CONTENT)

The effects of riboflavin deficiency and simultaneously nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) given by gastric intubation on the hepatic glutathione (GSH) content were examined in rats. On different days of the experiment, hepatic GSH content of the riboflavin deficient rats decreased to 55-61% of the control rats. When NDMA was given 6 mg kg by gastric intubation to riboflavin deficient rats, hepatic GSH content decreased markedly to 39-43% of the control rats. After supplying riboflavin, hepatie GSH content of the deficient rats recovered to the level of the control rats. These results suggest that alterations of rat hepatic GSH content during riboflavin deficiency may imply as one of the promoting effects of riboflavin deficiency on the carcinogenesis of nitrosamines.

An empirical study on the green effects of new energy vehicle promotion in the context of global carbon neutrality

In the context of global carbon neutrality,new energy vehicle promotion(NEVP)has become an important means of reducing carbon emissions.This paper constructs a theoretical model and uses panel data on NEVP in 21 countries from 2012 to 2018 to empirically examine the green effect of NEVP.The results indicate the following:(1)NEVP significantly reduces greenhouse gases emissions,and the green effect can be transmitted and diffused through a direct path.(2)Replacing fuel-fired vehicles and accelerating the end-of-life vehicle scrapping process significantly conducted the green effect,and aggravating traffic congestion was not statistically significant.(3)The transmission mechanism of the green effect is regulated by regional economic heterogeneity.In regions with better development of fuel-fired vehicles,the transmission of the green effect is subject to the elimination of fuel-fired vehicles and traffic congestion governance,and the transmission efficiency is low.However,regions with a relatively weak fuel-fired automobile industry foundation show a strong“advantage of backwardness”,and the green effect is more prominent.This means that global NEVP should be further accelerated to achieve the green effect and the goal of global carbon neutrality.
