Dependency-based importance measures of components in mechatronic systems with complex network theory

To compensate for the limitations of previous studies,a complex network-based method is developed for determining importance measures,which combines the functional roles of the components of a mechatronic system and their topological positions.First,the dependencies among the components are well-represented and well-calculated.Second,a mechatronic system is modeled as a weighted and directional functional dependency network(FDN),in which the node weights are determined by the functional roles of components in the system and their topological positions in the complex network whereas the edge weights are represented by dependency strengths.Third,given that the PageRank algorithm cannot calculate the dependency strengths among components,an improved PageRank importance measure(IPIM)algorithm is proposed,which combines the node weights and edge weights of complex networks.IPIM also considers the importance of neighboring components.Finally,a case study is conducted to investigate the accuracy of the proposed method.Results show that the method can effectively determine the importance measures of components.

Comparison of three doses of enalapril in preventing left ventricular remodeling after acute myocardial infarction in the rat

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of high, middle and low doses of enalapril in preventing left ventricular remodeling (LVRM) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in rats, especially evaluating the efficacy of low dose enalapril. METHODS: AMI was induced by ligating the left coronary artery in 149 female SD rats. 48 hours after the procedure, the 97 surviving rats were randomized to one of the following four groups: (1) AMI controls (n = 24), (2) high-dose (10 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1), n = 25), (3) middle-dose (1 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1), n = 23), and (4) low-dose (0.1 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1), n = 25) enalapril groups. In addition, sham-operated (n = 13) and normal rats (n = 10) were randomly selected to serve as non-infarction controls. Enalapril was delivered by direct gastric gavage. After 4 weeks of therapy, hemodynamic studies were performed, then the rat hearts were fixed with 10% formalin and pathology analysis was performed. Exclusive of the dead rats and those with MI size 55%, complete experimental data were obtained from 67 rats, which were comprised of (1) AMI controls (n = 13), (2) high-dose enalapril (n = 13), (3) middle-dose enalapril (n = 12), (4) low-dose enalapril (n = 12), (5) sham-operated (n = 8) and (6) normal (n = 9) groups. RESULTS: There were no significant differences among the four AMI groups in infarction size (all P > 0.05). Compared with the sham-operated group, the left ventricular (LV) end diastolic pressure (LVEDP), volume (LVV), absolute and relative weight (LVAW, LVRW) in AMI group were all significantly increased (all P

Exponential inequalities under the sub-linear expectations with applications to laws of the iterated logarithm

Kolmogorov's exponential inequalities are basic tools for studying the strong limit theorems such as the classical laws of the iterated logarithm for both independent and dependent random variables. This paper establishes the Kolmogorov type exponential inequalities of the partial sums of independent random variables as well as negatively dependent random variables under the sub-linear expectations. As applications of the exponential inequalities, the laws of the iterated logarithm in the sense of non-additive capacities are proved for independent or negatively dependent identically distributed random variables with finite second order moments.For deriving a lower bound of an exponential inequality, a central limit theorem is also proved under the sublinear expectation for random variables with only finite variances.

Time-dependent analysis for a queue modeled by an infinite system of partial differential equations

By studying the spectrum of the underlying operator corresponding to the exhaustive-service M/G/1 queueing model with single vacations we prove that the time-dependent solution of the model strongly converges to its steady-state solution.

Temperature Dependence of Decuplet Baryon Masses from Thermal QCD Sum Rules

In the present work, the masses of the decuplet baryons at finite temperature are investigated using thermM QCD sum rules. Making use of the quark propagator at finite temperature, we caiculate the spectral functions to T8 order, and find that there are no contributions to the spectral functions at T8 order and the temperature corrections mainly come from that containing T4 ones. The calculations show very little temperature dependence of the masses below T =0.11 GeV. While above that vaJue, the masses decrease with increasing temperature. The results indicate that the hadron-quark phase transition temperature may be Tc ≥ 0.11 GeV for the decuplet bayons.

Recent progress on dense nuclear matter in skyrmion approaches

The Skyrme model provides a novel unified approach to nuclear physics. In this approach, single baryon, baryonic matter and medium-modified hadron properties are treated on the same footing. Intrinsic density dependence(IDD) reflecting the change of vacuum by compressed baryonic matter figures naturally in the approach. In this article, we review the recent progress on accessing dense nuclear matter by putting baryons treated as solitons, namely, skyrmions, on crystal lattice with accents on the implications in compact stars.

Influence of the symmetry energy on the balance energy of the directed flow

The influence of the density-dependent symmetry energy on the balance energy （Ebal） of directed flow from heavy ion collisions （HICs） at incident energies covered by INDRA and MSU experiments is studied, using the updated version of the ultra- relativistic quantum molecular dynamics （UrQMD） model, especially adapted to low-energy heavy ion collisions （HICs）. Four mass-symmetric reactions with total mass numbers between 192 and 394 are chosen for investigating the influence of the symmetry energy on the system-mass dependence of Eual. The results show that the uncertainty in the density dependence of the symmetry potential causes changes of Ebal of the order of several MeV, depending on the type of particle considered. The Ebal of neutrons from HICs is particularly sensitive to the density dependence of the symmetry potential energy, while the system-mass dependence of EbaI of Z = 1 particles is not.

On Local Nonreflecting Boundary Conditions for Time Dependent Wave Propagation

The simulation of wave phenomena in unbounded domains generally requires an artificial boundary to truncate the unbounded exterior and limit the computation to a finite region.At the artificial boundary a boundary condition is then needed,which allows the propagating waves to exit the computational domain without spurious reflection.In 1977,Engquist and Majda proposed the first hierarchy of absorbing boundary conditions,which allows a systematic reduction of spurious reflection without moving the artificial boundary farther away from the scatterer.Their pioneering work,which initiated an entire research area,is reviewed here from a modern perspective.Recent developments such as high-order local conditions and their extension to multiple scattering are also presented.Finally,the accuracy of high-order local conditions is demonstrated through numerical experiments.

An Isoratio Method to Study Free Energy and Temperature Effects in Intermediate Mass Fragments Produced in Heavy-Ion Collisions

An isoratio method, i.e., the isotopic(isotonic) ratio among three isotopes(isotones), is proposed to study the free energy and temperature effects in the intermediate mass fragments produced in heavy-ion collisions. The parameterizations for the free energy of nucleus at low temperature, which have been proposed in the framework of the density functional theory using the SKM skymre interaction, are adopted to calculate the temperature-dependent free energy of fragment. By analyzing the measured yields of fragments in the 140 A MeV ^(58),^(64) Ni +~9Be reactions,it is verified that the free energy in the isoratio is almost the same for different reactions. A temperature-dependent pairing-energy is introduced into the parameterizations for free energy, which reveals that the weakened pairing energy at the low temperature accounts for the weakened or disappearing odd-even staggering in isoratio.
