Evaluation of Airway Obstruction at Soft Palate Level in Male Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome:Dynamic 3-Dimensional CT Imaging of Upper Airway

This study examined the dynamic characteristics of upper airway collapse at soft palate level in patients with obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome（OSAHS） by using dynamic 3-Dimensional（3-D） CT imaging.A total of 41 male patients who presented with 2 of the following symptoms,i.e.,daytime sleepiness and fatigue,frequent snoring,and apnea with witness,were diagnosed as having OSAHS.They underwent full-night polysomnography and then dynamic 3-D CT imaging of the upper airway during quiet breathing and in Muller＇s maneuver.The soft palate length（SPL）,the minimal cross-sectional area of the retropalatal region（mXSA-RP）,and the vertical distance from the hard palate to the upper posterior part of the hyoid（hhL） were compared between the two breathing states.These parameters,together with hard palate length（HPL）,were also compared between mild/moderate and severe OSAHS groups.Association of these parameters with the severity of OSAHS [as reflected by apnea hypopnea index（AHI） and the lowest saturation of blood oxygen（LSaO2）] was examined.The results showed that 31 patients had severe OSAHS,and 10 mild/moderate OSAHS.All the patients had airway obstruction at soft palate level.mXSA-RP was significantly decreased and SPL remarkably increased during Muller＇s maneuver as compared with the quiet breathing state.There were no significant differences in these airway parameters（except the position of the hyoid bone） between severe and mild/moderate OSAHS groups.And no significant correlation between these airway parameters and the severity of OSAHS was found.The position of hyoid was lower in the severe OSAHS group than in the mild/moderate OSAHS group.The patients in group with body mass index（BMI）≥26 had higher collapse ratio of mXSA-RP,greater neck circumference and smaller mXSA-RP in the Muller＇s maneuver than those in group with BMI26（P0.05 for all）.It was concluded that dynamic 3-D CT imaging could dynamically show the upper airway changes at soft palate level in OSAHS patients.All the OSAHS patients had airway obstruction of various degrees at soft palate level.But no correlation was observed between the airway change at soft palate level and the severity of OSAHS.The patients in group with BMI≥26 were more likely to develop airway obstruction at soft palate level than those with BMI26.

Painleve Analysis and Determinant Solutions of a (3+1)-Dimensional Variable-Coefficient Kadomtsev-Petviashvili Equation in Wronskian and Grammian Form

In this paper, the investigation is focused on a （3＋1）-dimensional variable-coefficient Kadomtsev- Petviashvili （vcKP） equation, which can describe the realistic nonlinear phenomena in the fluid dynamics and plasma in three spatial dimensions. In order to study the integrability property of such an equation, the Painlevé analysis is performed on it. And then, based on the truncated Painlevé expansion, the bilinear form of the （3＋1）-dimensionaJ vcKP equation is obtained under certain coefficients constraint, and its solution in the Wronskian determinant form is constructed and verified by virtue of the Wronskian technique. Besides the Wronskian determinant solution, it is shown that the （3＋1）-dimensional vcKP equation also possesses a solution in the form of the Grammian determinant.

Extended symmetry transformation of (3+1)-dimensional generalized nonlinear Schrdinger equation with variable coefficients

In this paper, the extended symmetry transformation of （3＋1）-dimensional （3D） generalized nonlinear Schrodinger （NLS） equations with variable coefficients is investigated by using the extended symmetry approach and symbolic computation. Then based on the extended symmetry, some 3D variable coefficient NLS equations are reduced to other variable coefficient NLS equations or the constant coefficient 3D NLS equation. By using these symmetry transformations, abundant exact solutions of some 3D NLS equations with distributed dispersion, nonlinearity, and gain or loss are obtained from the constant coefficient 3D NLS equation.

Lump-type solutions of a generalized Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation in(3+1)-dimensions

Through the Hirota bilinear formulation and the symbolic computation software Maple, we construct lump-type solutions for a generalized(3+1)-dimensional Kadomtsev-Petviashvili(KP) equation in three cases of the coefficients in the equation. Then the sufficient and necessary conditions to guarantee the analyticity of the resulting lump-type solutions(or the positivity of the corresponding quadratic solutions to the associated bilinear equation) are discussed. To illustrate the generality of the obtained solutions, two concrete lump-type solutions are explicitly presented, and to analyze the dynamic behaviors of the solutions specifically, the three-dimensional plots and contour profiles of these two lump-type solutions with particular choices of the involved free parameters are well displayed.

Advanced Computational Methods of Rapid and Rigorous 3-D Inversion of Airborne Electromagnetic Data

We develop a new computational method for modeling and inverting frequency domain airborne electromagnetic(EM)data.Our method is based on the contraction integral equation method for forward EM modeling and on inversion using the localized quasi-linear(LQL)approximation followed by the rigorous inversion,if necessary.The LQL inversion serves to provide a fast image of the target.These results are checked by a rigorous update of the domain electric field,allowing a more accurate calculation of the predicted data.If the accuracy is poorer than desired,rigorous inversion follows,using the resulting conductivity distribution and electric field from LQL as a starting model.The rigorous inversion iteratively solves the field and domain equations,converting the non-linear inversion into a series of linear inversions.We test this method on synthetic and field data.The results of the inversion are very encouraging with respect to both the speed and the accuracy of the algorithm,showing this is a useful tool for airborne EM interpretation.

Higher-order rogue waves with controllable fission and asymmetry localized in a(3+1)-dimensional generalized Boussinesq equation

The purpose of this paper is to report the feasibility of constructing high-order rogue waves with controllable fission and asymmetry for high-dimensional nonlinear evolution equations.Such a nonlinear model considered in this paper as the concrete example is the(3+1)-dimensional generalized Boussinesq(gB)equation,and the corresponding method is Zhaqilao’s symbolic computation approach containing two embedded parameters.It is indicated by the(3+1)-dimensional gB equation that the embedded parameters can not only control the center of the first-order rogue wave,but also control the number of the wave peaks split from higher-order rogue waves and the asymmetry of higher-order rogue waves about the coordinate axes.The main novelty of this paper is that the obtained results and findings can provide useful supplements to the method used and the controllability of higher-order rogue waves.

Multiple rational rogue waves for higher dimensional nonlinear evolution equations via symbolic computation approach

The paper investigates the multiple rogue wave solutions associated with the generalized Hirota-Satsuma-Ito(HSI)equation and the newly proposed extended(3+1)-dimensional Jimbo-Miwa(JM)equation with the help of a symbolic computation technique.By incorporating a direct variable trans-formation and utilizing Hirota’s bilinear form,multiple rogue wave structures of different orders are ob-tained for both generalized HSI and JM equation.The obtained bilinear forms of the proposed equations successfully investigate the 1st,2nd and 3rd-order rogue waves.The constructed solutions are verified by inserting them into original equations.The computations are assisted with 3D graphs to analyze the propagation dynamics of these rogue waves.Physical properties of these waves are governed by different parameters that are discussed in details.

New Bilinear B?cklund Transformation and Higher Order Rogue Waves with Controllable Center of a Generalized(3+1)-Dimensional Nonlinear Wave Equation

In this paper, we first obtain a bilinear form with small perturbation u_0 for a generalized(3+1)-dimensional nonlinear wave equation in liquid with gas bubbles. Based on that, a new bilinear B?cklund transformation which consists of four bilinear equations and involves seven arbitrary parameters is constructed. After that, by applying a new symbolic computation method, we construct the higher order rogue waves with controllable center to the generalized(3+1)-dimensional nonlinear wave equation. The rogue waves present new structure, which contain two free parametersα and β. The dynamic properties of the higher order rogue waves are demonstrated graphically. The graphs tell that the parameters α and β can control the center of the rogue waves.

Soliton Solutions, Bcklund Transformations and Lax Pair for a(3 + 1)-Dimensional Variable-Coefficient Kadomtsev–Petviashvili Equation in Fluids

Under investigation in this paper is a （3 q- 1）-dimensional variable-coefficient Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation, which describes the propagation of surface and internal water waves. By virtue of the binary Bell polynomials, symbolic computation and auxiliary independent variable, the bilinear forms, soliton solutions, Backlund transformations and Lax pair are obtained. Variable coefficients of the equation can affect the solitonic structure, when they are specially chosen, while curved and linear solitons are illustrated. Elastic collisions between/among two and three solitons are discussed, through which the solitons keep their original shapes invariant except for some phase shifts.

能散度与发射度模块在太赫兹FWTWT模拟中的应用

研制了三维全电磁粒子模拟大规模并行程序NEPTUNE3D的能散度和发射度模块,主要用于评估电子出射速度和方向分布对太赫兹折叠波导行波管(FWTWT)性能的影响。将能散度和发射度模块应用到0.22 THz的FWTWT器件粒子模拟中,结果表明:能散度主要通过改变器件束压范围,使其偏离束波互作用共振电压范围,导致器件性能下降;发射度反映电子发射角的发散,同时影响纵向与横向电子速度,电子横向速度的增加导致其更易碰撞通道内壁,使电子总数下降,导致器件性能下降;若束压保持不变,电子横向速度的增加势必导致轴向速度的减小,破坏束波同步条件,导致器件性能进一步下降。

Remodeling of living human nasal cavity under the assistance of acoustic rhinometry technique

Acoustic rhinometry could numerically describe up- per airway condition of air draft by drawing a graph plotting the distance from the nostril vs. the cross-sectional area. Some decreases on the graph correspond to the typical anatomic structures of human nasal cavity. The 3-dimensional, computing fluid dynamic model of the same person was developed based on computed tomography scans. The veracity of the CFD model was valued by contrasting the relevant areas of stenosis site between the model and the AR graph. The aim in this study is to make clear how to use an AR to help improve and enrich the CFD model with the information of graph acquired from the measurement. The combination of AR and CT can be used to establish a living human nasal cavity model with higher significant information content.

Inspired by the potential computational capability of 3-Dimensional (3D) DNA structure,this paper presents a graph structure constructed by k-armed (k = 3or 4) branched junction DNA molecules to explore the possibility of solving some intractable problems. In the proposed procedure,vertex building blocks consisting of 3,4-armed branched junction molecules are selectively used to form different graph structures. After separating these graph structures by gel electrophoresis,the connec-tivity of this graph can be determined. Furthermore,the amount of potential solutions can be reduced by a theorem of graph theory.

New Quantum Theory Explains All the Mysterious Quantum Phenomena

The photons & the quantum particles display several mysterious Quantum Phenomena which could not be explained earlier. The New Quantum Theory explains not only the long pending Wave Particle Duality but also all other mysterious Quantum Phenomena. The New Quantum Theory is based on the analogy of the atoms & the solar system and not only supplements but also completes the Quantum Theory. This work explains “how & why” a photon, an electron or quanta generates the electric & the magnetic fields of continuously varying intensities & in the changing directions to form a 3-D Electromagnetic wave. The electromagnetic fields generated by the photons/quantum particles interact with the electromagnetic fields of the mediums (conductor, semicon-ductor or insulator etc.) to display several mysterious Quantum Phenomena. These interactions are strong enough to change the spin, wavelength, amplitude & direction of the quantum particles in the medium. The spin-orbit interlocking/interactions, transverse spin, vortex spin texture & evanescent waves etc. are the results of such interactions. This work explains some of the quantum phenomena in brief so that the various Quantum Phenomena can be modified & developed for the different applications.
