Label-Free and Real-Time Monitor of Binding and Dissociation Processes between Protein A and Swine IgG by Oblique-Incidence Reflectivity Difference Method

Life science has a need for detection methods that are label-free and real-time. In this paper, we have selected staphylococcal protein A （SPA） and swine immunoglobulin G （IgG）, and monitor the bindings between SPA and swine IgG with different concentrations, as well as the dissociations of SPA-swine IgG complex in different pH values of phosphate buffer by oblique-incidence reflectivity difference （OIRD） in a label-free and real-time fashion. We obtain the ON and OFF reaction dynamic curves corresponding to the bindings and dissociations of SPA and swine IgG. Through our analysis of the experimental results, we have been able to obtain the damping coefficients and the dissociation time of SPA and swine IgG for different pH values of the phosphate buffer. The results prove that the OIRD technique is a competing method for monitoring the dynamic processes of biomolecule interaction and achieving the quantitative information of reaction kinetics.

Analysis and modeling of alumina dissolution based on heat and mass transfer

A comprehensive heat and mass transfer model of dissolution process of non-agglomerated and agglomerated alumina particles was established in an aluminum reduction cell. An appropriate finite difference method was used to calculate the size dissolution rate, dissolution time and mass of alumina dissolved employing commercial software and custom algorithm based on the shrinking sphere assumption. The effects of some convection and thermal condition parameters on the dissolution process were studied. The calculated results show that the decrease of alumina content or the increase of alumina diffusion coefficient is beneficial for the increase of size dissolution rate and the decrease of dissolution time of non-agglomerated particles. The increase of bath superheat or alumina preheating temperature results in the increase of size dissolution rate and the decrease of dissolution time of agglomerated particles. The calculated dissolution curve of alumina（mass fraction of alumina dissolved） for a 300 k A aluminum reduction cell is in well accordance with the experimental results. The analysis shows that the dissolution process of alumina can be divided into two distinct stages： the fast dissolution stage of non-agglomerated particles and the slow dissolution stage of agglomerated particles, with the dissolution time in the order of 10 and 100 s, respectively. The agglomerated particles were identified to be the most important factor limiting the dissolution process.

Using finite difference method to simulate casting thermal stress

Thermal stress simulation can provide a scientific reference to eliminate defects such as crack,residual stress centralization and deformation etc.,caused by thermal stress during casting solidification.To study the thermal stress distribution during casting process,a unilateral thermal-stress coupling model was employed to simulate 3D casting stress using Finite Difference Method(FDM),namely all the traditional thermal-elastic-plastic equations are numerically and differentially discrete.A FDM/FDM numerical simulation system was developed to analyze temperature and stress fields during casting solidification process.Two practical verifications were carried out,and the results from simulation basically coincided with practical cases.The results indicated that the FDM/FDM stress simulation system can be used to simulate the formation of residual stress,and to predict the occurrence of hot tearing.Because heat transfer and stress analysis are all based on FDM,they can use the same FD model,which can avoid the matching process between different models,and hence reduce temperature-load transferring errors.This approach makes the simulation of fluid flow,heat transfer and stress analysis unify into one single model.

Development of Method in Precise Multibeam Acoustic Bathymetry

The sound ray tracing method can achieve higher accuracy in determining depths and plan positions with multibeam echo sounding system. In data processing, actual sound speed profile must be used in the method. However, the method is too complicated. In order to overcome the shortcoming, this paper presents a new method, the position correction method. Two situations are considered in the new method, namely, change of sound velocity keeps constant gradient in whole water column (including N layers) or in different water layer.

A review of stand basal area growth models

Growth and yield modeling has a long history in forestry. The methods of measuring the growth of stand basal area have evolved from those developed in the U.S.A. and Germany during the last century. Stand basal area modeling has progressed rapidly since the first widely used model was published by the U.S. Forest Service. Over the years, a variety of models have been developed for predicting the growth and yield of uneven/even-aged stands using stand-level approaches. The modeling methodology has not only moved from an empirical approach to a more ecological process-based approach but also accommodated a variety of techniques such as： 1） simultaneous equation methods, 2） difference models, 3） artificial neural network techniques, 4） linear/nonlinear regression models, and 5） matrix models. Empirical models using statistical methods were developed to reproduce accurately and precisely field observations. In contrast, process models have a shorter history, developed originally as research and education tools with the aim of increasing the understanding of cause and effect relationships. Empirical and process models can be married into hybrid models in which the shortcomings of both component approaches can, to some extent, be overcome. Algebraic difference forms of stand basal area models which consist of stand age, stand density and site quality can fully describe stand growth dynamics. This paper reviews the current literature regarding stand basal area models, discusses the basic types of models and their merits and outlines recent progress in modeling growth and dynamics of stand basal area. Future trends involving algebraic difference forms, good fitting variables and model types into stand basal area modeling strategies are discussed.

IUID Method-Mix: Towards a Systematic Approach for Intercultural User Interface Design (IUID)

A method-mix for intercultural user interface design (IUID) is explained and exemplified by application examples based on a hybrid approach covering cultural contexts in human-computer interaction (HCI) design using a model of culturally influenced HCI. Cultural influence on HCI is described using cultural variables for user interface design. Assumptions and empirical results regarding the influence of culture on HCI, considering the path of the information processing and the interaction style between Chinese and German users are explained based on cultural models. Subsequent indicators represent the relationship between culture and HCI (culturally imprinted by the user). Correlations adopted theoretically between cultural dimensions and variables for HCI design were investigated. These correlations represent relevant constituents of a model for culturally influenced HCI. Considerations applying this model and evidence for the proper application of the IUID method-mix are presented elucidating why and how cultural aspects play a role in HCI design and usability/UX engineering. The IUID method-mix serves to inspire HCI engineers in the requirement analysis phase as well as HCI designers in the design phase. The readers are thereby sensitized to the challenges of intercultural usability/UX engineering and intercultural HCI design and will be equipped with methodological knowledge relevant to the derivation of design recommendations for user interface design for and in their desired cultural contexts. Finally, implications for practitioners are shown, including HCI style scores and practical design recommendations, to prognosticate the effort and the expenditures for considering the cultural context in IUID.

数字经济作为技术变革与经济发展的动力源泉,借助数字技术推动生产率提升及经济结构优化,有效赋能农业发展韧性提升。基于2010—2020年中国13个粮食主产区省级面板数据,实证研究了数字经济与农业发展韧性之间的内在影响。研究发现:数字经济对农业发展韧性具有显著正向促进作用,即粮食主产区数字经济发展水平每提升1%,农业发展韧性提升0.231%;数字经济对农业发展韧性的影响存在区域异质性,东部地区农业发展韧性在数字经济发展中的获益能力强于中部和北部;数字经济对粮食主产区农业发展韧性存在“边际效应”递增的非线性影响,当数字经济水平高于门槛值0.540时,其对农业发展韧性的作用得到显著提升。对此,需加大数字基础设施和数字平台建设投资力度,推动数字经济与农业系统深度融合;提升农户数字技能与文化素养,加强“数字+农业”人才队伍建设;各主产区应结合自身资源禀赋,因地制宜发展数字经济。

考虑参数空间差异的复合式滑坡推力计算分析

由于复合式滑坡不同滑区同一岩土计算参数数值存在差异性,导致滑坡推力大小判别难度加大。根据复合式滑坡破坏模式,概化构建滑坡地质模型,在此基础上建立滑坡物理力学模型,并对各区参数进行理论分析。根据滑坡失稳特征以及前人对复合式滑坡演化阶段划分的研究,将滑坡演化过程划分为前后裂隙开裂、前后滑带局部软化、前后滑带扩展、中部滑带软化、边坡整体失稳5个阶段,基于传递系数法和静力平衡条件构建不同演化阶段下的滑坡推力计算式。以汉巴南铁路某复合式滑坡为例,揭示了滑坡推力随水平距离增加的变化规律,并将计算结果与不考虑不同滑区同一岩土计算参数数值差异得出的计算结果进行对比分析。研究结果表明:1)在计算复合式滑坡推力时,考虑不同滑区同一岩土计算参数数值差异性的影响,其计算结果更加准确,规避因单一取值而导致计算推力不合理等问题。2)根据复合式滑坡不同演化阶段下的推力变化规律,在滑坡初期应以推移区和牵引区加固为主,当中部锁固区开始滑动,应以中部锁固区加固为主,同时也要加强推移区和牵引区的加固。3)在识别复合式滑坡演化阶段的基础上,根据此阶段构建的滑坡推力计算式得出推力空间变化规律,从而可提出较为合理的防治措施。

基于MR混合现实的足球机器人目标跟踪仿真

机器人跟踪足球时,由于目标具有较强的运动随机性,且较小的目标尺度增大了跟踪框的自适应跟踪难度,目标跟踪时会将很多背景信息包含在内,导致目标模型的更新错误。为此,提出基于MR混合现实的足球机器人目标跟踪方法。构建MR混合现实平台,令足球机器人在虚拟现实场景下完成人机交互,在保证目标跟踪安全性的同时提升目标跟踪性能;采用帧差法获取目标模型,利用投影法对二值图像投影,并对差分图像滤波,以此获取足球机器人在目标模板区域及候选目标区域中的直方图。基于此,更新足球机器人目标模型,实现基于MR混合现实的足球机器人目标跟踪。实验结果表明,当跟踪误差阈值为0.8mm时,研究方法的目标跟踪准确率和成功率均可达95%以上,平均耗时为55.17ms。当足球目标出现遮挡问题时,该方法仍能完成高精度跟踪。
