However, when the current is small, a nonmonotonic phenomenon for the horizontal motion is found. Namely, the velocity of the horizontal motion firstly decreases and then increases with the increase of the PMA. We find that the reason for this is that the PMA can firstly increase and then decrease the confining force induced by the confining potential energy. In addition, the PMA always enhances the driving force induced by the current.展开更多

We hypothesized that the benefit provided by the reperfusion of left anterior descending (LAD) territories and the biological angiogenetic drive triggered by the revascularization could translate in a global improvement in ventricular contractility, not restricted to the grafted area. Methods High-risk patients with multivessel coronary artery disease and preoperative wall motion abnormalities were retrospectively analyzed to compare outcomes and regional ventricular function of those who received optimal medical therapy (OMT) versus those who underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) and received an incomplete myocardial revascularization using left internal mammary artery (LIMA) on LAD (OPCABG group). From January 2007 to December 2014, 206 patients (OMT, n = 136, OPCABG, n = 70) were propensity-score matched to have 70 matched pairs. Variables included in propensity score analyses were ejection fraction (EF), left ventricular end diastolic volume (LVEDVi), EuroSCORE II. Primary endpoint was the variation in the global wall motion score index (AWMSI) as evaluated by transthoracic echocardiography. Follow up was completed at 3 years from surgery or hospital discharge. Results Regional analysis of ventricular function revealed a regional WMSI improvement in the OPCABG group not only for LAD territories but also for non-LAD regions, associated with a reduction in the negative left ventricular ischemic remodeling, compared to patients discharged in optimal medical therapy. Global AWMSI was negative in OPCABG group (-3.4 ± 2.8%) and positive in the OMT group (5.9 ± 3.1%), indicating a better wall motion score for OPCAB patients. Surprisingly, regional WMSI improved also in non-grafted territories in the off-pump CABG group with a delta value of -3.7 ± 5.3% for left circumflex artery (LCX) area and -3.5 ± 5.4% for right coronary artery (RCA) area. Conclusions In patients with multivessel coronary artery disease, LIMA-to-LAD grafting is associated with an improvement in the WMSI involving also the surrounding non-LAD ungrafted segments and with the attenuation of negative global and regional ischemic ventricular remodeling.展开更多

The dependency of velocity on current density is square root which degenerates into linear if the current is much higher than the critical value. The theory result is consistent with several previous experiments and also can explain the change of critical current in the presence of temperature. The role of temperature playing in the dynamics of domain wall motion is also discussed. The phase transition theory in terms of current density is employed to explain the critical behavior of domain wall motion.展开更多

Cells were modeled as viscous-fluid-filled capsules surrounded by hyper-elastic membranes with negligible thickness. The numerical results show that with the increase of hematocrit, the near-wall approaching of platelets is enhanced, with which platelets exhibit larger deformation and orientation angle of its near-wall tank-treading motion, and the lateral force pushing platelets to the wall is increased with larger fluctuation amplitude. Meanwhile the near-wall approaching is reduced by increasing the stiffness of erythrocytes.展开更多

In the present paper, the hull plate load subjected to underwater shock wave is investigated based onwave motion theories; in addition, the experimental study of the hull plate load is carried out. According to the theoreticalanalysis of the hull plate pressure, we find that the hull plate pressure oscillates repeatedly and decays rapidly with timepassing, the maximum hull plate pressure is 2/(1+n) times the maximum free field pressure, where n is the ratio ofimpedance, and the impulse is much smaller than the free field impulse. Compared with the experimental study, thetheoretical results agree well with the experimental data.展开更多

Numerica...A boundary integral method was developed for simulating the motion and deformation of a viscous drop in an axisymmetric ambient Stokes flow near a rigid wall and for direct calculating the stress on the wall. Numerical experiments by the method were performed for different initial stand-off distances of the drop to the wall, viscosity ratios, combined surface tension and buoyancy parameters and ambient flow parameters. Numerical results show that due to the action of ambient flow and buoyancy the drop is compressed and stretched respectively in axial and radial directions when time goes. When the ambient flow action is weaker than that of the buoyancy the drop raises and bends upward and the stress on the wall induced by drop motion decreases when time advances. When the ambient flow action is stronger than that of the buoyancy the drop descends and becomes flatter and flatter as time goes. In this case when the initial stand-off distance is large the stress on the wall increases as the drop evolutes but when the stand-off distance is small the stress on the wall decreases as a result of combined effects of ambient flow, buoyancy and the stronger wall action to the flow. The action of the stress on the wall induced by drop motion is restricted in an area near the symmetric axis, which increases when the initial stand-off distance increases. When the initial stand-off distance increases the stress induced by drop motion decreases substantially. The surface tension effects resist the deformation and smooth the profile of the drop surfaces. The drop viscosity will reduce the deformation and migration of the drop.展开更多

The fault plane of the source is divided into a number of sub-sources, the whole moment magnitude is also divided into more sub-events. The Fourier spectrum of ground motion caused by a sub-event in given sub-source, then can be derived by means of taking the point source spectrum, attenuation with distance, energy dissipation, and near surface effect, into account. A time history is synthesized from this amplitude spectrum and a random phase spectrum, and being combined with an envelope function. The ground motion is worked out by superposition of all time histories from each sub-event in each sub-source, with time lags determining by the differences between the triggering times of sub-events and distances of the sub-sources. From the example of simulations at 21 near field points in a scenario earthquake with 4 dip angles of the fault plane, it is illustrated that the procedure can describe the rupture directivity and hanging wall effect very well. To validate the procedure, the response spectra and time histories recorded at three near fault stations MCN, LV3 and PCD during the Northridge earthquake in 1994, are compared with the simulated ones.展开更多
