The measured equation of invariance: a new concept in field computation
Computations of electromagnetic fields are based either on differential equations or on integral equations. The differential equation approach using finite difference or finite element methods results in sparse matrices, which is an advantage, but has to cover large volumes, which is a disadvantage. The integral equation approach using the method of moments (MOM) limits the mesh to the surface of the object, which is an advantage, but results in full matrices, which is a disadvantage. It is noted that the ideal case would be to reduce the finite difference type equations close to the object surface and still preserve the sparsity of the matrices. The measured equation of invariance is a new concept in field computation capable of approaching this ideal situation. The mathematics and reasonings to reach a novel computational method based on this concept are presented. It is shown that the method is robust for both convex and concave objects, is much faster than the MOM, and uses a fraction of the memory.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version
Measured equation of invariance: a new concept in field computations
Numerical computations of frequency domain field problems or elliptical partial differential equations may be based on differential equations or integral equations. The new concept of field computation presented in this paper is based on the postulate of the existence of linear equations of the discretized nodal values of the fields, different from the conventional equations, but leading to the same solutions. The postulated equations are local and invariant to excitation. It is shown how the equations can be determined by a sequence ofPeer ReviewedPostprint (published version
Dynamic Analysis of a Rotating Shaft Subject to the Double Cutting Force and Time-varying Mass Effects of the Rod
AbstractThis paper investigates the dynamic behaviors of a rotating shaft subjected to the double cutting force and time-varying mass effects. The Timoshenko beam theory is used to model the rotating shaft, and the general boundary condition is assumed as the clamped-hinged supports. This system is used to simulate the manufacture process of the double turret CNC lathes, and the mass of the rod which is reduced gradually in cutting process. The system equations of motion are derived based on the global assumed mode method, and the dynamic responses of the system are obtained by Runge-Kutta numerical method. The transformation matrix is derived to make the equation of motion completing the boundary geometric constraints. The numerical results compare the dynamic response in different moving speeds and skew angles of the cutting forces with/without the time-varying mass effects. Additionally, this paper compares the response with single cutting force and double force. The results show that the double moving force system can reduce not only the machining time but also the amplitude of shaft vibration

Remarks on Hawking radiation as tunneling from the BTZ black holes
Hawking radiation viewed as a semiclassical tunneling process from the event
horizon of the (2 + 1)-dimensional rotating BTZ black hole is carefully
reexamined by taking into account not only the energy conservation but also the
conservation of angular momentum when the effect of the emitted particle's
self-gravitation is incorporated. In contrast to previous analysis of this
issue in the literature, our result obtained here fits well to the
Kraus-Parikh-Wilczek's universal conclusion without any modification to the
Bekenstein-Hawking area-entropy formulae of the BTZ black hole.Comment: 12pages, no figure, use JHEP3.cls. Version better than published one

Les analysis on cylinder cascade flow based on energy ratio coefficient
The flow field around the cylinder cascade is widely used to
analyze the interaction of vortex shedding and the information
on heat transfer. Large eddy simulation (LES) can be used to
get the turbulent flow information in detail. The resolved largescale
structures are determined by the size of the grid, and the
turbulent vortex dissipation is modeled with a subgrid scale
model. Whereas there is no accurate criterion to provide the
subgrid scale with the physical meaning. Based on turbulent
energy ratio coefficient and numerical simulation results with
turbulent model, the subgrid was generated for the
incompressible fluid flowing around a column of cylinder
cascade with a gap-to-diameter ratio of 2. Smagorinsky-Lily
(SM) model was applied to LES analysis. The turbulent flow
information was compared with the experimental data by PIV.
Two cases with different Reynolds numbers were studied.
When the turbulent energy ratio coefficient reached to 30%-
40%, the turbulent dissipation could be captured by LES
method with less grid number. The large scale vortex
interaction behind the cylinder cascade was analyzed further. It
is verified that LES method can be used for engineering based
on the turbulent energy ratio coefficient with acceptable
computational cost.papers presented to the 12th International Conference on Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics, Costa de Sol, Spain on 11-13 July 2016
Construction and functional analysis of nattokinase-producing cucumber obtained by the CRISPR-Cas9 system
Nattokinase (NK) is effective in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease. Cucumber is rich in nutrients with low sugar content and is safe for consumption. The aim of this study was to construct a therapeutic cucumber that can express NK, which can prevent and alleviate cardiovascular diseases by consumption. Because the Bitter fruit ( Bt ) gene contributes to bitter taste but has no obvious effect on the growth and development of cucumber, so the NK-producing cucumber was constructed by replacing the Bt gene with NK by using CRISPR/Cas9. The pZHY988-Cas9-sgRNA and pX6-LHA-U6-NK-T-RHA vectors were constructed and transformed into Agrobacterium tumefaciens EHA105, which was transformed into cucumber by floral dip method. The crude extract of NK-producing cucumber had significant thrombolytic activity in vitro . In addition, treatment with the crude extract significantly delayed thrombus tail appearance, and the thrombin time of mice was much longer than that of normal mice. The degrees of coagulation and blood viscosity as well as hemorheological properties improved significantly after crude extract treatment. These findings show that NK-producing cucumber can effectively alleviate thrombosis and improve blood biochemical parameters, providing a new direction for diet therapy against cardiovascular diseases
