Simple Design Criterion for High-Intensity Hadron Linacs

Abstract A simple procedure is established to optimize fundamental design parameters of a high-intensity hadron linac where interparticle Coulomb interaction plays a crucial role. Based on the recently proposed semi-empirical resonance condition, a stability map is constructed which reveals potentially dangerous operating regions in tune space. The map is shown to be consistent with numerical data obtained from more complicated approaches. The effectiveness of the new design scheme is demonstrated through systematic particle-in-cell simulations assuming the most typical structure of an Alvarez-type drift tube linac. The present results suggest that the so-called equipartitioning condition, which has often been taken very seriously in high-intensity linac designs, does not need to be met to guarantee the best machine performance. The basic design concept described here can be applied not only to linacs but also to circular machines.

Computational synthesis of wheeled vehicles via multi-layer topology optimization

In current engineering practice, computer-aided design (CAD) tools play a key role in the design and fabrication of most mechanical systems, including the design of most vehicles. This software tends to rely heavily on human designers to provide the basic design concept, with the software being used to computationally render an existing design, or to perform modifications to a design to achieve incremental improvements in performance. However, an emerging class of computational methods, known as topology optimization methods, offers the potential for true black box computational design. Under this general framework, practitioners provide the algorithm with the constitutive properties of the design materials, and the mechanical function being designed for (e.g. maximum stiffness under a given loading condition), and the algorithm autonomously generates a description of the corresponding structure. With some exceptions, existing topology optimization methods are limited to generating static, single-body designs. In this study, we present a novel method that builds upon the current state of the art by combining multiple collocated planar design domains to achieve automated computational synthesis of multi-body wheeled vehicles. This capability represents an important step on the path toward automated computational design of increasingly complex, innovative and impactful mechanical systems.

Designing of some novel Pd(II), Ni(II) and Fe(III) complexes: Synthesis, structural elucidation, biomedical applications, DFT and docking approaches against Covid-19

A new class of bio-active Pd(II), Ni(II) and Fe(III) complexes [Pd(L)(COOCH3)2](H2O)2, [Ni(L)2(NO3)2](H2O), and [Fe(L)2(NO3)2](NO3)(H2O)2 have been constituted by utilizing the guanidine-based ligand (BSG) = N-Benzothiazol-2-yl-guanidine. The micro-analytical results of the structural characteristics were validated by UV-Visible, FT-IR, 1H-13C NMR, elemental analysis, molar conductance, TGA, mass spectral, XRD data and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The Ni(II) and Fe(III) metal chelates depicted an octahedral geometry, while the Pd(II) metal chelate display an square planar geometry. The optimized molecular structures have been scrutinized by DFT method. In vitro anticancer activities of the BSG, Pd(II), Ni(II) and Fe(III) metal chelates were evaluated on HCT-116 colon cancer cells, HepG-2 hepatic cellular carcinoma cells, and MCF-7 breast carcinoma cells and biocompatibility characteristics were determined by using the Sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay. According to the findings of the study, Pd(II) metal chelates showed considerable anticancer properties in the breast carcinoma MCF-7 cancer cells. The antioxidant capacities of metal complexes were validated using the DPPH free radical scavenging method. The complexes have good antioxidant activities with the DPPH radical. Also, the synthesized products were investigated for their antibacterial and antifungal activities against bacterial organisms including (S. marcescence, M. luteus, and E. coli) in addition to fungi (A. flavus, C. candidum, and F. oxysporum). Among all the evaluated compounds, it was found that BSGPd possessed remarkable antibacterial activity toward M. luteus and antifungal activity toward G. candidum. The demonstrated acceptable bioactivities for several of these compounds support the basic design concept of integrating essential bioactive patterns for potential therapeutic benefit. Furthermore, a molecular docking (an in silico approach) study was performed with 7BQY to check the activity of the investigated compounds against COVID-19

어포던스디자인 개념을 적용한 무인 단말기 사용 편의성 평가

The remarkable development of information and communication technology is moving toward the pursuit of digital automation of everything throughout society. However, the elderly have various difficulties in using digital devices due to physical, cognitive, and psychological changes caused by aging. Digital kiosks, which are common to society as a whole, should be designed so that users can naturally induce behavior and achieve their purpose even if they do not understand how to use and operate the device to achieve their purpose.
 This study attempted to evaluate the convenience of using digital kiosks for the elderly using affordance, constraint, mapping, and feedback, which are four basic concepts of affordance design that value the user's behavioral perspective. To achieve the purpose of the study, we actually used digital kiosks in community centers, subways, and commercial spaces for elderly experimental participants. Participants used community centers and subway devices relatively easily, but digital kiosks in commercial spaces had difficulty in using them. When participants were cognitively able to guess or know how to use the device, it was found that not only self-efficacy but also confidence in using the device was formed. Through this experimental process, the psychological factors felt during the post-occupancy evaluation and use of elderly participants were summarized.
 Through this study, it is hoped that a plan to improve the design of digital kiosks considering the physical, cognitive, and psychological characteristics of the elderly will be sought.

Construction of Interactive Virtual Reality Simulation Digital Media System Based on Cross-Media Resources.

The combination of video and music is the most typical combination form in interactive multimedia works, which focuses on the audio-visual presentation characteristics of interactive art. Since both creative practice and theoretical research are still in the development stage, we focus on the creation of audio-visual integration in interactive multimedia works. Theoretical achievements are still very rare, and the guidance of creation theory plays an important role in the improvement of the aesthetic level of works. Therefore, for the development of interactive multimedia works creation, creating a new audio-visual relationship research path has important theoretical value and application value. It also has a certain historical significance for promoting the maturity of this art form. Through interactive virtual reality technology, this paper conducts an in-depth discussion on the simulation of digital media system across media resources. It is more suitable for the user's preference than the PC machine side. From technical means to artistic aesthetic characteristics and practical application, the application field and industry influence of digital media art carried by virtual reality are expounded, and the problems and solutions faced at this stage are proposed. By analyzing the application of virtual reality aesthetics in interaction design, the relationship between the visual level and the experience level of virtual reality aesthetics is discussed. Starting from the basic concepts of virtual reality aesthetics and interaction design, this paper analyzes the virtual reality space architecture and aesthetic dimension of interaction design in the era of artificial intelligence, and the value of virtual reality aesthetics in interaction design. Most interactive multimedia works rely on the open programming environment and have highly open creation tools to realize cross-media creation. The interactive integration of multimedia art and visual communication is the trend in design development. It follows the law of formal beauty and uses visual language to guide the content. Visual communication adapts to the needs of multiplatform media communication, adds multimedia art elements, and promotes the integration of scientific and technological progress and artistic development.

Design and implementation of environmental design based on new energy technology

In recent years, China’s new energy industry has developed rapidly. The role of new energy in promoting the economy is also becoming more and more obvious. Over time, the world’s energy structure will undergo earth-shaking changes. This paper aims to study how to conduct research on environmental design based on new energy technologies. This paper presents the basic concepts of new energy technology and environmental design. The experimental results of this paper show that although the energy consumption of traditional environmental art design is not increasing all the time, the general trend is rising. From about 65% at the beginning to about 90% at the end, it shows that the energy consumption generated by traditional environmental art design is very huge. This also leads to increased environmental design costs and damage to the environment. The overall energy consumption of environmental art design based on new energy technology is only between 20% and 30%. Whether it is viewed from the perspective of the sustainable development of the economy and society and the protection of the earth’s ecological environment on which human beings depend, or the practical energy supply for some special purposes, the development of new energy is of great strategic significance. This shows that the new energy technology saves a lot of cost for environmental art design, and has little damage to the environment. It can be seen that it is very meaningful to apply new energy technology to environmental design.
