High temperature and strain-rate response of AA2124-SiC metal matrix composites

This paper presents the results of the study of the dynamic impact behaviour of the AA2124-SiC Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) material with different particle reinforcement sizes and qualities using a compressive Split-Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) apparatus. Mechanical tests were performed at strain rates 1000 s−1, 2000 s−1, and 3000 s−1 and at temperatures of room temperature (25 °C), 100 °C and 200 °C. Microstructural analyses were carried out on the samples pre and post-compression experiments to study the fracture characteristics and mechanisms of the MMC materials. The flow stress-strain, strain rate, temperature effects and deformation mechanism were investigated. The backscattered electron images show that a higher strain rate of deformation induces the formation of denser and smaller grain size of CuAl2 precipitates, especially in composites with smaller SiC particle sizes. Temperature has posed a minor effect on the microstructural change. Heating the samples close to a solution treatment temperature, and then followed by an air quenching has resulted in a fine dispersion of CuAl2 precipitates, as well as a high saturation for the materials with a higher volumetric fraction of SiC reinforcement. The SHPB compression results reveal that the 225XF material has developed the highest stress among all materials. For materials with a higher volumetric fraction of SiC reinforcement (225XE and 225XF), cracks and failures have appeared in the samples during high strain rate and high-temperature compression experiments, which is believed to be caused by the increased brittleness of the material as a result of intensified oxide phases.

Quantitative influence and performance analysis of virtual reality laparoscopic surgical training system

BackgroundVirtual reality (VR) surgery training has become a trend in clinical education. Many research papers validate the effectiveness of VR-based surgical simulators in training medical students. However, most existing articles employ subjective methods to study the residents’ surgical skills improvement. Few of them investigate how to improve the surgery skills on specific dimensions substantially.MethodsOur paper resorts to physiological approaches to objectively study the quantitative influence and performance analysis of VR laparoscopic surgical training system for medical students. Fifty-one participants were recruited from a pool of medical students. They conducted four pre and post experiments in the training box. They were trained on VR-based laparoscopic surgery simulators (VRLS) in the middle of pre and post experiments. Their operation and physiological data (heart rate and electroencephalogram) are recorded during the pre and post experiments. The physiological data is used to compute cognitive load and flow experience quantitatively. Senior surgeons graded their performance using newly designed hybrid standards for fundamental tasks and Global operative assessment of laparoscopic skills (GOALS) standards for colon resection tasks. Finally, the participants were required to fill the questionnaires about their cognitive load and flow experience.ResultsAfter training on VRLS, the time of the experimental group to complete the same task could drop sharply (p < 0.01). The performance scores are enhanced significantly (p < 0.01). The performance and cognitive load computed from EEG are negatively correlated (p < 0.05).ConclusionThe results show that the VRLS could highly improve medical students' performance and enable the participants to obtain flow experience with a lower cognitive load. Participants' performance is negatively correlated with cognitive load through quantitative physiological analysis. This might provide a new way of assessing skill acquirement.

Gearbox fault diagnosis through quantum particle swarm optimization algorithm and kernel extreme learning machine

Gearbox is the key component of mechanical transmission system. Accurate fault diagnosis of gearbox is of great significance to ensure the operation of rotating machinery. Based on the comprehensive simulation test-bed in the laboratory, a gearbox fault diagnosis method based on QPSO-KELM is proposed. Firstly, the fault pre planting experiments of gear fault, bearing fault and gear bearing mixed fault are carried out on the comprehensive simulation test-bed. Then, the vibration signals collected are preprocessed by TSA to eliminate noise. The time domain, frequency domain and NASA feature parameters of the preprocessed signals are taken as training samples and test samples of QPSO-KELM. The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively solve the problem of gearbox fault pattern recognition, and the fault diagnosis accuracy is higher than traditional methods, so the research has certain reference significance and engineering application value.

Tolerance of grain sorghum to PRE- and POST-applied photosystem II–inhibiting herbicides

AbstractAtrazine offers growers a reliable option to control a broad spectrum of weeds in grain sorghum production systems when applied PRE or POST. However, because of the extensive use of atrazine in grain sorghum and corn, it has been found in groundwater in the United States. Given this issue, field experiments were conducted in 2017 and 2018 in Fayetteville and Marianna, Arkansas, to explore the tolerance of grain sorghum to applications of assorted photosystem II (PSII)-inhibiting herbicides in combination with S-metolachlor (PRE and POST) or mesotrione (POST only) as atrazine replacements. All experiments were designed as a factorial, randomized complete block; the two factors were (1) PSII herbicide and (2) the herbicide added to create the mixture. The PSII herbicides were prometryn, ametryn, simazine, fluometuron, metribuzin, linuron, diuron, atrazine, and propazine. The second factor consisted of either no additional herbicide, S-metolachlor, or mesotrione; however, mesotrione was excluded in the PRE experiments. Crop injury estimates, height, and yield data were collected or calculated in both studies. In the PRE study, injury was less than 10% for all treatments except those containing simazine, which caused 11% injury 28 d after application (DAA). Averaged over PSII herbicide, S-metolachlor–containing treatments caused 7% injury at 14 and 28 DAA. Grain sorghum in atrazine-containing treatments yielded 97% of the nontreated. Grain sorghum receiving other herbicide treatments had significant yield loss due to crop injury, compared with atrazine-containing treatments. In the POST study, ametryn- and prometryn-containing treatments were more injurious than all other treatments 14 DAA. Grain sorghum yield in all POST treatments was comparable to atrazine, except prometryn plus mesotrione, which was 65% of the nontreated. More herbicides should be evaluated to find a comparable fit to atrazine when applied PRE in grain sorghum. However, when applied POST, diuron, fluometuron, linuron, metribuzin, propazine, and simazine have some potential to replace atrazine in terms of crop tolerance and should be further tested as part of a weed control program across a greater range of environments.

Membrane Association of the Intrinsically Disordered N-Terminal Region of ChiZ

Multiple proteins including ChiZ that comprise the cell division machinery (divisome) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb; causative agent of tuberculosis) contain disordered regions, often enriched in cationic residues. Given the highly anionic lipid composition, membrane association of Mtb divisome proteins may be expected to play important roles in cell division, a process with implications for both pathogenesis and drug resistance. Here we combined NMR spectroscopy and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to characterize the membrane association of ChiZ. The 165-residue ChiZ consists of a disordered cytoplasmic N-terminal region (NT; residues 1-64), a transmembrane helix (TM; residues 64-86), and a periplasmic LysM domain (residues 114-165). 1H-15N HSQC spectra showed that NT associated only with highly anionic membranes (7:3 POPG/POPE liposomes), with terminal residues remaining dynamic. 13C-13C INEPT and CP experiments further revealed that most residues, but not some arginines, were dynamic when NT was membrane-bound. PRE experiments indicated that arginines strongly interacted with lipids, both in NT and in full-length ChiZ. Extensive MD simulations found that not all arginines interacted with membranes to the same extent. NT was anchored to membranes in the midsection by Arg37, forming on average 0.93 hydrogen bonds (HBs); arginines forming a least 0.5 HBs extended upstream to Arg33 and downstream to Arg49. When tethered to membranes by TM, the above pattern was largely preserved, except now the TM-proximal Arg62 formed 1.47 HBs. Overall, the second half of NT is more adaptive to membrane association, becoming more compact, whereas the first half is more autonomous. This difference is largely attributable to the exclusive occurrence of anionic residues in the first half of the NT sequence. These insights into sequence-conformation-interaction relations have broad significance, as numerous membrane proteins may involve membrane association of disordered regions in their functional processes.

Mental, Social-Psychological Stimulation and Nutritional Suplementation Affects Stunting Incidence among Children in Indonesia

Stunting is a public health problem regarding nutritional status that is diagnosed through a long body based on a standard deviation of minus two. One effort that can be done by families in overcoming the problem of stunting is through optimization of Mental Stimulation, Nutrition Supplementation and Social Psychological Stimulation (MeNu SoP). The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Mental Stimulation, Nutritional Supplementation and Social Psychological Stimulation on the incidence of stunting in children. The study design used quasi pre and post test experiments without control groups. The number of research samples as many as 40 respondents were selected using cluster sampling techniques. The results showed significant changes in the variable Mental Stimulation before and after the intervention (p value = 0,000), Nutritional Supplementation before and after the intervention (p value = 0,000), Social Psychological Stimulation (p value = 0,000), and anthropometric status before and After the intervention (p value = 0,000). The application of MeNu SoP can be used by families, nurses and other health workers to improve the status of anthropometric toddlers with stunting.

Tolerance of corn to PRE- and POST-applied photosystem II–inhibiting herbicides

AbstractWeed control in corn traditionally has relied on atrazine as a foundational tool to control problematic weeds. However, the recent discovery of atrazine in aquifers and other water sources increases the likelihood of more strict restrictions on its use. Field-based research trials to find atrazine alternatives were conducted in 2017 and 2018 in Fayetteville, AR, by testing the tolerance of corn to PRE and POST applications of different photosystem II (PSII) inhibitors alone or in combination with mesotrione or S-metolachlor. All experiments were designed as a two-factor factorial, randomized complete block, with the two factors being (1) PSII-inhibiting herbicide and (2) the herbicide added to create the mixture. The PSII-inhibiting herbicides were prometryn, ametryn, simazine, fluometuron, metribuzin, linuron, diuron, atrazine, and propazine. The second factor consisted of either no additional herbicide, S-metolachlor, or mesotrione. Treatments were applied immediately after planting in the PRE experiments and to 30-cm–tall corn for the POST experiments. For the PRE study, low levels of injury (&lt;15%) were observed at 14 and 28 d after application and corn height was negatively affected by the PSII-inhibiting herbicide applied. PRE-applied fluometuron- and ametryn-containing treatments consistently caused injury to corn, often exceeding 5%. Because of low injury levels caused by all treatments, crop density and yield did not differ from that of the nontreated plants. For the POST study, crop injury, relative height, and relative yield were affected by PSII-inhibiting herbicide and the herbicide added. Ametryn-, diuron-, linuron-, propazine-, and prometryn-containing treatments caused at least 25% injury to corn in at least 1 site-year. All PSII-inhibiting herbicides, except metribuzin and simazine when applied alone, caused yield loss in corn when compared with atrazine alone. Diuron-, linuron-, metribuzin-, and simazine-containing treatments applied PRE and metribuzin- and simazine-containing treatments applied POST should be investigated further as atrazine replacements.

Experimental and Computational Characterization of the Conformational Ensemble and Interaction Motifs of Chiz N-Terminal Intrinsically Disordered Region

Cell division of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is crucial for the pathogenesis of tuberculosis. This process is mediated by the divisome, a multi-component, dynamic complex anchored by transmembrane proteins. One such protein is ChiZ, which contains a single transmembrane helix preceded by a 64-residue N-terminal intrinsically disordered region (IDR). We have characterized the conformational ensemble and membrane interactions of the ChiZ IDR by a variety of experimental techniques, including small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and solution and solid-state NMR. 2D 1H-13C INEPT and PRE experiments suggest that the N-terminal IDR of ChiZ remains dynamic in the presence of liposomes, and interactions with the lipid membrane are mediated by arginine residues. To help interpret these data with atomistic details, we have carried out multiple molecular dynamics (MD) simulations in water using several force fields tailored for disordered proteins. The best agreement with SAXS, chemical shift, and NMR relaxation data was obtained by AMBER14SB/Tip4pD, followed closely by AMBER03ws/Tip4p2005s. In the MD simulations, the IDR transiently populated helices, especially in the N-terminal half, including residues 11-15, 19-22, and 28-32. This result explains the lower amide proton exchange rates in the N-terminal half of the IDR observed by solution NMR. Simulations in the presence of a lipid bilayer, in line with the solid-state NMR data, showed multiple arginine residues interacting with the membrane, where any one arginine may engage 2 or 3 lipid headgroups at once. Ongoing work aims to determine the dominant conformations of the full-length ChiZ in the membrane environment.

Upper body sweat mapping provides evidence of relative sweat redistribution towards the periphery following hot-dry heat acclimation

ABSTRACTPurpose: Produce a detailed upper-body sweat map and evaluate changes in gross and regional sweating rates (RSR) and distribution following heat acclimation (HA). Methods: Six males (25 ± 4 yrs) completed six consecutive HA days (45°C, 20% rh) requiring 90 minutes intermittent exercise to maintain a 1.4°C rectal temperature (Tre) rise. Pre- and post-HA upper-body RSR were measured at 55% (Intensity-1; I1) and 75% VO2 max (Intensity-2; I2) using a modified absorbent technique. Results: From day one to six of HA, work rate increased (n.s.), heart rate, Tre, and skin temperature were similar, and gross sweat loss (GSL) increased (P < 0.001). During pre and post-HA experiments, relative workloads were similar (Pre-I1 54 ± 3, Post-I1 57 ± 5%VO2max; Pre-I2 73 ± 4, Post-I2 76 ± 7%VO2max). Post-HA GSL was significantly higher (Pre 449 ± 90 g.m−2 h−1, Post 546 g.m−2 h−1; P < 0.01). Highest RSR were observed on the central back both pre and post-HA at I1 (pre 854 ± 269 post 1178 ± 402g.m−2 h−1) and I2 (pre 1221 ± 351 post 1772 ± 396 g.m−2 h−1). Absolute RSR increased significantly in 12 (I1) to 14 (I2) of the 17 regions. Ratio data indicated significant post-HA relative RSR redistribution, with decreased relative contributions to whole-body sweating on the back, chest staying the same and arms increasing. Conclusions: Hot-dry HA significantly increased GSL in aerobically trained males at I2. Absolute RSR significantly increased in I1 and I2, with a preferential relative redistribution towards the periphery of the upper-body.

Chemical Management of Broadleaf Buttonweed and Brazilian Pusley in Different Application Methods

ABSTRACT: Increased use of glyphosate in transgenic soybean areas has selected resistant and tolerant weed species. The aim of this study was to evaluate chemical management strategies for controlling Borreria latifolia and Richardia brasiliensis at pre-emergence (Pre), early post-emergence (Poste) and late post-emergence (Postl). Six experiments were carried out in a completely randomized design with four replicates per treatment in the Pre experiments and three in the Poste and Postl experiments, for each of the species. In the Pre experiments, tests were performed with herbicides imazethapyr, sulfentrazone, chlorimuron, diclosulam, S-metolachlor and saflufenacil. In the Poste experiments, seedlings were sprayed with herbicides bentazon, fomesafen, lactofen, flumioxazin and glyphosate. In Postl experiments, adult plants received glyphosate application associated with herbicides 2,4-D, carfentrazone, imazethapyr, flumiclorac, flumioxazin, sulfentrazone, chlorimuron, saflufenacil and glufosinate, plus three sequential applications with glyphosate only and paraquat/diuron. In the experiments, there was a control treatment without application of herbicides. In the Pre experiments, the plants established at 14 and 28 days after application (DAA) were evaluated. In the Poste and Postl experiments, shoot dry matter evaluation and visual control were performed at 14 and 28 DAA. The herbicides sulfentrazone, S-metolachlor and saflufenacil suppressed the emergence of both B. latifolia as R. brasiliensis; chlorimuron-ethyl and diclosulam were effective only on R. brasiliensis. In Poste, fomesafen, lactofen and flumioxazin reached levels of control over 90% of plants of both species. In Postl, glyphosate associated with carfentrazone, flumiclorac, flumioxazin, chlorimuron-ethyl, saflufenacil, glufosinate, and sequential applications of glyphosate/glyphosate, glyphosate/paraquat+diuron, glyphosate+2,4-D/paraquat+diuron reached levels control higher than 95%.
