Herein, we performed whole genome comparative analysis of 16 Diptera genomes, including four mosquitoes and 12 Drosophilae. We found more than 540 000 constraint elements （CEs） in the Diptera genome, with the majority found in the intergenic, coding and intronic regions. Accelerated elements （AEs） identified in mosquitoes were mostly in the proteincoding regions （〉93%）, which differs from vertebrates in genomic distribution. Some genes functionally enriched in blood digestion, body temperature regulation and insecticide resistance showed rapid evolution not only in the lineage of the recent common ancestor of mosquitoes （RCAM）, but also in some mosquito lineages. This may be associated with lineage-specific traits and/or adaptations in comparison with other insects. Our findings revealed that although universally fast evolution acted on biological systems in RCAM, such as hematophagy, same adaptations also appear to have occurred through distinct degrees of evolution in different mosquito species, enabling them to be successful blood feeders in different environments.展开更多

This process is an advanced method to the mathematical description of a system including an influence of a mass unbalance and a crack on the rotor shaft. As the first step, the shaft is physically modeled with a finite element method and the dynamic mathematical model is derived by using the Hamilton principle;thus, the system is represented by various subsystems. The equation of motion of a shaft with a mass unbalance and a crack is established by adapting the local mass unbalance and stiffness change through breathing and gaping from the existence of a crack. This is a reference system for the given system. Based on a fictitious model for transient behavior induced from vibration phenomena measured at the bearings, an elementary estimator is designed for the safety control and detection of a mass unbalance on the shaft. Using the state estimator, a bank of an estimator is established to get the diagnosis and the system data for a controller.展开更多

In the investigation, the adjoint technology, penalty method and augmented Lagrangian method are used in constraint optimization field to minimize the defined constraint objective functions. The results of the numerical experiments show that the optimal solutions are obtained if the functions reach the minima. VDA with constraint conditions controlling the growth of gravity oscillations is efficient to eliminate perturbation and produces optimal initial field. It seems that this method can also be applied to the problem in numerical weather prediction.

The traditional chair is difficult to move to different working locations due to its large size, heavy weight (~5 - 7 kg) and rigid structure and thus, they are inappropriate for workplaces where enough space is not available. Flexible wearable chair has a gross weight of 3 kg as it utilizes light-weight aluminium alloy members. Unlike the traditional chair, it consists of kinematic pairs which enable taking halts between continuous movements at any working position and thus, it is capable of reducing the risk of the physical musculoskeletal disorder substantially among workers. The objective of this paper is to focus on the mechanical design and finite element analysis (FEA) of the mechanism using ANSYS<sup>®</sup> software. In the present work, all the parts of the mechanism are designed under static load condition. The results of the analysis indicate that flexible wearable chair satisfies equilibrium and stability criterion and is capable of reducing fatigue during working in an assembly line/factory.展开更多

Cobalt-gradient structure was introduced to the surface zone of the buttons by carburizing process. Finite element method and XRD measurement were used to decide the distribution of thermal residual stress. Constitutive parameters were determined by constraint factor. Numerical results show that residual stresses of gradient buttons mainly concentrate in cobalt-gradient zone. There is compressive stress in the surface zone and tensile stress in the cobalt-rich zone. The maximum value of surface compressive stress is 180 MPa for WC-6Co cemented carbides. And the numerical results agree with the results of XRD measurement.展开更多
