Evaluation and optimization of meshless methods to estimation of the 3D-stress intensity factors in mode I–III for fatigue life prediction cracked shaft under uni and multi-axial cyclic loading

In this research, in order to estimate 3D-Stress Intensity Factors in mode I–III, fatigue crack growth and fatigue life prediction of a cracked shaft under various cyclic loading, meshless methods are evaluated and the most appropriate method is selected. For better results, the Base Functions (BFs) are first identified and their performance and efficiency are compared with each other. In addition, while enriching the BFs in all methods and study the effect of increasing the number of sentences of Polynomial-BFs (m = 4, 7,10) and their Linearity or Quadraticity in the accuracy of calculations, two sets of Extend-Enriched-RBFs including the Multi-Quadrics and Gaussian RBFs are used in MQ-RPIM and EXP-RPIM methods. To optimize the shape parameters in the RPIM method and determine the Penalty Factor in the MLPG method, Uni and Multi-objective PSO algorithm was used. Then, a shaft with an initial semi-elliptic surface crack as a 3D-meshless domain for discretizing the weak differential equations was selected and modeled under a fixed latitude tensile, bending, and torsional cyclic loads. Changing the standard values of the shape parameters and estimating their optimal values by the PSO algorithm and comparison of findings with the results of Experimental, MLPG, PIM, FEM, and XFEM methods, has led to the best answer from the applied methods for calculation of; displacement, strain and stress fields, and the SIFs in Mode I–III. Finally, based on the results of uniaxial cyclic load analysis and selection of the MQ-RPIM method, the Multi-axial Cyclic load analysis has been performed on 3D-domain. During this analysis, the Paris Parametric equation along with the Elliptic equation and Liu’s Virtual Strain Energy (VSE) model was used to estimate the fatigue crack growth and fatigue life prediction of a submersible cracked shaft of a pump used in water pumping stations.
Temporal Trends in the Disease Burden of Colorectal Cancer with Its Risk Factors at the Global and National Level from 1990 to 2019, and Projections Until 2044

Background This study aimed to evaluate the global colorectal cancer(CRC) trend and the relevant risk factors from 1990 to 2019 and for better policymaking and resource allocation. Methods Data on CRC, including incidence, mortality and disability adjusted life year (DALY) rates, were extracted from the 2019 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study. The estimated annual percentage changes (EAPCs) were calculated to assess the temporal trend of incidence, mortality and DALYs. The Bayesian age-period-cohort model(BAPC) was used to predict the future burden of CRC. Results In 2019, a total of 2.17 million CRC cases were reported worldwide, a 157% increase from 1990. In high-social demographic index (SDI) regions, the trend of age-standardized incidence rate(ASIR) tended to decrease, while the proportion of people under 50 years of age tended to increase. Although the number of deaths and DALYs increased, the age-standardized death rate (ASDR) and age-standardized DALY rate decreased. The CRC burden was growing fastest in middle-SDI regions, especially in East Asia, followed by low SDI regions. In addition, the milk intake, High-BMI and high fasting plasma glucose play a more important role in on CRC. The predicted cases and deaths in global continued to increase to 2044. And there is an upward trend in ASIR for both men and women. Conclusion In developed regions, the CRC burden continues to decrease, while the CRC burden become more and more severe in developing regions. Overall, the burden of CRC will rising in the near future. Therefore, reasonable resource allocation and prevention policies should be implemented. Developing countries needs more attention.
Two-degree-of-freedom dead-beat control system with robustness: multivariable case

Abstract A design procedure for two-degree-of-freedom (TDF) dead-beat controllers for multivariable systems is presented. Based on the parametrization of all stabilizing TDF controllers, a minimal-time dead-beat control system with optimal robustness is constructed for an arbitrary reference input. The optimal robustness is achieved under the constraint of robust tracking. A comparison of a TDF system with a one-degree-of-freedom (ODF) system reveals that, under the same robustness criterion, the optimal robustness of the TDF system is always superior to that of the ODF system irrespective of its settling time. It is also shown that the optimal robustness of the ODF system becomes identical to that of the TDF only when the settling time of the ODF system goes to infinity. Some numerical examples are given to illustrate the theoretical results.
Giant magnetic anisotropy in paramagnetic Tb2 (MoO4)3

Abstract The magnetization curves of single crystal samples of metastable orthorhombic ferroelectric paramagnetic β′-phase of Tb2(MoO4)3 were measured at 4.2K and 78K by means of the induction method in a pulsed magnetic field up to 300 kOe along [001] axis and perpendicular to it. The pulse duration was 0.01 s. The magnetization was highly anisotropic. At T = 78K and in the field of 300 kOe the magnetization along the [001] axis was two times larger than that along the [010] axis. So large a magnetization anisotropy in a paramagnetic state has not been observed before. Hysteresis was observed on the magnetization curves at 4.2K. The hysteresis along [100] direction was produced by the interchange of [100] and [010] axes under the influence of the magnetic field. The existence of the unidimentional paramagnetism at low temperatures and the onset of the metastable ferromagnetic state at high fields was supposed to explain the hysteresis on the magnetization curve along [001] axis at 4.2K.

Hypothesis Testing in Unidentified Models

An identified model is not necessary for statistical inference, but ambiguities can arise. This paper examines some simple examples and proposes a framework that distinguishes between the "refutation" and "confirmation" aspects of testing in an unidentified model. One particular problem is the interpretation given to overidentifying restrictions: a common view is that these are somehow not properly testable.
Topology of large-scale structure. IV - Topology in two dimensions

In a recent series of papers, an algorithm was developed for quantitatively measuring the topology of the large-scale structure of the universe and this algorithm was applied to numerical models and to three-dimensional observational data sets. In this paper, it is shown that topological information can be derived from a two-dimensional cross section of a density field, and analytic expressions are given for a Gaussian random field. The application of a two-dimensional numerical algorithm for measuring topology to cross sections of three-dimensional models is demonstrated.
Maximum Likelihood Estimates for the Hildreth-Houck Random Coefficients Model

We explore maximum likelihood (ML) estimation of the Hildreth-Houck random coefficients model. We show that the global ML estimator can be inconsistent. We develop an alternative LML (local ML) estimator and prove that it is consistent and asymptotically efficient for points in the interior of the parameters. Properties of the LML and comparisons with common method of moments (MM) estimates are done via Monte Carlo. Boundary parameters lead to nonstandard asymptotic distributions for the LML which are described. The LML is used to develop a modification of the LR test for random coefficients. Simulations suggest that the LR test is more powerful for distant alternatives than the Breusch-Pagan (BP) Lagrange multiplier test. A simple modification of the BP test also appears to be more powerful than the BP. Copyright Royal Economic Society 2002

Association between the Standardized Mortality Ratio and Healthy Life Expectancy in Japan

Introduction: Healthy life expectancy (HLE) remains the principal target of various health plans. We aimed to identify the areas of priority and determinants of mortality to extend HLE across local governments in Japan. Methods: HLE according to secondary medical areas was calculated using the Sullivan method. People requiring long-term care of level 2 or higher were considered unhealthy. Standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) for major causes of death were calculated using vital statistics data. The association between HLE and SMR was analyzed using simple and multiple regression analyses. Results: The average (standard deviation) HLE values were 79.24 (0.85) and 83.76 (0.62) years for men and women, respectively. A comparison of HLE revealed regional health gaps of 4.46 (76.90-81.36) and 3.46 (81.99-85.45) years for men and women, respectively. The coefficients of determination for the SMR of malignant neoplasms with HLE were the highest and were 0.402 and 0.219 among men and women, respectively, followed by those of cerebrovascular diseases, suicide, and heart diseases among men and those of heart disease, pneumonia, and liver disease among women. When all major preventable causes of death were analyzed simultaneously in a regression model, the coefficients of determination were 0.738 and 0.425 among men and women, respectively. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that local governments should prioritize preventing cancer deaths via cancer screening and smoking cessation measures in health plans, with a special focus on men.
Towards Practical BCI-Driven Wheelchairs: A Systematic Review Study

The use of brain signals in controlling wheelchairs is a promising solution for many disabled individuals, specifically those who are suffering from motor neuron disease affecting the proper functioning of their motor units. Almost two decades since the first work, the applicability of EEG-driven wheelchairs is still limited to laboratory environments. In this work, a systematic review study has been conducted to identify the state-of-the-art and the different models adopted in the literature. Furthermore, a strong emphasis is devoted to introducing the challenges impeding a broad use of the technology as well as the latest research trends in each of those areas.
The Nuclear Transporter Importin 13 Can Regulate Stress-Induced Cell Death through the Clusterin/KU70 Axis

The cellular response to environmental stresses, such as heat and oxidative stress, is dependent on extensive trafficking of stress-signalling molecules between the cytoplasm and nucleus, which potentiates stress-activated signalling pathways, eventually resulting in cell repair or death. Although Ran-dependent nucleocytoplasmic transport mediated by members of the importin (IPO) super family of nuclear transporters is believed to be responsible for nearly all macromolecular transit between nucleus and cytoplasm, it is paradoxically known to be significantly impaired under conditions of stress. Importin 13 (IPO13) is a unique bidirectional transporter that binds to and releases cargo in a Ran-dependent manner, but in some cases, cargo release from IPO13 is affected by loading of another cargo. To investigate IPO13′s role in stress-activated pathways, we performed cell-based screens to identify a multitude of binding partners of IPO13 from human brain, lung, and testes. Analysis of the IPO13 interactome intriguingly indicated more than half of the candidate binding partners to be annotated for roles in stress responses; these included the pro-apoptotic protein nuclear clusterin (nCLU), as well as the nCLU-interacting DNA repair protein KU70. Here, we show, for the first time, that unlike other IPOs which are mislocalised and non-functional, IPO13 continues to translocate between the nucleus and cytoplasm under stress, retaining the capacity to import certain cargoes, such as nCLU, but not export others, such as KU70, as shown by analysis using fluorescence recovery after photobleaching. Importantly, depletion of IPO13 reduces stress-induced import of nCLU and protects against stress-induced cell death, with concomitant protection from DNA damage during stress. Overexpression/FACS experiments demonstrate that nCLU is dependent on IPO13 to trigger stress-induced cell death via apoptosis. Taken together, these results implicate IPO13 as a novel functional nuclear transporter in cellular stress, with a key role thereby in cell fate decision.
RADIATION OF A DIPOLE IN AN INFINITE TRIAXIAL ANISOTROPIC MEDIUM

Abstract The radiation of an elementary dipole placed inside an infinite triaxial anisotropic medium is analyzed. A Fourier analysis is employed to compute the field which is represented by using a dyadic formulation. The near and far field expressions are obtained by pursuing integration of the Fourier integrals. Conventional spherical scalar wave functions are employed to represent the dyadic Green's functien. Singularity source terms of the Green's function dominant in the near field region, are treated independently. Two separate spherical waves compose the far field, where also a non-zero radial term appears.
Identification of a new class of satellites in the outer solar system

From near-infrared photometry (JHKL) of small bodies in the outer solar system a previously unrecognized class of planetary satellites is identified which may have surfaces mostly free of frosts of water, methane, or ammonia. These bodies - including two satellites of Uranus (Titania and Oberon), and one each of Saturn (Hyperion) and Neptune (Triton) - have surfaces characterized by neutral reflectance between J and H (1.25 and 1.60 microns) and rapidly decreasing reflectance at K (2.2 microns) and L (3.5 microns). It is pointed out that the 15 solid bodies in the outer solar system that have been satisfactorily observed (excluding the asteroids) fall into six classes according to spectral reflectance. The presence of water frost or ice on the surface of Enceladus is established.

MECHANICAL AND THERMAL PROPERTIES OF PRASEODYMIUM MONOPNICTIDES: AN ULTRASONIC STUDY

We have computed ultrasonic attenuation, acoustic coupling constants and ultrasonic velocities of praseodymium monopnictides PrX(X: N, P, As, Sb and Bi) along the 〈100〉, 〈110〉, 〈111〉 in the temperature range 100–500 K using higher order elastic constants. The higher order elastic constants are evaluated using Coulomb and Born–Mayer potential with two basic parameters viz. nearest-neighbor distance and hardness parameter in the temperature range of 0–500 K. Several other mechanical and thermal parameters like bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young's modulus, Poisson ratio, anisotropic ratio, tetragonal moduli, Breazeale's nonlinearity parameter and Debye temperature are also calculated. In the present study, the fracture/toughness (B/G) ratio is less than 1.75 which implies that PrX compounds are brittle in nature at room temperature. The chosen material fulfilled Born criterion of mechanical stability. We also found the deviation of Cauchy's relation at higher temperatures. PrN is most stable material as it has highest valued higher order elastic constants as well as the ultrasonic velocity. Further, the lattice thermal conductivity using modified approach of Slack and Berman is determined at room temperature. The ultrasonic attenuation due to phonon–phonon interaction and thermoelastic relaxation mechanisms have been computed using modified Mason's approach. The results with other well-known physical properties are useful for industrial applications.
Determining Spatial Variability of Elastic Properties for Biological Samples Using AFM

Measuring the mechanical properties (i.e., elasticity in terms of Young’s modulus) of biological samples using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) indentation at the nanoscale has opened new horizons in studying and detecting various pathological conditions at early stages, including cancer and osteoarthritis. It is expected that AFM techniques will play a key role in the future in disease diagnosis and modeling using rigorous mathematical criteria (i.e., automated user-independent diagnosis). In this review, AFM techniques and mathematical models for determining the spatial variability of elastic properties of biological materials at the nanoscale are presented and discussed. Significant issues concerning the rationality of the elastic half-space assumption, the possibility of monitoring the depth-dependent mechanical properties, and the construction of 3D Young’s modulus maps are also presented.
Dysfunctional cerebello-cerebral network associated with vocal emotion recognition impairments

Abstract Vocal emotion recognition, a key determinant to analyzing a speaker’s emotional state, is known to be impaired following cerebellar dysfunctions. Nevertheless, its possible functional integration in the large-scale brain network subtending emotional prosody recognition has yet to be explored. We administered an emotional prosody recognition task to patients with right versus left-hemispheric cerebellar lesions and a group of matched controls. We explored the lesional correlates of vocal emotion recognition in patients through a network-based analysis by combining a neuropsychological approach for lesion mapping with normative brain connectome data. Results revealed impaired recognition among patients for neutral or negative prosody, with poorer sadness recognition performances by patients with right cerebellar lesion. Network-based lesion-symptom mapping revealed that sadness recognition performances were linked to a network connecting the cerebellum with left frontal, temporal, and parietal cortices. Moreover, when focusing solely on a subgroup of patients with right cerebellar damage, sadness recognition performances were associated with a more restricted network connecting the cerebellum to the left parietal lobe. As the left hemisphere is known to be crucial for the processing of short segmental information, these results suggest that a corticocerebellar network operates on a fine temporal scale during vocal emotion decoding.
Dynamics of a stellar bar

The dynamical properties of a prolate bar have been studied by means of a three-dimensional computer model. The bar pattern rotates in the sense of the total angular momentum. The mean particle motion is a rapid streaming in the direction of pattern rotation as seen from a frame that rotates with the bar. Rotation rates that would be inferred from observation are significantly (2-3 times) faster than the pattern rotation speed. Velocity dispersions are anisotropic with the largest component along the bar. Particles oscillate in the bar potential significantly faster than pattern rotation. About 25% of the star orbits are near 2:2:1 resonance with the slow motion along the bar. Particle motion is highly ordered in the bar. Observable properties are described; where comparisons can be made, observable properties are in agreement with observations of brightness contours, velocity fields, and velocity dispersions. The bar has nearly exponential density profiles.
Wave propagation in vortices and vortex bursting

The propagation of pressure waves in a Lamb–Oseen vortex has been investigated both by three-dimensional direct numerical simulations as well as a set of large-eddy simulations. The pressure wave is initiated by locally increasing the core radius of a Lamb–Oseen vortex at its edge. This wave travels along the vortex axis towards the region with a thinner core radius. Behind the wave the axial velocity increases so that sufficient swirl may trigger the helical instability. An abrupt change of flow structure in the vortex core is observed in the case of intersecting pressure waves: this phenomenon is known as vortex bursting. A vortex system composed of two symmetric counter-rotating vortices, which is similar to that of an aircraft has also been investigated by means of large-eddy simulations. In the far-field region the system develops linear instabilities such as the Crow instability, which is characterized by a large-scale symmetric sinusoidal deformation resulting in the reconnection of the two vortice.
Parametrisation of hadron inclusive cross sections in p-p collisions extended to very low energies

To parametrise the inclusive differential cross sections of charged hadrons produced in p-p collisions at the CMS energy, square root s<or approximately=10 GeV, where the radial-scaling limit is not reached, a new variable xT=T*/T*max is introduced, where T* is the kinetic energy of a hadron produced in the CMS. The ratio of the low-energy inclusive differential cross section to that of its corresponding radial-scaling limit is found to be explicitly independent of pt and approaches unity monotonically and quickly from above for increasing square root s. The authors have succeeded in parametrising the inclusive differential cross sections for hadrons including pi +or-, kappa +or-, p and p, and the expressions obtained are applicable at energies from the ISR down to those near the production thresholds.
