Higher-Order constitutive relations for granular materials: a multi-scale approach

The mechanical behaviour of granular materials subjected to large deformations is important in many problems in science and engineering. Current numerical simulation methods using zeroth-order constitutive relations give results that are dependent on the employed mesh size. This problem can be circumvented by using higher-order constitutive relations. However, current higher-order constitutive relations are heuristic, thus in many cases the results are still mesh-size dependent. Using an innovative multi-scale approach, I will constructively challenge current higher-order continuum theories from a fundamental perspective, namely by consideration of the underlying microstructure, in order to obtain mesh-independent solutions. In ICARUS, I will: 1) develop micromechanical expressions for three-dimensional higher-order strain and stress tensors for granular materials, 2) construct higher-order constitutive models within the thermodynamic framework, based on micromechanical analyses of DEM simulations, and 3) demonstrate their capabilities in solving “benchmark” geotechnical large-deformation problems. My investigation results in a computational simulation method that provides valuable insights in large-deformation engineering problems and thus will aid in assessing and reducing risks of natural hazards, with benefits for society. Under the guidance of Prof Kruyt, an internationally-recognised expert on micromechanics of granular materials, and of my high-level international steering committee, I will acquire deep knowledge on granular micromechanics and higher-order continuum theories. This lays a solid foundation for my scientific career. ICARUS paves the way for my ambition to become an outstanding independent researcher on multi-scale studies of granular materials, by significantly strengthening my scientific skills and track record, enhancing my mentoring and teaching capabilities and expanding my international scientific network.

Single-Molecule analysis of holliday-junction (hj) migration by the human double-hj dissolvasome

The project outlined here investigates the molecular mechanisms of the critical final steps of homologous recombination (HR) based DNA repair, a pathway that supports the error-free repair of double-stranded DNA breaks (DSBs). In HR, the broken DNA ends are processed and homologous DNA provides a template for repair. Engagement of both processed ends leads to the formation of a double Holliday-junction (DHJ) structure. DHJ can be resolved by enzymatic cleavage or dissolved by the concerted action of a specialized group of helicases (RecQ-family helicases including Bloom’s syndrome helicase (BLM)) and Type I topoisomerases (e.g. TOP3A). In humans the ‘dissolvasome complex’ consists of BLM, TOP3A and regulatory proteins (RMI1, RMI2), called the BTR complex. The BTR complex dissolves DHJ by 1. convergent branch migration of the two independent HJs and 2. decatenation of the final hemicatenate structure. Thus, dissolution solely results non-crossover products, which is necessary to avoid chromosomal rearrangements. What is the mechanism of HJ migration? What are the exact roles of the subunits of the BTR complex? How long can a HJ migrate (i.e. how processive is the ‘dissolvasome’)? How specific is the DHJ migration to the BTR complex compared to other human RecQ helicases? Here we aim to address these questions by using state-of-the-art single-molecule and solution biophysical and biochemical techniques. We will generate a previously inaccessible mobile HJ substrate integrated into λ-bacteriophage DNA. We will follow the processes underlying HJ migration by fluorescently labeling the BTR complex, HJ position and DNA end in total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy combined with microfluidics. Elucidation of the detailed roles of the BTR components in HJ branch migration will help us to understand their roles in genome maintenance.
Using NASA's Space Launch System to Enable Game Changing Science Mission Designs

NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center is directing efforts to build the Space Launch System (SLS), a heavy-lift rocket that will help restore U.S. leadership in space by carrying the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle and other important payloads far beyond Earth orbit. Its evolvable architecture will allow NASA to begin with Moon fly-bys and then go on to transport humans or robots to distant places such as asteroids, Mars, and the outer solar system. Designed to simplify spacecraft complexity, the SLS rocket will provide improved mass margins and radiation mitigation, and reduced mission durations. These capabilities offer attractive advantages for ambitious missions such as a Mars sample return, by reducing infrastructure requirements, cost, and schedule. For example, if an evolved expendable launch vehicle (EELV) were used for a proposed mission to investigate the Saturn system, a complicated trajectory would be required with several gravity-assist planetary fly-bys to achieve the necessary outbound velocity. The SLS rocket, using significantly higher C3 energies, can more quickly and effectively take the mission directly to its destination, reducing trip times and cost. As this paper will report, the SLS rocket will launch payloads of unprecedented mass and volume, such as monolithic telescopes and in-space infrastructure. Thanks to its ability to co-manifest large payloads, it also can accomplish complex missions in fewer launches. Future analyses will include reviews of alternate mission concepts and detailed evaluations of SLS figures of merit, helping the new rocket revolutionize science mission planning and design for years to come.
Stochastic Power-efficient DVFS Scheduling of Real-time Tasks on Multicore Processors with Leakage Power Awareness

This paper proposes a power-efficient scheduling scheme that stochastically minimizes the power consumption of real-time tasks while meeting their deadlines on multicore processors. In the proposed scheme, uncertain computation amounts of given tasks are translated into probabilistic computation amounts based on their past completion amounts, and the mean power consumption of the translated probabilistic computation amounts is minimized with a finite set of discrete clock frequencies. Also, when system load is low, the proposed scheme activates a part of all available ∙제1저자 : 이관우 ∙교신저자 : 이관우 ∙투고일 : 2014. 2. 3, 심사일 : 2014. 3. 5, 게재확정일 : 2014. 3. 11. * 한성대학교 정보시스템공학과(Dept. of Information Systems Engineering, Hansung University) ※ 본 연구는 한성대학교 교내연구비 지원 과제임. 26 Journal of The Korea Society of Computer and Information April 2014 cores with unused cores powered off, considering the leakage power consumption of cores.

Calculations of Auger intensity versus beam position for a sample with layers perpendicular to its surface

Recent advances in nanotechnology are a driving force for the improvement of lateral resolution in advanced analytical techniques such as scanning electron microscopy or scanning Auger microscopy (SAM). Special samples with multilayers which are perpendicular to their surface are presently proposed for testing the lateral resolution, as discussed in recent works of Senoner et al (2004 Surf. Interface Anal. 36 1423). The relevant experiment needs a theoretical description based on recent progress in the theory. Monte Carlo simulations of electron trajectories make possible an accurate description of the considered system. We selected exemplary samples, with layers perpendicular to the surface. The layer materials are elemental solids with high, medium and low atomic numbers, i.e. Au|Cu|Au and Au|Si|Au. For these systems calculations of the Auger current versus beam position were performed. We found that, for a system with layers consisting of elements of considerably different atomic numbers, the relation can have an unexpected extreme. This observation can be important in analysis of SAM pictures.
SKIN RESURFACING AND TREATMENT USING BIOCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS

Biocompatible materials are propelled at the skin with sufficient velocity to cause desired resurfacing of skin layers to the desired penetration depth. The materials, such as dry ice or water ice, are harmonious with the human body and thus eliminate foreign body reactions. Various materials may be used in combination, including local anesthetics and vasoconstrictors in solid or liquid form. The biocompatible solid or liquid particles are suspended in a cold carrier fluid and propelled through an insulated delivery system to the surface of the skin. The cosmetic resurfacing of the skin may be accomplished using the present invention as a drug delivery system.
Probabilistic neuromorphic architecture for real-time sensor fusion applied to smart, water quality monitoring systems

“ProbSenS” will develop a novel low-power event-driven probabilistic Very Large-Scale Integration (VLSI) architecture for real-time, adaptive and robust multisensor integration. Multisensor integration exploits the extended coverage of multiple detectors to increase perceptual confidence in Smart Systems, but embedded implementations are yet in their infancy due to the lack of hardware able to infer from the multivariate, nonlinear, time-dependent and noisy signals supplied by modern sensors. By using principles of how biological systems promptly combine multisensory information and generate meaningful features in dynamic and uncontrolled real-world conditions, bioinspired Generative Deep Neural Network (GDNN) models are emerging as a powerful, CMOS-amenable computing paradigm to accelerate sensor fusion and enable quick, reliable self-learning and context-awareness under these constraints.
This project aims to develop such technology into a smaller, smarter, calibration-free multisensor solution, tolerant to sensor drifts and suited to process low-latency data from a varied set of solid-state transducers in critical real-world monitoring/diagnosis scenarios where information is acquired on-line and mostly unlabelled, e.g. security, health and environmental care. ”ProbSenS” will broaden state-of-the-art insight in the following multidisciplinary areas: (i) The modelling of GDNNs as probabilistic processors for adaptive event-based sensor fusion in Smart Systems; (ii) the investigation of novel ultra-low-power VLSI circuits to realise their computational units in low-cost CMOS technologies; (iii) the yet unexplored event-driven fusion of electrochemical and optical microsensors using a GDNN; and (iv) the benchmark of this technology in a true EU societal challenge: the real-time monitoring of water pollutants. The final outcome will be a functional working prototype of the GDNN validated in the field together with Agbar, the largest water management company in Spain.
A heritage to be discovered and safeguarded: the underwater world of Caorle, Koper-Capodistria and Grado

The participating Municipalities, sharing a bond of geographical, physical and tourist similarities, have identified in the underwater world and in their respective natural resources, the starting point for the development of this project, which unwinds around the theme of the sea and its underwater natural and archaeological resources. The common objective consists in the enhancement and promotion of the marine environment through the creation of a cross-border network of underwater routes characterised by various degrees of difficulty, available to beginners and expert scuba divers alike. Therefore joint underwater routes are devised, while information and reception centres are set up to concentrate the offer and ensure a rational management of the visits, encouraging a sustainable and organised tourism. The actions were carried out jointly by the three partner Municipalities. The first phase consists in a research of bibliographic data and the study of diving points of a naturalistic and/or historic/archaeological interest, located off the coasts of Caorle, Grado and Koper - Capodistria. There follows the construction of underwater routes proper (four in each Municipality) which are precisely mapped, illustrated through photos and videos and catalogued. All resulting material will then be exhibited in the didactic-tourist facilities set up in the three towns. Lastly, the project entails the preparation of a set of detailed maps of the twelve diving areas, providing detailed information to engage in scuba diving in full safety. Each map contains the outline of the route and the most significant points of interest, as well as technical information and detailed descriptions, as well as curious facts and in-depth highlights.
ONERA SAR facilities

This paper provides an overview of the airborne SAR systems developed by the French Aerospace Lab ONERA over the past five years. The first system, called SETHI, is presented in the first section. It has been developed according to the standard FAR25 applied to civil application. The main improvement compared to the previous ONERA airborne radar system RAMSES is that the antennas are located into two pods compatible with small aircrafts like the Falcon 20. This pod-based configuration allows the easy integration of any kind of payloads under the single certification of the pods by authorities. The second section describes the BUSARD concept, dedicated to UAV-like payloads. A special attention is set on its Ka-band radar payload. Finally, we describe the RAMSES NG project, with a new installation on board a Falcon 20 aircraft and we expose the latest X-band developments. The three systems are summarized on overview tables.
Identifying the economic and environmental impacts of China's trade in intermediates within the Asia-Pacific region

Abstract Using value-added and employment as the representatives of economic benefits and carbon emissions as the proxy of environmental costs of trade, this study analyzes the impacts of China's trade in intermediates with major trading partners in the Asia-Pacific region (Australia, Canada, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Taiwan, and the USA) on its economy and environment during 2000–2014 through hypothetical extraction method and structural decomposition analysis. Results show that China's trade in intermediates within the region induced a higher share of carbon emissions than those of value-added and employment. The economic and environmental impacts of China's trade in intermediates with the seven trading partners were mainly driven up by the intensifying international industrial linkages. Technical factors induced considerable negative effects on the impacted carbon emissions and employment. At the sectoral level, the expanding intermediate trade of heavy industries brought the major part of increasing impacts on carbon emissions, value-added, and employment. The impacted employment shifted toward high-skilled occupations, especially in heavy industries and services, and the impacted low-skilled employment decreased in most sectors. Finally, related policy implications are deduced.
Impact assessment of AC and DC electric rope shovels on coal mine power distribution system

Electric rope shovel is a major piece of equipment in coal mines. They consume significant amounts of power and each of their motions require few thousands kVA. Therefore, commissioning a new shovel in the existing power system of a mine has to be done with very careful analysis of its impact on the network. Aspects such as load flow studies, fault analysis, protection co-ordination, harmonic analysis and arc flash studies are of great interest for the power system engineers on site. The aim of this research paper is to present the modeling process used to simulate the operation of both an electric rope shovel in operation and another new shovel to be commissioned in a coal mine and assess their impact on the power system.
Perioperative neonatal and paediatric blood transfusion

Paediatric patients undergoing surgical procedures commonly require some volume of blood or blood component replacement in the perioperative period. Paediatric patients undergoing major surgery associated with substantial blood loss should be evaluated pre-operatively. Pre-operative correction of anaemia may be done considering the age, plasma volume status, clinical status and comorbidities. Maximum allowable blood loss (MABL) for surgery must be calculated, and appropriate quantity of blood and blood components should be arranged. Intraoperative monitoring of blood loss should be done, and volume of transfusion should be calculated in a protocol based manner considering the volemia and the trigger threshold for transfusion for the patient and the MABL. Early haemostasis should be achieved by judicious administration of red blood cells, blood components and pharmacological agents.
Substituent Effects on Menshutkin-Type Reactions in the Gas Phase and Solutions: Theoretical Approach from the Orbital Interaction View

In this study, we developed a method to interpret the mechanism of acceleration for Menshutkin-type reactions in solutions theoretically, from the orbital interaction view, utilizing the through-space/bond (TS/TB) interaction analysis in the polarizable continuum model (PCM). Different method levels were tested to determine the substituent effects on the reactions of NH3 attacking para-substituted benzyl bromide. The geometrical structures and Mulliken charge distributions were analyzed to elucidate the substituent effects on the SN2 reaction center. The results of Mulliken charge analysis showed that the para-substituted benzyl group (-C6H4Y) received negative charge through the reaction process, and both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents Y made -C6H4Y groups receive greater charges. Solvent effects on the structures of transition states (T-S(s)) were significant. The structures of T-S(s) were found to be exhibiting longer bond lengths in solutions, especially in polar solvents such as water. Our TS/TB-PCM analysis method can predict the substituent effects in solutions by evaluating contributions from orbital interactions in question. The orbital interaction analysis results revealed that the key orbital interactions for stabilizing the T-S(s) of the systems with substituents Y = NH2 and NO2 in water were n(NH2)-π*(ph) (ph = phenyl) and π(ph)-π*(NO2) interactions, respectively. Stronger interactions between π*(ph) and σ*(Cα-Br) occurred because of the n(NH2)-π*(ph) and π(ph)-π*(NO2) interactions that resulted when para-substituents -NH2 and -NO2, respectively, were added to the system. These stronger π*(ph)-σ*(Cα-Br) interactions stabilized the transition state and enabled the Br leaving group to leave more easily.
