Vladimir A. GODLEVSKIY

Frontiers of Mechanical Engineering 2016, Volume 11, Issue 1, Pages 101-107 doi: 10.1007/s11465-016-0369-y

Abstract:

The main stages of technological lubricating material development from ancient times to date are described. How the chemical composition of these products changed with time, how new ideas revealing the physical and chemical basics of external media that influence the mechanical processing of materials appeared, how these ideas explained the differences between traditional tribology and specific technology of metal processing are discussed. The question of the possible realization of Rehbinder’s adsorption effect in contact zone is also stated. The description of a very captivating problem is related to the explanation of the mechanism of lubricant penetration into the contact zone between the material being processed and the tool. The birth and development of the hypothesis of microcapillary penetration of the lubricant into the dynamically changed intersurface clearance that has finally led to formulating the “necessary kinetic condition of the lubricating activity” is relayed.

Abstract: The role of on the central carbon metabolism was investigated through analyzing the deficiency of this regulon gene under aerobic and glucose-enriched culture conditions. The experimental results showed that while the wild type cells exhibited an overflow metabolism effect, the -deleting mutation alleviated this effect with the significant suppression of acetate accumulation under a high glucose condition. This gene deletion also induced the twofold upregulation of and one-tenth downregulation of , respectively. The overflow metabolism effect was confirmed to be recovered by re-introducing gene into the mutant. These results demonstrated changed the central carbon metabolism toward acetate overflow through dehydrogenation of pyruvate and reduction of TCA cycle activity.

Frontiers of Environmental Science & Engineering 2012, Volume 6, Issue 4, Pages 518-523 doi: 10.1007/s11783-012-0427-6

Abstract: This study was conducted to evaluate the toxicological response of -nitrotoluene and -nitroaniline to the key fish species, . A freshwater fish bioassay based on the 96 h was used to estimate the single and joint toxicity of the two chemicals. The toxicity of -nitrotoluene was greater than that of -nitroaniline based on 96 h values of 40.74 mg·L and 48.99 mg·L , respectively. Both compounds had moderate toxicity toward , and this toxicity increased with the exposure duration and concentration. Binary mixtures of the compounds were more toxic than the individual compounds at 96 h, and they acted upon partial addition. When the exposure time was longer, the toxicity increased for mixtures of compounds with the same concentration or toxicity. The results of this study suggest that exposure to a combination of these chemicals would result in a higher environmental risk in aquatic systems than exposure to either compound alone. Further research is needed to investigate the combined effects and sublethal toxicity of -nitrotoluene and -nitroaniline, since they are both still used in China.

Investigations on color variations of <italic>Morpho rhetenoritalic> butterfly wing scales

Guanglan LIAO, Haibo ZUO, Xuan JIANG, Xuefeng YANG, Tielin SHI

Frontiers of Mechanical Engineering 2012, Volume 7, Issue 4, Pages 394-400 doi: 10.1007/s11465-012-0347-y

Abstract:

Experiments and simulations are carried out to investigate the optical properties of butterfly wing scales. The upper surface of a male butterfly wing presents a single-layer of scales, the microstructures of which are responsible for the brilliant blue color. The color varies from cyan blue to yellow green and soon afterwards returns back to cyan blue when some ethanol is dropped on the upper surface. At the start of the ethanol volatilization process, the reflection spectrum remains stable. As the ethanol further volatilizes, the peak reflectance decreases slightly, then increases dramatically. Meanwhile, the peak wavelength keeps approximately constant, then decreases, and keeps almost stable at the end of the process. Therefore, the optical properties depend strongly on the varying ambient conditions, including the refractive index and the thickness of the packing medium. Moreover, the possible causes for the scales in dark green region after several dropping ethanol experiments are clarified. This research benefits our understanding of the color variation mechanisms of the wing scales, and provides inspiration for further studies and applications.

Abstract: During normal metabolism, oxidative byproducts will inevitably generate and damage molecules thereby impairing their biological functions, including the aging process. (补肾抗衰方, ) is a traditional Chinese medicine widely used for clinically treating premature ovarian failure. In the present study, administration at high concentrations significantly increased lifespan, slowed aging-related decline, and delayed accumulation of aging-related cellular damage in wild-type . administration could further largely alleviate the aging defects induced by UV and oxidative stresses, and administration at different concentrations could largely rescue the aging defects in mutant animals. The protective effects of administration on aging process were at least partially dependent on the Ins/IGF-like signaling pathway. Moreover, administration at different concentrations obviously altered the expression patterns of antioxidant genes and suppressed the severe stress responses induced by UV and oxidative stresses, suggesting that -induced tolerance to UV or oxidative stress might result from reactive oxygen species scavenging. administration during development was not necessarily a requirement for UV and oxidative stress resistance, and the concentrations of administrated examined were not toxic for nematodes. Therefore, administration could effectively retrieve the aging defects induced by UV irradiation and oxidative stress in .

Mutagenesis and selective breeding of a high producing

Frontiers of Chemical Science and Engineering 2012, Volume 6, Issue 2, Pages 179-183 doi: 10.1007/s11705-012-1273-6

Abstract: -Poly- -lysine ( -PL) is an -lysine linear homopolymer, which is produced by bacteria belonging to the family and by ergot fungi. However, the production of -PL by the wild bacteria strain is very low, which limits its utilization. In most bacteria including the genus, -lysine is a precursor of -PL and is biosynthesized by the -aspartate pathway. Aspartokinase (Ask) is the first key enzyme in this pathway and is subject to complex regulation such as the feedback inhibition by the end product amino acids. In addition, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase is feedback-regulated by -aspartate. To reduce these feedback inhibitions and to improve -PL productivity, resistant mutants were produced using sulfaguanidine (SG) + glycine+ -lysine+ -3-hydroxynorvaline (AHV) as selective markers. Using the interaction between -PL and the charged dye in the solid culture medium, hundreds of colonies were simultaneously screened in a quick and effective manner. Finally, one -PL-producing strain, L9, was selected. The productivity of this strain during flask fermentation was 0.77 g/L, which was 15% higher than that of the original strain. Moreover, its fermentation performance and genetic characteristics were very stable.

Frontiers of Environmental Science & Engineering 2012, Volume 6, Issue 1, Pages 51-58 doi: 10.1007/s11783-011-0206-9

Abstract: The biosorption of Cd and Cu onto the immobilized ( ) was investigated in this study. Adsorption kinetics, isotherms and the effect of pH were studied. The results indicated that the biosorption of Cd and Cu on the immobilized was fast at initial stage and then became slow. The maximum biosorption of heavy metal ions on immobilized were observed at pH 4 for Cd and Cu . by the pseudo-second-order model described the sorption kinetic data well according to the high correlation coefficient ( ) obtained. The biosorption isotherm was fitted well by the Langmuir model, indicating possible mono-layer biosorption of Cd and Cu on the immobilized . Moreover, the immobilized after the sorption of Cd and Cu could be regenerated and reused.

Generalized labeled multi-Bernoulli filter with signal features of unknown emitters Research Article

Qiang GUO, Long TENG, Xinliang WU, Wenming SONG, Dayu HUANG

Frontiers of Information Technology & Electronic Engineering 2022, Volume 23, Issue 12, Pages 1871-1880 doi: 10.1631/FITEE.2200286

Abstract:

A novel algorithm that combines the (GLMB) filter with signal features of the unknown emitter is proposed in this paper. In complex electromagnetic environments, emitter features (EFs) are often unknown and time-varying. Aiming at the unknown feature problem, we propose a method for identifying EFs based on of data fields. Because EFs are time-varying and the probability distribution is unknown, an improved algorithm is proposed to calculate the correlation coefficients between the target and measurements, to approximate the EF likelihood function. On this basis, the EF likelihood function is integrated into the recursive GLMB filter process to obtain the new prediction and update equations. Simulation results show that the proposed method can improve the tracking performance of multiple targets, especially in heavy clutter environments.

Flux-free brazing of Mg-containing aluminium alloys by means of cold spraying

BOBZIN Kirsten, ZHAO Lidong, ERNST Felix, RICHARDT Katharina

Frontiers of Mechanical Engineering 2008, Volume 3, Issue 4, Pages 355-359 doi: 10.1007/s11465-008-0055-9

Abstract: In the present study, AlSi12 and AlSi10Cu4 were deposited onto Mg-containing aluminium alloys 6063 and 5754 by cold spraying. The influences of the two brazing alloys and spray parameters on coating formation were investigated. The microstructure of the coatings was characterized. Some coated samples were heat-treated at 590°C and 560°C in air to investigate the effect of the rupture of oxide scales on the diffusion of elements during heat-treatment. Some coated samples were brazed under argon atmosphere without any fluxes. The results show that AlSi12 had much better deposition behaviour than AlSi10Cu4. Due to the rupture of oxide scales, Cu and Si diffused into the substrate and a metallurgical bond formed between the brazing alloys and the substrates during heat-treatment. The coated samples could be brazed without any fluxes. Because the oxide scales prevented the formation of a metallurgical bond locally, the brazed samples had relatively low shear strengths of up to 43 MPa.
