以邻二氮菲法测定羟基自由基清除率、邻苯三酚法测定超氧阴离子自由基抑制率、铁氰化钾法测定还原力,研究了荞麦七不同溶剂提取物中的黄酮类物质的抗氧化活性。结果表明:荞麦七不同溶剂提取物的抗氧化活性因黄酮类物质的种类及含量不同而不同,其中60%乙醇-乙酸乙酯提取物中的黄酮类物质含量最多,抗氧化活性最强,提取物浓度与其抗氧化活性呈线性关系。该研究为荞麦七中抗氧化黄酮类物质的进一步分离奠定了基础。     

NUMA结构的高效实时稳定的垃圾回收算法

针对非一致性内存访问架构(NUMA)在垃圾回收(GC)过程中存在大量的远程内存读写导致GC性能降低的问题,对GC过程的各个阶段进行分析与研究,提出了一种基于NUMA结构的高效实时稳定的GC算法。该算法首先基于NUMA结构改进传统分代GC机制的堆空间布局,然后通过控制GC过程中扫描活跃对象阶段的初始根对象选取、动态负载均衡阶段截取任务队列的选取以及复制活跃对象阶段对象复制位置的选取,大大减少GC过程中的远程访问次数。这种改进的GC机制对所有NUMA结构具有通用性。以Godson-3处理器的NUMA平台为例进行的实验结果显示,优化的GC机制极大地缩短了GC的时间,而且提高了应用程序的性能以及稳定性。在SPECjvm2008测试中,GC时间平均缩短了14.6%(GC总时间缩短4.1%~41.58%),应用程序的性能平均提升了4.68%(最高提升17.8%),应用程序的性能稳定性提升了76.2%。     

On the approximation of the canard explosion point in singularly perturbed systems without an explicit small parameter

A canard explosion is the dramatic change of period and amplitude of a limit cycle of a system of nonlinear ODEs in a very narrow interval of the bifurcation parameter. It occurs in slow–fast systems and is well understood in singular perturbation problems where a small parameter epsilon defines the time-scale separation. We present an iterative algorithm for the determination of the canard explosion point which can be applied for a general slow–fast system without an explicit small parameter. We also present assumptions under which the algorithm gives accurate estimates of the canard explosion point. Finally, we apply the algorithm to the van der Pol equations, a Templator model for a self-replicating system and a model for intracellular calcium oscillations with no explicit small parameters and obtain very good agreement with results from numerical simulations.     

Effect of working position and cold environment on muscle activation level and fatigue in the upper limb during manual work tasks

Several occupational groups are exposed to periods of low ambient temperatures while performing manual work tasks outdoors. Work tasks typically include heavy lifting, tool handling, and overhead work. This study evaluated the effect of working position and cold environment on muscle activation level (%RMS_max) and fatigue in the upper limb during manual work tasks. Fourteen male participants (25 ± 3 years, 80.9 ± 6.4 kg, 182 ± 5 cm) completed a 2-h test protocol consisting of five test periods alternating with four work periods, wearing identical sets of clothing, under cold (−15 °C) and control (5 °C) conditions. The work periods consisted of manual work at the hip level, manual overhead work, and a lifting exercise. The test periods consisted of isometric maximal voluntary contractions (MVC) and seated rest. Skin temperatures decreased during cold exposure, especially in the extremities. %RMS_max in the forearm was higher in the cold condition both during overhead work and work at the hip level than that for the same work in the control condition, especially at the end of the test when the difference was approximately 25% (equating to 2–3 %RMS_max). For the middle deltoid muscle, the %RMS_max was approximately three times (or 10 %RMS_max) higher during overhead work than work at the hip level, but there was no additional cost of working in the cold. Signs of deltoid muscle fatigue (decrease in electromyography median power frequency and an increase in %RMS_max) were observed during the overhead work periods in both temperature conditions. No decrease in MVC, as a sign of overall muscle fatigue, was observed in either condition.Relevance to industryThis study demonstrated that when wearing suitable cold-weather protective clothing, the adverse effect of work posture is much higher than that of cold on muscle demand and physical strain.     

Generalized F-discrepancy-based point selection strategy for dependent random variables in uncertainty quantification of nonlinear structures

In the performance evaluation of structures under disastrous actions, for example, earthquakes, it is important to take into account the randomness of structural parameters. Generally, these random parameters are treated either as independent or perfectly dependent, but practically they are partly dependent. This article aims at developing a point selection strategy for uncertainty quantification of nonlinear structures involving probabilistically dependent random parameters characterized by copula function. For this purpose, the point selection strategy for structures involving independent basic variables is first revisited. As an improvement, a generalized F-discrepancy diminishing oriented iterative screening algorithm is proposed. Then, combining with the conditional sampling method, a conditional point set rearrangement method and a conditional iterative screening-rearrangement method are proposed for probabilistically dependent variables. These new point selection strategies are readily incorporated into the probability density evolution method for uncertainty quantification of nonlinear structures involving dependent random parameters, which is characterized by copula function. The proposed methods are illustrated by two examples including a shear frame with hysteretic restoring forces and a reinforced concrete frame structure with the damage constitutive model of concrete, where the material parameters are probabilistically dependent. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Problems to be studied are discussed.

Three-stage least squares-based iterative estimation algorithms for bilinear state-space systems based on the bilinear state estimator

Because of the product item of the control input and the state vector, the identification of bilinear systems is difficult. This paper considers the combined parameter and state estimation problems of bilinear state-space systems. On the basis of the observability canonical form and the model transformation, an identification model with a linear combination of the system parameters is obtained. Using the hierarchical principle, the identification model is decomposed into three submodels with fewer variables, and a three-stage least squares-based iterative (3S-LSI) algorithm is presented to estimate the system parameters. Furthermore, we derive a state estimator (SE) for estimating the unknown states, and present an SE-3S-LSI algorithm for estimating the unknown parameters and states simultaneously. After that, the least squares-based iterative algorithm is presented as a comparison. By analyzing the estimation results and the calculation amount, these two algorithms can identify the bilinear system effectively but the 3S-LSI algorithm can improve the computational efficiency. The simulation results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.
