Synergistic effect of co-alloying elements on site preferences and elastic properties of Ni3Al: A first-principles study

The site preferences of co-alloying elements (Mo–Ta, Mo–Re, Mo–Cr) in Ni₃Al are studied using first-principles calculations, and the effects of these alloying elements on the elastic properties of Ni₃Al are evaluated by elastic property calculations. The results show that the Mo–Ta, Mo–Re and Mo–Cr atom pairs all prefer Al–Al sites and the spatial neighbor relation of substitution sites almost has no influence on the site preference results. Furthermore, the Young's modulus of Ni₃Al increases much higher by substituting Al–Al sites with co-alloying atoms, among which Mo–Re has the best strengthening effect. The enhanced chemical bondings between alloying atoms and their neighbor host atoms are considered to be the main strengthening mechanism of the alloying elements in Ni₃Al.     

Discovery of Affinity-Based Probes for Btk Occupancy Assays

Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) is an attractive target for the treatment of a wide array of B-cell malignancies and autoimmune diseases. Small-molecule covalent irreversible Btk inhibitors targeting Cys481 have been developed for the treatment of such diseases. In clinical trials, probe molecules are required in occupancy studies to measure the level of engagement of the protein by these covalent irreversible inhibitors. The result of this pharmacodynamic (PD) activity provides guidance for appropriate dosage selection to optimize inhibition of the drug target and correlation of target inhibition with disease treatment efficacy. This information is crucial for successful evaluation of drug candidates in clinical trials. Based on the pyridine carboxamide scaffold of a novel solvent-accessible pocket (SAP) series of covalent irreversible Btk inhibitors, we successfully developed a potent and selective affinity-based biotinylated probe 12 (2-[(4-{4-[5-(1-{5-[(3aS,4S,6aR)-2-oxo-hexahydro-1H-thieno[3,4-d]imidazol-4-yl]pentanamido}-3,6,9,12-tetraoxapentadecan-15-amido)pentanoyl]piperazine-1-carbonyl}phenyl)amino]-6-[1-(prop-2-enoyl)piperidin-4-yl]pyridine-3-carboxamide). Compound 12 has been used in Btk occupancy assays for preclinical studies to determine the therapeutic efficacy of Btk inhibition in two mouse lupus models driven by TLR7 activation and type I interferon.     

Modeling and analysis of hierarchical cellular networks with bidirectional overflow and take-back strategies under generally distributed cell residence times

The rapid growth of wireless services and mobile users drives a great interest in cellular networks with a hierarchical structure. Hierarchical cellular networks (HCNs) can provide high system capacity, efficient channel utilization and inherent load-balancing capability. In this paper, we develop an analytical model and a performance analysis method for a two-layer HCN with bidirectional overflow and take-back strategies. Mobile users are divided into two classes. The call requests (including new and handoff calls) of fast and slow users are preferably assigned to the macrolayer and microlayer, respectively. A call from a fast user or slow user can overflow to its non-preferable layer if there is no channel available. The successful overflow call can be taken back to its preferable layer if a channel becomes available. Since the commonly used exponentially distributed assumption for cell residence time and then the channel occupancy time does not hold for emerging mobile networks, we model various cell residence times by general distributions to adapt to more flexible mobility environments. The channel occupancy times are derived in terms of the Laplace transforms of various cell residence times. The handoff rates, overflow rates and take-back rates of each layer are also derived in terms of the new call arrival rates and related probabilities. The stationary probabilities (and then the performance measures) are determined on the basis of the theory of multi-dimensional loss systems.

大型储罐基础非平面倾斜问题的探讨

大型储罐因基础产生非平面倾斜而影响其正常使用的情况在工程中时有发生,文章通过对某油罐工程中基础沉降观测结果的分析,探讨了储罐基础产生非平面倾斜的原因。相邻储罐之间的相互影响、充水预压未达到规范要求以及地基处理措施不当是引起储罐基础非平面倾斜的主要因素。针对相邻储罐间的相互影响,根据现行《石油化工企业设计防火规范》和《石油化工企业钢储罐地基与基础设计规范》的规定,提出以下建议:储罐布置的净距除应满足防火规范规定外,有条件时也应适当考虑对基础沉降的影响,当采用复合地基时,相邻储罐间的净距不宜小于0.6 D;当占地面积成为主要矛盾,储罐间的净距只能限制在防火规范规定的最小范围时,在地基处理时就应采取有效措施,以尽可能减少相邻储罐的相互影响。
