两类特殊管状曲面的研究

参数曲线曲面的参数化直接决定了其代数性质,如正则性,而在计算机辅助几何设计中,自交现象却是一类不能直接应用的非正则性问题.管状曲面作为一类重要的几何造型,主要研究管道曲面和正交环面.在正则管状曲面的研究基础上,迫切着手对两类特殊的非正则管状曲面的自交问题展开研究,主要通过代数方法分析各自在数学上的几何特性,从而在理论上明确自交区域的去除部分,为将来准确去除自交提供支撑.     

Activin A-Smad Signaling Mediates Connective Tissue Growth Factor Synthesis in Liver Progenitor Cells

Liver progenitor cells (LPCs) are activated in chronic liver damage and may contribute to liver fibrosis. Our previous investigation reported that LPCs produced connective tissue growth factor (CTGF/CCN2), an inducer of liver fibrosis, yet the regulatory mechanism of the production of CTGF/CCN2 in LPCs remains elusive. In this study, we report that Activin A is an inducer of CTGF/CCN2 in LPCs. Here we show that expression of both Activin A and CTGF/CCN2 were upregulated in the cirrhotic liver, and the expression of Activin A positively correlates with that of CTGF/CCN2 in liver tissues. We go on to show that Activin A induced de novo synthesis of CTGF/CCN2 in LPC cell lines LE/6 and WB-F344. Furthermore, Activin A contributed to autonomous production of CTGF/CCN2 in liver progenitor cells (LPCs) via activation of the Smad signaling pathway. Smad2, 3 and 4 were all required for this induction. Collectively, these results provide evidence for the fibrotic role of LPCs in the liver and suggest that the Activin A-Smad-CTGF/CCN2 signaling in LPCs may be a therapeutic target of liver fibrosis.     

Seismic Behavior of Concrete Columns Reinforced by Steel-FRP Composite Bars

Steel-fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite bars (SFCBs) are a novel reinforcement for concrete structures. Because of the FRP’s linear elastic characteristic and high ultimate strength, they can achieve a stable postyield stiffness even after the inner steel bar has yielded, which subsequently enables a performance-based seismic design to easily be implemented. In this study, lateral cyclic loading tests of concrete columns reinforced either by SFCBs or by ordinary steel bars were conducted with axial compression ratios of 0.12. The main variable parameters were the FRP type (basalt or carbon FRP) and the steel/FRP ratio of the SFCBs. The test results showed the following: (1)?compared with ordinary RC columns, SFCB-reinforced concrete columns had a stable postyield stiffness after the SFCB’s inner steel bar yielded; (2)?because of the postyield stiffness of the SFCB, the SFCB-reinforced concrete columns exhibited less column-base curvature demand than ordinary RC columns for a given column cap lateral deformation. Thus, reduced unloading residual deformation (i.e., higher postearthquake reparability) of SFCB columns could be achieved; (3)?the outer FRP type of SFCB had a direct influence on the performance of SFCB-reinforced concrete columns, and concrete columns reinforced with steel-basalt FRP (BFRP) composite bars exhibited better ductility (i.e., a longer effective length of postyield stiffness) and a smaller unloading residual deformation under the same unloading displacement when compared with steel-carbon FRP (CFRP) composite bar columns; (4)?the degradation of the unloading stiffness by an ordinary RC column based on the Takeda (TK) model was only suitable at a certain lateral displacement. In evaluating the reparability of important structures at the small plastic deformation stage, the TK model estimated a much smaller residual displacement, which is unsafe for important structures.
