Intermittent microclimate cooling during exercise-heat stress in US army chemical protective clothing

The effectiveness of intermittent, microclimate cooling for men who worked in US Army chemical protective clothing (modified mission-oriented protective posture level 3; MOPP 3) was examined. The hypothesis was that intermittent cooling on a 2 min on-off schedule using a liquid cooling garment (LCG) covering 72% of the body surface area would reduce heat strain comparably to constant cooling. Four male subjects completed three experiments at 30 degrees C, 30% relative humidity wearing the LCG under the MOPP 3 during 80 min of treadmill walking at 224 +/- 5 W . m(-2). Water temperature to the LCG was held constant at 21 degrees C. The experiments were; 1) constant cooling (CC); 2) intermittent cooling at 2-min intervals (IC); 3) no cooling (NC). Core temperature increased (1.6 +/- 0.2 degrees C) in NC, which was greater than IC (0.5 +/- 0.2 degrees C) and CC (0.5 +/- 0.3 degrees C) ( p < 0.05). Mean skin temperature was higher during NC (36.1 +/- 0.4 degrees C) than IC (33.7 +/- 0.6 degrees C) and CC (32.6 +/- 0.6 degrees C) and mean skin temperature was higher during IC than CC ( p < 0.05). Mean heart rate during NC (139 +/- 9 b . min(-1)) was greater than IC (110 +/- 10 b . min(-1)) and CC (107 +/- 9 b . min(-1)) ( p < 0.05). Cooling by conduction (K) during NC (94 +/- 4 W . m(-2)) was lower than IC (142 +/- 7 W . m(-2)) and CC (146 +/- 4 W . m(-2)) ( p < 0.05). These findings suggest that IC provided a favourable skin to LCG gradient for heat dissipation by conduction and reduced heat strain comparable to CC during exercise-heat stress in chemical protective clothing.     

An Efficient Algorithm for Haplotype Inference on?Pedigrees with a Small Number of Recombinants

Combinatorial (or rule-based) methods for inferring haplotypes from genotypes on a pedigree have been studied extensively in the recent literature. These methods generally try to reconstruct the haplotypes of each individual so that the total number of recombinants is minimized in the pedigree. The problem is NP-hard, although it is known that the number of recombinants in a practical dataset is usually very small. In this paper, we consider the question of how to efficiently infer haplotypes on a large pedigree when the number of recombinants is bounded by a small constant, i.e. the so called k-recombinant haplotype configuration (k-RHC) problem. We introduce a simple probabilistic model for k-RHC where the prior haplotype probability of a founder and the haplotype transmission probability from a parent to a child are all assumed to follow the uniform distribution and k random recombination events are assumed to have taken place uniformly and independently in the pedigree. We present an O(mnlog? ^k+1 n) time algorithm for k-RHC on tree pedigrees without mating loops, where m is the number of loci and n is the size of the input pedigree, and prove that when 90log?n<m<n ³, the algorithm can correctly find a feasible haplotype configuration that obeys the Mendelian law of inheritance and requires no more than k recombinants with probability $1 -O(k^{2}\frac{\log^{2}n}{mn}+\frac{1}{n^{2}})$ . The algorithm is efficient when k is of a moderate value and could thus be used to infer haplotypes from genotypes on large tree pedigrees efficiently in practice. We have implemented the algorithm as a C++ program named Tree-k-RHC. The implementation incorporates several ideas for dealing with missing data and data with a large number of recombinants effectively. Our experimental results on both simulated and real datasets show that Tree-k-RHC can reconstruct haplotypes with a high accuracy and is much faster than the best combinatorial method in the literature.     

An investigation of the effects of mix strength on the fracture and fatigue behavior of concrete mortar

This paper examines the effects of mix compressive strength (30, 35 and 40 MPa) on the fracture initiation toughness, resistance-curve behavior and fatigue crack growth behavior of concrete mortar. The fracture initiation toughness and the resistance-curve behavior are shown to increase with increasing mix strength. The observed resistance-curve behavior is then attributed largely to the effects of ligament bridging, which are predicted using small- and large-scale bridging models. In contrast, the fatigue crack growth resistance is shown to decrease with increasing mix strength. An extended multiparameter framework was used for the modeling of fatigue crack growth. Finally, the implications of the results are discussed for the design of concrete mixtures with attractive combinations of strength, fracture toughness and fatigue crack growth resistance.     

Stable multiwavelength dispersion-tuned actively mode-locked erbium-doped fiber ring laser using nonlinear polarization rotation

We demonstrate a stable multiwavelength actively mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser at 10 GHz based on a dispersion cavity and nonlinear polarization rotation (NPR) effect. The dispersion cavity allows simultaneous multiple wavelengths to satisfy the round-trip condition and smooth wavelength tuning, while the NPR ensures the stable operation and supermode noise suppression. A simple model is developed to explore the optimal setting of the cavity. Simultaneous dual- and five-wavelength operation is experimentally investigated.

碳纳米管冷阴极大电流发射机理的研究

本文对碳纳米管冷阴极的场致发射机理进行了理论和实验研究.研究发现,如果场致发射冷阴极的发射面积很小,有可能得到较大的发射电流密度.当发射面积增加时,冷阴极的平均发射电流密度迅速下降,很难得到大的束电流.研究表明,在碳纳米管冷阴极的场致发射现象中,边沿场的场致发射现象起着非常重要作用.如果仅仅增加发射面积,边沿发射电流增加不多,这导致了平均发射电流密度的下降.因此,在阴极结构中增加发射体的边沿,则可有效提高阴极的发射电流.
