    Large time behavior of a solution for the modified Navier-Stokes equations
    FENG Zhen-zhen;WU Luo
    2010, 2010 (5):  56-66. 
    Abstract ( 2645 )   PDF (284KB) ( 1324 )   Save
    In 1966, O. A. Ladyzhenskaya proposed a kind of modified Navier-Stokes equations to describe the three-dimensional nonstationary flows of viscous incompressible fluids without assuming small gradients of the velocities. This paper considered large time behavior of a solution for the modified Navier-Stokes equations in a bounded domain and showed that decay of the solution is exactly of exponential type when force term is equal to zero.
    Moreover the ratio of the enstrophy over the energy has a limit as time tends to infinity, and the limit is an eigenvalue of the Stokes operator.

    Stability of peakons for the DGH equation
    CHEN Hui-ping
    2010, 2010 (5):  67-72, . 
    Abstract ( 2717 )   PDF (314KB) ( 1643 )   Save
    The peakons are peaked solitary wave solutions of a certain nolinear dispersive equation that is a model in shallow water theory. In this paper, the author showed that the peaked solitons to the DGH equation were orbital stable in H^1 norm by constructing a functional and conservation laws. The stability theorem indicates that, if a wave is close to the peakons at the beginning, it will remain close to some translate of it at any time later.

    Abstract ( 2237 )   PDF (729KB) ( 1486 )   Save
    A concrete nonlinear system with degree two and the least dimension (=3) was firstly given, and it was shown that the system has a heterodimensional cycle with double orbit flips. Then, by using Silnikov coordinates and moving frame, the bifurcation of the cycle was studied under the perturbation of degree three. The method given here provides a useful reference for constructing homoclinic, heteroclinic and heterodimensional cycles with various other kinds of degeneracy.

    Abstract ( 2719 )   PDF (184KB) ( 1235 )   Save
    Let C be the Cantor ternary set. The condition of the intersection C\cap (C+t)\cap (C+s)\neq\emptyset was considered and the Hausdorff dimension of (t,s) was computed when the intersection was nonempty. A conclusion was proved: dim_H C\cap (C+t)\cap (C+s)=0 for a.e. (t,s)\in{\bf R}\times {\bf R}. Then by a related result of Moran set, the expression of dim_H C\cap (C+t)\cap (C+s) was investigated.

    2010, 2010 (5):  96-102. 
    Abstract ( 2558 )   PDF (2535KB) ( 1378 )   Save
    This paper proposed a new tree alignment algorithm for determining the optimal matching structure of the input web pages, in order to extract web data automatically. Based on the alignment, the trees were merged into one union tree whose nodes record statistical information obtained from multiple web pages. The algorithm detects repeating patterns on the union tree, and a wrapper built on the most probable content block and the repeating patterns extracts data from web pages. Experimental results showed that the proposed algorithm achieves high extraction accuracy and has steady performance.

    Abstract ( 2890 )   PDF (1153KB) ( 1289 )   Save
    Br2 doped PANI was synthesised by chemical oxidation method and absorption of bromine vapor. MWNTs/PANI and MWNTs/Br2 doped PANI composites were prepared by mechanical blending method, The new composite exhibits as high electrical conductivity as that of pure MWNTs. 5~10 S·m^-1. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermo gravimetric (TG), ultraviolet-visible absorption spectra (UV-Vis), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and X-ray spectroscopy (XPS) were used to study the electrical conductivity properties and mechanism. The results showed that π-π and p-π system is formed between MWNTs and doped PANI . MWNTs combined with the Br2 doped PANI to form charge transfer composites, then form individual conductive units, which play a critical role in forming the conducting net of composites. With the increase of conductive units, conducting system is formed by conductive unit connection and the conductivity of composites reaches the maximum.

    Abstract ( 2786 )   PDF (567KB) ( 1447 )   Save
    The electrical conductivity of polyphenylacetylene (PPA) was enhaced by eleven orders of magnitude after absorption of bromine vapor. TG, UV-Vis spectra, and XPS spectra were used to study the interaction among bromine, nano-graphite and PPA. According to the results, bromine played a major role to enhance the conductivity of the composites when the weight percentage of bromine doped graphite was low. When the weight percentage of bromine doped graphite was high, the doping effect formed by bromine doped nanographite and bromine doped PPA, was the main point to enhance the conductivity. When the weight percentage of bromine doped nano-graphite was higher, the conductive network formed by bromine doped nano-graphite, played a major role.

    Abstract ( 2403 )   PDF (1708KB) ( 2118 )   Save
    Monodisperse polystyrene (PS) colloidal particles were prepared by a quick emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization (EFEP) method, and their highly ordered colloidal crystals were fabricated by both centrifugal method and vertical surface method. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and VIS-UV were used to study the topography, structure and optical properties of the colloidal crystals. The resulting planar samples by centrifugal method were distinctly thicker than that by vertical surface method. PS colloidal crystals by centrifugal method with a velocity of 1 000 r/min and a temperature of 40 ℃ exhibited a highly ordered three-dimensional structure. The optimized assembly conditions were discussed via samples’ optical properties and the transmission spectra showed the peak wavelength suffered a shift with the change of the PS spheres’ diameter.

    Abstract ( 2157 )   PDF (1550KB) ( 1776 )   Save
    Poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) produced by fermentation of Bacillus sp was studied as a potential novel green scale inhibitor. The effects of γ-PGA concentration, molecular weight of γ-PGA, temperature, pH and Ca2+concentration on the scale inhibiting rate of γ-PGA were respectively analyzed using static anti-scaling method, and the structural characterization of scale inhibiting products and possible mechanism were investigated. The results reveal that both large molecular γ-PGA and small molecular γ-PGA have inhibiting efficiency. More specifically, small molecular γPGA shows the better inhibiting efficiency with their lowest concentration to get 100% inhibiting efficiency from scale of CaSO4 and CaCO3 being 4 mg/L and 2 mg/L respectively, while large molecular γ-PGA to get the same efficiency in the same condition is 20 mg/L respectively.

    Experimental study on the damage of glucose fluctuation on cultured human L02 hepatocytes

    Abstract ( 2318 )   PDF (460KB) ( 1908 )   Save
    The goal of this study is to investigate the effects of glucose fluctuation on cultured human L02 hepatocytes in vitro and discuss its possible mechanism. Cultured cells were randomly divided into 4 groups: normal (N), high glucose (HG), glucose fluctuation (GF) and osmotic pressure (OP). After 72 hours, alanine transferase (ALT), aspartate amino transferase (AST) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the medium were measured. In the cells, glycogen, glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), Na+K+-ATP and Ca2+Mg2+-ATP enzyme activities were detected. In addition, cell membrane fluidity was also detected. Compared with the N group, the activities of ALT,AST and LDH in the HG and GF groups increased markedly, while the activities of GSH, SOD, Na+K+-ATP and Ca2+ Mg2+-ATP enzymes were decreased significantly. The contents of glycogen and MDA in the cells of HG and GF groups were increased obviously, while cell membrane fluidity was decreased markedly (all p<0.01). There are also significantly statistical differences between the HG and GF groups(all p<0.01). Our results demonstrate that glucose fluctuation can change the permeability of cell membrane, lead to the leakage of enzymes and cause marked oxidative damage and cell toxicity in human L02 hepatocytes. Moreover, the deleterious effects of GF on the L02 cells are significantly higher than that of the HG group.
