Mechanism Kinematics Analysis of Two-leg Shield Hydraulic Support by Wang Hongwei, Dong Zhifeng

“…As a multi-linkage mechanism with multi-degree of freedom,the two-leg shield hydraulic support is comprised of beams,fore and rear links and hydraulic cylinders.It can realize supporting roof,protecting coal wall and moving forward under the function of hydraulic power,and plays an important role in coal mining.According to structure and operating characteristics of the two-leg shield hydraulic support,the geometrical relationship and calculations about rear link angle and shield beam angle for the supporting height,head distance,leg length and balance cylinder length are deduced.The differential equation of motion for the hydraulic support is established by the Lagrangian theory,and the support type of ZY17300/32/70 is calculated and analyzed.The relationship between angle displacement and velocity for the rear link angle and shield beam angle along with the motion characteristic of supporting height is obtained.The response characteristics of motion velocity and acceleration for top beam are discussed during the working process of lifting up and down.…”

DNA methylation: a cause and consequence of type 2 diabetes by Mirang Kim

“…Because metabolic intermediates are key factors of DNA methylation and demethylation, perturbations in metabolic homeostasis can trigger alterations in cell-specific patterns of DNA methylation and contribute to disease development, including type 2 diabetes (T2D). During the past decade, genome-wide DNA methylation studies of T2D have expanded our knowledge of the molecular mechanisms underlying T2D. …”
