Transverse Vibration of Rotating Tapered Cantilever Beam with Hollow Circular Cross-Section by Zhongmin Wang, Rongrong Li

“…Combining with discretization equations for the differential equation and boundary conditions, an eigen-equation of the system including some dimensionless parameters is formulated in implicit algebraic form, so it is easy to simulate the dynamical behaviors of rotating tapered beams. Finally, for rotating solid tapered beams, comparisons with previously reported results demonstrate that the results obtained by the present method are in close agreement; for rotating tapered hollow beams, the effects of the hub dimensionless angular speed, ratios of hub radius to beam length, the slenderness ratio, the ratio of inner radius to the root radius, and taper ratio of cross-section on the first three-order dimensionless natural frequencies are more further depicted.…”

Electroconvulsive shock and transcranial magnetic stimulation do not alter the survival or spine density of adult-born striatal neurons. by Tara Gaertner, Tian Rui Zhang, Baran Askari, Fidel Vila-Rodriguez, Jason S Snyder

“…Adult neurogenesis has most often been studied in the hippocampus and subventricular zone-olfactory bulb, where newborn neurons contribute to a variety of behaviors. A handful of studies have also investigated adult neurogenesis in other brain regions, but relatively little is known about the properties of neurons added to non-canonical areas. …”

Traffic Prediction-Based Fast Rerouting Algorithm for Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks by Zhiyuan Li, Junlei Bi, Siguang Chen

“…When the predicted value is greater than the predefined network traffic threshold, both adaptive retransmission trigger (ART) that contributes to switch to a better alternate path in time and trigger efficient retransmission behaviors are enabled. Performance comparison of TPFR with ant-based multi-QoS routing (AntSensNet) and power efficient multimedia routing (PEMuR) shows that they: (a) maximize the overall network lifespan by load balancing and not draining energy from some specific nodes, (b) provide high quality of service delivery for multimedia streams by switching to a better path towards a sink node in time, (c) reduce useless data retransmissions when node failures or link breaks occur, and (d) maintain lower routing overhead.…”
