Dynamics Contact Analysis of the Slewing Reducer Rigid-flexible Coupled based on ABAQUS by Lu Chao, Chen Jie, Hong Rongjing

“…The slewing reducer is widely applied in the field of solar photovoltaic power generation.Aiming at the high probability problem of the contact fatigue strength at the gear surface in all fatigue failure,by using the ABAQUS,the simulation analysis of dynamics contact problem is carried out.In order to simplify the problem and improve the precision of the model,a novel method is proposed.The worm is taken as a rigid body,and the slewing gear is taken as the flexible body,and then the contact fatigue analysis is carried out.The simulation results show that the model tallies with the actual situation,and the analysis results can provide guidance for the design optimization.…”

Neostigmine Attenuates Proinflammatory Cytokine Expression in Preoptic Area but Not Choroid Plexus during Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Systemic Inflammation by Andrzej P. Herman, Dorota Tomaszewska-Zaremba, Marta Kowalewska, Aleksandra Szczepkowska, Małgorzata Oleszkiewicz, Agata Krawczyńska, Maciej Wójcik, Hanna Antushevich, Janina Skipor

“…The study was designed to examine whether the administration of neostigmine (0.5 mg/animal), a peripheral inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), during an immune/inflammatory challenge provoked by intravenous injection of bacterial endotoxin—lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 400 ng/kg)—attenuates the synthesis of proinflammatory cytokines in the ovine preoptic area (POA), the hypothalamic structure playing an essential role in the control of the reproduction process, and in the choroid plexus (CP), a multifunctional organ sited at the interface between the blood and cerebrospinal fluid in the ewe. …”
