Analysis of Dynamics Characteristic of Ring Chain Under Transmission Fault Loading by Song Ruihan, Xue He, Cui Yinghao, Wang Ting, Li Kai

“…Aiming at the transient impact of the abrupt load on the ring chain under the fault of the scraper conveyor chain jammed,taking the Φ18 mm×64 mm C class mining ring chain as the research object,by using the ANSYS/LS-DYNA finite element software,the nonlinear chain contact dynamics analysis under the condition of the chain jammed is performed,the change law of the acceleration,velocity,energy and contact force of the ring chain and the main position of the ring chain damage are obtained. …”

Pattern Formation in a Cross-Diffusive Ratio-Dependent Predator-Prey Model by Xinze Lian, Yanhong Yue, Hailing Wang

“…Furthermore, we present novel numerical evidence of time evolution of patterns controlled by self- and cross-diffusion in the model and find that the model dynamics exhibits a cross-diffusion controlled formation growth to spots, stripes, and spiral wave pattern replication, which show that reaction-diffusion model is useful to reveal the spatial predation dynamics in the real world.…”

The Effect of Malrotation of Tibial Component of Total Knee Arthroplasty on Tibial Insert during High Flexion Using a Finite Element Analysis by Kei Osano, Ryuji Nagamine, Mitsugu Todo, Makoto Kawasaki

“…The objective of this study is to analyze the effect of malrotation of tibial component for the stress on tibial insert during high flexion using a finite element analysis. We used Stryker NRG PS for analysis. Three different initial conditions of tibial component including normal, 15° internal malrotation, and 15° external malrotation were analyzed. …”

Pattern Formation in a Cross-Diffusive Holling-Tanner Model by Weiming Wang, Zhengguang Guo, R. K. Upadhyay, Yezhi Lin

“…Furthermore, we present novel numerical evidence of time evolution of patterns controlled by self- as well as cross-diffusion in the model, and find that the model dynamics exhibits a cross-diffusion controlled formation growth not only to spots, but also to strips, holes, and stripes-spots replication. And the methods and results in the present paper may be useful for the research of the pattern formation in the cross-diffusive model.…”

“Revealing what cannot be spoken” – Gabriel Josipovici’s Short Stories as Illustrations of Transcendental Negativity by Werner Wolf

“…This is followed by three interpretations of exemplary texts from his formative period, the 1970s: “He” (1977), the ‘self-begetting’ story of the creation of an elegy; the classic “Mobius the Stripper” (1974), which is his best-known story; and finally “The Reconstruction” (1974) as one of Josipovici’s most minimalist works, in which short fiction approaches the condition of drama. …”
