基于响应面法的丢手释放接头优化设计 by 万锋, 管锋, 王琼

“…In order to optimize the structural strength and weight of the release joint,a multi-objective optimization design method with stress and mass as objective functions was proposed.In this paper,the response surface methodology combined with finite element numerical analysis was used to construct the response surface model of stress and mass respectively with respect to structural parameters,and the interaction between the parameters was analyzed.Based on the response surface models,the optimal structural parameter configuration of the release joint was obtained by multi-objective optimization analysis.The stress of the optimized structure decreased by 19.5% with a slight increase in mass.Numerical and experimental verification shows that the optimized structure is safe and reliable.The proposed design method,which combines the response surface methodology,finite element numerical analysis and experimental testing,can provide reference for the design of similar mechanical or engineering structures.…”

On the estimation of sequestered infected erythrocytes in Plasmodium falciparum malaria patients by Derdei Bichara, Nathalie Cozic, Abderrahman Iggidr

“…Moreover, our constructed observer does not use the uncertain infection rate parameter $\beta$. In fact, we derive a simple method to estimate this parameter $\beta$.We apply this estimation method using real data that have been collected when malaria was used as therapy for neurosyphilis by the US Public Health Service.…”

Genetic history of the Koryaks and Evens of the Magadan region based on Y chromosome polymorphism data by B. A. Malyarchuk, M. V. Derenko

“…The study of the Y chromosome haplogroup diversity has shown that only relatively young phylogenetic branches have been preserved in the Koryak gene pool. The age of the oldest component of the Koryak gene pool (haplogroup C-B90-B91) is estimated to be about 3.8 thousand years, the age of the younger haplogroups Q-B143 and N-B202 is about 2.8 and 2.4 thousand years, respectively. …”
