STUDY ON FATIGUE LIFE OF HYDRAULIC TENSION BAR OF SHEARERS by HAO ZhiYong, LEI YaoLong, MAO Jun, ZHANG FengJia

“…The maximum stress point is close to the end point at the root of the first thread tooth,of which the number is 1386 MPa,the triple thread teeth bear over 50% of the full load; the position on which fatigue crack occurs first is at the root of the thread teeth in the screw part of the hydraulic tension bar; assuming that the daily continuously working time for shear is 12 hours,the hydraulic tension bar starts to crack at the 53 rdday. This research provides load data for hydraulic tension bar structural design,and also offers a new method of operating load monitor for shears.…”

Carcinogenesis and Chemotherapy Viewed from the Perspective of Stoichiometric Network Analysis (SNA): What Can the Biological System of the Elements Contribute to an Understanding... by Stefan Franzle, Bernd Markert

“…The biological application of stoichiometric network analysis (SNA) permits an understanding of tumour induction, carcinogenesis, and chemotherapy. Starting from the Biological System of the Elements, which provides a comprehensive treatment of the functions and distributions of chemical (trace) elements in biology, an attempt is made to interrelate the essential feature of biology and — regrettably — of tumour genesis by superimposing SNA reasoning on common features of all crucial biological processes. …”

Just noticeable distortion model based on entropy masking in DCT domain by Qionghua LUO, Hongkui WANG, Haibing YIN, Yafen XING

“…In order to improve the threshold accuracy of JND (just noticeable distortion) model in DCT (discrete cosine transform) domain and avoid cross-domain operation, entropy masking effect was introduced into DCT-based JND model.Firstly, starting from the free-energy theory and the Bayesian inference, an autoregressive model based on texture-energy similarity in DCT domain was designed to simulate the spontaneous prediction behavior of visual perception.Secondly, the mapping relationship between visual perception and prediction residuals were explored to obtain the disorder intensity in block level.Thirdly, the entropy masking effect was modeled as a JND threshold modulation factor of disorder intensity.Finally, the JND model in DCT domain for the entropy masking was proposed by fusing the contrast sensitivity function, the luminance adaptive masking, the contrast masking.Compared with the existing JND model in DCT domain, the proposed model performed all operations in DCT domain, which was more efficient and concise.The subjective and objective experimental results indicate that the proposed JND model shows greater tolerance to distortion with better perceptual quality.…”
