Feng Zhou,Rui-Feng Bo,Hong-Zhong Huang,Dan Ling,Qiang Miao 대한기계학회 2006 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.20 No.10

Workflow systems have benefited the enterprise and customer in many aspects. But with the increasing complexity of the system, workflow design becomes a complicated and time-consuming process. In this paper, we model the system based on the Hierarchical Colored Petri Nets (HCPN) to avoid the complexity of the system, and the super nets of the model are abstracted as independent components to increase the flexibility, acceptability and maintainability of the system. Another important characteristic of this model is its convenience for reuse and workflow mining. The development process of the overhead traveling crane was given to demonstrate the proposed method.

Rui-Feng Zhao,Bo Ren,Guo-Peng Zhang,Zhong-Xia Liu,Jian-Jian Zhang 성균관대학교(자연과학캠퍼스) 성균나노과학기술원 2018 NANO Vol.13 No.09

The CrCuFeMnNi high entropy alloy (HEA) powder was synthesized by mechanical alloying. The effects of milling time and subsequent annealing on the structure evolution, thermostability and magnetic property were investigated. After 50 h of milling, the CrCuFeMnNi HEA powder consisted of a major FCC phase and a small amount of BCC phase. The crystallite size and strain lattice of 50 h-ball-milled CrCuFeMnNi HEA powder were 12 nm and 1.02%, respectively. The powder exhibited refined morphology and excellent chemical homogeneity. The supersaturated solid solution structure of the as-milled HEA powder transformed into FCC1, FCC2, a small amount of BCC and ρ phase in annealed state. Most of the BCC phase decomposed into FCC (mainly FCC2 phase) and ρ phases, and the dynamic phase transition was almost in equilibrium at 900 ℃. The saturated magnetization and coercivity force of the 50 h-ball-milled CrCuFeMnNi HEA powder were respectively 16.1 emu/g and 56.2 Oe.

Experimental and numerical investigation on the flow and heat transfer characteristics in a tree-like branching microchannel

Linqi Shui,Bo Huang,Feng Gao,Hongbin Rui 대한기계학회 2018 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.32 No.2

A T-shaped tree-like branching microchannel is designed for gas turbine blade cooling. The conjugate heat transfer characteristics of air coolant are investigated experimentally. To compare the flow and thermal performance of steam and air coolant numerically, the SSG turbulence model is adopted. The results reveal that the heat transfer coefficient is gradually increased through the whole branching microchannel. The conjugate heat transfer effects lead to a heat transfer suppression in the entrance region but an enhancement in the channel terminal region. The flow and heat transfer trend of steam and air are similar, however, compare to air, steam has a 49.2 % higher average Nusselt number and 31.8 % lower friction factor under the same inlet mass flow rate. Under a low mass flow rate condition, the steam cooling shows a smaller maximum temperature difference and better uniform cooling performance.

Genetic diversity and origin of Dendrothrips minowai (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) in Guizhou, China

Zhao-yun Lyu,Jun-rui Zhi,Yu-feng Zhou,Ze-hong Meng,Wen-bo Yue 한국응용곤충학회 2016 Journal of Asia-Pacific Entomology Vol.19 No.4

In this study, we explored the population genetics of Dendrothrips minowai Priesner, one of themost destructive horticultural pests, in Guizhou Province of China. We have analyzed the data of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene sequences of D. minowai from 27 populations sampled over two years in Guizhou. The results confirmed that the thrips retained moderate levels of genetic diversity (including number of haplotypes, haplotype diversity and nucleotide diversity). Three population groups could be identified according to spatial analysis of molecular variance (SAMOVA). A similar tendency was found according to phylogenetic trees. The AMOVA revealed that N52% and 38% of variationwas attributed to groups and individualswithin populations, respectively. Gene flow among populations, estimated using the coalescent method, was relatively high (M = 196.8–825.4). Star-like networks and the demographic analysis (including neutrality testing and mismatch distribution) indicated that thrips underwent a recent population expansion in Guizhou and began to diverge in the Late Pleistocene. The results provided evidence that the eastern region of Guizhou was the source area for the species.

CircZNF609 Aggravated Myocardial Ischemia Reperfusion Injury via Mediation of miR-214-3p/PTGS2 Axis

Wen-Qiang Tang,Feng-Rui Yang,Ke-Min Chen,Huan Yang,Yu Liu,Bo Dou 대한심장학회 2022 Korean Circulation Journal Vol.52 No.9

Background and Objectives: Circular RNAs were known to play vital role in myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (MIRI), while the role of CircZNF609 in MIRI remains unclear. This study was aimed to investigate the function of CircZNF609 in MIRI. Methods: Hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) model was established to mimic MIRI in vitro. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction was performed to evaluate gene transcripts. Cellular localization of CircZNF609 and miR-214-3p were visualized by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Cell proliferation was determined by CCK-8. TUNEL assay and flow cytometry were applied to detect apoptosis. Lactate dehydrogenase was determined by commercial kit. ROS was detected by DCFH-DA probe. Direct interaction of indicated molecules was determined by RIP and dual luciferase assays. Western blot was used to quantify protein levels. In vivo model was established to further test the function of CircZNF609 in MIRI. Results: CircZNF609 was upregulated in H/R model. Inhibition of CircZNF609 alleviated H/R induced apoptosis, ROS generation, restored cell proliferation in cardiomyocytes and human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Mechanically, CircZNF609 directly sponged miR-214-3p to release PTGS2 expression. Functional rescue experiments showed that miR-214-3p/PTGS2 axis was involved in the function of circZNG609 in H/R model. Furthermore, data in mouse model revealed that knockdown of CircZNF609 significantly reduced the area of myocardial infarction and decreased myocardial cell apoptosis. Conclusions: CircZNF609 aggravated the progression of MIRI via targeting miR-214-3p/PTGS2 axis, which suggested CircZNF609 might act as a vital modulator in MIRI.

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Uniform, monodisperse yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) rhombic dodecahedron micro-crystals were synthesized using coprecipitation and hydrothermal methods. The Na<SUB>2</SUB>SO<SUB>4</SUB> as a surfactant was helpful in improving the dispersity of the crystallites and forming well-faceted, micro-sized dodecahedral YAG crystallites. The effect of the reaction time and the solvent has also been studied. The crystal growth mechanism called dissolution/crystallization was determined by analyzing the experimental and simulated results. And the specific well-developed crystal facets in the {110} family have been demonstrated by the theoretical calculation. A higher integrated emission intensity can be achieved for the YAG:Ce crystallites by improving the phase purity, morphology with better developed dodecahedrons, and dispersion. Furthermore, a rather high luminous efficacy (LE = 104.14 lm/W) for the white LED fabricated using the YAG:Ce<SUP>3+</SUP> phosphor prepared in this work was realized. The correlation between the crystal growth, morphology and luminescence properties of YAG crystallites has been established, which exhibits a great importance for the synthesis and application of mono-dispersed YAG crystallites.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Uniform and monodisperse YAG rhombic dodecahedron micro-crystals were synthesized. </LI> <LI> The growth mechanism of YAG rhombic dodecahedron was studied through experimental and computational simulation. </LI> <LI> The correlation between the crystal growth, morphology and luminescence of YAG crystallites was established. </LI> </UL> </P> <P><B>Graphical abstract</B></P> <P>[DISPLAY OMISSION]</P>

Concept Optimization for Mechanical Product Using Genetic Algorithm

Hong-Zhong Huang,Rui-Feng Bo,Xiang-Feng Fan 대한기계학회 2005 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.19 No.5

Conceptual design is the first step in the overall process of product design. Its intrinsic uncertainty, imprecision, and lack of information lead to the fact that current conceptual design activities in engineering have not been computerized and very few CAD systems are available to support conceptual design. In most of the current intelligent design systems, approach of principle synthesis, such as morphology matrix, bond graphic, or design catalogues, is usually adopted to deal with the concept generation, in which optional concepts are generally combined and enumerated through function analysis. However, as a large number of concepts are generated, it is difficult to evaluate and optimize these design candidates using regular algorithm. It is necessary to develop a new approach or a tool to solve the concept generation. Generally speaking, concept generation is a problem of concept synthesis. In substance, this process of developing design candidate is a combinatorial optimization process, viz., the process of concept generation can be regarded as a solution for a state-place composed of multi-concepts. In this paper, genetic algorithm is utilized as a feasible tool to solve the problem of combinatorial optimization in concept generation, in which the encoding method of morphology matrix based on function analysis is applied, and a sequence of optimal concepts are generated through the search and iterative process which is controlled by genetic operators, including selection, crossover, mutation, and reproduction in GA. Several crucial problems on GA are discussed in this paper, such as the calculation of fitness value and the criteria for heredity termination, which have a heavy effect on selection of better concepts. The feasibility and intellectualization of the proposed approach are demonstrated with an engineering case. In this work concept generation is implemented using GA, which can facilitate not only generating several better concepts, but also selecting the best concept. Thus optimal concepts can be conveniently developed and design efficiency can be greatly improved.
