Time periodic pulse electroosmotic flow of Jeffrey fluids in a circular microchannel under the depletion effect

Dongsheng Li,Kun Li 대한기계학회 2022 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.36 No.4

We used the Laplace transform method to investigate the time periodic pulse electroosmotic flow (EOF) of linear viscoelastic fluids through a circular microchannel driven by pulse. Among them, the viscoelastic fluids and pulse are described by Jeffrey fluids and rectangle pulse, respectively. In addition, we focus on the depletion effect caused by the interaction of Jeffrey fluids macro-molecules with the channel surface. The overall flow is divided into two layers: the depletion layer (noted as layer I) and the bulk flow outside the depletion layer (noted as layer II). And the velocity expressions of the above two layers are obtained by calculation respectively. The research results show that for any pulse width a , the velocity in different layers will tend to a steady state with time. The larger the pulse width a , the longer it takes to reach a steady state. In the layer II, longer retardation time 2λ will result in the fluid taking a short time from a static state to a flowing state. The time required for the fluid in layer II to reach the flowing state is longer than that in layer I. Increasing the density ratio ρ and viscosity ratio γ will lead to the velocity amplitude to decrease. The effect of these two parameters on the velocity amplitude will gradually weaken with the passage of time. The above conclusions have certain theoretical guiding significance for the transportation of biological fluids in microfluidic systems driven by pulses.

Dongsheng Zhu,Xinfang Li,Nan Wang,Xianju Wang,Jinwei Gao,Hua Li 한국물리학회 2009 Current Applied Physics Vol.9 No.1

Nanofluid is a kind of new engineering material consisting of solid nanoparticles with sizes typically of 1–100 nm suspended in base fluids. In this study, Al2O3–H2O nanofluids were synthesized, their dispersion behaviors and thermal conductivity in water were investigated under different pH values and different sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) concentration. The sedimentation kinetics was determined by examining the absorbency of particle in solution. The zeta potential and particle size of the particles were measured and the Derjaguin–Landau–Verwey–Overbeek (DLVO) theory was used to calculate attractive and repulsive potentials. The thermal conductivity was measured by a hot disk thermal constants analyser. The results showed that the stability and thermal conductivity enhancements of Al2O3–H2O nanofluids are highly dependent on pH values and different SDBS dispersant concentration of nano-suspensions, with an optimal pH value and SDBS concentration for the best dispersion behavior and the highest thermal conductivity. The absolute value of zeta potential and the absorbency of nano-Al2O3 suspensions with SDBS dispersant are higher at pH 8.0. The calculated DLVO interparticle interaction potentials verified the experimental results of the pH effect on the stability behavior. The Al2O3–H2O nanofluids with an ounce of Al2O3 have noticeably higher thermal conductivity than the base fluid without nanoparticles, for Al2O3 nanoparticles at a weight fraction of 0.0015 (0.15 wt%), thermal conductivity was enhanced by up to 10.1%.

Dongsheng Li,Junbo Shao,Jinping Ou,Yanlei Wang 국제구조공학회 2017 Smart Structures and Systems, An International Jou Vol.19 No.2

Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) has received widespread attention in the field of civil engineering because of its superior durability and corrosion resistance. This article presents the damage mechanisms of a novelty composite called carbon nanofiber modified flax fiber polymer (CNF-modified FFRP). The ability of acoustic emission (AE) to detect damage evolution for different configurations of specimens under uniaxial tension was examined, and some useful AE characteristic parameters were obtained. Test results shows that the mechanical properties of modified composites are associated with the CNF content and the evenness of CNF dispersed in the epoxy matrix. Various damage mechanisms was established by means of scanning electron microscope images. The fuzzy c-means clustering were proposed to classify AE events into groups representing different generation mechanisms. The classifiers are constructed using the traditional AE features - six parameters from each burst. Amplitude and peak-frequency were selected as the best cluster-definition features from these AE parameters. After comprehensive comparison, a correlation between these AE events classes and the damage mechanisms observed was proposed.

Composite of Indium and Polysorbate 20 as Inhibitor for Zinc Corrosion in Alkaline Solution

Li, Xiaoping,Liang, Man,Zhou, Hebing,Huang, Qiming,Lv, Dongsheng,Li, Weishan Korean Chemical Society 2012 Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society Vol.33 No.5

The combined use of indium and polysorbate 20 (Tween 20) was considered as a new inhibition technique for zinc corrosion. Zn and Zn-In alloy coatings were prepared by electrodeposition and their morphology and composition were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). The corrosion inhibition effect of indium and Tween 20 on zinc was investigated by polarization curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The corrosion inhibition efficiencies obtained from Tafel and EIS analyses are well in agreement. Zinc corrosion can be inhibited to some extent by the individual use of indium and Tween 20 and higher corrosion inhibition efficiency can be obtained by the combined use of indium and Tween 20.

Dynamic processes of hyporheic exchange and temperature distribution in the riparian zone in response to dam-induced water fluctuations

Dongsheng Liu,Jian Zhao,Xiaobing Chen,Yingyu Li,Shipan Weiyan,Mengmeng Feng 한국지질과학협의회 2018 Geosciences Journal Vol.22 No.3

We examined the dynamic processes of hyporheic exchange and temperature distribution in a riparian zone in response to low-temperature water fluctuations downstream of the Xin’an River Dam, China, using analytical and mainly hydrodynamic methods. For this purpose, we installed six HM21 piezometers (R, P1–P5) between the river water and the groundwater at an interval of approximately 2 m perpendicular to the flow path. We also installed 20 PT100 thermistors (T1–T20) along the transect at depths of 1.19 m to 3.58 m and monitored the temperatures of river and air. Water levels and temperatures were automatically logged every 5 min by the real-time system from November to December 2014 and sent to the remote platform through the remote terminal unit. Results revealed that the intensity and direction of the hyporheic exchange (Q) between the river water and the groundwater varied periodically (t = 1 d) with the water level of the river. In each cycle, the Q was in a counterclockwise loop curve with the water level of the river and with the non-uniform distribution along the transect perpendicular to the river, which showed that the farther the lateral exchange was away from the river, the lower its intensity and the more hysteretic the alteration of its direction. The daily exchange width and residence time had no necessary connection with the average river stage, but mainly depended on the amplitude of the fluctuating river stage and the duration of river infiltration and established a strong linear relationship with their product. The temperature distribution of the riparian aquifer was mainly affected by the surface radiation and river water infiltration. It was characterized as “cool on the surface and warm at the bottom” in the vertical direction and could be divided into low-, medium-, and high-temperature zones along the horizontal direction. The horizontal infiltration distance (L) increased by power functions with the increase in infiltration rate (v) and decrease in river temperature (T).

Helicobacter pylori inhibited cell proliferation in human periodontal ligament fibroblasts through the Cdc25C/CDK1/cyclinB1 signaling cascade

Li, Huanying,Liang, Dongsheng,Hu, Naiming,Dai, Xingzhu,He, Jianing,Zhuang, Hongmin,Zhao, Wanghong Korean Academy of Periodontology 2019 Journal of Periodontal & Implant Science Vol.49 No.3

Purpose: Several studies have shown that the oral cavity is a secondary location for Helicobacter pylori colonization and that H. pylori is associated with the severity of periodontitis. This study investigated whether H. pylori had an effect on the periodontium. We established an invasion model of a standard strain of H. pylori in human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (hPDLFs), and evaluated the effects of H. pylori on cell proliferation and cell cycle progression. Methods: Different concentrations of H. pylori were used to infect hPDLFs, with 6 hours of co-culture. The multiplicity of infection in the low- and high-concentration groups was 10:1 and 100:1, respectively. The Cell Counting Kit-8 method and Ki-67 immunofluorescence were used to detect cell proliferation. Flow cytometry, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and western blots were used to detect cell cycle progression. In the high-concentration group, the invasion of H. pylori was observed by transmission electron microscopy. Results: It was found that H. pylori invaded the fibroblasts, with cytoplasmic localization. Analyses of cell proliferation and flow cytometry showed that H. pylori inhibited the proliferation of periodontal fibroblasts by causing G2 phase arrest. The inhibition of proliferation and G2 phase arrest were more obvious in the high-concentration group. In the low-concentration group, the G2 phase regulatory factors cyclin dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) and cell division cycle 25C (Cdc25C) were upregulated, while cyclin B1 was inhibited. However, in the high-concentration group, cyclin B1 was upregulated and CDK1 was inhibited. Furthermore, the deactivated states of tyrosine phosphorylation of CDK1 (CDK1-Y15) and serine phosphorylation of Cdc25C (Cdc25C-S216) were upregulated after H. pylori infection. Conclusions: In our model, H. pylori inhibited the proliferation of hPDLFs and exerted an invasive effect, causing G2 phase arrest via the Cdc25C/CDK1/cyclin B1 signaling cascade. Its inhibitory effect on proliferation was stronger in the high-concentration group.

Individual-based Competition Analysis for Secondary Forest in Northeast China

Li, Fengri,Chen, Dongsheng,Lu, Jun Korean Society of Forest Science 2008 한국산림과학회지 Vol.97 No.5

The data of crown width with 4 directions, DBH, tree height, and coordinate for sample trees were collected from 30 permanent sample plots in secondary fore st of the Maoershan Experimental Forestry Farm, Northeast China. In this paper, the competition of individual trees in stand were discussed for secondary forest by using iterative Hegyi competition index and crown overlap index that represented the competitive and cooperative interactions among neighboring trees. Active competitors of subject tree in the competition zone were selected to calculate the iterative competition index. Using the results of crown classification based on the equal crown projection area, a new distance dependent competition index called crown overlap index (COI) was developed for secondary forest. The COI performed well in describing the crown competition rather than crown competition factor (CCF). The individual-based competition index discussed in this paper will provide more precise for developing individual tree growth models for secondary forest and it can also use to adjust the stand structure for spatial optimal management.

Will a Wiener Filter Decrease the Accuracy of HRTEM Displacement Measurements of Aperiodic Structures?

Gen Li,Dongsheng Song,Zhenyu Liao,Jing Zhu 한국물리학회 2019 THE JOURNAL OF THE KOREAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY Vol.74 No.12

Modern Cs-corrected high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) has pushed the resolution limit to sub-angstrom scale and has made possible the quantitative analyses of local aperiodic atomic structures. After images have been obtained, a Wiener filter is often used to improve the signal-to-noise ratio, especially for those samples containing both crystal and large amorphous components. However, a Wiener filter may introduce distortions in the original experimental images. From this point of view, having a fundamental understanding of the effect of a Wiener filter on the accuracy of atomic displacement measurements in aperiodic structures is important. In this work, we first review the principle of the Wiener filter and theoretically discuss the origin of the distortions induced in aperiodic structures by using a Wiener filter. Then, using hypothetical experimental systems that contains both aperiodic crystal structures and amorphous layers, we carried out synthetic experiments to quantitatively estimate the effect of the Wiener filter on the measurements of aperiodic displacements. Compared with the values for a non-filtered image, the signal-to-noise ratio was significantly improved, and the accuracy of the displacement measurement was not decreased when proper Wiener filter parameters were used. Such results are of great importance for the processing of HRTEM images.

The Characteristics and Biomass Distribution in Crown of Larix olgensis in Northeastern China

Chen, Dongsheng,Li, Fengri Korean Society of Forest Science 2010 한국산림과학회지 Vol.99 No.2

This study was performed in 22 unthinned Larix olgensis plantations in northeast China. Data were collected on 95 sample trees of different canopy positions and the diameter at breast height ($d_{1.3}$) ranged from 5.7 cm to 40.2 cm. The individual tree models for the prediction of vertical distribution of live crown, branch and needle biomass were built. Our study showed that the crown, branch and needle biomass distributions were most in the location of 60% crown length. These results were also parallel to previous crown studies. The cumulative relative biomass of live crown, branch and needle were fitted by the sigmoid shape curve and the fitting results were quite well. Meanwhile, we developed the crown ratio and width models. Tree height was the most important predictor for crown ratio model. A negative competition factor, ccf and bas which reflected the effect of suppression on a tree, reduced the crown ratio estimates. The height-diameter ratio was a significant predictor. The higher the height-diameter ratio, the higher crown ratio is. Diameter at breast height is the strongest predictor in crown width model. The models can be used for the planning of harvesting operations, for the selection of feasible harvesting methods, and for the estimation of nutrient removals of different harvesting practices.
