Aiming at the problem of low accuracy and high computational complexity of the traditional social network community recommendation algorithm, a rapid spanning tree detection algorithm is proposed to independently discriminate social network community with the weak connected edge, in order to improve the accuracy of community recommendation and reduce the complexity of algorithm. Firstly, according to the characteristics of social network community recommendation, the maximum spanning tree algorithm is proposed, which is based on the edge weight distribution node similarity, to realize the effective detection of social network community. Secondly, for the proposed algorithm having the problems of repeated adding and deleting of weakly connected edges and the waste of computing resources, a rapid spanning tree detection algorithm based on the independent discrimination of weakly connected edge is proposed so as to further improve the calculation efficiency of the algorithm. Lastly, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified by comparing the experimental results in the standard test database.

Ke Cao,Yao-Jie Guo,Jun Xu 한국강구조학회 2016 International Journal of Steel Structures Vol.16 No.1

Stabilities of compressed columns ended by spring hinges with particular rotation stiffness was a basic theory for more complex structures’ researches and engineering, however investigations on calculation approaches for these columns were rarely reported. This paper focus on buckling analysis on these spring hinge ended columns, and the derivation of the columns’ effective length factor equation were presented. Meanwhile a practical design formula to predicate the effective length factors was proposed and further validated to be highly accurate. Furthermore impacts of ideal-ends column method, which ignoring real ends’ rotation stiffness, were investigated. Finally conditions making ideal-ends column method accurate enough in practice were put forward and the practical condition equations were proposed.

Ke Cao,Guo-Qiang Li,Suwen Chen,Yu Zhang,Bo Hu 한국강구조학회 2016 International Journal of Steel Structures Vol.16 No.2

The anti-ram bollard system (ABS) is installed around the perimeter of buildings and infrastructures to prevent the penetration of unauthorized vehicles and reduce the blast and debris caused by the vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices (VBIED). Comparing with the fixed anti-ram bollard system (FABS), the auto-lifting anti-ram bollard system (AABS) has the advantage to be set down automatically to allow authorized vehicles passing on. In this paper, a configuration of K4-rating AABS is proposed and a finite-element model is developed to simulate its performance. Differences between vehicle model and real vehicle, effects of boundary conditions are both taken into account. The effectiveness and accuracy of the numerical simulation are validated through predicting the results of relevant experiments. Based on the verified numerical model, 32 groups of numerical experiments of K4-rating AABS are investigated using an orthogonal array L32 (48 ×81). The order and significant levels of nine affecting factors are identified on the basis of the range analysis and variance analysis, respectively. It shows that gaps between substructure and outer sleeve, wall thickness of substructure, wall thickness of steel tube, diameter of steel tube and thickness of stiffening ribs have significant influences on the behavior of AABS. The optimal design is proposed according to the orthogonal analysis.

Cao, Ke,Li, Jingjing,Zhao, Yong,Wang, Qi,Zeng, Qinghai,He, Siqi,Yu, Li,Zhou, Jianda,Cao, Peiguo Korean Society for Molecular and Cellular Biology 2016 Molecules and cells Vol.39 No.2

miR-101 is considered to play an important role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but the underlying molecular mechanism remains to be elucidated. Here, we aimed to confirm whether Girdin is a target gene of miR-101 and determine the tumor suppressor of miR-101 through Girdin pathway. In our previous studies, we firstly found Girdin protein was overexpressed in HCC tissues, and it closely correlated to tumor size, T stage, TNM stage and Edmondson-Steiner stage of HCC patients. After specific small interfering RNA of Girdin was transfected into HepG2 and Huh7.5.1 cells, the proliferation and invasion ability of tumor cells were significantly inhibited. In this study, we further explored the detailed molecular mechanism of Girdin in HCC. Interestingly, we found that miR-101 significantly low-expressed in HCC tissues compared with that in matched normal tissues while Girdin had a relative higher expression, and miR-101 was inversely correlated with Girdin expression. In addition, after miR-101 transfection, the proliferation, migration and invasion abilities of HepG2 cells were weakened. Furthermore, we confirmed that Girdin is a direct target gene of miR-101. Finally we confirmed Talen-mediated Girdin knockout markedly suppressed cell proliferation, migration and invasion in HCC while downregulation of miR-101 significantly restored the inhibitory effect. Our findings suggested that miR-101/Girdin axis could be a potential application of HCC treatment.

Ke, Shitang,Wang, Hao,Ge, Yaojun,Zhao, Lin,Cao, Shuyang Techno-Press 2017 Structural Engineering and Mechanics, An Int'l Jou Vol.63 No.4

Wind field in mountainous regions demonstrates unique distribution characteristic as compared with the wind field of the flat area, wind load and wind effect are the key considerations in structural design of television towers situated in mountainous regions. The television tower to be constructed is located at the top of Xiushan Mountain in Nanjing, China. In order to investigate the impact of terrain factors of hilltops on wind loads, firstly a wind tunnel test was performed for the mountainous area within 800m from the television tower. Then the tower basal forces such as bending moments and shear strength were obtained based on high frequency force balance (HFFB) test. Based on the experiments, the improved method for determining the load combinations was applied to extract the response distribution patterns of foundation internal force and peak acceleration of the tower top, then the equivalent static wind loads were computed under different wind angles, load conditions and equivalent goals. The impact of terrain factors, damping ratio and equivalent goals on the wind load distribution of a television tower was discussed. Finally the equivalent static wind loads of the television tower under the 5 most adverse wind angles and 5 most adverse load conditions were computed. The experimental method, computations and research findings provide important references for the anti-wind design of high-rise structure built on hilltops.

The purpose of this study was to investigate experimentally the fatigue performance of reinforced concrete (RC) beams with hot-rolled ribbed fine-grained steel bars of yielding strength 500MPa (HRBF500). Three rectangular and three T-section RC beams with HRBF500 bars were constructed and tested under static and constant-amplitude cyclic loading. Prior to the application of repeated loading, all beams were initially cracked under static loading. The major test variables were the steel ratio, crosssectionalshape and stress range. The stress evolution of HRBF500 bars, the information about crack growth and the deflection developments of test beams were presented and analyzed. Rapid increases in deflections and tension steel stress occured in the early stages of fatigue loading, and were followed by a relatively stable period. Test results indicate that, the concrete beams reinforced with appropriate amount of HRBF500 bars can survive 2.5 million cycles of constant-amplitude cyclic loading with no apparent signs of damage, on condition that the initial extreme tensile stress in HRBF500 steel bars was controlled less than 150 MPa. It was also found that, the initial extreme tension steel stress, stress range, and steel ratio were the main factors that affected the fatigue properties of RC beams with HRBF500 bars, whose effects on fatigueproperties were fully discussed in this paper, while the cross-sectional shape had no significant influence in fatigue properties. The results provide important guidance for the fatigue design of concrete beams reinforced with HRBF500 steel bars.

Kim, Ke-Tack,Kam, Dae-woong,Nguyen, Cao Cuong,Song, Seung-Wan,Kostecki, Robert Korean Chemical Society 2011 Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society Vol.32 No.8

Surface film formation on $Li(Ni_{1/3}Co_{1/3}Mn_{1/3})O_2$ cathodes upon oxidation of electrolyte during electrochemical cycling was investigated. Information on the important factors for film formation on the cathode can facilitate the design of additives that improve the properties of the cathode. Pyrazole is added to the electrolyte because it is readily oxidized to form a surface film on the cathode. The results of differential scanning calorimetry and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) showed that the active material played a dominant role in the interfacial film formation with the electrolyte. Carbon black played a negligible role in the surface film formation.

Protein kinase C (PKC) is involved in many cellular signaling pathways, it participates in many physiological processes, such as cell cycle, growth, proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. To investigate the effect of PKC on the silkworm midgut tissue infection of Bombyx mori parvo-like virus (BmPLV), a B. mori atypical protein kinase C (BmaPKC) gene was cloned from larval midgut tissue, expressed in E. coli and purified. Additionally, the BmPLV susceptible silkworm strain and resistant silkworm strain were used to test the effect of the B. mori infection on BmPLV. The result showed that BmaPKC encodes a predicted 586 amino acid protein, which contains a C-terminal kinase domain and an N-terminal regulatory domain. The maximum expression amount of the soluble (His)6-tagged fusion protein was detected after 0.8 mmol/L IPTG was added and cultured at 21˚C. The (His) 6-tagged fusion protein revealed about 73 kDa molecular weight which confirmed by western blot and mass spectrography. Furthermore BmaPKC protein were detected at 0-72 h post-infection in BmPLVinfected larval midgut tissue, western blot showed that as time went on, the expression of BmaPKC increased gradually in susceptible strain, the expression quantity on 72 h is 5 times of 0 h. However, in resistant strain, the expression quantity is slightly lower than susceptible strain. But no significant change in resistant strain was observed as time went on. The available data suggest that BmaPKC may involve in the regulation of BmPLV proliferation.
