Coupled Thermo-Structural Analysis Model of Solid Rocket Motor Nozzle considering the Variation of Friction Coefficient under Operating Conditions by Lin Sun, Huiyin Jia, Nan Zhang, Yu Zhao, Futing Bao

“…Multi-interface is a typical feature of solid rocket motor nozzles, and the interface evolution law is an important aspect to analyze the thermo-structural response of solid rocket motor nozzles. In this paper, based on the friction coefficient test at different temperatures, a coupled thermo-structural analysis model of solid rocket motor nozzle considering the variation of friction coefficient under operating conditions was established. …”

Individual variability of endo-periossal structures of the upper jaw

“…Individualized treatment can not be made without regard to the individual patterns in the structure. It is important to show the range of individual variation in structure of the upper jaw and not to accept these changes as a pathology. on the adult people skulls (102 objects), data analysis of computed tomography (45 cases), histo-topographic cuts (30 blocks), the individual characteristics of outer contours of the upper jaw structures and the features of its intraorgan anatomical structures are presented. …”

The Influence of Problem Specific Neighborhood Structures in Metaheuristics Performance by A. S. Santos, A. M. Madureira, M. L. R. Varela

“…In this paper the parameterization procedure of Simulated Annealing (SA) and Discrete Artificial Bee Colony (DABC) is addressed, with a focus on the Neighborhood Structure (NS). Numerous NS have been proposed for specific problems, which seem to indicate that the NS is a special parameter, whose optimization is independent of other parameters. …”

Klatt, Björn Sandrock, Kay Oliver Schink, Gert Bange, Johannes Freitag

“…Peroxisomes of many species confine certain metabolic enzymes into sub-compartments sometimes visible as electron dense cores. Why these structures form is largely unknown. Here, we report that in the smut fungus Ustilago maydis detergent resistant core structures are enriched for different enzymes excluding several key enzymes of the β-oxidation pathway. …”
