Response-based analysis for Tension Leg Platform

The typical industry practice for Tension Leg Platform (TLP) design focuses on a conventional short-term design recipe, which assumes that an N-year design environment leads to an N-year response. In the response-based design method, the TLP is designed to withstand N-year responses rather than respond to N-year environmental conditions. In this paper, we present an overview and a general procedure for the response-based design method and use a case study to compare the critical TLP responses between the two methods. The results of our comparison show that the conventional short-term design method often contains an element of conservatism and that the response-based design method can reduce the design conditions and thereby achieve cost savings.     

Response spectrum method for extreme wave loading with higher order components of drag force

Response spectra of fixed offshore structures impacted by extreme waves are investigated based on the higher order components of the nonlinear drag force. In this way, steel jacket platforms are simplified as a mass attached to a light cantilever cylinder and their corresponding deformation response spectra are estimated by utilizing a generalized single degree of freedom system. Based on the wave data recorded in the Persian Gulf region, extreme wave loading conditions corresponding to different return periods are exerted on the offshore structures. Accordingly, the effect of the higher order components of the drag force is considered and compared to the linearized state for different sea surface levels. When the fundamental period of the offshore structure is about one third of the main period of wave loading, the results indicate the linearized drag term is not capable of achieving a reliable deformation response spectrum.

金沙江宜宾段非恒定流过程及传播特性

金沙江、岷江的非恒定流调节过程较为复杂,在宜宾汇合后形成新的非恒定流向下游传播。通过近年实测资料,分析金沙江、岷江非恒定流特征及汇合效果。结果表明:宜宾段非恒定流特征与向家坝电站下泄非恒定流的符合度更高,岷江的非恒定流无典型过程;宜宾段水位变幅和金沙江、岷江水位变幅存在线性关系;涨幅在1.7 m左右,起调水位在1 m左右的泄水波可作为宜宾段非恒定流过程的典型代表,其在下游的传播速度沿程基本保持一致,衰减幅度随着距离的增加而减小。     

人宫颈癌FHIT基因的表达改变与HPV16感染的关系

目的探讨FHIT基因表达改变和HPV16感染与人宫颈癌发生的关系。方法采用反转录-巢式聚合酶链反应方法测定5种人宫颈癌细胞株(SiHa、HeLa、RJC-1、CS1213、C4-1)和58例宫颈癌组织与18例正常宫颈对照中FHIT mRNA的表达;回收7例FHIT基因不同的转录扩增产物,纯化后进行DNA测序;PCR技术检测组织中HPV16型的感染状况。结果SiHa、HeLa和C4-1宫颈癌细胞中有FHIT基因转录异常;宫颈癌组织中39例(67.2%)存在FHIT基因异常表达,显著高于正常对照组0例(0%)(P<0.05);37例(63.8%)有HPV16感染,显著高于正常对照组1例(5.0%)(P<0.05)。宫颈癌组织中有HPV16感染患者的FHIT基因表达异常数(30/37)显著高于HPV16未感染的患者(9/21),二者之间存在相关性(P<0.01);FHIT基因的异常表达和HPV16的感染与患者的年龄、临床分期、肿瘤直径、病理分级及是否伴淋巴结转移无相关性(P>0.05)。序列分析发现FHIT基因转录本主要存在不同程度的外显子的缺失,以第5位和第6位外显子的缺失为主,未见未知序列的插入和点突变。结论FHIT基因在人宫颈癌组织中的异常表达率明显增高,且与HPV16的感染有关,这些改变可能在人宫颈鳞癌的发生中起着重要作用。     

提前右转组织方式及其影响分析

以可插车间隙理论和概率论为基础,建立了固定与可变交织区长度的提前右转组织方式下右转机动车通行能力计算模型与延长交织区所能够增加的通行能力的计算模型,提出了提前右转组织方式的适用条件。以平均延误为指标,对比分析了两种组织方式下右转机动车的运行效果,基于Webster信号配时方法,对实行提前右转方式的交叉口内直行和左转车流的通行能力进行了分析。分析结果表明:采用提前右转组织方式后交叉口直行和左转通行能力增加;在右转机动车提前右转能够满足通行能力时,提前右转可减小冲突区的面积,否则,可以通过延长交织区长度来增加通行能力,以减少右转车的平均延误。     

Numerical modeling of ground response during diaphragm wall construction

Construction of diaphragm wall panels may cause considerable stress changes in heavily overconsolidated soil deposits and can induce substantial ground movement. The 3D Lagrangian method was adopted to model the mechanical response of ground, including horizontal normal stress and shear stress, lateral ground displacement and vertical ground surface settlement, during the slurry trenching and concreting of diaphragm wall panels. Numerical results show that slurry trenching leads to horizontal stress relief of ground, reducing the horizontal stress of the ground from initial K0 pressure to hydrostatic betonite pressure. Wet concrete pressure lies between the hydrostatic bentonite pressure and the initial K0 pressure, so it can compensate partially the horizontal stress loss of the ground adjacent to the trench and thus reduce the lateral movement of the trench face as well as the vertical settlement of the ground surface.
