    Description: The Yuan-Agrawal (YA) memory-free approach is employed to study fractional dynamical systems with freeplay nonlinearities subjected to a harmonic excitation, by combining it with the precise integration method (PIM). By the YA method, the original equations are transformed into a set of first-order piecewise-linear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). These ODEs are further separated as three linear inhomogeneous subsystems, which are solved by PIM together with a predictor-corrector process. Numerical examples show that the results by the presented method agree well with the solutions obtained by the Runge-Kutta method and a modified fractional predictor-corrector algorithm. More importantly, the presented method has higher computational efficiency.

    Description: With increasing and more stringent requirements for advanced vehicle integration, including vehicle dynamics and control, traditional control and optimization strategies may not qualify for many applications. This is because, among other factors, they do not consider the nonlinear characteristics of practical systems. Moreover, the vehicle wheel model has some inadequacies regarding the sideslip angle, road adhesion coefficient, vertical load, and velocity. In this paper, an adaptive neural wheel network is introduced, and the interaction between the lateral and vertical dynamics of the vehicle is analyzed. By means of nonlinear analyses such as the use of a bifurcation diagram and the Lyapunov exponent, the vehicle is shown to exhibit complicated motions with increasing forward speed. Furthermore, electric power steering (EPS) and active suspension system (ASS), which are based on intelligent control, are used to reduce the nonlinear effect, and a negotiation algorithm is designed to manage the interdependences and conflicts among handling stability, driving smoothness, and safety. Further, a rapid control prototype was built using the hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform dSPACE and used to conduct a real vehicle test. The results of the test were consistent with those of the simulation, thereby validating the proposed control.

    Description: We propose an accurate approach, based on the precise integration method, to solve the aeroelastic system of an airfoil with a pitch hysteresis. A major procedure for achieving high precision is to design a predictor-corrector algorithm. This algorithm enables accurate determination of switching points resulting from the hysteresis. Numerical examples show that the results obtained by the presented method are in excellent agreement with exact solutions. In addition, the high accuracy can be maintained as the time step increases in a reasonable range. It is also found that the Runge-Kutta method may sometimes provide quite different and even fallacious results, though the step length is much less than that adopted in the presented method. With such high computational accuracy, the presented method could be applicable in dynamical systems with hysteresis nonlinearities.

    Notes: Unit operations in several commercial processing operations of frozen potato products were evaluated regarding their effects on the protein and water-soluble vitamin composition of the products. The investigation included processing lines for French fries and preformed patties. Overall retention values ranged from a low of 53% for ascorbic acid in preformed patties to a high of 90% for vitamin B6, also in preformed patties. With the exception of the case of ascorbic acid in preformed patties, water blanching was the chief contributor toward the reduction of nutrients. The effects of the other unit operations were statistically nonsignificant. Retention values with small cut French fries were lower than those of the large size cuts. Retention values were significantly greater with steam blanching than with water blanching.

    Notes: Dynamic rheometry was utilized to characterize viscoelastic changes during heat-induced gelatinization of 2 domestic rice starch suspensions, 1 from waxy and the other from indica rice. Gelatinization included 4 stages: suspension into sol, sol transition to gel, network destruction, and network strengthening. Increase in storage modulus (G′) was observed as early as about 47°C. For indica rice, the maximum value (G′max) was higher, and the decrease afterwards was slower, owing to its higher amylose content. The effects of heating time and temperature were found additive. Sealing samples with oil affected the accuracy of measurement. Finally, the network of starch gels had a larger fractal dimension than that of soy protein isolates previously investigated, suggesting firmer food texture.

    Notes: The schizogenous intercellular spaces (i. e. those small spaces formed by cell walls coming apart) in the cortex of the roots of field-grown maize (Zea mays L.) were studied in planed transverse faces of frozen tissue, very lightly etched and coated with Al. The spaces were mostly filled with either fluid or, in the drier roots, with a flaky deposit. This deposit may have been left behind when water was withdrawn, or may have been debris dislodged by the planing. Even in roots with mostly dry spaces, some wet, fluid-filled spaces remained. X-ray microanalysis of the wet spaces revealed that the fluid contained K (average concentration 230 mM, range 50–750 mM) and Ca (average concentration 100 mM, range 15 to 550 mM), and occasionally small amounts of S, P or Cl. No other balancing inorganic anions were detected. Concentrations in the wet intercellular spaces showed considerable variation between one space and the next, and were often quite different from those in the vacuoles of adjacent cells. However, overall the vacuoles of the cells surrounding the spaces showed mean concentrations, and distributions of concentrations, indistinguishable from those of the wet spaces. Analyses of the deposits in the dry spaces were less reliable because of their uneven surface, but the same ions in about the same amounts were found there. The contents of the spaces showed no correlation with either the time of collection of the roots, or with distance from the root tip. Nor was there any change in concentration of these ions in the spaces when the roots were grown for 19 h in distilled water mist. Experiments and evidence are presented suggesting that the observed distribution of ions is probably not an artefact. Pilot experiments showed similar distributions of extracellular ions in roots of barley, Sudan grass and soybean

    Notes: A potyvirus (designated as no. 656) causing mosaic or vein-banding symptoms on melons was isolated and characterized. The virus was mechanically transmitted to 14 herbaceous plant species, and induced mosaic symptoms in most cucurbitaceous plants. Aphis gossypii transmitted the virus non-persistently, and flexuous filamentous virus particles c. 755 nm in length were consistently observed in extracts of the infected pumpkin leaf tissues. Pinwheel and tubular inclusions were observed in the cytoplasm of infected zucchini leaf tissues. The virus was purified from infected pumpkin leaves by isopycnic centrifugation (Cs2SO4). The molecular weights of purified capsid and cylindrical inclusion proteins as estimated by SDS-PAGE were 32·5 and 73 KDa, respectively. In SDS-immunodiffusion tests, antiserum to virus particles from isolate 656 was serologically unrelated to ZYMV, WMV-2, PRV-W and a type W variant of PRV, but antiserum to its cylindrical inclusion protein did produce spur precipitin bands between homologous and WMV-2 antigen wells. However, neither WMV-2 virus particle nor cylindrical inclusion antisera reacted with this virus. Furthermore, this virus was not serologically related to BCMV, BYMV, CYVV, SMV, WMV-M or ZYFV. Based on test results and symptomatology, this virus appears to be a new potyvirus, for which the name melon vein-banding mosaic virus (MVbMV) is proposed.

    Notes: Five zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) isolates designated ZYMV-1, -3, -5, -7 and -FL were purified from zucchini plants grown under the same environmental conditions. Isolates were divided into three groups on the basis of yield of purified virus: group one (ZYM V-5 and -7) yielded 18-24 mg/100 g tissue, group two (ZYMV-3) 5.0-5.7 mg/100 g tissue, and group three (ZYMV-1 and -FL) low yields of 0-5-1-5 mg/100 g tissue. The yield of purified virus was positively correlated with the number of local lesions produced by inoculation of Chenopodium amaranticolor with extracts from infected zucchini leaf tissue. No serological differences were exhibited among the isolates in SDS-immunodiffusion tests. Results of ELISA tests indicated that ZYMV-FL differed from the other isolates and that antiserum to ZYMV-7 absorbed with ZYMV-FL failed to react with ZYMV-FL but retained some serological activity to ZYMV-7 and the other three Taiwanese isolates. The relative molecular masses of capsid proteins for the four ZYMV isolates from Taiwan and ZYMV-FL were similar.
