Understanding and Controlling Food Protein Structure and Function in Foods: Perspectives from Experiments and Computer Simulations

2020

The structure and interactions of proteins play a critical role in determining the quality attributes of many foods, beverages, and pharmaceutical products. Incorporating a multiscale understanding of the structure–function relationships of proteins can provide greater insight into, and control of, the relevant processes at play. Combining data from experimental measurements, human sensory panels, and computer simulations through machine learning allows the construction of statistical models relating nanoscale properties of proteins to the physicochemical properties, physiological outcomes, and tastes of foods. This review highlights several examples of advanced computer simulations at mol…

Benchmark of a multi-physics Monte Carlo simulation of an ionguide for neutron-induced fission products

2022

AbstractTo enhance the production of medium-heavy, neutron-rich nuclei, and to facilitate measurements of independent yields of neutron-induced fission, a proton-to-neutron converter and a dedicated ion guide for neutron-induced fission have been developed for the IGISOL facility at the University of Jyväskylä. The ion guide holds the fissionable targets, and the fission products emerging from the targets are collected in helium gas and transported to the downstream experimental stations. A computer model, based on a combination of MCNPX for modeling the neutron production, the fission code GEF, and GEANT4 for the transport of the fission products, was developed. The model will be used to i…

A Statistical Model of Spine Shape and Material for Population-Oriented Biomechanical Simulation

2021

In population-oriented ergonomics product design and musculoskeletal kinetics analysis, digital spine models of different shape, pose and material property are in great demand. The purpose of this study was to construct a parameterized finite element spine model with adjustable spine shape and material property. We used statistical shape model approach to learn inter-subject shape variations from 65 CT images of training subjects. Second order polynomial regression was used to model the age-dependent changes in vertebral material property derived from spatially aligned CT images. Finally, a parametric spine generator was developed to create finite element instances of different shapes and m…

Limits of lateral expansion in two-dimensional materials with line defects

2021

The flexibility of two-dimensional (2D) materials enables static and dynamic ripples that are known to cause lateral contraction, shrinking of the material boundary. However, the limits of 2D materials' \emph{lateral expansion} are unknown. Therefore, here we discuss the limits of intrinsic lateral expansion of 2D materials that are modified by compressive line defects. Using thin sheet elasticity theory and sequential multiscale modeling, we find that the lateral expansion is inevitably limited by the onset of rippling. The maximum lateral expansion $\chi_{max}\approx 2.1\cdot t^2\sigma_d$, governed by the elastic thickness $t$ and the defect density $\sigma_d$, remains typically well belo…

Numerical simulation of free dissipative open quantum system and establishment of a formula for π

2020

We transform the system/reservoir coupling model into a one-dimensional semi-infinite discrete chain with nearest neighbor interaction through a unitary transformation, and, simulate the dynamics of free dissipative open quantum system. We investigate the consequences of such modeling, which is observed as finite size effect causing the recurrence of particle from the end of the chain. Afterwards, we determine a formula for π in terms of the matrix operational form, which indicates a robustness of the connection between quantum physics and basic mathematics. peerReviewed

Fluid flow simulations meet high-speed video : Computer vision comparison of droplet dynamics

2018

Hypothesis While multiphase flows, particularly droplet dynamics, are ordinary in nature as well as in industrial processes, their mathematical and computational modelling continue to pose challenging research tasks - patent approaches for tackling them are yet to be found. The lack of analytical flow field solutions for non-trivial droplet dynamics hinders validation of computer simulations and, hence, their application in research problems. High-speed videos and computer vision algorithms can provide a viable approach to validate simulations directly against experiments. Experiments Droplets of water (or glycerol-water mixtures) impacting on both hydrophobic and superhydrophobic surfaces …

Simulation environment for the C14-experiment

2016

In this thesis, a simulation environment utilizing Geant4 simulation toolkit was constructed to study the C14 experiment located at the Pyhäsalmi Mine, Finland. The C14 experiment aims to find a liquid scintillator sample with the least amount of 14C, the radioactive isotope of carbon, with concentration preferably less than 10^-18. The scintillator detector used in the experiment consists of a 1.6 liter cylindrical vessel filled with liquid scintillator, two 20 cm conical light guides connected to the ends of the vessel and two low-background photomultiplier tubes to detect scintillator light. In addition, the detector is covered with a reflecting foil. The simulation environment was used …

The effect of wind on jumping distance in ski jumping depends on jumpers’ aerodynamic characteristics

2022

Several studies have suggested re-evaluation of the wind compensation system (WCS) of the International Ski Federation (FIS). It was introduced in 2009, and since then, the system has been modified considerably, but major shortcomings have still remained. The present study compared the effect of tail/head wind on two reference jumps with different aerodynamic properties (Cd and Cl) during the flight phase. Jump distance and total tangential wind speed data of world cup competitions of the season 2020/2021 were used to analyse the FIS WCS and to offer basic information of wind effects. The correlation between the total tangential wind speed and the jump distance varied strongly among the ana…

Multi-Connectivity for User Throughput Enhancement in 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks

2022

To meet the increasing throughput and reliability demands, satellites may be used to complement the Fifth Gener-ation (5G) Terrestrial Networks (TNs). To increase the efficiency of the satellite communications involved, research on bandwidth-efficient techniques is needed. Multi-Connectivity (MC), where a user can be connected to multiple Next Generation Node Bs (gNBs) simultaneously, is one of such techniques. In this paper, the focus is on MC in NonTerrestrial Networks (NTNs) to improve users' experienced throughputs. First, a study of relevant specifications and algorithms is conducted. Then, the designed load-aware Secondary Node (SN) addition and traffic steering algorithms are present…
