Pressing technological problems have created a growing interest in the development of dynamic models for the digital simulation of multibody systems. This paper describes a new approach to the problem of motion prediction. An extension of the “vector-network” method to rigid body systems in three-dimensional space is introduced. The entire procedure is a basic application of concepts of graph theory in which laws of vector dynamics are combined. The analytical procedure was successfully implemented within a general-purpose digital simulation program since, from a minimal definition of the mechanism, it will automatically predict the behavior of the system as output, thereby giving the impression that the equations governing the motion of the mechanical system have been completely formulated and solved by the computer. Simulations of the response of a rail vehicle which demonstrate the validity, applicability and self-formulating aspect of the automated model are provided.

Nanoparticles in nanofluids are in the form of nanoparticle clusters caused by aggregation. In order to calculate the thermal and electric conductivity of the nanofluids, the growth process and three-dimensional space structure of the nanoparticle cluster in the host fluid is simulated, and then the thermal and electric conductivity of the cluster are calculated with the resistance network method. The thermal and electric conductivity of the nanofluid are calculated based on the simulated thermal and electric conductivity of nanoparticle clusters, the volume fraction of nanoparticle clusters to the nanofluid as well as the liquid molecule adsorption layer of the nanoparticle. The simulation method is validated by experimental data.

The author's population density index ( PDI) model is extended to three-dimensional distributions. A derived formula is presented that allows for the calculation of the lower and upper bounds of density in three-dimensional space for any finite lattice.

<div> <div> <div> <p>“Peptoids” was proposed, over decades ago, as a term describing analogs of peptides that exhibit better physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties than peptides. Oligo-(N-substituted glycines) (oligo-NSG) was previously proposed as a peptoid due to its high proteolytic resistance and membrane permeability. However, oligo-NSG is conformationally flexible and is difficult to achieve a defined shape in water. This conformational flexibility is severely limiting biological application of oligo-NSG. Here, we propose oligo-(N-substituted alanines) (oligo-NSA) as a new peptoid that forms a defined shape in water. A synthetic method established in this study enabled the first isolation and conformational study of optically pure oligo-NSA. Computational simulations, crystallographic studies and spectroscopic analysis demonstrated the well-defined extended shape of oligo-NSA realized by backbone steric effects. The new class of peptoid achieves the constrained conformation without any assistance of N-substituents and serves as an ideal scaffold for displaying functional groups in well-defined three-dimensional space, which leads to effective biomolecular recognition. </p> </div> </div> </div>
