AI Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes how a sitar string behaves when it hits a parabolic obstacle, focusing on the differences in mathematical equations for the string's free and contacting parts.
- The authors develop a new model using Hamilton's principle to derive a set of equations, which they convert into ordinary differential equations for easier numerical analysis.
- The results, including simulations that mimic real sitar playing, help explain how the string generates a buzzing sound when interacting with the obstacle.
Article Abstract
The free vibration response of an ideal string impacting a distributed parabolic obstacle located at its boundary has been analyzed, the goal being to understand and simulate a sitar string. The portion of the string in contact with the obstacle is governed by a different partial differential equation (PDE) from the free portion represented by the classical string equation. These two PDEs and corresponding boundary conditions, along with the transversality condition that governs the dynamics of the moving boundary, are obtained using Hamilton's principle. A Galerkin approximation is used to convert them into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, with lower mode-shapes parametrized with respect to the location of the moving boundary as basis functions. This system is solved numerically and the behavior of the string studied from simulations. The advantages and disadvantages of the proposed method are discussed in comparison to the penalty approach for simulating wrapping contacts. Simulations with bridge-string parameters consistent with the configuration of a real sitar show that any degree of obstacle wrapping may occur during normal playing. Finally, the model is used to investigate the mechanism behind the generation of the buzzing tone in a sitar.

"When you leave out the door": The streets, Medicaid, and boundary spaces of healthcare in urban poverty.

Attending closely to the lived experiences of people moving in and out of Medicaid-funded institutions, I argue that "the streets" are critical to understanding healthcare in US urban poverty. Exploring the relationship between "the streets" and Medicaid-funded institutions, this essay asks: How does the relationship between "the streets"-and in the words of my research interlocutors-"life on the other side" shape life in Medicaid-funded institutions in the Northeast US city? How do the social and symbolic conditions of this relationship-conditions structured by anti-Blackness-formulate the human in urban poverty? By joining Medicaid-funded institutions together as a broader health-governing network, I demonstrate how these institutions become boundary spaces that reveal the socially and symbolically interdependent worlds of "the streets" and life off them. Ultimately, this essay argues that "the streets" contain the social and symbolic conditions that dehumanize the poor through the logics of anti-Blackness, thus defining the terms of humanization that Medicaid-funded institutions afford.

In order to figure out the wall effect on the propulsive property of an auto-propelled foil, the commercial open-source code ANSYS Fluent was employed to numerically evaluate the fluid dynamics of flexible foil under various wall distances. A virtual model of NACA0015 foil undergoing travelling wavy motion was adopted, and the research object included 2D and 3D models. To capture the foil's moving boundary, the dynamic grid technique coupled with the overlapping grid was utilized to realize the foil's positive deformation and passive forward motion.

Unlabelled: The lunar environment heliospheric X-ray imager (LEXI) and solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere link explorer (SMILE) will observe the magnetopause motion in soft X-rays to understand dayside reconnection modes as a function of solar wind conditions after their respective launches in the near future. To support their successful science mission, we investigate the relationship between the magnetopause position and the dayside reconnection rate by utilizing super dual auroral radar network (SuperDARN) observations and widely used empirical models of magnetopause position (Shue et al. in J Geophys Res 103:17691-17700.

When using navigation devices the "cognitive map" created in the user's mind is much more fragmented, incomplete and inaccurate, compared to the mental model of space created when reading a conventional printed map. As users become more dependent on digital devices that reduce orientation skills, there is an urgent need to develop more efficient navigation systems that promote orientation skills. This paper proposes to consider brain processes for creating more efficient maps that use a network of optimally located cardinal lines and landmarks organized to support and stabilize the neurocognitive structures in the brain that promote spatial orientation.
