The shock tester based on a three-body, single-level velocity amplifier is especially suitable for high-g shock tests of lightweight and compact pieces. This study focuses on disclosing some key technologies that affect whether the velocity amplifier could achieve a high-g level shock experimental environment. Equations describing the first collision are deduced and some key design criteria are proposed. The key conditions for formation of the opposite collision are proposed for the second collision, which is the most important point, to obtain a high-g shock environment. A test platform was constructed, and experiments were conducted with different shock rods, pulse shapers, and initial velocities. The test results fully demonstrated the powerful ability of the single-level velocity amplifier for high-g shock experiments and tell us that a duralumin alloy or carbon fiber is suitable to design shock rods.

Article Synopsis
  • Heat stress is a big problem for growing maize (corn) around the world, affecting how well it grows and produces.
  • Scientists studied a group of genes in maize called AGC genes, which help plants respond to stress, to see how they work during heat stress.
  • They found 39 AGC genes and discovered that some of these genes change a lot when the plant is hot, suggesting they could help maize adapt to heat better in the future.

Background: "Red tides" are harmful algal blooms caused by dinoflagellate microalgae that accumulate toxins lethal to other organisms, including humans via consumption of contaminated seafood. These algal blooms are driven by a combination of environmental factors including nutrient enrichment, particularly in warm waters, and are increasingly frequent. The molecular, regulatory, and evolutionary mechanisms that underlie the heat stress response in these harmful bloom-forming algal species remain little understood, due in part to the limited genomic resources from dinoflagellates, complicated by the large sizes of genomes, exhibiting features atypical of eukaryotes.

Mars spacecraft encounter numerous -loads that occur along the launch or landing vectors (called axial vectors) or along lateral off-axes vectors. The goal of this research was to determine if there was a threshold for dislodging spores under brute-force dynamic shock compressional impacts (i.e.

Article Synopsis
  • A biaxial piezoresistive accelerometer is designed for measuring high-g acceleration in multidimensional applications like weaponry and aerospace.
  • The study focuses on the measurement mechanism, sensor structure, and a signal test circuit to reduce interference from stress variations in a cantilever beam.
  • Performance analysis using finite element methods reveals the sensor's capabilities, achieving a range of 200,000 g, sensitivities of 1.39 µV/g and 1.42 µV/g in the X and Y directions, and natural frequencies of approximately 510 kHz.
