With the continuous development of drug screening technology, new screening methodologies and technologies are constantly emerging, driving drug screening into rapid, efficient and high-throughput development. Microfluidics is a rising star in the development of innovative approaches in drug discovery. In this article, we summarize the recent years' progress of microfluidic chip technology in drug screening, including the developmental history, structural design, and applications in different aspects of microfluidic chips on drug screening. Herein, the existing microfluidic chip screening platforms are summarized from four aspects: chip structure design, sample injection and drive system, cell culture technology on a chip, and efficient remote detection technology. Furthermore, this review discusses the application and developmental prospects of using microfluidic chips in drug screening, particularly in screening natural product anticancer drugs based on chemical properties, pharmacological effects,  and drug cytotoxicity.

With the advent of an ageing society, bone-related diseases such as osteoporosis have become a major human health issue, and osteolytic lesions caused by cancer bone metastasis have always had a poor prognosis. Researchers have studied the pathogenesis of these orthopaedic diseases to obtain efficacious treatments. Microfluidic chip technology is a popular technology developed in recent years. This technology can build an experimental platform for a bionic in vivo microenvironment in vitro, which has been favored by an increasing number of researchers. In this review, we will take osteoporosis and cancer bone metastasis as examples to illustrate the pathogenesis, introduce the latest progress in the research of orthopaedics-related diseases of the microfluidic model, and describe the current approaches and their limitations.

To assess the roller coaster multi-body system security, it is need to extract the running process of kinematics, dynamics, load spectrum and other features, as basis dates of the roller coaster structural design. Based on Solidworks/motion software and in the 3D model, the calculation formula of the carrying car velocity and acceleration is derived, and the five risk points of the roller coaster track section are found by simulation in the running, and the simulation results of roller coaster axle mass center velocity are compared with theoretical calculation results, which error is less than 4.1%, indicating that the calculation and simulation have a good fit and providing the evidence for the roller coaster structure design analysis.

In this paper, a simple and facile technique for manufacturing glass-based microfluidic chips was developed. Instead of using expensive dry etching technology, the standard UV lithography and wet chemical etching technique was used to fabricate microchannels on a K9 glass substrate. The fabrication process of microfluidic chip including vacuum evaporation, annealing, lithography, and BHF (HF-NH4F-H2O) wet etching were investigated. Through series experiments, we found that anneal was the critical factor for chip quality. As a representative example, a microfluidic channel with 20 m of depth, and 80 m of width was successfully prepared, and the channel surfaces are quite smooth. These results present a simple, low cost, flexible and easy way to fabricate glass-based microfluidic chips.

Avoiding the urea deposition in the exhaust stream is one of the basic requirements for SCR system normal application. Unreasonable structure design, machining and installation position all could lead to urea crystallization on the wall of exhaust pipe and the front end surface of the catalyst, in addition, unreasonable control strategy also could deteriorate this phenomenon. The components of the urea depositions are the urea and cyanuric acid analyzed by thermogravimetry - FTIR technology. The integrated injector mounting is designed to alleviate the urea crystallization based on analysis results. The engine test and the vehicle road test are all shown that the optimal structural design and calibration strategies could avoid crystallization and sedimentation effectively in the exhaust system.

<p>With the continuous development and progress of society, the structure of high-rise buildings has been paid more and more attention by the engineering community. However, the existing high- rise structure design methods often have a lot of redundancy and have a lot of room for optimization. Most of the existing seismic design methods of high-rise structures are based on engineering experience and manual iterative methods, so that the efficiency of design can not meet the needs of the society. if the method of design automation is adopted, the workload of designers can be greatly reduced and the efficiency of structural design can be improved. Based on the digital modeling theory, this paper proposes a MAD automatic design algorithm, in which the designer provides the initial design of the structure, and the algorithm carries out the modeling, analysis, optimization and design of each stage of the structure, and finally obtains the optimal structure. The structural design module of this algorithm starts from the component level, when the component constraint design meets the limit requirements of the specification, it enters and completes the component constraint design and the global constraint design of the structure in turn. In this paper, taking a ten-story braced steel frame high-rise structure as an example, the optimal design is carried out, and its seismic performance is analyzed. the results show that the MAD automatic design algorithm can distribute the materials to each part reasonably, which can significantly improve the seismic performance of the structure and realize the effective seismic design.</p>

Aircraft lug joint is the key part of load transfer. In order to improve the safety of lug joint, on the premise of meeting the design requirements of static strength and fatigue, the composite connection lug structure design technology of different metal materials is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the damage safety design and life reliability analysis of the lug structure are studied theoretically. Secondly, based on the concept of damage safety design and the design principle of deformation coordination, the design method of composite connection lug with deformation coordination is proposed, and the thickness ratio of single ear is 0.8:1:0.8. Finally, the reliability of the composite lug is analyzed. The results show that the structural design scheme of aluminum-titanium composite ear piece can meet the requirements of static strength and damage tolerance, and compared with the conventional ear structure, the failure probability of structure mission life is greatly reduced when the weight of the composite connection lug is only increased by 4.9%. The proposed method can effectively guide the structural design of composite ear piece.

BIM is a data tool used in various stages of design, construction and management. It can integrate different models of buildings and realize sharing and transmission during the life cycle of the project, ensuring that engineering technicians can access different building information with a correct understanding and real-time response, it lays a good foundation for different participants including design, construction and management to achieve collaborative work. It is very important whether it is to ensure production efficiency, save costs and shorten construction periods. For the newly emerging prefabricated buildings, their structural design will become more efficient, accurate and reasonable due to the introduction of BIM technology.

Based on the detection technology of direct reading spectrum, metallographic microscope and X-ray, the defects of the grid switch castings were analyzed. The four main forms of casting fracture were summarized as poor physical and chemical properties, material misuse, casting defects and designing defects. In order to strengthen the quality control of the source of the product, it was proposed to carry out targeted network inspection in the two stages of material arrival and infrastructure acceptance.
