Efficient processing of k-hop reachability queries

We study the problem of answering k -hop reachability queries in a directed graph, i.e., whether there exists a directed path of length $k$ , from a source query vertex to a target query vertex in the input graph. The problem of $k$ -hop reachability is a general problem of the classic reachability (where $k=\infty $ ). Existing indexes for processing classic reachability queries, as well as for processing shortest path distance queries, are not applicable or not efficient for processing $k$ -hop reachability queries. We propose an efficient index for processing $k$ -hop reachability queries. Our experimental results on a wide range of real datasets show that our method is efficient and scalable in terms of both index construction and query processing.     

Structure and properties of collagen‐konjac glucomannan‐sodium alginate blend films

A new kind of blend film was made by mixing the solutions of collagen, konjac glucommnnan (KGM), and sodium alginate. The structure of the blend film was characterized by FTIR, XRD, atomic absorption spectrophotometer, and SEM, respectively. The effects of weight ratio between the polymers on light transmittance, tensile strength, elongation at break, water permeability, and water absorption of the film were studied. The results showed that there were strong interactions and good compatibility between collagen, KGM, and sodium alginate in the film. The film possesses good mechanical properties. Therefore, it can be applied in biomedicine as a new type of biomaterial. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 2007     

Quantitative analysis of small angle neutron scattering data from montmorillonite dispersions

A new model is presented which can describe quantitatively the small angle neutron scattering from montmorillonite-type clay dispersions and polymer-clay nanocomposites. The model is shown to be able to describe well the data from a series of dilute montmorillonite in water dispersions in which the deuterium content of the water phase is varied. The fits combined with information from other techniques suggest strongly that H-D exchange occurs in the montmorillonite-water dispersions. Deviations from Q⁻² behaviour often observed experimentally for clay dispersions are convincingly explained by the presence of a small proportion of tactoids.

Effect of the addition of acrylonitrile/ethylene–propylene–diene monomer (EPDM)/styrene graft copolymer on the morphology–properties relationships in poly(styrene‐co‐acrylonitrile)/EPDM rubber blends

Blends of poly(styrene‐co‐acylonitrile) (SAN) with ethylene–propylene–diene monomer (EPDM) rubber were investigated. An improved toughness–stiffness balance of the SAN/EPDM blend was obtained when an appropriate amount of acrylonitrile–EPDM–styrene (AES) graft copolymer was added, prepared by grafting EPDM with styrene–acrylonitrile copolymer, and mixed thoroughly with both of the two components of the blend. Morphological observations indicated a finer dispersion of the EPDM particles in the SAN/EPDM/AES blends, and particle size distribution became narrower with increasing amounts of AES. Meanwhile, it was found that the SAN/EPDM blend having a ratio of 82.5/17.5 by weight was more effective in increasing the impact strength than that of the 90/10 blend. From dynamic mechanic analysis of the blends, the glass‐transition temperature of the EPDM‐rich phase increased from ?53.9 to ?46.2°C, even ?32.0°C, for the ratio of 82.5/17.5 blend of SAN/EPDM, whereas that of the SAN‐rich phase decreased from 109.2 to 108.6 and 107.5°C with the additions of 6 and 10% AES copolymer contents, respectively. It was confirmed that AES graft copolymer is an efficient compatibilizer for SAN/EPDM blend. The compatibilizer plays an important role in connecting two phases and improving the stress transfer in the blends. Certain morphological features such as thin filament connecting and even networking of the dispersed rubber phase may contribute to the overall ductility of the high impact strength of the studied blends. Moreover, its potential to induce a brittle–ductile transition of the glassy SAN matrix is considered to explain the toughening mechanism. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Long term storage of soybean and cottonseed salad oils

Commercially prepared and packaged soybean and cottonseed salad oils from several different processors were evaluated periodically during storage for 12 months. Partially hydrogenated and winterized soybean oils, as well as unhydrogenated soybean salad oils, were stored in bottles and cans at 78 and 100 F. Control samples of all oils were held at 0 F during the entire test. Some lots in bottles and cans were packaged under nitrogen to improve storage stability. Agreement was good between organoleptic and oxidative evaluation of aged oils. After 26 weeks of storage at 100 F, the flavor of partially hydrogenated-winterized oils packaged under nitrogen showed a minimum loss. These same oils did not exhibit much, if any, reduction in their oxidative stability as indicated by storage peroxide values (active oxygen method). Soybean oil not protected with nitrogen demonstrated progressive flavor deterioration at 100 F. After 10 weeks of storage, the deterioration became marked and the flavor score was below 5. From limited observations, bottled oils appear to have a better stability than oils packaged in screw-cap tin cans. Hydrogenated oils packaged under nitrogen in cans had good oxidative stability, but some lowering of the flavor score was observed. Nonhydrogenated soybean oils packaged in tin cans not under nitrogen exhibited the most rapid flavor deterioration of all lots of oil investigated.
