High‐Purity Tocored Improves the Stability of Stripped Corn Oil Under Accelerated Conditions

γ‐Tocopherol‐5,6‐quinone (tocored) is of importance among the γ‐tocopherol (γ‐T) oxidant products and found in corn germ oil. Investigation on tocored is impeded in part by the difficulty to access high purity tocored. In this present study, high‐purity tocored is successfully prepared, and its antioxidant activity, together with γ‐T and TBHQ (positive control) in increasing concentrations in stripped corn germ oil is evaluated by Rancimat and Schaal oven tests. The stabilization factor in the Rancimat tests increases significantly (p < 0.05) along with an increase in the levels of antioxidants. Furthermore, tocored exhibits higher stabilization than γ‐T in the Schaal oven tests, although its efficacy gradually increases up to 100 mg kg^–1 and decreases significantly at higher levels (from 100 to 500 mg kg^–1), drawn from the comprehensive parameter A (considering both efficiency and strength) changes (5.06–11.21). In addition, the curves illustrating the residual contents of tocored and γ‐T run in different ways when the four levels are taken into consideration, further bearing the above results. Tocored tends to be a potent natural antioxidant for edible corn germ oil preservation. Practical Application: The present work provides more clear procedures for high‐purity tocored synthesis. Furthermore, tocored may be a potential natural antioxidant that is especially suitable for lipid base food substrates. The results of the present work contribute to the deeper understanding of the antioxidant activity of γ‐tocopherol. The antioxidant activity of tocored is higher than γ‐tocopherol in Schaal oven test. Tocored is a bright orange‐red substance that affects the appearance of the edible oil. Meanwhile, γ‐tocopherol is well known for its valuable health benefits, and appropriate measures should be adopted to store oils (corn oil, soybean oil, and so on) rich in γ‐tocopherol to control transformation in order to keep stability optimal. To some degree, the practical applications of the present results are also related to the processing and storage of edible oils.

摘要：提出了一种基于纸基底的喷墨印刷无芯片RFID湿度传感器，通过遗传算法与射频仿真软件HFSS相结合，对常规开口环谐振器结构进行分布式加载，得到目标频率为245 GHz的谐振特性良好的传感器模型；采用DMP3000型材料打印机，在不同纸基底上喷墨印刷银墨水制作传感器，以纸张本身的吸水性实现湿度传感；研究不同纸基底对湿度传感器感湿灵敏度和恢复度的影响。结果表明，柯达相纸传感器的灵敏度最高，高湿灵敏度可达到8 MHz%RH，双铜纸湿度传感器恢复度高且恢复时间短，仅为2 min；两种基底湿度传感器皆有较好的一致性、中长期稳定性，且湿敏特性在20℃～30℃范围内受温度影响较小。对纸基湿度传感器的感湿机理进行了分析，纸主要成分纤维素表面的羟基与吸附的水分子作用形成氢键，改变了基底的介电参数，传感器的湿敏特性与纸的成分和结构有关。 .txt     

Switching controller design for linear time invariant plant with a single I/O delay

ABSTRACT

To deal with the problem of conflicting requirements that cannot be satisfied by only a single LTI controller, this paper focuses on the design of a switching controller, which includes several stabilising linear time-invariant (LTI) controllers designed independently with different control performance criteria, for a specific LTI plant with a single I/O delay. The switching controller design procedure is divided into three steps. First, using simple loop shifting arguments, the design problem is reducible to an equivalent delay-free one. Second, traditional LTI controller synthesis methods could be considered independently for the delay-free plant. Third, based on a quadratically stable state space realisation method, a Youla parameter including a switching strategy with these controllers is designed to guarantee different requirements. Finally, a numerical example is provided to demonstrate the validity and efficiency of the approach.     

低阶煤热解条件对高炉喷吹半焦燃烧性能及动力学特性的影响

采用热重分析法研究了不同热解条件下半焦的燃烧性能和动力学特征，利用Ozawa法求取动力学参数。结果表明，热解温度越低、保温时间越短时，半焦的燃烧性能越好；热解升温速率对半焦燃烧过程的反应程度影响不大；粒度越大，燃烧性能差异性越明显。热解温度对半焦燃烧性能影响较大，550℃是本研究中制备高燃烧反应性半焦的适宜热解温度。两种不同粒度原煤制得的半焦均随转化率增大，活化能减小。1~3 mm原煤在热解温度为550℃时所得半焦在燃烧过程中符合反应级数模型，化学反应为限制性环节，反应最概然机理函数为f(α)=(1–α)2。     

ALLSTEPS: Curriculum-driven Learning of Stepping Stone Skills

Humans are highly adept at walking in environments with foot placement constraints, including stepping-stone scenarios where footstep locations are fully constrained. Finding good solutions to stepping-stone locomotion is a longstanding and fundamental challenge for animation and robotics. We present fully learned solutions to this difficult problem using reinforcement learning. We demonstrate the importance of a curriculum for efficient learning and evaluate four possible curriculum choices compared to a non-curriculum baseline. Results are presented for a simulated humanoid, a realistic bipedal robot simulation and a monster character, in each case producing robust, plausible motions for challenging stepping stone sequences and terrains.

模拟水环境下的压紧弹簧刚度试验及计算模型的研究

在模拟水环境下，对堆内构件压紧弹簧的缩比试样进行了刚度试验，并与有限元模拟、基于小扰度理论模型和大扰度随动模型的分析结果进行比较分析。结果表明，当摩擦系数按文献实验测值0.189取值时，有限元模拟、基于小扰度的理论模型和大扰度随动模型计算所得的刚度值均与试验所得的相近；卸载稳定段的刚度均明显小于加载稳定段的，是加载时的0.6倍左右。有限元模拟分析进一步阐明，在压紧弹簧变形过程中，压紧弹簧的截面存在转动，它与垫板之间的接触点并不是固定的，在加载和卸载过程中存在来回的径向位移。并且压紧弹簧接触面上的摩擦力方向是相反的，使得压紧弹簧在加载和卸载过程的刚度存在较大的差别。较小扰度理论模型、考虑压紧弹簧截面转动和接触点径向位移的大扰度随动模型所得的结果与有限元模拟更为接近。
