Antioxidant and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities of eight neglected fruit extracts and UHPLC-MS/MS profile of the active extracts

The 70% ethanolic extracts from eight neglected fruits; Muntingia calabura, Leucaena leucocephala, Spondias dulcis, Syzygium jambos, Mangifera caesia, Ardisia elliptica, Cynometra cauliflora and Ficus auriculata were evaluated for their 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging, α-glucosidase inhibitory activities as well as total phenolic content. The results of this study revealed that M. caesia fruit extract demonstrated the most potent radical scavenging activity. Among the fruits examined for α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, M. calabura and F. auriculata exhibited strong activity with no significant difference. The Pearson correlation indicated that the activities of M. caesia and F. auriculata contributed by phenolic compounds. A total of 65 metabolites were tentatively identified by using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UHLPC-MS/MS). These findings suggested that the possible application of M. caesia and F. auriculata as a functional food with antioxidant and α-glucosidase inhibitory properties.     

Operational scheduling of responsive prosumer farms for day‐ahead peak shaving by agricultural demand response aggregators

This paper proposes a novel structure to optimize the operational strategies of responsive farms for day‐ahead peak shaving. To achieve the aim, the modern irrigation system of farms, including groundwater, surface water, and booster water pumps, are modeled mathematically. To develop the demand response (DR) potentials of the farms, electrical storage systems, and self‐generation facilities, including thermal distributed generations and on‐farm solar sites, are addressed. In order to facilitate the integration of the agricultural DR programs into the electricity market, a mathematical formulation for agricultural demand response aggregator (ADRA) is suggested. The ADRA participates in the day‐ahead electricity market on behalf of the responsive farms. To overcome the price uncertainty of the electricity market, a robust optimization approach is addressed. This approach determines the robust decisions of farms in the worst‐case realizations of the uncertain electricity price. Regarding on‐farm solar sites located in rural areas, a data‐driven approach is used to estimate the solar power generation of a significant number of sites without needing to install costly communication and measurement infrastructures. Finally, the proposed approach is implemented on agricultural lands in the northeast of Iran. The numerical results show that the suggested approach provides day‐ahead peak shaving for the power systems meeting the crop's water requirements.     

刚性索动力学系统的约化与索力测量

为解决索力动测中弯曲刚度的耦合影响问题，研究刚性索动力学系统的约化及相应的索力算法。对系统时间和空间进行坐标缩放，建立新时空坐标体系，使原方程约化为最简形式——所有系数均为1或-1，得到频率比互等关系；求解新坐标下的动力学方程，导出固支条件下的频率方程，分析其频率-梁长和频率比-梁长函数特性，提出基于频率比互等关系的双频式索力算法。给出两组10个算例均与现有文献吻合良好。研究表明：系统频率在新坐标下仅由单一参数决定；双频式算法可将索力测量的双参数反问题转化为单参数反问题，实现对索力和弯曲刚度的解耦；与其他方法相比，该方法有两个特点：①两个无量纲参数均具有明确的意义，便于工程人员掌握；②参数区间不受限，不需要对参数区间进行预判或近似处理。     

低碳环境下钢铁企业燃气系统动态平衡调度仿真

在“节能减排、降本增效”的大背景下,从碳素流视角切入,在煤气介质预测基础上,建立了0-1混合线性规划模型,以能源成本和碳交易成本总和最小化为目标,研究钢铁行业副产煤气生产调度问题。采用基于遗传算法的动态迭代调度算法,通过混合交叉算子和平均变异算子提高遗传算法局部搜索能力,并以国内某大型钢铁企业为仿真对象进行系统仿真,结果表明:混合煤气柜可以根据煤气产耗特点调整存储量,并保证存储量在合理范围内;调节用户会起到一定的缓冲作用,可以根据某种副产煤气的产耗特点响应增加或减少该种煤气的消耗量;当某种副产煤气严重不足时,固定消耗用户会根据优先级响应停调,以满足生产需求。可见副产煤气的优化调度应用可以为中国钢铁行业的低碳发展和节能减排提供技术支撑。

基于静电喷雾法萝卜硫素微胶囊的制备与表征

使用静电喷雾法制备不同壁材的萝卜硫素（sulforaphane，SF）微胶囊，通过表征微胶囊表面形貌、分子间相互作用、热行为、体外释放情况以及在高温下的贮存稳定性，研究食品级聚合物对SF的微胶囊化作用，从而筛选出适合静电喷雾包封SF的壁材。结果表明，微胶囊平均粒径在427.80～1 857.04 nm之间，呈球状，表面光滑。相比壳聚糖，玉米醇溶蛋白（Zein）和明胶（gelatin，Gel）是更有效的SF递送载体，Zein-SF、Gel-SF的包封率分别为（95.83±2.37）%、（95.11±2.82）%。傅里叶变换红外光谱确认了SF微胶囊中SF的存在；热重分析结果显示SF微胶囊在300 ℃的高温下才大量降解，有较高的热稳定性。SF微胶囊在模拟胃肠液和食物基质的最终释放率在80%～90%之间，具有良好的胃肠溶解和释放性能；同时，微胶囊化处理后的SF耐热性显著提高。本研究结果有助于进一步开发SF递送载体，促进其产业化应用。
