Characteristic tryptic peptides and gelling properties of porcine skin gelatin affected by thermal action

Thermal action in extraction process had effects on characteristic tryptic peptides identification and gelling properties of porcine gelatin. SDS-PAGE, HPLC-LTQ/Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry, texture analyser and rheometer were used to evaluate collagen depolymerisation degree, characteristic tryptic peptides and gelling properties of gelatins prepared in various thermal actions. Results showed that with increasing temperature and time, depolymerisation degree enlarged, while gel strength, gelling and melting temperature decreased. Mass spectra showed that 47 and 49 common characteristic tryptic peptides were identified in gelatins extracted at 50 °C and 100 °C with various times, respectively. Moreover, 34 common characteristic tryptic peptides were identified in all gelatin samples. Further comparison between this work and our previous investigations yielded 20 common characteristic tryptic peptides, which stably exist in various thermal actions. These common characteristic tryptic peptides may be very helpful for the accurate authentication of porcine gelatin.     

Degradation pattern of contact resistance and characteristic trap energy in blue organic light-emitting diodes

Thin and lightweight organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are promising candidates for next-generation rollable displays; they offer numerous advantages, such as scalable manufacturing, high color contrast ratio, flexibility, and wide viewing angle. Despite the numerous merits of OLEDs, the insufficient lifetime and stability of blue OLEDs remain unresolved, thereby necessitating a feedback strategy for lifetime extension. Herein, we propose a simple yet effective methodology to determine the contact resistance (R_CT) and characteristic trap energy (E_T) of OLEDs simultaneously in the trapped-charge-limited-conduction regime, where electroluminescence occurs primarily. To validate our approach, the extracted R_CT and E_T values are directly compared with each other by connecting a commercial resistor (R_C) to a blue OLED in series. The percent errors discovered in R_C and E_T are less than 7% and 4%, demonstrating the high feasibility and accuracy of our approach. We further employ this method to study the degradation mechanism of a blue OLED by presenting the electrical stress time- and cycle-dependent R_CT, E_T, ideality factor, and turn-on voltage, revealing different degradation patterns of the metal-to-transport layer interface and emission layer, respectively. Our results provide better insights into the electrical parameter extraction method and electrical current degradation mechanism in blue OLEDs.     

Investigation of fracture behavior of cement-bonded corundum castables using wedge splitting test and digital image correlation method

To investigate the fracture behavior of cement-bonded corundum castables, various cement contents and pre-treating temperatures have been comparatively studied using the wedge splitting method and the digital image correlation technique. The results show that the microstructure enhances the mechanical properties, so the fracture energy and the maximum load as well as the fracture modes are affected correspondingly. The castables demonstrate the highest fracture energy and maximum load at 1600 °C with cement content of 10 wt% due to an appropriate amount of CA6. At the temperatures of 110 and 1100 °C, the crack propagation within the matrix and along the interface are dominated whereas within the aggregates significantly increased at 1600 °C, leading to the brittleness of materials. However, increasing the cement content can reduce their brittleness, caused by the maximum strain in thex-direction, largest length of the main crack, and high ratio of crack propagation in the matrix.     

Proper Orthogonal Decomposition and Statistical Analysis of 2D Confined Impinging Jets Chaotic Flow

Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is shown to be a statistical operation that identifies the main characteristics of chaotic flows and separates them into a few modes. The dynamic chaotic flow is obtained from two‐dimensional (2D) computational fluid dynamics simulations, for different Reynolds numbers, of a confined impinging jets mixer. POD enables reconstruction of the dynamic flow from a few modes that are related to coherent flow structures. The POD flow reconstruction enables a large compression of the flow data set. The decomposition of the flow field into orthogonal modes related to coherent structures provides direct insight into the mixing dynamics and scales which are not accessible from flow dynamics statistic quantities, which were introduced in the context of turbulence and are here applied to chaotic flow.     

Efficiency control of the cooling-down process of a cryogenic helium turbo-expander for a 2 t/d hydrogen liquefier

Efficient liquefaction of hydrogen is a crucial part for the large-scale storage and long-distance transportation of hydrogen. Helium Brayton cycle based on high-speed turbo-expanders has been widely employed in small and medium hydrogen liquefiers. In present study, a coupled model is proposed to predict the performance and cooling-down process of helium turbo-expanders with brake blower, and validation experiments were performed on a helium turbo-expander of a 2 t/d hydrogen liquefier. Experimental results indicated that the characteristic ratio of expander varied significantly during the cooling-down process which led to a large deviation from the optimal efficiency. The impact of brake pressure on the characteristic ratio and efficiency of the helium turbo-expander is studied, and a variable pressure control method is proposed for the efficient operation of turbo-expanders during the cooling-down process of a hydrogen liquefier. Compared with the constant brake pressure control method, the variable pressure control method can increase the expander efficiency by 5%–10% during the cooling-down process in the high temperature zone.
