Icy affairs: Understanding recent advancements in the freezing and frozen storage of fish

Freezing methods have evolved over the last 30 years. This review states the effect of various freezing methods on the quality of fish and seafood. Freezing temperatures, freezing, and frozen storage temperatures were also analyzed and reviewed. The changes in the ice crystal, protein, and lipid affect the fish quality and nutritional value during freezing and frozen storage. Freezing methods when combined with various additives or preprocessing approaches help improve the efficacy of freezing and frozen storage. Several experimental or emerging methods also have positive effects on the products' quality. According to the metadata reanalysis of quality markers, freshly frozen fish using different freezing methods may vary much in terms of ice diameter, but not others. High pressure freezing or immersion freezing-derived fish retains the best quality through frozen storage. More data are required on freezing methods (electrical-assisted freezing, microwave-assisted freezing, magnetic-assisted freezing, radiofrequency-assisted freezing, and the commercial's application and investment should be considered in the future. This review sheds light on finding a balanced initial shear force during freezing and the use of certain additives to control freezing-related damages. Focusing on ice diameter alone may be futile (e.g., liquid N₂ freezing). Future optimization of technologies should be in a way that several processes along the farm to fork such as freezing, frozen storage, thawing, thermal processing of fish, and even refabrication of food should mutually complement each other's needs to deliver safe and high-quality fish to the consumer's plate, even after a prolonged shelf-life.     

基于分形理论的黄河内蒙古段河势演变特征及其与凌汛灾害关联研究

寒区河道凌汛灾害河势“弯道效应”的量化评估十分重要。基于分形理论提出河道横断面-纵剖面-平面多维度河势分形维数计算方法及其物理机制，并探讨黄河内蒙古段不同维度河势演变分形特征及其与凌汛灾害的关联关系。结果表明，黄河内蒙古段不同维度河势均具有多尺度自相似分形特征，且具有多年记忆周期的长程相关性；冰坝（严重性冰塞）发生频次与河道主槽弯曲分形维数呈正相关指数型函数关系，与河相系数、深泓点高程和河段平均底坡分形维数负相关，与水深-面积分形维数正相关，总体表明冰坝灾害更易发生于主槽偏移摆动大、蜿蜒曲折、河湾发育程度高的宽浅型弯曲河道，研究成果可为凌汛期冰塞冰坝灾害易发河段诊断及预测提供重要理论依据。     

纳米TiO2流体表面改性及对真空闪蒸制冰的影响

利用电镜扫描法、紫外分光光度法及烘干称重法对纳米TiO₂流体的分散稳定性进行了综合评价，研究了表面活性剂种类及浓度对其分散稳定性的影响。将纳米TiO₂流体引入真空闪蒸制取冰浆系统，研究了纳米TiO₂浓度、表面活性剂浓度及对吸附作用下纳米TiO₂流体真空闪蒸制冰的影响。结果表明，表面活性剂类型对纳米TiO₂流体分散稳定性的影响很大，复合型的分散稳定性最佳，其次是阴离子型；纳米粒子及表面活性剂可以增强真空下纳米TiO₂流体的成核效果，增大含冰率，降低过冷度；表面活性剂浓度是影响真空闪蒸制冰系统压力及闪蒸率的重要因素，系统压力及闪蒸率均随着表面活性剂浓度的增大而增大；另外，确定了在吸附作用下真空闪蒸制冰系统中使用纳米TiO₂流体的最佳条件。在最佳条件下，含冰率为18.35%，过冷度为0.51℃，热导率为0.920W/(m·K)，对比蒸馏水有较大改善。吸附作用下真空闪蒸制冰可行性较高，制取冰浆效果优良。     

Comparison of horizontal and vertical electric field in the treatment of river sediment by electro-dewatering

The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of horizontal (H-EDW) and vertical (V-EDW) electro-dewatering fields, in terms of dewatering and energy consumption, for the treatment of river sediment. The influence of the sludge thickness (3, 4, 5, 6, 7?cm) and the applied voltage (10?30?V) were examined. V-EDW was found to significantly improve dewatering and reduce process time, while H-EDW has the potential to save energy but results in sludge containing greater moisture. As the applied voltage was increased from 10?V to 30?V, the final dry solids content and energy consumption increased for both modes. Increased sludge thickness from 3?cm to 7?cm was found to have a negative influence on the final dry solid content of the sludge for V-EDW, but is not a significant influence with H-EDW. The results demonstrate that H-EDW is an effective dewatering method and has potential for continuous operation and energy efficiency for industrial-scale applications.

冰载荷是影响船舶冰区航行期间结构安全的重要环境载荷。船舶的冰压监测通常采用应变传感器，合理地布放传感器是识别冰载荷的基础。通过对比船体外板结构试验中的冲击载荷和不同测试方案下的应变信号，确定了最佳应变传感器布放方案；采用Green核函数方法建立了船体外板结构应变冲击载荷间的响应关系，并对采集信号在噪声影响下反演的不适定性进行了分析；采用Tikhonov正则化方法克服了载荷反演过程中出现的数值不稳定问题；最后将试验中的响应用到载荷识别分析中，反演的载荷可以较为准确地反映冲击载荷的时域特征并且载荷识别精度良好。
