Radiation- and Photo-Induced Oxidation Pathways of Methionine in Model Peptide Backbone under Anoxic Conditions

Within the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by cellular metabolisms, hydroxyl radicals (HO^•) play an important role, being the most aggressive towards biomolecules. The reactions of HO^• with methionine residues (Met) in peptides and proteins have been intensively studied, but some fundamental aspects remain unsolved. In the present study we examined the biomimetic model made of Ac-Met-OMe, as the simplest model peptide backbone, and of HO^• generated by ionizing radiation in aqueous solutions under anoxic conditions. We performed the identification and quantification of transient species by pulse radiolysis and of final products by LC-MS and high-resolution MS/MS after γ-radiolysis. By parallel photochemical experiments, using 3-carboxybenzophenone (CB) triplet with the model peptide, we compared the outcomes in terms of short-lived intermediates and stable product identification. The result is a detailed mechanistic scheme of Met oxidation by HO^•, and by CB triplets allowed for assigning transient species to the pathways of products formation.     

AAOA-MBR工艺在工程中的应用分析

通过对AAOA-MBR工艺在实际工程中的应用,分析该工艺处理城市污水的节能减排效能。实践表明AAOA-MBR工艺具有很强的抗冲击负荷能力,在进水质水量大幅度波动、且碳源匮乏的情况下,仍能取得良好的处理效果。实际工程运行四年来,厂区出水各项指标均稳定优于城镇污水处理厂污染物排放标准(GB 18918-2002)中的一级A标准,其中COD、BOD₅、SS、NH₃^-N去除率分别达到可分别达到90.14%、98.25%、95.58%和98.2%;通过对运行期间污水处理量与耗电量相关关系进行回归分析可知,当处理水量达到设计规模时,其吨水耗电量预测为0.31kWh/m³。同时,基于对污水处理系统的沿程水质检测,优化进水水量分配和内循环回流比并进行产水泵联动改造,可进一步提高系统节能减排效果。     

The thermodynamic characteristics of a Stirling/pulse tube hybrid cryocooler

A Stirling/pulse tube hybrid cryocooler (SPC), comprised of a Stirling cryocooler as the first stage and a pulse tube cryocooler as the second stage, features the ability of shifting cooling capacity between stages by adjusting the movement of the displacer in the first stage. Such an ability allows an SPC to accommodate itself to time-varying heat loads at different temperatures, which makes it a competitive candidate in space applications. However, due to the gas coupling, there exists a significant mutual effect between stages which endows an SPC with special thermodynamic characteristics and has a significant effect on the SPC’s capability of shifting cooling capacity between stages. With the phasor analysis and the thermodynamic analysis, this paper establishes an idealized model of an SPC. The model is then used to study the effect of the second stage on the first stage and reveal the condition that an SPC is able to shift cooling capacity between stages. Also, the model is compared with a Sage numerical model and the two models are consistent on the overall trend. Though it is unable to reflect reality precisely, the idealized model can interpret the mechanism and highlight some of the essential nature of an SPC, which will eventually benefit the appropriate design of an SPC.

为了解决窄煤柱巷道非均匀大变形控制难题,以丰汇煤矿窄煤柱巷道为工程背景,综合采用现场调研、室内实验、数值模拟和理论分析等方法,研究了不同煤柱尺寸影响下,采动巷道围岩应力与塑性区分布特征;分析了窄煤柱巷道变形破坏规律与采场覆岩结构运动特征,揭示了窄煤柱巷道非均匀变形机理,指出采动应力场叠加,支承压力大;覆岩结构非对称,偏载作用显著;煤柱尺寸小、强度低,难以为顶板提供有效支撑;支护方案对称布置,针对性差,是窄煤柱巷道产生非均匀变形的主要原因。基于窄煤柱巷道围岩控制难点,提出以"改变巷道区域支护方式、增加支护密度、破碎围岩注浆改性"为核心的差异化支护技术,加强对围岩局部大变形的控制,充分发挥围岩的自身承载能力;现场监测表明,窄煤柱巷道在服务期间围岩非均匀大变形得到有效控制,稳定性好;可为同类型巷道围岩的控制提供参考。     

基于数值微分核脉冲信号数字处理方法

核反应堆核测量系统测量探测器输出的核脉冲信号，该信号后沿拖尾很长，在计数率较高时容易产生信号堆积和基线漂移等问题，导致源区计数率测量上限仅能达到105 Hz左右。文中基于数值微分方法，采用数字处理技术，在时域上分析了核脉冲信号经过前置放大、信号成形、低通滤波和脉冲甄别后的输出，并利用探测器实测信号进行了仿真。仿真结果表明，基于数值微分的数字处理方法可以实现相邻0.4 μs脉冲信号的识别和测量，将源区测量计数率上限提升到2×106 Hz以上。      

Economic Evaluation of Power System Flexibility by Commercial Air Conditioner Control with Large Penetration of Photovoltaic Generation

High penetration of intermittent renewable energy such as photovoltaic (PV) and wind power could cause shortage of power system flexibility. Demand response is expected to help supply ancillary service instead of the conventional power plant. Commercial air conditioners are a promising responsive load for demand response because they account for a large proportion of power consumption in the power system. We calculate a system operation cost and hourly operation pattern of each power plant by using the optimal power generation model considering flexibility supply from controlling commercial air conditioner. We obtained the following results as an effect of commercial air conditioner control. (1) The power generation of oil fired power plants decreases at peak time and annual fuel cost of oil fired plant is reduced by approximately 30% at most in Kanto area. (2) The percentage of rated operation mode of LNG combined cycle plants increases. (3) Curtailed energy rate of PV decreases because a power storage amount by pumped hydropower generation increases. (4) Required battery capacity to reduce PV curtailed amount decreased by combining battery energy storage system in case of high penetration of PV.

垂直矩形窄通道启动过程壁温变化特性研究

以去离子水为介质，对竖直矩形窄通道在启动过程中壁面温度的变化规律进行了研究。将一次启动与二次启动时壁面温度的变化特性进行了对比，并改变入口温度，研究了入口温度对启动壁面温度的影响。结果表明：一次启动时壁面温度经过三个阶段，即急剧上升阶段、缓慢升高阶段、缓慢上升至最高壁面温度后又缓慢降至稳态饱和沸腾阶段；二次启动时产生的沸腾滞后现象较一次启动时明显；提高入口温度可增加饱和沸腾段，减少壁面温度的波动，在一定程度上可避免壁面温度过冲对换热器的损坏。
