Exploration of GH94 Sequence Space for Enzyme Discovery Reveals a Novel Glucosylgalactose Phosphorylase Specificity

The substantial increase in DNA sequencing efforts has led to a rapid expansion of available sequences in glycoside hydrolase families. The ever-increasing sequence space presents considerable opportunities for the search for enzymes with novel functionalities. In this work, the sequence-function space of glycoside hydrolase family 94 (GH94) was explored in detail, using a combined approach of phylogenetic analysis and sequence similarity networks. The identification and experimental screening of unknown clusters led to the discovery of an enzyme from the soil bacterium Paenibacillus polymyxa that acts as a 4-O-β-d -glucosyl-d -galactose phosphorylase (GGalP), a specificity that has not been reported to date. Detailed characterization of GGalP revealed that its kinetic parameters were consistent with those of other known phosphorylases. Furthermore, the enzyme could be used for production of the rare disaccharides 4-O-β-d -glucosyl-d -galactose and 4-O-β-d -glucosyl-l -arabinose. Our current work highlights the power of rational sequence space exploration in the search for novel enzyme specificities, as well as the potential of phosphorylases for rare disaccharide synthesis.

Performance assessment of a direct steam solar power plant with hydrogen energy storage: An exergoeconomic study

Power generation and its storage using solar energy and hydrogen energy systems is a promising approach to overcome serious challenges associated with fossil fuel-based power plants. In this study, an exergoeconomic model is developed to analyze a direct steam solar tower-hydrogen gas turbine power plant under different operating conditions. An on-grid solar power plant integrated with a hydrogen storage system composed of an electrolyser, hydrogen gas turbine and fuel cell is considered. When solar energy is not available, electrical power is generated by the gas turbine and the fuel cell utilizing the hydrogen produced by the electrolyser. The effects of different working parameters on the cycle performance during charging and discharging processes are investigated using thermodynamic analysis. The results indicate that increasing the solar irradiation by 36%, leads to 13% increase in the exergy efficiency of the cycle. Moreover, the mass flow rate of the heat transfer fluid in solar system has a considerable effect on the exergy cost of output power. Solar tower has the highest exergy destruction and capital investment cost. The highest exergoeconomic factor for the integrated cycle is 60.94%. The steam turbine and PEM electrolyser have the highest share of exergoeconomic factor i.e., 80.4% and 50%, respectively.     

PTA装置醋酸脱水塔的动态模拟及控制策略分析

以PTA装置醋酸脱水塔为研究对象，在该醋酸脱水塔的稳态模型的基础上，通过建立的平衡级动态数学模型以及补充设置好的动态参数，利用Aspen Plus软件建立好动态模型。以Aspen Dynamics软件为工具，用回流流量控制灵敏板温度，塔釜再沸器热负荷与进料流量F ₁呈比例控制，模拟设计出了控制策略CS1。又为了保证在进料流量扰动时塔底醋酸浓度更加稳定，利用塔釜再沸器热负荷来控制塔釜醋酸浓度，设计出了控制策略CS2。将两种不同的控制策略对其动态响应进行分析比较，得出在相同目标条件下表现更优的控制策略，为实际生产和控制方案的设计提供方向和指导。     

新型热源塔溶液再生系统非稳态特性分析与实验研究

针对热源塔冬季运行时存在的吸湿问题，构建了一种新型热源塔溶液再生系统并对其进行实验测试。考虑到系统在初始运行时需要建立平衡的温度场且系统运行时存在溶液不断变浓的现象，对该溶液再生系统启动时的非稳态特性进行了研究，获取了各运行参数随初始运行次数的变化规律，同时对不同浓度下各运行参数变化规律进行了实验分析。实验结果表明：初始开机运行后，随着运行次数的增多，在总运行水量保持不变的情况下，单次运行所需电量呈下降趋势，冷凝水量呈上升趋势，最终系统趋于稳定。随着溶液浓度的变化，系统再生效率存在先增加后降低的趋势，当溶液浓度达到18.5%时出现最佳值，此时再生效率为4.28 kg/(kW·h)，再生速率为749 kg/d，再生百分比为14%。该装置将溶液的真空沸腾过程和冷凝过程融合在一起，系统能耗大大降低，具有较好的节能效果。     

Adaptive finite-time tracking control for parameterized nonlinear systems with full state constraints

In this article, the issue of adaptive finite-time dynamic surface control (DSC) is discussed for a class of parameterized nonlinear systems with full state constraints. Using the property of logarithmic function, a one-to-one nonlinear mapping is constructed to transform a constrained system into an unconstrained system with the same structure. The nonlinear filter is constructed to replace the first-order linear filter in the traditional DSC, and the demand on the filter time constant is reduced. Based on finite-time stable theory and using modified DSC, the finite-time controller is designed via DSC. Theoretical analysis shows that all the signals in the closed-loop system are semiglobal practical finite-time stable. Furthermore, none of the states are outside the defined open set. In the end, simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control schemes with both linear filters and nonlinear filters.
