Water-soluble soybean polysaccharide (SSPS) is a naturally occurring emulsifier. SSPS was used as the sole emulsifier to stabilize an oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion. The effects were investigated of different SSPS concentrations (3–20% (w/w)) on the lipid digestibility, rheological properties and stability of O/W emulsions during in vitro digestion model. The droplet size of the emulsions tended to increase during the oral phase because the emulsions were unstable and droplets coalesced, except with a SSPS concentration of 20% (w/w). The presence of SSPS markedly reduced the free fatty acid (FFA) content after its stabilized O/W emulsion passed through in vitro gastrointestinal digestion. The amount of FFA significantly decreased as the concentration of SSPS increased due to SSPS stabilization film on oil droplet surface and high viscous system. SSPS may be an attractive alternative ingredient to control the lipid digestibility of emulsions for various food products. 相似文献
Sediment samples collected at three different coastal points (Shinguu, Ooigawa and Tagonoura) were extracted with diethylether and then methanol. Each extract was separated into five fractions by high-speed liquid chromatography and they were submitted to mutagenic assay using B. subtilis and S. typhimurium and to GC-MS analysis.The ether fraction of sediment sample from Shinguu showed DNA damaging potency on B. subtilis and exhibited mutagenic effect on S. typhimurium TA 98, TA 100 and TA 1537. 2,4,6-Trichlorophenol, 3,4,5,6-tetrachloroguaiacol, dehydroabietic acid, pyrene and fluoranthene were mutagenic substances among 28 substances identified and tested. 相似文献
By a reduced-scale model in a wind tunnel, we investigate the dispersion behavior of exhaust gas from automobiles. Two types of vehicles are considered, a passenger car and a small-size truck. Tracer gas experiments show that the exhaust gas dispersion is enhanced significantly by the vehicle wake compared to the case when the vehicle body is absent. The passenger car and the truck promote dispersion in the horizontal and the vertical direction, respectively. The wake field is analyzed by particle image velocimetry (PIV), and the distribution of the mean and the fluctuation fields is found to conform to the concentration field of the exhaust gas. The buoyancy of the exhaust gas has minor effect except on the vertical spread behind the truck whose wake flow amplifies the vertical displacement generated near the pipe exit. 相似文献
This study aimed to examine the feasibility of evaluating the stress level at the surface of lumber during drying using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy combined with artificial neural networks (ANNs). Sugi (Cryptomeria japonica D. Don) lumber with an initial moisture content ranging from 41.1 to 85.8% was dried using a commercial drying schedule. An ANN model for predicting surface-released strain (SRS) was developed based on NIR spectra collected from the lumber during drying. The predictive ability of the ANN model was compared with a partial least squares (PLS) regression model.
The ANN model showed good correlation between laboratory-measured SRS and predicted SRS with an R2 of 0.79, a root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) of 0.0009, and a ratio of performance to deviation (RPD) of 1.81. The PLS regression model gave a lower R2 of 0.69, a higher RMSEP of 0.0010, and a lower RPD of 1.38 than the ANN model, suggesting that the predictive performance of the ANN model was superior to the PLS regression model. The SRS evolution during drying as predicted by the models showed a similar trend to the laboratory-measured one. The predicted elapsed times to reach maximum tensile SRS and stress reversal roughly coincided with the laboratory-measured times. These results suggest that NIR spectroscopy combined with multivariate analysis has the potential to predict the drying stress level on the lumber surface and the critical periods during drying, such as the points of maximum tensile stress and stress reversal. 相似文献
We demonstrate the gold(III)‐catalyzed direct substitution of benzylic alcohols in water. These atom economic and environmentally benign protocols afford S‐benzylated products in moderate to excellent yields. In contrast, common Lewis or Brønsted acids as catalyst, and organic solvents such as dichloromethane or toluene were ineffective for the S‐benzylation of mercaptobenzoic acids. Water can be an attractive tool for new transition metal‐catalyzed reactions. A Hammett study for the rate constants with various substituted alcohols shows a good correlation (R2=0.97) between the log(kX/kH) and the σ+ value of the respective substituents. From the slope negative ρ values of 2.35 are obtained, suggesting that there is a build‐up of positive charge in the transition state. Our catalytic system can be performed with the use of only 2 mol% of gold(III) catalyst without any other additives in water, and scaled up to 10 mmol scale (85% isolated yield). Notably, the present method can accomplish the S‐benzylation of unprotected mercaptobenzoic acids, which is chemoselective and leaves the carboxyl group intact. Furthermore, the direct substitution of allylic and propargylic alcohols also proceeded smoothly in good yields.
Nanosized‐layered rock‐salt LiVO2 was prepared by a new method from peroxo‐polyvanadic acid. The X‐ray diffraction pattern was well fitted with the space group R?3m in the Rietveld analysis and the crystallite size was estimated at 47 nm. The electrochemical properties as cathode materials for lithium ion batteries were investigated. The specific capacity of LiVO2 was greatly improved to 149 mAh/g under the current density of 149 mA/g, in comparison with that of the conventional LiVO2 below 50 mAh/g prepared by the solid‐state reactions. 相似文献
In this paper, we propose that the human brain develops a system to cover OTHER. This capital “OTHER” represents the transcendental other in infancy and the latent other later in life. The system grows to cover the transcendental other through the developmental process of objective–subjective distinction, and thereafter the latent other is found as a duality of the system later in life. To argue the emergence of such system regarding social conceptualization, we introduce experiments in which we verify that preschoolers abstract, categorize, and evaluate social relationships. The results show that children around 6 years old exhibit early social conceptualization and rudimentary objective–subjective distinction. Moreover, we claim that early social conceptualization is acquired through developing the heterarchical system when the experiments are regarded as communication between the participant and experimenter. Human beings may regard this heterarchical system as the self. 相似文献
