A generalized method for correcting instrument spreading in gel permeation chromatography

A general method of chromatogram correction for skewed instrument spreading in gel permeation chromatography is presented. The correction method is so general that there is no restriction on the shape of the spreading function. It admits nonsymmetric, non-Gaussian as well as nonconvolution type. Aspects of solution techniques are discussed and an illustrative example is given to elucidate the method.     

Studies on multilayer film coextrusion III. The rheology of blown film coextrusion

Multilayer blown film coextrusion was studied, both experimentally and theoretically. For the experimental study, an annular die with a feed-port system was designed and multilayer blown films were produced by rotating the inner mandrel with a one horsepower variable-speed drive at speeds from nearly 2 to 6 rpm, and by inflating the tubular molten film with air. The die has 16 feed slots and melt pressure transducers are mounted along the axial direction of the outer wall of the annular flow channel. The transducers were used to determine the pressure gradient in the annular flow channel, which then permitted determination of the reduction in pressure drop when different combinations of two polymer systems were coextruded. Polymers used for b own film coextrusion were: (1) low-density polyethylene with ethylene-vinyl acetate; (2) low-density polyethylene with high-density polyethylene; (3) low-density polyethylene with polypropylene; (4) high-density polyethylene with ethylene-vinyl acetate. For the theoretical study, stratified helical flow was analyzed using a power-law non-Newtonian model. A computational procedure was developed to predict the number of layers, layer thickness, and the volumetric flow rate as functions of certain processing variables (namely, the pressure drop in the die, and the angular speed of rotation of the inner mandrel of the die) and the rheological parameters of the individual polymers concerned. Comparison was made of the theoretical prediction of volumetric flow rate with experimental ones. Some representative results are presented of the theoretically predicted axial and angular velocity distributions, shear stress profiles, and shear rate profiles.

A DNA-based data hiding technique with low modification rates

In 2010, Shiu et al. proposed three DNA-based reversible data hiding schemes with high embedding capacity. However, their schemes were not focused on DNA modification rate or the expansion problem. Therefore, we propose a novel reversible data hiding scheme based on histogram technique to solve the weaknesses of Shiu et al.’s schemes. The proposed scheme transforms the DNA sequence into a binary string and then combines several bits into a decimal integer. These decimal integers are used to generate a histogram. Afterwards, the proposed scheme uses a histogram technique to embed secret data. The experimental results show that the modification rate of our proposed scheme is 69 % lower than that of Shiu et al.’s schemes for the same embedding capacity. In addition, the length of the DNA sequence remains unchanged in the proposed scheme.     

Intelligent healthcare service based on context inference using smart device

In the field of “U-Healthcare Service”, many studies have been actively conducted to develop “smart device”-based healthcare applications that enable healthcare providers and patients to be better served through interoperations among various kinds of sensors and wireless network interfaces. In particular, contemporary intelligent healthcare services not only recognize users’ context information through smart devices, computers, and so forth, but also acquire information from heterogeneous sensors to achieve context-aware inference services. Among such information, the weather information is tightly related to diseases such as asthma and allergies. Therefore, there is a high demand for research to utilize the weather information for healthcare services. In this paper, we propose a context inference-based intelligent healthcare service that exploits both the weather conditions information and the diverse healthcare ontologies available on the Internet. The proposed service aims at modeling a context ontology in users’ healthcare service environment and defining the inference rules, thereby accomplishing a satisfactory real-time healthcare service.     

Strain-Induced Deformation in Magnesia–Alumina Layered Composites

Ceramic beams are induced in situ to form complex shapes at elevated temperature without the application of an external stress. This process has been demonstrated for thin alumina substrates coated with a layer of magnesia. The internal strain causing the substrates to deform at elevated temperature arises as a consequence of strain mismatch accompanying the penetration of the coating into the substrate. The magnitude of the deformation depends on the amount of coating applied, on the thickness of the substrate, on the density of the substrate, and on the temperature. During exposure of the beams to elevated temperature, the magnesia coating reacts with the alumina substrate to form the spinel phase; the resulting volume change accompanying the phase transformation is likely the predominant driving force for deformation.

移动平台三维花卉植物触摸反馈可视化模拟

虚拟现实领域中,人们对三维花卉植物可视化及交互感的需求越来越强烈,而触摸力度引起的植物受力形变过程又无法采用现有的植物运动形变方法进行模拟,因为现有方法造成了模拟失真,交互感差。根据植物整株交互需求或单一叶片受力情况,分析不同方式的运动反馈模拟方法,先判断受力情况,根据动力学原理模拟整株受力,根据触摸屏获取数据,结合叶脉骨架旋转模型算法计算出单一叶片因受力而发生的形变,不需手动输入参数,就能模拟不同力度触摸造成的叶片形变。本方法应用在移动平台后,真实感和帧速率情况良好,可视化和交互感大大提升,并可推广到同类结构的物体模拟。
