双断点断路器开断过程燃弧能量的不平衡问题

通过对开断电弧运动过程观察,发现在双断点塑壳断路器开断过程中,两个断口之间存在电弧能量的不平衡,不利于断路器综合性能的提高。进一步的分析实验认为,电弧背后击穿是引起电弧能量不平衡的主要原因,通过适当的设计抑制背后击穿,可以使断口间能量有效趋于平衡。     

基于面向时间过程的静态安全分析

针对传统静态安全分析基于单一时间断面、无法细致反映系统状态变化的不足,本文提出了一种面向时间过程的静态安全分析方法。首先介绍了面向过程方法的基本概念。充分利用丰富的电力系统测量和负荷预测数据信息,提取了描述每个时间断面的特征向量;结合电力系统负荷连续变化的特点,通过改进的K-means聚类分析技术,对负荷曲线进行了时间过程的划分。定义了提取时间子过程最大特征断面和最小特征断面的指标,并对特征断面的显著代表性进行了研究。在保证电网安全稳定的前提下,本文方法可一定程度上提高传输线路的利用率。最后,IEEE30节点算例表明面向时间过程静态安全分析方法的合理性和有效性。

Unintentionally produced dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls during cooking

The formation and distribution of dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (dl-PCBs) during cooking was investigated. Concentrations of dl-PCBs in liquid residues, cooked beef, and oil fumes generated during heating were determined by isotope dilution HRGC/HRMS. Although the levels of dl-PCBs in well-done beef were lower compared with those of raw beef, relatively high concentrations of dl-PCBs were detected in the oil fumes produced during heating. This suggests that dl-PCBs in raw beef may have volatilized into the oil fumes during the cooking process. Sucralose and chloropropanols contained in raw materials may have resulted in increased dl-PCB concentrations and the level of toxic equivalents (TEQ) in the oil fumes produced under high temperature during cooking. Concentrations of dl-PCBs did not vary greatly in cooked beef, except when higher levels of chloropropanols were presented in the uncooked raw materials. Results indicate that sucralose and chloropropanols may promote the formation of dl-PCBs during the cooking process. The newly produced dl-PCBs from raw beef cooking were mainly present in oil fumes, which gave rise to high levels of TEQ in oil fumes.     

Application of electrolyzed functional water on producing mung bean sprouts

Electrolyzed functional water possesses a wide variety of antimicrobial activities. Electrolyzed functional water, which used to take place of tap water in producing mung bean sprouts, was studied in this paper. The results showed that electrolyzed water can not only reduce the quantity of microorganism on the surface of mung bean sprouts, but also promote the growth of sprouts. Further research showed that electrolyte leakage rate of mung bean soaked in electrolyzed water was the lowest, while the catalase’s activity of mung bean soaked in electrolyzed water was the highest. All of these contribute to the high activity of mung bean.     

Occurrence and characteristics of Vibrio vulnificus in retail marine shrimp in China

Vibrio vulnificus is a gram-negative bacterium that naturally occurs in estuarine waters and marine environment. Consumption of seafood contaminated with V. vulnificus or exposure to the contaminated water causes septicemia, gastroenteritis or wound infections in humans. This study aimed at identifying the prevalence of V. vulnificus in shrimps in Chinese seafood market. From June to September 2009, 239 samples encompassing six shrimp species were collected from ten cities in China. To quantify the prevalence and the levels of V. vulnificus in shrimps, the most probable number (MPN) method was used combining with the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) which was used to classify the isolates by detecting V. vulnificus hemolysin gene (vvhA). One hundred and forty out of 239 samples were positive for V. vulnificus, with the geometric mean level at 153.3 MPN/g. The prevalence and levels of V. vulnificus in shrimps varied in different geographic areas, with the values for the samples in the South cities (179.6 MPN/g) remarkably higher than that in the North cities (7.6 MPN/g). In addition, we found that 61.7% (79/128) of the V. vulnificus positive samples contained C-type (Clinical) strains and 8 contained E-type (Environmental) strains. The antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolates to 12 antibiotics was tested as well. Most of the 169 isolates remained susceptible to the majority of antimicrobials tested, whereas some strains tend to be less sensitive to amikacin, ampicillin, tetracycline and gentamicin. In conclusion, V. vulnificus is commonly found in retail marine shrimp in Chinese seafood market, and most of the shrimp samples contained C-type strains, which may pose a potential threat to human health.
