A study on the interaction between ibuprofen and bilayer lipid membrane

Ibuprofen is a well-known nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, which can interact with lipid membranes. In this paper, the interaction of ibuprofen with bilayer lipid membrane was studied by UV-vis spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and AC impedance spectroscopy. UV-vis spectroscopy data indicated directly that ibuprofen could interact with lipid vesicles. In electrochemical experiments, ibuprofen displayed a biphasic behavior on bilayer lipid membrane supported on a glassy carbon electrode. It could stabilize the lipid membrane in low concentration, while it induced defects formation, even removed off bilayer lipid membrane from the surface of the electrode with increasing concentration. The mechanism about the interaction between ibuprofen and supported bilayer lipid membrane was discussed.     

Efficient Group-Based Multimedia-on-Demand Service Delivery in Wireless Networks

Recently, an upsurge of interest has been observed in providing multimedia on-demand (MoD) services to mobile users over wireless networks. Nevertheless, due to the rapidly varying nature of mobile networks and the scarcity of radio resources, the commercial implementation is still limited. This paper presents an efficient group-based multimedia-on-demand (GMoD) service model over multicast-enabled wireless infrastructures, where users requesting the same content are grouped and served simultaneously with a single multicast stream. The grouping is fulfilled through a process named "batching". An analytical model is derived to analyse a timeout-based batching scheme with respect to the tradeoff between user blocking probability and reneging probability. Based on the deduced analytical model, an optimal timeout-based batching scheme is proposed to dynamically identify the optimal tradeoff point that maximizes the system satisfaction ratio given a particular system status. The proposed scheme is evaluated by means of simulation and compared with two basic batching schemes (timeout-based, size-based), and two hybrid ones (combined-for-profit, combined-for-loss). The simulation results demonstrate the proposed approach can ensure significant gains in terms of user satisfaction ratio, with low reneging and blocking probabilities     

天降大旱 都江堰水利任重道远——由2006年四川特大干旱引发的思考

2006年，一场百年不遇的特大干旱袭击了四川省21个市、州的139个县（市、区）。据统计，干旱造成全省作物受旱188．52万hm^2，成灾116．55万hm^2，绝收27．73万hm^2，造成农业直接经济损失87．7亿元，有443．6万人出现临时饮水困难。为抗御干旱，四川水利经受了一次严峻的考验，作为四川水利的重要组成部分，已有2260多年历史的都江堰水利也同样经历了一个酷热的夏天。

Ten-user truly asynchronous gigabit OCDMA transmission experiment with a 511-chip SSFBG en/decoder

A ten-user truly asynchronous gigabit coherent-optical-code-division-multiple-access (OCDMA) transmission was experimentally demonstrated without using any timing coordination. The enabling technologies are a record-length 511-chip superstructured-fiber-Bragg-grating (SSFBG) en/decoder and a supercontinuum (SC)-based optical-thresholding technique to significantly suppress the signal interference beat noise as well as the multiple-access-interference (MAI) noise.     

A 24-GHz 3.9-dB NF low-noise amplifier using 0.18 /spl mu/m CMOS technology

A 24-GHz low-noise amplifier (LNA) was designed and fabricated in a standard 0.18-/spl mu/m CMOS technology. The LNA chip achieves a peak gain of 13.1 dB at 24 GHz and a minimum noise figure of 3.9 dB at 24.3 GHz. The supply voltage and supply current are 1 V and 14 mA, respectively. To the author's knowledge, this LNA demonstrates the lowest noise figure among the reported LNAs in standard CMOS processes above 20 GHz.     

A Shortcut Method for Estimating the HETP of Structured Packed Distillation Columns at Elevated Pressure

A shortcut model is developed for predicting the HETP of a structured packed distillation column operating at elevated pressure. The proposed model incorporates the geometrical parameters of the packing, physical properties of the vapor and liquid phases, and the hydrodynamics of the two‐phase flow. The proposed model is tested and validated by comparing the predicted results with the present experimental data and some published HETP data. The results show that the proposed model can predict the experimental data with a deviation smaller than 20 %.
