Construction of a prediction model for the structural stability of a surface grinder using backpropagation neural network

Learning and prediction capability of the backpropagation neural network (BPNN) have been used to build the prediction model for the structural stability of a surface grinder. The Lagrange energy method is applied to derive the dynamic equation of the lumped parameter model of the surface grinder. The major factors influencing the structural stability of the system can be determined after the ratio of kinetic energy of the sub-structure and the ratio of potential energy of the sub-structure interface are obtained. An orthogonal rotatable central composite design is adopted to dispose the treatment combinations of the major factors. The BPNN model is constructed by the treatment combinations of the training patterns and verified by the treatment combinations of the test patterns. In this paper, a 3-layer BPNN model with a 10-neuron hidden layer which converged after 4,072 learning cycles is selected to predict the structural stability of a surface grinder within the planned ranges. The percentage residuals of both training patterns and test patterns are all within 3.41%, thus the prediction accuracy of the BPNN model is excellent so that the engineering demands are well satisfied.     

Microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti 45Al 5Nb + (0–0.5C) sheets

The possible application of gamma titanium aluminides in aerospace industry requires a detailed understanding of the microstructure–property relationship of sheets made from this material. This paper reports the mechanical properties of sheets up to 1000 °C, based on alloy concepts with high Nb concentrations and small additions of C. Sheets were manufactured by rolling powder metallurgical compacts with compositions Ti 45Al 5Nb and Ti 45Al 5Nb 0.5C. The microstructures of both sheets are “near gamma” and consist of γ-TiAl and ₂-Ti₃Al phases. The texture of both phases is very weak. The strengths levels are very high and that of the C-containing sheet exceeds that of the C-free material at RT by 200 MPa. The mechanical properties of Ti 45Al 5Nb are independent of the direction in the sheet, in the whole temperature range from RT to 1000 °C. However, for the C-containing sheet this is true only in the upper temperature range.     

Equilibrium and crystallographic measurements of the binary tetrahydrofuran and helium clathrate hydrates

Clathrate compounds are crystalline materials formed by a physical interaction between host and relatively light guest molecules. Various types of nano-sized cages surrounded by host frameworks exist in the highly unique crystalline structures and free guest molecules are entrapped in an open host-guest network. Recently, we reported two peculiar phenomena, swapping and tuning, naturally occurring in the hydrate cages. Helium, one of the smallest light guest molecules, must be the challengeable material in the sense of physics and moreover possesses versatile applications in the field of superconductivity technology and thermonuclear industry. In this regard, we attempted for the first time to synthesize helium hydrates at moderate temperature and pressure conditions. According to inclusion phenomena, helium itself normally cannot form clathrate hydrates due to being too small molecularly without the help of hydrate former molecules (sI, sII, and sH formers). In this study, the hydrate equilibria of the binary clathrate hydrate containing tetrahydrofuran, helium, and water were determined at 2, 3, 5.56 THF mol%. Direct volumetric measurements were also carried out to confirm the exact amount of helium captured in the hydrate cages. Finally, the crystalline structure of the formed mixed hydrates was identified by powder X-ray diffraction, resulting in structure II.

Preparation of transparent poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel

A transparent hydrated gel is prepared from a poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA) solution in a mixed solvent consisting of water and dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO). Upon cooling the PVA solution below the room temperature, a gel is formed as a consequence of crystallization of PVA molecules. Exchange of DMSO in the formed gel with water gives the hydrated PVA gel which is high in tensile strength, water content, and light transmittance.     

Correlation analysis for non-invasive quantitative monitoring of biological activity of recombinant enzyme using green fluorescence protein in Escherichia coli under various culture environments

Monitoring of biological activity for target enzyme is important for its production in recombinant expression systems. Previously, we demonstrated that green fluorescent protein (GFP) as a fusion partner is successfully tooled for facile, in vivo, and non-invasive quantification of target enzyme levels based on a linear relationship between GFP fluorescence and enzyme (chloramphenicol acetyltransferase; CAT) activity. Here, we investigated the effects of culture environmental variations (initial glucose amount, surface aeration, and inducer concentration) on correlation between GFP fluorescence and CAT activity, and established a general linear correlation as a unique criterion for quantitative monitoring of CAT biological activity. This general correlation for GFP fusion strategy can be applied for non-invasive and on-line monitoring of recombinant enzyme production under various culture conditions without further experimental calibrations.     

Preparation and optical properties of polymer films having lamellar structure and cylindrical air bubbles

Polymer films displaying lustrous, iridescent colors were obtained by irradiation of poly(methyl methacrylate) films containing 1,4-benzoquinone with a medium pressure mercury lamp followed by solvent treatment. The colors were not produced by visible light-absorbing species in the polymer films because the color seen in reflection was complementary to that seen in transmission. It was found from optical and scanning electron microscopic studies of the polymer films that they have two characteristic optical structures; a great number of microcylindrical air bubbles oriented perpendicularly to the film surface and periodic lamellas with planes parallel to the film surface. The colors of the polymer films were thought to be produced by this periodic lamellar structure which would act as a three dimensional optical reflection grating. Continuous color change on tilting the sample could also be explained by the Bragg equation.
