The determination of zeolite crystal diffusivity by gas chromatography—II. Experimental

Experimental results are reported for the adsorption of propane and n-butane in a column packed with Linde 5A zeolite crystals, and methane, propan n- and iso-butane in a column packed with silicalite crystals. The adsorption equilibrium constant K and crystal diffusivity D_c, we obtained at different temperatures in the range 100–300°C, for each sorbate and packing and the heat of adsorption and diffusional activation energ were determined.The results show that in order to separate the effects of K and the pressure drop, the latter must be independently estimated by a suitable correla     

Expression and purification of goat lactoferrin from Pichia pastoris expression system

ABSTRACT:  The recombinant goat lactoferrin (rGLF) was expressed in the methylotropic yeast Pichia pastoris using pGAPZαC vector, GAP as promoter, and Zeocin as the selective marker. After transformation of the GLF-pGAPZαC into Pichia pastoris X-33 expression host, the GLF-pGAPZαC vector was integrated into the GAP promoter locus of Pichia pastoris X-33 chromosome. The rGLF was expressed and secreted into the broth using α-factor preprosequence. SDS-PAGE and PAS staining analysis indicated that the rGLF could be purified to electrophoretic homogeneity by heparin-Sepharose 6 Fast Flow affinity chromatography and glycosylated by the expression host. The yield of purified rGLF was approximately 2.0 mg/L of culture broth. The N-terminal sequence was identical to the native goat lactoferrin (nGLF). The iron-binding behavior, papain-inhibiting property, and thermal stability of the purified rGLF were comparable to nGLF. This is the 1st report of intact goat lactoferrin expression using the P. pastoris system.     

Characterization of the morphology and hydrophilicity of chitosan/caffeic acid hybrid scaffolds

The morphology and affinity of a scaffold influence the attachment of cells to its surfaces. In this study, the morphology and hydrophilicity of chitosan/caffeic acid hybrid scaffolds were investigated. Grafting caffeic acid onto chitosan hybrid scaffolds by using high levels of potassium persulfate produced scaffolds with looser morphology and higher porosity, as indicated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and porosity analysis. SEM analysis showed that the prepared scaffolds had a macroporous morphology with interconnected pores. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) revealed that the scaffolds’ hydrophilicity decreased after caffeic acid grafting. The scaffolds were cultured with human osteosarcoma UMR-106 cells, but SEM analysis showed that cell attachment was poor. However, calcification of the scaffolds promoted the attachment of UMR-106 cells onto the scaffold. This study shows that calcified chitosan/caffeic acid hybrid scaffolds could be suitable for use in hard-tissue engineering.     

Magnetic actuator design for single-axis micro-gyroscopes

An innovative magnetically levitated system design is presented in this paper. The proof mass, used as the seismic detection components for gyroscopes, is levitated by the presented micro-coil actuator so that the concerns that mechanical fatigue, asymmetry and mis-alignments, which are inevitably present in the traditional mechanical springs design, can be ruled out. In addition, the limited range of dual-axis motion of the proof mass is completely relaxed and therefore the resolution and sensitivity of the gyroscope can be greatly upgraded. That is, the proof mass can be much at higher frequencies and the stroke of the sense-mode motion can be more enlarged, in comparison with the conventional design (i.e., mechanical springs). In addition, self-sensing technique is employed to replace the gap sensors which provide the feedback signal for position regulation of the proof mass, for the sake of cost-down for mass production. A sliding mode control strategy is included to account for the effects of nonlinearity of the maglev system dynamics and hysteresis uncertainty of the micro-coil actuator. The proposed controller is verified by computer simulations and experiments to illustrate its superior capability to stabilize the inherently unstable maglev system and ensure fast response for the lateral position regulation of the seismic proof mass.     

On optimal scheduling for time-constrained services in multi-channel data dissemination systems

We study the problem of disseminating data of time-constrained services through multiple broadcast channels. By time-constrained services, we mean those services whose data must reach clients before a certain constrained time. Otherwise, the data would become useless or substantially less valuable to the clients. We first explore the difficulties of solving the problem and derive the theoretical minimum number of channels required for the task. Then, we propose a transformation-based data allocation (TDA) algorithm that guarantees to fulfill the task (i.e., all requested data reach the clients within the constrained time) by using the minimum number of channels. Finally, we analyze the computation complexity and prove the validity and optimality of the TDA algorithm.     

Synthesis of nano-ceria powder of high thermal stability

A new method is studied for preparing nano-ceria by acid leaching MgO from CeO₂−MgO mixed powder made by calcining a gel. The MgO in the mixed powder can be leached completely with acetic acid solution at room temperature, but the CeO₂ remains unaffected. The surface area (Sg) of the resulting CeO₂ increases with Mg/Ce ratio, but approaches constant after the ratio is larger than a given value which is higher for the higher gel calcining temperature. When Mg/Ce is 8 (molar ratio) and the calcining temperature is 1253 K, the Sg of the resulting ceria remains 25.1 m²/g even after annealed at 1253 K for 4 h. In comparison with the conventional methods, CeO₂ from the new method shows higher surface area and higher thermal stability.     

Glass Structure Changes in CO$_{2}$ -Laser Writing of Long-Period Fiber Gratings in Boron-Doped Single-Mode Fibers

We investigate in detail the process of CO₂-laser writing of long-period fiber gratings (LPFGs) in unannealed and annealed boron-doped fiber samples by using repeated scanning of CO₂-laser pulses. We find that the writing dynamics depends strongly on the CO₂-laser energy density and the annealing temperature of the fiber. Our results from analyzing the writing dynamics reveal the relative importance of various physical effects arising from glass structure changes due to different writing conditions and thus provide a better understanding of the formation and the properties of CO₂-laser written LPFGs.

Evolutionary Fuzzy ARTMAP Neural Networks and their Applications to Fault Detection and Diagnosis

In this paper, two mutation-based evolving artificial neural networks, which are based on the Fuzzy ARTMAP (FAM) network and evolutionary programming, are proposed. The networks utilize the knowledge base extracted from a set of data to perform search and adaptation. The performances of the two networks are assessed using benchmark problems, with the results analyzed and discussed. The effects of the network parameters are evaluated through a parametric study. The applicability of the networks is also demonstrated using a real fault detection and diagnosis task in a power generation plant. The experimental results consistently indicate the usefulness of the proposed evolutionary FAM-based networks in yielding good classification performances with parsimonious network structures.
