The gasification of biomass derived char obtained via vacuum and atmospheric pyrolysis of Populus tremuloides has been studied in the ranges of 725–960°C and 0.1 to 6 MPa. CO2 was used as the oxidizing gas. The results show that char reactivity is influenced by the preheating rates and that pressure effects are significant between 850°C and 950°C. A correlation based on the expression: df/dt = k0{exp(-E/RT)}(1 - f)afβPyCO2 was used to fit the experimental data. In general, vacuum pyrolysis derived char showed a higher reactivity than atmospheric pyrolysis chars. An explanation based on a higher oxygen content of the vacuum pyrolysis char is suggested. 相似文献
Nocturnal intragastric feeding has been shown to be an effective means to improve clinical and biochemical features in glycogen
storage disease type I (GSD-I). In this study, we investigated the fatty acid patterns in a whole plasma and in circulating
lipoproteins in patients on this therapy. The results demonstrated massive concentration of total fatty acids coupled with
higher levels of triglycerides, free cholesterol, cholesterol ester and phospholipids. This hyperlipidemia involved all fatty
acids without distinction of carbon or bond numbers. However, the increase was more pronounced for saturated than polyunsaturated
fatty acids, as was demonstrated by the ratios of both oleic acid to linoleic acid (1.91±0.40 vs 0.80±0.09 in controls) and
of ω3+ω6 to ω9 fatty acid families (0.92±0.11 vs 1.66±0.08 in controls). The fatty acid patterns in very low (VLDL), low (LDL)
and high (HDL) density lipoprotein showed substantial differences in composition, reflecting an association between an abnormal
lipoprotein pattern and essential fatty acid deficiency. Furthermore, GSD-I patients exhibited a significant increase in VLDL
(17±2 vs 47±7 mg/dl) and LDL cholesterol (124±7 vs 206±24 mg/dl), coupled with a decrease in HDL cholesterol (49±4 vs 28±3
mg/dl). These data documenting high LDL cholesterol and low HDL cholesterol associated with an increased concentration and
proportion of saturated fatty acids suggest that GSD-I patients on nocturnal intragastric feeding are at high risk for atherosclerosis
and its complications. 相似文献
The role of solid state epitaxy in the crystallization of nanocomposite cordierite glass to glass ceramic was investigated. The use of isostructural (-cordierite) seeds in cordierite glass led to a lowering in the crystallization temperature to form glass ceramic by about 50 °C compared to the unseeded glass. The use of non-isostructural seeds such as ZrO2 and TiO2 did not lower the crystallization temperature of cordierite glass to glass ceramic, and in the case of the TiO2-seeded glass the crystallization temperature increased by about 50 °C compared to the unseeded-cordierite glass. The lowering in crystallization temperature by-cordierite seeding can be attributed to the nucleation and epitaxial growth mechanism. 相似文献

In the medical field, image segmentation is a paramount and challenging task. The head and vertebral column make up the central nervous system (CNS), which control all the paramount functions. These include thinking, speaking, and gestures. The uncontrolled growth in the CNS can affect a person’s thinking of communication or movement. The tumor is known as the uncontrolled growth of cells in brain. The tumor can be recognized by MRI image. Brain tumor detection is mostly affected with inaccurate classification. This proposed work designed a novel classification and segmentation algorithm for the brain tumor detection. The proposed system uses the Adaptive fuzzy deep neural network with frog leap optimization to detect normality and abnormality of the image. Accurate classification is achieved with error minimization strategy through our proposed method. Then, the abnormal image is segmented using adaptive flying squirrel algorithm and the size of the tumor is detected, which is used to find out the severity of the tumor. The proposed work is implemented in the MATLAB simulation platform. The proposed work Accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, false positive rate and false negative rate are 99.6%, 99.9%, 99.8%, 0.0043 and 0.543, respectively. The detection accuracy is better in our proposed system than the existing teaching and learning based algorithm, social group algorithm and deep neural network.
In incremental software development (ISD) functionalities are delivered incrementally and requirements keep on evolving across iterations. The requirements evolution involves the addition of new dependencies and conflicts among functional and non-functional requirements along with changes in priorities and dependency weights. This, in turn, demands refactoring the order of development of system components to minimize the impact of these changes. Neglecting the non-functional constraints in the software development process exposes it to risks that may accumulate across several iterations. In this research work, we propose a risk management framework for ISD processes that provides an estimate of risk exposure for the project when functional features are frozen while ignoring the associations with non-functional requirements. Our framework proposes suitable risk reduction strategies that work in tandem with the risk assessment module. We also provide a tool interface for our risk management framework.
The objective of the present work was to determine the dynamic hardness of WC-Co coatings from the dynamic hardness of the
coating substrate system. It was also the purpose of this work to evaluate the influence of coating composition, coating thickness,
and substrate materials on the dynamic hardness of the coating. To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, WC-12%Co and WC-17%Co
coatings were deposited by detonation spraying on three different substrate materials: mild steel, commercially pure (CP)
aluminum, and CP titanium. The dynamic hardness of the coating/substrate composite was evaluated by a drop weight system.
The dynamic hardness of the coating independent of the substrate was determined from the dynamic hardness of the coating/substrate
composite. 相似文献
