Polydisperse aerosol condensation with heat and mass conservation II: Fluid dynamic couplings for an embedded aerosol zone

Aerosol condensational growth in a fluid field, including water vapor depletion and latent heat of condensation, is studied by a newly developed model coupling aerosol condensation with fluid dynamics. This model couples the fluid dynamics (via ANSYS FLUENT) and a time-dependent model [1] developed for nonsteady state, nonisothermal conditions. Mass and heat are effectively conserved throughout the computational domain with changes driven by aerosol condensation and evaporation. In turn, these changes promote fluid movement and its evolution. Communications between the air parcel, inside which the aerosol particles are introduced, and the outside environment are allowed by means of mass and heat transfer. Comparison between results of models with and without computational fluid dynamics (CFD) shows that the fluid movement due to aerosol condensation can have significant impact on the aerosol growth. By comparing the growth of both monodisperse and polydisperse (NH₄)₂SO₄ particles of different number densities at various initial supersaturation conditions, particle number concentrations are shown to have great impact on the aerosol condensational growth with mass and heat exchange between the inside and outside of the air parcel.     

Ni–Fe–B catalysts for NaBH4 hydrolysis

A series of Ni–Fe–B catalysts with different Fe/(Fe + Ni) molar ratios, used for the hydrolysis of NaBH₄, were prepared by chemical reduction of NiCl₂ and FeCl₃ mixed solution with NaBH₄. The measurements revealed that the catalysts with the molar ratio of Fe/(Fe + Ni) (30%) exhibited the highest catalytic activity, and the optimal reduction temperature is 348 K. In addition, the effects of the concentration of NaBH₄, NaOH and the hydrolytic temperature of NaBH₄ were discussed in detail. The results show that the reaction rate of hydrolysis first rises up and then goes down subsequently with the increase of NaBH₄ concentration, as well as the concentration of NaOH. The activation energy of the hydrolysis for Ni–Fe–B catalysts is fitted to 57 kJ/mol. The maximum value of hydrogen generation is 2910 ml/(min g) at 298 K.     

A spectroscopic and microstructural study of oxide coatings produced on a Ti–6Al–4V alloy by plasma electrolytic oxidation

In this study, we have used PEO (plasma electrolytic oxidation) for the production of oxide coatings on a Ti–6Al–4V alloy at two different current modes, namely pulsed unipolar and bipolar. Optical emission spectroscopy (OES) in the visible and near UV band (280–800 nm) was used to characterize the PEO plasma. The emission spectra were recorded and the plasma temperature profile versus processing time was constructed using a line intensity ratios method. The aim of this work was to study the effect of the process parameters, including current mode and pulse duration time, on the plasma characteristics, surface morphology and microstructure and corrosion resistance of oxides grown on Ti–6Al–4V by PEO process. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to study the coating microstructure, morphology and phase composition. The corrosion resistance of the coated and uncoated samples was examined by potentiodynamic polarization in a 3.5% NaCl solution. It was found that the plasma temperature profiles are significantly influenced by changing the current mode from unipolar to bipolar. The strongest discharges that are initiated at the interface between the substrate and the coating can be reduced or eliminated by using a bipolar current mode. This produces a thinner, denser and more corrosion-resistant coating.     

In vitro study on porous silver scaffolds prepared by electroplating method using cellular carbon skeleton as the substrate

Porous silver scaffolds, with the porosity ranging from 68% to 81% and the apparent density ranging from 0.4 to 1 g?cm^? 3 were prepared by electroplating method using cellular carbon skeleton as the substrate. The microstructure, mechanical property, cytotoxicity and antibacterial activity of the prepared porous silver scaffold were studied. The present porous silver scaffolds had a highly three-dimensional trabecular porous structure with the porosity and the apparent density close to that of the cancellous bone. Furthermore, the mechanical property such as elastic modulus and yield strength of the porous silver scaffolds were lower than that of commercial available porous Ti and porous Ti alloys but much closer to that of the cancellous bone and porous Ta. In addition, study of in vitro behavior showed that the porous silver scaffold possessed significant antibacterial capability of inhibition of bacterial proliferation and adherence against Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis, and little cytotoxicity to Mg-63 cell line and NIH-3T3 cell line. Consequently, the porous silver scaffolds prepared by electrodeposition possess a promising application for bone implants.     

Filter allocation and replacement strategies in fluid power system under uncertainty: a fuzzy robust nonlinear programming approach

A fuzzy robust nonlinear programming model is developed for the assessment of filter allocation and replacement strategies in hydraulic systems under uncertainty. It integrates the methods of fuzzy mathematic programming (FMP) and robust programming (RP) within the mixed integer nonlinear programming framework, and can facilitate dynamic analysis and optimization of filters allocation and replacement planning where the uncertainties are expressed as fuzzy membership functions. In modeling formulation, theory of contamination wear of typical hydraulic components is introduced to strengthen the presentation of relationship between system contamination and work performance. The fuzzy decision space is delimited into a more robust one by specifying the uncertainties through dimensional enlargement of the original fuzzy constraints. The piecewise linearization approach is employed to handle the nonlinearities of problem. The developed method has been applied to a case of planning filter allocation and replacement strategies under uncertainty and the generated optimal solution will help to reduce the total system cost and failure-risk level of the FPS.     

Efficient delivery of antitumor drug to the nuclei of tumor cells by amphiphilic biodegradable poly(L-aspartic acid-co-lactic acid)/DPPE co-polymer nanoparticles

The use of biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) for controlled drug delivery has shown significant therapeutic potential. Polyaspartic acid and polylactic acid are the most intensively studied biodegradable polymers. In the present study, novel amphiphilic biodegradable co-polymer NPs, poly(L-aspartic acid-co-lactic acid) with 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DPPE) (poly(AA-co-LA)/DPPE) is synthesized and subsequently used to encapsulate an antitumor drug doxorubicin (DOX). The formulation parameters of the NPs are optimized to improve encapsulation efficiency. The resulting drug-loaded NPs possess better size homogeneity (polydispersity) and exhibit pH-responsive drug release profiles. Cellular viability assays indicate that the poly(AA-co-LA)/DPPE NPs did not induce cell death, whereas doxorubicin encapsulated NPs were cytotoxic to various types of tumor cells. In addition, the free NPs could not enter the cell nuclei after internalized in tumor cells. The DOX-loaded NPs exhibit efficient intracellular delivery in tumor cells with co-localization in lysosome and delay entering into the nucleus, which suggests a time- and pH-dependent drug release profile within cells. When applied to deliver chemotherapeutics to a mouse xenograft model of human lung adenocarcinoma, DOX-loaded NPs have a comparable antitumor activity with free DOX, and greatly reduce systemic toxicity and mortality. The delivery of cytotoxic drugs directly to the nucleus specifically within tumor cells is of great interest. These results demonstrate the feasibility of the application of the amphiphilic polyaspartic acid derivative, poly(AA-co-LA)/DPPE, as a nanocarrier for cell nuclear delivery of potent antitumor drugs.

DNA-wrapped carbon nanotubes as sensitive electrochemical labels in controlled-assembly-mediated signal transduction for the detection of sequence-specific DNA

A novel electrochemical strategy that uses DNA-wrapped carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as electrochemical labels is developed for sensitive and selective detection of sequence-specific DNA. The presence of target DNA mediates the formation of a sandwiched complex between the DNA-wrapped CNT and a hairpin DNA capture probe immobilized on magnetic beads. This allows target-selective collection of the CNT labels by magnetic separation and transfer on the electrode surface modified with an insulating self-assembled monolayer (SAM). After treatment with N,N-dimethylformamide, the collected sandwiched complex releases the bare CNTs and facilitates the removal of magnetic beads from the electrode surface. The bare CNTs can then assemble on the SAM-modified electrode surface and mediate efficient electron transfer between the electrode and the electroactive species in the solution with a strong current signal generated. The results indicate that the developed strategy shows a sensitive response to target DNA with a desirable signal gain and a low detection limit of 0.9 pM. This strategy is also demonstrated to provide excellent differentiation of single-base mismatch in target DNA. It is expected that this electrochemical strategy may hold great potential as a novel platform for clinical diagnostics and genetic analysis.
