High‐pressure processing effects on the mechanical,barrier and mass transfer properties of food packaging flexible structures: a critical review

Food products can be high‐pressure processed (HPP) either in bulk or prepackaged in flexible or semi‐rigid packaging materials. In the latter case the packaging material is subjected, together with the food, to high‐pressure treatment. A number of studies have been performed to quantify the effects of high‐pressure processing on the physical and barrier properties of the packaging material, since the integrity of the package during and after processing is of paramount importance to the safety and quality of the food product. This article reviews the results of published research concerning the effect of HPP on packaging materials. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

介质阻挡放电反应器降解邻二甲苯的特性研究

采用介质阻挡放电(DBD)降解常压下流动态的邻二甲苯模拟废气,系统地考察了放电极值电压,气体的初始质量浓度、停留时间以及相对湿度等工艺参数对邻二甲苯降解的影响,并初步探讨了邻二甲苯的降解产物.实验研究结果表明:在7.0kV的放电极间电压下,邻二甲苯的初始质量浓度为1 500mg/m3,停留时间为9s,其去除率可达到80%以上.降解产物主要为CO2、H2O以及苯甲酸、苯乙酸、苯乙醛等有机物,并且经降解后产物的生物可生化性得到提高,因而为后续的等离子-生物法联合处理VOCs提供了依据.     

Image-based extended finite element modeling of thermal barrier coatings

Further advances in Thermal Barrier Coating (TBC) design are linked with the evolution of numerical models for TBCs. The present paper, therefore, enhances the idea of a currently available FEM package (OOF) that has been designed for microstructural level simulations. The approach of Extended FEM (XFEM) is incorporated in an in-house developed program to account for the existence of cracks in TBCs; both for stress-strain analysis and for heat transfer analysis. The new XFEM program is then employed to carry out the analyses of a YSZ deposit and a multilayered TBC to predict the effective Young's moduli, the overall thermal conductivities, and to assess the fracture behavior of the coating.     

TBC experience in land- based gas turbines

This paper summarizes prior and on-going machine evaluations of thermal barrier coatings (TBC) for power generation, that is large industrial gas turbine applications. Rainbow testing of TBCs on turbine nozzles, shrouds, and buckets are described along with a test of combustor liners. General Electric Power Generation has conducted more than IS machine tests on TBC turbine nozzles with various coatings. TBC performance has been quite good, and additional testing, including TBCs on shrouds and buckets, is continuing. Included is a brief comparison of TBC requirements for power generation and aircraft turbines.     

Food-water security and virtual water trade in the Middle East and North Africa

The purpose of this study is to analyze the political economy of food-water security in the water-scarce Middle East and North Africa region. The study deploys the lens of virtual water trade to determine how the region's economies have met their rising food-water requirements over the past three decades. It is shown that the region's water and food security currently depend to a considerable extent on water from outside the region, ‘embedded’ in food imports and accessed through trade. The analysis includes blue (surface and groundwater) and green water resources.     

EVA-g-GMA的制备及其对PLA/PHBV共混物性能的影响

通过熔融聚合法先制备了乙烯-醋酸乙烯酯接枝甲基丙烯酸缩水甘油酯(EVA-gGMA),采用红外光谱仪和核磁共振对EVA-g-GMA的结构进行了表征。然后将不同质量分数的EVA-g-GMA加入到聚乳酸/聚(3-羟基丁酸酯-co-3-羟基戊酸酯)(PLA/PHBV)共混物中,对共混物的性能进行研究。结果表明:GMA成功接枝到EVA上,随着EVA-g-GMA加入量的增加,PHBV与PLA的Tg升高,结晶度逐渐下降;分散相在PLA基体中的分散逐渐均匀,粒径减小,相界面渐渐模糊;在EVA-g-GMA加入后,共混物粘度升高,断裂伸长率和冲击强度分别可达290.9%和43.5KJ·m-2,三元共混物的水蒸气阻隔性相对于PLA/PHBV略有下降。综合考虑各种因素,EVA-g-GMA的加入使得PLA/PHBV的整体性能得到极大改善。     

基于新障碍参数更新的二阶Mehrotra型预估—校正算法

针对二阶Mehrotra型预估-校正算法的一种变型算法,本文介绍一种新的自适应障碍参数更新法。利用该更新方法提出了相应的算法。新算法与之前的二阶Mehrotra型预估-校正算法相比,不用根据预估步和校正步的步长来确定参数的更新,而是在每步迭代中都采用自适应更新。最后证明了该算法在没有引进任何＂保障措施＂的情况下也具有相同的多项式时间复杂度。     

Barrier Trees on Poset-Valued Landscapes

Fitness landscapes have proved to be a valuable concept in evolutionary biology, combinatorial optimization, and the physics of disordered systems. Usually, a fitness landscape is considered as a mapping from a configuration space equipped with some notion of adjacency, nearness, distance, or accessibility, into the real numbers. In the context of multi-objective optimization problems this concept can be extended to poset-valued landscapes. In a geometric analysis of such a structure, local Pareto points take on the role of local minima. We show that the notion of saddle points, barriers, and basins can be extended to the poset-valued case in a meaningful way and describe an algorithm that efficiently extracts these features from an exhaustive enumeration of a given generalized landscape.
