Étude du refroidissement avec solidification d'un fluide pseudoplastique thermodépendant

Heat transfer of highly consistent shear-thinning fluids flowing in a horizontal cylindrical channel has been investigated numerically and experimentally when the outer channel wall is subjected to a constant convective heat exchange. The case considered being cooling, a possible ice deposit must be taken into account. The variation of the rheological properties with temperature must be considered as well.     

Wetting of AgCu-Ti filler on porous Si3N4 ceramic and brazing of the ceramic to TiAl alloy

The effect of Ti content on the wettability of AgCu-Ti filler on porous Si₃N₄ ceramic was studied by the sessile drop method. AgCu-2 wt% Ti filler alloy showed a minimum contact angle of 14.6° on porous Si₃N₄ ceramic during the isothermal wetting process. The mechanism of AgCu-Ti filler wetting on porous Si₃N₄ ceramic is clarified in this paper. Porous Si₃N₄ ceramic was brazed to TiAl alloy using AgCu-xTi (x = 0, 2 wt%, 4 wt%, 6 wt%, 8 wt%) filler alloy at 880 °C for 10 min. The effect of Ti content on the interfacial microstructure and mechanical properties of porous-Si₃N₄/AgCu-xTi/TiAl joints are studied. The typical interfacial microstructure of p-Si₃N₄/AgCu-Ti/TiAl joint is p-Si₃N₄/penetration layer (Ag(s,s)+Si₃N₄+TiN+Ti₅Si₃)/Ag(s,s)+Cu(s,s)+TiCu/AlCu₂Ti/TiAl. The maximum shearing strength of the brazed joint was 14.17 MPa and fracture that occurred during the shearing test propagated in the porous Si₃N₄ ceramic substrate for the formation of the penetration layer.     

Using Turmeric Oil as a Solvent Improves the Distribution of Sesamin-Sesamolin in the Serum and Brain of Mice

Accumulation of amyloid-β peptide is associated with Alzheimer's dementia. Previously, we reported that sesamin and sesamolin inhibited β-secretase activity in vitro, and each was transported to the serum and brain in mice after oral administration. However, the bioavailability of sesamin and sesamolin was poor in mice. In this study, we aimed to improve the bioavailability of sesamin and sesamolin. We found that the levels of sesamin and sesamolin in mouse serum and brain were higher after the administration of a mixture of sesame extract and turmeric oil (MST) than those after administering sesame extract alone. Serum sesamin and sesamolin contents in the MST-treated group were 23-fold and 15-fold higher, respectively, than those in the sesame extract-treated group. Brain sesamin and sesamolin contents in the MST-treated group were 14-fold and 11-fold higher, respectively, than those in the sesame extract-treated group. These results suggest that turmeric oil is an effective solvent to enhance the bioavailability of sesamin and sesamolin.

Length to diameter ratio of extrudates in catalyst technology I. Modeling catalyst breakage by impulsive forces

Natural or forced catalyst extrudate breakage is an important phenomenon during catalyst manufacture. Here, a two‐parameter model for predicting the reduction in the length to diameter ratio of catalyst extrudates due to breakage by impulsive forces as experienced in a laboratory drop test is developed. Part II will show how both parameters can be correlated with the strength of the extrudates and the severity of the drop test. For breakage by impulsive forces, the model reveals that extrudates are reduced in length to diameter ratio according to a pseudosecond‐order break law. Also, a tie‐in exists with the well‐known Golden Ratio that is famous for its inherent esthetic value. Applying the model to cases of “severity sequencing” and “severity conditioning” reveals the nonlinear behavior of the length to diameter ratio and yields results that are often nonintuitive and hard to get without this engineering analysis. © 2015 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 62: 639–647, 2016

Responses of MAC‐T Cells to Inhibited Stearoyl‐CoA Desaturase 1 during cis‐9, trans‐11 Conjugated Linoleic Acid Synthesis

Cis‐9‐conjugated, trans‐11‐conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is known for its positive activities on human health. The synthesis of cis‐9, trans‐11 CLA in mammary glands is generally thought to be catalyzed by stearoyl‐CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1), but this has not been rigorously established. In this study, we hypothesized that the inhibition of SCD1 (by CAY10566) would block the synthesis of cis‐9, trans‐11 CLA in bovine mammary alveolar cells (MAC‐T) cells. Results showed that MAC‐T cells incubated with 10 nM CAY10566 for 12 h (CAY) produced less cis‐9, trans‐11 CLA (p < 0.01), lower 14:1/(14:1 + 14:0)% (p < 0.01), more trans‐11 18:1 (TVA) accumulation (p < 0.01), and reduced SCD1 mRNA levels (p < 0.01) compared with the control group (CON). Moreover, the mRNA abundances of sterol regulatory element‐binding protein 1 [SREBPF1], acyl‐CoA synthetase short‐chain family member 2 [ACSS2], and lipin 1 [LPIN1] were significantly elevated when SCD1 was inhibited in the CAY group (p < 0.05). Taken together, CAY10566 inhibition of SCD1 resulted in lower cis‐9, trans‐11 CLA synthesis ability, and SREBF1, ACSSS2, and LPIN1 were negatively associated with SCD1. These findings not only provide the direct evidence that cis‐9, trans‐11 CLA synthesis is catalyzed by SCD1, but also help us understand the responses of MAC‐T cells to SCD1 inhibition.     

Synthesis of novel pseudo‐Fréchet‐type dendrons and their fluorescent enhancement to Eu3+ ion

Novel pseudo‐Fréchet‐type dendrons with 1,3,5‐triazine structure G1.0(NOT) and G2.0(NOT) were synthesized under mild conditions by cyanuric chloride, β‐naphthol, and 3,5‐dihydroxybenzyl alcohol with the yields of 96.3 and 85.6%. The structure of the dendrons was characterized by elementary analysis, IR spectrum, ¹H‐NMR, and FAB‐MS. The dendrons had good thermo stability and solubility. They could partially transfer their absorbed energy to Eu³⁺ ion in tetrahydrofuran/acetone solutions. When the concentration of G1.0(NOT), G2.0(NOT), and Eu³⁺ ion was 5 × 10^?4 mol/L, G1.0(NOT) could enhance the fluorescent intensity of Eu³⁺ ion at 613 nm by 4.2‐fold, whereas G2.0(NOT) could enhance the fluorescent intensity of Eu³⁺ ion at 465 and 613 nm by 18.6‐ and 11.7‐fold, respectively. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
