RCC拱坝的封拱温度与温度荷载研究

在对RCC拱坝封拱温度与温度荷载特点分析的基础上,用4座不同坝高的RCC拱坝分别以坝体多年平均温度和由仿真分析计算得到的蓄水时的实际温度作为温度荷载的计算起点,用有限元等效应力法计算不同坝高的坝体应力,根据计算结果讨论不同坝高时RCC拱坝的封拱温度与温度荷载。计算表明,以多年平均温度作为封拱温度计算温度荷载与仿真方法计算的温度荷载的差距随着坝高的增大而增大。对于100m以上的拱坝应该用仿真分析的方法研究温度荷载,以确定真实的封拱温度;不进行二期水冷和封拱灌浆时,对于100m以上的高拱坝,要进行充分论证,一般坝踵可能会出现较大拉应力而引起坝踵开裂;对于RCC高拱坝应采用冷却水管和分缝相结合的方式,在蓄水前通过二期水冷使坝体温度下降到设计封拱温度后进行封拱灌浆,以减小运行期的温度荷载。

Reduction of in vitro allergenicity of buckwheat Fag e 1 through the Maillard-type glycosylation with polysaccharides

A major allergenic protein of buckwheat, Fag e 1 prepared from common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum), was covalently linked with food-grade polysaccharides, arabinogalactan or xyloglucan through the controlled dry-heating at 60 °C under 65% relative humidity. The introduction of polysaccharide chain onto the molecular surface of Fag e 1 reduced the allergenicity of Fag e 1. The results revealed that the Maillard-type glycosylation of Fag e 1 with polysaccharides brought about a drastic reduction of the reactivity against human sera of buckwheat-allergy subjects, using immuno dot-blotting, QCM analysis and ELISA. In addition, the glycosylation of Fag e 1 yielded a great improvement of its surface functionality. Solubility of Fag e 1 at the neutral pH was substantially increased up to 13.5 times and 9.6 times by the conjugation with arabinogalactan and xyloglucan, respectively. Emulsifying properties of Fag e 1 were also improved by the glycosylation, of which both emulsifying activity and emulsion stability were more than 6 times higher than those of the native protein.     

An expansion approach in rubber elasticity

We introduce an expansion approach to obtain the elastic free energy density in rubber elasticity. This new approach presents fast convergence for whole range of deformation. We apply this method to the freely jointed model and get an analytical form for the free elastic energy density in terms of the strain invariants. We use this expression to fit experimental data for PMDS network.     

Monitoring the sensorial quality and aroma through an electronic nose in peaches during cold storage

BACKGROUND: The poor eating quality of fresh peaches transported to far markets is one of the main problems that fresh‐fruit exporting countries have to face. This research is focused on the evaluation of the sensorial quality, with emphasis on aroma, of four peach cultivars kept in long‐term storage, through maturity parameters, sensorial attributes and electronic nose (e‐nose) assessments. Fruits were stored at 0 °C and 90% elative humidity, for 14, 28 and 42 days. Evaluations were carried out after the fruit was taken out of cold storage and after a variable period of ripening at 21 °C, until flesh firmness reached 1–2 kgf. RESULTS: On fruit recently harvested, the e‐nose was suitable for discriminating among cultivars, even if it corresponded to an early pre‐climacteric phase. As cold storage proceeded, liking degree, and specially aroma, declined for each cultivar tested. Cultivars showed different behavior patterns for liking degree and especially aroma during cold storage. Flavor showed significant correlation with sweetness (r = 0.92), juiciness (r = 0.92) and texture (r = 0.93), but not with aroma and acidity, being these last ones being independent from each other. CONCLUSION: Post‐harvest storage life of peaches is limited by loss of quality. ‘Tardibelle’ peaches showed the highest quality attribute scores after 42 days of cold storage. This evidences the availability of commercial peach cultivars which are able to withstand long‐term storage periods, allowing far markets to be reached with high quality standards.

Plasma-spray coated rare-earth oxides on molybdenum disilicide – High temperature stable emitters for thermophotovoltaics

Selective emitters for thermophotovoltaics consisting of intermetallic alloy MoSi₂ substrate with plasma-spray coated rare-earth oxides ytterbium oxide Yb₂O₃, Yb-doped garnet Yb_1.5Y_1.5Al₅O₁₂, and erbium oxide Er₂O₃ have been successfully tested till 1650 °C. The emitters are fully operable in an oxygen containing atmosphere, are highly thermal shock stable, and show good selective emitting properties. Shielding the high out-of-band emittance of the MoSi₂ substrate with a 4 μm thick Pt intermediate layer has resulted in reduced radiation power and emittance of the rare-earth oxide film due to multiple reflections at the interfaces. The novel technique of vacuum plasma-spray coated rare-earth oxide films on MoSi₂ is a promising way for the production of effective and high temperature stable selective thermophotovoltaic emitters.     

Feedback control with signal transmission after‐effects

In many practical systems, the physical plant, controller, sensor, and actuator are difficult to be located at the same place, and thus signals are required to be transmitted from one place to another. One immediate problem arising from such situations is that signals may exhibit after‐effect phenomena during their transmission. In this paper, we present a new model to characterize the state‐feedback control systems with signal transmission after‐effects, which deals with the transmission after‐effects from sensor to controller and from controller to actuator separately. Analysis and synthesis results based on this new model are established by using a Lyapunov–Krasovskii approach. Numerical simulations are provided to illustrate the usefulness of the theoretical results. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

H∞ control for discrete‐time nonlinear switching systems

This paper formulates and solves the robust H^∞ control problem for discrete‐time nonlinear switching systems. The H^∞ control problem is interpreted as the l₂ finite gain control problem and is studied using a dissipative systems theory for switched systems. Both state and measurement feedback control problems are formulated as dynamic games and solved using dynamic programming. The partially observed dynamic game corresponding to the measurement feedback control problem is solved by transforming into a completely observed, full state infinite‐dimensional game problem using information states. Our results are illustrated with an example. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
