Temperature Affects Astringency Removal and Recurrence in Persimmon

Astringency was removed from‘Triumph’persimmons by immersion in water at 40°C for 5 hr or 60°C, for 1 hr. Similar treatments at 20° and 80°C, had no effect on astringency reduction. Subsequent application of 80% CO₂ for 48 hr was effective for 20°C-treated fruit but not for 80° C-treated fruit, which became nonastringent only after exposure to acetaldehyde. Extending the 60°C treatment beyond 2 hr resulted in recurrence of astringency, which was not reduced by subsequent CO₂ treatment. Astringency also recurred in CO₂-treated non-astringent fruit, when exposed to high temperatures. The disappearance and recurrence of astringency correlated with amount of methanol-soluble tannins.     

钴掺杂对氧化镍薄膜电致变色性能的影响

采用恒电位法在FTO玻璃上沉积Co与Ni摩尔比为0.16:1的薄膜,用X射线衍射仪、扫描电镜和能谱仪分析了膜的成分、结构和形貌,用紫外-可见分光光度计表征了膜的透光性能,用循环伏安法表征了膜的电化学稳定性和可逆性,用双电位阶跃法表征了膜的开关响应时间,研究了钴掺杂对氧化镍薄膜电致变色性能的影响。结果表明,钴掺杂使NiO薄膜颗粒更加细小和均匀,提高了薄膜在可见光波段着色态与消色态之间的透光率差值,降低了电致变色反应的工作电压,有利于薄膜在电致变色过程的可逆性,缩短了着色响应时间。

Electrochemical properties of novel organodisulfide poly 1,2-bis(thiophen-3-ylmethyl)disulfane as cathode material for secondary lithium batteries

We successfully synthesized a new organodisulfide poly 1,2-bis(thiophen-3-ylmethyl)disulfane by a facile preparation method. The types of the chemical groups of poly-3-thienylthiophene were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The electrochemical properties of S–S bonds redox behavior in the organodisulfides were investigated in CH₃CN/0.1 M [Bu₄N] [PF₆] solution. The separation of the anodic and cathodic peak potentials for poly 1,2-bis(thiophen-3-ylmethyl)disulfane is 180 mV. The results indicated that poly 1,2-bis(thiophen-3-ylmethyl)disulfane has an excellent electrochemical reversibility. The average specific capacity of 230 mAh g⁻¹ for poly-3-thienylthiophene is about 2 times higher than that of LiCoO₂.     

A Structure-Properties Relationship Study of Self-Healing Materials Based on Styrene and Furfuryl Methacrylate Cross-Linked via Diels–Alder Chemistry

A series of copolymers of styrene and furfuryl methacrylate characterized by various molecular structures (linear and star, block and random) is synthesized via atom transfer radical polymerization, and cross-linked with a bismaleimide by means of thermally reversible Diels–Alder (DA) reaction, to obtain self-healing materials. The prepared materials are studied in terms of gelation, swelling, thermal, and dynamic-mechanical analysis, with the aim of correlating relevant properties to their chemical structure. It is found that the furan/styrene ratio, as well as the molecular architecture, have a major influence on the properties. It is also found that the reversibility of the DA reaction is not complete in the solid state for materials with high cross-linking density. This study provides some important tools for the design of materials characterized by thermally reversible behavior, which find usually application as self-healing thermosets, coatings, or adhesives.     

REVERSED RESIDUALS IN AUTOREGRESSIVE TIME SERIES ANALYSIS

Abstract. Both linear and non-linear time series can have directional features which can be used to enhance the modelling and investigation of linear or non-linear autoregressive statistical models. For this purpose, reversed p th-order residuals are introduced. Cross-correlations of residuals and squared reversed residuals allow extensions of current model identification ideas. Quadratic types of partial autocorrelation functions are introduced to assess dependence associated with non-linear models which nevertheless have linear autoregressive correlation structures. The use of these residuals and their cross-correlation functions is exemplified empirically on some deseasonalized river flow data for which a first-order autoregressive model is a satisfactory second-order fit. Parallel theoretical computations are undertaken for the non-linear first-order random coefficient autoregressive model and comparisons are made. While the data are shown to be strongly non-linear, their correlational signatures are found to be convincingly different from those of a first-order autoregressive model with random coefficients.     

ABS/NBR热塑性硫化胶压缩Mullins效应及其可逆恢复的研究

研究丙烯腈-丁二烯-苯乙烯三元共聚物(ABS)/丁腈橡胶(NBR)热塑性硫化胶(TPV)的压缩Mullins效应及其可逆恢复。结果表明:NBR粒子均匀分散在TPV表面,其粒径为10~15μm;在循环单轴压缩过程中TPV出现明显Mullins效应,且同一压缩应变下,TPV的最大压缩应力、内耗和损耗因子(tanδ)均在第1次加载-卸载循环时达到最大,在第2次加载-卸载循环时显著下降,此后呈缓慢下降趋势;随着压缩次数增加,TPV的瞬时残余形变和应力软化因子(Ds)增大;随着压缩应变增大,TPV的最大压缩应力、瞬时残余形变、内耗和tanδ均显著增大,Ds减小;随着热处理温度升高,TPV在第2次循环压缩时最大压缩应力的恢复程度增大,热处理温度为110℃时,TPV压缩Mullins效应的恢复效果最佳。     

Assessing Time‐Reversibility Under Minimal Assumptions

Abstract. This article considers a simple procedure for assessing whether a weakly dependent univariate stochastic process is time‐reversible. Our approach is based on a simple index of the deviation from zero of the median of the one‐dimensional marginal law of differenced data. An attractive feature of the method is that it requires no moment assumptions. Instead of relying on Gaussian asymptotic approximations, we consider using subsampling and resampling methods to construct confidence intervals for the time‐reversibility parameter, and show that such inference procedures are asymptotically valid under a mild mixing condition. The small‐sample properties of the proposed procedures are examined by means of Monte Carlo experiments and an application to real‐world data is also presented.
