Changes in the content and antioxidative activity of β-carotene and its metabolite vitamin A during gastrointestinal digestion and absorption and optimisation of HPLC-based detection

The β-Carotene (BC), an important precursor of vitamin A (VA), possesses antioxidant activity but is fat-soluble and has low bioavailability. In previous in-vitro assays evaluating antioxidant and 2,2′-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH) free radical scavenging, both BC and VA showed a strong ability to scavenge radicals and protected cells from oxidative stress. Here, we used artificially simulated gastrointestinal digestion and Caco-2 cell absorption models to evaluate the bioavailability of the BC during gastrointestinal digestion and absorption using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. We observed high absorptive and transfer rates of BC and detected retinol metabolites (Vitamin A). Therefore, BC can be detected in the acidic gastrointestinal environment using HPLC. Optimised method provided better separation of BC and VA in the column, improving the accuracy of the test results.     

A data-driven digital-twin prognostics method for proton exchange membrane fuel cell remaining useful life prediction

Prognostics and health management of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) systems have driven increasing research attention in recent years as the durability of PEMFC stack remains as a technical barrier for its large-scale commercialization. To monitor the health state during PEMFC operation, digital twin (DT), as a smart manufacturing technique, is applied in this paper to establish an ensemble remaining useful life prediction system. A data-driven DT is constructed to integrate the physical knowledge of the system and a deep transfer learning model based on stacked denoising autoencoder is used to update the DT with online measurement. A case study with experimental PEMFC degradation data is presented where the proposed data-driven DT prognostics method has applied and reached a high prediction accuracy. Furthermore, the predicted results are proved to be less affected even with limited measurement data.     

Effects of non-thermal plasma treating wheat kernel on the physicochemical properties of wheat flour and the quality of fresh wet noodles

The effects of non-thermal plasma (NTP) on the physicochemical properties of wheat flour and the quality of fresh wet noodles ( FWN) were investigated. The results showed that NTP effectively decreased the total plate count (TPC), yeast and mould count (YMC) and Bacillus spp. in wheat flour. Wet gluten contents and the stability time reached the maximum when treated for 20 s. The viscosity of starch increased significantly after treatment due to the increased of damaged starch. The contents of secondary structure were altered to some extent, which was because that the ordered network structure of gluten protein broken. Furthermore, compared with the control, texture properties of FWN were enhanced significantly at 20 s, and the darkening rate of FWN was greatly inhibited due to the low polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity. Consequently, the most suitable treatment was 500 W for 20 s, providing a basis for the application of NTP in flour products.

针对传统PET材料不具备抗菌、不耐洗等问题,以煎煮法为基础,以草珊瑚、艾叶和薄荷为原料,制备含植物活性成分的溶液,其具有抗菌、杀菌的作用;以溶胶-凝胶法为多孔材料制备方法,用十六烷基三甲基溴化铵、十二烷基苯磺酸钠表面活性剂为模板剂,正硅酸乙酯为有机硅源,氨水为催化剂,乙醇和乙醚为助溶剂,在水-乙醇-乙醚体系中合成多孔二氧化硅微球;然后,多孔二氧化硅微球与提取液混合制备含植物活性成分的多孔二氧化硅分子巢;最后以制备的多孔二氧化硅分子巢与普通的聚酯切片用熔融纺丝工艺进行造粒、纺丝,得到具有抗菌、杀菌和耐洗的多功能涤纶纤维.通过SEM微观观察和力学性能测试、抗菌试验、耐洗性测试,对上述制备的多功能涤纶纤维性能进行验证.结果表明:在模板剂总浓度为0.029 mol·L-1、V醇:V醚=20:20、两种表面活性剂比为4:1时,得到的多孔SiO2微球排列规整;当多孔二氧化硅分子巢掺量(质量分数)在0.5％～1％时,通过熔融共混纺丝得到的新型多功能涤纶纤维力学性能表现最优;当多孔二氧化硅分子巢掺量(质量分数)在1％时,得到的新型多功能涤纶纤维的抗菌性能达到87.9％.而二氧化硅分子巢掺量越高,纤维材料越耐洗.以上结果说明本试验制备涤纶纤维的方案可行.     

基于阶段注意力机制的电力线提取算法

电力系统维护是电力系统稳定运行的重要保障，应用智能算法的无人机电力巡检则为电力系统维护提供便捷。电力线提取是自主电力巡检以及保障飞行器低空飞行安全的关键技术，结合深度学习理论进行电力线提取是电力巡检的重要突破点。本文将深度学习方法用于电力线提取任务，结合电力线图像特点嵌入改进的图像输入策略和注意力模块，提出一种基于阶段注意力机制的电力线提取模型（SA-Unet）。本文提出的SA-Unet模型编码阶段采用阶段输入融合策略（Stage input fusion strategy， SIFS），充分利用图像的多尺度信息减少空间位置信息丢失。解码阶段通过嵌入阶段注意力模块（Stage attention module，SAM）聚焦电力线特征，从大量信息中快速筛选出高价值信息。实验结果表明，该方法在复杂背景的多场景中具有良好的性能。
