A Voltage Control Method for a Distributed Line Feeder by means of Multiagent Approach

This paper proposes a method for the coordinated control of power factor by means of a multiagent approach. The proposed multiagent system consists of two types of agent: single feeder agent (F_AG) and bus agent (B_AG). In the proposed system, an F_AG plays as an important role, which decides the power factors of all distributed generators by executing the load flow calculations repeatedly. The voltage control strategies are implemented as the class definition of Java into the system. In order to verify the performance of the proposed method, it has been applied to a typical distribution model system. The simulation results show that the system is able to control very violent fluctuation of the demands and the photovoltaic (PV) generations.     

膨胀石墨对各种油类的吸附动力学

通过对吸附率(有效吸附系数)Ks和饱和吸附量msat的测量,描述了粘度为0.001 Pa·s～0.850 Pa·s的各种油类在膨胀石墨柱中的吸附动力学,发现吸附率Ks对油类粘度有很强的相关性.吸入膨胀石墨柱中的饱和吸附量msat几乎恒定在50kg/kg,该值略低于由膨胀石墨块直接浸渍在油中测得的吸附容量,这是由于所吸附的油沿膨胀石墨柱高度存在重力梯度.     

The Influence Analysis that a Phase Characteristic of the High‐Level Earthquake Gives to Vibration Response Characteristic of the 550‐kV Disconnectors

We developed the 550‐kV disconnectors that strengthened earthquake proofing by the addition of the damper unit and weight reduction of conductive part based on the damage of the 550‐kV disconnectors by the Great East Japan earthquake (March 11, 2011) and inspected the earthquake proofing performance by shake table test. In shake table test, we performed the test by the artificial seismic wave that varied in phase characteristic in addition to the test by resonance method. And, in a high‐level earthquake area, we analyzed it about the influence that a phase characteristic of the artificial seismic wave gave to stress to occur in disconnectors. As a result, it is thought that the stress to occur in disconnectors is decided by a primary natural frequency basically because a bending strain to occur to the disconnectors in the time when the resonance frequency ingredient becomes the big acceleration response value grows big. But, on a particular phase condition, it was confirmed that the bending strain to occur in disconnectors might grow big conspicuously. As for this, the possibility is thought about by influence of higher natural frequency doing superposition.     

加速器质谱测量129I方法的改进

在筑波大学的12UD串列加速器上开发了一套改进的129I加速器质谱(AMS)测量方法,包括在120°磁铁后安装了一副自行设计制作有静电偏转板,有效改善了对127I束流和129I计数的测量;采用97MoO2分子导航束稳定加速器端电压,加速器的端电压能稳定在几天内不超过0.1%,结合二次剥离,取得了满意的测量效果.用该方法测得AgI试剂样品的本底水平为7.83×10-13.对129I/127I比值范围为(4.92～0.28)×10-10的一系列样品的测量不确定度在7%以下,准确度较前有所提高.     

Fermentation of Soy Sauce with Immobilized Whole Cells

Soy sauce was produced continuously for 80 days in 280 liter column-type reactors containing immobilized whole cells of Pediococcus halophilus, Saccharomyces rouxii, and Torulopsis versatilis entrapped in calcium alginate gels. The divided lactic acid and alcohol fermentation by viable cells of three kinds with feed solution obtained from enzymatic hydrolyzate of koji and defatted soybean meal proceeded in shorter time than a complex fermentation of moromi (soy sauce mash) in the slurry state. The refined products fermented by this process had good taste and flavor, and were close to the conventional soy sauce with respect to organic acid and aroma components.     

SOME METHODS FOR ANALYSIS OF SOLVENT EXTRACTION DATA AND THEIR APPLICATIONS

Abstract

Three programs develpoed to analyze data for liquid-liquid extraction of metal have been applied to the calculation of the stability constants of aqueous cadmium(II)-thiocyanato complexes by using the data for the extraction of tricaprylmethylammonium salt in benzene. The resulting stability constants of the aqueous thiocyanato complexes determined were: for the trial and error method log β₁ = 2·97, log β₂ = 3·70, log β₃ =3·50 and log β₄ =3·28; for the Gauss method log β₁ = 2·91, log β₂ = 3·70, log β₃ =3·35 and log β₄ = 3·29; for the Newton-Gauss method for log β₁ = 2·47, log β₂ =3·24, log β₃ =2·29 and log β₄ = 2·85     

Antioxidant Activity of Fungus Suihs bovinus (L: Fr.) O. Kuntze

Two major antioxidative compounds were isolated from wild mushrooms, Suillus bovinus (L: Fr.) O. Kuntze, and studied for antioxidative activity by comparison with other antioxidants, BHA and tocopherol. One compound was an orange pigment identified as variegatic acid (3,3′,4,4′-tetrahydroxy puluvinic acid) and the other was an orange-red pigment, possibly diboviquinone-4,4. The variegatic acid had strong antioxidative activity in an emulsion system as shown by peroxide value (POV) of linoleic acid and in an oil system as shown by the POV of methyl linoleate and weight gain of soybean oil. The second compound was active only in the emulsion system.     

Low-Molecular Weight Components in Sarcoplasm Promoting the Color Formation of Processed Meat Products

Possible endogenous components having a promoting effect on the color formation of processed meat products were identified from two subfractions, B and C, in the low-molecular weight sarcoplasm fraction. Thin-layer chromatography indicated that subfraction B contained GSH, ATP and IMP, while subfraction C contained IMP and ribose. The presence of GSH and IMP in subfraction B was confirmed by the ultraviolet absorption spectra. GSH promoted the color formation and the decomposition of nitrite in both aqueous model and meat systems. The promoting effect was remarkable in the former system. ATP, IMP and ribose enhanced CFA when added with GSH to the meat system. This suggests that the combined action of these identified endogenous components contribute to the color formation of processed meat products in the rapid curing process.     

Effects of Grain Size and Porosity on Electrical and Optical Properties of PLZT Ceramics

A group of transparent ferroelectric hot-pressed (Pb_0.92La_0.08)-(Zr_0.65Ti_0.35)_0.98O₃ specimens with controlled grain size and constant porosity and a group of similar specimens with controlled porosity and constant grain size were prepared. The electrical and optical constants and polarization-reversal properties of these ceramics were determined as functions of grain size and porosity. When poled PLZT ceramics were aged, the polarization-reversal characteristic was quite asymmetric, apparently because a space-charge field, E_8p , was generated during aging. From a detailed study of the behavior of the E_8p , including its (1) generation with increasing aging time, (2) relaxation with repeated polarization reversals, (3) relaxation by heat depolarization, and (4) grain-size and porosity dependence, it is concluded that the space-charge layer is present inside every domain. This layer also explains the grain-size dependencies of the remanent polarization, piezoelectric constants, and Curie point.
