Heat generation rate in SOFC module was estimated under various thermal self-sustained conditions. SOFC module and system was designed to evaluate power generation property and temperature of module. Single cell was also evaluated the performance and electrode overpotential by impedance analysis under the similar condition to module power generation state. We estimated the heat generation rate with enthalpy calculation based on the actual module performance, and also with entropy calculation based on the impedance analysis of single cell. It was found that the heat generation rate calculated by enthalpy is approximately corresponded with that calculated by entropy. There still contains small error between heat generation rate calculated by enthalpy and that calculated by entropy. It was considered that these errors are originated from distribution in stack temperature and reforming gas temperature in the module. According to impedance analysis, it was found that the ohmic resistance is varied under operating condition and related with the current distribution which is calculated with the current path length in the cell. It was suggested that power generation state of module is affected by the current path length in the cell (in another word, distribution of power density) and distribution of overpotential; these phenomena is dominated by gas composition and thermal self-sustainable temperature. 相似文献

Streptococcus pyogenes can cause severe infections, such as toxic shock-like syndrome (TSLS). The transmission and pathogenesis of TSLS are poorly understood, and information is needed to develop prevention strategies. Four cases were identified in which the organism was transmitted among patients with TSLS and their family members. DNA macrorestriction endonuclease analysis using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis demonstrated the spread of S. pyogenes clones that caused TSLS among the family members. Although 14 persons related to the case-patients experienced only colonization or self-limited disease, 3 developed invasive infections (pneumonia, severe pharyngitis requiring hospitalization, and puerperal sepsis). These findings indicate that antimicrobial prophylaxis for close contacts of patients with TSLS should be considered and reinforce the need for further studies on epidemic control of TSLS. 相似文献

Susceptibilities to various antimicrobial agents were examined for Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp., and Pseudomonas aeruginosa that were isolated from patients with urinary tract infections (UTIs) in 10 hospitals during June 1996 to May 1997, and the results were compared with those obtained during the same period in earlier years. 1. E. faecalis Among E. faecalis strains, those with high susceptibilities to ampicillin and minocycline appeared to have decreased in the latest study period. 2. S. aureus To almost antimicrobial agents, S. aureus isolated from uncomplicated UTIs showed low susceptibilities. But the MIC50s of those agents for S. aureus from complicated UTIs have changed better state. Particularly, the MIC50s of imipenem and clindamycin were 0.125 microgram/ml or below in the latest period for the first time in our history. 3. E. coli The susceptibilities to piperacillin and quinolones of E. coli isolated from uncomplicated UTIs were better than those isolated from complicated UTIs. 4. Klebsiella spp. The susceptibilities to almost antimicrobial agents of Klebsiella spp. have been better during the latest period, compared to those during period of 1995-1996, but to ofloxacin and ciprofloxacin have appeared to have been lower. 5. P. aeruginosa The susceptibilities to quinolones of P. aeruginosa have been better during the latest period compared those during periods of 1995-1996. But, the susceptibilities to cefozopran, carbapenems and monobactams of P. aeruginosa isolated from complicated UTIs appeared to have been lower. These susceptibility changes should be utilized in determining clinical treatments. 相似文献

Lactobionic acid was first found in a Caucasian fermented milk product popularly known as “Caspian Sea yogurt” in Japan. The presence of lactobionic acid in the fermented milk was indicated by the results of both high-performance anion-exchange chromatographic analysis with pulsed amperometric detection and mass spectrometric analysis. Thereafter, the acid was purified from the yogurt and analyzed by nuclear magnetic resonance. A substantial amount of lactobionic acid was found to be accumulated in the upper layer of the yogurt, especially within 10 mm from the surface. A total of 45 mg of lactobionic acid per 100 g of the upper yogurt layer was collected after 4 d of fermentation. The annual intake of lactobionic acid in individuals consuming 100 g of the yogurt every day would be 0.5 to 1.0 g. A lactose-oxidizing bacterium was isolated from the fermented milk and was identified as Acetobacter orientalis. Washed A. orientalis cells oxidized monosaccharides such as d-glucose at considerable rates, although their activities for substrates such as lactose, maltose, and cellobiose were much lower. When A. orientalis cells were cultivated in cow's milk, they exhibited lactose-oxidizing activity, suggesting that this bacterium was the main organism involved in the production of lactobionic acid in the yogurt. 相似文献

The frequencies of isolation and susceptibilities to antimicrobial agents were investigated on 680 bacterial strains isolated from patients with urinary tract infections (UTIs) in 10 hospitals during the period of June 1996 to May 1997. Of the above bacterial isolates, Gram-positive bacteria accounted for 30.4% and a majority of them were Enterococcus faecalis. Gram-negative bacteria accounted for 69.6% and most of them were Escherichia coli. Susceptabilities of several isolated bacteria to antimicrobial agents were as followed; 1. Enterococcus faecalis Ampicillin (ABPC) showed the highest activity against E. faecalis isolated from patients with UTIs. Its MIC90 was 1 microgram/ml. Imipenem (IPM) and vancomycin (VCM) were also active with the MIC90S of 2 micrograms/ml. The others had low activities with the MIC90S of 16 micrograms/ml or above. 2. Staphylococcus aureus including MRSA Arbekacin (ABK) and VCM showed the highest activities against both S. aureus and MRSA isolated from patients with UTIs. The MIC90S of them were 1 or 2 micrograms/ml. The others except minocycline (MINO) had low activities with the MIC90S of 32 micrograms/ml or above. 3.

Recent introduction of alpha-emitting radionuclides in targeted radionuclide therapy has stimulated the development of new radiopharmaceuticals. Preclinical evaluation using an animal experiment with an implanted tumor model is frequently used to examine the efficiency of the treatment method and to predict the treatment response before clinical trials. Here, we propose a mathematical model for evaluation of the tumor response in an implanted tumor model and apply it to the data obtained from the previous experiment of 211At treatment in a thyroid cancer mouse model. The proposed model is based on the set of differential equations, describing the kinetics of radiopharmaceuticals, the tumor growth, and the treatment response. First, the tumor growth rate was estimated from the control data without injection of 211At. The kinetic behavior of the injected radionuclide was used to estimate the radiation dose profile to the target tumor, which can suppress the tumor growth in a dose-dependent manner. An additional two factors, including the time delay for the reduction of tumor volume and the impaired recovery of tumor regrowth after the treatment, were needed to simulate the temporal changes of tumor size after treatment. Finally, the parameters obtained from the simulated tumor growth curve were able to predict the tumor response in other experimental settings. The model can provide valuable information for planning the administration dose of radiopharmaceuticals in clinical trials, especially to determine the starting dose at which efficacy can be expected with a sufficient safety margin. 相似文献

A typical formula for shampoo containing cationic polymers and anionic/amphoteric surfactants exhibits liquid–liquid phase separation under certain conditions when the shampoo is diluted with water upon the actual use in bathroom. The lower dense phase is considered to be an insoluble complex formed with the cationic polymer and mixed surfactants. Generally, this associative liquid–liquid phase separation is called 'coacervation' and the phase of complex is called 'coacervate'. Although it is well known that the usage texture of shampoo is influenced by coacervate, there are only a few reports about their relationship. In this work, we studied the properties of coacervate and its effect on the usage texture of shampoo, particularly focusing on the effect of the cationic polymer structure. We prepared five different model shampoos that contain various cationic polymers and studied the effect of the characteristics of the polymers on the condition of the complex formations, the amount of coacervate, the rheological properties and the adhesive behaviour of coacervate on the surface of damaged hair. It was found that both the structure and the degree of substitution of cationic polymer drastically changed the condition of coacervation. Moreover, the cationic polymers showed remarkable effect on the rheological properties and the adhesive behaviour of the coacervate on the damaged hair. These results implied that we could control the usage texture of shampoo by choosing proper cationic polymers to control coacervation. 相似文献

This paper describes a behavior acquisition of virtual robots by evolving artificial neural network (EANN) with a gradual learning. The gradual learning is a method in which initial states of simulation for evaluation is changing as optimization progresses. Motion of virtual robot is calculated by the physical engine PhysX, and it is controlled by an ANN. Parameters of an ANN are optimized by particle swarm optimization (PSO) so that a virtual robot follows the given target. Experimental results show that the gradual learning is better than a common learning method, realizing the standing behaviors which are not acquired by a common learning at all. It is also shown that random initialization of solutions in the middle of optimization leads to better behaviors. 相似文献

The objective of this study is to realize efficient learning for the high generalization ability of evolutionary artificial neural network (EANN). In order to achieve this objective, the evolutionary process of behavior acquisition is analyzed, and then an efficient evaluation function is led by the analysis. An artificial flying creature (AFC) is controlled to fly towards a given target point by EANN. The three-dimensional motion of the AFC is calculated by the physical engine PhysX and a numerical expression of the simple drag force. To evolve ANNs and to have the AFC flight suitably for given target points, particle swarm optimization optimizes parameters of ANNs. The results of evolutionary simulation show that generalization ability of ANNs does not always increase as evolution progresses, and it depends on given tasks of the AFC. It is also shown that diversity of input signals about target points, which the AFC goes through in flight, has positive correlation with generalization ability. 相似文献
