Real‐time monitoring by proton relaxometry of radical polymerization reactions of acrylamide in aqueous solution

The potential of time‐domain nuclear magnetic resonance (TD‐NMR) for the real‐time monitoring of solution radical polymerizations is demonstrated. A model system composed of a redox‐pair initiator system, acrylamide as monomer and water as solvent was investigated. A second‐generation continuous wave free precession technique was employed to measure the longitudinal relaxation time constant (T₁) of the samples throughout the polymerization reactions. This parameter was shown to be sensitive to the reactant feed free‐radical enhancement of the water molecule relaxation time, making it a good probe to monitor monomer conversion in real time in an automated, non‐destructive fashion. It was found that the T₁ value was better than the transverse relaxation time constant (T₂) for describing the evolution of the polymerization reactions, due to its greater sensitivity to paramagnetic effects. The TD‐NMR signal variation observed was linked to the formation, propagation and termination steps of the radical polymerization kinetics scheme. These first results may contribute to the application of real‐time monitoring of radical polymerization reactions employing low‐cost and robust TD‐NMR spectrometers. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry     

Inferring kinetic dissolution of NaCl in aqueous glycol solution using a low-cost apparatus and population balance model

An experimental methodology for inferring brine dissolution rate in monoethylene glycol (MEG) solutions at different temperatures using a webcam combined with a mathematical model is presented. The measurement system is designed to track the RGB (red, green, and blue) colour variations during the dissolution process. A dynamic model augmented with the population balance equation is applied to describe the dissolution process. Moreover, the dissolution rate is consistently related to the temperature and MEG concentration through the driving force based on the Gibbs energy and chemical affinity. The applied low-cost measurement apparatus proved to be a useful resource for tracking the dissolution dynamics in a wide range of undersaturation.     

用动态规划神经网络模型研究多水库系统的水量分配(下)

为了分析多水库系统中两座水库之间灌溉用水的分配问题，建立了基到动态规划的神经网络模型。为了研究从一座上游水库取水在下游两座之库之间进行水量分配的问题，提出了3个状态变量和4个决策变量的改进的动态规划算法。采用神经网络模型，用3个状态变量动态规划算法得出调度原则，就所研究的多水库系统实例来说，新的动态规划神经网络模型的性能很好，将该模型的性能与临时凑合的标准调度原则和以前推荐使用的约束动态规划神经网络模型进行了比较。

河床变形对水电站动力设备工作条件的影响

水电站运行过程中河床变形会使河底高程逐渐降低。从而导致下游流量特性曲线下降以及水电站水头增大。水头增大使水电站气蚀特性发生变化，导致动力设备的正常工作条件受到破坏。并对其运行安全性和效率造成不利影响。以卡马河的沃特金水电站为例，阐述了河床变形对水电站动力设备工作条件的影响。     

关于21世纪的综合水管理(下)

必须利用水库多蓄水，另外再通过回灌把水蓄在含水层中供缺水时使用。城市废水也是一种重要水资源，但．必须加强规划和管理以防止造成对健康的负面影响，用于灌溉时则应防止污染地下水。长期以来地下水不仅受到非点源污染，还因对其开采超过回灌导致含水层减少。在灌区，地下水位必须通过排水或抽水系统加以控制，以防止水涝和土壤盐碱化。含盐的水排出后必须妥善处置。缺水的国家可以通过从其他国家进口大部分粮食和电力来节水，这往往比开发本国的水资源划算。本地水源就可用于更具社会、生态或经济回报的用途．或以备不时之需。     

Unplanned pregnancy in Portugal

Cyclo 3 Fort is used in the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency. In this study, the effects of Cyclo 3 Fort, 2, 10 and 50 mg/kg, were studied in cheek pouch preparations from diabetic hamsters. The mean arteriolar diameter in animals receiving Cyclo 3 Fort, 10 and 50 mg/kg, was significantly greater than in control animals (p < 0.05), and the mean venule diameter was significantly lower in animals receiving the 50 mg/kg dose than in the control group. This suggests that Cyclo 3 Fort, 50 mg/kg/day, has a venotonic effect in diabetic animals. The venoarteriolar reflex was studied by measuring the internal diameter of arterioles during venular occlusion. The reflex was impaired in animals treated with either placebo or 2 mg/kg, but this was reversed by treatment with Cyclo 3 Fort, 10 and 50 mg/kg.     

辊筒非圆柱形对辊破碎机的破碎原理

传统对辊破碎机最普遍的两个特点是破碎比小和磨损率高，因而，使其不能经常在选矿流程中得到应用，它的很多优点却一直被人们所忽视。本文介绍一种被称为辊筒非圆柱形辊式破碎机（缩写为NCRC破碎机），其目的是克服传统对辊破碎机的以上缺点。NCRC破碎机具有两个交替排列的平面－凸圆面辊筒和平面－凹圆面辊筒组成，这两个奇特的辊筒外形增大了矿粒与辊筒之间的啮角，使得NCRC破碎机的破碎比比传统对辊机大，NCRC破碎机样机试验表明，即使对很硬的矿石也能获得破碎比大于10：1的结果。此外，幅地NCRC破碎机的破碎过程为对辊破碎机和颚式破碎机两种的联合作用，因而这种辊面外形变化的新式辊筒的磨损率得到降低。
