Effect of harvesting time and fruit size on titratable acidity, soluble solid and distribution of limonin in Thai tangerine juice

The effect of fruit size and harvesting of Thai tangerine fruit ( Citrus reticulata , Blanco) at different growth stages, 8–12 months after fruit set, on the distribution of limonin in whole fruit as well as in the individual fruit parts and extracted juice was investigated. The highest limonin concentration was observed in seed, followed by albedo, flavedo, segment membrane and juice sacs in decreasing order. The limonin concentration in juice as well as in whole fruit was decreased when fruit was harvested 8–12 months of fruit set. Increasing harvesting time from 8 to 12 months showed corresponding decreases in the amount of limonin in flavedo, albedo and seed. There was a decrease in titrable acidity and increase in total soluble solid and total soluble solid/titrable acidity ratio of juice with a later than normal harvesting time. However, fruit size showed no effect on limonin content and other properties of juice extracted from tangerine.     

磁流变阻尼器内部流体动能的能量采集

为了构建自供能式磁流变阻尼器内部实时状态监测传感系统,本文介绍了一种针对磁流变阻尼器内部流体能的能量采集装置。该装置被安装于磁流变阻尼器活塞顶端并为检测阻尼器内部工作参数的无线传感模块1供电。根据能量守恒定律,推导出磁流变阻尼器中磁流变液流动能的理论模型。通过实验测试分析了在不同的外界激励下能量采集装置的工作情况,证明了采集的电能随着活塞的运动频率增加而增加,而与磁流变阻尼器的磁流变特性没有明显的关系。测试表明利用此装置能较好的采集到来自于磁流变阻尼器内部流体流动产生的能量,为无线传感模块供电。     

Context dependence of phenotype prediction and diversity in combinatorial mutagenesis

Two different combinatorial mutagenesis experiments on the light-harvestingII (LH2) protein of Rhodobacter capsulatus indicate that heuristicrules relating sequence directly to phenotype are dependenton which sets or groups of residues are mutated simultaneously.Previously reported combinatorial mutagenesis of this chromogenicprotein (based on both phylogenetic and structural models) showedthat substituting amino acids with large molar volumes at Gly^ß31caused the mutated protein to have a spectrum characteristicof light-harvesting I (LH1). The six residues that underwentcombinatorial mutagenesis were modeled to lie on one side ofa transmembrane -helix that binds bacteriochlorophyll. In asecond experiment described here, we have not used structuralmodels or phylogeny in choosing mutagenesis sites. Instead,a set of six contiguous residues was selected for combinatorialmutagenesis. In this latter experiment, the residue substitutedat Gly^ß31 was not a determining factor in whetherLH2 or LH1 spectra were obtained; therefore, we conclude thatthe heuristic rules for phenotype prediction are context dependent.While phenotype prediction is context dependent, the abilityto identify elements of primary structure causing phenotypediversity appears not to be. This strengthens the argument forperforming combinatorial mutagenesis with an arbitrary groupingof residues if structural models are unavailable.

Li and Ta-modified KNN piezoceramic fibers for vibrational energy harvesters

Piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEH) hold enormous potential for converting mechanical energy from our surrounding environment into electrical energy that can be used for powering portable electronics. Potassium sodium niobate (KNN) is one of the promising alternatives to replace lead-based piezoelectric materials. This work presents a cutting-edge demonstration of synthesis-function-device integration of piezoelectric nanofibers, where the morphology and the composition are engineered towards achieving high device output. We report a flexible nanogenerator based on electrospun Li and Ta-modified lead-free KNN nanofibers yielding a high voltage output of 5.6 V, which is around 9-fold higher than for the Mn-doped KNN nanofibers reported previously. The influence of Li and Ta-incorporation into the KNN lattice on the electromechanical coupling and the effect of a nanofiber morphology are investigated. The net-shaped KNN and Li and Ta-modified KNN nanofibers, synthesized by electrospinning of appropriate sols, maintain their structural integrity upon calcination and firing steps. The phase analysis (XRD) confirms the formation of single-phase (KNN) material. Li and Ta are found to be incorporated on the A and B-sites of the perovskite lattice, respectively. Piezo force microscopy data show the heat-treated nanofibers to exhibit multi-domain ferroelectric properties.

Harvesting light with transformation optics

Transformation optics （TO） is a new tool for controlling electromagnetic fields. In the context of metamaterial technology, it provides a direct link between a desired electromagnetic （EM） phenomenon and the material response required for its occurrence. Recently, this powerful framework has been successfully exploited to study surface plasmon assisted phenomena such as light harvesting. Here, we review the general strategy based on TO to design plasmonic devices capable of harvesting light over a broadband spectrum and achieving considerable field confinement and enhancement. The methodology starts with two-dimensional （2D） cases, such as 2D metal edges, crescent-shaped cylinders, nanowire dimers, and rough metal surfaces, and is well extended to fully-fledged three-dimensional （3D） situations. The largely analytic approach gives physical insights into the processes involved and suggests a way forward to study a wide variety of plasmonic nanostructures.     

Synchronized switch harvesting applied to self-powered smart systems: Piezoactive microgenerators for autonomous wireless receivers

This paper introduces the conceptual architecture of a fully integrated, truly self-powered structural health monitoring (SHM) scheme. The challenge here is to power an array of numerous distributed actuators and sensors as well as wireless data transmission modules without recurring to heavy and costly wiring. Based on microgenerators which directly convert ambient mechanical energy into electrical energy, using the synchronized switch harvesting (SSH) method, the proposed solution allows avoiding the periodic replacement or reloading of batteries. This addresses environmental and economic issues at the same time, knowing that such elements are heavy, polluting and might be installed in rather inaccessible locations. Indeed, especially in airborne structures saving weight and maintenance cost is of priority importance.Previous work showed that such microgenerators provide a stand-alone power source, whose performances meet the requirements of autonomous wireless transmitters (AWTs) that comprise an acoustic Lamb wave's actuator and a radio frequency (RF) emitter (D. Guyomar, Y. Jayet, L. Petit, E. Lefeuvre, T. Monnier, C. Richard, M. Lallart, Synchronized switch harvesting applied to self-powered smart systems: Piezoactive microgenerators for autonomous wireless transmitters, Sens Actuators A: Phys. 138 (1) (2007) 151–160, doi:10.1016/j.sna.2007.04.009). Following this work, the present contribution presents a further step towards the integration of the SHM technique. It shows the ability of our microgenerators to provide enough energy to give logical autonomy to each self-powered sensing node, named autonomous wireless receiver (AWR), and thus to provide some local (decentralized) pre-processing ability to the SHM system.A preliminary design of the device using off-the-shelf electronics and surface mounted piezoelectric patches will be presented. Since the existence of a positive energy balance between the harvesting capabilities of the SSH technique and the energy requirements of the proposed device will be proved, the system formed by the combination of the AWR with the previously developed AWT, is a proof of concept of truly self-powered smart systems for damage detection in simple structures, setting apart application-specific optimization or miniaturization concerns that will be addressed in future works.
