Antioxidant activity of papaya seed extracts

The antioxidant activities of the ethanol, petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, n-butanol and water extract fractions from the seeds of papaya were evaluated in this study. The ethyl acetate fraction showed the strongest DPPH and hydroxyl free radical-scavenging activities, and its activities were stronger than those of ascorbic acid and sodium benzoate, respectively. The n-butanol fraction demonstrated the greatest ABTS? radicals scavenging activity. The ethyl acetate fraction and the n-butanol fraction not only showed higher antioxidant activities than the petroleum ether fraction, water fraction and ethanol fraction, but also showed higher superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide radicals scavenging activities than those of the other extract fractions. The high amount of total phenolics and total flavonoids in the ethyl acetate and n-butanol fractions contributed to their antioxidant activities. The ethyl acetate fraction was subjected to column chromatography, to yield two phenolic compounds, p-hydroxybenzoic acid and vanillic acid, which possessed significant antioxidant activities. Therefore, the seeds of papaya and these compounds might be used as natural antioxidants.     

多项式插值算法的舍入误差分析

本文定义了多项式插值算子的条件数和多项式插值算法的数值稳定性等概念.主要研究结果是:若n和Y_max不太大,当结点等距分布时,Lagrange插值和Newton插值算法都是数值稳定的.但是不论结点如何分布,上述两法的外推计算可能是数值不稳定的.文中数值例子验证了这些理论结果.     

基于LabVIEW的控制阀性能测试评估系统设计

控制阀在工业控制领域扮演十分重要的角色,但目前国内对控制阀性能测试评估系统的研究十分薄弱,常规的仪器仪表很难精确测试控制阀的性能。本文基于NI compactRIO硬件、各类传感器以及Labview软件开发设计了一套控制阀性能测试评估系统,该系统实现了控制阀的在线测试和功能评估,并且可将控制阀各项性能指标评估结果汇集于一张类似体检单的报表显示。采用该系统对某公司的直通气开式薄膜调节阀S9044进行了性能测试评估,实验结果表明,该系统能够精确地测试出调节阀的各项性能指标,且系统软件交互界面良好、扩展性强、精度高。     

Antioxidant phenolic compounds of cassava (Manihot esculenta) from Hainan

An activity-directed fractionation and purification process was used to isolate antioxidant components from cassava stems produced in Hainan. The ethyl acetate and n-butanol fractions showed greater DPPH˙and ABTS?+ scavenging activities than other fractions. The ethyl acetate fraction was subjected to column chromatography, to yield ten phenolic compounds: Coniferaldehyde (1), isovanillin (2), 6-deoxyjacareubin (3), scopoletin (4), syringaldehyde (5), pinoresinol (6), p-coumaric acid (7), ficusol (8), balanophonin (9) and ethamivan (10), which possess significant antioxidant activities. The relative order of DPPH? scavenging capacity for these compounds was ascorbic acid (reference) > 6 > 1 > 8 > 10 > 9 > 3 > 4 > 7 > 5 > 2, and that of ABTS?+ scavenging capacity was 5 > 7 > 1 > 10 > 4 > 6 > 8 > 2 > Trolox (reference compound) > 3 > 9. The results showed that these phenolic compounds contributed to the antioxidant activity of cassava.

一种新的计算复杂目标电磁散射的MoM-SBR/PO混合法

针对三维复杂电大尺寸金属目标,在传统MoM-PO混合法的基础上,引入基于射线密度归一化(RDN)概念的射线弹跳法(SBR),计算电大PO区域内部的多次反射影响,从而得到一种新的MoM-SBR/PO混合方法,该方法区别于大部分改进的MoM-PO混合法对PO区域内多次反射贡献的处理,避免了迭代物理光学法涉及的多次矩阵相乘问题.与其它几种方法进行比较,结果显示吻合较好.
