To develop a highly stable microchannel heat sink for boiling heat transfer, three types of diverging microchannels (Type 1, Type 2 and Type 3) were designed to experimentally investigate the effect of different distributions of artificial nucleation sites (ANS) on the enhancement of flow boiling heat transfer, in 10 parallel diverging microchannels with a mean hydraulic diameter of 120 μm. Water was used as the working fluid with mass flux, based on the mean cross section area, ranging from 99 to 297 kg/m2 s. The Type-1 system did not contain any ANS; the Type-2 system contained ANS distributed uniformly along the downstream half of the channel; and the Type-3 system contained ANS distributed uniformly along the entire channel. The ANS are laser-etched pits on the bottom wall of the channel and have a mouth diameter of approximately 20-22 μm, as indicted by the heterogeneous nucleation theory. The results of the present study reveal that the presence of ANS for flow boiling in parallel diverging microchannels significantly reduces the wall superheat and enhances the boiling heat transfer performance. The Type-3 system shows the best boiling heat transfer performance. 相似文献
We obtain appropriate sharp bounds on Triebel-Lizorkin spaces for rough oscillatory integrals with polynomial phase. By using
these bounds and using an extrapolation argument we obtain some new and previously known results for oscillatory integrals
under very weak size conditions on the kernel functions. 相似文献
In this paper, we discuss anti-periodic solution for delayed cellular neural networks with impulsive effects. By means of contraction mapping principle and Krasnoselski’s fixed point theorem, we obtain the existence of anti-periodic solution for neural networks. By establishing a new impulsive differential inequality, using Lyapunov functions and inequality techniques, some new results for exponential stability of anti-periodic solution are obtained. Meanwhile, an example and numerical simulations are given to show that impulses may change the exponentially stable behavior of anti-periodic solution. 相似文献
Step‐stress accelerated degradation testing (SSADT) has become a common approach to predicting lifetime for highly reliable products that are unlikely to fail in a reasonable time under use conditions or even elevated stress conditions. In literature, the planning of SSADT has been widely investigated for stochastic degradation processes, such as Wiener processes and gamma processes. In this paper, we model the optimal SSADT planning problem from a Bayesian perspective and optimize test plans by determining both stress levels and the allocation of inspections. Large‐sample approximation is used to derive the asymptotic Bayesian utility functions under 3 planning criteria. A revisited LED lamp example is presented to illustrate our method. The comparison with optimal plans from previous studies demonstrates the necessity of considering the stress levels and inspection allocations simultaneously. 相似文献
We investigate the nature of the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and corporate financial performance (CFP) by examining how it changes across a third dimension that accounts for firm-specific factors. We propose a semi-latent specification of an endogenous control variable, which can, for the first time, explicitly identify, for each individual firm, the threshold level where the marginal impact of CSR on CFP turns positive. We provide empirical evidence that this threshold depends on the additional dimension and consequently, the previously reported U-shape seems to be an aggregation of relationships of differential magnitude and direction. This disaggregation fits the data better and therefore, we maintain that the addition of a higher dimension, along with the identification of the threshold level, can explain the conflicting results in the literature.

A phytochemical investigation of the leaves of the medicinal plant Isodon rubescens led to the isolation of the two new degraded abietane lactone diterpenoids rubesanolides F (1) and G (2). Their structures were elucidated based on the analyses of the HRESIMS and 1D/2D NMR spectral data, and their absolute configurations were determined by ECD spectrum calculations and X-ray single crystal diffraction methods. Compounds 1 and 2, with a unique γ-lactone subgroup between C-8 and C-20, were found to form a carbonyl carbon at C-13 by removal of the isopropyl group in an abietane diterpene skeleton. Rubesanolide G (2) is a rare case of abietane that possesses a cis-fused configuration between rings B and C. The two isolates were evaluated for their biological activities against two cancer cell lines (A549 and HL60), three fungal strains (Candida alba, Aspergillus niger and Rhizopus nigricans) and three bacterial strains (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis). 相似文献
Timosaponin BII is one of the most abundant Anemarrhena saponins and is in a phase II clinical trial for the treatment of dementia. However, the pharmacological activity of timosaponin BII does not match its low bioavailability. In this study, we aimed to determine the effects of gut microbiota on timosaponin BII metabolism. We found that intestinal flora had a strong metabolic effect on timosaponin BII by HPLC-MS/MS. At the same time, seven potential metabolites (M1–M7) produced by rat intestinal flora were identified using HPLC/MS-Q-TOF. Among them, three structures identified are reported in gut microbiota for the first time. A comparison of rat liver homogenate and a rat liver microsome incubation system revealed that the metabolic behavior of timosaponin BII was unique to the gut microbiota system. Finally, a quantitative method for the three representative metabolites was established by HPLC-MS/MS, and the temporal relationship among the metabolites was initially clarified. In summary, it is suggested that the metabolic characteristics of gut microbiota may be an important indicator of the pharmacological activity of timosaponin BII, which can be applied to guide its application and clinical use in the future. 相似文献
