Effects of high hydrostatic pressure on secondary structure and emulsifying behavior of sweet potato protein

In this study, secondary structures of sweet potato protein (SPP) after high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) treatment (200–600?MPa) were evaluated and emulsifying properties of emulsions with HHP-treated SPP solutions in different pH values (3, 6, and 9) were investigated. Circular dichroism analysis confirmed the modification of the SPP secondary structure. Surface hydrophobicity increased at pH 3 and decreased at 6 and 9. Emulsifying activity index at pH 6 increased with an increase in pressure, whereas emulsifying stability index increased at pH 6 and 9. Oil droplet sizes decreased, while volume frequency distribution of the smaller droplets increased at pH 3 and 6 with the HHP treatment. Emulsion viscosity increased at pH 6 and 9 and pseudo-plastic flow behaviors were not altered for all emulsions produced with HHP-treated SPP. These results suggested that HHP could modify the SPP structure for better emulsifying properties, which could increase the use of SPP emulsion in the food industry.     

改进蚁群PID-神经元解耦的CFB锅炉燃烧系统控制

床温和主汽压都是循环流化床锅炉生产运行中的重要参数,会直接影响机组的安全性和经济性。但由于这两者对象存在非线性、大时延、强耦合等特点,其现场控制效果一直不太理想。本文首先采用自适应神经元将床温和主汽压解耦,再利用具有分工特征的蚁群算法优化参数的PID控制器对两者进行独立控制。采用该算法优化常规PID控制参数,能够实现控制参数的快速寻优。该方案应用于循环流化床锅炉燃烧系统仿真,结果表明能有效实现系统解耦,且具有响应快、超调量小等优点,有效地提高了控制品质。     

Role of nickel and manganese in recovery of resistivity in iron-based alloys after low-temperature proton irradiation

This study investigates the recovery of electric resistivity in pure iron, Fe–0.6Ni and Fe–1.5Mn as related to isochronal annealing following 1 MeV proton irradiation at lower temperature than 70 K, focusing on the relationship between solute atoms and irradiation defects. Both nickel and manganese prevent stage I_D recovery, which corresponds to correlated recombination. Stage II recovery is also changed by the addition of a solute, which corresponds to the migration of small interstitial clusters. In both pure iron and Fe–0.6Ni, no evident difference was observed in the stage III region, which corresponds to the migration of vacancies. In contrast, two substages appeared in the Fe–1.5Mn at a higher temperature than stage III_B appeared in pure iron. These substages are considered to represent the release of irradiation-induced defects, which was trapped by manganese.     

Origin of pressure-induced insulator-to-metal transition in the van der Waals compound FePS3 from first-principles calculations

Pressure-induced insulator-to-metal transition (IMT) has been studied in the van der Waals compound iron thiophosphate (FePS₃) using first-principles calculations within the periodic linear combination of atomic orbitals method with hybrid Hartree–Fock-DFT B3LYP functional. Our calculations reproduce correctly the IMT at ∼15 GPa, which is accompanied by a reduction of the unit cell volume and of the vdW gap. We found from the detailed analysis of the projected density of states that the 3p states of phosphorus atoms contribute significantly at the bottom of the conduction band. As a result, the collapse of the band gap occurs due to changes in the electronic structure of FePS₃ induced by relative displacements of phosphorus or sulfur atoms along the c-axis direction under pressure.     

Isobaric thermal expansivities of polyethylenes with various crystallinities over the pressure range from 0.1 to 300 MPa and over the temperature range from 303 to 393 K

A pressure-controlled scanning calorimeter (PCSC) has been applied for measuring the isobaric volume thermal expansivities (α_p) of crystalline polymers as a function of pressure up to 300 MPa at various temperatures. The measurements have been performed for several well-defined polyethylenes with various degrees of crystallinity at 302.6, 333.0, 362.6, and 393.0 K. The results are reported as values of coefficients in a correlation equation, which facilitates the use of reported data over large ranges of temperature and pressure. The general pressure-temperature behavior of α_p for all polyethylenes under study is such that α_p increases with temperature and decreases with pressure. The increase with temperature is smaller at high pressures and the isotherms of α_p have a tendency to converge at high pressures; α_p decreases linearly with the crystallinity of the polyethylene over the whole range of pressure and temperature under investigation. From the linear approximation of experimental data for polyethylenes with various crystallinities the estimated α_p for both crystal and amorphous phases of polyethylenes have been determined as a function of pressure up to 300 MPa at 302.6, 333.0, and 362.5 K. The obtained results have been compared with available literature crystallographic data and with the values derived from the Pastine theoretical equation of state for both crystalline and amorphous phases. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
