Box 211, Amsterdam, 1000 AE, NetherlandsAbstract:ZnS ceramics were successfully synthesized by the solid-state reaction method under different conditions. The structural transformation of ZnS ceramics from zinc-blende to hexagonal wurtzite was observed with the help of X-ray diffraction (XRD). The hexagonal wurtzite ZnS ceramics with much better quality were obtained at a sintering temperature of 1100 &deg;C and for 100 min sintering time, meanwhile the relative density reaches 94%. Room temperature photoluminescence measurements with 325 nm excitation showed four emission bands, that is, the near band edge (NBE) emission band at &sim;342 nm, the emission band of &sim;407 nm from the sulfur vacancies, the emission peak at 488 nm which was explained as the radioactive transition from the conduction band to the energy level of zinc vacancies, and the green emission band at 525 nm which was attributed to the recombination of electrons from the energy level of sulfur vacancies with the holes from the line or surface defects. The observed green PL emission of the wurtzite-type ZnS ceramics could provide an interesting application in the development of novel luminescent devices. &copy; 2012 Elsevier B.V.

In this paper, rough approximations are introduced into quantales, a kind of partially ordered algebraic structure with an associative binary multiplication. The notions of (upper, lower) rough (prime, semi-prime, primary) ideals of quantales are proposed and verified to be the extended notions of usual (prime, semi-prime, primary) ideals of quantales respectively. Global order properties of all lower (upper) rough ideals of a quantale are also investigated. The rough radical of an upper rough ideal in a quantale is defined and the prime radical theorem of rings is generalized to upper rough ideals of quantales. Some results about homomorphic images of rough ideals and rough prime ideals of semigroups and rings are also generalized and improved in the field of quantales. &copy; 2012 Elsevier Inc.

In order to explore functional bioactivities of enzymatic hydrolysates of lysozyme, the protein was subjected to a simulated gastrointestinal digestion and the resulting hydrolysate (LPH2) showed a strong competitive angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity (IC<inf>50</inf> = 12.6 &mu;g/ml) and a remarkable antioxidant activity. The LPH2 was fractionated using a 3 kDa cut-off membrane and the obtained permeate LPH2-3 kDa was analysed by MALDI-TOF-TOF MS.

In this experiment, synthetic 2,4-DB antibodies were immobilized on the electrode by the crosslinking of l-Cysteine/glutaraldehyde, and 2,4-DB were measured by the increase of electron-transfer resistance when the immune reaction occurred, with Fe(CN) <inf>6</inf>^3-/Fe(CN)<inf>6</inf>^4- as the probe.

It is found that the contact stress on the elastic contact surface can be smoothed and reduced effectively by both changing the contact surface shape and changing the shape of non-contact surface. To avoid mesh distortion that results in undesirable shape, a move stratrgy for nodal movement has been used in the finite element model.

Understanding this process is important and provides insight into the relationship between arsenic and its related diseases. We used the rapid equilibrium kinetic model to study the reaction sequence of arsenite methylation. The results suggest that the mechanism for arsenite methylation is a completely ordered mechanism that is also of general interest in reaction systems with different reductants, such as tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine, cysteine, and glutathione. In the reaction, cysteine residues of recombinant human arsenic (+3 oxidation state) methyltransferase (hAS3MT) coordinate with arsenicals and involve the methyl transfer step. S-Adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet) is the first-order reactant, which modulates the conformation of hAS3MT to a best matched state by hydrophobic interaction. As the second-order reactant, reductant reduces the disulfide bond, most likely between Cys-250 and another cysteine residue of hAS3MT, and exposes the active site cysteine residues for binding trivalent inorganic arsenic (iAs³⁺) to give monomethylarsonic dicysteine (MADC³⁺). In addition, the reaction can be extended to further methylate MADC³⁺ to dimethylarsinic cysteine (DAMC³⁺). In the methylation reaction, the &beta;-pleated sheet content of hAS3MT is increased, and the hydrophobicity of the microenvironment around the active sites is decreased. Similarly, we confirm that both the high &beta;-pleated sheet content of hAS3MT and the high dissociation ability of the enzyme-AdoMet-reductant improve the yield of dimethylated arsenicals. &copy; 2012 by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.Number of references:42Main heading:Amino acidsControlled terms:Alkylation - Arsenic - Covalent bonds - Hydrophobicity - Methylation - Phosphorus compoundsUncontrolled terms:Active site - Cysteine residues - Disulfide bonds - First-order - Glutathiones - Human bodies - Hydrophobic interactions - Inorganic arsenic - Kinetic analysis - Kinetic models -

interacting components, with a rigorous low-level mathematical model in terms of a stochastic process. These have proved to be valuable modelling formalisms, particularly in the areas of performance modelling and systems biology. However, they do suffer from the problem of state space explosion. Currently, the underlying stochastic process is generally derived via the small step operational semantics of the process algebra and relies on a syntactical representation of the states of the process. In this paper, we propose a numerical representation schema based on a counting abstraction. This automatically detects symmetries within the state space based on replicated components, and produces a compact state space. Moreover, as we demonstrate, it is amenable to other interpretations and thus other forms of computational analysis, enriching the set of qualitative and quantitative measures that can be derived from a model. &copy; 2012 The Author.

By using the invariance principle of delay difference systems, a new unified framework is established to deal with the consensus for the discrete-time delayed multi-agent system. It is shown that the addressed discrete-time network with arbitrary distributed time delays reaches consensus provided that it is strongly connected.

Publisher:Springer Verlag, Tiergartenstrasse 17, Heidelberg, D-69121, GermanyAbstract:The lipase-catalyzed citronellol synthesis of citronellyl acetate via transesterification was investigated in a solvent-free system. After screening several lipases, the lipase from Pseudomonas fluorescens was identified as the optimal enzyme for the system. The optimal reaction temperature was 40 &deg;C. The external diffusion limitation could be greatly reduced by increasing the agitation speed to 200 rpm. A linear relationship between the initial reaction rate and an enzyme load of up to 6 mg mL^-1 demonstrated that the internal diffusion limitations could be minimized. Substrate inhibition was absent when the substrate concentration was below 500 mmol L^-1, but the experimental results indicated that the product inhibition effect should be considered. The results from the reaction kinetics analysis showed that the reaction obeys the ping-pong bi-bi mechanism that is inhibited by citronellyl acetate.

Protein removal caused significant reduction in the P and S contents of starches. Starch granules had a smoother surface and low protein content (&lt;6 g/kg) compared with the flours. Both flours and starches had a typical A-type X-ray diffraction pattern, with a crystallinity range of 29.8-32.2% and 27.7-30.6%, respectively. Flours had higher swelling power and solubility, and lower light transmittance than starches. The gelatinization enthalpy and onset temperature of starches were higher compared with those of their counterpart flours. The retrogradation of flours was significantly greater compared with that of starches. Protein removal increased the peak viscosity, trough viscosity, final viscosity, and breakdown, whereas it decreased the setback and pasting temperature. Genotypic differences in those maize were related to the physicochemical characteristics of the flours and starches. Copyright &copy; 2012 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH &amp; Co.

Box 211, Amsterdam, 1000 AE, NetherlandsAbstract:The effects of the magnitude of the uniaxial anisotropy of a ferromagnet and the cooling field on the noncollinearity between uniaxial anisotropy and induced unidirectional anisotropy in a ferromagnet/antiferromagnet bilayer system are investigated. A diagram of noncollinear anisotropies and relative negative (positive) exchange bias field dependence upon cooling field and uniaxial anisotropy of the ferromagnet is obtained. The numerical result shows that the emergence of noncollinear anisotropies originates from the action of the cooling field and uniaxial anisotropy of the ferromagnet. The noncollinearity strongly depends on the magnitude of cooling field and uniaxial anisotropy of the ferromagnet. Moreover, the effect of noncollinear anisotropies and applied field on asymmetric magnetization reversal is also investigated. Amazingly, when the magnetic field is applied collinearly with unidirectional anisotropy, the hysteresis loop of ferromagnet/antiferromagnet bilayers is always symmetric even if there are noncollinear anisotropies. Our results indicate that the asymmetry of the hysteresis loop only originates from the noncollinearity between the induced unidirectional anisotropy and the applied field, rather than from the noncollinearity between the uniaxial and unidirectional anisotropies. &copy; 2012 Elsevier B.V.Number of references:28Main heading:AnisotropyControlled terms:Band structure - Ferromagnetic materials - Ferromagnetism - Hysteresis loops - Magnetization reversal - Magnets - Superconducting materialsUncontrolled terms:Applied field - Bi-layer - Bilayer systems - Cooling fields - Exchange-bias fields - Ferromagnets - If there are - Non-collinearity - Noncollinear - Numerical results - Uniaxial anisotropy - Unidirectional anisotropyClassification code:708.3 Superconducting Materials - 708.4 Magnetic Materials - 921 Mathematics - 931.2 Physical Properties of Gases, Liquids and Solids - 933 Solid State Physics - 933.1 Crystalline SolidsDOI:10.1016/j.jmmm.2012.06.017Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, GermanyAbstract:Two different types, one is the OSB panel perpendicular to the cold-formed thin steel and another the OSB panel parallel to the cold-formed thin steel, of self-tapping screw joints of cold-formed steel frame shear walls are tested under the monotonic loading. The load-displacement curves of the test specimens are obtained and the ultimate loads F<inf>u</inf> and the corresponding displacements &delta;<inf>u</inf> of two different types are analyzed. Fianlly, the conclusion that the influence from the direction between OSB and cold-formed thin steel to the performance of tapping screw joints is not significant is pointed up. Tapping screws are used to fasten panels (plywood or OSB) to the steel frame to form steel frame shear wall (call SFSW for short) in low-storied houses which are constructed by using cold-formed thin steel. The panels can carry lateral force and then transfer to the steel frame through tapping screws. The shear stiffness of the screw fastening and the space between these screws affect the shear strength of the wall. The fastening performance of tapping screw joints can directly decide the lateral-load bearing capacity of the SFSW ^[1-4]. This paper conducts test research on the fastening performance of tapping screws of the OSB panels and cold-formed thin steels. The average load-displacement curve of the tapping screw joints is obtained after the experience. The test provides data on the fastening performance of tapping screws which fasten panels and cold-formed thin steel, and make the analysis on SFSW by finite element software more convenient. &copy; (2012) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.Number of references:6Main heading:ScrewsControlled terms:Civil engineering - Finite element method - Loading - Loads (forces) - Research - Shear walls - Software testing - Steel construction - Structural frames - Studs (structural members) - TestingUncontrolled terms:Cold-formed - Cold-formed steel frames - Finite element software - Lateral force - Load-displacement curve - Monotonic loading - OSB panels - Screw joints - Self-tapping screws - Shear stiffness - Space between - Steel frame - Test research - Test specimens - Ultimate loadsClassification code:901.3 Engineering Research - 723.5 Computer Applications - 672 Naval Vessels - 605 Small Tools and Hardware - 545.3 Steel - 921.6 Numerical Methods - 423.2 Non Mechanical Properties of Building Materials: Test Methods - 409 Civil Engineering, General - 408.2 Structural Members and Shapes - 408 Structural Design - 402 Buildings and Towers - 421 Strength of Building Materials; Mechanical PropertiesDOI:10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMM.193-194.1465Database:Compendex

Box 3337, Columbus, OH 43210-3337, United StatesAbstract:Electrochemical oxidation of pyrogallol in a pH 5.0 phosphate buffer was carried out on a reduced graphene oxide/glassy carbon (RGO/GC) electrode. Reduced graphene oxide plays an important role in catalyzing the electrochemical oxidation of pyrogallol. A deep yellow film deposited on the electrode exhibits electroactivity in a wide pH range. On the basis of the experimental results from measurements of ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and IR spectra, there are hydroxyl, carbonyl, and aldehyde groups in the product. No visible absorption peak occurs in the UV-vis spectrum of the product, and its molecular weight is lower than that of the dipolymer but higher than that of the monomer. Therefore, the film is neither a polymer nor a dipolymer and is only a product of pyrogallol oxidation with oxygen radicals. No tendency toward the decay of the ESR signal intensity of the electrogenerated film deposited on the RGO/graphite electrode was observed after 210 days. Electrogenerated film was used as a radical source to test the radical scavenging abilities of ascorbic acid, catechin, and catechol in aqueous solutions based on the ESR signal intensity. The result indicates that ascorbic acid and catechin can scavenge the free radicals, but catechol can hardly scavenge the free radicals. &copy; 2012 American Chemical Society.Number of references:35Main heading:Free radicalsControlled terms:Absorption spectroscopy - Aldehydes - Deposits - Electrochemical oxidation -

Acid modification is very helpful for application of high-amylose starch in food and non-food industries. In this study, the ordered structure of acid-modified high-amylose rice starch was investigated by GPC, HPAEC, ¹³C CP/MAS NMR and XRD. Acid preferentially degraded the amylose, then A chain and short B chain of amylopectin. Relative double helix content and crystallinity both initially increased sharply and then progressively with acid hydrolysis. The relative crystallinity of

starches obtained from ¹³C CP/MAS NMR was higher than that from XRD. The onset gelatinisation temperature decreased, while the peak and conclusion temperatures increased with increasing hydrolysis time. The endothermic value initially increased and then decreased with acid hydrolysis. The swelling power decreased while solubility increased after acid hydrolysis. These results add to our understanding of the effect of acid hydrolysis on the high-amylose rice starch. &copy; 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

This way not only leads to easy aggregation of nanoparticles but also readily brings about opaqueness for nanocomposites based on functionally transparent polymers. In this letter, transparent ZnO/epoxy nanocomposites with high-UV shielding efficiency were prepared

via two simple steps: first, in situ preparation of zinc hydroxide (Zn(OH) <inf>2</inf>)/epoxy from the reaction of aqueous zinc acetate (Zn(Ac) <inf>2</inf>&middot;2H<inf>2</inf>O) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) at 30&deg;C in the presence of high-viscosity epoxy resin; second, thermal treatment of the as-prepared Zn(OH)<inf>2</inf>/epoxy hybrid into ZnO/epoxy composites. Optical properties of the resultant ZnO/epoxy nanocomposites were studied using an ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectrophotometer.

Box 3337, Columbus, OH 43210-3337, United StatesAbstract:A combination of graphene with metal particles is particularly attractive due to the enhanced performance of the hybrid materials. However, direct loading of uniform metal nanoparticles such as Pt on graphene remains a challenge due to the hydrophobic nature of graphene. We herein demonstrate that Pt nanoparticles with uniform size and high dispersion were deposited on graphene surfaces via a facile and efficient supercritical fluid method. The graphene sheets used in this work were produced by rapid thermal expansion of graphite oxide. With the help of supercritical carbon dioxide (SC CO<inf>2</inf>), Pt nanoparticles with a mean size of 3.28 nm are evenly distributed on graphene upon the reduction of an organic platinum precursor. The electrocatalytic investigations reveal that the current density of methanol electrooxidation with the resultant Pt/graphene catalyst was &sim;3.5 times as large as that observed with conventional Pt/carbon black (Vulcan XC-72) catalyst. The results demonstrate that graphene serves as an excellent electrocatalytic carrier, and the supercritical fluid strategy is powerful and promising for the synthesis of highly active electrocatalysts for direct methanol fuel cells. &copy; 2012 American Chemical Society.Number of references:47Main heading:GrapheneControlled terms:Carbon dioxide - Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC) - Effluent treatment - Electrocatalysts - Electrooxidation - Hybrid materials - Methanol - Nanoparticles - Platinum - Supercritical fluid extraction - Supercritical fluidsUncontrolled terms:Direct loading - Electrocatalytic - Graphene sheets - Graphite oxide - High dispersion - Hydrophobic nature - Mean size - Metal particle - Methanol electrooxidation - Pt nanoparticles - Supercritical - Supercritical carbon dioxides - Uniform size - Vulcan XC72Classification code:933 Solid State Physics - 931.2 Physical Properties of Gases, Liquids and Solids - 804 Chemical Products Generally - 803 Chemical Agents and Basic Industrial Chemicals - 802.3 Chemical Operations - 802.2 Chemical Reactions - 761 Nanotechnology - 712 Electronic and Thermionic Materials - 708 Electric and Magnetic Materials - 702.2 Fuel Cells - 547.1 Precious Metals - 452.4 Industrial Wastes Treatment and Disposal - 415 Metals, Plastics, Wood and Other Structural Materials

This paper first presents a constructive heuristic, namely improved standard deviation heuristic (ISDH), by combining the standard deviation heuristic (SDH) with the procedure of effective double-job-insert- operator. Then, a composite heuristic, improved standard deviation heuristic with iteration (ISDHI), is proposed using the iteration operator to improve the solutions of the ISDH. Extensive computational experiments are carried out based on a set of well-known flow shop benchmark instances that are considered as no-wait flow shop scheduling instances. Computational results and comparisons show that the ISDHI performs significantly better than the existing ones, and the ISDHI heuristic further improves the proposed constructive heuristics for no-wait flow shop scheduling problem with total flow time criterion. &copy; 2012 IEEE.Number of references:26Main heading:SchedulingControlled terms:Machine shop practice - StatisticsUncontrolled terms:Computational experiment - Computational results - Computational time - Constructive heuristic - Flow-shops - No-wait - No-wait flow shop - Practical systems - Standard deviation - Total flowtimeClassification code:604.2 Machining Operations - 912.2 Management - 922.2 Mathematical StatisticsDOI:10.1109/CEC.2012.6252932Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

A scheme which combines vision learning and interaction is proposed. The vision learning module employs an online boosting learning algorithm to constantly receive and learn the terrain samples each of which comprise the visual features extracted from the sub terrain region image and the traversability measured by the onboard Inertia Measurement Unit (IMU). Using this knowledge, the robot could estimate the new terrains and search for the optimal path to travel using the particle swarm optimization method. To overcome the shortcoming that the robot could not understand the intricate environment exactly, the vision interaction method, which complements the robot's capacity of terrain estimation with the human reasoning ability of path correction, is further applied. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method. &copy; 2012 Bao et al.Number of references:11Main heading:Human robot interactionControlled terms:Estimation - Landforms - Learning algorithms - Mobile robots - Motion planning - Optimization - Robot programming - Units of measurementUncontrolled terms:Autonomous navigation - Human reasoning - Inertia measurements - Interaction methods - Learning modules - On-line boosting - Optimal paths - Particle swarm optimization method - Robot path-planning - Traversability - Visual featureClassification code:481.1 Geology - 723 Computer Software, Data Handling and Applications - 731.5 Robotics - 902.2 Codes and Standards - 921 Mathematics - 921.5 Optimization TechniquesDOI:10.5772/50827Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

In this research, a new kind of calcium carbonate crystal with a novel self-organized spiky dumbbell-like superstructure was synthesized in the presence of one typical phosphoprotein-casein. A complex self-assembly process for the formation of the hierarchical superstructures in the presence of casein has been proposed. The effects of the concentration of calcium ion, the reaction time, and temperature are investigated. The results indicate that phosphate groups of casein play important roles in directing growth and self-assembly of hierarchical superstructures. Our studies may contribute to the understanding of the specific role of phosphoprotein in the biomineralization process.

Using mean value theorem and Young's inequality, only one learning parameter need to be tuned online in the whole controller design, and the computational burden is effectively alleviated.

The results showed that in space region, the frequencies of HTE (High Temperature Events)in summer decreased clearly in the lower and middle reaches of Yellow River in State I and that of LTE(Low Temperature Events) decreased in north in State II. At present state, the frequencies of HTE increased significantly in most areas over China except North East, while the frequencies of LTE decreased mainly in North China and the regions between Yangtze River and Yellow River. The distribution of frequencies and strength of extreme temperature events were agreed well in spatial. The analysis of time evolution of extreme events showed that the extreme of HTE was stronger with the states while that of LTE was lowing.

Moreover, we study the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model with the density-dependent diffusion. &copy; 2012 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.Number of references:35Main heading:Asymptotic analysisControlled terms:Boundary conditions - EcologyUncontrolled terms:Asymptotic behavior of solutions - Density-dependent - Dirichlet boundary condition - Elliptic operator - Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model - Monotone iterations - Positive solution - Predator-prey models - Quasi-solutions - Quasilinear parabolic system - Reaction functions - Upper and lower solutionsClassification code:454.3 Ecology and Ecosystems - 921 MathematicsDOI:10.1007/s10440-012-9701-7Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Under the stock market or network resource allocation circumstance, the quantity of allocation is a more important factor than other mentioned above so as to maximize the quantity of market or make use of the resource on network efficiently. So, this paper designs a new auction mechanism to maximize the quantity of allocation by a largest-matching algorithm. At first, we build a bipartite graph by converting buyer and seller to two nodes set respectively, and then drawing a line between potential dealers. Secondly, all the notes are labeled by a triples, start time, end time and offer. At last, an algorithm is proposed to generate the maximized quantity of allocation, and the largest amount of matching can be calculated automatically. An application example shows that the method suggested by this paper can effectively achieve the distribution of the maximum of allocation.Number of references:17Main heading:AlgorithmsControlled terms:Commerce - MechanismsUncontrolled terms:Allocation - Application examples - Auction - Auction mechanisms - Bipartite graphs - Largest-matching-algorithm - OR-networks - Social efficiency - Stock marketClassification code:601.3 Mechanisms - 723 Computer Software, Data Handling and Applications - 911.2 Industrial Economics - 921 MathematicsDOI:10.4156/ijact.vol4.issue 18.63Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Antioxidant effects of FSM in vitro were measured with 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) based assay and by determining the inhibitory effect on the formation for malonyldialdehyde (MDA), and on the ability to chelate ferrous ions; the respective average IC<inf>50</inf> values were 49.5, 24.2 and 8.7 mg/mL. Antioxidant enzymatic activities in liver of alcohol-fed mice, biochemical markers in serum and an index of lipid peroxidation were determined, and additionally the changes in hepatocytes of ICR mice were compared. The results showed that, compared with the control group, alanine transaminase (ALT) activity, aspartate transaminase (AST) activity and triglycerides (TG) of negative group increased (p &lt; 0.05). Moreover, the serum ALT and AST activities of FSM group was lower than negative group (p &lt; 0.05). However, there was no significant difference (p &gt; 0.05) in the albumin (ALB) and total protein (TP) values (in positive, negative, control, and FSM groups) in the serum. Compared with the negative group, alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities and glutathione (GSH) content increased in liver (p &lt; 0.05) in FSM group.

In this method, monolithic silica columns whose skeletons contained weakly connected porous silica microspheres were prepared first using the aging temperature and mass ratio of PEG to TMOS in the range of 25-30 &deg;C and 0.10-0.20, respectively, and mass ratio of TMOS to H<inf>2</inf>O less than 0.5. Then, dispersed porous silica spheres were obtained by gentle grinding of the monolithic column. After surface modification with C18, silica microspheres with an average diameter of 5.4 &mu;m were packed and used in HPLC for separation of neutral, acidic, and basic compounds. The retention behavior is similar to the column packed with commercially available 5 &mu;m C18 silica particles while column efficiency is only about a half of the latter.

The results show that in space the frequency of high temperature events in summer decreases clearly in the lower and middle reaches of the Yellow River in State I and that low temperature events decrease in northern China in State II. In the present state, the frequency of high temperature events increases significantly in most areas over China except the north east, while the frequency of low temperature events decreases mainly in north China and the regions between the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. The distributions of frequencies and strengths of extreme temperature events are consistent in space. The analysis of time evolution of extreme events shows that the occurrence of high temperature events become higher with the change in state, while that of low temperature events decreases. High temperature events are becoming stronger as well and deserve to be paid special attention. &copy; 2012 Chinese Physical Society and IOP Publishing Ltd.Number of references:20Main heading:ClimatologyControlled terms:Atmospheric temperature

Box 211, Amsterdam, 1000 AE, NetherlandsAbstract:In this paper, a facile electrochemical alloying-dealloying technique was performed in aqueous media to prepare a nanoporous platinum (Pt) electrode with high sensitivity for glucose sensing. A homogeneous Pt-Cu alloy was electrochemically deposited on a glassy carbon electrode at room temperature, and then Cu in the alloy was selectively dissolved by electrochemical method from the Pt-Cu alloy resulting in the nanoporous platinum film with a higher surface area. A roughness factor of the electrode was determined from the ratio of the true area to the geometric area, and it was up to 184. This nanoporous platinum exhibits high stability and remarkable catalytic activity for glucose oxidation in pH 7.0 PBS. It is also resistant toward poisoning by some common interfering species such as uric acid and p-acetamidophenol. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the nanoporous platinum film responded to glucose with a good linear dependence in the range from 1.00 &times; 10^-5 to 8.14 &times; 10^-3 M and the detection limit was 7.75 &times; 10 ^-6 M (S/N = 3). &copy; 2012 Elsevier B.V.Number of references:36Main heading:Platinum alloysControlled terms:Alloying - Automobile manufacture - Copper - Copper alloys - Error detection -

The microstructure, ferroelectric behaviours, magnetic properties and the magneto-dielectric effect were investigated systematically at room temperature (RT). A definite hysteresis loop of the BFTO film was obtained with the remanent polarization (2P<inf>r</inf>)&sim;43.3&mu;Ccm² under an electric field of 300kVcm^-1. To exclude the contribution of the leakage current to polarization, we studied the frequency dependence of hysteresis loops in the BFTO thin film and made positive-upnegative-down measurements. These results indicated the intrinsic ferroelectricity in the present BFTO film and it was supported by the &Epsilon;-V curve. Furthermore, a weak ferromagnetism with an in-plane saturated magnetization (M<inf>s</inf>) of &sim; 1.7emucm^-3 was also observed in the BFTO film, which may have originated from the Fe²⁺-O-Fe³⁺ nanocluster and the F-centre exchange (FCE) mechanism. Therefore, the ferromagnetism could be considered as in nanoregions. More importantly, the magneto-dielectric effect was found with a magneto-dielectric coefficient of &sim; - 2.8% at a frequency of 100kHz at RT. The probable origins of magnetic anisotropy and the magneto-dielectric effect were discussed.

The prediction of the numerical model can be turned into the estimation of the model error, through decomposition the error field by the empirical orthogonal function (EOF), compression the dimensions of the field and division the scaled quantity out of the field. The first three principal components were predicted based on the matched pre-factors. As for the small -scale components, the probability of the climate mean state was given.

So, considering the significance of automatic summary in Web information retrieval, an ontology-based method of webpage summarization is provided in this paper. Firstly, a HTML document is segmented into different subject blocks by comparing the semantic similarity between adjacent boundary nodes in DOM tree. Then the topic concepts instead of words are extracted by Word Net to construct the sentence vector space model. Owing to the concepts descripted by ontologies, such as Word Net, all Web pages can be tagged by ontology concepts so as to computing the similarity of boundary nodes. Finally, by measuring the sentence importance

combining the topic concepts and the webpage structure, several sentences are selected as abstract through adjusting their weight dynamically. Experimental results show that the proposed method can increase the summary coverage for original webpage and reduce the redundancy effectively.Number of references:19Main heading:WebsitesControlled terms:Abstracting - Information retrieval - Natural language processing systems - Semantic Web - SemanticsUncontrolled terms:Automatic summarization - Boundary nodes - DOM tree - HTML documents - Ontology concepts - Ontology-based - Semantic data - Semantic similarity - Sentence weight - Vector space models - Web document - Web information retrieval - Web-page - Word netClassification code:716 Telecommunication; Radar, Radio and Television - 717 Optical Communication - 718 Telephone Systems and Related Technologies; Line Communications - 723 Computer Software, Data Handling and Applications - 903 Information ScienceDOI:10.4156/ijact.vol4.issue 14.34Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Publisher:Chinese Society of Agricultural Engineering, Agricultural Exhibition Road South, Beijing, 100026, ChinaAbstract:According to the characteristics of urban flood protection and drainage pump stations, two sets of dividing tubular pumping systems with symmetric aerofoil blade were developed. The three-dimensional fluid flow inside a diving tubular pumping system on dual-directional operation was described using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technology. The effect of bulb section on the hydraulic performance of pumping system was analyzed, which included the hydraulic loss of bulb section, the internal flow of guide vane and the hydraulic performance of "S" shape impeller vane. Verification and analysis were done to the effectiveness of the numerical simulation results by model test. The results demonstrated that the internal flow pattern of guide vane was steady in the reverse operation conditions, while the flow pattern became turbulent, flow deviation and vortex were appeared in 4 and 5 m³/s of the main operation conditions. The hydraulic performance of pumping system in reverse operation conditions was better than that in main operation conditions, and axial force of impellers in which was smaller than that in reverse operation conditions. By comparing the comprehensive property index of two sets of pumping system, structure size of pumping system provided a reference for diving tubular pumping device. Diffusion angle of guide vane was 3&deg;, the length of bulb and pumping system was 2.43 and 13.45D, respectively, and the diameter of bulb was 0.46 D. Bulb has streamlined tail and five supporting parts.Number of references:21Main heading:Pumping plantsControlled terms:Computational fluid dynamics - Computer simulation - Flood control - Flow patterns - Hydraulic machinery - Hydraulic models - Impellers - Numerical analysis - PumpsUncontrolled terms:Aerofoil blades - Axial forces - Comprehensive properties - Drainage pumps - Guide vane - Hydraulic loss - Hydraulic performance - Internal flow patterns - Internal flows - Model tests - Operation conditions - Performance tests - Pumping systems - Structure sizes - Test - Urban floodsClassification code:921.6 Numerical Methods - 723.5 Computer Applications - 632.2 Hydraulic Equipment and Machinery - 632.1 Hydraulics - 631.1 Fluid Flow, General - 618.2 Pumps - 601.2 Machine Components - 454.1 Environmental Engineering, General - 446 WaterworksDOI:10.3969/j.issn.1002-6819.2012.16.010Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Box 3337, Columbus, OH 43210-3337, United StatesAbstract:High-amylose cereal starch has a great benefit on human health through its resistant starch content. In this paper, starches were isolated from mature grains of high-amylose transgenic rice line (TRS) and its wild-type rice cultivar Te-qing (TQ) and digested in vitro and in vivo. The structural changes of digestive starch residues were characterized using DSC, XRD, ¹³C CP/MAS NMR, and ATR-FTIR. TQ starch was very susceptible to digestion; its residues following in vitro and in vivo digestion showed similar structural characteristics with TQ control starch, which suggested that both amorphous and crystalline structures were simultaneously digested. Both amorphous and the long-range order structures were also simultaneously hydrolyzed in TRS starch, but the short-range order (double helix) structure in the external region of TRS starch granule increased with increasing digestion time. The A-type polymorph of TRS C-type starch was hydrolyzed more rapidly than the B-type polymorph. These results suggested that B-type crystallinity and short-range order structure in the external region of starch granule made TRS starch resistant to digestion. &copy; 2012 American Chemical Society.Number of references:40Main heading:StarchControlled terms:Granulation - Hydrolysis - Structural propertiesUncontrolled terms:ATR FTIR - C-type starch - Cereal starches - Crystalline structure -

This paper focused on the combination of Cognitive Radio (CR) wireless network and OFDM subcarrier to divide spectrum resource allocation algorithm into two steps. The first step is according to relative gain factor to distribute subcarriers for each cognitive user on the premise of taking account of proportion fair principle. The second step is filling power and carrying on self-adaption for distributed subcarriers under constraint conditions. The simulation results show that taking account of proportion fair principle can enhance more system performance than only considering maximum throughput. The throughput sustains growth by self-adaption under maximum transmit power constraint. In addition, when the SNR is high or the maximum transmit power is small, linear water-filling power allocation can be used to reduce computational complexity.Number of references:14

level of the Yangtze River is 2.19 m, water level of the Hongze Lake is 13.5 m, and inlet discharge of Hongze Lake is 450 m³/s, optimum operation schemes were obtained including head distribution among steps, discharge distribution among parallel water lines, pumping discharge of each pumping station, the number of running unit and operation duties by four layer decomposition-discretization, and optimal schemes of the stations by simulated annealing particle swarm optimization. The results indicate that because of being limited by the highest navigable water level 8.5 m of Jiangdu pumping station upstream, system operation scheme is the optimum when the water level of Dashanzi is 7.7 m in the interchange of east and west branch line of the first step near west gate of south canal, the discharge ratio is 0.13:0.87 of east and west branch line of the first step, and inflow discharge ratio is 200:250 of south and north branch line of the third steps. The operating power in the optimum scheme is saved 6.83% less than that in the original design scheme.Number of references:10Main heading:LakesControlled terms:Auxiliary equipment - Energy utilization - Multilayers - Particle swarm optimization (PSO) - Pumping plants - Simulated annealing - Water distribution systems - Water levels - Water piping systems - Water supplyUncontrolled terms:Branch-line - Discharge ratio - Evaporation loss - Hydraulic loss - Inflow discharge - Input power - Leakage loss - Navigable waters - Operating power - Operating units - Optimal model - Optimal operation - Optimal scheme - Optimum operations - Original design - Pumping discharge - Pumping stations - South-to-North Water Transfer - System operation - Transmission and transformation engineering - Water transferring - Yangtze RiverClassification code:933.1 Crystalline Solids - 921 Mathematics - 901 Engineering Profession - 723 Computer Software, Data Handling and Applications - 525.3 Energy Utilization - 446.1 Water Supply Systems - 446 Waterworks - 407.2 Waterways - 407 Maritime and Port Structures; Rivers and Other WaterwaysDatabase:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Without consideration of time delays during the communications of robots, based on the method of local weighted kNN-TD state selection by using environment sense information and task destination information, the optimal iteration of Q value table of a robot is updated by the employment of comparison and analysis of Q value tables of itself and other communicating robots. After that, asynchronous interaction reinforcement learning schemes are presented in the case of global communication and local communication in the working environment, respectively. Finally, the simulations verify the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed strategy.Number of references:14Main heading:Robot learningControlled terms:Communication - Iterative methods - Motion control - Multipurpose robots - Reinforcement learningUncontrolled terms:Asynchronous interaction - Communication domain - Global communication - K-nearest neighbors - KNN - Learning speed - Local communications - Multi-robot learning - Multi-robot systems - Q-values - State selection - Temporal differences - Working environmentClassification code:716 Telecommunication; Radar, Radio and Television - 723.4 Artificial Intelligence - 731.3 Specific Variables Control - 731.5 Robotics - 921.6 Numerical MethodsDOI:10.3969/j.issn.1001-0505.2012.S1.042Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

The samples on the stack of carbon are determined to be pure 3C-SiC. 3C-SiC NWs synthesised at 1250 and 1300&deg;C have a length of tens to hundreds of micrometres and a diameter of 40-80nm. A higher synthesising temperature of 1350&deg;C results in NWs together with nanoparticles. The nucleation of 3C-SiC NWs relates to vapour-solid reaction between SiO vapour and activated carbon. The residual oxygen in the chamber leads to the generation of CO gas, whose reaction with SiO vapour relates to the growth of the nanowires. There are two peaks at 416 and 439nm in the photoluminescence line of the nanowires, which are ascribed to size confinement effect, defects and the oxygen vacancy in the amorphous SiO<inf>2</inf> layer. &copy; 2012 The Institution of Engineering and Technology.Number of references:21Main heading:Silicon carbideControlled terms:Activated carbon - Atmospheric pressure - Nanowires - Photoluminescence - Synthesis (chemical) - VaporsUncontrolled terms:Ball-milled - Cubic silicon carbide - Photoluminescence lines - Residual oxygen - SiC nanowire - Size confinement effectsClassification code:933 Solid State Physics - 804.2 Inorganic Compounds - 804 Chemical Products Generally - 802.2 Chemical Reactions - 761 Nanotechnology - 741.1 Light/Optics - 443.1 Atmospheric PropertiesDOI:10.1049/mnl.2012.0506Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Alligator weed (Alternanthera philoxeroides Griseb.), a perennial herb native to the South America, has established itself on almost all the surface of the earth except Africa. In China, alligator weed has invaded most temperate regions where the environmental conditions, particularly temperature, are obviously different from its origin. How can alligator weed survive through cold winters is a critical issue for its establishment in these areas. In this research, we investigated the seasonal change of soluble sugars content (SSC), which presented important physiological reaction to cold acclimation, in different parts including buds, nodes, and internodes of alligator weed from aquatic and terrestrial habitats. Results showed that accumulation of soluble sugars was regularly correlated to temperature change in environment, i.e., the highest SSC in the coldest season, and the lowest in summer. Among different parts such as nodes, buds and internodes in individuals from terrestrial and aquatic habitats, accumulation of SSC presented similar results. The accumulation of SSC and its seasonal dynamics may be a physiological acclimation to low temperature so that alligator weed could establish in these regions and survive through cold winters ecologically.Number of references:39Main heading:Plants (botany)Controlled terms:Biodiversity - Ecosystems - Physiology - SugarsUncontrolled terms:Alligator weed - Alternanthera philoxeroides - Cold acclimations - Invasive plants - Soluble sugarsClassification code:454 Environmental Engineering - 454.3 Ecology and Ecosystems - 461 Bioengineering and Biology - 461.9 Biology - 804.1 Organic CompoundsDatabase:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

The method embeds the watermark information by modulating a feature signal generated from the host signal. The feature signal is suggested to choose the normalized correlation between the host signal and a random signal. Information modulation is carried out on the generated feature signal by selecting a code word from the codebook associated with the embedded information. The structured codebooks are designed using uniform quantizers for M-ary modulation. The watermarked signal is produced to provide the modulated feature in the sense of minimizing the embedding distortion. Meanwhile, we derive the expressions of the embedding distortion and the minimal channel distortion to remove the hidden message. According to them, the optimal code word can be found in the codebook for the watermarking performance improvement. The proposed scheme is theoretically invariant to valumetric scaling and can resist stronger noise than the well-known spread transform dither modulation. Numerical simulations on real images show that it achieves the good imperceptibility and strong robustness against a wide range of attacks and significantly outperforms other state-of-the-art watermarking methods.Number of references:18Main heading:Image watermarkingControlled terms:Digital watermarking - Modulation - Optimal systems - Robustness (control systems) - WatermarkingUncontrolled terms:Channel distortions - Code-words - Codebooks - Embedded information - Embedding distortion - Hidden messages - Host signals - M-ary modulation - Normalized correlation - Optimal codes - Performance improvements - Quantization watermarking - Quantization-based watermarking - Quantizers - Random signal - Real images - Spread-transform dither modulations - Structured codebooks - Valumetric scaling - Watermark informationClassification code:716 Telecommunication; Radar, Radio and Television - 717 Optical Communication - 718 Telephone Systems and Related Technologies; Line Communications - 723.2 Data Processing and Image Processing - 731.1 Control Systems - 811.1.1 Papermaking ProcessesDOI:10.3724/SP.J.1016.2012.01959Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Moreover, the electron structures of ZnO with zinc interstitial, oxygen vacancy and oxygen interstitial were calculated based on the density functional theory. Three important points were demonstrated: zinc interstitial as an instable donor determines the violet emission and the concentration of free carriers; oxygen vacancy as a steady donor is responsible for the green emission; and oxygen interstitial may induce the yellow-green emission and lead to the red-shift and asymmetry of photoluminescence spectra. These results are beneficial to understand the defect-origins of the visible emissions and their stabilities in ZnO nanostructures, and extending optical and electronic applications. &copy; 2012 World Scientific Publishing Company.Number of references:33Main heading:Zinc oxideControlled terms:Defects - Density functional theory - Nanostructures - Oxygen - Oxygen vacancies - Photoluminescence - ZincUncontrolled terms:Annealing effects - Electron structures - Electronic application - Free carriers - Green emissions - Nanopillars - Photoluminescence properties - Photoluminescence spectrum - Red shift - Vapor-phase transport method - Violet emission - Visible emissions - ZnO - ZnO nanostructuresClassification code:933.3 Electronic Structure of Solids - 933 Solid State Physics - 804.2 Inorganic Compounds - 804 Chemical Products Generally - 951 Materials Science - 761 Nanotechnology - 546.3 Zinc and Alloys - 482 Mineralogy - 423 Non Mechanical Properties and Tests of Building Materials - 741.1 Light/OpticsDOI:10.1142/S1793604712400012Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

The excitation-dependent photoluminescence of uncoated and MgO-coated ZnO microrods was investigated. We found that the MgO coating passivates defect-states on the surface to reduce largely the green emission, thus the ultraviolet emission efficiency is improved significantly. In addition, the monotonous dependences of violet and ultraviolet emissions on excitation wavelengths are found firstly, while the blue and green emissions are likely in saturated states and are nearly independent of excitation wavelengths. This phenomenon can be interpreted by the transition mechanisms and it indicates that the excitation tuning can also be used to further improve ultraviolet emission efficiency. &copy; 2012 Published by Elsevier B.V.

Numerical results of dynamic moment concentration factors at the edge of cutouts in plates were obtained at given parameters by the Mindlin theory and the refined equation of plates, respectively. The comparison of the numerical results was made and discussed. It is shown that at a higher frequency, the numerical results, which are from the Mindlin theory and the refined theory, respectively, are different. Especially, as the cutout radius ratio to the thickness a/h is smaller 0.10, using the refined equation, the dynamic moment factor may approach to the maximum value, which is over 16% compared to that from Mindlin theory. The results are more accurate because the refined equation is derivative without using any engineering hypotheses.Number of references:8Main heading:Mindlin platesControlled terms:Elastic waves - Electromagnetic wave scattering - Stress concentration - Vibrations (mechanical)Uncontrolled terms:Circular cutout - Concentration factors - Dynamic equations - Dynamic stress concentration - Elastic wave scattering - Higher frequencies - Mindlin theory - Moment factor - Numerical results - Plate bending - Radius ratio - Refined theory - Thick plateClassification code:408.2 Structural Members and Shapes - 421 Strength of Building Materials; Mechanical Properties - 422 Strength of Building Materials; Test Equipment and Methods - 711 Electromagnetic Waves - 931.1 MechanicsDOI:10.6052/0459-1879-12-048Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

FESEM and TEM analyses have confirmed that CoS<inf>2</inf> nanoparticles with sizes of 5-15 nm are densely anchored on graphene nanosheets. The as-prepared nanocomposite was electrochemically tested as an electrode material for supercapacitors. The CoS<inf>2</inf>-graphene nanocomposite exhibited specific capacitances of 314 F g^-1 in the aqueous electrolyte and 141 F g^-1 in the organic electrolyte at a current rate of 0.5 A g^-1 with excellent cycling stability. The electrochemical performance of the nanocomposite has been significantly improved, compared to bare graphene nanosheets and CoS<inf>2</inf> nanoparticles. This could be credited to the 3D nanoarchitecture, in which CoS<inf>2</inf> nanoparticles were sandwiched between graphene nanosheets, and the additional electrochemical contribution of the decorated CoS<inf>2</inf> nanoparticles. &copy; 2012 The Royal Society of Chemistry.Number of references:42Main heading:Transition metal compoundsControlled terms:Capacitors - Electrolytes - Graphene - Nanocomposites - Nanoparticles - Nanosheets

A new preamble signal which adapts to the MIMO-OFDM synchronization, is derived based on GCL sequences. The carrier frequency offset (CFO)

estimation is obtained through taking double correlation operations on the preamble signal, and used in the timing synchronization to gain accurate time estimation.

The numerical results suggest that the energy dissipation pattern of the antiferromagnet plays a crucial role for the understanding of the exchange bias training effects, e.g., when the energy dissipation pattern of the antiferromagnet follows power-law function, the best fit function for the dependence of exchange bias on the cycle number is power-law. The physical mechanism that the amount of the

coercive field shift in the descent branch is larger than that of ascent branch for the hysteresis loop measurement and the coercivity of ferromagnet/antiferromagnet bilayers is always larger than that of the corresponding ferromagnet layer has been illuminated, respectively. Moreover, under the different values of damping parameter, the anomalous training effect observed by recent experiment [Z. Shi, Appl. Phys.

Box 1331, Piscataway, NJ 08855-1331, United StatesAbstract:This paper addresses the problem of fault-tolerant control for Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems with actuator faults. First, a general actuator fault model is proposed, which integrates time-varying bias faults and time-varying gain faults. Then, sliding-mode observers (SMOs) are designed to provide a bank of residuals for fault detection and isolation. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, a novel fault-diagnostic algorithm is proposed to estimate the actuator fault, which removes the classical assumption that the time derivative of the output errors should be known as in some existing work. Further, a novel fault-estimation observer is designed. Utilizing the estimated actuator fault, an accommodation scheme is proposed to compensate for the effect of the fault. In addition, a sufficient condition for the existence of SMOs is derived according to Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, simulation results of a near-space hypersonic vehicle are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach. &copy; 1993-2012 IEEE.Number of references:41Main heading:Feedback controlControlled terms:Estimation - Fault detection - Fuzzy systems - Hypersonic aerodynamics - Hypersonic vehiclesUncontrolled terms:Actuator fault - Fault detection and isolation - Fault tolerant control - Lyapunov stability theory - near-space hypersonic vehicle (NSHV) - Output errors - Sliding-mode observer - Sufficient conditions - T S fuzzy system - Takagi Sugeno fuzzy models - Takagi Sugeno fuzzy systems - Time derivative - Time varying - Time-varying gainsClassification code:422 Strength of Building Materials; Test Equipment and Methods - 651.1 Aerodynamics, General - 655.1 Spacecraft, General - 731.1 Control Systems - 921 MathematicsDOI:10.1109/TFUZZ.2011.2181181Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

In this paper, a certificate-based authentication scheme based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) and vector space secret sharing is proposed in detail. The main advantage of ECC versus RSA is that for the same level of security it requires a much shorter key length, so the current scheme is of less communication cost and computation cost which is valuable in practical applications with limited memory, communication bandwidth or processing power. Meanwhile, the Certification Authority (CA) in our scheme consists of n servers. The servers in an authorized subset are necessary to create a certificate, and the servers in an unauthorized subset can do nothing, so our scheme is more secure than conventional certificatebased solutions. Furthermore, it can be proven that the server generates false partial signature, if it does so. Another advantage of the current scheme is that, if there exists at least one honest server, the cheater or cheaters can be easily detected.Number of references:19Main heading:AuthenticationControlled terms:Communication - Telecommunication systems - Vector spacesUncontrolled terms:Authentication scheme - Certificate - Certificate-based - Certification authorities - Communication bandwidth - Communication cost - Computation costs - Current schemes - Elliptic curve cryptography - Limited memory - Processing power - RSA cryptography - Vector space secret sharingClassification code:716 Telecommunication; Radar, Radio and Television - 723 Computer Software, Data Handling and Applications - 921 MathematicsDOI:10.4156/jcit.vol7.issue13.49Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

The algorithm detects the frequent closed item sets in each sliding window using a DFP-tree with a head table. In processing each new transaction, the algorithm changes the head table and modifies the DFP-tree according to the changed items in the head table. The algorithm also adopts a table to store the frequent closed item sets so as to avoid the time-consuming operations of searching in the whole DFP tree for adding or deleting transactions.

By virtue of large surface area, the as-prepared hematite nanoparticles can present the highest capacitance (340.5 F&middotg^-1) and an excellent long cycle life within the operated voltage window (-0.1 to 0.44 V), demonstrating that the as-prepared hematite nanoparticles can serve as one of the most excellent electrode materials for supercapacitors. &copy; 2012 American Chemical Society.Number of references:65Main heading:HematiteControlled terms:Capacitance - Cyclic voltammetry - Electrochemical properties - Hydrothermal synthesis - Nanoparticles - Surface active agentsUncontrolled terms:Charge-discharge - Electrode material - Experimental parameters - Formation mechanism - Galvanostatics - Hematite nanoparticles - Hematite particles - Hydrothermal process - Large surface area - Long cycles - Narrow size distributions - Specific capacitance - Stabilizing agents - Super capacitor - Three electrode-system - Voltage windowClassification code:803 Chemical Agents and Basic Industrial Chemicals - 802.2 Chemical Reactions - 801.4.1 Electrochemistry - 933 Solid State Physics - 761 Nanotechnology - 701.1 Electricity: Basic Concepts and Phenomena - 482.2 Minerals - 708 Electric and Magnetic MaterialsDOI:10.1021/jp304041mDatabase:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

We consider a QWR made of GaAs material surrounded by a barrier of Al<inf>0.3</inf>Ga<inf>0.7</inf>As of finite depth potential. The electronic structure of the QWR, at the single electron level of theory, is obtained inside the effective mass approximation using the plane wave method, while the exciton states and transition oscillator strengths are calculated using the variational principle. The results show that the exciton oscillator strength is strongly enhanced due to the excitonic effect. The external electric field lifts the degeneracy of the electron or hole states. The energy levels of the electron and hole, exciton binding energy and exciton oscillator strength decrease with the increasing of the strength of the electric field. The stronger the electric field, the weaker the excitonic effect is. The influence of the electric field on exciton states and oscillator strengths becomes more significant for wide quantum wires. However, in sufficiently narrow wires, the influence of the electric field is also significant at small fields. &copy; 2012 American Institute of Physics.Number of references:30Main heading:ExcitonsControlled terms:Binding energy - Electric fields - Electronic structure - Nanowires - Semiconductor quantum wires - Variational techniquesUncontrolled terms:Effective mass approximation - Exciton state - Exciton-binding energy - Excitonic effect - External electric field - Finite depth - GaAs - Hole state - Narrow wires -

Stripes oriented along the direction of [1 1 -2 0] form smooth triangular {1 -1 0 1} facets, while stripes in the [1 -1 0 0] direction produce incomplete coalesced {1 1 -2 2} side facets with planar (0 0 0 1) surface under the same growth conditions. Room-temperature luminescence property is investigated by using photoluminescence (PL) and cathodeluminescence (CL) spectra. It is found that uniform emission at 400 nm has been obtained for triangular MQWs oriented the direction of [1 1 -2 0]. With respect to the MQWs grown along the [1 -1 0 0] direction, large redshift is achieved for the ridge area compared to the sidewall due to the lateral vapor diffusion and surface migration. &copy; 2012 Elsevier B.V.

The method first bisects the set of gene sequences into subsets so that the sequences are similar to one another within the same subset and are dissimilar to the ones in the other subset. Such bisecting procedure is executed recursively until each of the subset contains only one gene sequence. With these subsets in different levels, a phylogenetic tree is progressively constructed. Each level of bisecting is based on the ant colony optimisation algorithm. Our phylogenetic tree-

constructing method is tested to compare its performance with that of the other similar methods. Experimental results show that our method can obtain higher speed, superior quality results and is easier to implement.

The parameters of the neural networks under consideration switch over time subject to a Markov chain. The networks involve both the discrete-time-varying delay and the mode-dependent distributed time-delay characterized by the upper and lower boundaries dependent on the Markov chain. By constructing novel Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals, sufficient conditions are firstly established to guarantee

the exponential stability in mean square for the addressed discrete-time neural networks with Markovian jumping parameters and mixed time-delays. Then, the state estimation problem is coped with for the same neural network where the goal is to design a desired state estimator such that the estimation error approaches zero exponentially in mean square. The derived conditions for both the stability and the existence of desired estimators are expressed in the form of matrix inequalities that can be solved by the semi-definite programme method. A numerical simulation example is exploited to demonstrate the usefulness of the main results obtained. &copy; 2012 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.Number of references:35Main heading:Neural networksControlled terms:Asymptotic stability - Linear matrix inequalities - Lyapunov functions - Markov processes - State estimation - Time delayUncontrolled terms:Discrete-time neural networks - Distributed delays - Distributed time delays - Estimation errors - Estimation problem - Exponential stability in mean square - Lower and upper bounds - Lower boundary - Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals - Markovian jumping parameters - Matrix inequality - Mean square - State estimates - State Estimators - Sufficient conditionsClassification code:713 Electronic Circuits - 723.4 Artificial Intelligence - 731 Automatic Control Principles and Applications - 731.1 Control Systems - 921 Mathematics - 922.1 Probability TheoryDOI:10.1007/s11063-012-9219-zDatabase:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

In the analysis, the pile spacing, the fill height and the friction angle of embankment fill were varied. It is found that for low fill height relative to the net pile spacing, H/(s-a)&le1, the failure surface is vertical or slightly inclined which starts from the pile edge and goes through the whole fill height. For H/(s-a)&ge;1.5, the developed failure surface is similar to that assumed in the Terzaghi's bearing capacity theory; there are triangular elastic zone, radial shear zone and passive zone in the embankment fill. By using the failure surface shape determined from the FEM, a two-dimensional simplified method to evaluate the soil arching effect is proposed. The computed stress reduction ratios are compared with FEM results and the experimental data collected from literatures; it is found that the present simplified method can predict reliable results.Number of references:12Main heading:PilesControlled terms:Embankments - Failure modes - Finite element method - SoilsUncontrolled terms:Bearing capacity theory - Embankment fill - Failure surface - Fill height - Finite Element - Friction angles - Pile spacing - Radial shear zone - Simplified method - Soil arching - Stress reductionClassification code:921 Mathematics - 483.1 Soils and Soil Mechanics - 483 Soil Mechanics and Foundations - 921.6 Numerical Methods - 441 Dams and Reservoirs; Hydro Development - 408.2 Structural Members and Shapes - 405 Construction Equipment and Methods; Surveying - 421 Strength of Building Materials; Mechanical PropertiesDatabase:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

The composite control strategy is independent of the mathematical model of the structure. Considering the output superposition and the control input coupling of other modes as a generalized disturbance, the linear ESO of each individual loop estimates the generalized disturbances, and removes their effects by feed-forward compensation. Then, the linear PD controller for each single mode was designed, respectively. In order to verify the proposed algorithm, the dSPACE real-time simulation system was used and an experimental platform for the active vibration control tests of a all-clamped stiffened panel structure was set-up. The experiment results following several different situations demonstrate that the proposed vibration control strategy not only effectively suppresses the vibration excited by first two resonance frequencies of the stiffened panel, but also has the capability of suppressing fluctuation caused by uncertain factors.Number of references:18Main heading:Vibration controlControlled terms:Algorithms - Controllers - Mathematical models - State estimation - TransientsUncontrolled terms:Active disturbance rejection controller - Active vibration controls - Extended state observer - Piezoelectric elements - Stiffened panel structuresClassification code:731.1 Control Systems - 731.3 Specific Variables Control - 732.1 Control Equipment - 921 MathematicsDatabase:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

The dimensional crossover of thermal conductance from one to two dimensions (2D) is clearly demonstrated with increasing ribbon width. The thermal conductance of GNRs of a few nanometers width already exhibits an approximate low-temperature dependence of T^1.5, like that of 2D graphene sheets which is attributed to the quadratic nature of the dispersion relation for the out-of-plane acoustic phonon modes. Using a zone-folding method, we heuristically derive the dimensional crossover of thermal conductance with the increase of ribbon width. Combining our calculations with the experimental phonon mean-free path, some typical values of thermal conductivity at room temperature are estimated for GNRs and for 2D graphene sheet. Our findings clarify the issue of the low-temperature dependence of thermal transport in GNRs and suggest a calibration range of thermal conductivity for experimental measurements in graphene-based materials. &copy; 2012 IOP Publishing Ltd.Number of references:35Main heading:Thermal conductivityControlled terms:Calculations - Graphene - Nanostructures - Temperature distribution - Transport propertiesUncontrolled terms:Acoustic phonons - Density-functional calculations - Dimensional crossover - Dispersion relations - Experimental measurements - First-principles approaches - Graphene nanoribbons - Graphene sheets - Low-temperature dependence - Mean-free path - Out-of-plane - Room temperature - Thermal conductance - Thermal transport - Thermal transport properties - Two dimensions (2D) - Typical valuesClassification code:931.2 Physical Properties of Gases, Liquids and Solids - 921 Mathematics - 804 Chemical Products Generally - 933 Solid State Physics - 761 Nanotechnology - 721 Computer Circuits and Logic Elements - 641.1 Thermodynamics - 723 Computer Software, Data Handling and ApplicationsDOI:10.1088/0953-8984/24/29/295403

Box 211, Amsterdam, 1000 AE, NetherlandsAbstract:We use Grand Ensemble Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations to study the adsorption of thiophene and benzene in Cu-BTC and IRMOF-1 metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). We calculated the adsorption isotherms of pure components and analyze the sitting of the molecules in the two types of structure for the different adsorption pressure. The simulations show that electrostatic interactions between adsorbate and MOF atoms dominate the adsorption mechanism. The bulk compositions of 10:90, 50:50 and 90:50 for thiophene-benzene were studied. The results show that thiophene molecules are preferentially adsorbed over benzene molecules in the pressure range under study for IRMOF-1 while preferentially adsorbed over benzene in the low pressure range for Cu-BTC. IRMOF-1 has a significantly higher adsorption capacity than Cu-BTC, while the adsorption selectivity of thiophene over benzene is observed to be higher in the latter at low pressure, which proves that the separation efficiency is largely affected by shape and nature of linkers of structure. &copy; 2012 Elsevier B.V.

The five mechanical treatments included only tumbling, post-injection tumbling, post-tenderization tumbling, post-injection tenderization and tumbling, post- grinding with broadsword and tumbling. Hams were prepared of Quadriceps femoris from prok hind leg muscle. Water binding characteristics (cooking loss, expressible moisture (EM), pasteurization water loss), textural characteristics (hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, chewiness), color parameters and sensory quality of hams were detected. The results showed that injection or tenderization could help to significantly decrease the cooking loss and expressible moisture of the hams, and the lowest cooking loss of hams made by post-injection tenderization and tumbling treatment was 7.90%. The hams subjected to post- grinding with broadsword and tumbling exhibited the lowest pasteurization water loss, which was 2.66%. Besides, the hams made by post-injection

tenderization and tumbling treatment and the post-grinding with broadsword and tumbling treatment exhibited the lowest pasteurization water loss which was significantly lower than that in the other treatments. Injection and tenderization improved the hardness, cohesiveness and chewiness of the products. The hams manufactured by post-injection tenderization and tumbling treatment showed better texture characteristics than those made by only one treatment or combination of two treatments. However, among the five mechanical treatments, the hams made by post- grinding with broadsword and tumbling treatment exhibited the largest hardness, cohesiveness and chewiness properties. In addition, injection and tenderization improved the lightness and redness, but decreased the yellowness of the hams. Sensory evaluation results indicated that the only tumbling treatment resulted in the worse sensory qualities of the hams, there were no significant differences in sensory qualities between the two kinds of hams which were made by post-injection and post-tenderization tumbling. The sensory textures and sliceability of the hams produced by post-injection tenderization and tumbling treatment were less than those hams made by post- grinding with broadsword and tumbling treatment, but higher visibility of meat matrix and better colour properties were exhibited. Therefore, it's suggested that in industrialized production by post-injection tenderization and tumbling of raw meat porcine sliced ham has the best qualities.Number of references:24Main heading:MeatsControlled terms:Barreling - Grinding (machining) - Hardness - Injection (oil wells) - Moisture - Pasteurization - Quality assurance - Textures - Water qualityUncontrolled terms:Blade tenderization - Color parameter - Colour properties - Industrialized production - Leg muscles - Mechanical pre-treatment - Mechanical treatments - Quality characteristic - Sensory evaluation - Sensory qualities - Sliceability - Sliced ham - Textural characteristic - Texture characteristics - Water binding - Water lossClassification code:933 Solid State Physics - 913.3 Quality Assurance and Control - 822.3 Food Products - 822.2 Food Processing Operations - 951 Materials Science - 801.4 Physical Chemistry - 511.1 Oil Field Production Operations - 453.2 Water Pollution Control - 421 Strength of Building Materials; Mechanical Properties - 606.2 Abrasive Devices and ProcessesDOI:10.3969/j.issn.1002-6819.2012.14.038Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

The effect of alternating high/low cyclic aeration mode on the membrane fouling in the submerged membrane bioreactor was studied by comparing to fouling in a constant aeration mode. Results indicated a higher overall fouling rate in the cyclic aeration mode than in the constant aeration. However, a higher percentage of reversible fouling was observed for the cyclic aeration mode. The membrane permeability can be more easily recovered from physical cleaning such as backwashing in the cyclic aeration mode. The activated sludge floc size distribution analysis revealed a floc destruction and re-flocculation processes caused by the alternating high/low aeration. The short high aeration period could prevent the destruction of strong strength bonds within activated sludge flocs. Therefore, less soluble and colloidal material was observed in the supernatant due to the preservation of the strong strength bonds. The weak strength bonds damaged in the high aeration period could be recovered in the re-flocculation process in the low aeration period. The floc destruction and re-flocculation processes were suggested to be the main reason for the low irreversible fouling in the cyclic aeration mode. &copy; 2012 Elsevier Ltd.Number of references:44Main heading:Strength of materialsControlled terms:Bioreactors - Flocculation - Membrane fouling - Particle size analysis - Size distribution

The preparation and test method of modified asphalt were proposed, and the influences of TOR on the asphalt rubber properties of complex modulus, phase angle, rut factor, viscosity and fatigue factor were analysed. The results show that the complex modulus is increased by adding TOR, but with decreased phase angle. TOR can promote the compatibility between waster rubber powder particles and asphalt with increased rutting resistance at high temperature. The rut factors of asphalt, asphalt rubber and TOR asphalt rubber are all increased after heat aging with increased viscosity-temperature sensitivity. Compared with asphalt rubber, TOR asphalt rubber has better rutting resistance in actual process. The fatigue resistance of TOR

asphalt rubber is improved and better than that of asphalt rubber at low temperature after pressure aging.

KingdomAbstract:The magnetic and electronic properties of the geometrically frustrated triangular antiferromagnet CuCrO<inf>2</inf> are investigated by first principles through density functional theory calculations within the generalized gradient approximations (GGA)+U scheme. The spin exchange interactions up to the third nearest neighbours in the ab plane as well as the coupling between adjacent layers are calculated to examine the magnetism and spin frustration. It is found that CuCrO<inf>2</inf> has a natural two-dimensional characteristic of the magnetic interaction. Using Monte - Carlo simulation, we obtain the Ne&acute;el temperature to be 29.9 K, which accords well with the experimental value of 24 K. Based on non-collinear magnetic structure calculations, we verify that the incommensurate spiral-spin structure with (110) spiral plane is believable for the magnetic ground state, which is consistent with the experimental observations. Due to intra-layer geometric spin frustration, parallel helical-spin chains arise along the a, b, or a + b directions, each with a screw-rotation angle of about 120&deg;. Our calculations of the density of states show that the spin frustration plays an important role in the change of d - p hybridization, while the spin-orbit coupling has a very limited influence on the electronic structure. &copy; 2012 Chinese Physical Society and IOP Publishing Ltd.Number of references:25Main heading:Density functional theoryControlled terms:Electronic properties - Electronic structure - Intelligent systems - MagnetismUncontrolled terms:Adjacent layers - Antiferromagnets - CuCrO - Density functional theory calculations - Density of state - Experimental observation - Experimental values - Generalized gradient approximations - Intra-layer - Magnetic and electronic properties - Magnetic ground state - Magnetic interactions - Magnetically ordered material - Monte- carlo simulations - Multiferroics - Nearest neighbour - Spin frustrations - Spin order - Spin-exchange interaction - Spin-orbit couplings - Spin-orbit effects - Structure calculation - Triangular lattice antiferromagnetClassification code:701.1 Electricity: Basic Concepts and Phenomena - 701.2 Magnetism: Basic Concepts and Phenomena - 723.4 Artificial Intelligence - 922.1 Probability Theory - 931.1 MechanicsDOI:10.1088/1674-1056/21/7/077502Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Whereas the extremely complicated calculations make it almost impossible to establish a precise mathematical formulation to describe the conclusion that for a uniform initial amplitude distribution, there exist two sets of the phase rotation angles defined in the real domain such that a unique desired state can be found with certainty in a two-dimensional complex subspace, we resorted to an approximate computational method for simplifying the calculations and thus derived the multiphase matching equation by induction. This equation guarantees that a unique desired state can be found with high success probability provided the number j of elements in one of the sets of the phase rotation angles is relatively small compared to N (N is sufficiently large). In this case, for any given j&gt;2, we analyze the computational complexity of Long algorithm by exploiting a recurrence relation derived in this paper.

The steady flow field in the pump was obtained through solving the time-averaged N-S equations in the multiple reference frames (MRF) with the help of the SIMPLEC algorithm and the RNG k-&Epsilon; turbulence model. The flow patterns in the pump were analyzed at different operating points. There was a large recirculation zone before the blades inlet when the pump operated at the low flow rate. The flow patterns were fine and there was no any reverse flow regions in the pump when it worked at the BEP (Best Efficiency Point) and the high flow rate. The results indicated the hydraulic loss in the suction pipe is similar to that in a normal pipe, but the hydraulic loss in the discharge pipe depended on operating points. A minimum hydraulic loss in the discharge appeared at the BEP. The estimated performance was in agreement with the test data, both the predicted flow patterns and the PIV measurements showed that there was remarked reverse flow region in front of blades near the tip and there existed a large separated flow zone near the hub downstream of blades at the low flow rate. Thus, attention should be paid on the flow pattern in impeller and guide vanes at a low flow rate in the optimal design of such a tubular pump.Number of references:10Main heading:Flow patternsControlled terms:Computer simulation - Flow rate - Navier Stokes equations - Pumps - Structural frames - Turbulence models - Velocity measurementUncontrolled terms:Best efficiency point - Guide vane - High-flow rate - Hydraulic loss - Hydraulic performance - Multiple-reference frames - N-S equations - Operating points - Optimal design - Performance tests - PIV measurements - Pump system - Recirculation zones - Reverse flow region - Separated flows - SIMPLEC algorithm - Suction pipe - Test data - Time-averagedClassification code:408.2 Structural Members and Shapes - 618.2 Pumps - 631 Fluid Flow - 631.1 Fluid Flow, General - 723.5 Computer Applications - 943.3 Special Purpose InstrumentsDOI:10.3969/j.issn.1674-8530.2012.04.012Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

A defined hysteresis loop of the BFCT film was obtained with the remnant polarization (2P<inf>r</inf>) &sim; 31.7 C/cm² at 1 kHz under the electric field 300 kV/cm. To exclude contribution of the leakage current to polarization, we studied the dependence of hysteresis loops on the measuring frequency in the range from 100 Hz to 2 kHz and made the positive-up-negative-down (PUND) measurements in BFCT thin film. Both the results indicate the intrinsic ferroelectric property, and the leakage current does not play a big role in BFCT film. Meanwhile, the -V curve can also support the natural ferroelectricity in the BFCT film. We also found that the BFCT film shows weak ferromagnetism with the saturated magnetization (M <inf>s</inf>) &sim;2.6 emu/cm³.

Box 3337, Columbus, OH 43210-3337, United StatesAbstract:Randomly oriented fiber mats and well-aligned fiber bundles of the biodegradable polylactide (PLA)/poly(&Epsilon;-caprolactone) (PCL) blends were successfully produced by electrospinning in the present study. For the reticulate fibers, the effects of the blending ratio of two polymers and compositions of mixed solvents on fiber morphology were investigated. The results reveal that the fibers with lower PCL mass fraction show better morphology with larger average fiber diameter than those of the fibers with higher PCL mass fraction. Besides, a small addition of dimethylformamide (DMF) as the assistant solvent favors further improvement of fiber morphology because of the synergistic effects by improved conductivity and altered viscosity of the electrospun solutions. Although the as-obtained blend fibers show smooth surface structure, the phase separation between PCL and PLA occurs inside the fibers because the two components are thermodynamically immiscible, and the discrete phase shows an elongated morphology along with the fiber axis, instead of the droplet structure. For the aligned fiber bundles collected on a rotating disk, the degree of order increases with increase of the tangential velocity, accompanied by reduced average fiber diameter. Hierarchical orientations including the macroscopic fiber alignment, the elongation of discrete PCL phase, and the molecular orientation of both the PLA and PCL can be observed within the aligned blend fibers. &copy; 2012 American Chemical Society.Number of references:48Main heading:Fibers

Abstract:The water passageway structure of pumping station is both mass concrete structure and complicated structure. Cracks always appear in these areas during construction period. It will shorten the building life, and endanger the safety of pumping station. Three dimensional finite element method is adopted to simulate the temperature field and stress field of pump station in construction. The considering loads include gravity, temperature, autogenous volume deformation, and creep. The temperature and the first principle stress duration curves of easily cracking area are analyzed in different cases. After optimization of different temperature control measure, the tensile stress of different areas in early age or later age can be controlled lower than tension strength, and the cracking prevention safety factor can be raised. It is found that pipe cooling, surface insulation, pouring intermission, structure constrains can change the tensile stress obviously for pumping station. The influence of these factors is separately concluded. &copy; (2012) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.Number of references:4Main heading:Pumping plantsControlled terms:Building materials - Civil engineering - Concrete construction - Cracks - Finite element method - Safety factor - Temperature control - Tensile stressUncontrolled terms:Complicated structures - Concrete temperatures - Crack prevention - Cracking area - Cracking prevention - During construction - Early age - Principle stress - Pump station - Pumping stations - Stress field - Surface insulation - Tension strength - Three-dimensional finite element method - Volume deformationClassification code:731.3 Specific Variables Control - 662.1 Automobiles - 446 Waterworks - 421 Strength of Building Materials; Mechanical Properties - 415 Metals, Plastics, Wood and Other Structural Materials - 921.6 Numerical Methods - 414 Masonry Materials - 412 Concrete - 411 Bituminous Materials - 409 Civil Engineering, General - 405 Construction Equipment and Methods; Surveying - 413 Insulating MaterialsDOI:10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMM.170-173.1907Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, GermanyAbstract:Brookfield Viscometer, Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) and Bending Beam Rheometer (BBR) are employed to analyze properties of rubber asphalt and TOR rubber asphalt after water aging. Through simulating, the influences of parameter changes of water on the performances of asphalts after aging were studied. The results show that the PH value and sodium chloride content of water affects the aging properties of asphalt, and as the parameter changes, the high temperature performance of TOR rubber asphalt are better than rubber asphalt. DSR and BBR tests reveal that the higher the acidity (or the lower PH value) and the sodium chloride content of water are, the more seriously rubber asphalt and TOR rubber asphalt age in water aging; the lower the temperature is, the larger the S value and the smaller the m value become, and the worse the low temperature performance and dissipation of temperature stress of rubber asphalt and TOR rubber asphalt get. &copy; (2012) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.Number of references:10Main heading:Aging of materialsControlled terms:Asphalt - Asphalt pavements - Building materials - Civil engineering - pH - Rheometers - Rubber - Sodium chlorideUncontrolled terms:Aging properties - Bending beam rheometer - Brookfield viscometers - Chloride contents - Comparative studies - Dynamic shear rheometer - High temperature performance - Low temperature performance - Parameter changes - pH value - Temperature stress - Water agingClassification code:951 Materials Science - 943.3 Special Purpose Instruments - 818.1 Natural Rubber - 804.2 Inorganic Compounds - 801.1 Chemistry, General - 421 Strength of Building Materials; Mechanical Properties - 415 Metals, Plastics, Wood and Other Structural Materials - 414 Masonry Materials - 413 Insulating Materials - 412 Concrete - 411.1 Asphalt - 411 Bituminous Materials - 409 Civil Engineering, GeneralDOI:10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMM.178-181.1383Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, GermanyAbstract:The size, the position and the arrangement of external restraint will significantly affect the mechanical properties of the structures with the external restraint. Based on classical beam theory, the stress distribution of a simply supported beam with externally reinforcing steel bars under transverse loads is analyzed in this presentation. By assuming that the stresses in both the beam and the external constrains are less than their proportional limits, an analytical formulation of normal stress in the cross section of the beam was derived by considering two cases that the externally reinforcing steel bars are pre-stressed and are not pre-stressed. Influences of the parameters of the stiffness and the position of the externally reinforcing steel bars on the stress of the beam are discussed. &copy; (2012) Trans Tech Publications.Number of references:10Main heading:Stress concentrationControlled terms:Bars (metal) - Building materials - Civil engineering - Mechanical propertiesUncontrolled terms:Analytical formulation - Classical beam theory - Cross section - Euler Bernoulli beam theory - External restraint - Normal stress - Parameters analysis - Pre-stressed - Reinforcing steel bar - Simply supported beams - Transverse loadClassification code:535.1.2 Rolling Mill Practice - 422 Strength of Building Materials; Test Equipment and Methods - 421 Strength of Building Materials; Mechanical Properties - 415 Metals, Plastics, Wood and Other Structural Materials - 951 Materials Science - 414 Masonry Materials - 412 Concrete - 411 Bituminous Materials - 409 Civil Engineering, General - 413 Insulating MaterialsDOI:10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMM.166-169.3065

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, GermanyAbstract:Fourteen concrete beams reinforced with 500MPa longitudinal steel bars were tested under two-point symmetrical concentrated static loading to investigate their deflection characteristics. And the formula for short-time stiffness specified in the code for design of concrete (GB50010-2010) were evaluated using the experimental results and available test data of 74concrete beams reinforced with 500MPa longitudinal steel bars. The results show that the deflection behavior of beams with 500MPa longitudinal steel bars is essentially similar to that of beams reinforced with conventional steel reinforcements. It is also shown that the formula for short-time stiffness under service loads specified in GB50010-2010 is applicable for flexural

members reinforced with 500MPa longitudinal steel bars. Comparisons of the test results with the calculated values for the short-time deflection according to GB50010-2010 show that the code method can be used to estimate the short-time deflection for beams reinforced with 500MPa longitudinal steel bars, but that the method is somewhat less accurate for beams with light reinforcement ratio and low-strength concrete. &copy; (2012) Trans Tech Publications.Number of references:10Main heading:ReinforcementControlled terms:Bars (metal) - Building materials - Civil engineering - Concrete beams and girders - Deflection (structures) - Loading - StiffnessUncontrolled terms:Calculated values - Concrete beam - Conventional steel - Flexural member - High-strength - Longitudinal steel - Reinforced concrete beams - Reinforcement ratios - Service loads - Static loading - Steel bars - Test data - Two-pointClassification code:951 Materials Science - 672 Naval Vessels - 535.1.2 Rolling Mill Practice - 422 Strength of Building Materials; Test Equipment and Methods - 421 Strength of Building Materials; Mechanical Properties - 415 Metals, Plastics, Wood and Other Structural Materials - 414 Masonry Materials - 413 Insulating Materials - 412 Concrete - 411 Bituminous Materials - 409 Civil Engineering, GeneralDOI:10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMM.166-169.1592Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, GermanyAbstract:Relationship between bending solutions of functionally graded Timoshenko beams (FGMTB) and those of homogenous Euler-Bernoulli beams (HEBB) were studied in this presentation. The deflection and the rotational angle of FGMTB are expressed in terms of the deflection of the corresponding HEBB with the same geometry, loadings and end constraints. Consequently, solutions of bending of the FGMTB are simplified as the calculation of the transition coefficients which can be easily determined by the variation law of the gradient of the material properties and the geometry of the beams because the solutions of corresponding HEBB are well known. As examples, solutions for the FGM Timoshenko beams under S-S, C-C, C-F and C-S end constraints and subjected to arbitrary transverse loadings were presented. These analytical solutions can be as benchmarks in the further investigations of behaviors of FGM beams. &copy; (2012) Trans Tech Publications.Number of references:15Main heading:Particle beamsControlled terms:Bending (forming) - Building materials - Civil engineering - Functionally graded materialsUncontrolled terms:Euler Bernoulli beams - Functionally graded - Material property - Rotational angle - Timoshenko beams - Transition coefficient - Transverse loadingClassification code:535.2 Metal Forming - 415 Metals, Plastics, Wood and Other Structural Materials - 414 Masonry Materials - 932.1 High Energy Physics - 413 Insulating Materials - 411 Bituminous Materials - 409 Civil Engineering, General - 412 ConcreteDOI:10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMM.166-169.2831Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

estrogenic effect of Changjiang River raw water, effluent water from conventional process (flocculation + sedimentation + sand filter), effluent water from enhanced conventional process (flocculation + sedimentation + biological enhanced activity filter), and effluent water from biological activated carbon process (flocculation + sedimentation + sand filter + biological activated carbon filter) are analyzed. The results of in vitro test showed that when water sample at dosage of 0.01 to 2.43 L/plate, the curve of estrogen effect in Changjiang River raw water, effluent water from conventional process and enhanced conventional process was similar with that of 17&beta;-estradiol. Their estrogen effect increased with increasing of water sample volume in certain extent, which had the dose-response relationship, and there is no estrogen effect in the effluent water from biological activated carbon process within the test's dosage range. The results of in vivo test showed that comparing with the control group at dosage of 1 to 125 L/kg, Changjiang River raw water, effluent water from conventional process and enhanced conventional process could increase the weight of rat uterus, which indicated that the organic matters in the water samples still had estrogenic effect after the metabolic transformation in body. This study demonstrates that recombinant yeast assay, cell proliferation assay and uterotropic assay can be used for assessment of safety of effluents water from different drinking water treatment process. &copy; (2012) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.Number of references:15Main heading:EffluentsControlled terms:Activated carbon - Cell proliferation - Flocculation - Rat control - Rivers - Sediments - YeastUncontrolled terms:Biological activated carbon - Biological enhanced activated filter - Estrogenic effect - Raw water - Water safetyClassification code:804 Chemical Products Generally - 802.3 Chemical Operations - 801.2 Biochemistry - 483 Soil Mechanics and Foundations - 461.9 Biology - 452.3 Industrial Wastes - 407.2 WaterwaysDOI:10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMR.518-523.2410Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Hydraulic performance and head loss of the inlet duct were calculated and analyzed. This study reveals that the flow in this duct of gradual contraction takes a good pattern of no separation trend or vortices, producing a head loss of 5.9 cm only, and that at the outlet, the uniformity of axial velocity reaches 98.2% and the flow angle is 88.42&deg; on average. These results show that the duct shape is reasonable. Through scale-model test of a 30&deg; slanting pump set, the characteristic energy curves at five blade angles, NPSH<inf>c</inf> at three blade angles and the runaway speed at blade angle of -2&deg; were obtained for the model and prototype pumps. The experimental results indicate that peak efficiency increase as the blade angle decreases, with its maximum of 83% at the angle of -4&deg;.

Compared to bare and graphene modified electrodes, this nanocomposite modified electrode not only significantly improved the electrochemical peak potential difference between DA and ascorbic acid (AA), but also noticeably enhanced the current response. The constructed DA sensor showed a wide linear range (5-1000 &mu;M) and a low detection limit (1.86 &mu;M).

The parameter identification of DFIG with three-phase short circuit is studied with the least squares regression method. It is found that, there are DC, AC fundamental and AC harmonics in short circuit current, and their variation law depends on DFIG parameters, slip and rotor excitation voltage. Therefore, the motor parameters can be identified by separating the components of short circuit current and comparing them with the expression of short circuit current. The simulative data of 1.5 MW DFIG validates the feasibility and high accuracy of the proposed method.Number of references:16Main heading:Least squares approximationsControlled terms:AC generator motors - Identification (control systems) - Nonlinear equations - Short circuit currents - Wind power - Wind turbinesUncontrolled terms:AC harmonics - Least squares methods - Least-squares regression method - Motor parameters - Rotor excitations - Three-phase short circuits - Vector controlsClassification code:615.8 Wind Power (Before 1993, use code 611 ) - 701.1 Electricity: Basic Concepts and Phenomena - 705.3.1 AC Motors - 731.1 Control Systems - 921.1 Algebra - 921.6 Numerical MethodsDatabase:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

This paper for the first time presents a short-term forecast model of the algal blooms in Chaohu Lake based on the combination of high-frequency measured values of environmental factors in water with BP neural network technique. The model could accurately forecast the time of each bloom, and the correlation coefficient between the forecasted and observed values is up to 0.6084. Further, the issues in the modeling process were analyzed such as the limitation of BP neural network, the input and output data preprocessing, network structure design, training mode selection and other aspects. Finally, a specific method to select environmental factors and its modeling scheme were determined. The proposed model could be easily used on other lakes showing its strong practicability and universality.Number of references:10Main heading:ForecastingControlled terms:Lakes - Neural networksUncontrolled terms:Algal blooms - BP neural networks - Correlation coefficient - Environmental factors - High frequency HF - Input and outputs - Modeling process - Network structures - Short-term forecasts - Training modeClassification code:407 Maritime and Port Structures; Rivers and Other Waterways - 723.4 Artificial Intelligence - 921 MathematicsDatabase:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

By the modified efficiency, calculation is made to verify the relationship between PS efficiency, conduit efficiency and pump system efficiency for three pump stations on the eastern route of south-to-north water diversion (SNWD). Results indicate that PS should be defined as two basic components, pump impeller and guide vane. The integrated characteristic curves provided by a model pump test on the same test stand as the SNWD model pumps, represents the hydraulic performance of model pump test section (MPTS) including the head losses in the inlet and outlet pipes of test section, and thus the PS performance of a large pump system should be modified to account for the head losses in the inlet and outlet pipes of MPTS. As both the modified values of head and efficiency of a PS are greater than those of MPTS, head modification is roughly 0.15 m under the design flow rate. Efficiency modification in the range of 1-4% depends on the head of MPTS, with greater modification for lower head cases. Conduit efficiency is calculated using conduit loss and pump head. By using this efficiency and modified PS efficiency, the pump system efficiency of design condition may be estimated. The difference between such an estimation and the tested value is usually less than 1%. &copy; right.Number of references:11Main heading:PumpsControlled terms:Efficiency - Flood control - Hydraulic machinery - Inlet flow - Water supplyUncontrolled terms:Design condition - Design flow rate - Flow passage - Guide vane - Head loss - Hydraulic designs - Hydraulic loss - Hydraulic performance - Integrated characteristics - Model pump - Pump head - Pump impeller - Pump station - Pump system - South-to-North - Test sections - Test stands - Water diversions

Results show that the flow in the volute passage takes spiral pattern of combined axial and rotary flows and that the static pressure distribution is symmetric. At the outlet, the uniformity of axial velocity is poor and the velocity-weighted average swirl angle is relatively low, and on the blades the static pressure has a regular distribution, higher on its pressure side than its suction side. As flow rate increases, the axial force of runner decreases gradually, while the radial force decreases first and then increases.

The FE model was constructed by three-dimensional solid elements. The space bracket structure was adopted to reflect the connection configurations and the basic characteristics of load transfer. The contact-target pair was set on the interface between Dou (block) and Gong (bracket) to carry out the function of energy dissipation by friction and shear. A finite model of typical Dou-Gong was constructed by program ANSYS, and the test processes of the physical model under the vertical load and horizontal load were simulated respectively.

The performance calculations were made at 9 operation points within flow rates range 240-460 L/s under the rated rotating speed. The effects of flow guide cone on the hydraulic performance of inlet passage and the effects of guide vane on the performance of pumping system were analyzed. To verify the accuracy and reliability of the calculation results, a model test was conducted. The singular point which caused the submerse vortex under pump suction were eliminated by flow guide cone. With the flow guide cone, the axial velocity distribution uniformity at the exit section of suction passage was improved by 0.5-

0.8 percentage points, and velocity-weighted average swirl angle increased by 0.3&deg;-1.28&deg;. Flow guide cone has little effect on water flow by gravity. Diffuse shape guide vane can better recover circulation out from impeller at large flow rate, therefore the efficiency of pumping system increased obviously.Number of references:11Main heading:Pumping plantsControlled terms:Inlet flow - Navier Stokes equations - Three dimensionalUncontrolled terms:Axial flow pump - Flow passage - Guide vane - Hydraulic performance - Pumping systemsClassification code:446 Waterworks - 631.1 Fluid Flow, General - 902.1 Engineering GraphicsDOI:10.3969/j.issn.1005-0930.2012.03.007Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Reversible circuit can be also used in many other fields, including low-power CMOS, nanotechnology and optical computing. How to automatically design optimal desired quantum circuits is very important to related research works, such as description, implementation and optimization of quantum algorithms. By applying bit operation to construct a perfect Hash function, we have proposed an efficient algorithm, which can construct any optimal 3-qubit reversible logic circuits with minimal cost in theory by using various types of quantum logic gates.

Judging by the internationally recognized reversible functions of three variables, the algorithm not only synthesizes all optimal reversible logic circuits, but also runs extremely faster than other ones.

The effects of different connection methods of studs, the opening and different materials on the strength, stiffness, ultimate displacement, stud lift and energy dissipation of the shear walls were studied. Experimental results show that joints with rabbet can avoid connection failure of nail connection under cyclic loads and ensure the integrity of the wall

frame. The joints with rabbet can improve wall stiffness and limit the deformation of the wall. An opening in the wall can significantly reduce the stiffness and increase energy dissipation capacity of the wall. And plywood can be used to make shear wall in place of OSB because of the good shear performance in experiment.Number of references:7Main heading:Shear wallsControlled terms:Bridge decks - Cyclic loads - Energy dissipation - Stiffness - Strength of materials - Studs (fasteners) - Studs (structural members)Uncontrolled terms:Connection failures - Connection method - Domestic materials - Energy dissipation capacities - Quasi-static tests - Rabbet - Shear performance - Stud connections - Wall frame - Wall stiffnessClassification code:951 Materials Science - 605.2 Small Tools, Unpowered - 525.4 Energy Losses (industrial and residential) - 422 Strength of Building Materials; Test Equipment and Methods - 421 Strength of Building Materials; Mechanical Properties - 408.2 Structural Members and Shapes - 408.1 Structural Design, General - 402 Buildings and Towers - 401.1 BridgesDatabase:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

RF power are also altered to investigate the different effects by using Cl<inf>2</inf>/BCl<inf>3</inf> or Cl<inf>2</inf>/Ar as etching gases. The etch rate and surface morphology of the etched surface are characterized by using surface profiler, scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. The root-mean-square roughness values are systematically compared. It is found that the etch rates of Cl<inf>2</inf>/Ar are higher than that of the Cl<inf>2</inf>/BCl<inf>3</inf> in the Cl<inf>2</inf> fraction ranging from 10 to 90%. When the ICP power is increased, the RMS roughness of GaN surface after ICP etching shows reverse trend between Cl<inf>2</inf>/ BCl<inf>3</inf> and Cl<inf>2</inf>/Ar gas mixture.

Abstract:Quantum circuit is reversible and reversible circuit can also be used in many other fields, including low-power electronics, cryptography, nano computing and optical computing, etc. How to automatically design optimal desired reversible circuits is very important to related research works. However, according to the current quantum technologies, the trivial gate count metric does not adequately reflect the resources required by different gates, several abstract cost functions have been proposed to abstract away specific technology details. We present a novel algorithm which can construct optimal 3-qubit reversible logic circuits for any given reversible logic gates and cost metrics by constructing a minimal perfect hash function. We also present an algorithm which can automatically construct any n-qubit logic gate library. In the experiments on 3-qubit synthesis, our algorithm can synthesize all optimal reversible circuits with extremely fast speed. &copy; 2012 Binary Information Press.Number of references:13Main heading:Logic gatesControlled terms:Hash functions - Logic circuits - Optical data processing - Optimization - Power electronics - Quantum computersUncontrolled terms:Cost metrics - Gate count - Gate libraries - Nano-computing - Novel algorithm - Quantum circuit - Quantum technologies - Reversible circuits - Reversible Logic - Reversible logic gates - Synthesis algorithmsClassification code:921.5 Optimization Techniques - 921 Mathematics - 723.2 Data Processing and Image Processing - 723 Computer Software, Data Handling and Applications - 722 Computer Systems and Equipment - 721.3 Computer Circuits - 715.2 Industrial Electronic EquipmentDatabase:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Box 211, Amsterdam, 1000 AE, NetherlandsAbstract:Elastic colloidal crystal films with brilliant color and good elongation properties were simply fabricated by depositing P(MMA-BA) copolymer spheres. Distinguished from conventional elastic colloidal crystal films formed by a core-shell spheres with a hard core and a soft shell, the film was derived from pure soft spheres, thus it can withstand elongation by no less than 500%, benefiting from the absence of a rigid frame. Unlike the common soft spheres merging into a continuous matrix during the film fabrication process, our latex spheres remain separated because of their hydrophobicity, provided the film was in wet state. The results show that the basic condition for preparing elastic film is the ratio of BA to MMA in the sphere greater than 1.22. When this ratio is between 1.86 and 2.33, the film has the best elongation property. &copy; 2012 Elsevier B.V.Number of references:33Main heading:SpheresControlled terms:Colloids - Elongation - Fabrication - Plastic filmsUncontrolled terms:Basic conditions - Colloidal crystal films - Colloidal crystals - Core-shell spheres - Elastic films - Elongation properties - Film fabrication - Hard cores - Latex spheres - Rigid frame - Soft spheresClassification code:421 Strength of Building Materials; Mechanical Properties - 422 Strength of Building Materials; Test Equipment and Methods - 631 Fluid Flow - 801.3 Colloid Chemistry - 817.1 Polymer Products - 913.4 ManufacturingDOI:10.1016/j.colsurfa.2012.03.030Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

The steady and oscillatory flow behaviors were then explored. The results show that the presence of CNTs enhances the pseudoplastic flow accompanied by the increased flow activation energy. However, the linear flow region is not sensitive to the temperature whether driven by shear rate or by strain. During oscillatory shear flow, the solid-like response is attributed to the percolation of CNTs, but the formation of a percolated CNT network is temperature- dependent, and the percolation threshold values reduce with an increase of temperature. The two-phase viscoelastic model was then used to further describe the linear responses of composites, aiming at relating hierarchical structures of the CNTs to flow behaviors of the composites. &copy; 2012 American Chemical Society.Number of references:63Main heading:Carbon nanotubesControlled terms:Activation energy - Rheology - SolventsUncontrolled terms:Flow activation energy - Flow behaviors - Hierarchical structures - Linear flows - Linear response - Melt-compounding - Oscillatory flows - Oscillatory shear flow - Percolation threshold value - Poly(vinylidene fluoride) composites - Pseudoplastic flow - Rheological studies - Viscoelastic modelsClassification code:761 Nanotechnology - 801.4 Physical Chemistry - 803 Chemical Agents and Basic Industrial Chemicals - 931.1 MechanicsDOI:10.1021/ie2024454Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Box 211, Amsterdam, 1000 AE, NetherlandsAbstract:The primary settling tank is a preliminary step to the biological wastewater treatment to remove settleable organic particles and reduce the load for the following treatment. However the settleable particles removed can also provide the necessary carbon source for the biological nutrient removal process. Therefore a balance between preserving the carbon source and reducing the burden for aeration tank needs to be reached. This demands a clear understanding of the particle settleability and carbon source availability. In this study, the granulometric and respirometric analysis have been carried out on the raw, 15, 30, 45, 60 and 90. min settled wastewater to study the effect of primary settlement on the wastewater carbon source availability. Granulometric analysis indicated that the majority of particle number and volume reduction were achieved in the initial 15 and 30. min settling. The settling of submicron particles was enhanced by the interactions between the submicron particles and larger particles. Respirometric analysis showed that the slowly biodegradable chemical oxygen demand could be correlated to the sum of each particle volume divided by the square or cubic of particle diameter. The readily biodegradable chemical oxygen demand was found to be correlated to the particle number in wastewater. &copy; 2012 Elsevier B.V..Number of references:15Main heading:Particles (particulate matter)Controlled terms:Carbon - Chemical oxygen demand - Particle size analysis - Sewage tanksUncontrolled terms:Activated sludge - Aeration tanks - Biological nutrient removal - Biological waste water treatment - Carbon source - Granulometric analysis - Organic particles - Oxygen uptake rates - Particle diameters - Particle numbers - Particle volume - Primary settlement tank - Settleability - Sub-micron particles - Volume reductionsClassification code:453 Water Pollution - 619.2 Tanks - 804 Chemical Products Generally - 951 Materials ScienceDOI:10.1016/j.cej.2012.02.066Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

First, the binary robust independent elementary features (BRIEF) extraction algorithm is employed to detect and describe the local invariant feature points in the image region of vision object to track. Based on a fast feature matching procedure, a coarse-to-fine target location method is proposed for real-time and accurate object tracking in the robot navigation process. Secondly, the autonomous navigation mission based on object tracking is decomposed into several behaviors in some of which the object tracking algorithm is integrated. Finally, the macro behavior-based robot mission execution mechanism is used to control the robot moving towards the vision target autonomously. Experimental results show that the proposed approach makes the reconnaissance robot accurately track the vision guidance object in real-time, and perform the target oriented autonomous navigation task reliably.Number of references:12Main heading:Computer visionControlled terms:Algorithms - Image matching - Navigation - Navigation systems - RobotsUncontrolled terms:Autonomous navigation - Behavior-based robots - Coarse-to-fine - Extraction algorithms - Feature matching - Image regions - Local invariant features - Mission execution - Navigation methods - Object Tracking - Object tracking algorithm - Reconnaissance robot - Robot navigation - Target location - Vision based navigation - Vision guidanceClassification code:741.2 Vision - 741 Light, Optics and Optical Devices - 731.5 Robotics - 921 Mathematics - 723.5 Computer Applications - 716.3 Radio Systems and Equipment - 434.4 Waterway Navigation - 723 Computer Software, Data Handling and ApplicationsDOI:10.3969/j.issn.1001-0505.2012.03.002

The station is subject to amount of redundant water from the upper reach, so it can utilize the water to generate power; however, the time for pumping water is much longer than that for generating power. Considering those features, it is necessary to optimize the power generation scheme for this reversible pump unit. In doing so, the basic situation and benefits of power generated by the pump unit in reverse mode were introduced; the technical issues were analyzed and the economic benefits were compared when the pump unit is reverse mode. The benefits of the pumping station due to power generation in the past more than 3 years were summarized, and the net benefits of three power generation schemes were analyzed and compared from the relationship between investment and income. The results indicated that large pumping station generating power by exploiting redundant water from upper reach can achieve better economic and social benefits. However, if a pumping station can be used to generate power or not and what scheme will be adopted should depend on the consideration about the primary and secondary relationship between pumping water and power generation as well as the economic and social benefits. For Jiangdu No.3 Pumping Station, the initial power generation equipment was updated to frequency converters. Though the frequency converters were installed, the cost of the main electric motors was reduced, causing the total cost of equipments was decreased. As a result, the power output was increases by 30%-35%. Besides, the frequency converters have no influence

on the pumping efficiency of pump units, so they are technologically feasible. Moreover, the frequency converters are reliable in operation and can be installed easily.Number of references:8Main heading:Water supplyControlled terms:Economic and social effects - Economics - Electric substations - Frequency converters - Pumping plants - PumpsUncontrolled terms:Benefit analysis - Comparison and analysis - Economic and social benefits - Economic benefits - Generation method - Power generation equipment - Power out put - Pumping efficiency - Pumping stations - Reverse mode - Reversible pump unit - South-to-North water diversion project - Total costsClassification code:446 Waterworks - 446.1 Water Supply Systems - 618.2 Pumps - 705.1 Electric Machinery, General - 706.1 Electric Power Systems - 971 Social SciencesDOI:10.3969/j.issn.1674-8530.2012.03.016Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

The universal formulas were applicable for head, flow rate, efficiency and NPSHc. The head curves of both pump and pumping system were presented in a quadratic polynomial, and the head coefficients were calculated by using the least square method. The overall efficiency formula was detailed and the method for determining the constant involved the formula was introduced. Also, a universal

NPSHc formula, which is applicable to any operating points, and where the shock loss effect is include, was provided in this paper. The approach for determining the coefficient in that formula was proposed as well. The universal formulas for head, flow rate, efficiency and NPSHc were derived according to flow similarity in pumps and by means of the affinity laws of pump, and presented with head coefficient, efficiency constant and NPSHc coefficient. All the formulas, their coefficients and constants were integrated into one formula, respectively; thus they were considered as universal ones, which are applicable to both model and prototype pumps.

We have created an RNAi construct containing coat protein gene (CP) and disease specific protein gene (SP) sequences from RSV. The RNAi construct was transformed into two susceptible japonica varieties, Suyunuo and Guanglingxiangjing, to develop resistance against RSD. The homozygous progeny of rice plants in the T<inf>5</inf> and T<inf>7</inf> generations containing RNAi constructs, after self-fertilization were strongly resistant to viral infection. RT-PCR indicated that viral replication of SP and CP in the transgenic plants was significantly inhibited. There were no obvious morphological or developmental differences between the transgenic and wild-type plants from seedling stage to maturity. The excellent agronomic traits of these two varieties, such as high yield and good quality were maintained. Suppression of virus genes using RNAi is therefore a practical and effective strategy for controlling viral infection in crops. &copy; 2012 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.Number of references:33Main heading:GenesControlled terms:Plants (botany) - Proteins - VirusesUncontrolled terms:Coat protein genes - Homozygous transgenic plants - Protein genes - RNAi - Virus resistanceClassification code:461.2 Biological Materials and Tissue Engineering - 461.9 Biology - 804.1 Organic CompoundsDOI:10.1007/s10529-012-0848-0Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

ISSN:10009345CODEN:CJMEERDocument type:Journal article (JA)Publisher:Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society, No.46,Road Sanlihe, Beijing, 100823, ChinaAbstract:Blade element moment (BEM) is a widely used technique for prediction of wind turbine aerodynamics performance, the reliability of airfoil data is an important factor to improve the prediction accuracy of aerodynamic loads and power using a BEM code. The method of determination of angle of attack on rotor blades developed by SHEN, et al is successfully used to extract airfoil data from experimental characteristics on the MEXICO (Model experiments in controlled conditions) rotor. Detailed surface pressure and particle image velocimetry (PIV) flow fields at different rotor azimuth positions are examined to determine the sectional airfoil data. The present technique uses simultaneously both PIV data and blade pressure data that include the actual flow conditions (for example, tunnel effects), therefore it is more advantageous than other techniques which only use the blade loading (pressure data). The extracted airfoil data are put into a BEM code, and the calculated axial and tangential forces are compared to both computations using BEM with Glauert's and SHEN's tip loss correction models and experimental data. The comparisons show that the present method of determination of angle of attack is correct, and the re-calculated forces have good agreements with the experiment. &copy; Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2012.Number of references:17Main heading:AirfoilsControlled terms:Angle of attack - Boundary element method - Experiments - Forecasting - Loading - Wind turbinesUncontrolled terms:BEM code - Blade elements - Blade loading - Blade pressure - Controlled conditions - Experimental characteristics - Experimental data - Flow condition - Load predictions - Me-xico - Model experiments - Particle image velocimetries - Prediction accuracy - Pressure data - Rotor aerodynamics - Rotor blades - Surface pressures - Tangential force - Tip loss correction - Wind turbine aerodynamicsClassification code:921.6 Numerical Methods - 921 Mathematics - 901.3 Engineering Research - 672 Naval Vessels - 652.1 Aircraft, General - 651.1 Aerodynamics, General - 615.8 Wind Power (Before 1993, use code 611 )DOI:10.3901/CJME.2012.03.506Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

In most previous works, nonlinear dynamics was ignored and the disturbances were merged into either a Gaussian or norm-bounded variable, where the Kalman filtering or robust filtering can be applied, respectively. In this article, the unmodelled nonlinear dynamics, drifts, parametric uncertainties, as well as other disturbances are considered simultaneously and are formulated into different types of uncertain disturbances described by the exo-system, stochastic and norm-bounded variable, respectively. A nonlinear initial alignment approach for INS is first presented based on a new disturbance attenuation and rejection filtering scheme against multiple disturbances. The INS error model with both nonlinear dynamics and multiple disturbances is established and the initial alignment problem is transformed into a robust nonlinear filter design problem for a class of nonlinear systems with multiple disturbances. In the proposed composite filtering approach, the drift filter is designed to estimate and compensate the inertial sensor drift. Mixed H<inf>2</inf>H<inf>&infin;</inf> filtering is designed to optimise the estimation error and attenuate the norm-bounded uncertain disturbances, respectively. Simulations for ground stationary base initial alignment of an INS are provided. Comparisons show that the concerned INS has the enhanced disturbance rejection and attenuation performance.

Simple line integrals from 0 to for

the elastic fields are derived by applying the point-force Green's functions in the corresponding half-space. Notably, the geometry of the polygonal dislocation is included entirely in the integrand easing integration for any arbitrarily shaped dislocation. We apply the proposed method to a hexagonal shaped dislocation loop with Burgers vector along 1 1 0 lying on the crystallographic (1 1 1) slip plane within a half-space of a copper crystal. It is demonstrated numerically that the displacement jump condition on the dislocation loop surface and the traction-free condition on the surface of the half-space are both satisfied. On the free surface of the half-space, it is shown that the distributions of the hydrostatic stress (&sigma;<inf>11</inf>- &sigma;<inf>22</inf>)/2 and pseudohydrostatic displacement (u<inf>1</inf> u <inf>2</inf>)/2 are both anti-symmetric, while the biaxial stress ( <inf>11</inf>-<inf>22</inf>)/2 and pseudobiaxial displacement (u <inf>1</inf>-u<inf>2</inf>)/2 are both symmetric. &copy; 2012 American Society of Mechanical Engineers.Number of references:27Main heading:GeometryControlled terms:Anisotropy - Dislocations (crystals) - Green's function - StressesUncontrolled terms:Anisotropic elastic - Anti-symmetric - Biaxial stress - Copper crystals - Dislocation loop - Displacement jump - Elastic displacements - Elastic fields - Free surfaces - Half-space - Hydrostatic stress - Polygonal shapes - Simple lines - Slip plane - Stress fieldClassification code:421 Strength of Building Materials; Mechanical Properties - 801.4 Physical Chemistry - 921 Mathematics - 931.2 Physical Properties of Gases, Liquids and SolidsDOI:10.1115/1.4005554Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

CODEN:POLMAGDocument type:Journal article (JA)Publisher:Elsevier Ltd, Langford Lane, Kidlington, Oxford, OX5 1GB, United KingdomAbstract:Using two spirocyclic core building units, microporous polymeric spheres SPOP-5 and SPOP-6 have been successfully prepared through a surfactant-free Suzuki coupling polymerization in a single-phase, which is different from the commonly employed heterogeneous polymerization technique. Especially, for SPOP-6, the SEM image shows that the polymer consists of relatively uniform monodisperse solid microspheres with particle sizes about 500 nm in diameter. The mechanism of microsphere formation is believed to occur by a two-step process involving particle nucleation and subsequent growth. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) specific surface area for these polymers ranges from 705 to 744 m² g^-1. Based on the gas (H<inf>2</inf> or CO<inf>2</inf>) physisorption isotherms, an increase in the gas loading capacity with increasing specific surface area is observed. Especially, hydrogen adsorption isotherms show that the adsorption capacity of SPOP-6 for hydrogen is 1.62 wt% at 1.0 bar and 77 K, which can be competitive with, even higher than lots of porous polymers with higher BET specific surface area under the same conditions. &copy; 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Box 211, Amsterdam, 1000 AE, NetherlandsAbstract:Activated sludge is a complex mixture of solid, colloidal and soluble components. Their respective contributions to membrane fouling process in membrane bioreactor (MBR) have been investigated by the fractioning method. The synergistic effects among these components on membrane fouling are neglected by using the method. A mathematical model was developed to simulate fouling that included the mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS), soluble and colloidal components, the activated sludge floc size distribution (FSD) and aeration intensity. The membrane fouling was divided into cake layer formation and pore fouling. The cake layer is assumed to be formatted by MLSS and consolidated by the entrapment of colloidal components, resulting in the decreasing in cake porosity and increasing in specific cake resistance. The addition of activated sludge FSD in the model development allows the probability and deposition rate of individual solid sizes to be considered. The developed model was calibrated and validated using experimental data from different aeration intensities. It provides a valuable tool for analyzing the synergistic fouling effects from solids, colloidal and soluble components within activated sludge. &copy; 2012 Elsevier B.V.Number of references:46Main heading:Membrane foulingControlled terms:Bioreactors - Mathematical models - Size distributionUncontrolled terms:Activated sludge - Activated sludge flocs - Aeration intensity - Cake formation

The visible emission of the ZnO QDs displays highly both excitation-dependent and size-dependent behaviors. The results indicate that the green emission should be attributed to the transition of electrons from the conduction band to a certain deep trap related mainly to defects on the surface, while the violet emission may correspond to the transition of electrons from the shallow donor levels to the valence band.

Abstract:Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) plays important roles in biomineralization, and the phosphoproteins extracted from biogenic stable ACC can induce and stabilize synthetic ACC in vitro. Here, mineralization of square-shaped ACC plates with micrometer-sized channels has been reported in the presence of the amphiphilic phosphoprotein casein. Casein can be assumed to take a key role during ACC plate formation, where it serves as an effective stabilization agent for ACC and assembles spherical ACC particles into ACC plates. The stabilizing effect of casein arises from the electrostatic attraction between phosphate groups as well as carbonate groups (especially the former) and the calcium ions, preventing the transformation from unstable ACC to the more stable crystalline phase of CaCO<inf>3</inf>. The assembling effect of casein mainly comes from the hydrophobic interaction between casein molecules bound on CaCO<inf>3</inf> particle surface. The inclusion of casein in ACC plates revealed by the thermogavimetric analysis confirms the proposed stabilizing and assembling mechanism. The ability to fabricate such novel hierarchical structured ACC holds the promise for creating more complex micro- and nanostructured materials by use of biological proteins with special structure. &copy; 2012 American Chemical Society.Number of references:48Main heading:CaseinControlled terms:Biomineralization - Calcium carbonate - ProteinsUncontrolled terms:Amorphous calcium carbonate - Amphiphilics - Biological proteins - Calcium ions - Carbonate group - Crystalline phase - Electrostatic attractions - Hydrophobic interactions - In-vitro - Micrometer-sized channels - Particle surface - Phosphate group - Special structure - Stabilizing effectsClassification code:461.9 Biology - 804 Chemical Products Generally - 804.1 Organic CompoundsDOI:10.1021/la300320rDatabase:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Through comparing non-dimensional governing equations of functionally graded material beams and the corresponding homogenous beams, linearly dependant relation between their bending solutions was found. When the law of variation of the elastic modulus in the lateral direction is specified, the bending solution of the FGM Timoshenko beams can be linearly expressed by that of homogenous beams with the same geometry, the same loadings and the same constraints. Consequently, solutions of the bending problem of a non-homogenous Timoshenko beam can be reduced to that of a homogenous one and the calculation of the transition parameters, which simplifies the solution procedure.Number of references:14Main heading:Particle beamsControlled terms:Bending (forming) - Functionally graded materialsUncontrolled terms:Analogous transformation - Bending problems - First-order shear deformation theory - Functionally graded - Functionally graded beams - Governing equations - Lateral directions - Material beams - Solution procedure - Static bending - Static solutions - Timoshenko beams - Transition parameterClassification code:415 Metals, Plastics, Wood and Other Structural Materials - 535.2 Metal Forming - 932.1 High Energy PhysicsDatabase:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

The unknown continuous functions of the system are estimated by fuzzy logic systems (FLS). A state conversion method is introduced to eliminate the delayed input item. By means of the backstepping algorithm, the property of semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded (SGUUB) of the closed-loop system is achieved. The stability of the closed-loop system is proved according to Lyapunov second theorem on stability. The tracking error is proved to be bounded which ultimately converges to an adequately small compact set. Finally, a computer simulation example of high order nonlinear systems is presented, which illustrates the effectiveness of the control scheme. &copy; 2012 Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.Number of references:26Main heading:BacksteppingControlled terms:Adaptive control systems - Closed loop control systems - Closed loop systems - Computer simulation - Fuzzy control - Fuzzy logic - Nonlinear systems - Theorem proving - Time delayUncontrolled terms:Adaptive Control - Backstepping algorithms - Compact sets - Continuous functions - Control schemes - Delayed input - Fuzzy logic system - Fuzzy-adaptive control - High-order nonlinear system - Input delays - Lyapunov - Semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded - State conversion - Tracking controls - Tracking errorsClassification code:713 Electronic Circuits - 721.1 Computer Theory, Includes Formal Logic, Automata Theory, Switching Theory, Programming Theory - 723.5 Computer Applications - 731 Automatic Control Principles and Applications - 731.1 Control Systems - 921 MathematicsDOI:10.1007/s11633-012-0633-5

Box 8718, Beijing, 100080, ChinaAbstract:This paper proposes a nonlinear classification algorithm S³C (supervised spectral space classifier), short for supervised spectral space classifier. S³C integrates the discriminative information into the construction of the low-dimensional supervised spectral space. The input training data is mapped into the supervised spectral space, followed by the optimization of the partitioning hyperplane with maximum margin. The test data is also transformed into the same feature space via an intermediate "bridge" between the original feature space and the target feature space. The classification result of S³C is obtained by applying the optimal partitioning hyperplane to the transformed test data, directly. S³C enables researchers to examine the transformed data in the supervised spectral space, which is beneficial to both algorithm evaluation and parameter selection. Moreover, the study presents a supervised spectral space transformation algorithm (S³T) on the basis of S³C. S³T (supervised spectral space transformation) estimates the class indicating matrix by projecting the data from the supervised spectral space to the class indicating space. S³T can directly deal with multi-class classification problems, and it is more robust on the data sets containing noise. Experimental results on both synthetic and real-world data sets demonstrate the superiority of S³C and S³T algorithms compared with other state-of-the-art classification algorithms. &copy; 2012 ISCAS.Number of references:24Main heading:PhotomappingControlled terms:Algorithms - Classification (of information) - Geometry - Linear transformations

Box 211, Amsterdam, 1000 AE, NetherlandsAbstract:The effect of noncollinearity between unidirectional and uniaxial anisotropies on asymmetric magnetization reversal of ferromagnet/antiferromagnet (FM/AFM) bilayer has been investigated. The results show the emergence of noncollinear anisotropies comes from the competition among applied magnetic field, magnetic anisotropy and exchange coupling in FM/AFM interface. The noncollinearity can lead to the asymmetry of hysteresis loop of FM/AFM bilayer. However, when the magnetic field is applied along the uniaxial anisotropy axis of FM layer, the hysteresis loop of FM/AFM bilayer is always symmetry independence of the noncollinear angle. Our results indicate that the asymmetry not only originates from the noncollinearity but also depends on the applied magnetic field orientation. Moreover, the asymmetry of hysteresis loop is always along with the appearance of unequivalence for

magnetization reversal of FM/AFM bilayer, and there is a periodicity of &pi; with orientation of applied field for its periodicity independence of the angle of the noncollinearity between the uniaxial and unidirectional anisotropies. The results can help us to open additional avenues to tailor the future advance magnetic device. &copy; 2011 Elsevier B.V.

Box 1130, Hefei, 230031, ChinaAbstract:Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) has following two deficiencies in performing classification task: CCA can not directly optimize them but their components, though combined features are the input of the classifier; CCA can not utilize any class information at all, though facing classification task. To overcome these deficiencies, a supervised dimension reduction method named combined-feature-discriminability enhanced canonical correlation analysis

(CECCA) is proposed. CECCA is developed through incorporating discriminant analysis of combined features into CCA. Consequently, it optimizes the combined feature correlation and discriminability simultaneously and thus makes the extracted features more suitable for classification. The experimental results on artificial dataset, multiple feature database and facial databases show that the proposed method is effective.Number of references:25Main heading:Partial dischargesControlled terms:Classification (of information) - Discriminant analysis - Information fusionUncontrolled terms:Canonical correlation analysis - Class information - Classification tasks - Combined features - Data sets - Dimension reduction - Dimension reduction method - Discriminability - Multiple featuresClassification code:701.1 Electricity: Basic Concepts and Phenomena - 903.1 Information Sources and AnalysisDatabase:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Based on the dynamic surface control (DSC) technique and using the quadratic Lyapunov function, the explosion of complexity in the traditional backstepping design is avoided when the gain signs are known. In

addition, the unknown virtual gain signs are dealt with using the Nussbaum functions. Using the mean value theorem and Young's inequality, only one learning parameter needs to be tuned online at each step of recursion. It is proved that the proposed design method is able to guarantee semi-global uniform ultimate boundedness (SGUUB) of all signals in the closed-loop system.

Wang, Tao Zhou, Empirical study on clique-degree distribution of networks, Phys. Rev. E 76 (2007) 037102], in this article we present an investigation on so-called k-cliques, which are defined as complete subgraphs of k (k&gt;1) nodes, in the cooperationcompetition networks described by bipartite graphs. In the networks, the nodes named actors are taking part in events, organizations or activities, named acts. We mainly examine a property of a k-clique called "k-clique act degree", q, defined as the number of acts, in which the k-clique takes part. Our analytic treatment on a cooperationcompetition network evolution model demonstrates that the distribution of k-clique act degrees obeys Mandelbrot distribution, P(q)&prop;( q+&alpha;)^-&gamma;. To validate the analytical model, we have further studied 13 different empirical

cooperationcompetition networks with the clique numbers k=2 and k=3. Empirical investigation results show an agreement with the analytic derivations. We propose a new "heterogeneity index", H, to describe the heterogeneous degree distributions of k-clique and heuristically derive the correlation between H and &alpha; and &gamma;. We argue that the cliques, which take part in the largest number of acts, are the most important subgraphs, which can provide a new criterion to distinguish important cliques in the real world networks. &copy; 2011 Elsevier B.V.

Box 211, Amsterdam, 1000 AE, NetherlandsAbstract:Graphene (RGO) can catalyze the electrochemical oxidative polymerization of pyrogallol in the acidic solution to form poly(pyrogallol) (PPG) that has oxygen-containing functional groups

in the polymer chain and a rapid charge transfer ability. Pt particles are deposited on the bare glassy carbon (GC), PPG/GC, and PPG/RGO/GC electrodes, respectively, at a constant potential of -0.20 V or -0.25 V (vs. SCE). The sizes of the Pt particles are affected by the electrodeposition potential of Pt and the kinds of the electrode material. Both PPG and graphene play an important role in improving Pt particle dispersion and suppressing the agglomeration of Pt particles. The electrocatalytic efficiency of the Pt electrodes toward methanol oxidation is affected by the amount of Pt deposited on the electrode, sizes of Pt particles and the kinds of the electrode material. Under the same electrodeposition potential and the same amount of Pt deposited on the electrode, the order of the electrocatalytic efficiency of the three kinds of the electrode is as follows: Pt/PPG/RGO/GC &gt; Pt/PPG/GC &gt; Pt/GC. On the basis of the I<inf>f</inf>/I<inf>b</inf> ratio on cyclic voltammograms, the catalyst tolerance to CO poisoning is improved by PPG and graphene at the initial stage of methanol oxidation. &copy; 2011 Elsevier B.V.

And the changes of thread form, surface residual stress, hardness and surface topography of head face caused by different hole-diameter are investigated. The results show that the accumulation body of the head face of the internal thread formed by cold extrusion is higher on both sides, in the middle of the depressed shape form low. With the decreased hole-diameter of the work, the stack height of the head face is increasing, and the accumulated level is also becoming serious. The hardness and the residual pressure stress at crest, flank and root of the thread are increased. For ensuring the quality of the thread and the tap life, the hole-diameter of the work should select maximum value as far as possible. But it is unnecessary to pursue the highest thread high rate, otherwise extrusion forming of internal thread is attended with much difficulty. The best range of hole-diameter of Q460 high-strength-steel work is between &Oslash;21.20 mm and &Oslash;21.30 mm, the thread high rate exceeds 80%, and it completely meets the requirement of the quality of the thread.Number of references:9Main heading:High strength steelControlled terms:Extrusion - Hardness - Residual stressesUncontrolled terms:Cold extrusion - Head face - High rate - Hole-diameter - Internal threads - Maximum values - Residual pressures - Surface residual stressClassification code:421 Strength of Building Materials; Mechanical Properties - 535.2.2 Metal Forming Practice - 545.3 SteelDatabase:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

The semi-arid irrigation and general irrigation regime were employed under 3000 thousand basic seedling per hectare with Lianjiajing 1 and wuxiangjing 14. The productivity was similar between the two types of irrigation regime. There was no remarkable difference on the yield components, leaf area index, photosynthesis potential, net assimilation rate, and dry matter at different stage, milling quality and appearance quality, the cooking quality and nutrition quality. But all these aspects in the semi-arid irrigation treatment had a trend of decrease. The rice under semi-arid irrigation regime was strong; their leaves color were light, and the N content of the stem and grain were lower than those of conventional irrigation regime. Semi-arid irrigation saved the amount of water by one third, compared with the general irrigation regime. On the basis of the research, semi-arid irrigation with appropriately improved seeding pattern under no-tillage after wheat could be one of approaches to gain high yield and excellent quality, but the best combination need to be confirmed through further experiments. &copy; 2012 Springer-Verlag GmbH.Number of references:18Main heading:IrrigationControlled terms:Agricultural engineering - Agricultural machinery - Image quality - Information technology - Seed - Thermal processing (foods)Uncontrolled terms:Assimilation rate - Cooking quality - Direct-seeding - Dry matters - High yield - Irrigation regimes - Irrigation treatments - Leaf Area Index - Milling quality - N content - No tillage - Nutrition quality - Semi arid - Water-saving irrigation - Yield - Yield componentsClassification code:741 Light, Optics and Optical Devices - 821 Agricultural Equipment and

The properties of the films were examed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The effects of deposition parameters on the growth rate of ZnO films have been investigated. The dependence of crystalline of the films

on the growth rate and O<inf>2</inf>/Ar flow rate during the deposition is analysed as well. The results show that the growth rate of the deposited films is mainly determined by RF power and the reactive gas pressure, the crystallinity of ZnO films is mainly determined by the growth rate of the films and O<inf>2</inf>/Ar flow rate during the deposition.

And the numerical simulation results of the flow pattern were verified by both transparent conduit model test and transparent pump system model test. The results of numerical computation and model test came to the conclusions as follows: 1) Flow pattern was uniform and smooth in the inlet conduit of the pump system, and the stream line layers were clear; 2) Flow in the outlet conduit diffused gently in the form of spiral motion, and there was no improper flow such as separation or vortex in the conduit; 3) The main reason of the excellent hydraulic performance of the pump system was due to the excellent internal characteristics. At the main operation points of the pump system, the pump system efficiency exceeded 83%, critical cavitation flow margin was lower than 5 m and the hydraulic performance of the pump system was excellent. The research results provide a beneficial reference for the hydraulic design of pumping stations with low head.Number of references:20Main heading:PumpsControlled terms:Computational fluid dynamics - Computer simulation - Flow patterns - Inlet flow - Pumping plants - Water piping systemsUncontrolled terms:3D turbulent - Cavitation flow - Conduit model - External characteristic - Hydraulic designs - Hydraulic performance - Inlet conduit - Internal characteristics - Low head - Model tests - Numerical computations - Operation point - Outlet conduit - Pattern analysis - Pump system - Pumping stations - Research results - Shaft tubular pump system - South-to-North water diversion project - Spiral motion - Stream lines - Z-directionsClassification code:446 Waterworks - 446.1 Water Supply Systems - 618.2 Pumps - 631.1 Fluid Flow, General - 723.5 Computer ApplicationsDOI:10.3969/j.issn.1002-6819.2012.06.009Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

The dependences of the energies and wave functions of electron states, exciton binding energy, exciton transition energy, and exciton diamagnetic shift on the applied magnetic field are investigated theoretically in detail. It is observed that the degeneracy of magnetic quantum number m is removed due to the Zeeman effect when the magnetic field is present. For the states with m 0, the electron energies increase as the magnetic field increases. However, for the states with m 0, the electron energies decrease to a minimum, and then increase with increasing the magnetic field. The energies and wave functions of electron states obtained from the variational method based on the variational functions we proposed are in excellent agreement with the results obtained from the exact diagonalization method we presented. A comparison between the results obtained from the variational functions proposed by us and Xiao is also verified. &copy; 2012 American Institute of Physics.Number of references:36Main heading:Magnetic fieldsControlled terms:Binding energy - Cadmium alloys - Cadmium compounds - Dissociation - Electronic structure - Excitons - Ordinary differential equations - Semiconductor quantum dots - Wave functionsUncontrolled terms:Applied magnetic fields - Cdse - Diagonalization method - Diamagnetic shifts - Effective mass approximation - Electron energies - Exact diagonalization method - Exciton transition energy - Exciton-binding energy - Magnetic quantum number - Spherical quantum dot - Variational functions - Variational methods - Zeeman effectClassification code:921.2 Calculus - 921 Mathematics - 804.1 Organic Compounds - 802.2 Chemical Reactions - 931 Classical Physics; Quantum Theory; Relativity - 801.4 Physical Chemistry - 711 Electromagnetic Waves - 701.2 Magnetism: Basic Concepts and Phenomena - 549.3 Nonferrous Metals and Alloys excluding Alkali and Alkaline Earth Metals - 714.2 Semiconductor Devices and Integrated CircuitsDOI:10.1063/1.3695454Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Box 211, Amsterdam, 1000 AE, NetherlandsAbstract:This study combined the mobile-immobile model (MIM) with an asymptotic dispersivity function of travel distance to embrace the concept of scale-dependent dispersion during solute transport in finite heterogeneous porous media. The proposed MIM with an asymptotic scale-dependent dispersivity (MIMA) was analytically solved by the Laplace transform technique and the extended power series method. The developed semi-analytical solution of MIMA was compared with the Laplace transformed finite-difference numerical solution, and they agreed well with each other. The applicability of MIMA was tested with concentration data from a 1250-cm long and highly heterogeneous soil column. The transport process was also simulated by the MIM

with a constant dispersivity (MIMC) for comparison. The simulation results of MIMC were found to depart significantly from the measured breakthrough curves (BTCs) in the column, whereas the fitting of MIMA with measured BTCs improved substantially as it considered that the increase of dispersivity with distance was limited. Our results indicated that MIMA was efficient to capture the evolution of scale-dependent dispersion behavior, and it was more useful for describing anomalous solute transport in heterogeneous porous media. We also generally evaluated the advantages and limitations of MIMA with respect to other up-scaling models for describing solute transport in heterogeneous media, and indicated several issues deserving further investigation for MIMA. &copy; 2012 Elsevier B.V.Number of references:71Main heading:DispersionsControlled terms:Curve fitting - Laplace transforms - Porous materials - Solute transportUncontrolled terms:Break through curve - Concentration data - Dispersion behavior - Dispersion function - Dispersivity - Finite difference - Heterogeneous media - Heterogeneous porous media - Heterogeneous soils - Laplace transform techniques - Mobile-immobile models - Model application - Numerical solution - Power series method - Semi-analytical solution - Transport process - Travel distance - UpscalingClassification code:921 Mathematics - 931 Classical Physics; Quantum Theory; Relativity - 951 Materials ScienceDOI:10.1016/j.jhydrol.2011.12.041Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Box 3337, Columbus, OH 43210-3337, United StatesAbstract:Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) can convert organic compounds directly into electricity by catalytic oxidation, and although MFCs have attracted considerable interest, there is little information on the electricity-generating potential of artificial bacterial biofilms. We have used acetate-fed MFCs inoculated with sediment, with two-chamber bottles and carbon cloth electrodes to deliver a maximum power output of &sim;175 mW&bullm^-2 and a stable power output of &sim;105 mW&bullm^-2. Power production was by direct transfer of electrons to the anode from bacterial consortia growing on the anode, as confirmed by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Twenty different species (74 strains) of bacteria were isolated from the consortium under anaerobic conditions and cultured in the laboratory, of which 34% were found to be exoelectrogens in single-species studies. Exoelectrogenesis by members of the genera Vibrio, Enterobacter, and Citrobacter and by Bacillus stratosphericus was confirmed, by use of culture-based methods, for the first time. An MFC with a natural bacterial consortium showed higher power densities than those obtained with single strains. In addition, the maximum power output could be further increased to &sim;200 mW&bullm^-2 when an artificial consortium consisting of the best 25 exoelectrogenic isolates was used, demonstrating the potential for increased performance and underlying the importance of artificial biofilms for increasing power output. &copy; 2012 American Chemical Society.Number of references:47Main heading:BiofilmsControlled terms:Anoxic sediments - Bacteria - Bacteriology - Catalytic oxidation - Cyclic voltammetry - Scanning electron microscopy - Thermoelectric powerUncontrolled terms:Anaerobic conditions - Bacterial biofilm - Bacterial consortium - Carbon-cloth electrodes - Culture-based methods - Direct transfer - Electricity production - Enterobacter - Maximum power output - Power densities - Power out put - Power production - Scanning electron microscopies (SEM)Classification code:803 Chemical Agents and Basic Industrial Chemicals - 741.1 Light/Optics - 701.1 Electricity: Basic Concepts and Phenomena - 942.2 Electric Variables Measurements - 483 Soil Mechanics and Foundations - 461.9 Biology - 454 Environmental Engineering - 462.5 Biomaterials (including synthetics)DOI:10.1021/es2020007Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Through optimal hydraulic design of pumping system it is possible to generate better flow conditions for pump, to reduce hydraulic losses both in suction box and discharge passage and improve pumping system efficiency. Guiding principles and evaluation indexes for optimal hydraulic design of pumping system was proposed, and a case study was given to illustrate the effect of optimal design on the pumping system performances.

Computed results indicate that with the given water level data and within the limitations of civil construction dimensions, the flow conditions of pump in terms of bias angle and distribution uniformity of axial velocity are effectively improved through optimal design, and hydraulic losses of suction box and discharge passage are decreased by 0.115m and the pumping system efficiency are improved by 2.02%.

According to the numerical analysis of the internal flow, the hydraulic characteristics of the volute-type discharge passage and the velocity distribution features in several key cross sections were analyzed and quantitatively calculated in terms of velocity distribution uniformity and bias angle. The computed results show that the internal flow field is very complicated involving flow separation and vortex in some regions and the velocity distribution is uneven. The uniformity curves of axial velocities in the outlet cross-section of the volute and the outlet cross-section of the passage are protruding ones while the bias angle curves in the same cross-sections are concave ones, both of them reaching their maximum or minimum value respectively at the flow rate corresponding to the best efficiency point of the pumping system. The hydraulic loss of the volute-type discharge passage varies with the discharge and reaches its minimum when the pumping system efficiency approaches its highest. When the pumping system operates under off-design condition on the large flow rate side, the hydraulic loss of the passage tends to increase rapidly causing the pumping system efficiency to drop sharply. Therefore, appropriate regulation methods should be adopted to adjust the pump operating condition to ensure the pumping system working within high efficiency zone. &copy; 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd.Number of references:5Main heading:Pumping plantsControlled terms:Buoyancy - Computational fluid dynamics - Efficiency - Hydraulic structures - Hydraulics - Navier Stokes equations - Numerical analysis - Shore protection - Turbulence models - Velocity distributionUncontrolled terms:Angle curves - Axial velocity - Best efficiency point - Cross section - Distribution uniformity - Hydraulic characteristic - Hydraulic characteristics - Hydraulic loss - Internal flow field - Internal flow patterns - Internal flows - Large flow rate - Minimum value - Off design condition - Operating condition - Pumping system - Pumping systems - Time-averaged - Volut-type discharge passgaeClassification code:943.2 Mechanical Variables Measurements - 921.6 Numerical Methods - 921.2 Calculus - 913.1 Production Engineering - 632.1 Hydraulics - 631.1 Fluid Flow, General - 631 Fluid Flow - 611 Hydroelectric and Tidal Power Plants - 446 Waterworks - 441 Dams and Reservoirs; Hydro Development - 407.1 Maritime StructuresDOI:10.1016/j.proeng.2012.01.678Database:Compendex

The solutions for the case of anisotropy are more convenient for treating an arbitrary dislocation loop compared with traditional area integration. With this new formulation, we numerically examine the displacement, stress, and energy due to the interaction between a dislocation loop and the bimaterial interface in an AlCu system. The interactive image energy due to the elastic moduli mismatch across the interface is then numerically evaluated. The result shows that a dislocation loop is subjected to an attractive force by the interface when it lies in the stiff material, and a repulsive force when it lies in the soft material. Moreover, the dependence of the interactive image energy of a dislocation loop on the position and size of the dislocation loop are also demonstrated and discussed. Significantly, it is found that the interactive image energy for a dislocation loop depends only on the ratio d/a, where a is the loop diameter and d is its distance to the interface. The examples studied provide benchmark solutions for anisotropic bimaterial dislocation problems.Number of references:45Main heading:Interfaces (materials)Controlled terms:Anisotropy - Elastic moduli - Three dimensionalUncontrolled terms:Anisotropic bimaterial - Attractive force - Bi-material interfaces - Bimaterials - Dislocation loop - Dislocation problems - Elastic displacements - Elastic fields - Image energy - Line integrals - Repulsive forces - Semi-analytical - Simple lines - Soft material - Stress field

Typical hysteresis loops and spin configurations are given. It shows that shape of hysteresis loop and magnitude of coercive force are determined by a competition between boundary pinning effect and uniaxial anisotropic field, which leads to different coercivity mechanism under different &theta;.

First, the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model is established to represent the NSHV non-linear dynamics, and sliding mode observers (SMO) are designed to generate a bank of residuals. Then, a novel sensor fault model is proposed, which contains time-varying bias faults and time-varying gain faults. Further, based on the Lyapunov stability theory, novel fault diagnostic algorithms are given to estimate the sensor fault, which removes the two classical assumptions in existing works that the time derivative of the output errors should be known and that the system states should be bounded. In addition, a sufficient condition for the existence of SMO is derived in the sense of the Lyapunov stability theory, which can be easily solved by Matlab&laquo; LMI toolbox. Finally, simulation results are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach. &copy; IMechE 2012.Number of references:32Main heading:SensorsControlled terms:Estimation - Hypersonic aerodynamics - Hypersonic vehicles - MATLAB - Sliding mode controlUncontrolled terms:Fault diagnostics - LMI toolboxes - Lyapunov stability theory - Non-linear

Ensuring that samples won't be beared by the external disturbances such as force and temperature is the necessary condition of acquiring real morphostructure. The flatness of sample's surface is the precondition and foundation of collecting microscopic images effectively. Rationing and figuration are effective ways to guarantee the good reproducibility morphostructure of modified asphalt. Finally, samples' preparation requirements that may guarantee the microstructure of modified asphalt better reproducibility and better stability were put forward.Number of references:11Main heading:AsphaltControlled terms:Fluorescence microscopy - Sampling

Normal micelles formed by anionic surfactant, sodium bis-2-ethylhexyl-sulfosuccinate (aerosol OT, AOT), was used as a template to direct the growth of CaCO<inf>3</inf> crystals in the present work. When the concentration of the AOT increased from 0.5 to 5.0 mM, the polymorph of CaCO<inf>3</inf> crystals changed from almost pure aragonite to almost pure vaterite at 150 &deg;C. In the meantime, various morphologies of vaterite were obtained, such as astral and hexagonal structures. Based on the time-resolved experiments, we suggested that AOT micelles induced the formation of these structures. And the micelles were wrapped in the hexagonal structures, and dissolved in the aqueous solution with increase of the experimental time. Thus, hollow shells were produced. Abnormal polymorph transformation of CaCO <inf>3</inf> crystals from the calcite to the vaterite was found. These effects of AOT on polymorph and morphology of CaCO<inf>3</inf> crystals have not been reported as far as we know. &copy; 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

The results show that the number and the width of the cracks formed along the elongated fibrous structure of the surface layer in the internal thread after heat treatment were all reduced, and the intensity of fiber streamline is increased and the grains are refined. Microhardness at crest, flank and root of the cold-extruded internal thread after heat treatment is improved evidently with slight decrease of the depth of hardened layer. The gradient of the microhardness curve in the hardened layer is decreased and its tensile strength is also improved evidently for the cold-extruded internal thread after heat treatment. The sustained maximum pulling force of the internal thread after heat treatment reaches to 202.68 kN, and increasing 9.24% compared with that before treatment.

Conference location:Honolulu, HI, United statesConference code:88565Publisher:CRC Press, NetherlandsAbstract:The essential features with high order DDA approaches exist in the fact that coefficients of complete polynomials are unknowns with which its governing equations are established on the rules of classical mechanics and that the simplex integration gives an analytical solutions of polynomial bases over volume of blocks. Based on high order polynomial displacement function in DDA and the Weierstrass theory for polynomial approximation, this paper presents a method approximating the continuous displacement function in continuous elastic media with complete and high order polynomials. Following contents are included which consist of complete and high order polynomial function and its strain matrix derivative in three dimensions, establishment for simultaneous equations for one block and block system where connecting faces are employed as to divide complex structure into blocks with simple shape, simplex integration introduction especially the recursive simplex integration formula, contacts and iteration solution of equilibrium equations of block system etc. At last, a case validation with a cantilever under bending is carried out. It has been primarily shown that case study gives a convergent solution and the idea with complete and high order polynomial approximation to continuous elastic mechanics analysis is acceptable. In other words, the DDA method may supply us another way to solve continuous elastic mechanics analysis with sufficient precision by obtaining a complete and high order polynomial displacement function as its displacement approximations. &copy; 2012 Taylor &amp; Francis Group, London.Number of references:12Main heading:Integral equationsControlled terms:Geomechanics - Integration - Numerical methods - Polynomial approximationUncontrolled terms:Analytical solutions - Classical mechanics - Complex structure - Convergent solutions - Displacement function - Elastic mechanics - Elastic media - Equilibrium equation - Governing equations - High order - High order polynomial - Polynomial basis - Simultaneous equations - Strain matrix - Three dimensionsClassification code:481 Geology and Geophysics - 921.2 Calculus - 921.6 Numerical MethodsDatabase:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Based on the dynamic cavity-expansion penetration model, the equations of the final penetration depth were determined including the effect of additional mass and sliding frictional coefficient. The predicted final Penetration depth was compared with the depth of penetration data and a good agreement was achieved. The analysis indicated the additional mass was negligible compared to the mass of the projectile and independent of the striking velocity. When the friction between the concrete and the nose surface is assumed to be negligible, the final penetration depth increases slightly.

First, this method can reduce the disturbance of noise and get the segmentation numbers more accurately. Second, it needn't to change the RGB color space to other space.

Few previous studies discussed the soil water dynamics below the crop root zone and its impact on crop water consumption. In this study, field experiments of winter wheat-summer corn rotation under deficit irrigation were conducted at the typical farmland in Beijing. The process of crop water requirements and water conversion under deficit irrigation were simulated by the SWAP model after calibration and validation. Furthermore, the optimal deficit irrigation modes under the condition of different hydrological years were obtained based on this model. The results indicated that deficit irrigation made crop consumed large amount of soil water. When precipitation and irrigation were small, the soil water consumption could be accounted for 46.1% of crop water consumption. There was obvious soil water exchange between root zone and storage zone with the range of soil water flux from -2.67 to 0.45 mm/d. However, the water flux at the lower boundary

of storage zone was small and changed a little. The percolation of the root zone always occurred after irrigation or larger precipitation, and soil water was supplemented from the storage zone upward into the root zone at the critical period of crop water requirement. Compared with conventional irrigation, the optimal irrigation modes could save irrigation water of 375 mm, 225 mm and 225 mm, and the amount of drainage reduced up to 89%, 17% and 2% in the hydrologic years of 75%, 50% and 25%, respectively.Number of references:22Main heading:Water managementControlled terms:Computer simulation - Crops - Irrigation - Models - Optimization - Percolation (solid state) - Plants (botany) - Rotation - Soil moisture - Solvents - Water supplyUncontrolled terms:Critical periods - Crop roots - Crop water consumption - Crop water requirements - Deficit irrigation - Field experiment - Hydrological years - Irrigation waters - Lower boundary - Root zone - Simulation studies - Soil water - Soil water dynamics - Soil water fluxes - Storage zones - SWAP model - Water flux - Water transformation - Water transformationsClassification code:933 Solid State Physics - 921.5 Optimization Techniques - 902.1 Engineering Graphics - 821.4 Agricultural Products - 821.3 Agricultural Methods - 803 Chemical Agents and Basic Industrial Chemicals - 723.5 Computer Applications - 601.1 Mechanical Devices - 483.1 Soils and Soil Mechanics - 461.9 Biology - 446.1 Water Supply Systems - 446 Waterworks - 444 Water ResourcesDOI:10.3969/j.issn.1002-6819.2012.04.010Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Box 211, Amsterdam, 1000 AE, NetherlandsAbstract:Streamflow model including rainfall-runoff and river flow models play an important role in water resources management, especially in arid inland area. Traditional conceptual models have the disadvantage of requirement of spatial variation parameters about the physical characteristics of the catchments. To overcome this difficulty, in this study, several integrated Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) were presented to estimate monthly river flow, and the models include the semi-distributed forms of ANNs that can explore spatial variation in hydrological process (such as rainfall distribution and evaporation distribution) and no requirement of physical characteristic parameters of the catchments. In an arid inland basin of Northwest, integrated ANNs were developed using hydrological and agricultural data, and its performance was compared with that of lumped ANN and local linear regression model (LLR). Results showed that the integrated ANNs perform well to estimate the monthly streamflow at outlet of mountain with Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 0.36&times;10⁷m³ and Relative Error (RE) of 9%. Similarly, the integrated ANNs can also accurately estimate the monthly river flow downstream of the basin with RMSE of 0.35-0.38&times;10⁷m³ and RE of 22-27%. When compared with integrated ANNs, the lumped ANN and LLR models have lower precision to simulate monthly streamflow in arid inland basin. Presented integrated ANN models retain the advantages of the semi-distributed models considering the heterogeneity and spatial variation of hydrological factors and the physical characteristics in the catchment, while taking advantage of the potential of ANNs as an effective tool in nonlinear mapping or functional relationship establishment. In contrast to traditional models either in the lumped ANN or in empirical regression forms, the new approach of integration of Artificial Neural Networks has shown great potential in streamflow modeling. &copy; 2011 Elsevier B.V.Number of references:37Main heading:Neural networksControlled terms:Catchments - Computer simulation - Estimation - Integration - Linear regression - Lunar surface analysis - Mean square error - Models - Rain - Rivers - Runoff - Spatial distribution - Stream flow - Water resourcesUncontrolled terms:Artificial Neural Network - Conceptual model - Effective tool - Functional relationship - Hydrological factors - Hydrological process - Local linear regression - Lower precision - Nonlinear mappings - NorthWest China - Physical characteristics - Rainfall distribution - Rainfall runoff - Relative errors - River flow - River flow models - Root mean square errors - Semi-distributed model - Simulation - Spatial variations - Streamflow modeling - Streamflow models - Water resources managementClassification code:922.2 Mathematical Statistics - 921.2 Calculus - 921 Mathematics - 902.1 Engineering Graphics - 801 Chemistry - 723.5 Computer Applications - 723.4 Artificial Intelligence - 631.1 Fluid Flow, General - 444.1 Surface Water - 444 Water Resources - 443.3 PrecipitationDOI:10.1016/j.jhydrol.2011.11.054Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Web services composition is one of the most popular topics in service computing area. In this paper a method based on Petri net coverability problem and utility of Web services is proposed to handle automatic service composition. The former is for satisfying functional requirements of service composition while the latter corresponds to non-functional properties. For a set of given services, each service is translated into component of Petri net and the input/output places with same semantics are merged. According to user's input and desired output, the initial marking and target marking can be obtained. Then the coverability tree and coverability graph can be constructed. Next, the nodes on the coverability graph which can cover the target marking should be find out. If there are more than one coverability paths, we determine the smallest weight denoted as "SW" on each path. The weight is defined as the utility calculated according to the QoS. At last, services on the path with largest SW are selected as service executing sequence to reach the goal of automatic service composition. &copy; 2012 ACADEMY PUBLISHER.Number of references:20Main heading:Web servicesControlled terms:Petri nets - Quality of service - Semantics - Trees (mathematics)Uncontrolled terms:Automatic composition - Automatic service composition - Coverability - Coverability graphs - Coverability problem - Executing sequence - Functional requirement - If there are - Initial marking - Input/output - Non functional properties - Platform independent - Service compositions - Service computing - Web service composition - Web services compositionClassification code:716 Telecommunication; Radar, Radio and Television - 717 Optical Communication - 718 Telephone Systems and Related Technologies; Line Communications - 723 Computer Software, Data Handling and Applications - 903.2 Information Dissemination - 921.4 Combinatorial Mathematics, Includes Graph Theory, Set TheoryDOI:10.4304/jsw.7.1.149-155Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Box 3337, Columbus, OH 43210-3337, United StatesAbstract:Biodegradable poly(butylene succinate)/polylactide (PBS/PLA) blends with various blending ratios were prepared by melt mixing for morphological and rheological studies. Dynamic rheological measurements were performed on the blend systems and the viscoelastic responses were analyzed with several emulsion models. The results show that the PBS/PLA is an immiscible blend system with very narrow cocontinuous region and high percolation threshold. The phase inversion point could be precisely predicted by the small-amplitude oscillatory shear (SAOS) response. The Palierne model gave a better description of the viscoelastic response of PBS/PLA blends than that of the Gramespacher and Meissner (G-M) model. In addition, the interfacial tension between the two polymers was measured by several techniques, such as surface property characterizations, deformed drop retraction, and rheological approaches. The differences observed by these various methodologies were then further explored. Moreover, the melting and crystallization behaviors of the blends were also studied in order to reach a deeper insight into the relations between the phase behavior and the macroscopic thermal properties of the PBS/PLA blends. &copy; 2012 American Chemical Society.Number of references:62Main heading:Butenes

However, there are few reports of the molecular basis of the mechanism on immune induction and potential antitumor activity of bursal-derived peptides. In this paper, a novel bursalderived pentapeptide-II (BPP-II, MTLTG) was isolated and exerted

immunomodulatory functions on antibody responses in vitro. Gene microarray analyses demonstrated that BPP-II regulated expression of 2478 genes in a mouse-derived hybridoma cell line. Immune-related gene ontology functional procedures were employed for further functional analysis. Furthermore, the majority of BPP-II-regulated pathways were associated with immune responses and tumor processes. Moreover, BPP-II exhibited immunomodulatory effects on antigen-specific immune responses in vivo, including enhancement of avian influenza virus (H9N2 subtype)-specific antibody and cytokine production and modification of T cell immunophenotypes and lymphocyte proliferation. Finally, BPP-II triggered p53 expression and stabilization and selectively inhibited tumor cell proliferation. These data identified the multifunctional factor, BPP-II, as a novel biomaterial representing an important linking between the humoral central immune system and immune induction, including antitumor. Information generated in this study elucidates further the mechanisms involved in humoral immune system and represents the potential basis of effective immunotherapeutic strategies for treating human tumors and immune improvement. &copy; 2012 by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.Number of references:55Main heading:ImmunologyControlled terms:Antibodies - Biological materials - Cell culture - Cell proliferation - Gene expression - Tumors - VirusesUncontrolled terms:Anti-tumor activities - Anti-tumors - Antibody response - Avian influenza - Cytokine production - Gene microarrays - Gene ontology - Human tumors - Hybridoma cells - Immune organs - Immune response - Immune systems - Immunomodulatory effects - Immunophenotypes - In-vitro - In-vivo - Lymphocyte proliferation - Molecular basis - T cellsClassification code:461 Bioengineering and BiologyDOI:10.1074/jbc.M111.273854Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Box 3337, Columbus, OH 43210-3337, United StatesAbstract:The antioxidant activities and free radical scavenging capacities of (+)-catechin, pyrogallol, and red wine are investigated using the electrochemical method and electron spin resonance (ESR) technique. Poly(aniline-co-o-aminophenol) (PAoA) is used as a source of the free radical. On the basis of the electrochemical measurements, among the samples used, the antioxidant activity is the strongest for pyrogallol and is weakest for red wine. However, the ESR measurements reveal the fact that (+)-catechin can effectively scavenge the free radical of PAoA; however, pyrogallol not only cannot scavenge the free radical but also makes the ESR signal intensity of PAoA pronouncedly increase. This result is just contrary to the previous reports based on the determination of the scavenging free radical of DPPH using the UV-visible spectral method, in which the maximum absorbance is related only to the reducing power of an antioxidant. This difference is due to the formation of the new free radical during the oxidation process of pyrogallol. It is found that the red wine used can scavenge the free radical, but its scavenging capacity is lower than that of (+)-catechin. &copy; 2012 American Chemical Society.Number of references:27Main heading:Electron spin resonance spectroscopyControlled terms:Electrospinning - Free radicals - Magnetic moments - Organic compounds - Phenols - Spectroscopic analysis - Spectroscopy - Spin dynamics - WineUncontrolled terms:Antioxidant activities - Electrochemical measurements - ELectrochemical methods - Free radical scavenging capacity - Maximum absorbance - Oxidation process - Poly(aniline-co-o-aminophenol) - Radical scavenging - Red wine - Reducing power - Scavenging capacity - Signal intensities - Spectral methods - Spectroscopic studies - UV-visibleClassification code:822.3 Food Products - 819.3 Fiber Chemistry and Processing - 804.1 Organic Compounds - 804 Chemical Products Generally - 801.4 Physical Chemistry - 801 Chemistry - 701.2 Magnetism: Basic Concepts and PhenomenaDOI:10.1021/jp211073aDatabase:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Structure, morphology and properties of the composite were characterized by various instruments. XRD analysis shows that the output of PANI increases with the increase of the content of MWCNTs, due to the large surface area of MWCNTs. Because of the coating of PANI, the outer diameter of MWCNTs increases from 10 nm to 20-40 nm. The electrical conductivity of the composites increases with the amount increase of MWCNTs and reaches 7.2196 S/cm in the presence of 2 g MWCNTs. The coercive force of the composites prepared with 2 g MWCNTs is 7457.17 Oe, which is much bigger than that of SrFe <inf>12</inf>O<inf>19</inf> particles 6145.6 Oe, however, both the saturation magnetization and the remanent magnetization of the composite become much smaller than those of SrFe<inf>12</inf>O<inf>19</inf> particles.

In this work, numerical and experimental methods were used to study this flow for safe, stable and efficient operation, and the conclusions were summarized as follow. (1) The flow pattern is determined by operating condition. (2) Under normal condition, the flow direction is basically along the axial direction of the inlet and no pre-swirl flow exists. (3) Under low flow rate, a pre-swirl flow in the impeller rotating direction appears in the outer ring region of the inlet section, while the inner ring flow keeps in the axial direction toward the impeller. The flow in the middle ring switches between the two regimes, pre-swirl flow and axial flow. (4) This pre-swirl of low flow rate is an indicator of

special internal features caused by a second backflow inside the pump. These features and the second backflow are often indicated by a saddle shape on the performance curve. &copy; Right.Number of references:17Main heading:Inlet flowControlled terms:Axial flow - Computer simulation - Flow patterns - Flow rate - Hydraulic machinery - Impellers - Numerical methods - PumpsUncontrolled terms:Axial direction - Axial flow pump - Backflow - Experimental methods - Flow direction - Inlet of impeller chamber - Inner rings - Internal features - Normal condition - Operating condition - Performance curve - Pre-swirl - Pumping stations - Rotating direction - Scale model tests - Two-regimeClassification code:921.6 Numerical Methods - 723.5 Computer Applications - 632.2 Hydraulic Equipment and Machinery - 631.1 Fluid Flow, General - 631 Fluid Flow - 618.2 Pumps - 601.2 Machine ComponentsDatabase:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

In this article, two water-soluble CTV derivatives (CTV-G and CTV-L) functionalized by glucose and lactose residues were synthesized, respectively. Unexpectedly, sugar-bearing CTVs exhibit a distinct photoluminescence, which might be ascribed to the enhanced planar conformation of cyclotriveratrylene ring derived from the spatial effect of bulky branch groups. The interaction between the water-soluble CTV derivatives and C<inf>60</inf> was investigated in organic solvent and aqueous solution, which was further characterized by fluorescence spectra, ultraviolet-visible spectra, and Raman spectra. CTV-G can associate with C<inf>60</inf> to form supramolecular complex with 1:1 molar ratio (K<inf>a</inf> = 1.38 &times; 10⁵ M^-1, 298 K).

Fluorescence and UV-vis spectra of complex mixtures of individual BSA and the binary complexes with BSA resulted in significantly overlapping spectral profiles. Quantitative information about the various complex ligand-protein species formed was obtained with the resolution of the spectral two-way data matrices by MCR-ALS method. Individual spectra of the BSA, their binary complexes with BSA were extracted, and quantitative concentration profiles for each species in a particular interaction were constructed. Such analyses made it possible to interpret the role and behaviour of each reaction component.

We hypothesis that each source is characterized by a linear superposition of Gaussian peaks of fixed spread. Multivariate curve resolution-alternating least squares (MCR-ALS) is a Conventional MCR method. MCR-ALS has some disadvantages. We proposed a solver with L1 regularizer and L2 regularizer to obtain a sparse solution within MCR-ALS. L1-norm involves a sparse but non-smooth solution, L2-norm will keep all the information and bring the smoothness, but it will lead non-sparse solutions. So we combined the L1-norm and the squared L2-norm to seek the optimal solutions. This is accomplished via Elastic Net Regularization algorithem which is LARS (least-angle regression). We named this method MCR-LARS. This paper applies MCR-LARS to resolve the hard overlapped spectroscopic signals belonging to the three aromatic amino acids (phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan) in their mixtures. MCR-LARS was compared with MCR-ALS. The results show the effectiveness and efficiency of MCR-LARS and the results show that MCR-LARS provides more nicely resolved concentration profiles and spectra than pure MCR-ALS solution. &copy; 2012 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.Number of references:25Main heading:Least squares approximationsControlled terms:Amino acids - Cybernetics - Information scienceUncontrolled terms:Elastic net - L1 norm - L2-norm - MCR - MCR-ALS - MCR-LARSClassification code:461 Bioengineering and Biology - 461.9 Biology - 903 Information Science - 921.6 Numerical MethodsDOI:10.1007/978-94-007-1839-5_160Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Many advanced active control schemes have been reported for the multi-modal of piezoelectric structure. However, these control schemes, including the multi-loop PID method usually cannot achieve satisfying performance in the presence of strong external disturbances and coupling effects. To this end, an amended disturbance observer (DOB) based on multi-loop PID scheme is developed to control a two-mode piezoelectric panel. The system considered here is with lumped disturbances including external disturbances, such as the variations of the output of the modal and the external excitation, and internal disturbances, such as coupling effects. The proposed control approach consists of two compound controllers, and each controller includes a PID feedback part and a feed-forward compensation part based on DOB for disturbances. In order to obtain a better vibration suppressing performance, a chaos optimisation method based on Logistic map and a new transient performance function is designed to tune the parameters of PID controller. A rigorous analysis is also given to show why the DOB can effectively suppress the variations. At last, in order to verify the proposed algorithm, the dSPACE real-time simulation platform is used and an experimental platform for the all-clamped stiffened panel structure active vibration control is set up. The simulation and experiment results demonstrate that the proposed method has a much better vibration suppressing property with almost the same input voltage than the multi-loop PID method in the piezoelectric panel. &copy; 2011 The Institution of Engineering and Technology.Number of references:35Main heading:ControllersControlled terms:Algorithms - Piezoelectricity - Three term control systems - Transients - Vibration controlUncontrolled terms:Active control schemes - Active vibration controls - Control approach - Control schemes - Coupling effect - D-space - Disturbance observer - Experimental platform - External disturbances - External excitation - Feed-forward compensation - Input voltages - Logistic maps - Multi variables - Multi-modal - Optimisation method - PID controllers - PID feedback - PID method - Piezoelectric structures - Real time simulations - Rigorous analysis - Stiffened panel structures - Transient performance - Vibration suppressingClassification code:701.1 Electricity: Basic Concepts and Phenomena - 723 Computer Software, Data Handling and Applications - 731.1 Control Systems - 731.3 Specific Variables Control -

As living beings evolving for many years, it is difficulty that kinematics features of organisms can completely be realized by man-made mechanisms. In order to overcome the disadvantages of low stiffness and weak function of hind limbs, which widely exist in biomimetic robot, robot dog is studied as an example to propose the rule of importance/weight so as to simplify movement joints. In other words, by considering the base behavioral characteristics and the physical construction of each joint, main functions are put in order according their importance so that each movement joint can be easily designed with mechanical structure. Based on the work mentioned above, 24-DOF robot dog is designed by using 2-DOF parallel rotation machines (RGRR-I and RGRR-II), as well as 1-DOF joint structure. It has many advantages such as simple structure, easy manufacture, high stiffness, convenient control, agile movement, etc. This method may be useful to design other kinds of biomimetic robot. &copy;2012 Journal of Mechanical Engineering.Number of references:11Main heading:Machine designControlled terms:Biomimetics - Design - Joints (anatomy) - Mechanisms - Robots - Rotation - StiffnessUncontrolled terms:Agile movement - Behavioral characteristics - Bio-mimetic robot - Degree of freedom - High stiffness - Hind limbs - Joint structure - Mechanical structures - Parallel

It is possible that leaf nitrogen concentration (LNC) was quickly and non-destructively estimated by remote sensing method. The objective of this experiment was to develop a sensitive spectral index for monitoring LNC in wheat based on HJ-CCD data. In this study, we assessed several common spectral indices based on stepwise regression methods with the determination coefficient (R²) and root mean square error (RMSE). The results indicated that compared to other spectral index, the spectral index of 1.65SIPI-1.35PSRI was the most positively related to LNC (R² = 0.6328, p&lt;0.01), and the model for monitoring LNC based on

1.65SIPI-1.35PSRI was with the RMSE of 0.685 g.m^-2 (p&lt;0.01), and was significantly better than the models adopting other spectral indices. In conclusion, this study confirmed the feasibility of utilizing 1.65SIPI-1.35PSRI derived from airborne remotely sensed data to monitor LNC in wheat. &copy; (2012) Trans Tech Publications.Number of references:19Main heading:Optical waveguidesControlled terms:Agriculture - Manufacture - Mean square error - Regression analysis - Remote sensingUncontrolled terms:HJ-CCD - Leaf nitrogen - Spectral parameters - Stepwise regression method - WheatClassification code:537.1 Heat Treatment Processes - 717.2 Optical Communication Equipment - 731.1 Control Systems - 821 Agricultural Equipment and Methods; Vegetation and Pest Control - 922.2 Mathematical StatisticsDOI:10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMR.468-471.1521Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

The quantum wire is assumed to GaAs material surrounded by the infinite potential barrier. The results show that the external electric field removes the degeneracy of the electron or hole states. The energy levels of electron and hole, exciton binding energy, excitonic absorption coefficient

and absorption energy decrease with increasing the strength of the electric field or the wire radius. The effects of the electric field become more significant for wide wires. The phenomena can be explained by the reduced spatial overlap of ground electron and hole states. &copy; 2012 EDP Sciences, SIF, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.Number of references:33Main heading:Engineering exhibitionsControlled terms:Binding energy - Electric fields - Electromagnetic wave absorption - Electronic structure - Excitons - Nanowires - Semiconductor quantum wires - WireUncontrolled terms:Absorption energies - Exciton state - Exciton-binding energy - Excitonic absorption - External electric field - GaAs - Hole state - Mesoscopic and nanoscale systems - Potential barriers - Spatial overlap - Transverse electric fieldClassification code:933 Solid State Physics - 931.3 Atomic and Molecular Physics - 901.2 Education - 801.4 Physical Chemistry - 933.1.1 Crystal Lattice - 761 Nanotechnology - 711 Electromagnetic Waves - 701.1 Electricity: Basic Concepts and Phenomena - 535.2 Metal Forming - 714.2 Semiconductor Devices and Integrated CircuitsDOI:10.1140/epjb/e2011-20656-1Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

In this study, the block effect due to soil variability is defined and a Radial Basis Function (RBF) artificial neural network (ANN) with Block Effect (BE) is proposed to improve the accuracy of spatial interpolation of soil

moisture and nutrients. The new RBFANNBE method is evaluated using soil moistures and organic matters observed from an experimental site in the north Yangzhou region of Jiangsu Province. Two sets of data samples are used in the RBFANNBE training process. The RBFANNBE performance is compared to the conventional RBFANN method and the ordinary Kriging (OK) method using the mean square errors (M<inf>se</inf>) and the goodness of prediction fit (G). The results show that RBFANNBE reduce M<inf>se</inf> by 19.0%-62.2% and improve G by 8.9%-28.8% compared to the OK method. In comparison with RBFANN, a 10.0%-48.8% reduction in M<inf>se</inf> and a 3.4%-22.0% improvement in G are obtained by RBFANNBE, respectively. The new RBFANNBE method has better generalization capabilities over the RBFANN and OK methods. Thus, RBFANNBE is a promising method for studying the spatial distribution of soil properties.Number of references:17Main heading:InterpolationControlled terms:Agriculture - Biogeochemistry - Biological materials - Neural networks - Nutrients - Organic compounds - Radial basis function networks - Soil moisture - Spatial distributionUncontrolled terms:Block effects - Data sample - Generalization capability - Jiangsu province - Ordinary kriging - Precision farming - Radial basis functions - Rbf artificial neural networks - Soil property - Soil variabilities - Spatial interpolation - Training processClassification code:921 Mathematics - 821.2 Agricultural Chemicals - 821 Agricultural Equipment and Methods; Vegetation and Pest Control - 804.1 Organic Compounds - 921.6 Numerical Methods - 723.4 Artificial Intelligence - 481.2 Geochemistry - 461.9 Biology - 461.2 Biological Materials and Tissue Engineering - 483.1 Soils and Soil MechanicsDOI:CNKI:32.1309.P.20120104.2012.007Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Then the moment equilibrium equation of the rotor of pump unit was established in the startup transient period. The mathematically expressing approach for the electromagnetic torque in the synchronous motor in terms of time was investigated. The resistance moments, inclusive of hydraulic resistance moment, bearing frictional moment and motor cooling fan resistance moment etc, and their mathematical expressions were clarified. Finally, the flow rate allocation and conservation between the rapid-drop gate and flap valve during the transient period were determined. Taking Huaiyin No. 3 Pumping Station as a study case, the startup transient process of the pump unit under the design condition was simulated to obtain the primary electrical and hydraulic parameters. In the simulation, the pump started running

when the instant exciting current reached 0.63 times its design value and the frequency was about 6.5 Hz, causing a 15 s lag delay. As a result, a best match was obtained between the motor rotational speed frequency and the lag time for opening the rapid-drop gate. At the design condition, when the rotational speed of the synchronous motor is linearly increased from 0 to 125 r/min in 100 s interval, the optimal lag time is 70 s for opening the rapid-drop gate.Number of references:11Main heading:Power qualityControlled terms:Computer simulation - Drops - Pumps - Synchronous motors - Transmission line theory - Variable speed drivesUncontrolled terms:Best match - Design condition - Design value - Electromagnetic torques - Hydraulic parameters - Hydraulic resistances - Lag-time - Mathematical expressions - Moment equilibrium equations - Pump station - Pumping stations - Rate allocation - Rotational speed - Study case - Transient behavior - Transient hydraulics - Transient process - Variable frequency drivesClassification code:723.5 Computer Applications - 706.1.2 Electric Power Distribution - 706.1.1 Electric Power Transmission - 705.3.1 AC Motors - 705.1 Electric Machinery, General - 618.2 Pumps - 443.1 Atmospheric PropertiesDOI:10.3969/j.issn.1674-8530.2012.01.010Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

After most of non-eye blocks are

excluded through the foregoing strong classifiers, most eye image blocks and a few of non-eye image blocks are detected through the rear parts of the cascade classifier, which can reduce the detection time and boost the detection speed.

The pressures at the pump end and the nozzle end of the injection pipe were measured at different engine speeds, loads and DME fuel temperatures. The injection delay, duration and sound speed were calculated by combining the signal of the needle valve lift. The experimental results indicate that DME has a lower bulk modulus, which reduces the pressure wave propagation and causes a longer injection delay and duration. The temperature of DME has a significant effect on the injection process. Higher temperature leads to smaller peak injection pressure, longer injection delay and duration.

The scaffold was based on biocompatible N-carboxyethylchitosan containing hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (NCECS/nHA). NCECS/nHA nanocomposite scaffold was fabricated by vacuum freeze-drying. Tracheal cartilage segments from a 8-week-old New Zealand white rabbit were chopped into small 1&times;1&times;1mm³ blocks. Following type II collagenase digestion, chondrocytes at passage 3 were seeded onto three-dimensional porous NCECS/nHA scaffolds. These cell-scaffold constructs were precultured in the incubator for 5 days and then subcutaneously implanted into nude mice for in vivo culture. After 8 weeks, explanted constructs were harvested and dedicated for histomorphologic and biochemical assays. The pore size of NCECS/nHA nanocomposite scaffold ranged from 200 to 500&mu;m. The porosity was &gt;85%. The chondrocytes cultured in this scaffold produced cartilaginous matrices. Immunohistochemical staining for type II collagen revealed that chondrocytes exhibited dark brown cytoplasm. After 8-week in vivo culture, the neonatal cartilage-like tissue exhibited histomorphological and biochemical characteristics similar to that of mature hyaline cartilage. These results demonstrated that NCECS/nHA facilitated the adhesion and viability of chondrocytes, and therefore allowed the authors to make further improvement by applying tissue-engineering methods to regenerate tracheas for clinical use. &copy; 2012 The Institution of Engineering and Technology.Number of references:32Main heading:Scaffolds (biology)Controlled terms:Adhesion - Body fluids - Cartilage - Cell culture - Hydroxyapatite - Nanocomposites - TissueUncontrolled terms:Biochemical assay - Biochemical characteristics - Cartilage regeneration - Cartilage-like tissues - Chondrocytes - Clinical use - Collagenase digestion - Hyaline cartilage - Immunohistochemical staining - In-vivo - N-carboxyethylchitosan - New Zealand White rabbit - Nude mice - Tracheal cartilage - Type II - Type II collagensClassification code:461 Bioengineering and Biology - 761 Nanotechnology - 801 Chemistry - 801.2 Biochemistry - 933 Solid State Physics - 951 Materials ScienceDOI:10.1049/mnl.2011.0628Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

In order to overcome such shortcoming, we propose two fast and efficient algorithms named SBPM and MSPM for mining frequent patterns in single and multiple biological respectively. We first present the concept of primary pattern, and then use prefix tree for mining frequent primary patterns. A pattern growth approach is also presented to mine all the frequent patterns without producing large amount of irrelevant patterns. Our experimental results show that our algorithms not only improve the performance but also achieve effective mining results. &copy; 2011 IEEE.

In this paper, we present a feature selection algorithm based on ant colony optimization (ACO). For n features, most ACO-based feature selection methods use a complete graph with O(n²) edges. However, the artificial ants in the proposed algorithm traverse on a directed graph with only 2n arcs. The algorithm adopts classifier performance and the number of the selected features as heuristic information, and selects the optimal feature subset in terms of feature set size and classification performance. Experimental results on various images show that our algorithm can obtain better classification accuracy with a smaller feature set comparing to other algorithms. &copy; 2011 Springer-Verlag.Number of references:11Main heading:AlgorithmsControlled terms:Artificial intelligence - Feature extraction - Graph theory - Image analysis - Image classification - OptimizationUncontrolled terms:Ant-colony optimization - Artificial ant - Classification accuracy - Classification and recognition - Classification performance - Classifier performance - Complete graphs - Dimensionality reduction - Directed graphs - Feature selection algorithm - Feature selection methods - Feature sets - Feature subset - Heuristic information - Image featuresClassification code:716 Telecommunication; Radar, Radio and Television - 723 Computer Software, Data Handling and Applications - 723.4 Artificial Intelligence - 741 Light, Optics and Optical Devices - 921 MathematicsDOI:10.1007/978-3-642-25832-9_59Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Dreze (1975) introduced a variant concept of Walrasian equilibrium based on rationing systems, named constrained Walrasian equilibrium, for modelling an economy with price rigidities. Talman and Yang (2008) further refined the concept and proposed a dynamic auction procedure that converges to a constrained Walrasian equilibrium. However, a constrained Walrasian equilibrium does not guarantee market efficiency. In other words, a constrained Walrasian equilibrium allocation does not necessarily lead to the best market value. In this paper, we introduce a concept of competitive equilibrium by weakening the concept of constrained Walrasian equilibrium and devise an dynamic auction procedure that generates an efficient competitive equilibrium. &copy; 2011 Springer-Verlag.Number of references:9Main heading:CostsControlled terms:Artificial intelligence - Commerce - RigidityUncontrolled terms:Auction markets - Competitive equilibrium - Market efficiency - Market values - Price rigidity - Walrasian equilibriumClassification code:723.4 Artificial Intelligence - 911 Cost and Value Engineering; Industrial Economics - 951 Materials ScienceDOI:10.1007/978-3-642-25832-9_82Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

The optical gain is found to decrease with the increase of the temperature due to the hole leakage in the separate confinement heterostructure (SCH) region. The distribution of unconfined electrons in the SCH region is negligible while the distribution of unconfined holes in the SCH region plays an important role in the leakage process, reflecting the smaller bandgap discontinuity in the valence band than in the conduction band. The threshold current density increases with the increase of temperature, which is dominated by the monomolecular recombination process. Our calculated threshold current densities with temperatures are in agreement with the available experimental results. &copy; 2011 American Institute of Physics.Number of references:39Main heading:Quantum well lasersControlled terms:Optical gain - Semiconductor quantum wells - Threshold current densityUncontrolled terms:Emission wavelength - GaInNAs - Hole leakage - Monomolecular recombination - Quantum well - Separate confinement heterostructure regions - Thermal dependencesClassification code:714.2 Semiconductor Devices and Integrated Circuits - 741.1 Light/Optics - 744.1 Lasers, General - 744.9 Laser ApplicationsDOI:10.1063/1.3672819Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Moreover, we use double-threshold algorithm to reduce the effect caused by noise uncertainty. Error detection probability is derived to analyze the effect of noise interference. We show that our cooperative scheme restrains the effect of noise interference greatly.

In GCHP systems, heat is extracted from or rejected to the ground by ground heat exchanger (GHE). The GHE is usually a single U-tube or double U-tube and the borehole is usually drilled to a depth between 30 and 200 m with a diameter of 100-200mm. The annular space between the GHE and borehole wall is usually grouted with a high thermal conductivity backfill material which provides a strong bond and ensures good thermal contact between the GHE and soil. Therefore, the selection of backfill material is very important for the heat transfer enhancement between GHE and surrounding soil. In this paper, a model experimental facility was set up based on the similarity principle. Three different backfills, which include the native soil, the soil mixed with pebbles and the soil mixed with scrap iron, were

selected to test the effects of backfill on the thermal performance of U-tube GHE. The temperature distribution of the U-tube wall and the soil surrounding the U-tube and heat transfer rate of GHE with the three backfills were tested by the experimental device. The experimental results show that a backfill with high thermal conductivity can improve the thermal performance of U-tube GHE, but the thermal conductivity should not be increased unlimitedly considering the thermal interference of two adjacent legs of U-tube.Number of references:5Main heading:Thermal conductivityControlled terms:Air conditioning - Boreholes - Concrete construction - Geothermal heat pumps - Iron scrap - Mixed convection - Soils - Tubes (components)Uncontrolled terms:Backfill - Experimental setup - Experimental studies - Ground coupled heat pump - Ground heat exchangersClassification code:641.2 Heat Transfer - 616.1 Heat Exchange Equipment and Components - 511.1 Oil Field Production Operations - 643.3 Air Conditioning - 483.1 Soils and Soil Mechanics - 412 Concrete - 405 Construction Equipment and Methods; Surveying - 452.3 Industrial WastesDatabase:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Our finding provides new insights into the computation of 2DPCA and give a new equivalent algorithm for performing 2DPCA based on row vectors of original matrices. Based on the new algorithm, we extend the existing 2DPCA algorithm to its multi-dimensional case by developing a new feature extraction technique for multi-dimensional data called multi-dimensional principal component analysis (MDPCA). Different from 2DPCA and PCA, MDPCA is based on multi-dimensional data rather than 2D image matrices or 1D vectors so the range of PCA-based applications is significantly enlarged. The experimental results also demonstrate that MDPCA can extract more effective and robust multi-dimensional image features than 2DPCA. &copy; 2011 IEEE.Number of references:17Main heading:Principal component analysisControlled terms:Algorithms - Face recognition - Feature extraction - Two dimensional

This paper presents a decompositioncoordination method of dynamically programmed space-time combination. In this method, spatial subsystems are used as coordination layer's stages and water distribution coefficients at each stage as decision variables, and dynamic programming is adopted for overall coordination of the subsystems'water quantities. Further, on each time-staged decomposition layer the decision variables of operating-pumps number, blade angles and

rotational speeds are formulated, and successive approximation of dynamic programming is used to determine the optimal operation mode of every subsystem. Application of the method to the blade-adjusting and speedvarying Jiangdu pumping station shows feasible results in optimizing these decision variables. &copy; Copyright.Number of references:13Main heading:Pumping plantsControlled terms:Approximation theory - Coordination reactions - Decision making - Dynamic programming - Hydraulic machinery - Optimization - Water supply systemsUncontrolled terms:Blade angle - Coordination layer - Decision variables - Decomposition coordination methods - Decompositioncoordination - Nonlinear problems - Operation optimization - Optimal operation - Optimal operation mode - Parallel pumping stations optimization - Pumping stations - Rotational speed - Successive approximations - Water distribution coefficients - Water quantitiesClassification code:921.6 Numerical Methods - 921.5 Optimization Techniques - 912.2 Management - 802.2 Chemical Reactions - 632.2 Hydraulic Equipment and Machinery - 446.1 Water Supply Systems - 446 WaterworksDatabase:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Natural ventilation in design of modern architecture affects directly the indoor thermal environment. This paper proposes Standard Effective Temperature (SET*) as the evaluation index on natural ventilation in architecture. SET* has the advantage of allowing thermal comparisons between environments at any combination of the physical input variables. Based on a laboratory study with a large number of subjects, empirical functions between two comfort indices, skin temperature and skin wittedness, were developed. These functions are used in the two-node model to produce predicted values of the votes of populations exposed to the same condition as the cylinder by Gagge. It is instructive to work out SET* via two-node model and to analyze the respective influence of various constructions on the SET* by numerical simulation or tunnel test. In addition, the application of the method can be a simple design tool at preliminary design stage. The current study indicates that the limitations can be avoided in the field of evaluation with natural ventilation by PMV and adaptive model, and also be more correctable by using standard effective temperature as an evaluation index with natural ventilation in architecture. It is instructive to work out SET* via two-node model and to analyze the respective influence of various constructions on the SET* by numerical simulation or tunnel test. In addition, the application of the method can be a simple design tool at preliminary design stage.Number of references:22Main heading:VentilationControlled terms:Air conditioning - Architecture - Computer simulation - Design - Function evaluation - TemperatureUncontrolled terms:Adaptive models - Air conditions - Comfort index - Design tool - Empirical functions - Evaluation index - Indoor air - Input variables - Laboratory studies - Modern architectures - Natural ventilation - Passive cooling - Preliminary design - Skin temperatures - Standard effective temperatures - Thermal environment - Tunnel test - Two-node modelClassification code:921.6 Numerical Methods - 723.5 Computer Applications - 643.5 Ventilation - 643.3 Air Conditioning - 641.1 Thermodynamics - 408 Structural Design - 402 Buildings and TowersDatabase:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

The method makes use of the Mahalanobis distance to perform marginal fisher analysis (MFA) for labeled samples in the data set, which is on the basis of the graph embedding framework, so that it not only preserves the intraclass compactness and the interclass separability, but also extracts the discriminant characteristics for effective classification, and simultaneously the unlabeled samples were utilized to characterize the geometric structure of the data set, and thus the local neighborhood information among samples was well preserved. Compared with the traditional feature extraction methods, the proposed method has better recognition performance, and the experiments on ORL, YALE and AR face databases demonstrate the effectiveness of this method.Number of references:10Main heading:Face recognitionControlled terms:Discriminant analysis - Embedded systems - Feature extractionUncontrolled terms:Data sets - Distance-based - Face database - Feature extraction methods - Geometric structure - Graph embeddings - Mahalanobis - Mahalanobis distances - Marginal fisher analysis - Neighborhood information - Recognition performance - Sample features - Semi-supervised - Semi-supervised discriminant analysis - Unlabeled samplesClassification code:716 Telecommunication; Radar, Radio and Television - 722 Computer Systems and Equipment - 723 Computer Software, Data Handling and Applications - 922 Statistical MethodsDOI:CNKI:11-2625/V.20111114.1720.011Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

The problem of explosion of complexity in traditional backstepping design is avoided by utilizing dynamic surface control. In addition, parameter projection algorithms are employed to avoid the singularity of adaptive controller. By using Lyapunov method, the closed-loop system is shown to be semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded, with arbitrary small tracking error by appropriately choosing design constants.

Meanwhile, in accordance with the structure, the adaptive routing algorithm is designed. The algorithm sets longitudinal direction priority to adaptively searching the equivalent minimum path between the source nodes and the destination nodes in order to increase network throughput.

However, noise constraints will seriously affect the performance of clustering. To improve the distributed clustering with constraints, distributed k-means based-on soft constraints, which constraint violations can be effectively dealt with, is presented in this paper. Aiming at the limitation of distributed clustering, such as communication cost and data privacy etc., only positive constraints by chunklets are used in the proposed method. To simplify the treatment of constrained data points, the mean value of chunklet is used as the representative point. Then positive constraints among chunklet are approximately transformed into pairwise positive constraints between each data points from the chunklet and the mean value. Thus, the cluster label of each mean value is regarded as the label estimation of data points from the chunklet. Based on the above approximation, a new measure of partition cost used to deal with constraint violations is defined. Therefore, for unconstrained data points, the within-cluster sum of distance squares can be minimized. Meanwhile, for constrained data points, the sum of distance between data points and corresponding centriods and the cost of constraint violations is minimized too. The experimental

results showed that the proposed method decreases the computation complexity of constraint violations. Compared with hard constrained distributed clustering, the clustering accuracy of the proposed method is increased. &copy; 2011 Academic Journals Inc.Number of references:16Main heading:Clustering algorithmsControlled terms:Data privacyUncontrolled terms:Constrained clustering - Constraint violation - Constraints transformation - K-means - Positive constraintsClassification code:716 Telecommunication; Radar, Radio and Television - 717 Optical Communication - 718 Telephone Systems and Related Technologies; Line Communications - 721 Computer Circuits and Logic ElementsDOI:10.3923/jse.2011.116.126Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

derived in the sense of minimizing the embedding distortion. The proposed scheme is theoretically invariant to valumetric scaling and can resist stronger noise than the well-known spread transform dither modulation.

Publisher:Secretariat of ISHVAC2011, Tongji University, Shanghai, 200092, ChinaAbstract:Underground thermal balance, which means that the annual heat released to ground by the ground heat exchangers(GHE) should be equal to that extracted from ground, is crucial to the long term efficient operation of the ground-coupled heat pump(GCHP). In this paper, a two-dimensional numerical model with phase change was constructed for the heat transfer analysis of an underground soil region with a 4&times;4 GHE array. Based on the solution of the model, the dynamic variation law of underground soil temperature under different underground thermal imbalance ratio was investigated for an operation period of 10 years. The influences of the ratio of the annual heat released to ground to that extracted from ground on the soil temperature distribution was discussed, and the influences of evaporating and condesing temperature on the COP of heat pump unit were analyzed. The results indicate that the underground soil temperature gradually increases for the cooling-dominated district due to the surplus heat ejected into the ground in summer and will drop for the heating-dominated district due to the excessive heat extracted from the ground in winter. This will deteriorate the operation performance of the heat pump and may result in the eventual system failure. Considering the resumption of soil temperature after 10 years, the imbalance ratio should be controlled to be less than 1.2 from the simulation results. The results obtained in this paper may provide a preference for the optimum design of GCHP used in districts with unbalanced cooling and heating load.Number of references:4Main heading:Temperature distributionControlled terms:Air conditioning - Geothermal heat pumps - Numerical modelsUncontrolled terms:Dynamic variations - Ground coupled heat pump - Ground heat exchangers - Heat pump unit - Heat pumps - Heat transfer analysis - Heating load - Operation performance - Operation period - Optimum designs - Phase Change - Soil temperature - Soil temperature variations - Surplus heat - System failures - Thermal balance - Thermal imbalance ratio - Two dimensional numerical modelsClassification code:641.1 Thermodynamics - 641.2 Heat Transfer - 643.3 Air Conditioning - 921 MathematicsDatabase:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Firstly, the large-scale system was decomposed into a series of subsystems, for each decomposed subsystem, DPSA was applied respectively in order to search for the relationship between its own optimization target and interrelated variable, then its regression equation was obtained through regression analysis. Secondly, the aggregation model was constructed based on the subsystems' regression equations, then optimal solution of the aggregation model was obtained. Finally, through feedback of interrelated variables to each subsystem, the operational operation modes of subsystems in different periods were determined. With the method applied in blade-adjusting optimization of Jiangdu Pumping Station, the optimal regulation process was realized, and showed that this method is feasible. In addition, by selecting the unit energy consumption cost (UECC) as an evaluation index, with and without considering peak-valley electricity prices, a comparison analysis of UECC of the optimized operations was made between the blade-adjustable pumps and the conventional ones at various daily-average heads and operation loadings. The result indicated that the saving rates of UECC were 7.52%, 22.19% and 25.89% under operation loading of 100%, 80% and 60%, respectively.Number of references:10Main heading:Dynamic programming

Based on the principle of minimum stream power, the optimization models for calculating the width-depth ratio are constructed for fixed-bed channel, threshold channel, and movable-bed channel, respectively. Combined with Einstein's comprehensive roughness equation, the quantitative relations between width-depth ratio and bank relative roughness for different types of channel are derived by using calculation method of conditional extreme value. Results show that for fixed-bed channel the width-depth ratio increases with the increase of bank relative roughness, while for threshold channel and movable-bed channel the width-depth ratio decreases with the increase of bank relative roughness. For fixed-bed channel the width-depth ratio increases for reducing the effect of high bank relative roughness on flow discharge, while for threshold channel and

The effects of viscosity ratios and vinyl acetate contents of the EVA on the co-continuous morphology were addressed. The results show that EVA/PCL is a typical immiscible blend due to the high interfacial tension between the two polymers. Thus, the blend shows a wide percolation range with a narrow fully co-continuous region. Although the phase inversion point can be well predicted by the viscous Utracki model, the dynamic viscoelastic responses of the blend cannot be well described by the emulsion model. The elasticity ratio was proposed to play an important role together with the viscosity ratio on the

phase inversions. During dynamic annealing, the phase size of both the sea-island and the co-continuous structures increases evidently, but the principle of time-temperature superposition is only valid for the co-continuous blend while fails with that with the sea-island phase structure. Beside, the phase size of the co-continuous structure is dependent strongly on the viscosity ratio between EVA and PCL.With reduced viscosity ratio, the phase size increases remarkably. However, vinyl acetate (VA) contents of the EVA have little influences on the interfacial properties and phase size of the co-continuous blends in the experimental content ranges (28-12 wt.%). &copy; 2011 Springer-Verlag.Number of references:60Main heading:Polyvinyl acetatesControlled terms:Blending - Copolymers - Elasticity - Emulsification - Ethylene - Morphology - Polymer blends - Solvents - Viscosity - Volatile fatty acidsUncontrolled terms:Blend - Blending ratio - Caprolactone - Co-continuous morphology - Co-continuous structure - Dynamic annealing - Ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers - Immiscible blends - Interfacial property - Linear viscoelastic - Phase inversion - Phase size - Reduced viscosity - Time temperature superposition - Vinyl acetates - Viscoelastic response - Viscosity ratiosClassification code:815.1.1 Organic Polymers - 815.1 Polymeric Materials - 804.1 Organic Compounds - 951 Materials Science - 802.3 Chemical Operations - 422 Strength of Building Materials; Test Equipment and Methods - 421 Strength of Building Materials; Mechanical Properties - 631.1 Fluid Flow, GeneralDOI:10.1007/s00396-011-2488-7Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

The formation of 3D dandelionlike Sb<inf>2</inf>S<inf>3</inf> microsphere was probably via the mechanism of the orientated aggregation growth of the Sb <inf>2</inf>S<inf>3</inf> particles under the complexing action of L-cysteine, and co-action of the surfactant PVP. The absorption spectra of as-prepared 3D dandelionlike Sb<inf>2</inf>S<inf>3</inf> structures show an optical shoulder band gap of 1.81 eV, which is near to the optimum for photovoltaic conversion.

The probes were used to capture the synthetic biotin-dUTP-labeled DNA fragments which were obtained by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Then these complexes were bonded with streptavidin-modified alkaline phosphatase (SA-AP). Finally the chemiluminescent signals were detected by adding 3-(2&prime;-spiroadamantane)- 4-methoxy -4-(3&Prime;-phosphoryloxy) phenyl-1, 2-dioxetane (AMPPD) which was the substrate reagent of AP. The concentration of probes which were immobilized on the surface of MNPs was studied, how to reduce the adsorption of SA-AP on the surface of MNPs was also researched. It was shown that 12.5 pmol of probes were immobilized on 1 mg of MNPs. Aldehyde-MNPs modified with probes could adsorb SA-AP, affecting the sensitivity of chemiluminescene consequently. Reduction of aldehyde group by sodium borohydride and blocking the bare position of MNPs with bovine serum albumin (BSA) could decrease the background of chemiluminescence, and this method has good specificity in detection of chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene.

This paper addresses searching for blocks that (mostly) contain ones in such a dataset where there may exist meaningless ones considered as noise and overlapping situation between blocks. To this end, we propose a new biclustering algorithm through defining a suitable clustering similarity measurement and integrating the hierarchical clustering algorithm to discover high-quality biclusters. A powerful feature of our approach is that biclusters with different numbers of rows and columns can be detected varying from many rows to a few columns and in turn, since the user can guide the search towards biclusters by defining at first different cluster thresholds for specific dimensions. Several experiments and comparisons based on both synthetic datasets and real datasets are adopted to demonstrate its efficiency in finding the biclusters and achieving

significant improvements when compared to other basic greedy strategies. In addition, the approach is applied to the traditional Chinese medical researches in order to indicate its practical value. &copy; 2011 IEEE.Number of references:9Main heading:Clustering algorithmsControlled terms:MedicineUncontrolled terms:Biclustering - Biclustering algorithm - Biclusters - Binary data - biomedicine - cluster - Data sets - Greedy strategies - Hierarchical clustering algorithms - High quality - Its efficiencies - matrix - Medical research - Real data sets - Similarity measurements - Synthetic datasets - Traditional Chinese MedicineClassification code:461.6 Medicine and Pharmacology - 721 Computer Circuits and Logic ElementsDOI:10.1109/BIBMW.2011.6112484Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

FeCl<inf>3</inf>&middot;6H<inf>2</inf>O was applied as the iron source, and the oxidizing agent to produce PPy. Trisodium citrate (Na<inf>3</inf>cit) was used as the reducing reagent to form Fe<inf>3</inf>O<inf>4</inf> NPs. The asprepared nanofluid can keep long-term stability. The Fe<inf>3</inf>O<inf>4</inf>@PPy NPs can still keep dispersing well after the nanofluid has been standing for 1 month and no sedimentation is found. The

polymerization reaction of the pyrrole monomers took place with Fe³⁺ ions as the initiator, in which these Fe³⁺ ions remained in the solution adsorbed on the surface of the Fe<inf>3</inf>O<inf>4</inf> NPs. Thus, the core-shell NPs of Fe<inf>3</inf>O<inf>4</inf>@PPy were obtained. The particle size of the as-prepared Fe<inf>3</inf>O<inf>4</inf>@PPy can be easily controlled from 7 to 30 nm by the polymerization reaction of the pyrrole monomers. The steric stabilization and weight of the NPs affect the stability of the nanofluids.

The obtained CS/PCL vascular scaffolds were dried with ethanol, and then characterized by SEM and electronic universal testing machine. The endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) were implanted in the scaffolds with various mass ratios of CS to PCL. The vascular scaffolds were examined by adhesion rate in different culturing times and the cells growth was observed. Micro/nano structured surface of CS/PCL vascular scaffolds are more stable after dealing with ethanol. The obtained CS/PCL vascular scaffolds showed porous, micro/nano structured surfaces which were similar to natural extracellular matrix. When the mass ratio of CS to PCL is 0.5, the breaking elongation of CS/PCL vascular scaffolds was 31.64%, and the curves of stress-strain indicate that the obtained vascular scaffolds possess good elastic deformation. The adhesion rates of EPC5 on CS/PCL vascular scaffolds increase to 95.1% in 24 h, the observation of EPCs labeled with CM-Dil (chlormethylbenzamido-1, 1dioctadecyl-3,3,3&prime;,3&prime;-tetramethylindocarbocyamine) after culturing 72 h by fluorescence microscopy also illustrates that CS/PCL vascular scaffolds are beneficial to cell growth and cell adhesion.

It is a rockfill dam with an earth core. With a maximum height of 293 m, the dam creats a reservoir capacity of 101.54&times;109m³. At this site, the design peak ground acceleration (PGA) is 288gal. The safety of dam during earthquakes becomes an extremely important design consideration. Three dimensional dynamic finite element analysis was adopted to study the dynamic behaviour of the dam during earthquake. The dam materials were modeled as equivalentlinear material, whose shear modulus varys with the mean effective stress. By using the modified Hardin model, the modulus and damping ratio were modeled as strain dependent. The acceleration response was analyzed. The liquefaction resistance of the dam materials and the permanent deformation induced by earthquake were computed by combining the result of cyclic strength and residual strain obtained by the large-scale dynamic triaxial tests. &copy; 2009 IOS Press.Number of references:4Main heading:Reservoirs (water)Controlled terms:Dams - Deformation - Earthquakes - Geotechnical engineering - Liquefaction - Rock mechanics - Safety factor - Soil mechanics - Strength of materialsUncontrolled terms:Acceleration response - Cyclic strength - Dam materials - Damping ratio - Design considerations - Dynamic behaviours - Earth core - Effective stress - Equivalent-linear - Hardin model - High rockfill dam - Large-scale dynamics - Liquefaction resistance - Peak ground

The elastic fields in QD structures may be induced by mismatches in the coefficients of thermal expansion and the lattice constants of species, by defects, and by external loading. The calculation of the elastic fields in QD structures is complicated by several factors: by the complex shapes of QDs; by the anisotropy of the material species; and by the interface effects at the nano scale. In this paper we present a

general approach to the calculation of the elastic fields in QD structures of arbitrary shape. This approach can also deal with the anisotropy of the QD material, the nonuniformity of its composition, the mismatch in the elastic constants of the matrix and the QD, and the interface effect. The effects of these factors on the elastic fields are depicted by analytical and numerical results. &copy; Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2009.Number of references:23Main heading:NanosystemsControlled terms:Anisotropy - Interfaces (materials) - Loading - Nanostructured materials - Semiconductor quantum dotsUncontrolled terms:Arbitrary shape - Coefficients of thermal expansions - Complex shapes - Elastic fields - External loading - General approach - Interface effect - Nano scale - Nonuniformity - Numerical results - Physical and mechanical properties - Quantum dot structureClassification code:672 Naval Vessels - 714.2 Semiconductor Devices and Integrated Circuits - 761 Nanotechnology - 931.2 Physical Properties of Gases, Liquids and Solids - 933 Solid State PhysicsDOI:10.1007/978-1-4020-9557-3_19Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Abstract:The Yichang irrigation sub-district of the Hetao irrigation district (Inner-Mongolia, China) is selected as a research area. The groundwater plays an important role in this area, which is not only an important source of water for domestic and industrial uses, but also the key factor of salinization of the soil. In addition, Hetao irrigation district has many unresolved problems, such as degradation of groundwater quality, and low irrigation efficiency and salinization, which are related to the use of water resources in this region. Therefore, to deal with the limited groundwater resources reasonably and protect them efficiently, understanding the cycling of water and salt in the irrigation process has important practical significance. &copy; 2007 Taylor &amp; Francis Group, London.Number of references:4Main heading:IrrigationControlled terms:Groundwater - Industrial applications - Water quality - Water resources - WeatheringUncontrolled terms:Ground-water qualities - Industrial use - Irrigation districts - Irrigation efficiency - Key factors - Research areas - Salt balances - Semi aridClassification code:421 Strength of Building Materials; Mechanical Properties - 444 Water Resources - 444.2 Groundwater - 453.2 Water Pollution Control - 821.3 Agricultural Methods - 913 Production Planning and Control; ManufacturingDatabase:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

In addition, error-avoiding codes in the projected subspace are discussed, offering a potentially robust scheme for protecting against decoherence. The following general conditions were found: (1) a projected subspace can always be constructed, in which decoherence effects can be cancelled by adjusting the interaction coupling time, enabling error-correction to be performed. This subspace is closed for the projected states. (2) The necessary and sufficient conditions for a decoherence-free subspace are that the second term in the subdynamic equation, be equal to zero. Commonly formulated conditions for a decoherence-free subspace are shown to be particular approximations of this condition, including the so-called Born-Markovian approximation. &copy; 2002 American Institute of Physics.Number of references:22Main heading:Quantum theoryControlled terms:Semiconductor quantum dotsUncontrolled terms:Decoherence - Decoherence effects - Decoherence free subspace - Interaction coupling - Sufficient conditionsClassification code:714.2 Semiconductor Devices and Integrated Circuits - 931.4 Quantum Theory; Quantum MechanicsDOI:10.1063/1.1436289Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Box 211, Amsterdam, 1000 AE, NetherlandsAbstract:The control of different types of spin vortex structure in ferromagnetic nanostripes is studied by means of spin dynamics simulation. As for magnetocrystalline anisotropic nanostripe, the transformation between transverse wall and spin vortex can be realized by adjusting the strength of the uniaxial anisotropy. When nanostripe is isotropic or week anisotropic, the static magnetic structure favors spin vortex structure. Our results show that different types of spin vortex structure can be successfully induced by pinning the spins in the boundary of nanostripe. Interestingly, when the pinning is removed, the induced spin vortex structure can keep its stabilization. This approach may help to write digital information with determined spin vortex structure into ferromagnetic nanostripes. Moreover, the stability of spin vortex structure under external field is also investigated. It shows that spin vortex structure with pinned boundary spins is more stable than spin vortex in open boundary condition. &copy; 2012 Elsevier B.V.Number of references:34Main heading:Vortex flowControlled terms:Anisotropy - Ferromagnetic materials - FerromagnetismUncontrolled terms:Digital information - Dynamics simulation - External fields - Ferromagnetic nanostripe - Magnetocrystalline - Nanostripes - Open boundary condition - Static magnetic structures - Transverse walls - Uniaxial anisotropy - Vortex structuresClassification code:631.1 Fluid Flow, General - 708.4 Magnetic Materials - 931.2 Physical Properties of Gases, Liquids and SolidsDOI:10.1016/j.jmmm.2012.09.067Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

X-ray diffraction and field emission scanning electron microscope equipped with energy dispersive spectrometer were performed to analyze the crystal structure and check the possible presence of any impurity elements in the nanocrystals.

Magnetization measurement shows that the low Co-doping (x&le0.03) develops the ferromagnetism and paramagnetism, but they are weakened by the higher Co-doping due to the formation of antiferromagnetic superexchange coupling among neighboring Co ions.

The effect of types of aeration, air temperature, and bed depth on drying curves and moisture nonuniformity was analyzed. The results showed that drying was mainly affected by the air flow direction, air temperature, and bed depth. The moisture nonuniformity was 2% for an alternating air flow direction drying, where as it was 7% for one-way drying at a bed depth of 15 cm at 33 min. Alternating direction drying improved moisture uniformity, but the drying rate was decreased at a bed depth of 20 cm. A constant drying stage was observed at a critical bed depth, where as an increasing drying rate stage was observed for a deeper bed. The pressure drop (&Delta;P/L) was studied by ventilation experiments considering the effect of air flow rate, moisture content, bed type, and bed depth. The result showed that pressure drop in a double bed was greater than that in a single bed with the same bed depth. The pressure drop increased with air flow rate and decreased with moisture content and bed depth. &copy; 2012 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.Number of references:36Main heading:DryingControlled terms:Air - Atmospheric temperature - Flow rate - Moisture - Moisture determination - Pelletizing - Pressure dropUncontrolled terms:Air flow - Air flow-rate - Air temperature - Alternating directions - Bed depth - Drying behavior - Drying curves - Drying kinetic - Drying rates - Extruded feed pellet - Fixed bed - Moisture nonuniformity - UniformityClassification code:944.2 Moisture Measurements - 804 Chemical Products Generally - 802.3 Chemical Operations - 642.1 Process Heating - 631.1 Fluid Flow, General - 631 Fluid Flow - 443.1 Atmospheric PropertiesDOI:10.1080/07373937.2012.707161Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

According to the shear strength of unsaturated silt, the results show the matrix suction has a little influence on effective angle of internal friction, while has great influence on failure modes and cohesion. With the increasing of matrix suction, stress-strain curves translate from hardening type to softening type, the effective angle of internal friction changes a little and is approximately equal to the effective angle of internal friction of saturated soil, cohesion is significantly improved. Matrix suction friction angle is not a constant, when the matrix suction is less than 100kPa, it decreases with matrix suction increasing, the rate of decrease reduces gradually; when matrix suction is greater than 100kPa, it tends to be a fixed value.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, GermanyAbstract:In this paper, a model that optimal daily operation(without considering peak and valley price) of single adjustable-blade pump unit in the large pumping station along the Yangtze River is established. Where the minimum cost of energy consumption of single pump unit is set as the objective function, the periods are defined as stage variables, the blade angle is expressed as a decision variable and the daily quantity of delivery water is considered as constraint. The No. 4 Jiangdu Pump Station is taken as a study case. Dynamic programming is adopted to carry out the tidal large pumping station along the Yangtze River. Through this method, under the condition of different water quantity constraint, different average pumping head and different average tidal range amplitude,the influence of the tidal variation on optimal operation of single pump unit in the

pumping station is determined. The application results shows that: With the decreased of average pumping head and the increased of average tidal range, the effect of optimal operation of adjustable-blade pump unit in the pumping station along the Yangtze River is getting more and more obvious. &copy; (2012) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.Number of references:13Main heading:Pumping plantsControlled terms:Dynamic programming - Energy utilization - Hydraulic structures - Hydraulics - Optimization - Shore protection - TidesUncontrolled terms:Adjustable-blade - Blade angle - Decision variables - Minimum cost - Objective functions - Optimal daily operation - Optimal operation - Pump station - Pumping head - Pumping stations - Single pumps - Study case - Tidal ranges - Tidal variations - Water quantities - Yangtze RiverClassification code:632.1 Hydraulics - 611 Hydroelectric and Tidal Power Plants - 525.3 Energy Utilization - 921.5 Optimization Techniques - 471.4 Seawater, Tides and Waves - 441 Dams and Reservoirs; Hydro Development - 407.1 Maritime Structures - 446 WaterworksDOI:10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMM.212-213.1249Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Conference location:Shanghai, ChinaConference code:93794Sponsor:United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)Publisher:IEEE Computer Society, 2001 L Street N.W., Suite 700, Washington, DC 20036-4928, United StatesAbstract:The Leaf Area Index (LAI) was an important structural parameter for quantifying the energy and mass exchange characteristics in ecosystems. There was considerable interest in assessing LAI to evaluate crop growth and production. In this study, hyperspectral vegetation indices (VIs) from in-situ remote sensing measurements were utilized to monitor erect-type corn (Zea mays L.) canopy's LAI. Firstly, LAI gradually increased during the growth process and reached its maximum in the spinning middle stage. Secondly, compared to other VIs, LAI was the most positively related to modified transformed vegetation index (MTVI) (r 0.867, p 0.01) and more positively related to re-normalized difference vegetation index (RDVI) (r 0.795, p 0.01), and thus MTVI and RDVI could be potential indicators of erect-type corn canopy's LAI. Thirdly, if LAI &gt; 5.48, MTVI and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI[900, 680]) were easily saturated, while RDVI was far from its saturation state, thus it was suitable to adopt the model based on RDVI to monitor LAI; if LAI 5.48, it was available to adopt the model based on MTVI to monitor LAI. Finally, the statistical analysis showed that the determination coefficient (R²), relative root mean square error (RRMSE) and monitoring accuracy values of the LAI segmented model based on MTVI and RDVI were 0.909 (p 0.01), 0.087 and 91.3%, respectively, and the LAI segmented model was significantly better than the models only adopting MTVI, RDVI, or NDVI[900, 680], which the monitoring accuracy increased by 8.0%, 11.6% and 15.1%, respectively. Therefore, the two remote sensing characteristic variable of MTVI and RDVI could be considered as a sensitive indicator as LAI of erect-type corn. In conclusion, this study confirmed the feasibility of utilizing MTVI and RDVI derived from ground-based remotely sensed data to monitor erect-type corn canopy's LAI, and further confirmed that the segmented model based on MTVI and RDVI, used to monitor LAI, can not only improve the monitoring accuracy but also solve the saturation problems that occurred in MTVI and NDVI[900, 680]. Accordingly, the result could supervise erect-type corn growth patterns, predict its production and provide an operational approach to fleetly obtaining accurate and more timely crop growth information in precise agriculture using the remote sensing characteristic variable. &copy; 2012 IEEE.Number of references:21Main heading:VegetationControlled terms:Crops - Forestry - Mean square error - Remote sensingUncontrolled terms:Corn (Zea mays L.) - Corn canopy - Corn growth - Crop growth - Determination coefficients - Erect-type corn - Ground based - Growth process - HyperSpectral - Leaf Area Index - Mass exchange - Model-based OPC - Monitoring accuracy - Monitoring models - Normalized difference vegetation index - Potential indicators - Precise agriculture - Remotely sensed data - Root mean square errors - Saturation problems - Saturation state - Sensing characteristics - Sensitive indicator - Spectral measurement - Structural parameter - Vegetation indexClassification code:731.1 Control Systems - 821 Agricultural Equipment and Methods; Vegetation and Pest ControlDOI:10.1109/Agro-Geoinformatics.2012.6311645

Firstly, data utilized to analyze the grey relationships between LWC and the selected typical WVIs were used to determine the sensitivity of different WVIs to LWC. Secondly, the two methods of estimating LWC in winter wheat were compared, one was to directly use PLS and the other was to combine SRM and PLS, and then the method with the highest determination coefficient (R²) and lowest root mean square error (RMSE) was selected to estimate LWC in winter wheat. The results showed that the relationships between the first five WVI and LWC were stable by using GRA, and then LWC was estimated by using PLS and SRM-PLS at the whole stages with the R² and RMSEs being 0.605 and 0.575, 4.75% and 7.35%, respectively. The results indicated that the estimation accuracy of LWC could be improved by using GRA firstly and then by using PLS and SRM-PLS.Number of references:18Main heading:EstimationControlled terms:Crops - Information theory - Mean square errorUncontrolled terms:Grey relational analysis - Leaf water content - Partial least square (PLS) -

Box 3337, Columbus, OH 43210-3337, United StatesAbstract:Graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets were immobilized onto the capillary wall using 3-aminopropyldiethoxymethyl silane as coupling agent. Graphene coated column (G@column) was fabricated by hydrazine reduction of GO modified column. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images provided visible evidence of the GO grafted on the capillary wall. Energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS) indicated the high coverage of the GO on the capillary wall. The G@column exhibited a pH-dependent electroosmotic flow (EOF) from anode to cathode in the pH range of 3-9 while the graphene oxide coated column (GO@column) showed a constant EOF. Both GO@column and G@column were evaluated for open-tubular capillary electrochromatography (OT-CEC). The GO@column was also evaluated for open-tubular capillary liquid chromatography (OT-CLC). Good separation of the tested neutral analytes on the GO@column was achieved on the basis of a typical reversed-phase behavior. On the contrary, G@column showed poor separation performance because of the strong &pi;-&pi; stacking and hydrophobic interactions between graphene and polyaromatic hydrocarbons. The high coverage of GO improved the

column phase ratio which makes the GO@column promising for OT-CLC separation. Five of the major known proteins including three glycoisoforms of ovalbumin in chicken egg white were identified in a single run on the GO@column with phosphate buffer (5 mM, pH 7.0) and an applied voltage of 20 kV. The run-to-run, day-to-day, and column-to-column reproducibilities are evaluated by calculating the relative standard deviations (RSDs) of the EOF in OT-CEC and retention time of naphthalene in OT-CLC, respectively. These RSD values were found to be less than 3%. &copy; 2012 American Chemical Society.Number of references:60Main heading:GrapheneControlled terms:Coupling agents - Hydrocarbons - Liquid chromatography - Naphthalene - Scanning electron microscopy - SeparationUncontrolled terms:Applied voltages - Capillary electrochromatography - Capillary liquid chromatography - Capillary wall - Chicken egg white - Column phase ratio - Electroosmotic flow - Energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry - Graphene oxides - Hydrazine reduction - Hydrophobic interactions - Neutral analytes - On The Go - Open tubular capillary electrochromatography - Ovalbumins - pH range - PH-dependent - Phosphate buffers - Polyaromatic hydrocarbons - Relative standard deviations - Reproducibilities - Retention time - Reversed phase - Run to run - Scanning electron microscopy image - Separation performance - Stationary phaseClassification code:741.1 Light/Optics - 761 Nanotechnology - 802.3 Chemical Operations - 803 Chemical Agents and Basic Industrial Chemicals - 804 Chemical Products Generally - 804.1 Organic CompoundsDOI:10.1021/ac3023636Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

CODEN:ZXUEEADocument type:Journal article (JA)Publisher:Nanjing University of Aeronautics an Astronautics, 29 Yudao Street, Nanjing, 210016, ChinaAbstract:There are a variety of uncertainties in the all-clamped stiffened panel structure, e.g., model uncertainty, which can affect the vibration control performance of the closed-loop structure. A kind of linear composite active vibration control strategy combining a second order active disturbance rejection controller (ADRC) with an acceleration feedback controller is designed, which is independent of the mathematical model of the structure. And the stability and superiority of the strategy are analyzed theoretically. Firstly, the estimation of the generalized disturbances including the variations of the structure model and the external disturbances were real-time performed by a second order linear active disturbance rejection controller, and it was fed forwards to the control as the compensated signal to reject the effect caused by these disturbances. Secondly, a kind of composite vibration controller based on the feedback of acceleration and linear state error signals was designed. Finally, in order to verify the proposed composite controller, using dSPACE real-time simulation system an experimental platform of active vibration control for the all-clamped stiffened panel structure was built. Acceleration sensor and piezoelectric actuator were used and comparison tests were conducted for the proposed control method. The experiment results under several disturbance excitations demonstrate that the proposed vibration control strategy not only effectively suppresses the vibration excited by sinusoidal and impulsive disturbances, but also diminish the fluctuation effects caused by uncertain factors.Number of references:16Main heading:Vibration controlControlled terms:Feedback - Mathematical models - Piezoelectric actuators - Uncertainty analysisUncontrolled terms:Acceleration feedback - Acceleration sensors - Active disturbance rejection - Active disturbance rejection controller - Active vibration controls - Closed-loop structures - Comparison test - Composite controllers - Control methods - Control performance - D-space - Experimental platform - External disturbances - Impulsive disturbances - Model uncertainties - Real time simulations - Second orders - State errors - Stiffened panel structures - Structure models - Uncertain factors - Vibration controllerClassification code:922.1 Probability Theory - 921 Mathematics - 732 Control Devices - 731.3 Specific Variables Control - 731.1 Control Systems - 715 Electronic Equipment, General Purpose and Industrial - 708 Electric and Magnetic MaterialsDatabase:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Firstly the algorithm constructed a virtual backbone forwarding data at very low cost, and secondly when a node fails, the algorithm would dynamically locally restore the backbone to make it still connect and cover all nodes. Theoretical analysis proved the maximum number of nodes the algorithm uses during constructing and restoring the backbone. Simulation analysis showed that the algorithm is better than other algorithms in terms of energy efficiency, scalability and reliability.Number of references:15Main heading:Trees (mathematics)Controlled terms:Algorithms - Energy efficiency - Forestry - Reliability analysis - Restoration - Sensor networks - TopologyUncontrolled terms:Dominating tree - Heterogeneous sensor networks - Low costs - Restoration algorithm - Simulation analysis - Virtual backboneClassification code:921.4 Combinatorial Mathematics, Includes Graph Theory, Set Theory - 921 Mathematics - 913 Production Planning and Control; Manufacturing - 821.0 Woodlands and Forestry - 732 Control Devices - 723 Computer Software, Data Handling and Applications - 525.2 Energy Conservation - 409 Civil Engineering, General - 402 Buildings and TowersDOI:10.3969/j.issn.1000-436X.2012.10.010Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

The direct electrochemistry of GOx and glucose sensing at MWCNTs-SnS<inf>2</inf> modified glassy carbon electrode were studied. Compared with single MWCNTs or SnS<inf>2</inf>, the MWCNTs-SnS<inf>2</inf> film has larger surface area and provides a more favorable microenvironment for facilitating the electron transfer between enzyme and electrode surface.

The immobilized enzyme on MWCNTs-SnS<inf>2</inf> composite film retained its native structure and bioactivity and showed a surface controlled, reversible two-proton and two-electron transfer reaction with a apparent electron transfer rate constant of 3.96s^-1. The constructed glucose biosensor exhibits wider linear range from 2.0&times;10^-5M to 1.95&times;10^-3M, much lower detection limit of 4.0&times;10^-6M at signal-to-noise of 3 and higher sensitivity of 21.65mAM^-1cm^-2 than our previous nanoflake-like SnS<inf>2</inf>-based glucose sensor.

The red-shift of the Raman peak with decrease of the etching rate indicates a progressive increase of tensile strain in Si at the interface, which induces the shortening of the length of the Si-O bond confirmed by the Fourier transform infrared spectrometer investigations. &copy; 2012 Elsevier B.V.Number of references:22Main heading:SiliconControlled terms:Defect density - Defects - Etching - Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy - Lead - Nanowires - Silicon oxides - TitaniumUncontrolled terms:Etching rate - Fourier transform infrared spectrometer - Interface defects - Metal-assisted chemical etching - Raman peak - Red shift - Silicon nanowires - SiNW - SiO bondClassification code:933 Solid State Physics - 804 Chemical Products Generally - 801 Chemistry - 761 Nanotechnology - 951 Materials Science - 712.1.1 Single Element Semiconducting Materials - 542.3 Titanium and Alloys - 531 Metallurgy and Metallography - 423 Non Mechanical Properties and Tests of Building Materials - 546.1 Lead and AlloysDOI:10.1016/j.physb.2012.10.002Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Publisher:Elsevier, P.O. Box 211, Amsterdam, 1000 AE, NetherlandsAbstract:Casein micelle stabilized sub-10nm gold nanoparticles (GNPs) which are hydrophilic and biocompatible, were synthesized in aqueous medium by chemical reduction of HAuCl<inf>4</inf> in the presence of amphiphilic protein aggregates, casein micelles. The prepared GNPs were evidenced by UV-vis spectroscopy, TEM, FTIR, and XRD analysis. The size of the GNPs can be controlled easily by adjusting casein concentration and the environment pH in the system. Furthermore, casein micelle stabilized GNPs function as effective catalyst to activate the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (to form 4-aminophenol) in the presence of NaBH<inf>4</inf>. The catalytic activity of GNPs depends upon the nanoparticle size, the casein concentration and the pH used for synthesis. On the basis of their excellent colloidal stability and catalytic function, and biocompatible surface, the casein micelle-stabilized GNPs hold great promise for being used in nanoscience and biomedical applications. &copy; 2012 Elsevier B.V.Number of references:50Main heading:CaseinControlled terms:Biosynthesis - Catalysis - Catalyst activity - Gold - Medical applications - Metal nanoparticles - Micelles - Ultraviolet visible spectroscopyUncontrolled terms:4-aminophenols - 4-Nitrophenol - Amphiphilics - Aqueous medium - Biocompatible surfaces - Biomedical applications - Casein micelles - Catalytic applications - Catalytic functions - Chemical reduction - Colloidal Stability - FTIR - Gold Nanoparticles - Nanoparticle sizes - Protein aggregates - UV-vis spectroscopy - XRD analysisClassification code:804.1 Organic Compounds - 802.2 Chemical Reactions - 801.3 Colloid Chemistry - 761 Nanotechnology - 741.3 Optical Devices and Systems - 547.1 Precious Metals - 461.1 Biomedical EngineeringDOI:10.1016/j.colsurfa.2012.08.050Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Beyond this feature, high energy density and transportability make hydrogen an attractive candidate for the future energy systems. Hydrogen gas can be harvested from a wide selection of hydrogen enriched molecules through different reforming processes. Among a variety of fuel candidates, water is a readily available resource; and electrolysis of water can take place in relatively low temperature and low pressure. In this paper, solar energy is harvested by the photovoltaic panels, and processed using a dc-dc converter to supply an alkaline electrolyzer. Due to the complexity of the electrolyzer load, the small signal model is obtained firstly using the current/load perturbation method at the rated operation condition. In order to supply low ripple current to the electrolyzer stack, a dual-phase synchronous

buck converter is designed and implemented in a dedicated hardware prototype. The control algorithm is implemented in a digital signal controller and the steady state performance of the system is experimentally verified. &copy; 2012 IEEE.Number of references:11Main heading:Solar power generationControlled terms:Algorithms - DC-DC converters - Digital control systems - Electrolytic cells - Fossil fuels - Hydrogen - Hydrogen production - Photovoltaic cells - Solar energyUncontrolled terms:Buck converters - Dedicated hardware - Digital control - Digital signal controllers - Electrolysis of waters - Electrolyzers - Future energies - High energy densities - Hydrogen gas - Hydrogen yields - Low pressures - Low ripple - Low temperatures - Model identification - NO emissions - Operation conditions - Perturbation method - Photovoltaic panels - Power electronic modules - Reforming process - Small signal model - Solar-powered - Steady state performance - Synchronous buck converter - Wide selectionClassification code:804 Chemical Products Generally - 802.1 Chemical Plants and Equipment - 741.3 Optical Devices and Systems - 723 Computer Software, Data Handling and Applications - 921 Mathematics - 722.4 Digital Computers and Systems - 702.3 Solar Cells - 615.2 Solar Power - 522 Gas Fuels - 704.1 Electric ComponentsDOI:10.1109/APPEEC.2012.6307202Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, GermanyAbstract:The development status and research progress of inclined plate sedimentation equipment, as well as the research progress of how to prevent the blockage of sedimentation channel were discussed. The main disadvantages of traditional inclined plate thickener were analyzed. A kind of new type lamella thickener which could vibrate the inclined plate was introduced. The core technologies of the vibration lamella thickener are that the inclined plate sedimentation channels are integrated and modularized, the integral sloping plate group module are suspension supported by using springs and each module mounted an independent mechanical vibration excite. By implementing an intermittent high frequency weak vibration to the sloping plate group module, the regular automatic cleaning of the surface of inclined plate was carried out, which could prevent the fine materials adhesive to the oblique plate and guarantee the settlement channel is not blocked, so as to achieve the purpose of long-term stable operation of the equipment. Vibration lamella thickener has been used in many concentrators successfully, including the classification of feed pulp, desliming and thicken of middle materials, dewatering and thickening of concentrate and tailing, and paste discharge of tailing thicken at al. It is highly valued from clients by their good application in practical production. &copy; (2012) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.Number of references:25Main heading:Vibrations (mechanical)Controlled terms:Applications - Design - Pulp materials - SedimentsUncontrolled terms:Automatic cleaning - Blockage of settlement channel - Core technology - Desliming - Group modules - High frequency - Inclined plate - Mineral processing plants - Modularized - Practical production - Research progress - Stable operation - Vibration lamella thickenerClassification code:408 Structural Design - 451.2 Air Pollution Control - 483 Soil Mechanics and Foundations - 811.3 Cellulose, Lignin and Derivatives - 931.1 MechanicsDOI:10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMM.215-216.333Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Box 1254, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, D-38670, GermanyAbstract:According to the limitations of conventional method of optimization design for the process parameters in the hydroforming process, a new simulation method has been proposed for the optimization of the process parameters, which is the integration of the neighborhood cultivation genetic algorithm (NCGA) and the dynamic explicit algorithm based on finite element method (FEM). The new method has been adopted for the optimization of the hydroforming loading path of an instrument panel beam and the process parameters are the internal pressure vs. time and the axial feeding displacement vs. time. It is concluded that the acquired loading path through the new method is more optimal than the one through the trial and error method. In addition, the new method can simultaneously generate multiple Pareto-optimum solutions in one computation and provide more freedom for the designer's decision making of the process parameters. &copy; (2012) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.Number of references:4Main heading:LoadingControlled terms:Design - Finite element method - Genetic algorithms - Metal forming - Multiobjective optimization - Tubes (components)Uncontrolled terms:Axial feeding - Conventional methods - Dynamic explicit algorithm - Finite

Box 211, Amsterdam, 1000 AE, NetherlandsAbstract:Nonporous thiol-functionalized silica spheres (SiO<inf>2</inf>SH) were prepared by hydrolysis of 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane. Then, sulfonic acid functionalized silica microspheres (SiO<inf>2</inf>SO<inf>3</inf>H) were prepared through direct oxidization of SiO<inf>2</inf>SH by H<inf>2</inf>O<inf>2</inf> and used as adsorbent. The structure and surface of the adsorbent were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy, N<inf>2</inf> adsorption-desorption isotherm, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and electron diffraction spectroscope. The BET surface area of the particles is only 1.58m²/g. However, the content of thiol group on particle surface was as high as 36% (wt%). It was found that the SiO<inf>2</inf>SO<inf>3</inf>H could effectively remove heavy metal ions (Pb²⁺, Cd²⁺, and Cu²⁺) in solution through electrostatic interaction. When SiO<inf>2</inf>SO<inf>3</inf>H with the particle size of

0.95&mu;m was used as adsorbent, the adsorption capacity for Pb²⁺, Cd²⁺, and Cu²⁺ reaches 635, 499, and 260mg/g, respectively. The strong adsorption ability of SiO<inf>2</inf>SO<inf>3</inf>H can be attributed to the nonporous particles with rich sulfonic group facilitating the mass transport of metal ions to the active sites. The adsorption isotherm data obey the Freundlich model. Kinetics of the metal ions removal was found to follow pseudo-second-order rate equation. pH values have only small influence on the adsorption capacity in the studied pH range. Consecutive adsorption-desorption experiments showed that SiO<inf>2</inf>SO<inf>3</inf>H could be reused with only a slight loss in the adsorption capacity. &copy; 2012 Elsevier B.V.Number of references:36Main heading:AdsorptionControlled terms:Adsorption isotherms - Copper - Dyes - Field emission microscopes - Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy - Heavy metals - Lead - Metal ions - Microspheres - pH - SilicaUncontrolled terms:3-Mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane - Active site - Adsorption ability - Adsorption capacities - Adsorption desorption - Adsorption desorption isotherms - BET surface area - Field emission scanning electron microscopy - Freundlich models - Metal ions removal - Nonporous - Nonporous particles - Nonporous silica - Oxidization - Particle surface - pH range - pH value - Pseudo-second-order rate equation - Silica Sphere - Sulfonic acid - Sulfonic acid-functionalized - Sulfonic group - Thiol groupsClassification code:812 Ceramics, Refractories and Glass - 803 Chemical Agents and Basic Industrial Chemicals - 802.3 Chemical Operations - 801 Chemistry - 818 Rubber and Elastomers - 741.3 Optical Devices and Systems - 544.1 Copper - 533 Ore Treatment and Metal Refining - 531 Metallurgy and Metallography - 546.1 Lead and AlloysDOI:10.1016/j.colsurfa.2012.08.059Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

It was found that the InGaN nanodots were 20 nm in diameter and 5 nm in height, approximately. After the growth of two periods of InGaN/GaN quantum wells on the surface of In-GaN nanodots, nanodot structure still formed in the In-GaN well layer caused by the enhanced phase separation phenomenon. Dual-color emissions with different behavior were observed from photoluminescence (PL) spectrum of InGaN nanodots hybrid with InGaN/GaN quantum wells. A significant blueshift and a linewidth broadening were measured for the low-energy peak as the increase of PL excitation power, while a slight blueshift and a linewidth narrowing occurred for the high-energy peak. Accordingly, these two peaks were assigned to be from the In-rich nanodots and quantized state transition from the InGaN/GaN quantum wells with indium content, respectively. &copy; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2012.Number of references:26Main heading:Semiconductor quantum wellsControlled terms:Gallium nitride - Indium - Phase separationUncontrolled terms:Blue shift - High energy - Indium content - InGaN/GaN quantum well - Linewidth broadening - Linewidth narrowing - Low-energy peaks - Nanodot structures - Nanodots - Photoluminescence spectrum - PL excitations - Quantized stateClassification code:549.3 Nonferrous Metals and Alloys excluding Alkali and Alkaline Earth Metals - 641.1 Thermodynamics - 714.2 Semiconductor Devices and Integrated Circuits - 804.2 Inorganic CompoundsDOI:10.1007/s00339-012-7112-2Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Box 211, Amsterdam, 1000 AE, NetherlandsAbstract:Thermally reduced graphene oxide (TRGO) was used as an excellent electrocatalyst for the construction of electrochemical sensor for simultaneous determination of dihydroxybenzene isomers including hydroquinone (HQ), catechol (CC) and resorcinol (RC). The surface morphology and structure of TRGO were investigated by utilizing transmission electron microscope, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscope, Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The electrode modified with TRGO shows excellent electrocatalytic activity toward the oxidation of HQ, CC and RC. As a result, the oxidation peaks of three isomers in pH 6.0 PBS can be clearly discriminated due to large peak potential separation among them. In addition, HQ and CC can be simultaneously determined by using differential pulse voltammetry without any separation step. Under the optimized condition, the detection limits of HQ and CC are 0.75 and 0.8 &mu;M (S/N = 3) with linear ranges of 1-500 &mu;M in the presence of 50 &mu;M isomer, respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied to the simultaneous determination of CC and HQ in synthetic water sample with reliable recovery. The proposed sensor has some important advantages such as low cost, ease of preparation, good stability and high reproducibility. Therefore, the present work promises for the application of graphene modified electrode in the simultaneous determination of multiple analytes. &copy; 2012 Elsevier B.V.Number of references:34Main heading:IsomersControlled terms:Atomic force microscopy - Electrocatalysts - Graphene - Ketones - Phenols - Raman spectroscopy - Scanning electron microscopy - Separation - Transmission electron microscopy - Voltammetry - X ray diffractionUncontrolled terms:Atomic force microscope (AFM) - Detection limits - Differential pulse voltammetry - Dihydroxybenzenes - Electrocatalytic activity - Electrochemical analysis - Good stability - High reproducibility - Linear range - Low costs - Modified electrodes - Multiple analytes - Optimized conditions - Oxidation peak - Peak potentials - Reduced graphene oxides -

Previous studies have revealed Treg cell defects in patients with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTACS), but the mechanisms underlying these defects remain unclear. In this study, we found that the numbers of peripheral blood CD4⁺CD25⁺CD127^low Treg cells and CD4⁺CD25⁺CD127^lowCD45RA ⁺CD45RO^- naive Treg cells were lower in the NSTACS patients than in the chronic stable angina (CSA) and the chest pain syndrome (CPS) patients. However, the number of CD4⁺CD25⁺CD127 ^lowCD45RA^- CD45RO⁺ memory Treg cells was comparable in all of the groups. The frequency of CD4⁺CD25 ⁺CD127^lowCD45RO^- CD45RA⁺CD31 ⁺ recent thymic emigrant Treg cells and the T cell receptor excision circle content of purified Treg cells were lower in the NSTACS patients than in the CSA patients and the CPS controls. The spontaneous apoptosis of Treg cells (defined as CD4⁺CD25⁺CD127^low annexin V ⁺7-AAD^-) was increased in the NSTACS patients compared with the CSA and CPS groups. Furthermore, oxidized LDL could induce Treg cell apoptosis, and the oxidized LDL levels were significantly higher in the NSTACS patients than in the CSA and CPS groups. In accordance with the altered Treg cell levels, the concentration of TNF-&alpha; was increased in the NSTACS patients, resulting in a decreased IL-10/TNF-&alpha; ratio. These findings indicate that the impaired thymic output of Treg cells and their enhanced susceptibility to apoptosis in the periphery were responsible for Treg cell defects observed in the NSTACS patients. &copy; 2012 by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.Number of references:65Main heading:Cell deathControlled terms:Cell membranes - Defects - Information disseminationUncontrolled terms:Acute coronary syndromes - Annexins - Chest pain - Peripheral blood - T cell receptor - T cells - Treg cellsClassification code:423 Non Mechanical Properties and Tests of Building Materials - 461.2

Box 782, Beijing, 100011, ChinaAbstract:To improve the understanding of the soil aching effect in the embankment fill, a series of model tests and finite element analysis were carried out. It is found that for low fill height relative to the net pile spacing, H/(s-a)&le1, the failure surface is vertical or slightly inclined which starts from the pile edge and goes through the whole fill height. For H/(s-a)&ge;1.5, the developed bulb shaped rupture surface is located near the pile head and can be approximated as a logarithmic spiral surface. By using the failure surface shape determined from the model test and FEM analyses, a three dimensional simplified method to evaluate the soil arching effect was proposed. The computed results were compared with FEM results and the experimental data collected from literatures, it is found that the present simplified method can predict reliable results.Number of references:15Main heading:PilesControlled terms:Embankments - Failure modes - Finite element method - Geologic models - Soils - Three dimensionalUncontrolled terms:Embankment fill - Failure surface - FEM analysis - Fill height - Logarithmic spiral - Model tests - Pile head - Pile spacing - Rupture surface - Simplified method - Soil archingClassification code:921 Mathematics - 902.1 Engineering Graphics - 483.1 Soils and Soil Mechanics - 483 Soil Mechanics and Foundations - 921.6 Numerical Methods - 481.1 Geology - 421 Strength of Building Materials; Mechanical Properties - 408.2 Structural Members and Shapes - 405 Construction Equipment and Methods; Surveying - 441 Dams and Reservoirs; Hydro DevelopmentDOI:10.3969/j.issn.1674-4764.2012.05.012Database:CompendexCompilation and indexing terms, Copyright 2012 Elsevier Inc.

The resulting samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV-vis spectroscopy, laser Raman spectroscopy (LRS) and N<inf>2</inf> adsorption-desorption measurements. It was found that the TiO<inf>2</inf> nanoparticles existed in the anatase phase and the titanoniobate nanosheets were still maintained after nitrogen doping. The obtained nitrogen-doped nanohybrids showed a greatly expanded surface area with a mesoporous structure and the doped nitrogen atoms were located in the interstitial sites of TiO<inf>2</inf>, giving rise to the visible light response. The catalytic activities of the obtained samples were evaluated by the photodegradation of rhodamine B (RhB) solution under visible light irradiation. The obtained N-doped nanohybrid had a higher activity than N-doped HTiNbO<inf>5</inf> nanosheets and N-doped TiO <inf>2</inf>, indicating the synergetic effect of TiO<inf>2</inf> nanoparticles and HTiNbO<inf>5</inf> nanosheets. The dye molecules were mainly degraded to aliphatic organic compounds and mostly further mineralized to CO<inf>2</inf> and/or CO, rather than being simply decolorized.

Photocatalytic degradation of Methyl Orange in polluted water by these materials (CTMAB-EP, TiO<inf>2</inf>/CTMAB-EP, TiO<inf>2</inf>-EP and EP), adsorption/ degradation kinetics and relevant factors affecting degradation effects were studied. The results showed that EP had little ability to remove Methyl Orange in water, while EP modified with CTMAB and/or TiO <inf>2</inf> could remove Methyl Orange (MO) significantly, and TiO <inf>2</inf>/CTMAB-EP treatment showed the highest removal rate in all treatments. Removal effects of the materials were influenced by dosage of material, shaking time and initial concentration of MO in water.
