An Energy-Saving Method by Balancing the Load of Operations for Hydraulic Press (2017)

Large energy loss caused by mismatching between the installed power and demanded power, as well as the wasted potential energy, is a serious problem for a hydraulic press. In order to reduce the energy loss, an energy-saving method by balancing the load of operations of presses was proposed based on the analysis of energy flow characteristics of the hydraulic system. In the method, the motor pumps in the drive system are shared in different time by a unit composed of two hydraulic presses so that the energy loss caused by unloading operations can be reduced. Furthermore, these two presses are combined, and the excessive energy from one press can serve as the input energy to the other one during some operations to improve the energy efficiency of the drive system, and the potential energy can be utilized directly. Meanwhile, operation durations of these combined presses are optimized for coordination of working processes. The method was applied to two hydraulic presses in a tandem line, and the energy consumption was obtained by quantifying the characteristics of conversion components. Results indicate that for a single press, 36% of electrical energy can be saved in the investigated forming processes.
Cyberworlds--Theory, Design and Potential-- (2005)

Cyberworlds are being formed in cyberspaces as computational spaces. Now cyberspaces are rapidly expanding on the Web either intentionally or spontaneously, with or without design. Widespread and intensive local activities are melting each other on the web globally to create cyberworlds. The major key players of cyberworlds include e-finance that trades a GDP-equivalent a day and e-manufacturing that is transforming industrial production into Web shopping of product components and assembly factories. Lacking proper theory and design, cyberworlds have continued to grow chaotic and are now out of human understanding and control. This research first presents a generic theoretical framework and design based on algebraic topology, and also provides an axiomatic approach to theorize the potentials of cyberworlds.
ACTION SPECTRA FOR LIGHT‐INDUCED DE‐EPOXIDATION AND EPOXIDATION OF XANTHOPHYLLS IN SPINACH LEAF* (1968)

Abstract— The action spectra for violaxanthin de‐epoxidation and zeaxanthin epoxidation in New Zealand spinach leaf segments, Tetragonia expansa , were determined at equal incident quanta of 2·0 × 10 15 quanta cm ‐2 sec ‐1 . Precise action spectra were not obtained due to variable leaf activity. The de‐epoxidation action spectrum had major peaks at approximately 480 and 648 nm. Blue light was slightly more effective than red light and little activity was observed beyond 700 nm. The epoxidation action spectrum showed major peaks at around 440 and 670 nm. Blue light was more effective than red light and light beyond 700 nm showed definite activity. The net result of de‐epoxidation and epoxidation is a cyclic scheme , the violaxanthin cycle, which consumes O 2 and photoproducts. The action spectra indicate that the violaxanthin cycle is more active in blue than in red light and therefore could account for O 2 uptake stimulated by blue light. However, the violaxanthin cycle is not the pathway for O 2 uptake by photosynthetic system 1. It was suggested that the violaxanthin cycle may function as a pathway for the consumption of excess photoproducts generated in blue light or the conversion of these photo‐products to other forms of energy.
FUEL PROCESSING FOR FUEL CELLS: EFFECTS ON CATALYST DURABILITY AND CARBON FORMATION (2001)

On-board production of hydrogen for fuel cells for automotive applications is a challenging developmental task. The fuel processor must show long term durability and under challenging conditions. Fuel processor catalysts in automotive fuel processors will be exposed to large thermal variations, vibrations, exposure to uncontrolled ambient conditions, and various impurities from ambient air and from fuel. For the commercialization of fuel processors, the delineation of effects on catalyst activity and durability are required. We are studying fuels and fuel constituent effects on the fuel processor system as part of the DOE Fuel Cells for Transportation program. Pure fuel components are tested to delineate the fuel component effect on the fuel processor and fuel processor catalysts. Component blends are used to simulate ''real fuels'', with various fuel mixtures being examined such as reformulated gasoline and naptha. The aliphatic, napthenic, olefin and aromatic content are simulated to represent the chemical kinetics of possible detrimental reactions, such as carbon formation, during fuel testing. Testing has examined the fuel processing performance of different fuel components to help elucidate the fuel constituent effects on fuel processing performance and upon catalyst durability. Testing has been conducted with vapor fuels, including natural gas and pure methane. The testing of pure methane and comparable testing with natural gas (97% methane) have shown some measurable differences in performance in the fuel processor. Major gasoline fuel constituents, such as aliphatic compounds, napthanes, and aromatics have been compared for their effect on the fuel processing performance. Experiments have been conducted using high-purity compounds to observe the fuel processing properties of the individual components and to document individual fuel component performance. The relative carbon formation of different fuel constituents have been measured by monitoring carbon via in situ laser optics, and by monitoring carbon buildup on the catalyst surface. The fuel processing performance of the individual components is compared with the fuel processing performance of blended fuel components and the reformulated gasoline to examine synergistic or detrimental effects the fuel components have in a real fuel blend.
过流式UV/H 2 O 2 反应器中阿特拉津降解动力学的测定及模拟评估 (2021)

UV-based advanced oxidation processes are promising in micropollutant removal from water with abundant relative researches accomplished in batch reactors, while the different flow pattern in practical flow-through UV reactors may lead to a varied reaction kinetic and process efficiency. In this study, the kinetics of atrazine (ATZ) degradation in flow-through UV/H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> reactors were investigated, and the impacts of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> concentration and internal reactor diameter on ATZ removal efficiency and the process energy efficiency were evaluated. The steady-state assumption (SSA) model was developed to predict the degradation kinetics of atrazine under various experimental conditions, and its accuracy was tested by comparing with experimental data. The results showed that the efficient degradation of ATZ occurred in flow-through UV/H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> reactors and it followed the pseudo first-order kinetics (R<sup>2</sup>&gt;0.95). Despite the fact that the flow was not fully mixed, SSA model exhibited good accuracy in predicting the degradation of target pollutant in flow-through reactors with deviations generally less than 20%. Within the investigated concentration range, ATZ degradation rate in different reactors increased with the rising of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> concentration, and reached 5.8×10<sup>−2</sup> s<sup>−1</sup> in the reactor with an internal diameter of 35 mm when H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> concentration was 0.2 mmol·L<sup>−1</sup>, which was 4 times as much as that in UV radiation alone. The increasing reactor diameter resulted in a low time-based ATZ degradation rate constant on account of the changes in average fluence rate, while had slight effect on the fluence-based ATZ degradation rate constant. Finally, based on the electrical energy per order (E<sub>EO</sub>) calculation, the energy efficiency in removing ATZ can be reduced by increasing H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> concentration and reactor diameter.
Isolation of the Bacteriophage DinoHI from Dichelobacter nodosus and its Interactions with other Integrated Genetic Elements (2008)

The Gram-negative anaerobic pathogen Dichelobacter nodosus carries several genetic elements that integrate into the chromosome. These include the intA, intB, intC and intD elements, which integrate adjacent to csrA and pnpA, two putative global regulators of virulence and the virulence-related locus, vrl, which integrates into ssrA. Treatment of D. nodosus strains with ultraviolet light resulted in the isolation of DinoHI, a member of the Siphoviridae and the first bacteriophage to be identified in D. nodosus. Part of the DinoHI genome containing the packaging site is found in all D. nodosus strains tested and is located at the end of the vrl, suggesting a role for DinoHI in the transfer of the vrl by transduction. Like the intB element, the DinoHI genome contains a copy of regA which has similarity to the repressors of lambdoid bacteriophages, suggesting that the maintenance of DinoHI and the intB element may be co-ordinately controlled.
Total Synthesis of Norcembrenolide B and Scabrolide D (2011)

An efficient stereoselective synthesis of norcembrenolide B (8) and scabrolide D (9) is reported. The strategy is inspired by biogenetic relationships of related cembrenoids. Central to this approach is the construction of norbipinnatin J which upon selective C2 deoxygenation and C8 oxygenation produces norrubifolide and norcoralloidolide A. A sequence of site-selective oxidations and skeletal reorganizations then yields, in a divergent manner, compounds 8 and 9. The studies allow revision of the proposed structure of scabrolide D (9), which is identical to norcembrenolide C.
Expression of flavonoid 3’-hydroxylase is controlled by P1, the regulator of 3-deoxyflavonoid biosynthesis in maize (2012)

An Ada code generator for VAX 11/780 with Unix (1980)

This paper describes the final phase of an Ada compiler which produces code for the VAX 11/780 running the Unix operating system. Problems encountered in the implementation of subprogram calls, parameter passing, function return values, and exception handling and discussed and their solutions outlined.An underlying requirement for the code generator has been speed of implementation consistent with being a test bed for an Ada implementation. To accomplish this, a common model for the target environment has been assumed. The assumptions include: the VAX is a stack machine, a single address space is used, only the general case is implemented (no optimization of special cases), the hardware does as much work as possible, run time routines for lengthy code sequences are acceptable, and the conventions given in the VAX architecture, hardware, and software manuals are used.The code generator has been running on PDP-10 with Tops-10, producing a VAX assembly language source program as output. it has been available to local users since the beginning of 1980.
<title>PUEO: the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope adaptive optics bonnette I: system description</title> (1994)

The Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope is developing an Adaptive Optics Instrument Adaptor for general use at its 3.6 m telescope. It consists of a 19 electrode, bimorph deformable mirror (1:6:12) used with a 19 sub-aperture, curvature wavefront sensor.
Nerve growth factor and mast cell distribution in the skin of patients with systemic sclerosis. (1993)

Nerve growth factor (NGF), a well-characterized neurotrophic factor, induces an increase in the number of mast cells (MCs) in the peripheral tissues of developing rats, as well as histamine release in fully differentiated MCs. Since MCs increase in the dermis of patients with early systemic sclerosis (SSc), we examined the distribution of NGF in the skin of patients affected by SSc. Immunohistochemical studies showed that NGF distribution was more intense in the dermis of patients with SSc than in the skin of controls. A possible correlation between MCs and NGF in disease activity is hypothesized.
A high-fat/high-protein, Atkins-type diet exacerbates Clostridioides (Clostridium) difficile infection in mice, whereas a high-carbohydrate diet protects (2019)

Abstract Clostridioides difficile (formerly Clostridium difficile ) infection (CDI) can result from the disruption of the resident gut microbiota. Western diets and popular weight-loss diets drive large changes in the gut microbiome; however, the literature is conflicted with regard to the effect of diet on CDI. Using the hypervirulent strain C. difficile R20291 (RT027) in a mouse model of antibiotic-induced CDI, we assessed disease outcome and microbial community dynamics in mice fed two high-fat diets in comparison with a high-carbohydrate diet and a standard rodent diet. The two high-fat diets exacerbated CDI, with a high-fat/high-protein, Atkins-like diet leading to severe CDI and 100% mortality, and a high-fat/low-protein, medium-chain triglyceride (MCT)-like diet inducing highly variable CDI outcomes. In contrast, mice fed a high-carbohydrate diet were protected from CDI, despite high refined carbohydrate and low fiber content. 28 members of the Lachnospiraceae and Ruminococcaceae decreased in abundance due to diet and/or antibiotic treatment; these organisms may compete with C. difficile for amino acids and protect healthy animals from CDI in the absence of antibiotics. Together, these data suggest that antibiotic treatment might lead to loss of C. difficile competitors and create a favorable environment for C. difficile proliferation and virulence that is intensified by high-fat/high-protein diets; in contrast, high-carbohydrate diets might be protective regardless of the source of carbohydrate.
Synthesis of Practical Three-Input Majority Logic Networks (1964)

This paper deals with a method of realizing switching functions with three-input majority gates, utilizing a modification of the theory of Akers [1]. This approach attempts to minimize the total number of elements used for both gating and delay. The method derived is suitable for implementation on a digital computer and a program was written for the Burroughs 220 computer which produces excellent results for switching functions of 6 variables or less. Results of sample programs are given and limitations of the method are discussed.
Magnetic structures and out-of-plane magnetic anisotropy at the exchange bias interface:Co∕FeMn (2004)

The magnetic structures and anisotropy at the compensated ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic $\mathrm{Co}∕\mathrm{FeMn}$ interface are investigated by the highly precise first principles full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave method that incorporates intra-atomic noncollinear magnetism in order to understand the magnetic complexity involved in the spin-flop coupling and the presence of intra-atomic noncollinear magnetism. The self-consistent results predict that the $\mathrm{Fe}$ moments in the $\mathrm{FeMn}$ layer reorient away from their directions in bulk $\mathrm{FeMn}$ so as to be parallel to the $\mathrm{Co}$ moment direction---a reorientation that induces an out-of-plane magnetic anisotropy. These results appear to support and confirm recent experimental x-ray magnetic circular dichroism findings that rule out spin-flop coupling as the mechanism for exchange bias in this system.
Effect of heavy-ion irradiation on transport properties of YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub x/ films (1997)

We have investigated the effect of heavy-ion irradiation on the transport properties of YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub x/ thin films. Parallel columnar defects to the c axis and crossed columnar defects were introduced into films by heavy-ion irradiation with dose equivalent to 1 or 2 T vortex density. The electrical transport properties including resistivity, critical current density, and the Hall resistivity were measured as a function of temperature, applied magnetic field, and fluence. The irreversibility line defined as an onset of dissipation progressively shifted to higher temperature with increasing dosage and showed its dependence on inclination angle. Critical current also showed a clear enhancement compared to the unirradiated samples. The Hall scaling behavior and the Hall conductivity were modified after heavy-ion irradiation.
On Representation of Solutions of Abstract Fractional Differential Equations (2019)

In this paper we discuss about the solution representation of abstract fractional differential equations with different conditions on the operator A. The solution representation obtained by using Mittag-Leffler function is correct when the operator A is bounded. However when the operator A is unbounded the representation derived in [1] seems to be incorrect. We also obtain a suitable form of solution to stochastic fractional differential equation with unbounded operators.
Performance Evaluation of Heat pump System using R32 and HFO-mixed Refrigerant in High Ambient Temperature. (2016)

R32 was selected as the alternative for R410A for mini-split air conditioners/heat pumps and already phased out R410A in residential market in Japan. Recently several new alternatives for R410A have been proposed in order to achieve more close capacity to R410A and mitigate high discharge temperature issue of R32 as well as to reduce energy consumption. We selected R32 from among the candidates a few years ago; however it is important to continue comparing it to new candidates in search for an even better choice. We carried out performance evaluation for the lower GWP refrigerant R32/R125/R1234yf (67/7/26) and R32. We also conducted the experiments in cooling operation at high ambient temperature. As the result, we found that the COP of R32 is superior to the blend because of its latent heat characteristic. In particular, as condensing temperature increases such as at high ambient temperature operation, latent heat of the blend obtains even smaller. Therefore, advantage of R32 in COP becomes more significant at high ambient conditions. From the above, we consider that R32 is still the best refrigerant at present. However, we will continue investigation in search for a better refrigerant.
Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (1997)

Now in its eleventh printing, Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop remains the only book devoted exclusively to the theory and operation of Arbitrated Loop technology. Recently revised, Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop includes the most recent changes and enhancements in the second generation of the Arbitrated Loop standard (FC-AL-2).Using more than 140 figures and 40 tables to illustrate the essential concepts and operation of the loop, this book proceeds step-by-step from basic loop concepts through detailed examination of all loop protocols. Unlike other texts, including the standards themselves, Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop expands on key factors such as Arbitrated Loop performance, hubs, and the design of high-availability loops. It's the ultimate resource for anyone involved in this dynamic technology.
Free Energy-Based Virtual Screening and Optimization of RNase H Inhibitors of HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase (2016)

We report the results of a binding free energy-based virtual screening campaign of a library of 77 α-hydroxytropolone derivatives against the challenging RNase H active site of the reverse transcriptase (RT) enzyme of human immunodeficiency virus-1. Multiple protonation states, rotamer states, and binding modalities of each compound were individually evaluated. The work involved more than 300 individual absolute alchemical binding free energy parallel molecular dynamics calculations and over 1 million CPU hours on national computing clusters and a local campus computational grid. The thermodynamic and structural measures obtained in this work rationalize a series of characteristics of this system useful for guiding future synthetic and biochemical efforts. The free energy model identified key ligand-dependent entropic and conformational reorganization processes difficult to capture using standard docking and scoring approaches. Binding free energy-based optimization of the lead compounds emerging from the virtual screen has yielded four compounds with very favorable binding properties, which will be the subject of further experimental investigations. This work is one of the few reported applications of advanced-binding free energy models to large-scale virtual screening and optimization projects. It further demonstrates that, with suitable algorithms and automation, advanced-binding free energy models can have a useful role in early-stage drug-discovery programs.
Accumulation of 5-oxoproline in myocardial dysfunction and the protective effects of OPLAH (2017)

In response to heart failure (HF), the heart reacts by repressing adult genes and expressing fetal genes, thereby returning to a more fetal-like gene profile. To identify genes involved in this process, we carried out transcriptional analysis on murine hearts at different stages of development and on hearts from adult mice with HF. Our screen identified Oplah, encoding for 5-oxoprolinase, a member of the gamma-glutamyl cycle that functions by scavenging 5-oxoproline. OPLAH depletion occurred as a result of cardiac injury, leading to elevated 5-oxoproline and oxidative stress, whereas OPLAH overexpression improved cardiac function after ischemic injury. In HF patients, we observed elevated plasma 5-oxoproline, which was associated with a worse clinical outcome. Understanding and modulating fetal-like genes in the failing heart may lead to potential diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic options in HF.

A Re-Examination of Spheromak Experiments and Opportunities (1996)

The results of spheromak experiments are reexamined in light of the hypothesis that the core energy confinement is considerably better than the global confinement and that it extrapolates favorably with magnetic Reynolds number S. The data in decaying spheromaks are found to be consistent with the hypothesis and with magnetic fluctuations scaling as S−1/2 and determining the electron thermal conductivity. No conclusion is drawn from the data for sustained spheromaks, indicating the importance of a new experiment to determine core energy confinement while helicity is injected. The characteristics of such an experiment are discussed, including the importance of using modern vacuum and wall-conditioning techniques and of minimizing magnetic field errors.
