The effects of various combinations and concentrations of 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA), gibberellic acid (GA_(3)), and naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) on growth and non-tube rapid propagation were assessed through a single-factor testing and response surface methodology. The results indicated that 6-BA at 60 mg/L, GA_(3) at 150 mg/L, and NAA at 30 mg/L were the most effective concentrations for promoting leaf buds formation in the single-factor analysis. Response surface methodology clarified the sensitivity of the proliferation rate of lateral buds to the three factors, with 6-BA being the most influential, followed by GA_(3) and NAA. The increase in leaf area was most significantly influenced by NAA, then GA_(3), and least by 6-BA, while the increase in plant height was most responsive to GA_(3), followed by 6-BA, and then NAA. The ideal concentrations of plant growth regulators were established as 6-BA at 43 mg/L, GA_(3) at 169 mg/L, and NAA at 36 mg/L. Under these conditions, the lateral bud number per plant was 2.78, with a leaf area increment of 2.87 cm2 and a plant height increment of 2.67 cm.展开更多

A quadratic equation model for decomposition rate was built and effects of main factors and their corresponding relationships were obtained. The results of the statistical analysis show that the decomposition rate of ammonium metavanadate is significantly affected by calcination temperature and calcination time. The optimized calcination conditions are as follows： calcination temperature 669.71 K, calcination time 35.9 min and sample mass 4.25 g. The decomposition rate of ammonium metavanadate is 99.71%,which coincides well with experimental value of 99.27% under the optimized conditions, suggesting that regressive equation fits the decomposition rates perfectly. XRD reveals that it is feasible to prepare the V2O5 by calcination from ammonium metavanadate using response surface methodology.展开更多

In this work, a method was established for identifying the extrusion process window considering temperature control using response surface methodology. Firstly, the response surface models, which correlate temperature rise and peak temperature to key extrusion parameters, have been developed by orthogonal regression based on finite element calculated data. Secondly, the coupled effects of the key extrusion parameters on the temperature rise and peak temperature have been disclosed based on the regression models. Lastly, suitable extrusion processing windows, which are described by contour map of peak temperature in the space of extrusion speed and initial billet temperature, have been established for different extrusion ratios. Using the identified process window, a suitable combination of the key extrusion parameters can be determined conveniently and quickly.展开更多

The bilayer tablet containing a fast release layer（FRL） and a sustained release layer（SRL） provided an initial burst release of nimesulide, followed by the sustained release for a period of time. The optimal formulation obtained was as follows：（I） the formulation of FRL： nimesulide, 50 mg; lactose, 92 mg; starch, 22 mg; CCMC-Na, 14 mg; PVP K30, 1 mg; micronized silica gel, 1 mg; magnesium stearate, 0.9 mg; and iron oxide red, 0.1 mg; and（II） the formulation of SRL： nimesulide, 150 mg; HPMC K100LV, 26 mg; HPMC K4M, 33 mg; lactose, 54 mg; PVP K30, 1 mg; micronized silica gel, 1 mg; and magnesium stearate, 0.9 mg. According to the optimal formulation, the biphasic type of release was identified. The in vitro drug dissolution from the bilayer tablets was sustained for about 16 h after releasing 15% of drug in the first 10 min. The developed nimesulide bilayer tablets with improved efficacy can perform therapeutically better than the conventional tablets.展开更多

文摘Addressing these water management challenges requires a comprehensive and integrated approach.Floods and other water-related challenges in urban areas can have an impact on land values.However,the lack of studies has developed a comprehensive index methodology related to examining floods and land value relationships for urban areas.Therefore,the main purpose of this study is to develop a comprehensive index methodology related to examining floods and land value relationships for urban areas that is called a Flood-Adjusted Land Value Index(FALVI)Methodology.This paper illustrates the importance of the proposed FALVI methodology to determine the relationship between flood events and land value.Important variables within three main aspects—environmental,socio,and historical flood variables—would be elaborated and measured by GIS-based analysis.It provides a more accurate and thorough assessment of property values by taking flood risk variables into account throughout the valuation process.This methodology is also regarded as an essential methodology for examining floods and land value links in metropolitan areas.FALVI can help guide government strategies on flood management,land use planning,and catastrophe risk reduction.By identifying high-risk locations,governments can prioritize flood mitigation measures and enact restrictions that prevent development in susceptible areas.Urban areas in certain watershed systems can be kept viable for the long term by carefully reviewing this methodology and implementing suitable land management strategies.

文摘In situ recycling is one of the most effective methods to dispose of earth pressure balance(EPB)shield waste muck with residual foaming agents with high moisture content.In this context,response surface methodology(RSM)was employed to quantify the effects of independent variables,including flocculant dosage,defoamer dosage,and muck drying mass(MDM)and their interactions on defoaming-flocculation-dewatering indices.The polymeric aluminum chloride(PACL)and hydroxy silicone oil-glycerol polypropylene ether(H-G)were selected as the flocculant and defoamer.The contents of surfactants and foam stabilizers in residual foaming agents were determined using the proposed empirical equation.The defoaming ratio,antifoaming ratio,turbidity,moisture content,filtration loss ratio,and fall cone penetration depth were considered as dependent variables.The accuracy of developed RSM models was verified by the analysis results of variance,residuals,and paired t-test.Combined with the desirability approach,an optimal mixing ratio of 0.078 wt%PACL,0.016 wt%H-G,and 27.882 wt%MDM was recommended,leading to a defoaming ratio of 98.34 vol%for residual foams and a moisture content of 56.72 wt%for pressure-filtration cakes.Our findings were demonstrated to be able to provide useful guidance for prediction and optimization of the in situ recycling indicators of EPB shield waste muck in metro tunnel construction sites.

文摘Aiming at addressing the issues of unclear dynamic response mechanisms and insufficient quantification of temperature coupling effects in building structures under long-duration blast loads,this study investigates typical composite beam-slab structures through integrated blast shock tube experiments and multiscale numerical simulations using Voronoi-coupled Finite-Discrete Element Method(VoroFDEM).The research systematically reveals the dynamic response mechanisms and damage evolution patterns of composite beam-slab structures subjected to prolonged blast loading.An environmenttemperature-coupled P-I curve damage assessment system is established,and a rapid evaluation method based on image crack characteristics is proposed,achieving innovative transition from traditional mechanical indicators to intelligent recognition paradigms.Results demonstrate that composite beam-slab structures exhibit three-phase failure modes:elastic vibration,plastic hinge formation,and global collapse.Numerical simulations identify the brittle-to-ductile transition temperature threshold at-10℃,and establish a temperature-dependent piecewise function-based P-I curve prediction model,whose overpressure asymptote displays nonlinear temperature sensitivity within-50-30℃.A novel dual-mode evaluation methodology integrating Voro-FDEM numerical simulations with image-based damage feature recognition is developed,enabling quantitative mapping between crack area and destruction levels.These findings provide theoretical foundations and technical pathways for rapid blast damage assessment and protective engineering design.

文摘The objective of this study was to determine the optimal proportions of plant growth regulators for growth and non-tube rapid propagation of Cymbidium tortisepalum var. longibracteatum;seedlings were utilized as the material. The effects of various combinations and concentrations of 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA), gibberellic acid (GA_(3)), and naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) on growth and non-tube rapid propagation were assessed through a single-factor testing and response surface methodology. The results indicated that 6-BA at 60 mg/L, GA_(3) at 150 mg/L, and NAA at 30 mg/L were the most effective concentrations for promoting leaf buds formation in the single-factor analysis. Response surface methodology clarified the sensitivity of the proliferation rate of lateral buds to the three factors, with 6-BA being the most influential, followed by GA_(3) and NAA. The increase in leaf area was most significantly influenced by NAA, then GA_(3), and least by 6-BA, while the increase in plant height was most responsive to GA_(3), followed by 6-BA, and then NAA. The ideal concentrations of plant growth regulators were established as 6-BA at 43 mg/L, GA_(3) at 169 mg/L, and NAA at 36 mg/L. Under these conditions, the lateral bud number per plant was 2.78, with a leaf area increment of 2.87 cm2 and a plant height increment of 2.67 cm.

文摘Practical applications of desulfurization gypsum are limited owing to its brittleness and low strength.To overcome these challenges,researchers have developed engineered desulfurization gypsum composites(EDGCs)by incorporating ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene(UHMWPE)fiber and sulfoaluminate cement(SAC).The mix ratio was optimized using response surface methodology(RSM).Experimental testing of EDGC under compressive and tensile loads led to the creation of a regression model that investigates the influence of variables and their interactions on the material’s compressive and tensile strengths.Additionally,microscopic morphology and hydration product composition were analyzed to explore the influence mechanism.The results indicated that EDGC’s compressive strength increased by up to 38.4%owing to a decreased water-binder ratio and higher SAC content.Similarly,tensile strength increased by up to 38.6%owing to increased SAC and fiber content.Moreover,EDGC demonstrated excellent strain-hardening behavior and multiple cracking characteristics,achieving a maximum tensile strain of nearly 3%.The research findings provide valuable insights for optimizing the performance of desulfurization gypsum.

文摘Parameters of technique to prepare vanadium pentoxide by calcination from ammonium metavanadate were optimized using central composite design of response surface methodology. A quadratic equation model for decomposition rate was built and effects of main factors and their corresponding relationships were obtained. The results of the statistical analysis show that the decomposition rate of ammonium metavanadate is significantly affected by calcination temperature and calcination time. The optimized calcination conditions are as follows： calcination temperature 669.71 K, calcination time 35.9 min and sample mass 4.25 g. The decomposition rate of ammonium metavanadate is 99.71%,which coincides well with experimental value of 99.27% under the optimized conditions, suggesting that regressive equation fits the decomposition rates perfectly. XRD reveals that it is feasible to prepare the V2O5 by calcination from ammonium metavanadate using response surface methodology.

文摘Identifying suitable processing window is necessary but difficult for achieving favorable microstructure and performance in extrusion of large thick-walled pipe with difficult-to-deform Inconel 625 alloy. In this work, a method was established for identifying the extrusion process window considering temperature control using response surface methodology. Firstly, the response surface models, which correlate temperature rise and peak temperature to key extrusion parameters, have been developed by orthogonal regression based on finite element calculated data. Secondly, the coupled effects of the key extrusion parameters on the temperature rise and peak temperature have been disclosed based on the regression models. Lastly, suitable extrusion processing windows, which are described by contour map of peak temperature in the space of extrusion speed and initial billet temperature, have been established for different extrusion ratios. Using the identified process window, a suitable combination of the key extrusion parameters can be determined conveniently and quickly.

The bilayer tablet containing a fast release layer（FRL） and a sustained release layer（SRL） provided an initial burst release of nimesulide, followed by the sustained release for a period of time. The optimal formulation obtained was as follows：（I） the formulation of FRL： nimesulide, 50 mg; lactose, 92 mg; starch, 22 mg; CCMC-Na, 14 mg; PVP K30, 1 mg; micronized silica gel, 1 mg; magnesium stearate, 0.9 mg; and iron oxide red, 0.1 mg; and（II） the formulation of SRL： nimesulide, 150 mg; HPMC K100LV, 26 mg; HPMC K4M, 33 mg; lactose, 54 mg; PVP K30, 1 mg; micronized silica gel, 1 mg; and magnesium stearate, 0.9 mg. According to the optimal formulation, the biphasic type of release was identified. The in vitro drug dissolution from the bilayer tablets was sustained for about 16 h after releasing 15% of drug in the first 10 min. The developed nimesulide bilayer tablets with improved efficacy can perform therapeutically better than the conventional tablets.
文摘The uniform design and response surface methodology （RSM） are applied to the multi-objective optimization of a 2-D mixed compression scramjet inlet. The set of experimental design points on the design space is selected by the uniform design, and the inlet performance is analyzed by computational fluid dynamics （CFD）. Then complete quadratic polynomial response surface approximation models are constructed based on the performance analysis results and then used to replace theoriginal complex inlet performance model. The optimization is conducted using a multi-objective genetic algorithm NSGA-Ⅱ, and the Pareto optimal solution set is obtained. Results show that the uniform design and RSM can reduce the computational complexity of numerical simulation and improve the optimization efficiency.
文摘Device robust-design is inherently a multiple-objective optimization problem.Using design of experiments (DoE) combined with response surface methodology (RSM) can satisfy the great incentive to reduce the number of technology CAD(TCAD) simulations that need to be performed.However,the errors of RSM models might be large enough to diminish the validity of the results for some nonlinear problems.To find the feasible design space,a new method with objectives-oriented design in generations that takes the errors of RSM model into account is presented.After the augment design of experiments in promising space according to the results of RSM model in current generation,the feasible space will be emerging as the model errors deceasing.The results on FIBMOS examples show that the methodology is efficient.

[Method] Fermentation conditions for ceI uIase production from Trichoderma koningi were optimized with response surface method （RSM） by taking carboxymethyI ceI uIase （CMCase） activity as a response indicator. Three factors that affecting CMCase activity were screened out using singIe factor test among pretreatment methods of raw material, nitrogen sources, initial pH values, inocuIum voIume, fermentation time and voIume of Iiquid medium, they were fermentation time, initial pH value, and voIume of Iiquid medium. The optimum conditions of fer-mentation and interaction of the three factors were determined through Box-Behnken design and regression analysis using Design-Expert software. [Result] Pretreatment of cameI ia seed sheI with alkaline was most conducive to CMCase production. The use of 0.2% （NH4）2SO4 as nitrogen source, inocuIum size of 5%, initial pH value of 5.8 and voIume of Iiquid medium at 22 mI were the best fermentation conditions for maximizing CMCase production by T. koningi from cameI ia seed sheI . Under these conditions, 179.15 U/mI of CMCase was obtalned after 5 d of fermentation, which was improved by 24.52% compared with the maximum CMCase activity of singIe factor test. [Conclusion] The resuIts wiI provide some references for use of cameI ia seed sheI and ceI uIase production.
