The objective of this work was to determine the bacteriological quality of the porridges and purees of weaning consumed by children from 6 to 24 months at the INSE of Guinea. For this, a descriptive study of analytical type was carried out over a period of 4 months at the INSE of Guinea. This study found that total mesophilic flora, faecal streptococci, staphylococci, and salmonella were consistent with sanitary standards in Plantin-enriched peanut paste and groundnut paste samples. They had respective bacteriological qualities of 90% and 60%. Fecal coliform contamination and ASR were observed respectively in the samples of rice husk remnants enriched with peanut paste and planting banana purée with respective values 50% and 40%. From the point of view of tampering, the samples of rice ground meal enriched with groundnut paste and Plantin banana purees were severely affected by the total coliforms at 40% and 60% respectively. In the end, poor hygiene practice during preparation increases the risk of food contamination;however, hygienic measures must be taken to improve the hygienic quality of food to maintain good health of children.展开更多

The study aimed at evaluating the potential of utilizing Kenyan orange fleshed sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas Lam.) for functional food production with aesthetics benefits. Purees from three different varieties of orange fleshed sweet potato (OFSP) were analyzed for nutritional, physicochemical and microbial quality, The findings of the study show that the three purees were all microbiologically safe and of near neutral pH, but differed significantly (P 〈 0.05) in nutrient content (dry matter content, 12.76-28.23%; crude fiber, 1.37-2.90% fresh weight basis (FWB); 13-carotene, 0.94-9.27 mg/100g dry weight basis (DWB); starch, 10.20-18.30% FWB & total sugar 27.08-31.76% DWB). The purees had attractive appearance (ranging from yellow to dark orange), with varying significantly different spectrophotometer hunters color scale (P 〈 0.05), and flow ability. Conclusions from the findings show great potential of utilizing the varying properties of OFSP puree to produce enriched functional food products such as probiotic/prebiotic dairy, beverages, bakery and baby foods.展开更多

文摘Pure Mg boasting a relatively small corrosion rate is a potential biodegradable metal material for implants.However,its degradation behavior in the complex physiological environment is still a lack of understanding.In this work,we investigated the effect of corrosion product film layers on the degradation behavior of pure Mg in physiological environments.Pure Mg shows a faster corrosion rate in simulated body fluid(SBF)compared to NaCl solution.Hydrogen evolution experiments indicate that the degradation rate of pure Mg in SBF decreases rapidly within the first 12 h but stabilizes afterward.The rapid deposition of low-solubility calcium phosphate on the pure Mg in SBF provides protection to the substrate,resulting in a gradual decrease in the degradation rates.Consequently,the corrosion product film of pure Mg formed in SBF exhibits a layered structure,with the upper layer consisting of dense Ca_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)/Mg_(3)(PO_(4))_(2) and the lower layer consisting of Mg(OH)_(2)/MgO.Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS)shows that the resistance of the corrosion product film increases over time,indicating gradual strengthening of the corrosion resistance.The 4-week degradation results in the femoral marrow cavity of mice are consistent with the result in SBF in vitro.

文摘With the development of renewable energy,electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction(CO_(2)RR)has become a potential solution for achieving carbon neutrality.However,until now,due to issues with salt precipitate and regeneration of the electrolyte,this technology faces challenges such as difficulty in maintaining long-term stable operation and excessive costs.The pure water CO_(2)electrolyzers are believed to be the ultimate solution to eliminate the salt depreciation and electrolyte issues.This study develops an in-situ method tailored for CO_(2)reduction in pure water.By employing distribution of relaxation times(DRT)analysis and in-situ electrochemical active surface area(ECSA)measurements,we carried out a comprehensive investigation into the mass transport and electrochemical active surface area of gas diffusion electrodes(GDE)under pure water conditions.The maximum 89%CO selectivity and high selectivity(>80%)in the range of 0-300 mA/cm^(2)were achieved using commercial Ag nanoparticles by rational design of catalyst layer.We found that ionomers influence the CO_(2)electrolyzers performance via affecting local pH,GDE-membrane interface,and CO_(2)transport,while catalyst loading mainly influences the active area and CO_(2)transport.This work provides benchmark and insights for future pure water CO_(2)electrolyzers development.

文摘The features of additive manufacturing(AM)have made commercially pure titanium(CP-Ti)an attractive candidate material for biomedical implants.However,achieving high strength and ductility is challenging because of the columnar structures and fine martensite formation.This study investigated the effect of carbon nanotubes(CNTs)addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of grade 1 CP-Ti(Gr-1)during the laser powder bed fusion(L-PBF)process.A minute amount of 0.2%mass fraction(wt%)CNTs addition resulted in a high yield strength of approximately 700 MPa and exceptional ductility of 25.7%.Therein,a portion of the CNTs dissolved in the matrix as solute atoms,contributing to solution strengthening,while others were transformed into Ti C_(x)through an in situ reaction with the Ti matrix.Furthermore,the addition of CNTs resulted in the formation of a larger fraction of equiaxed grains and increased the activity of basal and prismatic slip systems.Hence,Gr-1 with CNTs exhibited significantly increased ductility while maintaining a high strength comparable to that of Gr-1 without CNTs.The insights gained from this study provide a novel approach for designing strong and ductile Ti alloys for AM.

文摘Pure titanium fabricated by powder metallurgy generally encounters problems including low relative density and low strength,which limits its application performance.This work proposed a multi-step pressing(MSP)technique for developing highstrength pure titanium.The MSP processes of spherical Ti powders of 15–53μm,53–105μm,and 75–180μm were systematically investigated through multi-particle fnite element method(MPFEM)compared with conventional one-step pressing(OSP)technique.The relative density,phase constitution,microstructure,and compressive mechanical properties of the sintered bulk pure titanium were characterized.Simulation results demonstrate that the MSP technique signifcantly increases the relative density of green compacts by 3.2%,3.3%,and 5.2%,respectively,compared with OSP technique.Experimental results indicate the relative density of the sintered specimens prepared by MSP spherical powders increases by 5.4%,4.5%,and 4.5%,respectively,compared to OSP,and the yield strength improves by 16%,13%,and 18%.For the sintered specimens prepared by MSP irregular powder of 15–53μm,the relative density increases by 6.0%and the yield strength increases by 15%.The enhancement of relative density and yield strength is mainly because the MSP technique mitigates stress concentration between powder particles.Compared to spherical powder,irregular powder exhibits stronger mechanical interlocking owing to the greater propensity for displacement and deformation,which facilitates mutual wedging and interlocking,resulting in superior strength performance.

文摘Using electric motors instead of diesel engines as the driving system for mining excavators can reduce the energy consumption and operating costs.However,pure electric-driven mining excavators are prone to unexpected power outages in mines because of drastic changes in load power,leading to significant fluctuations in the power demand of the grid,which in turn affects production.To solve the above problem,a pure electric-driven mining hydraulic excavator based on electric-motor-driven swing platform and hydraulic pumps was used as the research object.Moreover,supercapacitors and DC/DC converter,as the energy storage system(ESS)adjust the output power of the grid and recover the braking kinetic energy of the swing platform.Subsequently,a novel integrated energy management strategy for a DC bus voltage predictive controller based on the power feedforward of fuzzy rules is proposed to run mining excavators efficiently and reliably.Specifically,the working modes of the ESS are determined by the DC bus voltage and state of charge(SOC)of the supercapacitor.Next,the output power of the supercapacitor and the DC bus voltage were controlled by adjusting the charging and discharging currents of the DC/DC converter using a predictive controller and fuzzy rules.In addition,a digital prototype of the excavator was verified using an original machine test.The performance of the different strategies and driven systems were analyzed using digital prototypes.The results showed that,compared with traditional excavators with diesel engines,the operational cost of the developed excavators was reduced by 54.02%.Compared to pure electric-driven excavators without an ESS,the peak power of the grid for the developed excavators was reduced by 10%.This study designed an integrated energy management strategy for a pure electric mining excavator that can regulate the power output of the grid and maintain the stability of the bus voltage and SOC of the ESS.

文摘The Zeeman-hyperfine-rotational spectra of ^(40)K^(87)Rb within its vibronic ground state at a magnetic field of 545.9 G are investigated by adopting the latest molecular constants available,and the results are in good agreement with the experimental observation made by Ospelkaus et al.[Phys.Rev.Lett.104030402(2010)].However,the calculated spectra generally shift by−3.6 kHz from the experimental ones,which implies the inaccuracy of the effective rotational constant.Therefore,we refit the spectra and obtain a new B_(eff)=1113952(1)kHz,which reduces the overall root-mean-square deviation from 10.8 kHz to 7.9 kHz.Furthermore,the pure hyperfine spectra within the J=0 and 1 rotational states are simulated.We find that the scalar nuclear spin–spin interaction dominates the hyperfine splitting of J=0 despite it being slightly indirectly affected by the nuclear electric quadruple interaction due to the rotational perturbation,while the nuclear electric quadrupole interactions dominate the splitting,and the scalar and tensor nuclear spin–spin interactions also affect the splitting of J=1.The detailed hyperfine-rotational perturbations are studied.Therefore,the scalar and tensor nuclear spin–spin interaction constants can be precisely determined by simultaneously measuring the pure hyperfine radio-frequency spectra of the J=0 and 1 states in the vibronic ground state.
文摘The article presents an original concept of a universal philosophical language capable of transcending the boundaries between individual sciences and serving as a foundation for transdisciplinary thinking.This approach,developed by the author since the 1980s,is based on particular and general comparative concepts-concepts of practical mind and categories of pure mind.Therefore,the key element of the concept is the category of"particular and general",which fundamentally differs from the traditional category of"part and whole".This allows for the description of both structural and functional aspects of complex systems not only at the interdisciplinary but also at the transdisciplinary level.The primary categories of thought-Identity,Difference,Correlated,Opposite,and others-are regarded as universal notions that connect levels of reality and ensure the integration of individual sciences.Unlike contemporary transdisciplinary concepts based on Basarab Nicolescu's logic of the included middle and Edgar Morin's dialogics,the author's theory is built on the ultimate general Hegelian notion of"concrete identity"and its differentiation into a multitude of"concrete differences"-comparative concepts.As a result,a unique philosophical language has been developed,presented within the framework of the Philosophical Matrix as a system of categories of pure mind capable of describing the dynamics and wholeness of complex processes at the transdisciplinary level.The article is intended for researchers interested in the philosophical foundations of transdisciplinarity,the theory of complexity,and the development of universal categories of thought.
