Thermal deactivation caused by increased operating temperature from 45 to 50 ℃ could seriously affect the reusability of Novozym 435. The deactivation of Novozym 435 during the esterification of oleic acid with ethanol tended to be stronger than that in the system with methanol. Under the optimal conditions, considering both biocatalytic activity and stability of the enzyme, Novozym 435 could be reused for 13 cycles for biodiesel productions from oleic acid and absolute alcohols （methanol and ethanol） with FFA conversions of at least 90%. The presence of 4%-5% water in ethanol significantly affected the reusability of Novozym 435. Changes in the surface morphology of Novozym 435 during the esterification with various conditions were observed. It was revealed that the reduction in catalytic activity was related to the swelling degree of the catalyst surface, Additionally, biodiesel production from low cost renewable feedstocks, such as palm fatty acid distillate （PFAD） and 95% ethanol was examined, The esterification of PFAD with 95% ethanol catalyzed by Novozym 435 in 10-repeated batch operation showed the similar results in FFA conversion as compared to those using oleic acid. Novozym 435 remained active and could maintain 97.6% of its initial conversion after being used for 10 hatches.展开更多

Software Reusability is an important measure that can be applied to improve software development and software quality. Reusability reduces time, effort, errors, and hence the overall cost of the development process. Reusability prediction models are established in the early stage of the system development cycle to support an early reusability assessment. In Object-Oriented systems, Reusability of software components (classes) can be obtained by investigating its metrics values. Analyzing software metric values can help to avoid developing components from scratch. In this paper, we use Chidamber and Kemerer (CK) metrics suite in order to identify the reuse level of object-oriented classes. Self-Organizing Map (SOM) was used to cluster datasets of CK metrics values that were extracted from three different java-based systems. The goal was to find the relationship between CK metrics values and the reusability level of the class. The reusability level of the class was classified into three main categorizes (High Reusable, Medium Reusable and Low Reusable). The clustering was based on metrics threshold values that were used to achieve the experiments. The proposed methodology succeeds in classifying classes to their reusability level (High Reusable, Medium Reusable and Low Reusable). The experiments show how SOM can be applied on software CK metrics with different sizes of SOM grids to provide different levels of metrics details. The results show that Depth of Inheritance Tree (DIT) and Number of Children (NOC) metrics dominated the clustering process, so these two metrics were discarded from the experiments to achieve a successful clustering. The most efficient SOM topology [2 × 2] grid size is used to predict the reusability of classes.展开更多

In this paper, we discuss the reusability of a type of static seal called the spring energized metal C ring, which is required to be reused 4-5 times without maintenance during the lifetime of the pump. A theoretical analysis based on the nonlinear finite element method and an experimental investigation of the reusability of the C ring are carried out. The effects of the elastic modulus of the ring material, the ring wall thickness, the amount of assembly interference between the spring and the C ring, the operating temperature and the compression ratio are discussed. The parameter S, which denotes the reaction force difference percentage, is determined to measure the reusability of the C ring. The results show that the ring wall thickness plays an important role in the reusability. Although the normal force of a thick wall decreases after the ring is reused eight times, the value is still higher than the first normal force of a thin wall. In contrast, the elastic modulus of the material has the lowest impact. Here, a pre-compression ratio of 18.2% not only produces a larger first normal force but also leads to a smaller reduction in the normal force when the ring is reused. A simulated experiment is carried out to investigate the influence of the coating of the C ring on its reusability. The results show that when plastic deformation occurs on the contact surface, the contact state of the C ring coating becomes a major factor that affects the seal performance. Aging treatment at high temperatures （250℃） reduces gized metal C ring, which leads to the deterioration in the reusability the binding force of the silver coating on the spring ener of the ring.展开更多

文摘The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the limitations of traditional preventative measures and underscored the essential role of face masks in controlling virus transmission.More effective and recyclable facial masks using various materials have been developed.In this work,vertically aligned carbon nanotubes(VACNTs)are employed as effective facial mask filters,particularly aimed at preventing SARS-CoV-2 virus infection in preparation for future COVID-19 pandemics.This study assesses six critical aspects of facial masks:hydrophobicity,industrial viability,breathability,hyperthermal antiviral effect,toxicity,and reusability.The VACNT alone exhibits superhydrophobicity with a contact angle of 175.53◦,and an average of 142.7◦for a large area on spun-bonded polypropylene.VACNTs are processed using a roll-to-roll method,eliminating the need for adhesives.Due to the aligned tubes,VACNT filters demonstrate exceptional breathability and moisture ventilation compared to previously reported CNT and conventional filters.Hyperthermal tests of VACNT filters under sunlight confirm that up to 99.8%of the HCoV 229E virus denatures even in cold environments.The safety of using VACNTs is corroborated through histopathological evaluation and subcutaneous implantation tests,addressing concerns of respiratory and skin inflammation.VACNT masks efficiently transmit moisture and rapidly return to their initial dry state under sunlight maintaining their properties after 10000 bending cycles.In addition,the unique capability of VACNT filters to function as respiratory sensors,signaling dampness and facilitating reuse,is assessed,alongside their Joule heating effect.

文摘This study demonstrates the valorization of macadamia nutshells,a lignocellulosic agricultural waste,as both a carbon source for amylase production and a support matrix for enzyme immobilization.Under optimized solid-state fermentation conditions,Aspergillus niger ICP2 synthesized amylase with a peak activity of 0.312 U/mL after 72 hours.A four-step purification process of the crude enzyme extract resulted in a 188.54-fold increase in specific activity,albeit with a final recovery yield of 0.0031%.In parallel,nutshells were carbonized at 600℃,700℃,and 800℃,then chemically activated with ZnCl_(2).The carbon derived at 700℃ exhibited superior physicochemical characteristics,including enhanced porosity and increased availability of functional groups,which enabled effective enzyme adsorption,improved catalytic performance,and enhanced reusability.Immobilized amylase on this support retained approximately 30% of its initial activity after five hydrolysis cycles,demonstrating moderate operational reusability and potential for repeated use in bioprocesses.In contrast,carbon materials from 600℃ and 800℃ showed lower stability and enzyme performance.These findings highlight the critical role of carbonization conditions in designing effective immobilization matrices and underscore the potential of macadamia nutshells as a renewable and sustainable resource for biocatalyst development.This“biowaste-to-biocatalyst”strategy exemplifies a circular bioeconomy model with implications for green chemistry,industrial biocatalysis,and environmental sustainability.

文摘Excessive Fe^(3+) ion concentrations in wastewater pose a long-standing threat to human health.Achieving low-cost,high-efficiency quantification of Fe^(3+) ion concentration in unknown solutions can guide environmental management decisions and optimize water treatment processes.In this study,by leveraging the rapid,real-time detection capabilities of nanopores and the specific chemical binding affinity of tannic acid to Fe^(3+),a linear relationship between the ion current and Fe^(3+) ion concentration was established.Utilizing this linear relationship,quantification of Fe^(3+) ion concentration in unknown solutions was achieved.Furthermore,ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt was employed to displace Fe^(3+) from the nanopores,allowing them to be restored to their initial conditions and reused for Fe^(3+) ion quantification.The reusable bioinspired nanopores remain functional over 330 days of storage.This recycling capability and the long-term stability of the nanopores contribute to a significant reduction in costs.This study provides a strategy for the quantification of unknown Fe^(3+) concentration using nanopores,with potential applications in environmental assessment,health monitoring,and so forth.

文摘It is well known that static seals are usually designed to be used once. In this paper, we discuss the reusability of a type of static seal called the spring energized metal C ring, which is required to be reused 4-5 times without maintenance during the lifetime of the pump. A theoretical analysis based on the nonlinear finite element method and an experimental investigation of the reusability of the C ring are carried out. The effects of the elastic modulus of the ring material, the ring wall thickness, the amount of assembly interference between the spring and the C ring, the operating temperature and the compression ratio are discussed. The parameter S, which denotes the reaction force difference percentage, is determined to measure the reusability of the C ring. The results show that the ring wall thickness plays an important role in the reusability. Although the normal force of a thick wall decreases after the ring is reused eight times, the value is still higher than the first normal force of a thin wall. In contrast, the elastic modulus of the material has the lowest impact. Here, a pre-compression ratio of 18.2% not only produces a larger first normal force but also leads to a smaller reduction in the normal force when the ring is reused. A simulated experiment is carried out to investigate the influence of the coating of the C ring on its reusability. The results show that when plastic deformation occurs on the contact surface, the contact state of the C ring coating becomes a major factor that affects the seal performance. Aging treatment at high temperatures （250℃） reduces gized metal C ring, which leads to the deterioration in the reusability the binding force of the silver coating on the spring ener of the ring.

文摘Artificial neural networks(ANNs),a branch of artificial intelligence,has become a very interesting domain since the eighties when back-propagation(BP)learning algorithm for multilayer feed-forward architecture was introduced to solve nonlinear problems.It is used extensively to solve complex nonalgorithmic problems such as prediction,pattern recognition and clustering.However,in the context of a holistic study,there may be a need to integrate ANN with other models developed in various paradigms to solve a problem.In this paper,we suggest discrete event system specification(DEVS)be used as a model of computation(MoC)to make ANN models interoperable with other models(since all discrete event models can be expressed in DEVS,and continuous models can be approximated by DEVS).By combining ANN and DEVS,we can model the complex configuration of ANNs and express its internal workings.Therefore,we are extending the DEVS-based ANN proposed by Toma et al.[A new DEVS-based generic art-ficial neural network modeling approach,The 23rd European Modeling and Simulation Symp.(Simulation in Industry),Rome,Italy,2011]for comparing multiple configuration parameters and learning algorithms and also to do prediction.The DEVS models are described using the high level language for system specification(HiLLS),[Ma¨ıga et al.,A new approach to modeling dynamic structure systems,The 29th European Modeling and Simulation Symp.(Simulation in Industry),Leicester,United Kingdom,2015]a graphical modeling language for clarity.The developed platform is a tool to transform ANN models into DEVS computational models,making them more reusable and more interoperable in the context of larger multi-perspective modeling and simulation(MAS).

文摘Due to their high mechanical compliance and excellent biocompatibility,conductive hydrogels exhibit significant potential for applications in flexible electronics.However,as the demand for high sensitivity,superior mechanical properties,and strong adhesion performance continues to grow,many conventional fabrication methods remain complex and costly.Herein,we propose a simple and efficient strategy to construct an entangled network hydrogel through a liquid-metal-induced cross-linking reaction,hydrogel demonstrates outstanding properties,including exceptional stretchability(1643%),high tensile strength(366.54 kPa),toughness(350.2 kJ m^(−3)),and relatively low mechanical hysteresis.The hydrogel exhibits long-term stable reusable adhesion(104 kPa),enabling conformal and stable adhesion to human skin.This capability allows it to effectively capture high-quality epidermal electrophysiological signals with high signal-to-noise ratio(25.2 dB)and low impedance(310 ohms).Furthermore,by integrating advanced machine learning algorithms,achieving an attention classification accuracy of 91.38%,which will significantly impact fields like education,healthcare,and artificial intelligence.
文摘BACKGROUND Single-use duodenoscopes(SDs)were introduced to eliminate exogenous infection risks post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP).AIM To evaluate their efficacy and safety against reusable duodenoscopes(RDs).METHODS This was a single-center case control study.All consecutive patients undergoing ERCP using SD between 2020 and 2023 were enrolled.A similar number of patients undergoing ERCP using RD were randomly selected and enrolled.In case of ERCP failure using SD,operators switched to a RD if judged appropriate.The primary outcome was successful ERCP completion rates.The secondary outcomes were rate of difficult biliary cannulation,incidence of crossover from SD to RD,procedure related adverse events,30-day re-admission rate,and endoscopists'assessment of SD's performance.RESULTS A total of 133 patients were enrolled(n=53 for SD,n=80 for RD).Baseline characteristics and American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy ERCP complexity grades were comparable between both groups.Successful ERCP completion rates were 88.7%for SD and 95%for RD(P=0.3).In cases of unsuccessful ERCP with SD,crossover to RD occurred in 3 out of 6 instances,with 2 subsequently succeeding with RD.Rates of adverse events and 30-day readmission were comparable:(1)13.2%vs 11.2%(P=0.19);and(2)15.4%vs 8.9%(P=0.25),respectively.Median overall endoscopists’satisfaction with SD was 8 out of 10.CONCLUSION The novel SDs demonstrated no difference in efficacy and safety compared to conventional RDs when used to perform a wide range of ERCPs.Nevertheless,further development and study of SDs’financial and environmental effectiveness is warranted.

文摘Cellular structures,distinguished by their porous characteristics,are frequently adopted in designs aimed at impact isolation,owing to their lightweight attributes and exceptional ability to absorb energy during impact events.Lattice structures often rely on plastic deformation to absorb energy.However,in applications such as sports protection and robotic grasping,there exists a requirement for a reusable structure designed to isolate impacts,which can be effectively achieved by three-dimensional flexible lattice structures.In this work,a theoretical calculation method for soft lattice structures is proposed,and in light of this method,a three-dimensional soft lattice structure aimed at isolating impacts has been carefully designed.The predictive theory for the quasistatic mechanical properties,including stiffness and buckling strength for three-dimensional soft lattice structures is described.On the basis of the quasizero stiffness characteristics inherent in body-centered cubic,octahedral,and regular diamond structures,a soft impact isolation structure is designed.The soft structure,fabricated with thermoplastic polyurethane material,demonstrated a peak impact isolation efficiency of 83%,despite possessing a thickness of 24 mm described.The work provides a novel design methodology for three-dimensional soft lattice structures and supports the development of reusable impact isolation structures for applications such as reconfigurable robots and space capture missions.

文摘Superwetting materials have drawn unprecedented attention in the treatment of oily wastewater due to their preferable anti-fouling property and selective oil/water separation.However,it is still a challenge to fabricate multifunctional and environmentally friendly materials,which can be stably applied to purify the actual complicated wastewater.Here,a Ag/Ag/α-Fe_(2)O_(3) heterostructure anchored copper mesh was intentionally synthesized using a facile two-step hydrothermal method.The resultant mesh with superhydrophilicity and underwater superoleophobicity was capable of separating various oil/water mixtures with superior separation efficiency and high permeationflux driven by gravity.Benefiting from the joint effects of the smaller band gap of Ag/α-Fe_(2)O_(3) heterojunction,inherent antibacterial capacity of Ag/α-Fe_(2)O_(3) and Ag nanoparticles,favorable conductive substrate,as well as the hierarchical structure with superwettability,such mesh presented remarkably enhanced degradation capability toward organic dyes under visible light irradiation and antibacterial activity against both Escherichia coli(E.coli)and Staphylococcus aureus(S.aureus)compared with the pure Ag/α-Fe_(2)O_(3) coated mesh.Impressively,the mesh exhibited bifunctional water purification performance,in which organic dyes were eliminated simultaneously from water during oil/water separation in onefiltration process.More importantly,this mesh behaved exceptional chemical resistance,mechanical stability and long-term reusability.Therefore,this material with multifunctional integration may hold promising potential for steady water purification in practice.

文摘The continued expansion of the world population,increasingly inconsistent climate and shrinking agricultural resources present major challenges to crop breeding.Fortunately,the increasing ability to discover and manipulate genes creates new opportunities to develop more productive and resilient cultivars.Many genes have been described in papers as being beneficial for yield increase.However,few of them have been translated into increased yield on farms.In contrast,commercial breeders are facing gene decidophobia,i.e.,puzzled about which gene to choose for breeding among the many identified,a huge chasm between gene discovery and cultivar innovation.The purpose of this paper is to draw attention to the shortfalls in current gene discovery research and to emphasise the need to align with cultivar innovation.The methodology dictates that genetic studies not only focus on gene discovery but also pay good attention to the genetic backgrounds,experimental validation in relevant environments,appropriate crop management,and data reusability.The close of the gaps should accelerate the application of molecular study in breeding and contribute to future global food security.

文摘Efficient and convenient treatment of industrial dyeing wastewater is of great significance to guarantee human and animal health.This work presented the enhanced catalytic activity at pH 3.0 of laccase immobilized on amino-functionalized ZnFe_(2)O_(4) nanoparticles(ZnFe_(2)O_(4)-laccase)and its application for the degradation of textile dyes.Due to the existence of a large number of oxygen vacancies on the surface of the ZnFe_(2)O_(4) nanoparticles,negative ions accumulated on the magnetic carriers,which resulted in a harsh optimal pH value of the ZnFe_(2)O_(4)-laccase.Laccase activity assays revealed that the ZnFe_(2)O_(4)-laccase possessed superior pH and thermal stabilities,excellent reusability,and noticeable organic solvent tolerance.Meanwhile,the ZnFe_(2)O_(4) laccase presented efficient and sustainable degradation of high concentrations of textile dyes.The initial decoloration efficiencies of malachite green(MG),brilliant green(BG),azophloxine,crystal violet(CV),reactive blue 19(RB19),and procion red MX-5B were approximately 99.1%,95.0%,93.3%,87.4%,86.1%,and 85.3%,respectively.After 10 consecutive reuses,the degradation rates of the textile dyes still maintained about 98.2%,92.5%,83.2%,81.5%,79.8%and 65.9%,respectively.The excellent dye degradation properties indicate that the ZnFe_(2)O_(4)-laccase has a technical application in high concentrations of dyestuff treatment.
