Liu, Zeqing,Zheng, Pingping,Cai, Tao,Kang, Shin-Min Korean Mathematical Society 2010 대한수학회보 Vol.47 No.2

In this paper, a new class of general nonlinear variational inclusions involving H-monotone is introduced and studied in Hilbert spaces. By applying the resolvent operator associated with H-monotone, we prove the existence and uniqueness theorems of solution for the general nonlinear variational inclusion, construct an iterative algorithm for computing approximation solution of the general nonlinear variational inclusion and discuss the convergence of the iterative sequence generated by the algorithm.

Yang, Lixia,Liu, Dan,Wang, Pingping,Seo, Hwimin,Gui, Jianzhou,Park, Yong-Ki American Chemical Society 2018 INDUSTRIAL & ENGINEERING CHEMISTRY RESEARCH - Vol.57 No.31

<P>A uniform nanoplate-like MgO-based sorbents were prepared with eitelite and hydromagnesite intergrowing each other, and their CO<SUB>2</SUB> capture capacity was evaluated for fast CO<SUB>2</SUB> absorption in the thermal swing absorption process, with model wet industrial flue gas at a CO<SUB>2</SUB> concentration of 14.5 vol %, at ambient pressure. Fast absorption and desorption rate, acceptable dynamic absorption capacity, and good cyclic stability (9 wt % after recycling 100 times) have been obtained. Some theoretical work has been carried out and found eitelite was the only origin of the active MgO species for fast CO<SUB>2</SUB> uptake in TSA process. Nitrate was also demonstrated to have some promotive effect in CO<SUB>2</SUB> fast absorption on the active MgO species. The effectiveness of eitelite was close related to its special crystal structure, i.e., after calcination, the special layer assembling with the proximity of Na<SUP>+</SUP> and O<SUP>2-</SUP> at a molecular level probably contributed to the fast absorption. Meanwhile, the void space caused by decarbonization of hydromagnesite may also facilitate the absorption and diffusion of CO<SUB>2</SUB>. Therefore, this sorbent has been demonstrated to be a potential absorbent for postcombustion CO<SUB>2</SUB> capture from fossil-fuel-fired power plant.</P> [FIG OMISSION]</BR>

A novel heuristic for handover priority in mobile heterogeneous networks based on a multimodule Takagi–Sugeno–Kang fuzzy system

Fuqi Zhang1,Pingping Xiao,Yujia Liu 한국전자통신연구원 2022 ETRI Journal Vol.44 No.4

H2RDC (heuristic handover based on RCC-DTSK-C), a heuristic algorithm based on a highly interpretable deep Takagi–Sugeno–Kang fuzzy classifier, is proposed for suppressing the mobile heterogeneous networks problem of frequent handover and handover ping-pong in the multibase-station scenario. This classifier uses a stack structure between subsystems to form a deep classifier before generating a base station (BS) priority sequence during the handover process, and adaptive handover hysteresis is calculated. Simulation results show that H2RDC allows user equipment to switch to the best antenna at the optimal time. In high-BS density load and mobility scenarios, the proposed algorithm’s handover success rate is similar to those of classic algorithms such as best connection (BC), self tuning handover algorithm (STHA), and heuristic for handover based on AHP-TOPSIS-FUZZY (H2ATF). Moreover, the handover rate is 83% lower under H2RDC than under BC, whereas the handover ping-pong rate is 76% lower.

Discussion on Failure Mechanism and Strength Criterion of Sandstone Based on Particle Discrete Element Method

Shuguang Zhang,Lei Chen,Pingping Lu,Wenbo Liu 대한토목학회 2021 KSCE Journal of Civil Engineering Vol.25 No.6

In order to study the mechanism of loading failure process of deep rock mass, particle flow numerical simulation (PFC2D) was used to carry out rock mechanical unit tests under different loading strain rates for sandstone in Haitangshan Tunnel, Fuxin. The applicability of several classical strength criteria was compared according to the test. The results show that, except Poisson's ratio, the other mechanical parameters are positively correlated with the loading strain rate, including peak strength, elastic modulus, cohesion, internal friction angle and tensile strength. And the Poisson's ratio is negatively correlated with the loading strain rate. And the crack initiation stress σci and dilatation stress σcd increased gradually, but the effects on σci/σpk, σcd/σpk and σci/σcd were not obvious; and at the same volume strain, the corresponding axial strain decreased gradually. The anisotropy of normal and tangential contact forces between particles increases with the increase of loading strain rate. The normal contact force was approximately symmetrical distributed up and down, while the tangential contact force was approximately symmetrical distributed in the center. The cumulative number of cracks and the number of cracks every 10 steps gradually increased with the loading strain rate, and the crack development and failure degree gradually increased, and the crack hot spot map at the shear fracture zone gradually tended to be irregular. By comparing different strength criteria, it was found that the error of ROCKER strength criterion was relatively small, and the calculation was simple. It was considered that ROCKER strength criterion was more suitable for sandstone strength prediction under different loading strain rates.

Bin Zhi,Shangjie Wang,Pingping Wei,Enlong Liu,Wenbin Han 대한토목학회 2024 KSCE Journal of Civil Engineering Vol.28 No.5

Creep deformation control is the key point and difficulty in the construction of loess high fill, the creep characteristics of loess with different compactness and confining pressure conditions has been studied. To achieve the objective, the influence of different conditions on the creep deformation characteristics of loess were analyzed by the triaxial creep tests of loess under different compaction and confining pressures. The results show that the instantaneous deformation of the soil samples gradually decrease with increasing compactness, and the total creep deformation also decreases. With the increase of confining pressure, the deformation increase gradually with the compactness decreased. Finally, in order to describe the creep process of loess, the creep model suitable for different compactness is proposed, which is based on fractional calculus and the continuous damage theory. Through fitting verification, the applicability of the theoretical model to the description of loess creep characteristics is proved, and then the whole stages of loess creep can be better described.

An in vitro Actinidia Bioassay to Evaluate the Resistance to Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae

Faming Wang,Jiewei Li,Kaiyu Ye,Pingping Liu,Hongjuan Gong,Qiaosheng Jiang,Beibei Qi,Quanhui Mo 한국식물병리학회 2019 Plant Pathology Journal Vol.35 No.4

Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa) is by far the most important pathogen of kiwifruit. Sustainable expansion of the kiwifruit industry requires the use of Psa-tolerant or resistant genotypes for the breeding of tolerant cultivars. However, the resistance of most existing kiwifruit cultivars and wild genotypes is poorly understood, and suitable evaluation methods of Psa resistance in Actinidia have not been established. A unique in vitro method to evaluate Psa resistance has been developed with 18 selected Actinidia genotypes. The assay involved debarking and measuring the lesions of cane pieces inoculated with the bacterium in combination with the observation of symptoms such as callus formation, sprouting of buds, and the extent to which Psa invaded xylem. Relative Psa resistance or tolerance was divided into four categories. The division results were consistent with field observations. This is the first report of an in vitro assay capable of large-scale screening of Psa-resistance in Actinidia germplasm with high accuracy and reproducibility. The assay would considerably facilitate the breeding of Psa-resistant cultivars and provide a valuable reference and inspiration for the resistance evaluation of other plants to different pathogens.

Panax ginseng total protein promotes proliferation and secretion of collagen in NIH/3T3 cells by activating extracellular signal-related kinase pathway

Xuenan Chen,Manying Wang,Xiaohao Xu,Jianzeng Liu,Bing Mei,Pingping Fu,Da-Qing Zhao,Liwei Sun 고려인삼학회 2017 Journal of Ginseng Research Vol.41 No.3

Background: Recently, protein from ginseng was studied and used for the treatment of several kinds of diseases. However, the effect of ginseng total protein (GTP) on proliferation and wound healing in fibroblast cells remains unclear. Methods: In this study, cell viability was analyzed using the MTT [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5- diphenyltetrazolium bromide] assay. Cell cycle distribution was analyzed by flow cytometer. The levels of transforming growth factor b1, vascular endothelial growth factor, and collagens were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunofluorescence staining. The expressions of cyclin A, phosphorylation of extracellular signal-related kinase (p-ERK1/2), and ERK1/2 were analyzed byWestern blotting. Results: Our results showed that GTP promoted cell proliferation and increased the percentage of cells in S phase through the upregulation of cyclin A in NIH/3T3 cells. We also found that GTP induced the secretion of type I collagen, and promoted the expression of other factors that regulate the synthesis of collagen such as transforming growth factor b1 and vascular endothelial growth factor. In addition, the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 at Thr202/Tyr204 was also increased by GTP. Conclusion: Our studies suggest that GTP promoted proliferation and secretion of collagen in NIH/3T3 cells by activating the ERK signal pathway, which shed light on a potential function of GTP in promoting wound healing.

Background: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are widely involved in gene transcription regulation and which act as epigenetic modifiers in many diseases. Objective: To determine whether lncRNAs are involved in ischemic stroke (IS), we analyzed the expression profile of lncRNAs and mRNAs in IS. Methods: RNA sequencing was performed on the blood of three pairs of IS patients and healthy controls. Differential expression analysis was used to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) and mRNAs (DEmRNAs). Based on the co-expression relationships between lncRNA and mRNA, a series of bioinformatics analysis including GO and KEGG enrichment analysis and PPI analysis, were conducted to predict the function of lncRNA. Results: RNA sequencing produced a total of 5 DElncRNAs and 144 DEmRNAs. Influenza A pathway and Herpes simplex infection pathway were the most significant pathways. EP300 and NFKB1 were the most important target proteins, and Human leucocyte antigen (HLA) family were the key genes in IS. Conclusions: Analysis of this study revealed that dysregulated lncRNAs in IS may lead to IS by affecting the immune and inflammation system.

Functionalized moso bamboo powder adsorbent for Cd(II) complexes with citric acid/tartrate acid: characterization, adsorptive performance, and mechanism

Qinju Sun,Shaohua Lin,Guohua Liu,Yue Xuan,Liping Gao,Pingping Li 대한환경공학회 2022 Environmental Engineering Research Vol.27 No.5

A new amine group functionalized moso bamboo powder adsorbent (AMBP) was prepared using a facile procedure to remove Cd(II) complexes with citric acid (CA) and tartrate acid (TA). The properties of the AMBP were characterized using SEM, FTIR, XPS, BET, and an elemental analysis. The adsorptive performances of the AMBP toward Cd(II)-CA/TA were investigated. The results indicated that amine group was successfully introduced, and the AMBP with a BET specific surface area of 0.463 ㎡/g was effective in adsorbing Cd(II)-CA/TA under pH 4.0–10.0. The removal of Cd(II) increased significantly when the Cd(II)/ligand molar ratio changed from 1:0.5 to 1:2. The adsorption processes of Cd(II)-CA/TA were endothermic and fit well with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R² > 0.999). The Langmuir model (qmax of 14.41 and 7.58 mg/g for Cd(II)-CA and Cd(II)-TA, respectively) fit the isotherms better than the Freundlich model. The AMBP could be regenerated by HCl and reused at least 4 times. The uptake mechanisms of Cd(II)-CA/TA were proposed to be physisorption and the chemisorption of the coordination between –NH₂/–NH and the Cd(II). This work shows that the AMBP is an adsorbent with high practical value to remove Cd(II) in water or wastewater containing CA/TA.
