Guang-tao Li,Deng-pan Qiao,Hong-sheng Sun,Li-hua He 보안공학연구지원센터 2016 International Journal of u- and e- Service, Scienc Vol.9 No.12

In order to improve the production efficiency of mine and ensure production safety and aiming at the unsatisfying blasting effects and uneven rock fragments existing in the exploitation blasting and construction process in Manjiazhai stope of Hualian Zinc and Indium Stock company, this paper analyzes and optimizes loosening blasting parameters of Open-pit deep-hole benches based on the blasting mechanism and engineering practical experience of wide hole distance and small resistance lines. Utilizing the numerical simulation of finite element software with ANSYS/LS-DYNA various schemes, analysis validations on the blasting stress field under different parameters are conducted. The simulation results show that: When the holes and rows spacing are 15×9, 16×9, 17×8, the effective stress of discrete cells between blast holes is bigger than the dynamic tensile strength that rocks can be broken. The site experimental investigation is conducted. The blasting effect assessment shows that the control rates of the big size rocks when the holes and rows spacing are 16×9 is 1.904% lower than those when those are 15×9, and 1.079% lower than those are 17×8. And the shovel mucking efficiency and composite economic results are better than that of the other two groups of parameters and confirmed the best blasting parameter design.

Li, Ai-Hua,Liu, Hong-Can,Xin, Yu-Hua,Kim, Song-Gun,Zhou, Yu-Guang International Union of Microbiological Societies 2014 International journal of systematic and evolutiona Vol.64 No.2

<P>A Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, non-spore-forming, short-rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain MP203<SUP>T</SUP>, was isolated from ice water of Midui Glacier in Tibet Autonomous Region, China. The strain was psychrotolerant, growing at 0–25 °C. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain MP203<SUP>T</SUP> was most similar to <I>Frigoribacterium faeni</I> NBRC 103066<SUP>T</SUP>, <I>Compostimonas suwonensis</I> KACC 13354<SUP>T</SUP>, <I>Frigoribacterium mesophilum</I> KCTC 19311<SUP>T</SUP>, <I>Marisediminicola antarctica</I> CCTCC AB 209077<SUP>T</SUP> and <I>Alpinimonas psychrophila</I> JCM 18951<SUP>T</SUP>, with similarities of 97.4, 97.2, 97.2, 97.1 and 97.1 %, respectively. The maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree indicated that strain MP203<SUP>T</SUP> clustered with nine genera of the family <I>Microbacteriaceae</I>, namely <I>Frigoribacterium</I>, <I>Compostimonas</I>, <I>Marisediminicola</I>, <I>Alpinimonas</I>, <I>Frondihabitans</I>, <I>Clavibacter</I>, <I>Subtercola</I>, <I>Klugiella</I> and <I>Agreia</I><I>.</I> However, bootstrap analysis showed that there was no significance in the branching pattern of the linage comprising strain MP203<SUP>T</SUP> and any existing generic lineage of the family <I>Microbacteriaceae</I>. DNA–DNA hybridization results indicated levels of relatedness between strain MP203<SUP>T</SUP> and <I>Marisediminicola antarctica</I> CCTCC AB 209077<SUP>T</SUP>, <I>Frigoribacterium faeni</I> NBRC 103066<SUP>T</SUP>, <I>Frigoribacterium mesophilum</I> KCTC 19311<SUP>T</SUP>, <I>Compostimonas suwonensis</I> KACC 13354<SUP>T</SUP> and <I>Alpinimonas psychrophila</I> JCM 18951<SUP>T</SUP> were 25.8±7.3, 29.6±7.6, 19.7±6.7, 16.0±4.2 and 12.4±5.1 % (mean±<SMALL>sd</SMALL>), respectively. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 64.1 mol%. Analysis of the cell-wall peptidoglycan revealed that the peptidoglycan structure of strain MP203<SUP>T</SUP> was B10 type with Gly[<SMALL>l</SMALL>-Hse]–<SMALL>d</SMALL>-Glu–<SMALL>d</SMALL>-DAB, containing 2, 4-diaminobutyric acid (DAB) as a diagnostic amino acid. The cell-wall sugars were rhamnose, ribose, mannose and glucose. The major fatty acids were anteiso-C<SUB>15 : 0</SUB>, iso-C<SUB>16 : 0</SUB> and anteiso A-C<SUB>15 : 1</SUB>. An unusual compound identified as anteiso-C<SUB>15 : 0</SUB>-DMA (1, 1-dimethoxy-anteiso-pentadecane) was also present in strain MP203<SUP>T</SUP>. The predominant menaquinone was MK-10. Diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), one unknown glycolipid and four unknown lipids were detected in the polar lipid extracts. As strain MP203<SUP>T</SUP> was distinguishable from phylogenetically related genera in the family <I>Microbacteriaceae</I> in terms of its physiological and chemotaxonomic characteristics and phylogenetic position, it was considered to represent a novel species of a new genus. Thus, the name <I>Glaciihabitans tibetensis</I> gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of <I>Glaciihabitans tibetensis</I> is MP203<SUP>T</SUP> ( = CGMCC 1.12484<SUP>T</SUP> = KCTC 29148<SUP>T</SUP>).</P>

Synthesis and Characterization of Poly(vinyl alcohol-b-styrene) via Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization and Saponification

Li, Guang-Hua,Cho, Chang-Gi The Polymer Society of Korea 2002 Macromolecular Research Vol.10 No.6

Poly(vinyl alcohol-b-styrene) (poly(VA-b-St)) diblock copolymer containing high syndiotactic poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) was synthesized by the saponification of poly(vinyl pivalate-b-styrene) (poly(VPi-b-St)). For the block copolymer, poly(vinyl pivalate) (PVPi) with trichloromethyl end group was obtained via telomerization of vinyl pivalate with carbon tetrachloride as a telogen and 2,2-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as an initiator. Then resulting poly(vinyl pivalate) with trichloromethyl end group was used as an effient macroinitiator for the synthesis of poly(VPi-b-St) using atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) in the presence of CuCl/2,2'-bipyridine at 130 $^{\circ}C$. The poly(vinyl pivalate) macroinitiator, poly(VPi-b-St), poly(VA-b-St) were characterized by GPC, FT-IR and $^1$H-NMR. And the analysis showed that integrity of the block copolymer was maintained during saponification reaction.

Characterization of Poly(vinyl phosphate-b-styrene) by Solid-State $^{31}P$ NMR and Titration

Li, Guang-Hua,Kim, Sang-Hun,Cho, Chang-Gi,Park, Tae-Joon,Kim, Yong-Ae The Polymer Society of Korea 2006 Macromolecular Research Vol.14 No.5

Poly(vinyl phosphate-b-styrene) (PVPP-b-PS) block copolymers were synthesized successfully from poly(vinyl alcohol-b-styrene) (PVA-b-PS) by reaction with phosphorus oxychloride and subsequent hydrolysis. The obtained block copolymers were slightly crosslinked, and were characterized by various analytical techniques. The total phosphorus content and the ratio of the differently bound phosphorus were obtained by both solid-state $^{31}P$ NMR and pH titration, but the results differed slightly. Characterization by energy dispersion X-ray analysis (EDS) or Rutherford back scattering (RBS), on the other hand, determined the total phosphorus contents, but the results were quite different from those by solid-state $^{31}P$ NMR.

Exact solution for free vibration of curved beams with variable curvature and torsion

Li-li Zhu,Ying-hua Zhao,Guang-xin Wang 국제구조공학회 2013 Structural Engineering and Mechanics, An Int'l Jou Vol.47 No.3

For the purpose of investigating the free vibration response of the spatial curved beams, the governing equations are derived in matrix formats, considering the variable curvature and torsion. The theory includes all the effects of rotary inertia, shear and axial deformations. Frobenius’ scheme and the dynamic stiffness method are then applied to solve these equations. A computer program is coded in Mathematica according to the proposed method. As a special case, the dynamic stiffness and further the natural frequencies of a cylindrical helical spring under fixed-fixed boundary condition are carried out. Comparison of the present results with the FEM results using body elements in I-DEAS shows good accuracy in computation and validity of the model. Further, the present model is used for reciprocal spiral rods with different boundary conditions, and the comparison with FEM results shows that only a limited number of terms in the resultant provide a relatively accurate solution.

CMC and dynamic properties of poly(VA-b-St) copolymer micelles for drug delivery

Guang-Hua Li,Chang-Gi Cho 한국화학공학회 2008 Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering Vol.25 No.6

The polymeric micelles from amphiphilic block copolymer poly(vinyl alcohol-b-styrene) (poly(VA-b-St)) with different syndiotacticity of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) block were prepared by dialysis against water. Critical micelle concentration (CMC) and dynamic properties of poly(VA-b-St) copolymeric micelles were investigated by fluorescence techniques. From the fluorescence emission spectrum measurements using pyrene as a fluorescence probe, the observed CMC value was in the range of 0.125-4.47 mg/L. The CMC value increased with decreasing the weight ratio of PS to PVA block and with increasing the syndiotacticity of PVA block. The rate of pyrene release was very slow for block copolymers containing PVA block with higher syndiotacticity, which indicates that their micelles have increased kinetic stability.

cDNA cloning, expression, and immunolocalization of gonadinhibiting hormone (GIH) in Litopenaeus vannamei

Guang-li Li,Si-ping Deng,Shu-na Jiang,Man Ye,Hua-pu Chen,Siuming F. Chan,Chun-hua Zhu 한국유전학회 2015 Genes & Genomics Vol.37 No.10

In this study, the full-length GIH cDNA sequence from Litopenaeus vannamei was cloned from the eyestalk by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and rapid amplification of cDNA ends. The fulllength GIH cDNA was 865 bp with a 288 bp open-reading frame, which encoded a 96 amino acid prepro-GIH with 17 amino acid signal peptide. L. vannamei GIH (LvGIH) can be classified as a member of type-II crustacean hyperglycemic hormone polypeptide family. LvGIH shares 93.8 and 66.7 % amino acid sequence identity with GIH from Penaeus monodon, and the molt-inhibiting hormone from Marsupenaeus japonicas, respectively. By quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR), LvGIH mRNA transcripts were detected in fertilized eggs, nauplius, zoea, mysis and juveniles of 25, 35 and 40 days old. LvGIH transcript levels increased significantly with the development from fertilized eggs to juveniles. LvGIH transcript levels were highest in juveniles at 35 days old. By RT-PCR, LvGIH mRNA transcripts were detected only in the eyestalks and brains but not in the muscles, intestines, gills, heart, hepatopancreas, ovaries and testes of adults, and there was no difference in the expression level of LvGIH between males and females. Using the P. monodon anti-GIH antibody, we showed that LvGIH was located mainly in the XO-SG and slightly in axon, with similar fluorescence intensity found in XO and SG. To summarize, we have cloned and characterized the GIH of the shrimp L. vannamei. In addition to the GIH properties described in other crustaceans, a peak of LvGIH expression was identified at the time of sexual differentiation (i.e., day 35 larvae) suggesting that LvGIH may also be involved in the control of this process.
