A new fluorescent probe made from (E)-2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-3-(6-hydroxynaphthalen-2-yl) acrylonitrile(Probe 1) was synthesized for the determination ofbisulfite concentrations in real food samples (red wine andsugar). Adding bisulfite to a Probe 1 solution caused amarked decrease in fluorescence intensity and a visualcolor change from yellow to light yellow. This distinctcolor response indicates that Probe 1 could be used as avisual sensor for bisulfite. Probe 1 can detect bisulfitequantitatively in the range 0–400 lM with a detection limitof 0.10 lM. This makes Probe 1 a convenient signalinginstrument for determining bisulfite levels in sugar and redwine samples.

An experimental study on low-velocity nonlinear flow in vuggy carbonate reservoirs

Haitao Wu,Fujun Li,Jiawen Liu,Jiang Chen,Xiaowei Lv,Wei Hu 한국자원공학회 2016 Geosystem engineering Vol.19 No.4

Vuggy carbonate reservoirs in the Middle East, which have characteristics such as high porosity, low permeability, and few fractures, are significantly different from fractured-vuggy carbonate reservoirs. In this study, single-phase flow experiments and core mercury injection experiments were conducted to analyze the pore size distribution and low-velocity nonlinear flow characteristics of vuggy carbonate rocks in Halfaya oilfield. The results show that the relationship between pseudo-threshold pressure gradient and permeability in matrix carbonate rocks is linear. However, vuggy type does not exhibit the same linear relationship. Compared with matrix type, vuggy carbonate rock has a nonlinear flow zone when the pressure gradient is comparatively low and the nonlinear flow characteristics are quite different from those of low-permeability sandstone reservoirs. Because of the multi-polarization of flow channel radius in vuggy carbonate rocks, fluid stepwise starts flowing as the pressure gradient increases. Vuggy carbonate rock has a pseudo-threshold pressure gradient during the low-velocity flow, but the actual threshold pressure gradient does not exist. The concept of whole channel flow pressure gradient is presented in this paper. The results contribute to improve the understanding of low-velocity flow characteristics of vuggy carbonate reservoirs.

Haitao Guo,Zhenyu Wang,Han Pan,Xin Li,Li Chen,Weili Rao,Yuan Gao,Dequan Zhang 한국식품과학회 2014 Food Science and Biotechnology Vol.23 No.3

Different amounts of the potent mutagenic and/or carcinogenic heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs) areformed in muscle-based foods under different cookingmethods. HAAs (9 varieties) in lamb patties cooked usingtraditional Chinese cooking methods (roasting, frying, panfrying,and stewing in seasonings) were investigated. Thetotal HAAs contents in roasted, fried, pan-fried, and stewedpatties were 4.39-123.15 ng/g, 3.59-43.24 ng/g, 0.71-10.05ng/g, and 51.07-120.32 ng/g, respectively. Amounts of HAAsincreased as cooking time increased. 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo [4,5-b] pyridine (PhIP) was the dominantHAAs in deep roasted and fried samples, while 1-methyl-9H-pyrido [3,4-b] indole (Harman) and 9H-pyrido [3,4-b]indole (Norharman) were the main HAAs in pan-fried andstewed samples. Types and contents of HAAs formed atdifferent cooking times using different methods are unique. Stewing in seasoning generated a higher HAAs contentthan the high-temperature cooking methods roasting,frying, and pan-frying.

A Priority-driven ACO Algorithm for DAG Task Scheduling in Cloud Environment

Haitao Xie,Hongwei Chen,Chunzhi Wang 보안공학연구지원센터 2015 International Journal of Hybrid Information Techno Vol.8 No.6

Task scheduling in cloud environment is a key technical problem on how to allocate available cloud resources to cloud users. Usually, a task in cloud environment can be cut into a serials of subtasks, which have precedence and dependency relationships among themselves. We describe the problem by means of a DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) model. Then, we propose a priority algorithm for DAG task scheduling, and a priority-driven ACO (Ant Colony Optimization) algorithm for DAG task scheduling on the basis of the DAG model. Finally, we compare these two algorithms with the greedy algorithm through simulation in the CloudSim platform. The simulation results show that the priority-driven ACO algorithm is effective to solve DAG task scheduling problem in cloud environment.

Construction of Structured q-ary LDPC Codes over Small Fields Using Sliding-Window Method

Haiqiang Chen,Yunyi Liu,Tuanfa Qin,Haitao Yao,Qiuling Tang 한국통신학회 2014 Journal of communications and networks Vol.16 No.5

In this paper, we consider the construction of cyclicand quasi-cyclic structured q-ary low-density parity-check (LDPC)codes over a designated small field. The construction is performedwith a pre-defined sliding-window, which actually executes the regularmapping from original field to the targeted field under certainparameters. Compared to the original codes, the new constructedcodes can provide better flexibility in choice of code rate, codelength and size of field. The constructed codes over small fields withcode length from tenths to hundreds perform well with q-ary sumproductdecoding algorithm (QSPA) over the additive white Gaussiannoise channel and are comparable to the improved spherepackingbound. These codes may found applications in wirelesssensor networks (WSN), where the delay and energy are extremelyconstrained.

Response spectrum analysis considering non-classical damping in the base-isolated benchmark building

Huating Chen,Ping Tan,Haitao Ma,Fulin Zhou 국제구조공학회 2017 Structural Engineering and Mechanics, An Int'l Jou Vol.64 No.4

An isolated building, composed of superstructure and isolation system which have very different damping properties, is typically non-classical damping system. This results in inapplicability of traditional response spectrum method for isolated buildings. A multidimensional response spectrum method based on complex mode superposition is herein introduced, which properly takes into account the non-classical damping feature in the structure and a new method is developed to estimate velocity spectra from the commonly used displacement or pseudo-acceleration spectra based on random vibration theory. The error of forced decoupling method, an approximated approach, is discussed in the viewpoint of energy transfer. From the baseisolated benchmark model, as a numerical example, application of the procedure is illustrated companying with comparison study of time-history method, forced decoupling method and the proposed method. The results show that the proposed method is valid, while forced decoupling approach can’t reflect the characteristics of isolated buildings and may lead to insecurity of structures.

Molecular Orbital Gating Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering

Guo, Chenyang,Chen, Xing,Ding, Song-Yuan,Mayer, Dirk,Wang, Qingling,Zhao, Zhikai,Ni, Lifa,Liu, Haitao,Lee, Takhee,Xu, Bingqian,Xiang, Dong American Chemical Society 2018 ACS NANO Vol.12 No.11

<P>One of the promising approaches to meet the urgent demand for further device miniaturization is to create functional devices using single molecules. Although various single-molecule electronic devices have been demonstrated recently, single-molecule optical devices which use external stimulations to control the optical response of a single molecule have rarely been reported. Here, we propose and demonstrate a field-effect Raman scattering (FERS) device with a single molecule, an optical counterpart to field-effect transistors (a key component of modern electronics). With our devices, the gap size between electrodes can be precisely adjusted at subangstrom accuracy to form single molecular junctions as well as to reach the maximum performance of Raman scattering via plasmonic enhancement. Based on this maximum performance, we demonstrated that the intensity of Raman scattering can be further enhanced by an additional ∼40% if the orbitals of the molecules bridged two electrodes were shifted by a gating voltage. This finding not only provides a method to increase the sensitivity of Raman scattering beyond the limit of plasmonic enhancement, but also makes it feasible to realize addressable functional FERS devices with a gate electrode array.</P> [FIG OMISSION]</BR>

Ripplocations, kink bands and delamination cracks in carbon cathode materials

Wang Wei,Chen Weijie,Liu Haitao,Zhang Hongtao 한국탄소학회 2019 Carbon Letters Vol.29 No.4

A new deformation micromechanism operating in the carbon cathode for aluminum electrolysis termed a ripplocation has been proposed in this paper. The creep deformation of semi-graphitic cathode was measured using a modified Rapoport equipment at 965 °C with cryolite ratio = 4.0. The characteristic of the defect was obtained by analyzing TEM photograph of the carbon cathode with different testing times. The results indicated that basal dislocations, bulk ripplocations, kink bands and delamination cracks appeared in succession in the first two stages of the creep deformation. Ripplocations in the carbon cathode make a layer of carbon atoms to glide relative to each other without damaging the in-plane bonds. Ripplocations could also attract each other and result in kink boundaries. The creep strain of the carbon cathode could be accommodated by kink band and delamination cracks during aluminum electrolysis. A more comprehensive understanding of their micromechanics behaviors is very important and could deeply influence our current knowledge of the deformation mechanism of the carbon cathode for aluminum electrolysis.

Ethylene Production and Expression of Two Ethylene Biosynthetic Genes in Senescing Flowers of Hosta ventricosa

Xiaoxian Zhu,Haitao Hu,Weidong Guo,Jianhua Chen,Changchun Wang,Ling Yang 한국원예학회 2014 원예과학기술지 Vol.32 No.2

Senescence of Hosta ventricosa flowers was firstly characterized as ethylene-sensitive since the deterioration of the tepal was accompanied by increased endogenous ethylene biosynthesis. The full-length cDNAs and DNAs of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) synthase (ACS) and ACC oxidase (ACO) involved in ethylene biosynthesis were cloned from H. ventricosa flowers. The HvACS ORF with 1347 bp and two introns, encoded a polypeptide of 448 amino acids showing 79% homology with that in Musa acuminata. The HvACO ORF contained 957 bp and three introns, encoding a 318-residue polypeptide showing 83% homology with that in Narcissus tazetta. The timing of the induction of HvACS expression was in correspond to the timing of the increase in ethylene production, and that the up-regulation of HvACO transcript was closely correlated with an elevated ethylene production, but underwent a down-regulation in wounded leaves with elevated ethylene emission. The results, together with expression analysis in vegetative tissues, suggested that both HvACS and HvACO were specifically regulated by flower senescence.
