Low elastic polymer microsphere (L-EPM) has been proposed as a functional polymer microsphere theseyears. L-EMP has the excellent deformation ability in the porous medium due to the low storage modulus. Herein, one kind of L-EPM with storage modulus (G0) of 23.6 Pa was prepared by inverse suspensionpolymerization. The shear resistance of L-EPM was researched by using coreflooding experiment andhigh shear rate emulsifier. The conformance control behavior of L-EPM was investigated by using doubleparallel sandpackflooding experiment. The results showed that L-EPM was a kind of swollen particle gelwith three-dimensional net structure and contained amide, carboxyl, and sulfonate groups. Themechanism of water swelling property was mainly due to the formation of hydrogen bonds, hydrolysis ofhydrophilic groups and the diffusion caused by osmotic pressure difference. Compared with high elasticpolymer microspheres (H-EPM) and low elastic preformed particle gel (L-PPG), L-EPM had better shearresistance in the porous medium and the well casing perforation. In addition, the critical shear points ofL-EPM was proposed in this work. Due to the better shear resistance and deformation ability, theconformance control behavior of L-EPM showed that L-EPM was a promising conformance control agentin the heterogeneous reservoirs.

Yang, Yuting,Gao, Huan,Li, Xing,Cao, Zhenhui,Li, Meiquan,Liu, Jianping,Qiao, Yingying,Ma, Li,Zhao, Zhiyong,Pan, Hongbin Asian Australasian Association of Animal Productio 2021 Animal Bioscience Vol.34 No.1

Objective: Temperature could influence protein and amino acid deposition as well as gut microbiota profile and composition. However, the specific effects of ambient temperature on amino acids deposition and gut microbiota composition remain insufficiently understood. Methods: A total of 300 one-day-old Avian broilers were randomly divided into three groups and reared at high, medium, and low temperature (HT, MT, and LT), respectively. Breast muscle and fecal samples were collected for amino acid composition analysis and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Results: Our data showed that compared to the MT group, there was a decrease of muscle leucine and tyrosine (p<0.05), as well as an increase of methionine in the HT group (p<0.05) and a decrease of serine in the LT group. Examination of microbiota shift revealed that at genus level, the relative abundance of Turicibacter and Parabacteroides was increased in the HT group (p<0.05) and that the relative abundances of Pandoraea, Achromobacter, Prevotella, Brevundimonas, and Stenotrophomonas in the LT group were higher than those in the MT group (p<0.05). In addition, there were substantial correlations between microbes and amino acids. In the HT group. Turicibacter was negatively correlated with aspartic acid and tyrosine, whereas Parabacteroides was positively correlated with methionine (p<0.05). In the LT group, there were multiple positive correlations between Achromobacter and arginine, isoleucine or tyrosine; between Prevotella and cysteine or phenylalanine; between Brevundimonas and cysteine; and between Stenotrophomonas and cysteine as well as a negative correlation between Stenotrophomonas and serine. Conclusion: Our findings demonstrated that amino acid content of breast muscle and intestinal microbiota profile was affected by different ambient temperatures. Under heat exposure, augmented abundance of Parabacteroides was correlated with elevated methionine. Low temperature treatment may affect muscle tyrosine content through the regulation of Achromobacter.

Yang, Yuting,Shen, Liyan,Gao, Huan,Ran, Jinming,Li, Xian,Jiang, Hengxin,Li, Xueyan,Cao, Zhenhui,Huang, Ying,Zhao, Sumei,Song, Chunlian,Pan, Hongbin Asian Australasian Association of Animal Productio 2021 Animal Bioscience Vol.34 No.7

Objective: The intestinal microbiota plays an important role in host physiology, metabolism, immunity, and behavior. And host genetics could influence the gut microbiota of hybrid animals. The three-way cross model is commonly utilized in commercial pig production; however, the use of this model to analyse the gut microbial composition is rarely reported. Methods: Two three-way hybrid pigs were selected, with Saba pigs as the starting maternal pig: Duroc× (Berkshire×Saba) (DBS) pig, Berkshire×(Duroc×Saba) (BDS) pig. One hundred pigs of each model were reared from 35 days (d) to 210 d. The body weight or feed consumption of all pigs were recorded and their feed/gain (F/G) ratio was calculated. On day 210, 10 pigs from each three-way cross were selected for slaughter, and cecal chyme samples were collected for 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Results: The final body weight (FBW) and average daily gain (ADG) of DBS pigs were significantly higher than those of BDS pigs (p<0.05), while the F/G ratios of DBS pigs were significantly lower than those of BDS pigs (p<0.05). The dominant phyla in DBS and BDS pigs were Bacteroidetes (55.23% vs 59%, respectively) and Firmicutes (36.65% vs 34.86%, respectively) (p>0.05). At the genus level, the abundance of Prevotella, Roseburia, and Anaerovibrio in DBS pigs was significantly lower than in BDS pigs (p<0.01). The abundance of Eubacterium, Clostridium XI, Bacteroides, Methanomassiliicoccus, and Parabacteroides in DBS pigs was significantly higher than in BDS pigs (p<0.05). The FBWs and ADGs were positively correlated with Bacteroides, ClostridiumXI, and Parabacteroides but negatively correlated with the Prevotella, Prevotella/Bacteroides (P/B) ratio, Roseburia, and Anaerovibrio. Conclusion: These results indicated that host genetics affect the cecal microbiota composition and the porcine gut microbiota is associated with growth performance, thereby suggesting that gut microbiota composition may be a useful biomarker in porcine genetics and breeding.

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Soft sensor modeling of indoor air quality (IAQ) in subway stations is essential for public health. Gaussian process regression (GPR), as an efficient nonlinear modeling method, can effectively interpret the complicated features of industrial data by using composite covariance functions derived from base kernels. In this work, an accurate GPR soft sensor with the sum of squared-exponential covariance function and periodic covariance function is proposed to capture the time varying and periodic characteristics in the subway IAQ data. The results demonstrate that the prediction performance of the proposed GPR model is superior to that of the traditional soft sensors consisting of partial least squares, back propagation artificial neural networks, and least squares support vector regression (LSSVR). More specifically, the values of root mean square error, mean absolute percentage error, and coefficient of determination are improved by 12.35%, 9.53%, and 40.05%, respectively, in comparison with LSSVR.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Gaussian process regression (GPR) is proposed to predict particulate matter (PM<SUB>2.5</SUB>) in a subway. </LI> <LI> Compositional structure of different base kernels of GPR is proposed to model PM<SUB>2.5</SUB>. </LI> <LI> GPR with sum of squared-exponential and periodic kernels provides the best modeling performance. </LI> <LI> The proposed GPR was compared with other soft sensors including PLS, ANN, and SVM. </LI> </UL> </P>

Yuhui Yang,Hongbin Chen,Ruquan Zhang,Jingjing Huang,Zhikui Bai,Shili Xiao 한국섬유공학회 2022 Fibers and polymers Vol.23 No.10

The ferric ions sludge produced during pollutants degradation was an obstacle for large scale application of Fentonoxidation technology. Herein, we reported a facile method using 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxygen radical (TEMPO)-oxidized cotton fabric as a substrate for anchoring Fe(II) ions to produce Fe(II)-anchored cotton fabric. The formation ofFe(II)-anchored cotton fabric was confirmed using EDS analysis and FTIR measurement. Bath experiments indicated thatFe(II)-anchored cotton fabric could Fenton oxidize rhodamine B (RhB) dye in a high efficient rate (95.9 %) within 60 minwithout second pollution. Fe(II)-anchored cotton could be reused without any physical/chemical treatment and itsdecolorization efficiency was retained at 89.9 % even after the third cycle. Moreover, the decolorization behavior of Fe(II)-anchored cotton fabric for the RhB solution was affected by H2O2 dosage, Fe(II) ion content, and inorganic salts. Kineticstudy indicated that the RhB decolorization process fits a pseudo-first order well and the sorption isotherm assessmentrevealed that the reactive sorption of RhB dye on Fe(II)-anchored cotton fabric fits the Freundlich model.

Dianhao Zheng,Hongbin Zhang,J. Andrew Zhang,Yang Li 제어·로봇·시스템학회 2019 International Journal of Control, Automation, and Vol.17 No.1

Asynchronous switching differing from asynchronous consensus may hinder the system to reach a consensus. This receives very limited attention, especially when the multi-agent systems have a controller fault. Inorder to analyze the consensus in this situation, this paper studies the consensus of the second-order multi-agentsystems under asynchronous switching with a controller fault. We convert the consensus problems under asynchronousswitching into stability problems and obtain important results for consensus with the aid of linear matrixinequalities. An example is given to illustrate the effect of asynchronous switching on the consensus, and to validatethe analytical results in this paper.

Enhanced crystallization and properties of poly(ethylene terephthalate) nanocomposites with zeolites from 3D to 2D topologies

Wei Zhang,Hongbin Zhang,Liping Yang,Yi Tang,Ping Tang 한국공업화학회 2022 Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Vol.109 No.-

To improve the low crystallization rate and long molding cycle of Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), series of PET nanocomposites incorporated small quantities of zeolites with different topologies were blended by melt compounding. The nucleation influence of 3-dimensional zeolites Y, ZSM-5 and 2- dimensional zeolite MCM-22P on the crystallization manner of PET was analyzed by non-isothermal and isothermal crystallization, quantitative evaluation of nanoparticle dispersion and morphology of nanoparticles. The results show that all PET/zeolite nanocomposites exhibit higher crystallization temperature and faster crystallization rate than PET due to large specific surface area of zeolites and their superior dispersion in the PET matrix. Among them, PET/MCM-22P nanocomposites remarkably improved the crystallization behavior, thermal stability and oxygen barrier properties, which is related to the layered morphology of MCM-22P and hydrogen bond interactions between MCM-22P and PET. It is revealed that MCM-22P can provide more heterogeneous nucleation sites for PET by exfoliation in melting compounding. Furthermore, the nucleation mechanism induced by MCM-22P was investigated by the means of Mozhishen method, Avrami equation and theory of Hoffman-Lauritzen. The results indicate that the incorporation of MCM-22P can decrease the free energy of nucleation and fold surface in PET crystallization process, thus improving the crystallinity.

In polymerflooding process, the poor solubility of polymer and the wrap of incompletely dissolvedpolymer particles with heavy oil lead to the generation of complicated blockage, which seriously affectsthe normal production of wells. Therefore, how to fabricate an effective blockage removal agent isparticularly important. Based on the blockage from Bohai Offshore Oilfield in China, a blockage removalagent composed of (0.5 wt% potassium persulfate + kerosene (the ratio of kerosene: blockage is 3:5)+0.3 wt% OP-10, the oil-water ratio is 1:9) was developed. The removal effect and mechanism werecharacterized by weight loss method and core test. Moreover, the emulsification property of the removalagent was also evaluated by microscopic appearance. The results showed that the blockage removal agentcan be formulated as an O/W emulsion and had good stability for more than 72 h. Core test showed thatthe permeability had a significant improvement after injection of removal agent. The emulsion-typeremoval agent can demulsify after contact with the blockage, then the oil-soluble detergent as internalphase in emulsion can be released which contributes to the wash off of heavy oil. Accompanied with thepolymer degradation by the oxidant, this agent realized the effective dissolution and removal of blockage.

Event-triggered Control of Discrete-time Switched Linear Systems with An Arbitrary Sampling Period

Xiaozeng Xu,Yang Li,Can Liu,Hongbin Zhang 제어·로봇·시스템학회 2021 International Journal of Control, Automation, and Vol.19 No.1

In this paper, the event-triggered control problem for discrete-time switched linear systems with anarbitrary sampling period is considered. At each sampling instant, only the sampled information of system state andswitching signal is available to the controller. Particularly, the sampling period is arbitrary in this paper and frequentswitching is allowed to happen in an inter-event period. Based on that, by constructing a time- and mode-dependentquadratic piecewise Lyapunov function, a new globally exponentially stability (GES) result under modal dwell time(MDT) criteria is obtained. By the novel Lyapunov function and the state variable transformation technique, a statefeedback controller is designed for the switched linear system. At last, a numerical example is proposed to illustrateour approach.

Wanli Kang,Haizhuang Jiang,Hongbin Yang,Zhe Li,Bobo Zhou,Yingqi He,Bauyrzhan Sarsenbekuly,Maratbek Gabdullin 한국공업화학회 2021 Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Vol.97 No.-

CO2 flooding has been widely applied in lots of low permeability reservoirs. After extensive CO2 injection,some reservoirs began to show serious gas channeling problems. CO2 foam had been successfully used tosolve gas channeling problems due to its advantages of water selective plugging features (not pluggingoil). In this paper, a novel CO2 foam system was developed for high temperature and high salinity(HTHS)(85 ℃, 60,000 mg/L) aiming at solving the gas channeling in Changqing Oilfield. Taking the foam half-lifeas the evaluation standard, the optimum foam system (0.5 wt% EC-1 + 1 wt% SiO2) for the target reservoirwas determined. The influences of temperature, salinity and pressure on the CO2 foam performance werestudied by high temperature and high pressure(HTHP)method. The ability and mechanism of anti-gaschanneling were studied by experiments of sand packed tube and microscopic displacement,respectively. The results showed that the foam system possessed good foam properties at HTHS withpressure. As the concentration of SiO2 nanoparticles increased, the resistance factor of the foam systemincreased. However, temperature showed an adverse effect on foam stability, the resistance factordecreased with the increase of temperature. The Jamin superposition and emulsion plugging mechanismof foam system was revealed by microscopic displacement experiments.
