Xiaoxiao Wang,Shaoqing Guo,Liangfu Zhao 대한화학회 2013 Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society Vol.34 No.12

Hβ (core)/SAPO-11 (shell) composite molecular sieve was synthesized by the hydrothermal method in order to combine the advantages of Hβ and SAPO-11 for the methylation of naphthalene with methanol. For comparison, the mechanical mixture was prepared through the blending of Hβ and SAPO-11. The physicochemical properties of Hβ, SAPO-11, the composite and the mechanical mixture were characterized by various characterization methods. The characterization results indicated that Hβ/SAPO-11 composite molecular sieve exhibited a core-shell structure, with the Hβ phase as the core and the SAPO-11 phase as the shell. The pore diameter of the composite was between that of Hβ and SAPO-11. The composite had fewer acid sites than Hβ and mechanical mixture while more acid sites than SAPO-11. The experimental results indicated that the composite exhibited high catalytic performances for the methylation of naphthalene with methanol.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary coconut oil as a medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA) source on performance, carcass composition and serum lipids in male broilers. A total of 540, one-day-old, male Arbor Acres broilers were randomly allotted to 1 of 5 treatments with each treatment being applied to 6 replicates of 18 chicks. The basal diet (i.e., R0) was based on corn and soybean meal and was supplemented with 1.5% soybean oil during the starter phase (d 0 to 21) and 3.0% soybean oil during the grower phase (d 22 to 42). Four experimental diets were formulated by replacing 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100% of the soybean oil with coconut oil (i.e., R25, R50, R75, and R100). Soybean oil and coconut oil were used as sources of long-chain fatty acid and MCFA, respectively. The feeding trial showed that dietary coconut oil had no effect on weight gain, feed intake or feed conversion. On d 42, serum levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were linearly decreased as the coconut oil level increased (p<0.01). Lipoprotein lipase, hepatic lipase, and total lipase activities were linearly increased as the coconut oil level increased (p<0.01). Abdominal fat weight/eviscerated weight (p = 0.05), intermuscular fat width (p<0.01) and subcutaneous fat thickness (p<0.01) showed a significant quadratic relationship, with the lowest value at R75. These results indicated that replacement of 75% of the soybean oil in diets with coconut oil is the optimum level to reduce fat deposition and favorably affect lipid profiles without impairing performance in broilers.

Pharmacokinetic, metabolic stability, plasma protein binding and CYP450s inhibition/induction assessment studies of N-(2-pyridylmethyl)-2- hydroxiymethyl-1-pyrrolidinyl-4-(3-chloro-4-methoxy-benzylamino)-5- pyrimidine-carboxamide as potential type 5 phos

Haijun Qu,Xiaoxiao Hu,Xiaoli Shi,Chuan Wang,Longyuan Wang,Guoping Wang 한국통합생물학회 2019 Animal cells and systems Vol.23 No.3

N-(2-pyridylmethyl)-2-hydroxiymethyl-1-pyrrolidinyl-4-(3-chloro-4-methoxy-benzylamino)-5- pyrimidine-carboxamide (NHPPC) is a new potential of type 5 phosphodiesterase (PDE5) inhibitors, synthesized from the avanafil analogue for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. The targets of this article were to assess plasma protein binding, liver microsomal metabolic stability, inhibition and induction on cytochrome P450 isozymes and the pharmacokinetics of NHPPC. Equilibrium dialysis technique was applied to determine Plasma protein binding (PPB) and NHPPC was evaluated in male Sprague–Dawley rats and Beagle dogs in vivo pharmacokinetic. The NHPPC was highly bound to plasma proteins in rats, dogs and human tested and the mean values for PPB rate were 96.2%, 99.6% and 99.4%, respectively. After in vitro liver microsomes incubated for 60 min, the percent remaining of NHPPC was 42.8%, 0.8% and 42.0% in rats, dogs and human, respectively. In vitro intrinsic clearance was found to be 0.0233, 0.1204 and 0.0214 mL/min/mg protein in rat, dog and human liver microsomes of NHPPC, respectively. NHPPC showed no significant inhibitory effects on major CYP450 enzymes, and had no significant induction potential on CYP1A2 and CYP3A4. Following oral administration in rats and dogs, tmax was 6 and 0.5 h, respectively. The clearance for NHPPC was 1.19 and 1.46 L/h/kg in rats and dogs, respectively. And absolute bioavailability in rat and dog were approximately 34.5% and 53.1%, respectively. These results showed that NHPPC has a good development prospect.

Experimental research on the collapse dynamics of the cavitation bubble near two spherical particles

Xiaoxiao Zheng,Xiaoyu Wang,Xuan Lu,Jin Yuan,Yuning Zhang,Yuning Zhang 대한기계학회 2023 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.37 No.5

In this paper, the collapse dynamics of the cavitation bubble located in the middle position of two spherical particles of the same size are studied with the help of a high-speed photography experimental system. According to a large number of experimental results, the effects of several important parameters (the bubble size and the distance between the bubble and any particle) on the bubble collapse characteristics are revealed. For the process of the bubble collapse, four representative situations (gyro-shaped, drum-shaped, olive-shaped and spherical-shaped collapse) are defined, and three critical parameters of different situations are given based on the dimensionless distance between the bubble and any particle, which are 0.27, 1.17 and 1.56, respectively. Finally, through quantitative research, it is found that the dimensionless distance and the bubble size have a significant impact on the deformation degree of the bubble and the contractive rates at the characteristic bubble wall positions.

Model Following Adaptive Control for a Class of Complex Dynamic Networks Based on the Dynamics of Links

Xiaoxiao Li,Yinhe Wang,Lizhi Liu 제어·로봇·시스템학회 2022 International Journal of Control, Automation, and Vol.20 No.7

This paper investigates the model following adaptive control problem for a class of time-varying complex dynamic networks. The complex dynamic network in this paper can be considered to be composed of two subsystems, the node subsystem and the link subsystem, which are mutually coupled. The dynamics of node subsystem are described by the state vector differential equation and the dynamics of link subsystem are described by the Riccati matrix differential equation. By using the information from the coupling matrix term in dynamics of link subsystem, the adaptive controller is synthesized for node subsystem such that each node is guaranteed to asymptotically track its reference model. Moreover, the results in this paper show that when the state of controlled node subsystem is tracking its reference model, the link subsystem also has the certain dynamic tracking target. Compared with the existing literature, the model matching conditions in this paper are greatly simplified due to the important effect of the dynamics of links. Finally, the given illustrated example is used to verify the validity of the results in this paper.

Thermo-mechanical coupling behavior analysis for a U-10Mo/Al monolithic fuel assembly

Mao, Xiaoxiao,Jian, Xiaobin,Wang, Haoyu,Zhang, Jingyu,Zhang, Jibin,Yan, Feng,Wei, Hongyang,Ding, Shurong,Li, Yuanming Korean Nuclear Society 2021 Nuclear Engineering and Technology Vol.53 No.9

A typical three-dimensional finite element model for a fuel assembly is established, which is composed of 16 monolithic U-10Mo fuel plates and Al alloy frame. The distribution and evolution results of temperature, displacement and stresses/strains in all the parts are numerically obtained and analyzed with a self-developed code of FUELTM. The simulation results indicate that (1) the out-of-plane displacements of Al alloy side plates are mainly attributed to the bending deformations; (2) enhanced out-of-plane displacements appear in fuel plates adjacent to the outside Al plates, which results from the occurred bending deformations due to the applied constraints of outside Al plates; (3) an intense interaction of fuel foil with the cladding occurs near the foil edge, which appears more heavily in the fuel plates adjacent to the outside Al plates. The maximum first principal stresses in the fuel foil are similar for all the fuel plates and appear near the fuel foil edge; while, the through-thickness creep strains of fuel foil in the fuel plate near the central region of fuel assembly are larger, and the induced creep damage might weaken the fuel skeleton strength and raise the fuel failure risk.

Dynamic Event-triggered Adaptive Control for Uncertain Nonlinear Switched Systems Based on MDADT Method

Xueliang Wang,Jianwei Xia,Na Zhang,Miao Yu,Xiaoxiao Guo 제어·로봇·시스템학회 2023 International Journal of Control, Automation, and Vol.21 No.1

This article deals with the dynamic event-triggered tracking control problem for nonlinear switched systems with uncertain nonlinearities. By combining neural network control technology, mode-dependent average dwell time (MDADT) switching rule and dynamic event-triggered strategy, a valid adaptive control scheme is established, which guarantees the boundedness of all signals in the resulting closed-loop system and the tracking error eventually converges to a small neighborhood of the origin under a class of switching signals with MDADT property. Unlike the existing tracking control schemes, the proposed dynamic event-triggered strategy reduce some unnecessary transmissions from controller to actuator and thus saving network resources better. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed control design is verified by a numerical simulation.

Preparation and electrochemical capacitive properties of C–MnO2 composite with foam‑like structure based on modified rubber

Peng Li,Xiaoxiao Ma,Yurong Liang,Junhua Tan,Liyong Wang 한국탄소학회 2019 Carbon Letters Vol.29 No.6

Nanoporous carbon/MnO2 (C–MnO2) composites with foam-like structure based on modified nitrile butadiene rubber were achieved by thermal treatment, followed by alkaline solution etching and dipping method. The XRD, nitrogen adsorption and desorption, and SEM and TEM were used to characterize the microstructure of the obtained C–SiO2, C and C–MnO2. Finally, all the obtained samples have been used in three-electrode system to study the electrochemical properties including cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge/discharge and AC impedance for supercapacitor. The study found that the specific capacity of C–MnO2 electrode material for supercapacitor could reach as high as 109 F/g under the current density of 0.5 A/g, which is much higher than those of the other two. These superior electrochemical properties are attributed to the synergistic effect MnO2 particles with the C matrix which functions as a conductive support.
