Sea sand vanadia-titania magnetite is difficult to pelletize, and it is difficult for iron and steel enterprises touse it as a raw material for ironmaking. In this paper, the high-temperature physicochemical characteristics and sinteringbehavior of sea sand vanadia-titania magnetite were comprehensively studied and systematically evaluated. Thehigh-temperature metallurgical physicochemical characteristics of different iron ore powders and under different experimentalconditions were studied by the micro-sintering experimental system. The high-temperature sintering indexeswere comprehensively evaluated by the grey correlation analysis, and the influence of sea sand ore on sintering performancewas investigated by sintering pot experiment. The research results show that the high-temperature sinteringcharacteristics of sea sand vanadia-titania magnetite were the worst, and the grey correlation degree was the lowest. The high-temperature sintering characteristics of sintered blocks with sea sand ore were affected by changing the basicityand the addition amount of sea sand ore. When the basicity was 0.8 and the addition amount of sea sand ore was15 wt%, the evaluation index of grey relational analysis was the best. The vertical sintering speed and tumble indexwere slightly reduced by adding sea sand ore, but the sinter yield was improved and the particle size distribution of sinterwas optimized. The experimental results provide a certain data reference for the actual production of sinter with seasand vanadia-titania magnetite.

Anomalous magnetization jumps in granular Pb superconducting films

Zhang An-Lei,Jiang Wan-Yan,Chen Xing-Hong,Zhang Xiao-Ke,Lu Wen-Lai,Chen Fei,Feng Zhen-Jie,Cao Shi-Xun,Zhang Jin-Cang,Ge Jun-Yi 한국물리학회 2022 Current Applied Physics Vol.35 No.-

In granular superconductors, the grain boundaries are closely related to the vortex dynamics and the macroscopic superconducting properties. In our research, Pb films with different grain sizes were prepared by tuning the substrate temperature. With the grain size decreasing, Pb films are prone to feature the anomalous magnetization jumps in the M − T curves, while in the M − H curves flux avalanche happens. Both phenomena appear in the same region of the H − T phase diagram and thus are considered to have the same origin. The further theoretical analysis shows that with grain size decreasing the pinning mechanism evolves from a mixed δTc and δl pinning to the δl pinning mechanism. The results shed light on the study of pinning mechanism for granular superconductors and is beneficial to the potential application of manipulating vortex pinning by regulation of intrinsic defects.

Compatibility of Neural Stem Cells with Functionalized Selfassembling Peptide Scaffold In vitro

Zhen Xing Zhang,Ding Jun Hao,Qi Xin Zheng,Yong Chao Wu 한국생물공학회 2010 Biotechnology and Bioprocess Engineering Vol.15 No.4

In this study, we evaluated the behavior of neural stem cells (NSCs) using a new peptide hydrogel scaffold named IKVAVmx, which was made by mixing self-assembling peptide RADA16 and designer peptide RADA16-IKVAV solutions. NSCs derived from rat cerebral cortex were culture-expanded in neuorobasal medium and seeded on the RADA16 and IKVAVmx hydrogels. Cells could penetrate the hydrogels and form a 3D cellular network. Compared to pure RADA16 scaffold, we found that IKVAVmx scaffold significantly promoted cell proliferation and stimulated cell migration into the 3D scaffold. Moreover, Immunocytochemistry and Western blot analysis indicated that the differentiation ratio of neurons from NSCs in IKVAVmx scaffold was higher than that in pure RADA16 scaffold. These results suggested that this new hydrogel scaffold provided an ideal substrate for NSCs 3D culture and suggested its further application for neural tissue engineering.

본 논문은 가중 퍼지소속함수 기반 신경망 (Neural Network with Weighted Fuzzy Membership functions, NEWFM)과 심박수 변이도(Heart Rate Variability, HRV)를 이용하여 우울증 진단알고리즘을 제안하고 있다. 본 알고리즘에서 사용할 NEWFM의 입력특징을 추출하기 위해서 주파수도메인 특징추출, 시간도메인 특징추출, 웨이블릿변환 특징추출, 포인케어변환 특징추출 방법을 이용하여 22개의 초기 HRV특징들을 추출하였다. 또한 NEWFM에서 제공하는 비중복면적 분산측정법 (Non-overlap Area Distribution Measurement, NADM)에 의해 입력특징의 중요도를 평가하여 22개의 초기특징으로부터 중요도가 가장 높은 6개 최적입력특징을 선택하였다. 이 6개 특징을 이용하여 우울증을 진단한 결과는 95.8%의 정확도를 나타내었다. This paper presents an algorithm for depression diagnosis using the Neural Network with Weighted Fuzzy Membership functions (NEWFM) and heart rate variability (HRV). In the algorithm, 22 different features were initially extracted from the HRV signal by frequency domain, time domain, wavelet transformed, and Poincare transformed feature extraction methods; of these 6 optimal features were selected by significance evaluation using Non-overlap Area Distribution Measurement (NADM) based on NEWFM. The proposed algorithm uses these 6 optimal features to diagnose depression with an accuracy of 95.83%.

장진흥(Zhen-Xing Zhang),임준식(Joon S. Lim) 한국지능시스템학회 2011 한국지능시스템학회 학술발표 논문집 Vol.21 No.1

본 연구에서는 감성콘텐츠 자극에 의한 심박수변이도(HRV) 분석을 통하여 자율신경계의 변화에 따라 피로와의 연관성을 알아보고, HRV 평가지표 중 피로와 관련성 있는 지표를 살펴본다. 본 논문의 실험방법은 Krupp의 자가평가 피로도 설문지(SFS, Self-rating Fatigue Scale)를 통해 15명의 피로 환자와 15명의 건강한 피험자들을 구별해내고, 이 피험자들이 13분의 감성 콘텐츠를 보면서 무선 홀터 심장모니터를 이용하여 ECG 신호를 수집하였다. 13분 동안 수집된 ECG신호에서 R-R간격 추출 알고리즘 통해 HRV를 얻었다. 자율신경계와 HRV 연관성을 분석하기 위하여, HRV의 시간영역 특징 SDNN, RMSSD와 주파수영역 특징 VLF, LF, HF, LF/HF rate 6개의 특징을 추출한다. 이런 HRV특징들은 통계기법에 따라 주파수 영역 특징 VLF가 높을 때와 LF가 낮을 때 피로상태를 가지고 있었다. 향후에는 퍼지신경망 기반에 이러한 HRV 시간-주파수 특징들을 이용하여 실시간 피로 검출 알고리즘을 개발할 수 있다.

Strength criterion of plain recycled aggregate concrete under biaxial compression

Zhen-Jun He,Gan-Wen Liu,Wan-Lin Cao,Chang-Yang Zhou,Zhang Jia-Xing 사단법인 한국계산역학회 2015 Computers and Concrete, An International Journal Vol.16 No.2

This paper presents results of biaxial compressive tests and strength criterion on two replacement percentages of recycled coarse aggregate (RPRCA) by mass for plain structural recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) at all kinds of stress ratios. The failure mode characteristic of specimens and the direction of the cracks were observed and described. The two principally static strengths in the corresponding stress state were measured. The influence of the stress ratios on the biaxial strengths of RAC was also analyzed. The experimental results showed that the ratios of the biaxial compressive strength  3f to the corresponding uniaxial compressive strength c for the two RAC are higher than that of the conventional concrete (CC), and dependent on the replacement percentages of recycled coarse aggregate, stress states and stress ratios; however, the differences of tensile-compressive ratios for the two RAC and CC are smaller. On this basis, a new failure criterion with the stress ratios is proposed for plain RAC under biaxial compressive stress states. It provides the experimental and theoretical foundations for strength analysis of RAC structures subject to complex loads.

Zhang, Zhen-Yong,Jin, Xue-Ying,Wu, Rong,Wu, Li-Na,Xing, Rui,Yang, Shu-Juan,Xie, Yao Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2012 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.13 No.3

Aim: We conducted a meta-analysis to analyze the influence of GSTM1 and GSTT1 gene polymorphisms on cervical cancer risk, and explore gene-environment interactions. Methods: Identification of relevant studies was carried out through a search of Medline and the EMbase up to Oct. 2011. All case-control studies that investigated the association between GSTM1 and GSTT1 gene polymorphisms and risk of cervical cancer were included. The pooled odds ratio (OR) was used for analyses of results and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated. Results: A total of 21 case-control studies were included in the meta-analysis of GSTM1 (2,378 cases and 2,639 controls) and GSTT1 (1,229 cases and 1,223 controls) genotypes. The overall results showed that the GSTM1 null was related to an increased risk of cervical cancer (OR=1.50, 95% CI=1.21-1.85). Subgroup analysis were performed based on smoking and ethnicity. Our results showed that smokers with null GSTM1 genotype had a moderate increased risk of cervical cancer (OR=1.85, 95% CI=1.07-3.20). For the ethnicity stratification, moderate significantly increased risk of null GSTM1 genotype was found in Chinese (OR=2.12, 95% CI=1.43-3.15) and Indian populations (OR=2.07, 95% CI=1.49-2.88), but no increased risk was noted in others. Conclusion: This meta-analysis provided strong evidence that the GSTM1 genotype is associated with the development of cervical cancer, especially in smokers, and Chinese and Indian populations. However, no association was found for GSTT1 null genotype carriers.

Clinical and Pathological Factors Related to the Prognosis of Chinese Patients with Stage Ⅰb To Ⅱb Cervical Cancer

Xie, Xiu-Zhen,Song, Kun,Cui, Baoxia,Jiang, Jie,Zhang, You-Zhong,Wang, Bo,Yang, Xing-Sheng,Kong, Bei-Hua Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2012 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.13 No.11

Objective: The aim of this retrospective study is to analyze the clinical and pathological factors related to the prognosis of Chinese patients with stage Ib to IIb cervical cancer. Methods and Results: 13 clinical pathological factors in 255 patients with stage Ib to IIb cervical cancer undergoing radical hysterectomy and systematic lymphadenectomy were analyzed to screen for factors related to prognosis. The cumulative 5-year survival of the 255 patients was 75.7%. The result of the univariate analysis suggested that clinical stage, cell differentiation, depth of cervical stromal invasion, parametrial tissue involvement, and lymph node metastasis were prognostic factors for patients with stage Ib to IIb cervical cancer (P<0.05). Compared with cases with involvement of iliac nodes, obturator nodes, or inguinal lymph nodes, cases with metastasis to the common iliac lymph nodes had a poorer prognosis (P<0.05). Cases with involvement of four or more lymph nodes had a poorer prognosis than those with involvement of three or fewer lymph nodes (P<0.05). Using multivariate Cox proportional hazards model regression analysis, non-squamous histological type, poor differentiation, parametrial tissue involvement, and outer 1/3 stromal invasion were found to be independently related to patients poor prognosis (P<0.05). Conclusion: Non-squamous histological type, poor cell differentiation, parametrial tissue involvement, and outer 1/3 stromal invasion are the independent poor prognostic factors for patients with stage Ib to IIb cervical cancer.
