Phytic acid in grains affects the bioavailability of minerals and nutrients in monogastric animals. Physicochemical properties of Sang-gol, a low-phytate rice cultivar developed to decrease anti-nutrient effect of phytic acid, were compared with those of its parent rice cultivar Il-pum. The amylose content of Sang-gol was lower, but its crude protein content was not significantly different compare with Il-pum. Texture profiles of cooked rice, except for hardness, adhesiveness and chewiness, did not show any differences. The hardness, adhesiveness and chewiness of the Sang-gol were lower than that of Il-pum. Pasting characteristics, peak viscosity, trough, and final viscosity of Sanggol were higher, and breakdown was lower, as compared to Ilpum. Setback of Il-pum was significantly (p <0.01) lower than Ilpum. The pasting temperatures of Sang-gol and Il-pum were very similar (68.1 and 68.0oC), respectively.

The WUSCHEL-related homeobox (WOX) gene family is essential for plant growth and development. However, the identifi cation and evolutionary analysis of WOX genes in the Cucurbitaceae have not been well investigated. In the present work, we performed a genome-wide analysis to identify WOX genes in eleven cucurbit crops. In total, 127 WOX genes were identifi ed in eleven cucurbit crops, and classifi ed into three diff erent clades: the ancient clade, the intermediate clade and the WUS clade. The same clade has comparable gene organization and conserved motif patterns. The cis -acting ele ment analysis revealed that WOX genes were involved in light, hormone and stress in cucurbit crops. Gene duplication analysis indicated that dispersed duplication and whole genome duplication were the two primary causes of WOX genes expansion. There were 24 and 129 gene pairs found within cucurbit crops, and between Cucumis sativus and other cucur bit crops, respectively. After gene duplication, all WOX genes were subjected to substantial purifying selection pressure according to the selective pressure analysis. Functional divergence analysis revealed that ancient and intermediate clades may have descended from some essential amino acid sites rather than diff erent evolution rate. Our research provides a comprehensive analysis of WOX genes which will be helpful for further research into their function study in Cucurbita ceae plants.

Li He,Zheng-Ming Fang,Ting Xue,Er-Fu Zhang,Chun-Li An 대한기생충학ㆍ열대의학회 2019 The Korean Journal of Parasitology Vol.57 No.3

Spargana were collected from human and frogs in Liaoning and Hubei Provinces, China. PCR amplification and direct sequencing of A cox1 fragment was PCR-amplified from genomic DNA extracted from 7 specimens (5 from humans and 2 from frogs). The cox1 fragment (390 bp) showed 97-100% similarity to the reference sequence of S. erina- ceieuropaei and 88-89% to the reference sequence of S. decipiens. There were 1-12 bases different between these worms, but no obvious genetic variation (0-3.3%) to the references. There was little difference of cox1 gene between sparganum samples of humans and frogs (1-3%). This study is the first report on S. erinaceieuropaei spargana from hu- mans in Liaoning and Hubei Provinces.

We developed a Dual-PPACs detector for fast neutron measurements that consists of two sets of PPAC: conventional PPAC and fission PPAC. A²³⁸U(U₃O₈) coating is placed in the fission PPAC's anode, which is used as the neutrons conversion layer. An experiment was performed to measure neutron time-of-flight (TOF) in which ²⁵²Cf spontaneous fission source was used. An excellent time resolution of 164ps has been observed at 6 mbar in isobutene gas. With the excellent time resolution of Dual-PPACs detector, exact neutron energy can be extracted from the timing measurement. The experimental detection efficiency was 1.9 × 10^-7, consistent with the efficiency of 2.5 × 10^-7 given by a Geant4 simulation. Ultimately, the results show that the Dual-PPACs detector is a suitable candidate for measuring fast neutrons in the future CiADS system.

He-Jun Yang,Kai-Gui Xie,Rong-Jong Wai,Chun-Yan Li 대한전기학회 2014 Journal of Electrical Engineering & Technology Vol.9 No.4

This paper presents an analytical technique for reliability evaluation of electrical distribution network (EDN) containing distributed generation (DG). Based on hierarchical levels of circuit breaker controlling zones and feeder sections, a directed-relation-graph (DRG) for an END is formed to describe the hierarchical structure of the EDN. The reliability indices of EDN and load points can be evaluated directly using the formed DRG, and the reliability evaluation of an EDN containing DGs can also be done without re-forming the DRG. The proposed technique incorporates multi-state models of photovoltaic and diesel generations, as well as weather factors. The IEEE-RBTS Bus 6 EDN is used to validate the proposed technique; and a practical campus EDN containing DG was also analyzed using the proposed technique.

He, Zhi-Yong,Luo, Jun,Lu, Chun-Xu,Wang, Ping,Xu, Rong,Li, Jin-Shan Korean Chemical Society 2011 Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society Vol.32 No.8

Direct nitrolysis of 3,7-dinitro-1,3,5,7-tetraazabicyclo[3,3,1]nonane (DPT) is a feasible way to synthesize HMX, and it has multiple practical applications. In this paper, a new nitrolysis process involving the use of an $N_2O_5-HNO_3$ system catalyzed by acidic ionic liquids (AILs) was developed. The results show that [$Et_3NH$]TsO was the best catalyst among the 28 AILs used and that HMX was formed at a higher yield of 61%, compared to 45% without any AIL. Moreover, with the addition of $N_2O_5$, the yield was further increased to a maximum value of 69%. The AILs were also efficiently recovered by simple extractions without any apparent loss of catalytic activity, even after five runs.

Research on DC Component Disturbance Suppression Strategy of Islanded T-Type Three-Level Inverter Based on Improved Backstepping Control Theory

He Guo-Feng,Zhou Zi-Chun,Luo Shuang,Li Gou-Jiao 대한전기학회 2024 Journal of Electrical Engineering & Technology Vol.19 No.3

Aiming at the problem that the DC component in the output voltage of the T-type three-level inverter in the island mode is obvious, due to its hardware diferences, a nonlinear control strategy combining the backstepping method, sliding mode theory, and the principle of the second-order generalized integrator (SOGI) is proposed. Firstly, the DC component in the output voltage of the inverter is regarded as a disturbance, and the mathematical model of the inverter with DC component disturbance is established. Secondly, the detected neutral point potential deviation of the DC side of the inverter is compensated to the modulation signal by proportional–integral (PI) control, to maintain the normal operating state of the three-level inverter. Then, the backstepping-sliding mode controller is constructed to improve the robustness T-type three-level inverter. And the SOGI is utilized to overcome the shortcomings of backstepping control which is easy to amplify the measurement noise and cause diferential explosion. Meanwhile, the stability of the designed controller is analyzed by using the Lyapunov stability principle. Finally, the efectiveness of the proposed control strategy is verifed by 10 kW prototype. The experimental results show that the proposed control strategy can not only efectively suppress the DC component of the inverter output voltage and improve the robustness of the system, but also has fast dynamic characteristics.

The Influence of Construction Scheme of Asymmetric Three-Cabin Utility Tunnelling on the Surface Settlement Behaviour

Zuo Chun Li,Gui He Wang,Jun Wei Hao,Yao Zhou,Xiao Yang Wang,Heng Xuan,Feng Huang 대한토목학회 2021 KSCE JOURNAL OF CIVIL ENGINEERING Vol.25 No.9

The asymmetric three-cabin structure is one of the favourite choices in urban utility tunnel engineering, as it can provide a higher space utilization and clearer classification for pipelines. However, few work has been done on utility tunnel in such special cross-section during undercutting construction until now. Besides, as the loose soil layers such as sand and silt are often encountered during the utility tunnelling, its influence on surface settlement become one of the main concerns. This study focuses on the influence of the construction scheme on the surface settlement details for an asymmetric three-cabin utility tunnel. A 3D finite element method (FEM) model was established including both the stratum and a utility tunnel based on the Beijing Daxing International Airport (BDIA) Expressway Urban Utility Tunnel project. With this model, the behaviour of the surface settlement with the undercutting construction of the utility tunnel was investigated, and the causes and values of surface settlement in five construction stages were analyzed. By changing the construction spacing and sequence of mid and side cabins, the surface settlement and structural deformation were compared. The numerical results demonstrated a strong correlation between the cross-section shape and surface settlement characteristics. And the symmetry line of the surface settlement trough was offset by 1 m to the side with the larger cross-section. The second (excavation of upper bench in mid-cabin) and fourth (excavation of upper bench in side-cabin) stages caused the largest surface settlement, which were 41.9% and 18.07% of the total settlement, respectively. In addition, after optimizing the field tunnelling scheme, the surface settlement was reduced by 31.9% using the side-tunnel first construction sequence. The proposed numerical model is able to predict the settlement characteristics in each construction stage, which is important and provides a basis for further studies on the surface settlement mechanism and optimal design of the asymmetric three-cabin utility tunnelling scheme.
