<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>A new fluorine-doped porous carbon-decorated Fe<SUB>3</SUB>O<SUB>4</SUB>-FeF<SUB>2</SUB> composite, referred to as Fe<SUB>3</SUB>O<SUB>4</SUB>-FeF<SUB>2</SUB>@CF<SUB>x</SUB>, was prepared for the first time. The formation mechanism is discussed, and a new concept of introducing double layers of FeF<SUB>2</SUB> and CF<SUB>x</SUB> into the oxide-based anode is presented for lithium ion batteries. Varying the amount of fluorine precursor, derivatives of Fe<SUB>3</SUB>O<SUB>4</SUB>@CF<SUB>x</SUB> and FeF<SUB>2</SUB>@CF<SUB>x</SUB> were further obtained, allowing an original analysis of their electrochemical behaviors.

Hai Ming Ni,Da Wei Qi,Hongbo Mu 보안공학연구지원센터 2015 International Journal of Hybrid Information Techno Vol.8 No.1

Fingerprint features recognition which can be used to distinguish between individuals is an intriguing study with many potential applications. In this paper, a new method for fingerprint recognition based on multifractal spectrum theory was proposed. The recognition process can be divided into the following main steps: (1) Extracting the core point in fingerprint; (2) Fragmenting the fingerprint image to get a subimage with fixed size; (3) Thinning the fingerprint image by using an improved OPTA algorithm; (4) Segmenting the curves in fingerprint image into digital straight segments with normalized straight length threshold; (5) Selecting the appropriate dividing scale to segment the processed fingerprint image; (6) Calculating and analyzing the multifractal spectrum curve - f (a) ; (7) Fitting curve equation and extracting the characteristic parameters of a - f(a); (8) Finally, the parameters matching and fingerprint feature recognition. A large number of experimental results show that our method is effective.

Hai-Hai Jiang,Ming-Wei Li,Min-Jun Xu,Wei Cong,Xing-Quan Zhu 대한기생충학열대의학회 2015 The Korean Journal of Parasitology Vol.53 No.4

Toxoplasmosis, caused by Toxoplasma gondii, is a parasitic zoonosis with worldwide distribution. The present study investigated the prevalence of T. gondii in dogs in Zhanjiang city, southern China, using both serological and molecular detection. A total of 364 serum samples and 432 liver tissue samples were collected from the slaughter house between December 2012 and January 2013 and were examined for T. gondii IgG antibody by ELISA and T. gondii DNA by semi-nested PCR based on B1 gene, respectively. The overall seroprevalence of T. gondii IgG antibody was 51.9%, and T. gondii DNA was detected in 37 of 432 (8.6%) liver tissue samples. These positive DNA samples were analyzed by PCRRFLP at 3- and 5-SAG2. Only 8 samples gave the PCR-RFLP data, and they were all classified as type I, which may suggest that the T. gondii isolates from dogs in Zhanjiang city may represent type I or type I variant. This study revealed the high prevalence of T. gondii infection in dogs in Zhanjiang city, southern China. Integrated measures should be taken to prevent and control toxoplasmosis in dogs in this area for public health concern.

Mechanosensitive Modulation of Receptor-Mediated Crossbridge Activation and Cytoskeletal Organization in Airway Smooth Muscle

Hai, Chi-Ming The Pharmaceutical Society of Korea 2000 Archives of Pharmacal Research Vol.23 No.6

Recent findings indicate that mechanical strain (deformation) exerted by the extracellular matrix modulates activation of airway smooth muscle cells. Furthermore, cytoskeletal organization in airway smooth muscle appears to be dynamic, and subject to modulation by receptor activation and mechanical strain. Mechanosensitive modulation of crossbridge activation and cytoskeletal organization may represent intracellular feedback mechanisms that limit the shortening of airway smooth muscle during bronchoconstriction. Recent findings suggest that receptor-mediated signal transduction is the primary target of mechanosensitive modulation. Mechanical strain appears to regulate the number of functional G-proteins and/or phospholipase C enzymes in the cell membrane possibly by membrane trafficking and/or protein translocation. Dense plaques, membrane structures analogous to focal adhesions, appear to be the primary target of cytoskeletal regulation. Mechanical strain and receptor-binding appear to regulate the assembly and phosphorylation of dense plaque proteins in airway smooth muscle cells. Understanding these mechanisms may reveal new pharmacological targets for control1ing airway resistance in airway diseases.

Hai ming Ni,Da wei Qi,Hongbo Mu. 보안공학연구지원센터 2016 International Journal of Smart Home Vol.10 No.4

Nowadays, X-ray computed tomography (CT) wood nondestructive testing technology has been applied to detection of internal defects in log for the purpose of obtaining the optimal wood cutting plan. Multifractal spectrum and wavelet transform are usually used for analyzing, modeling, and extracting different complex features of signals and images. A novel CT image edge detection method which using multifractal spectrum theory combined with wavelet transform is applied in this paper. The new method can be divided into the following main steps: (1) Calculating the wavelet module values of wood defect image. (2) Combining wavelet transform module values with multifractal theory. (3) Calculating the multifractal spectrum from the wavelet transform. (4) Selecting the appropriate threshold to wood defects detection. A large number of experimental results show that the new method to recognize the wood defects is effective.

Cavitation Diagnosis Method for Centrifugal Pumps based on Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering Algorithm

Hai Ming Huang,Yan Liu,Denghao Wu,Yue Zhong Wu,Tian Xin Wu 한국유체기계학회 2023 International journal of fluid machinery and syste Vol.16 No.1

Cavitation in the pump induces vibration and noise, which leads to the degradation of pump performance and damage to the impeller. Therefore, it is of great significance to accurately identify the cavitation state of the centrifugal pump. To determine the cavitation state using the vibration characteristic frequency of the centrifugal pump, it is necessary to accurately identify the characteristic frequency due to the noise's effect. Therefore, a cavitation fault diagnosis method of centrifugal pump based on a cohesive hierarchy algorithm was proposed. Firstly, Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is used to de-noise the vibration signal. Then the root means square of the vibration signal after de-noising is obtained as the eigenvalue of the vibration signal. Secondly, the hierarchical clustering algorithm is used to classify the vibration eigenvalues and accurately identify the non-cavitation and cavitation states of centrifugal pumps. Finally, through experimental tests, the method can effectively and quickly identify the cavitation state of the centrifugal pump, with an accuracy of 95%. The study provides a new way for rapidly diagnosing centrifugal pump cavitation

Ming, Hai,Ming, Jun,Oh, Seung-Min,Tian, Shu,Zhou, Qun,Huang, Hui,Sun, Yang-Kook,Zheng, Junwei American Chemical Society 2014 ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES Vol.6 No.17

<P>A simple surfactant-assisted reflux method was used in this study for the synthesis of cocklebur-shaped Fe<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> nanoparticles (NPs). With this strategy, a series of nanostructured Fe<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> NPs with a size distribution ranging from 20 to 120 nm and a tunable surface area were readily controlled by varying reflux temperature and the type of surfactant. Surfactants such as cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), poly(ethylene glycol)-<I>block</I>-poly(propylene glycol)-<I>block</I>-poly(ethylene glycol) (F127) and sodium dodecyl benzenesulfonate (SDBS) were used to achieve large-scale synthesis of uniform Fe<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> NPs with a relatively low cost. A new composite of Fe<SUB>3</SUB>O<SUB>4</SUB>@CF<SUB><I>x</I></SUB> was prepared by coating the primary Fe<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> NPs with a layer of F-doped carbon (CF<SUB><I>x</I></SUB>) with a one-step carbonization process. The Fe<SUB>3</SUB>O<SUB>4</SUB>@CF<SUB><I>x</I></SUB> composite was utilized as the anode in a lithium ion battery and exhibited a high reversible capacity of 900 mAh g<SUP>–1</SUP> at a current density of 100 mA g<SUP>–1</SUP> over 100 cycles with 95% capacity retention. In addition, a new Fe<SUB>3</SUB>O<SUB>4</SUB>@CF<SUB><I>x</I></SUB>/LiNi<SUB>0.5</SUB>Mn<SUB>1.5</SUB>O<SUB>4</SUB> battery with a high energy density of 371 Wh kg<SUP>–1</SUP> (vs cathode) was successfully assembled, and more than 300 cycles were easily completed with 66.8% capacity retention at 100 mA g<SUP>–1</SUP>. Even cycled at the high temperature of 45 °C, this full cell also exhibited a relatively high capacity of 91.6 mAh g<SUP>–1</SUP> (vs cathode) at 100 mA g<SUP>–1</SUP> and retained 54.6% of its reversible capacity over 50 cycles. Introducing CF<SUB><I>x</I></SUB> chemicals to modify metal oxide anodes and/or any other cathode is of great interest for advanced energy storage and conversion devices.</P><P><B>Graphic Abstract</B> <IMG SRC='http://pubs.acs.org/appl/literatum/publisher/achs/journals/content/aamick/2014/aamick.2014.6.issue-17/am504144d/production/images/medium/am-2014-04144d_0009.gif'></P><P><A href='http://pubs.acs.org/doi/suppl/10.1021/am504144d'>ACS Electronic Supporting Info</A></P>
