Tetramethylpyrazine Protects Oxidative Stability and Gelation Property of Rabbit Myofibrillar Proteins

Wang, Jianping,Liu, Ning,Zhang, Feike Korean Society for Food Science of Animal Resource 2019 한국축산식품학회지 Vol.39 No.4

Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP), an alkaloid rich in Ligusticum wallichii and fermented products, possesses multiple pharmacological activities in antioxidant, antiinflammatory, and antibacterial. This study aimed to investigate the effect of TMP (15 mg/L) on the physicochemical and gelation properties of rabbit myofibrillar proteins (MPs) with/without oxidative stress. Results showed that compared to the control, oxidative stress to MPs decreased free thiol content, gel yield, whiteness, water-holding capacity, bounder water, immobilized water, and endogenous tryptophan fluorescence intensity, but increased surface hydrophobicity, dityrosine content, and free water content (p<0.01). Without oxidative stress, MPs treated with TMP increased free thiol content, whiteness, and bound water, but decreased dityrosine content and free water (p<0.05). Under oxidative conditions, all parameters were conversely affected by TMP (p<0.01). The results suggest that TMP can be an antioxidant to decrease the concern on oxidative deterioration during meat processing and storage by improving the oxidative stability, water retention, and gel forming property of rabbit MPs.

Overlapped Segmental Clipping for the PAPR Reduction of the OFDM-OQAM system

( Jianping Wang ),( Jing Yan ),( Zhen He ) 한국인터넷정보학회 2014 KSII Transactions on Internet and Information Syst Vol.8 No.8

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with offset quadrature amplitude modulation (OFDM-OQAM) technique has drawn significant interests in recent years. However, most of the existing OFDM peak-to-average ratio (PAPR) reduction schemes cannot be used in the OFDM-OQAM system directly. In this paper, a modified scheme called overlapped segmental clipping (OS-clipping) is proposed to deal with the high PAPR problem specifically in the OFDM-OQAM system. For the proposed OS-clipping scheme, the input signals are divided into a number of overlapped segments and then the clipping operation is processed on each segment. Simulation results show that the modified scheme used in the OFDM-OQAM system can provide better performance than conventional clipping scheme directly used in the OFDM-OQAM system, and even outperforms conventional clipping scheme applied in the OFDM system.

Midinfrared Pulse Compression in a Dispersion-decreasing and Nonlinearity-increasing Tapered As 2 S 3 Photonic Crystal Fiber

Jianping Shen,Siwei Zhang,Wei Wang,Shuguang Li,Song Zhang,Yujun Wang 한국광학회 2021 Current Optics and Photonics Vol.5 No.3

A tapered As 2 S 3 photonic crystal fiber (PCF) with four layers of air holes in a hexagonal array around the core is designed in this paper. Numerical simulation shows that the dispersion D decreases and the nonlinearity coefficient γ increases from the thick to the thin end along the tapered PCF. We simulate the midinfrared pulse compression in the tapered As 2 S 3 PCF using the adaptive split-step Fourier method. Initial Gaussian pulses of 4.4 ps and a central wavelength of 2.5 μm propagating in the tapered PCF arelocated in the anomalous dispersion region. With an average power of assumed input pulses at 3 mW and a repetition frequency of 81.0 MHz, we theoretically obtain a pulse duration of 56 fs and a compression factor of 78 when the pulse propagates from the thick end to the thin end of the tapered PCF. When confinement loss in the tapered PCF is included in the simulation, the minimum pulse duration reaches 72 fs; correspondingly, the maximum compression factor reaches 61. The results show that in the anomalous-dispersion region, midinfrared pulses can be efficiently compressed in a dispersion-decreasing and nonlinearity-increasing tapered As 2 S 3 PCF. Due to confinement loss in the tapered fiber, the efficiency of pulse compression is suppressed.

Jianping Wang*,Man Shu*,Hong Peng,Shaoqiang Li,Dongming Li,Jingxian Shen,Ming Kuang,Ying Zhang,Zebin Chen 대한외과학회 2023 Annals of Surgical Treatment and Research(ASRT) Vol.104 No.5

Purpose: Reports showed that some of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) patients with lymph node metastasis (LNM) may also gain survival benefit undergone resection. However, the effect of the extent of LNM on prognosis and surgical indication is barely discussed. Methods: From September 1994 to November 2018, primary ICC patients undergone initial curable surgery were enrolled. Based on the extent of LNM, we divided these patients into 4 groups, including patients with no LNM (group N0), LNM to hepatoduodenal ligament or common hepatic artery (region A, group A), LNM to gastrohepatic lymph nodes for left liver ICC and periduodenal and peripancreatic lymph node for right liver ICC (region B, group B), or LNM beyond these regions (region C, group C). Multivariable Cox regression analysis was performed to identify the prognostic factors for recurrence- free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) in all groups. Results: A total of 133 patients were enrolled. There were 56, 21, 17, and 39 patients in groups N0, A, B, and C, respectively. There was significant difference between groups N0 and C in RFS (P < 0.001) and OS (P = 0.002). When we compared group N0 + A + B with group C, we also found that RFS (P < 0.001) and OS (P = 0.007) were significantly different. In multivariable analysis, the extent of LNM was an independent risk factor for RFS (P < 0.050). Conclusion: ICC patients with the LNM to regions A and B could still achieve good prognosis with resection. Surgery should be carefully considered when LNM to region C.

Research on Patchwork's Origin and Development

Wang, Jianping,Li, Xiujie,Mi, Jianuan The Costume Culture Association 2009 Fashion, industry and education Vol.12 No.1

Patchwork is a handicraft to put some certain shapes of small cloths together. Historical records of patchwork was discovered in Ancient Egypt as far back as BC 1000. Patchwork has been popular in the England and in around 13-$14^{th}$ century, European spliced little pieces of cloths for cold necessities, which made the handle of patchwork techniques gradually tend to decorative other than utility. Patchwork designs and techniques were taken across the Atlantic to North America with the early settlers in the mid-eighteenth century. In the early years of $20^{th}$ century, owing to the continuous technological advances, woman got more job opportunities that made patchwork technologies withered. Patchwork art continually evolved on the basis of historical and cultural factors to new styles, the famous Hawaiian, Stained Glass, Mola, Celtic, Victoria, Seminole and many other patchwork styles like that perfect embodied different art and cultures of different nations in different times.

The Opposition of a Leading Akhund to Shi’a and Sufi Shaykhs in Mid-Nineteenth- Century China

Wang Jianping 고려대학교 민족문화연구원 2014 Cross-Currents Vol.- No.12

This article traces the activities of Ma Dexin, a preeminent Hui Muslim scholar and grand imam (akhund) who played a leading role in the Muslim uprising in Yunnan (1856–1873). Ma harshly criticized Shi’ism and its followers, the shaykhs, in the Sufi orders in China. The intolerance of orthodox Sunnis toward Shi’ism can be explained in part by the marginalization of Hui Muslims in China and their attempts to unite and defend themselves in a society dominated by Han Chinese. An analysis of the Sunni opposition to Shi’ism that was led by Akhund Ma Dexin and the Shi’a sect’s influence among the Sufis in China help us understand the ways in which global debates in Islam were articulated on Chinese soil.

Research on four-bar linkage trajectory synthesis using extreme gradient boosting and genetic algorithm

Wang Jianping,Chen Boyan,Wang Youchao,Pu Dexi,Jia Xiaoyue 한국CDE학회 2024 Journal of computational design and engineering Vol.11 No.2

The current study on the synthesis problems of four-bar mechanism trajectories primarily relies on establishing a numerical atlas based on trajectory characteristics and employing neural networks to synthesize mechanism parameters. However, this approach has several shortcomings, including a vast database, inefficient retrieval, and challenges in maintaining accuracy. This paper presents a method for synthesizing a trajectory-generation mechanism that combines the extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) algorithm with a genetic algorithm (GA). The purpose is to synthesize, based on a particular trajectory, the dimensions and installation position parameters of a four-bar mechanism. The paper classifies the trajectories according to their shape features and geometric center placements, thereby improving the accuracy of the XGBoost model for synthesizing mechanisms. The XGBoost algorithm is employed to synthesize the basic dimensional parameters for the mechanism, with the relative slopes of trajectories as input features. The synthesized basic dimensional parameters are turned into parameters for the actual mechanism by researching the scaling, translation, and rotation relationships between mechanisms and the trajectories they generate. The accuracy of the generated trajectories from the synthesized mechanism can be improved by applying GA to optimize the mechanism parameters. Five comparative examples are provided in this research for the different scenarios of given trajectory curves and trajectory points. The effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed approach in this study are validated in comparison to existing research methods by comparing errors between the generated trajectories and the given trajectories.
