In this paper, the injection characteristics and macroscopic spray behavior of biodiesel and diesel fuel within a common rail system are investigated. The injection rate is measured with Bosch method, spray visualization system is employed to study the macroscopic spray characteristics of both fuels. The results show that the injection delays of biodiesel and diesel are almost the same. Comparing to diesel, injection duration of biodiesel is a little longer and injection fuel quantity is a little larger. The macroscopic spray result shows, with increased injection pressure, the tip penetration of biodiesel becomes longer and the spray cone angle becomes larger. When ambient pressure increases, the injection tip penetration becomes shorter and the spray cone angle becomes larger. Comparing to diesel, injection tip penetration of biodiesel is longer and spray cone angle is smaller, because the kinematic viscosity and surface tension of biodiesel are larger than those of diesel. The difference of spray characteristics of both fuels is no longer obvious under higher injection pressure. With increased ambient pressure, the difference of spray tip penetration of both fuels becomes larger, and the difference of spray cone angle become smaller.

Natural ester is a suitable substitute for mineral oil and has been widely used in AC transformer in many countries. In order to further application of natural ester in direct current (DC) equipment, it is needed to investigate its long term insulation property under DC condition. In this paper, a thermal ageing experiment was conducted for both mineral oil-paper and natural ester-paper insulation. The DC breakdown and space charge characteristics of insulation paper impregnated with natural ester and mineral oil was compared. Results show that the resistivity of the paper immersed in natural ester and mineral oil both increase as the ageing goes on. While insulation paper impregnated with natural ester has higher resistivity and DC breakdown voltage than the paper impregnated with mineral oil. The DC breakdown voltage for the oil impregnated insulation paper being DC pre-stressing is higher than that without pre-stressing. The average DC breakdown field strength difference between the test with pre-stressing and without pre-stressing clearly shows that there is an apparent enhancement effect for the homo-charge injection on the DC breakdown.

Liu Hao,Fan Jiyu,Zheng Huan,Rahman Azizur,Qian Fengjiao,Wang Caixia,Ma Chunlan,Zhu Yan,Yang Hao 한국물리학회 2021 Current Applied Physics Vol.28 No.-

The structure, surface topography and magnetic properties of LaCoO3 (LCO) thin films deposited epitaxially on the SrTiO3 substrates have been investigated in detail. The LCO thin films show a typical ferromagneticparamagnetic (FM-PM) phase transition at 78 K. Based on the measurements of isothermal magnetization around the Curie point, the magnetic entropy change (ΔSM) of LCO thin films under various applied magnetic fields were obtained. By utilizing scaling theory, all of the ΔSM curves can be re-scaled, confirming that the FMPM phase transition is second-order magnetic phase transition. Moreover, the magnetic entropy change -ΔSM features a maximum around TC, whereas, power law fitting of -ΔSmax M with H gives n = 0.9704, which is obviously deviating from the standard value n = 2/3 for the Landau mean field model. This indicates that the mean field theory cannot be used to explain the critical behavior of LCO thin films which implies that the critical behavior of LCO thin films may involve complex magnetic interactions. These interactions are correlated with a long-term puzzling finding in this system why its Curie point is always around 80 K regardless of the different fabrication methods and conditions used in the film growth.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the effects of soft pellet creep feed (SPCF) on growth performance and intestinal development in piglets. Methods: A total of 18 sows and their litters of crossbred piglets (14±2 days, 3.73±0.72 kg) were assigned to one of three dietary groups receiving i) powder creep feed (PCF), ii) hard pellet creep feed (HPCF) or iii) SPCF during the pre-weaning period. After weaning, piglets were selected for continuous evaluation of the three diets on growth performance and intestinal health. Results: In the pre-weaning period, the average daily feed intake and average daily dry matter intake were significantly higher in the SPCF group than the HPCF group (p<0.05). In the post-weaning and entire experimental period, the different diets had no significant effect on growth performance. At 10 d after weaning, the serum glucose concentration was lower in the SPCF group (p<0.05) than the other groups; a higher (p<0.05) villus height and lower (p<0.05) crypt depth in the jejunum were also observed in the SPCF group than the other groups; Meanwhile, in the duodenum and jejunum, the SPCF group had a higher (p<0.05) villus height to crypt depth ratio than the other groups; Furthermore, the higher (p<0.05) threshold cycle values of lactic acid bacteria and lower (p<0.05) threshold cycle values of Clostridium, Enterobacter and Escherichia coli were also observed in the SPCF group, and the sucrase and maltase activity was higher (p<0.05) in the SPCF group than the other groups in duodenum and ileum. Conclusion: The SPCF improved pre-weaning feed intake and decreased the negative effects of weaning stress in the intestine in piglets.

Low-intensity blood flow restriction training is comparable to traditional high-intensity resistance exercises in increasing muscle strength and size. However, determining the optimal level of restriction pressure for blood flow restriction training has remained a challenging issue. In this study, we enlisted 32 healthy adult men and conducted repeated measurements at one-week intervals to explore this issue. Prior to the experiment, we accurately measured the arterial occlusion pressure (AOP) of participants lower limbs using a color vascular Doppler ultrasound device. Surface electromyography was then utilized to monitor the impact of blood flow restriction squat training at varying relative restriction pressures (0%, 60%, 70%, 80% AOP) on the muscle activity (RMSMVC%) in lower limb muscles(RF, VMO, VLO, BF, SM, GM). The results showed significant variations in the activity of major lower limb muscles at different levels of restriction pressure (p<.05). Notably, blood flow restriction training at 60% to 80% AOP resulted in significantly greater muscle activation than low-intensity exercise without blood flow restriction (p<.05), indicating that low-intensity squat training with blood flow restriction enhances thigh muscle activation. Additionally, the study found that thigh muscle activity at restriction pressures above 70% AOP was significantly greater compared to 60% AOP (p<.05). However, there was no significant difference in thigh muscle activation between the 70% and 80% AOP levels (p>.05). This suggests that restriction pressures above 70% AOP are most effective in activating thigh muscles, but increasing the pressure beyond 70% AOP does not yield additional significant benefits. Therefore, setting the restriction pressure to 70% AOP during lower limb blood flow restriction training is optimal for maximizing fast-twitch muscle fiber recruitment and enhancing muscle adaptation.

Hao Zhang,Jing Sun,Xianting Liu,Chuan Hong,Yuanbo Zhu,Aiping Liu,Siqi Li,Huiyuan Guo,Fazheng Ren 한국미생물학회 2013 The journal of microbiology Vol.51 No.6

Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei LC01 (LC01) can tolerate intestinal stresses and has antioxidant activity. To evaluate the effect of the bacterium on human intestinal microflora,a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human trial was carried out. Fifty-two healthy adult volunteers were randomized equally to two groups. One group consumed 12% (wt/vol) skimmed milk supplemented with 1010 CFU of LC01 each day for the 4-week treatment period,and then consumed placebo in the next treatment period,separated by a 2-week washout. The other group followed the reverse order. Group-specific real-time PCR and biochemical analyses was used to determine the intestinal bacterial composition of fecal samples collected at the end of every period, and the concentration of short-chain fatty acids and ammonia. A significant inhibition in fecal Escherichia coli and increase in Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Roseburia intestinalis were observed after consumption of LC01. Acetic acid and butyric acid were significantly higher in the probiotic stage and fecal ammonia was significantly lower. The results indicated a modulation effect of LC01 on the intestinal microflora of young adults, suggesting a beneficial effect on bowel health. LC01 may have potential value as a probiotic.
