Ting-Ting Li,Fei Sun,Xing Liu,Hua-Ling Wu,Ching-Wen Lou,Jia-Horng Lin 한국섬유공학회 2018 Fibers and polymers Vol.19 No.6

High-modulus PET filaments and thermal bonding are used to reinforce the puncture resistance stability of the insole composite. This study aims to discuss the influences of the amount of low-melting-point polyester fibers (LMPET) and needle densities (ND) on tensile, bursting, and quasi-static puncture resistance properties. Besides, significance of LMPET amount and ND on puncture resistance against flat-head (A), spherical-head (B), and pointed-head (C) probes are in particular investigated to simulate the diversified application environments for insoles. Research result shows that, LMPET amount significantly affects the static puncture resistance against three probes; ND only significantly influences the puncture resistance against Probe A and C. Thermal bonding significantly improves the puncture strength against Probe B with various LMPET amounts of insoles, but evidently increases the puncture resistance against Probe A and C when being punched at various ND. The amount of LMPET fibers has a positive influence on the puncture strength of insoles, and 70 wt% of LMPET provide the average static puncture resistance up to 342.6 N. The high-modulus resultant insoles have advantages of flexibility, ease of process, and bendability with a higher and more stabilized puncture resistances.

Effect of HPFRCC on Seismic Performance of Beam-Column-Slab Subassembly

Ting-Ting Lu,Xing-Wen Liang 대한토목학회 2020 KSCE JOURNAL OF CIVIL ENGINEERING Vol.24 No.12

High performance fiber reinforced cementitious composites (HPFRCC) material exhibits strain-hardening and multiple cracking behaviors. Using HPFRCC in the reinforced concrete (RC) frame is considered to improve the seismic performance and damage mechanism of structure. Three beam-column-slab subassemblies were tested under cyclic loading, and eight frame models were simulation by ABAQUS. In this paper, the effect of substitution of concretewith HPFRCC on the seismic performance and damage mechanism of subassemblies was investigated. According to the test results, the lateral bearing capacity and deformability of beam-column-slab subassemblies increased by above 10% through using the HPFRCC material in the expected damage positions. The shear resistance of the joint zone with HPFRCC material increased by 1.6%, the shear deformation of the joint zone decreased by 7.9%. And the contribution of slab bars to the beam flexural bearing strength also decreased for that the yielding range and the strain amplitude of slab bars are limited through using HPFRCC material. Consequently, the subassemblies were prone to the “strong column - weak beam” damage mechanism to using HPFRCC material in the expected damage positions.

Ting-Ting Sun,Xin-Lei Liang,He-Yun Zhu,Xu-Ling Peng,Xing-Jie Guo,Long-Shan Zhao 고려인삼학회 2016 Journal of Ginseng Research Vol.40 No.3

Background: Among the various ginseng strains, Shizhu ginseng is endemic to China, mainly distributed in Kuandian Manchu Autonomous County (Liaoning Province, China); however, not much is known about the compounds (especially saponins) in Shizhu ginseng. Methods: A rapid, sensitive, and reliable ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with MS/MS (UHPLCeMS/MS) method was developed to separate and identify saponins in Shizhu ginseng. Results: The separation was carried out on a Waters ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18 column (100 mm × 2.1 mm, 1.7 ㎛) with acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution as the mobile phase under a gradient elution at 40℃. The detection was performed on a Micromass Quattro Micro API mass spectrometer equipped with electrospray ionization source in both positive and negative modes. Under the optimized conditions, a total of 31 saponins were identified or tentatively characterized by comparing retention time and MS data with related literatures and reference substances. Conclusion: The developed UHPLCeMS/MS method was suitable for identifying and characterizing the chemical constituents in Shizhu ginseng, which provided a helpful chemical basis for further research on Shizhu ginseng.

Currently, the systems for culturing buffalo spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) in vitro are varied, and their effects are still inconclusive. In this study, we compared the effects of culture systems with undefined (foetal bovine serum) and defined (KnockOut Serum Replacement) materials on the in vitro culture of buffalo SSC-like cells. Significantly more DDX4- and UCHL1-positive cells (cultured for 2 days at passage 2) were observed in the defined materials culture system than in the undefined materials system (p < 0.01), and these cells were maintained for a longer period than those in the culture system with undefined materials (10 days vs. 6 days). Furthermore, NANOS2 (p < 0.05), DDX4 (p < 0.01) and UCHL1 (p < 0.05) were expressed at significantly higher levels in the culture system with defined materials than in that with undefined materials. Induction with retinoic acid was used to verify that the cultured cells maintained SSC characteristics, revealing an SCP3+ subset in the cells cultured in the defined materials system. The expression levels of Stra8 (p < 0.05) and Rec8 (p < 0.01) were significantly increased, and the expression levels of ZBTB16 (p < 0.01) and DDX4 (p < 0.05) were significantly decreased. These findings provided a clearer research platform for exploring the mechanism of buffalo SSCs in vitro.

Cai-e Wu,Jian-Ting Yang,Gong-Jian Fan,Ting-Ting Li,Zhen-Xing Tang,Fu-Liang Cao 한국식품과학회 2016 Food Science and Biotechnology Vol.25 No.3

Ginkgo biloba L. can cause allergic reactions when consumed. In this paper, an allergy test to guinea pig was investigated. Guinea pigs were sensitized with 50 mg/mL of ginkgo kernel protein orally on days 1, 3, and 5, and intraperitoneally challenged with 100mg/mL of the protein on day 7 after the last sensitization. The volume of sensitization and challenge was 0.20mL/100 g weight. The results showed the average allergy grade for guinea pigs reached four and the allergy rate was 100%. The immunoglobulin G and E levels in sera were significantly higher than those in the controls. Footpads swelled distinctly, and the passive cutaneous allergy test manifested a positive response. There were inflammatory changes in the lungs and intestines. In conclusion, the present results may indicate that gingko kernel protein has an allergenic capacity.

A Proteomic Analysis of Leaf Responses to Enhanced Ultraviolet-B Radiation in Two Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Cultivars Differing in UV Sensitivity

Xing-Chun Wu,Chang-Xun Fang,Jin-Yang Chen,Qing-Shui Wang,Ting Chen,Wen-Xiong Lin,Zhong-Liang Huang 한국식물학회 2011 Journal of Plant Biology Vol.54 No.4

To determine the proteomic response to UV irradiation, two cultivars, i.e., Lemont (UV tolerant) and Dular (UV sensitive), were exposed to natural and enhanced ultraviolet-B (UV-B) irradiation for 1, 7, and 14 days, and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis in combination with mass spectrometry (MS) and bioinformatics were used to compare the different proteomic responses in the leaves of the two cultivars. Thirty-nine proteins were up- or downregulated following the UV-B treatments. Among them, 30 increased or decreased more than 1.5-fold in abundance. They were further tested by using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight MS and performed a database search. Twentyfour proteins were thus identified. These identified proteins were mostly upregulated in Lemont, whereas only 14 of them upregulated in Dular. Nine proteins involved in glycometabolism and fatty acid metabolisms, signal transduction, and protein synthesis and folding in Dular were not changed. These results suggest that there was a complex regulative mechanism on the proteomes in rice leaves upon UV-B exposure.

Six‑phase drive‑based integrated onboard battery charger for electric vehicles considering zero‑sequence circulating current elimination

Ting Ji,Feng Yu,Qihao Yin,Xing Liu 전력전자학회 2023 JOURNAL OF POWER ELECTRONICS Vol.23 No.3

The concept of the integrated onboard battery charger (IOBC) provides electric vehicles (EVs) with access to the integration of the drivetrain and the charger. In this paper, an IOBC based on a six-phase drive is studied. In the charging mode, the IOBC is equivalent to a paralleled three-phase voltage source rectifier (PTP-VSR) with common ac and dc sides. Such operation leads to a zero-sequence circulating current (ZSCC), which causes current waveform distortion and the resultant power loss. This paper proposes a novel ZSCC elimination strategy, which is in principle tied to finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC). By modifying the control set (CS), the ZSCC can be naturally circumvented without increasing the complexity of the control system. Furthermore, an enhanced phase-locked loop (EPLL) based on the second-order generalized integrator (SOGI) is proposed, by which, only sampling a line voltage is required. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed strategy and EPLL are experimentally validated.

Ting Wang,Junnan Wei,Huai Liu,Yunchao Feng,Xing Tang,Xianhai Zeng,Yong Sun,Tingzhou Lei,Lu Lin 한국공업화학회 2020 Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Vol.81 No.-

2, 5-Bishydroxymethylfuran (BHMF) has been currently emerged as a promising biomass-derivedmonomer. It is highly desirable to proceed a chemical process at a high substrate concentration, by whicha facile and cost-effective separation of products can be expected. Herein, we report for thefirst time onthe hydrogenation of highly concentrated 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in deep eutectic solvents(DESs), giving a near quantitative selectivity towards BHMF in ChCl-glycerol DES at 25 C in 3 h usingNaBH4 as the H-donor. DES is hailed as a new class of green solvent, in which HMF/BHMF could bestabilized by the strong hydrogen-bond interaction, and allowed the selective hydrogenation of HMF athigh concentration up to 40 wt%. Notably, the resulting BHMF could be facilely separated by extractionwith ethyl acetate, and then high purity of BHMF with a desirable isolated yield around 80% was obtainedafter removing of ethyl acetate. Additionally, the reaction efficiency of HMF hydrogenation in DESs wasverified to be strongly associated with the viscosity of DESs and the pKa value of hydrogen-bonding donor.

Ting Zhang,Xuze Qin,Yuxin Cao,Jianxin Zhang,Jun-Xing Zhao 한국식품과학회 2020 Food Science and Biotechnology Vol.29 No.11

The objective of this study is to investigate theeffects of sea buckthorn oil (SBO) on proliferation, adipogenicdifferentiation and insulin sensitivity of 3T3-L1cells. Results showed that SBO increased cell proliferationability, accompanied by up-regulated proliferating cellnuclear antigen content (p\0.05) and p38 activity(p\0.05). SBO also promoted adipogenesis and enhancedadipogenic transcriptional factors expression. Mitochondrialbiogenesis related gene expressions were elevated inSBO treated cells (p\0.05). Of note, SBO also increasedglucose uptake and glucose transporter 4 abundance(p\0.05). Cells treated with SBO exhibited greaterphosphorylated insulin receptor substrate 1 (p\0.05),phosphorylated-Akt (p\0.05) and phosphorylated AMPactivatedprotein kinase (p\0.01) contents. When takentogether, these results suggest that SBO promotes 3T3-L1cells proliferation, adipogenesis and insulin sensitivity.
