In response to China's "Regulations on the Management of Earthquake Resistance of Building Constructions" on the provision of eight types of important buildings to maintain functional after fortified earthquakes occur, "Guidelines for Seismic Design of post-quake functional buildings (Draft for Review)" distinguishes Class I and Class II buildings, and gives the performance objectives and seismic verification requirements for design earthquakes and severe earthquakes respectively. In this paper, a hospital and a school building are selected as examples to design according to the requirements of fortification of Intensity 8 and 7 respectively. Two design strategies, the seismic isolation scheme and energy dissipation scheme, are considered which are evaluated through elastic-plastic dynamic time-history analysis to meet the requirement of post-quake functional buildings. The results show that the seismic isolation design can meet the requirements in the above cases, and the energy dissipation scheme is difficult to meet the requirements of the "Guidelines" on floor acceleration in some cases, for which the scheme shall be made valid through the seismic resilience assessment. The research in this paper can provide a reference for designers to choose schemes for post-quake functional buildings.

This paper presents a novel synchronization technique for high frequency rectifier in wireless power transfer (WPT). To overcome the drawbacks of traditional phase-locked method based on DSP controller in high frequency rectifier, a novel phase-locked loop combined with the chained trigger mode (PLL-CTM) is proposed. The reasons why the driver pulses lose have been disclosed in detail. Then, the problem of pulse losing can be solved based on PLL-CTM. Finally, a 500W WPT prototype is built to verify the validity of the proposed synchronization technique.

Self-nitrogen-doped carbon materials derived from the petioles and blades of apricot leaves as metal-free catalysts for selective oxidation of aromatic alkanes

Sun Yongbin,Hao Junlei,Zhu Xuesai,Zhang Baobin,Yin Hao,Xu Shanguang,Hou Chao,Liu Kun 한국탄소학회 2020 Carbon Letters Vol.30 No.2

Carbon materials with tailorable structures and superior properties have great potential applications in environmental protec�tion, energy conversion, and catalysis. Plant biomass as abundant and green non-toxic raw materials has been considered as good precursors for synthesizing heteroatom-doped carbon materials. However, few studies have been reported on the dif�ferent natures of carbon materials derived from diferent parts of the same plant biomass. In this study, we prepared carbon materials from the petioles and blades of apricot leaves by direct pyrolysis without additives. Detailed characterizations indicate that these two carbon materials are similar in element composition and graphitization degree, but difer greatly in surface area and pore volume. These diferences can be attributed to the diferent contents of inorganic salts, vascular bundles, and proteins in petioles and blades. When used as catalysts for the oxidation of ethylbenzene, the petiole-derived carbon shows better catalytic performance than the blades derived carbon due to its high surface area, large average pore size, and doped nitrogen atoms. Furthermore, the carbon catalysts derived from the petioles and blades of poplar leaves and parasol tree leaves show the same diference in catalytic reaction, implying that the above-mentioned conclusion is rather universal, which can provide reference for the synthesis of carbon materials from leaves.

Synthesis of g-C3N4/CQDs composite and its photocatalytic degradation property for Rhodamine B

To solve the problem of water pollution, researchers have proposed a photocatalytic degradation technology, in which the key factor is the development of efficient photocatalytic materials. Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), an n-type semiconductor, has been widely studied due to its suitable band gap (2.7 eV), low cost, easy preparation, non-toxicity, and high photostability. However, the pure-phase g-C3N4 still has defects such as low specific surface area, insufficient visible light absorption, low charge mobility, few active sites for interfacial reaction, and easy recombination of photogenerated electron–hole pairs, which leads to the lower photocatalytic activity of g-C3N4. Aiming at the problems mentioned above, this paper focus on the synthesis of g-C3N4-based composites with high photocatalytic activity via lemon juice induction method. Thiourea and lemon juice were selected as precursors, and carbon quantum dots (CQDs) as electron mediators were introduced anchoring on the surface of g-C3N4 to build g-C3N4/CQDs with compact interface. The results showed that small-sized CQDs are uniformly distributed on the surface of g-C3N4, and the g-C3N4/CQDs composite has a 2D0D structure, which reduces the recombination of photogenerated electron–hole pairs. The photocatalytic degradation efficiency of 4% g-C3N4/CQDs for RhB reaches the highest data of 90.9%, and the photocatalytic degradation rate is 0.016 min−1, which is about 2.3 times that of g-C3N4. After four cycles of photocatalytic reaction, the photocatalytic degradation efficiency of the material remained at 81.7%. Therefore, the g-C3N4/CQDs synthesized via lemon juice induction has a more stable microstructure, and the charge separation efficiency is greatly improved, which is suitable for practical photocatalytic environmental protection.

Opinion Objects Identification and Sentiment Analysis

Ouyang Chunping,Liu Yongbin,Zhang Shuqing,Yang Xiaohua 보안공학연구지원센터 2015 International Journal of Database Theory and Appli Vol.8 No.6

Sentiment analysis of reviews has been the focus of recent research, which also has been attempted in different domains such as product reviews, movie reviews, and customer feedback reviews. Most sentiment analysis of reviews focused on extracting overall evaluation for a single product which makes difficult for a customer to know all the features of product and make a decision. Thus, mining this data, identifying the user opinions about different features and classify them is an important task. This paper is devoted to identify opinion object from short comments, and analyze sentiment of product based on features-level. CRFs model based on word embedding feature is adopted by identifying opinion object, which obtains a satisfied results. In addition, calculate rules based on syntax parsing are proposed to accomplish features-level sentiment analysis which extracts user’s opinion on many aspects. Experimental results using short comments of movies show the effectiveness of our approach.

Recognition of rolling bearing fault patterns and sizes based on two-layer support vector regression machines

Changqing Shen,Dong Wang,Yongbin Liu,Peter W. Tse,Fanrang Kong 국제구조공학회 2014 Smart Structures and Systems, An International Jou Vol.13 No.3

The fault diagnosis of rolling element bearings has drawn considerable research attention in recent years because these fundamental elements frequently suffer failures that could result in unexpected machine breakdowns. Artificial intelligence algorithms such as artificial neural networks (ANNs) and support vector machines (SVMs) have been widely investigated to identify various faults. However, as the useful life of a bearing deteriorates, identifying early bearing faults and evaluating their sizes of development are necessary for timely maintenance actions to prevent accidents. This study proposes a new two-layerstructure consisting of support vector regression machines (SVRMs) to recognize bearing fault patterns and track the fault sizes. The statistical parameters used to track the fault evolutions are first extracted to condense original vibration signals into a few compact features. The extracted features are then used to train the proposed two-layer SVRMs structure. Once these parameters of the proposed two-layer SVRMs structure are determined, the features extracted from other vibration signals can be used to predict theunknown bearing health conditions. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated by experimental datasets collected from a test rig. The results demonstrate that the proposed method is highly accurate in differentiating between fault patterns and determining their fault severities. Further, comparisons are performed to show that the proposed method is better than some existing methods.

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Lipases are widely present in various plants, animals and microorganisms, constituting a large category of enzymes. They have the ability to catalyze the cleavage of ester bonds. The lipase CinB from <I>Enterobacter asburiae</I> (<I>E. asburiae</I>) is an acetyl esterase. The primary amino acid sequence suggests that the EaCinB protein belongs to the α/β-hydrolase (ABH) superfamily of the esterase/lipase superfamily. However, its molecular functions have not yet been determined. Here, we report the crystal structure of <I>E. asburiae</I> CinB at a 1.45 Å resolution. EaCinB contains a signal peptide, cap domain and catalytic domain. The active site of EaCinB contains the catalytic triad (Ser180-His307-Asp277) on the catalytic domain. The oxyanion hole is composed of Gly106 and Gly107 within the conserved sequence motif HGGG (amino acid residues 106–109). The substrate is accessible between the α1 and α2 helices or the α1 helix and catalytic domain. Narrow substrate pockets are formed by the α2 helix of the cap domain. Site-directed mutagenesis showed that EaCinB-W208H exhibits a higher catalytic ability than EaCinB-WT by approximately nine times. Our results provide insight into the molecular function of EaCinB.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> EaCinB structure contains a signal peptide, cap domain and catalytic domain. </LI> <LI> The active site of EaCinB contains the catalytic triad (Ser180-His307-Asp277). </LI> <LI> The oxyanion hole is composed of Gly106 and Gly107. </LI> <LI> Substrate-binding mode of EaCinB are proposed. </LI> <LI> Site-directed mutagenesis showed that EaCinB-W208H exhibits a higher catalytic ability than EaCinB-WT. </LI> </UL> </P>
