Its performance is compared with the conventional air Brayton cycle under five typical engine conditions. The results show that CO2 Brayton cycle proves to be superior to the air Brayton cycle in terms of the system net output power, thermal efficiency and recovery efficiency. In most cases, the recovery efficiency of CO2 Brayton cycle can be higher than 9% and the system has a better performance at the engine＇s high operating load, The thermal efficiency can be as large as 24.83% under 100% olaerating load, accordingly, the net outnut nower of 14.86 kW in nhtnined展开更多

METHODS 12 AHF patients induced by resection of HCC were treated with MARS before orthotopic liver transplantation （OLT）. Their vital signs, urine volume, APACHElll and Glasgow scores were monitored. Routine laboratory blood tests, measurements of coagulatory function, liver and kidney function, serum ammonia, lactic acid and blood gas were conducted before and after treatment with MARS. All of the patients were followed up for a period of 6 months after OLT for prognosis and complication assessment. RESULTS Each patient was treated with MARS for 2-5 times （average of 3.6） with a length of 8-24 h each time. Their mean arterial blood pressure and urine volume were improved, APACHE III and Glasgow scores were better. Liver function was improved with the following alterations before and after treatment with MARS： serum ammonia （127.1±21.4 umol/L vs. 77.4±19.7 umol/L, P〈0.05）, lactic acid （6.53±0.45 mmol/L vs. 3.75± 0.40 mmol/L, P〈0.05） and total bilirubin （452.3±153.7 umol/L vs. 230.9± 115.2 umol/L, P〈0.05）. However, there was no significant change in platelet count （44.25±3.60×10^9/L vs. 43.19±8.26×10^9/L, P〉0.05） on international normalized ratio （INR） （2.74±0.50 vs. 2.82±0.60, P〉0.05）, which showed the safety of MARS. For all patients no serious adverse effects occurred during the treatment with MARS. CONCLUSION MARS is effective and safe for treatment of AHF patients with HCC, especially as a bridge to OLT when a donor organ is not available.展开更多

The diameter of the microspheres is about 100—150 nm, and the average mesopore diameter is 2.55 nm, while the specific surface area is 1 088.9 m2/g. Mesoporous SiO_2 microspheres adsorb glutaraldehyde and immobilize laccase by means of the aldehyde group in glutaral which can react with the amidogen of laccase. The immobilization conditions were optimized at a glutaraldehyde concentration of 0.75%, a crosslinking time of 8 h, a laccase concentration of 0.04 L/L and an immobilization time of 10 h. When diesel leakage concentration was 80 mg/L, the highest corrosion inhibition efficiency of immobilized laccase reached 49.23%, which was slightly lower than the corrosion inhibition efficiency of free laccase(59%). The diesel degradation ratio could reach up to 45%. It has been proved that the immobilized laccase could degrade diesel to inhibit corrosion.展开更多
