Separation mechanism of chiral compounds in chiral stationary phase liquid chromatography

In this paper,the concept of reversed-or normal-phase chiral stationary phase liquid chromatography has been put forward according to the polar strength of mobile and stationary phases. The statistical model developed in HPLC has been used to investigate the separation mechanism of D-and L-enantiomer in chiral stationary phase liquid chromatography.It has been observed that the variation of capacity factor of enantiomers with mobile phase composition in both reversed-phase and normal-phase chiral stationary phase liquid chromatography can be described by the fundamental elution equation lnk'=a+blnC_b+cC_b.The effect of mobile phase composition on the selec- tivity of enantiomers D and L in normal-phase chiral stationary phase liquid chromatography cam be described by the equation lnα=⊿a+⊿blnC_b,but in reversed-phase chiral stationary phase liquid chromatography the selectivity is almost independant of the mobile phase composition.

Intrinsic component filtering for fault diagnosis of rotating machinery

Fault diagnosis of rotating machinery has always drawn wide attention.In this paper,Intrinsic Component Filtering(ICF),which achieves population sparsity and lifetime consistency using two constraints:l1=2 norm of column features and l3=2-norm of row features,is proposed for the machinery fault diagnosis.ICF can be used as a feature learning algorithm,and the learned features can be fed into the classification to achieve the automatic fault classification.ICF can also be used as a filter training method to extract and separate weak fault components from the noise signals without any prior experience.Simulated and experimental signals of bearing fault are used to validate the performance of ICF.The results confirm that ICF performs superior in three fault diagnosis fields including intelligent fault diagnosis,weak signature detection and compound fault separation.

Synergistic impacts of anthropogenic and biogenic emissions on summer surface O_3 in East Asia

A factor separation technique and an improved regional air quality model （RAQM） were applied to calculate synergistic contributions of anthropogenic volatile organic compounds （AVOCs）,biogenic volatile organic compounds （BVOCs） and nitrogen oxides （NOx） to daily maximum surface O3（O3DM） concentrations in East Asia in summer （June to August 2000）.The summer averaged synergistic impacts of AVOCs and NOx are dominant in most areas of North China,with a maximum of 60 ppbv,while those of BVOCs and NOx are notable only in some limited areas with high BVOC emissions in South China,with a maximum of 25 ppbv.This result implies that BVOCs contribute much less to summer averaged O3DM concentrations than AVOCs in most areas of East Asia at a coarse spatial resolution （1×1） although global emissions of BVOCs are much greater than those of AVOCs.Daily maximum total contributions of BVOCs can approach 20 ppbv in North China,but they can reach 40 ppbv in South China,approaching or exceeding those in some developed countries in Europe and North America.BVOC emissions in such special areas should be considered when O3 control measures are taken.Synergistic contributions among AVOCs,BVOCs and NOx significantly enhance O3 concentrations in the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan region and decrease them in some areas in South China.Thus,the total contributions of BVOCs to O3DM vary significantly from day to day and from location to location.This result suggests that O3 control measures obtained from episodic studies could be limited for long-term applications.
