Transmission electron micrography was used to detect the appearances of the prepared liposomes, and the liposome diameter was also measured. The prepared liposomes were sphere in shape with the mean diameter of 217 nm and span of 0.838. The phospholipid bilayer structure, suitable for entrapping various effector molecules, could be seen clearly under transmission electron microscopy. The bile salts of sodium cholate and sodium deoxycholate were used as the surfactants to investigate their interaction with liposomes. The turbidities for the mixture of bile salts and liposomes were evaluated by the visible spectrometry method at the wavelength of 500 nm. And the diameter changes of liposomes were also tested to examine the effect of bile salts on liposomes. At the beginning, the diameters and turbidities of liposomes increased a little as the result of mixed micelles formation during the different stages for the structure changes of surfactant-liposomes micelles. The further added bile salts decreased the diameters and turbidities of liposomes. The liposome suspension underwent several rearrangements before small mixed micelles formed. And the diameter of liposomes changed regularly. The interaction of bile salts and liposomes is important for the further study of the behaviors of liposomes in vivo. The drug loaded and release properties of liposomes can also be well reflected by the interaction of liposomes and surfactants.展开更多

The quantum operations used in the information-transmission process are just only one Bell-state measurement, and a series of single-qubit operation. It is shown that the fidelities of the controlled telecloning and teleflipping are independent of the initial states and reach their optimal values of 5/6 and 2/3 respectively on the condition that all the agents collaborate. If any one agent does not cooperate, the fidelities become state-dependent and are always smaller than the corresponding optimal values. The average fidelities are equal to the balanced value 1/2, which implies that on average the state ineepted by any one of the receivers is a fuUy mixed state. Thus no information leaks out to any dishonest receivers. The security of telecloning and teleflipping have been increased greatly.展开更多

The optimal final pH and dosages for PACl were obtained based on residual turbidity and zeta potential of flocs. The coagulation zones at various PACl dosages and solution p H values were developed and compared with those of alum. It is found that the optimal mechanism under acidic condition is charge neutralization, while alkaline condition will facilitate the coagulation of PACl. Both charge neutralization coagulation and sweep coagulation can achieve high coagulation efficiency under the alkaline condition ranging from final p H 7.0 to 10.0. Stabilization, charge neutralization destabilization, restabilization and sweep zones occur successively with increasing PACl dosages with the final p H values fixed at 7.0 and 8.0, but restabilization zone disappears at final p H 10.0. When the final p H is not controlled and consequently decreases with increasing PACl dosage, no typical sweep zone can be observed and the coagulant efficiency decreases at high PACl dosage. It seems that the final pH is more meaningful than the initial p H for coagulation. Charge neutralization coagulation efficiency is dominated by zeta potential of flocs and PACl precipitates. The charge neutralization and sweep coagulation zones of PACl are broader in the ranges of coagulant dosage and p H than those of alum. The results are helpful for us to treat water and wastewater using PACl and to understand the coagulation process of PACl.展开更多

In the mixing parameters estimation, the previously proposed traditional clustering algorithms are sensitive to the initializations of the mixing parameters. To reduce the sensitiveness to the initialization, we propose a new algorithm for the UBSS problem based on anechoic speech mixtures by employing the visual information, i.e., the interaural time difference(ITD) and the interaural level difference(ILD), as the initializations of the mixing parameters. In our algorithm, the video signals are utilized to estimate the distances between microphones and sources, and then the estimations of the ITD and ILD can be obtained. With the sparsity assumption in the time-frequency domain, the Gaussian potential function algorithm is utilized to estimate the mixing parameters by using the ITDs and ILDs as the initializations of the mixing parameters. And the time-frequency masking is used to recover the sources by evaluating the various ITDs and ILDs. Experimental results demonstrate the competitive performance of the proposed algorithm compared with the baseline algorithms.展开更多

The initial set is important as it provides an estimate when concrete has reached a point that it can no longer he vibrated without damaging concrete. The point at which final set occurs is important since it provides an estimate when the development of concrete strength and stiffness starts. In this study, experimental work is performed under laboratory conditions to indentify the setting time of cement paste using ultrasonic waves. Correlation between the ultrasonic wave parameters (speed, amplitude and energy) passing through the fresh cement paste and setting time determined using the Vicat test method is analyzed. A method of acoustic emission is also used and acoustic signals recorded in cement paste during hydration are presented.展开更多

This concentration reached in the region of Collo (Wilaya of Skikda, Algeria) 570 mg/L, which is beyond the WHO standard (50 mg/L). This has negative consequences on human health (Methemoglobinemia) and on the environment (eutrophication). In our works, we studied the elimination of this pollution with the use of a mixed culture of microorganisms. We replaced the standard synthetic carbon source and the nutritious medium by date powder. This contains minerals and sugars that can enhance bacterial growth. Our study showed that the effectiveness of denitrification is proportional to bacterial growth. It rises exponentially after a latency period of 8 hours. During the reaction of degradation we noticed a rise in pH in our engine, it moved from 7.00 to 8.38. In studying the influence of initial pH on the denitrification of the microorganisms, we observed that the ion hydrogen concentration modified the growth rate of bacteria and degradation of nitrates. An acid pH, the reduction of nitrates is incomplete; this is accounted for the accumulation of nitrous and nitric oxide that interferes in the reaction of denitrification. The velocity of the nitrate reduction is less important in an acid pH (0.0096 g.L^-l.h^-1) than in a basic pH (0.013 g.L^-1.h^-1). The denitrification is optimal at temperature 35 ℃ for a ratio C/N = 2.5. In these conditions 95% of the nitrate initial quantity is eliminated after approximately 100 hour treatment.展开更多

In this paper, under more general conditions, the authors investigate the combined effect of the internal dissipative condition and the boundary dissipative condition, and prove the global existence and exponential decay of the C1 solution to the mixed initial-boundary value problem for quasilinear hyperbolic systems with small initial data. This stability result is applied to a kind of models, and an example is given to show the possible exponential instability if the corresponding conditions are not satisfied.展开更多
