Fracture suppression at steel/concrete connection zones by ECC

In order to avoid brittle fracture failure, a ductile engineered cementitious composite （ECC） was attempted in steel/concrete connection zones to replace normal concrete. The influence of the ECC material ductility on connection failure modes and structural performance was investigated via the pushout test of stud/ECC connection, the pullout test of two-dimensional anchor bolt/ECC connection and the finite element modeling （FEM）. The experimental results suggest that the micromechanically designed ECC with a tensile ductility 300 times that of normal concrete switches the brittle fracture failure mode to a ductile one in steel connection zones. This modification in material behavior leads to higher load carrying capacity and structural ductility, which is also confirmed in FEM investigation. The enhancement in structural response through material ductility engineering is expected to be applicable to a wide range of engineering structures where steel and concrete come into contact.

Phase Equilibrium Calculations in Mixtures Containing Caprolactam with a UNIFAC Model

An extended liquid-liquid equilibrium(LLE) UNIFAC model is proposed to describe phase equilibria of mixtures containing caprolactam.In this model,caprolactam is introduced as a new group.New group interaction parameters are calibrated from 156 sets of liquid-liquid equilibrium data.The present model gives satisfactory correlation and prediction in liquid-liquid equilibrium,including quaternary systems containing the mixed solvent of an alcohol and an alkane.The model can be applied to predict caprolactam solubility in water and benzene accurately.Freezing point and vapor-liquid equilibrium of binary systems containing caprolactam are also predicted with the extended LLE UNIFAC model.Satisfactory prediction results are obtained.

Mechanism of wet shotcrete interacting with rock in support systems

In order to have a good understanding of the behavior of wet shotcrete as a support element interacting with the rock mass,mechanism of wet shotcrete interacting with rock in support systems was analyzed through theoretical,numerical study and analytical analysis.A new model of distribution of rock stress state after wet shotcrete was applied,which includes shotcrete layer,composite layer,strengthening layer,plastic layer and elastic layer,and a full illustration of the rock mass stress state was given after shotcrete interacting with rock mass.At the same time,numerical analysis with FLAC gives a stress distribution along the monitor line,respectively,at the sidewall and roof of the tunnel.The displacement obviously decreases with the depth of rock,the tangential stress for tunnel supported by shotcrete is lower than that without shotcrete,and radial stress for tunnel supported by shotcrete is higher than that without shotcrete.It has been demonstrated by AIRY'S stress function,which gives a reasonable solution.Finally,the application of wet shotcrete in Jinfeng Gold Mine shows that the displacement of tunnel decreases obviously in sidewall and roof.

Copper and silver interactions at various exposure levels in a marine copepod, Acartia erythraea

Marine copepods, Acartia erythraea, were exposed separately to aqueous Cu and Ag media and to a Cu＋Ag mixture in a series of experiments during which the metal body burden and partitioning in the exoskeleton and polar and nonpolar parts of the animal cells were measured and the uptake and effiux rate constants for Cu and Ag were calculated. The metal uptake and effiux rate constants were 1.04×10^3±1.00×10^2 L·g^-1·d^-1 and 9.28× 102＋ 1.43×10-2 d^-1 for Cu and 1.60× 104＋1.78×10^3L·g^-1·d^-1and 9.23×10^2 -4- 9.1 1×10^3d^-1 for Ag, respectively. For both Cu and Ag, the uptake rate constants when the copepods were exposed to solutions of a single metal were generally higher than that when the copepods were exposed to metal mixtures. The results suggest an antagonistic interaction between waterborne Cu and Ag exists in marine copepods. The different distributions of Cu and Ag among the exoskeleton and polar and nonpolar parts of the copepods revealed that the metal bioavailability in copepods exposed to metal mixtures enhanced in some degree compared to copepods exposed to single metal solutions.

Experimental study on co-pyrolysis characteristics of typical medical waste compositions

Thermal decomposition of 21 kinds of binary mixtures between typical medical compositions was investigated under nitrogen conditions by dynamic thermogravimetric analysis(TGA) at 25–800 °C. The weighed sum method(WSM) coupled with thermal analysis was applied to study the interaction between components. Then, co-pyrolysis kinetic model of the binary mixtures(tube for transfusion(TFT) and gauze) was established to verify the reliability of conclusions. The results show the follows. 1) Strong or weak interactions are shown between binary mixtures containing polyvinyl chloride(PVC), the main ingredient of TFT. The addition of other medical waste could enhance first stage decomposition of TFT. While, the secondary stage pyrolysis may be suppressed or enhanced or not affected by the addition. 2) There exists no interaction between catheter and other component, the DTG peak temperature representing Ca CO3 decomposition in catheter fraction is obviously lower than that of pure catheter; while,the shape of DTG peak keeps unchanged. 3) No evident reaction occurs between the other mix-samples, it is considered that their co-pyrolysis characteristics are linear superposition of mono-component pyrolysis characteristics.

Interaction in Binary Mixtures of Gemini Surfactant G12-6-12 and CTAB by NMR

The interaction between N, N′-bis（dimethyldodecyl）-1,6-hexanediammoniumdibromide （G12-6-12） and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide （CTAB） in D20 aqueous medium has been investigated by NMR at 298 K. The G12-6-12 and CTAB are about 0.773 and measured critical micelle concentration （cmc） of 0.668 mmol/L, respectively. The cmc^＊ （cmc of mixture） values are less than CMC^＊ （cmc of ideally mixed solution） in the mixed system, and the interaction parameter βM〈0 at different molar fractions α of G12-6-12 in the mixed systems, but just when α≤0.3, cmc^＊ values are much smaller than CMC^＊, and βM satisfies the relation of ｜βM｜〉｜ln（cmc1/cmc2）｜ （cmcl： cmc of pure G12-6-12 and cmc2： cmc Of pure CTAB）. The results indicate that there exists synergism between G12-6-12 and CTAB, and they can form mixed micelles, which is further proven by 2D NOESY and self-diffusion coefficient D experiments. There are intermolecular cross peaks between G12-6-12 and CTAB in 2D NOESY, and the radius of micelles in mixed solution is bigger than that in G12-6-12 pure solution in D experiments, indicating there are mixed micelles. However, when α〉0.3, we find that cmc^＊≈CMC^＊, βM≈0, obviously, the two surfactants are almost ideal mixing fitting the pseudo-phase separation model and regular solution theory.

Isozyme expression of Chinese and Japanese populations of Chlamys farreri and their reciprocal hybrids

Chinese and Japanese population of Chlamys farreri and their reciprocal hybrids were surveyed in isozyme variability at 13 loci by polyacrytamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). Isozyme banding patterns indicated these hybrids were diploid. Loci that were observed as being monomorphic in inbred populations of C. farreri were also found to be monomorphic in filial progeny; loci that observed to be polymorphic in parental type gen- erations were also polymorphic in hybrid generations. Differences existed among allelic frequency of the four types of cross. Within the reciprocal hybrids the expression of malic enzyme (ME) isozyme was sufficient to distinguishing individual hybrids because of the band, Rf=0.38. However, there were no noticeable variations among all the samples to differentiate one from another. Inbreeding was likely to be the main problem in aqua- culture. The introduction of new broodstock can improve the genetic diversity. Hybrid vigor has manifested to a certain extent in the present study.

Theoretical and Experimental Studies on Interactions of Cationic-Anionic Surfactants

Typical cationic and anionic surfactants were chosen and their interactions were calculated by quantum chemical method. Interaction energies are -0.2378 kJ·mol-1, -3.3394kJ·mol-1 and 0.1204kJ·mol-1 for the molecular pairs with fluocarbon and hydrocarbon chain: C4H10/C5H12, C4F10/C5H12, and C4F10 /C5F12, respectively. When hydrophilic group with cationic and anionicions is introduced, interaction energies are -287.40kJ·mol-1, -311.18kJ·mol-1 and -345.83kJ·mol-1. The results show that there is strong static interaction between cationic and anionic surfactants. It has been predicted that mixed monolayer may be formed and surface activity is enhanced favorably, especially for mixtures of cationic and anionic surfactants with fluocarbon and hydrocarbon chains. The anionic surfactants, sodium octadecylbenzenesulfonate perfluopolyetherbenzenesulonate(ANF-I) was synthesized, mixture effects of ANF-I with sodium octadecylbenzenesulfonate or dodecyldimethyl benzylammonium bromide were studied. The results indicate that the efficiency of mixing increased and the theoretical prediction was testified. These results can provide useful information for the design of new surfactants.

A hybrid method for extraction of protein-protein interactions from literature

In this work, a hybrid method is proposed to eliminate the limitations of traditional protein-protein interactions （PPIs） extraction methods, such as pattern learning and machine learning. Each sentence from the biomedical literature containing a protein pair describes a PPI which is predicted by first learning syntax patterns typical of PPIs from training corpus and then using their presence as features, along with bag-of-word features in a maximum entropy model. Tested on the BioCreAtIve corpus, the PPIs extraction method, which achieved a precision rate of 64%, recall rate of 60%, improved the performance in terms of F1 value by 11% compared with the component pure pattern- based and bag-of-word methods. The results on this test set were also compared with other three extraction methods and found to improve the performance remarkably.

A Hybrid Particle-Grid Scheme for Computing Hydroelastic Behaviors Caused by Slamming

Capable and accurate predictions of some effects of strongly nonlinear interaction wave-ship associated with hydroelastic behaviors are very required for simulation tool in naval architect and ocean engineering. It can guarantee ship safety at the sea state by producing proper design. Therefore, we have developed a hybrid scheme based on both grid and particle method. In order to clarify hydroelastic behaviors of a ship, a dropping test of a ship with elastic motion has been performed firstly. The developed scheme has been then validated on ship dropping case under the same conditions with experiment. The comparisons showed consistently in good agreement. Furthermore, evaluation on hydroelastic behaviors of ship motion under slamming, the impact pressure tends to increase in increasing Froude number. （Fn） The bending moment and torque defined at the centre gravity due to hogging and sagging events can be predicted well, and their effects on the ship increase in increasing wave length even though the impact pressure decreases in increasing wave length after wave length λ/L, where L is ship length, is equal to 1.0. Moreover, hydroelastie behaviors affect the large heave and pitch amplitudes. Finally, the developed scheme can predict simultaneously hydrodynamic and hydroelastic with a strongly nonlinear interaction between wave and ship.

Knotted Solitons in an Interacting Mixture of a Charged and a Neutral Superfluid for Neutron Stars

By making use of the decomposition of U（1） gauge potential theory and the C-mapping method we discuss a mixture of interacting neutral and charged Bose condensates, which is supposed being realized in the interior of neutron stars in the form of a coexistent neutron superfluid and protonic superconductor. We propose that this system possesses vortex lines and two classes of knotted solitons. The topological charge of the vortex lines are characterized by the Hopf indices and the Brower degrees of φ-mapping, and the knotted solitons are described by nontrivial Hopf invariant and the BF action respectively.

Study on the Interaction Between Tangerine Peel and Beer by Absorption Spectrum

This paper presents a new method to study the interaction between tangerine peel and beer by absorption spectrum.The author explores the change laws and the differences of the absorbance on some wave band from the absorption spectrums of tangerine peel and the mixture of tangerine peel and beer. The results show that there is an obvious difference around 323 nm though the absorbance values of the two samples are almost similar in the most bands. The absorbance value of the mixture is obviously greater than that of tangerine peel at 276 nm in the spectrums, and there is a shift of the peak position in the absorption spectrum of the mixture, which shows the differences of the absorbance values and the peak positions of the two samples. Through comparing the characteristics of the two samples' absorption spectrums, a new method for researching new pharmacological action of tangerine peel is presented in this paper. The result indicates that the technology of spectrum analysis will play an important role in the research and development of Chinese herbal pharmacology and new pharmacology.

The interaction of cationic gemini surfactants(alkanediyl-α,ω-bis(alkyl dimethylammonium bromide)) with an antipsychotic drug(chlorpromazine hydrochloride(CPZ)) has been investigated. Various micellar and interfacial parameters have been deliberated by surface tension measurement to report the nature of interactions between drug and novel surfactant mixtures. The behavior of mixed systems, their compositions and activities of components have been analyzed in the light of Rubingh's theory. The results indicate synergism in the binary mixtures.The binding study between CPZ and surfactants has been done by spectroscopic techniques such as UV–visible and fluorescence. The results are discussed in the light of the use of gemini surfactants as promising drug delivery agents for phenothiazine drugs, and hence, improve their bioavailability.

Ultrasonic study on molecular interactions in binary mixtures of formamide with 1-propanol or 2-propanol

Ultrasonic speeds have been measured at 298.15 K and 308.15 K for mixtures of formamide ＋ 1 -propanol or 2-propanol. For an equimolar mixture, excess molar compressibility follows the sequence of l-propanol 〉 2-propanol. The ultrasonic speed data are correlated by various correlations such as Nomoto＇s relation, van Dael＇s mixing relation and impedance dependence relation, and analyzed in terms of Jacobson＇s free length theory and Schaaffs collision factor theory. Excess isentropic compressibility is calculated from ex- perimental ultrasonic speed data and previously reported excess volume data. The excess molar ultrasonic speed and isentropic compressibility values are fitted to Redlich-Kister polynomial equation. Other proper- ties such as molecular association, available volume, free volume, and intermolecular free length are also calculated. The excess isentropic compressibility data are also interpreted in terms of graph theoretical ap- proach. The calculated isentropic compressibility values are well consistent with the experimental data. It is found that the interaction between formamide and propanol increases when hydroxyl group attached to a carbon atom has more -CH3 groups.

Interaction between Engineering Structures and Environment, Illustrated on the Examples of Bridges in Montenegro

The basic goal of this paper is to point out the importance of design shaping as well as the key parameter of the great interaction between the structure and natural environment. However, experiences confirm the fact that the most successful structures, the bridges also, have not got that attribute because of their grandiosity but per their great integration in the nature that is environment. Beside the basic function, that is the usage to man, their integrations in the environment greately enrich the ambience. The old stone bridges are mostly well integrated in the natural environment. In the period of large building, it did not take care of the parameters （the bridges of steel, concrete and prestressed concrete）, but great attention was paid to records referring to spans and complicated forms. The author thinks it is necessary to take care about integration of all building structures in the environment, especially bridges. As a good example of successful creation, simplicity of form, and especially good integration in the natural surroundings are three bridges from Montenegro, one of them is old stone bridge, others are reinforced-concrete and steel bridges.

Comparison of luminescent properties of helicene-like bibenzothiophenes with o-carborane and 5,6-dicarba-nidodecaborane

This article describes comparison of the anchoring effect on electronic properties of the helicene-like bibenzothiophene between o-carborane and 5,6-dicarba-nido-decaborane. The o-carborane and nido-decaborane-fused bibenzothiophenes were simultaneously obtained in the same reaction and successfully isolated. Initially, the X-ray single crystal analysis revealed that the helicene-like distorted structure was realized in the nido-decaborane-fused bibenzothiophene. From optical measurements in the solution state, distinct different characteristics depending on the type of anchors were observed. It was summarized that the absorption and luminescent properties originated from weak π-conjugation at the bibenzothiophene moiety in the o-carboranefused compound were obtained, whereas robust π-conjugation and significant emission from the intramolecular charge transfer state were detected from the nido-decaborane-fused compound. These data can be explained by the theoretical results that π-conjugation was restrictedly developed within the bibenzothiophene moiety in frontier orbitals of the o-carborane-fused compound. In contrast, π-conjugation can be constructed even through the distorted bibenzothiophene because of the nido-decaborane unit. Moreover, the intramolecular charge transfer state should be realized because of electronic interaction involving the nido-decaborane unit in the excited state. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the nido-decaborane-fused compound possessed solid-state emission and mechanochromic luminescent properties. The π-conjugation on the distorted structure supported by the nido-decaborane anchor should play a significant role in suppressing aggregation-caused quenching followed by presenting solid-state emission with stimuli responsiveness.

HISP： a hybrid intelligent approach for identifying Jirected signaling pathways

Signal transduction plays important roles in biological systems. Unfortunately, our knowledge about signaling pathways is far from complete. Specifically, the direction of signaling flows is less known even though the signaling molecules of some signaling pathways have been determined. In this paper, we propose a novel hybrid intelligent method, namely HISP （Hybrid Intelligent approach for identifying directed Signaling Pathways）, to determine both the topologies of signaling pathways and the direction of signaling flows within a pathway based on integer linear programming and genetic algorithm. By integrating the protein-protein interaction, gene expression, and gene knockout data, our HISP approach is able to determine the optimal topologies of signaling pathways in an accurate way. Benchmark results on yeast MAPK signaling pathways demonstrate the efficiency of our proposed approach. When applied to the EGFR/ErbB signaling pathway in human hepatocytes, HISP unveils a high-resolution signaling path- way, where many signaling interactions were missing by existing computational approaches.

Influences of Crystal-Field and Interlayer Coupling Interactions on Dynamic Phase Diagrams of a Mixed-Spin(3/2,2)Bilayer System

Influences of crystal-fields （DA and DB ） and interlayer coupling interactions （J3） on dynamic magnetic critical behaviors of a mixed-spin （3//2, 2） bilayer system under an oscillating magnetic field are investigated by the Glauber-type stochastic dynamics based on the mean-field theory. For this purpose, dynamic phase diagrams are constructed in the reduced temperature and magnetic field amplitude plane for the ferromagnetic/ferromagnetic （FM/FM）, antiferromagnetic/ferromagnetic （AFM/FM） and AFM/AFM interactions in detail. We observe that the influences of DA, DB and Ja interactions parameters on the behavior of the dynamic phase diagrams are very much.
