The Trypsin hydrotysate obtained by hydrolysis exhibited the highest 1,1- dipheny-l-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) radical scavenging activity (DRSA) compared with other hydrolysates. Re- sponse surface method ology (RSM), based on Box-Behnken design, was used to study the influence of hydrolysis conditions on the DRSA. The optimal hydrolysis conditions were as follows: pH 7.38, temperature 48.2~C and en- zyme/substrate (E/S)ratio 2 840 U/g. Under these conditions, the maximum DRSA was (22.85 + 0.57)%. The experimental values agreed with the value (23.09%) predicted by the model within a 95% confidence interval. By using gel filtration chromatography and reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), anti- oxidant peptide (D2-P)was isolated from flatfish skin protein hydrolysates (FSPH)and could exhibit a (54.28 ± 1.37) % scavenging activity on DPPH radical at the concentration of 5 mg/mL. This is the first report of a scientific basis for the preparation of antioxidant peptides from flatfish skin. The results suggested that the antioxidant pep- tides can be exploited into functional foods or used as a novel source of nutraceuticals.展开更多

Multiple sources of data were collected from 90 students of grade 10 at a high school in Beijing, including the pretest and posttest writings, writing self-efficacy questionnaires, interviews, and follow-up questionnaires over one semester. Data analyses showed that the experimental group excelled the control group in writing performance and became more confident in writing at the end of positive self-evaluation practices. This study also found that writing self-efficacy and writing performance were positively related. The students with high writing self-efficacy tended to perform better in their writing than those with low writing self-efficacy.展开更多

We present a two-part hierarchical control method that can guarantee platoon stability with minimal fuel consumption. The first part vehicle controller is derived in the context of receding horizon optimal control by constructing and solving an optimization problem of overall fuel consumption. The Second part platoon controller is a complementation of the first part, which is given on the basis of platoon stability analysis. The effectiveness of the presented platoon control method is demonstrated by both numerical simulations and experiments with laboratory-scale Arduino cars.展开更多
