The results showed that the serum agglutinin had no agglutination to crucian carp, Chinese soft shell turtle, grass carp, chicken or human group A, B or O blood cells, but had strong agglutination to blood cells of mice and rabbits. The activities of serum agglutinin from Portunus trituberculatus to mice blood cells reached 210, and to rabbit blood cells reached 28. Salinity had a greater effect on agglutinin activity. When the Na Cl concentration exceeded 0.6 mol/L,the serum agglutinin from Portunus trituberculatus was basically inactivated. The optimum p H for agglutinin activity was 6.0-7.4. The serum agglutinin from Portunus trituberculatus had obvious dependence to Ca2 +and Mg2 +, and EDTA could significantly inhibit its activity. The results of sugar inhibition test showed that the activity of agglutinin from Portunus trituberculatus can be specifically inhibited by N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmannosamine. The serum agglutinin from Portunus trituberculatus was isolated by ammonium sulfate gradient precipitation, and its activity was highest by the 25% ammonium sulfate precipitation system. The SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(SDS-PAGE) showed that the protein bands were mainly distributed within 72-95 ku.展开更多

The IHICSSWHS (indirect heating integrated collector storage solar water heater system) is one of the most economical systems. It incorporates the collection of a solar energy component and a hot water storage component in one unit. The objective of this study was to investigate ways to enhance the thermal performance of the system. Two configurations of the system were studied: system with double row HX (heat exchanger) and tube length of 16.2 m, and system with single row HX and tube length of 8.1 m and 10.8 m. The service water tube inside diameter was also varied to 10.7 mm and 17.1 mm The steady state continuity, momentum and energy equations were numerically solved, using FLUENT software. A standard k-w turbulent model and surface-to-surface radiation model were used. The result showed that the system of 10.8 m tube length and single row HX provided higher outlet temperature than the system of 16.2 m and double row HX. Therefore, a significant reduction in cost and power usage can be achieved by using a single row HX.展开更多

In order to check the ventilation characteristic parameters of mines more accurately, the integrated method of circuit and path is adopted to overcome the drawbacks caused by the traditional path method or circuit method in the digital debugging process of ventilation system, which can improve the large local error or the inconsistency between the airflow direction and the actual situation caused by inaccuracy of the ventilation characteristic parameters or checking in the ventilation network solution. The results show that this method can effectively reduce the local error and prevent the pseudo-airflow reversal phenomenon; in addition, the solution results are consistent with the actual situation of mines, and the effect is obvious.展开更多

A double dominating set of a graph G is a set D of vertices of G, such that every vertex of G is dominated by at least two vertices of D. The double domination number of a graph G is the minimum cardinality of a double dominating set of G. For a graph G = (V, E), a subset D C V(G) is a 2-dominating set if every vertex of V(G) / D has at least two neighbors in D, while it is a 2-outer-independent dominating set of G if additionally the set V(G)/D is independent. The 2-outer-independent domination number of G is the minimum cardinality of a 2-outer-independent dominating set of G. This paper characterizes all trees with the double domination number equal to the 2-outer-independent domination number plus one.展开更多
