Ionic liquids have been used as plasticizer and also possess antimicrobial activity. In this study, ionic liquid in form of 1-Decyl-3-methy-limidazolium chloride was incorporated into tissue conditioner (GC Soft-liner TM) to improve antifungal activity. Physical and mechanical properties were evaluated. Compliance was carried out using penetration test according to ISO 10139-1. Weight change, water absorption and solubility were determined by weight measurement. Conventional and nystatin-incorporated tissue conditioner served as controls. Results showed that ionic liquid-incorporated tissue conditioner significantly decreased fungal formation, both in material suspension and on material surface. The penetration depth of all groups tended to reduce over time with no significant difference at each time point. After water immersion, ionic liquid- and nystatin-incorporated tissue conditioner gained weight while conventional group showed weight loss. The percentage of water absorption of conventional group was significantly lower than ionic liquid and nystatin group, while the percentage of water solubility of nystatin group was significantly higher than others. Our work indicated that antifungal ionic liquid-incorporated tissue conditioner met the standard criteria in terms of material compliance. However, further studies including dynamic viscoelastic property are needed before clinical trial or application.展开更多

Based on the method of cluster analysis (CA) for water quality indices, it revealed that heavily polluted sites of Liao River are located at estuary and mainstream. The aquatic species surveyed were attached algae and benthic invertebrates. The result showed that the diversity and biomass of attached algae and benthic index of biotic integrity (B-IBI) were degrading as the chemical and physical quality of water bodies deteriorating. Physiochemical parameters, BODs, CODcr, TN, TP, NH3-N, DO, petroleum hydrocarbon and conductivity, were statistically analyzed with principal component analysis and correlation analysis. The statistical results were incorporated into the integrated assessing water quality index, combining fecal coliform count, attached algae diversity, B-IBI and physical habitat quality score. A comprehensive integrated assessing system of fiver ecological health was established. Based on the systimetic assessment, the assessed sites are categorized into 9 "healthy" and "sub-healthy" sites and 8 "sub-sick" and "sick" sites.展开更多

To address this problem, the capture of CNOP, when the "on-off" switches are included in models, is treated as non-smooth optimization in this study, and the genetic algorithm (GA) is introduced. After detailed algorithm procedures are formulated using an idealized model with parameterization "on-off" switches in the forcing term, the impacts of "on-off" switches on the capture of CNOP are analyzed, and three numerical experiments are conducted to check the effectiveness of GA in capturing CNOP and to analyze the impacts of different initial populations on the optimization result. The result shows that GA is competent for the capture of CNOP in the context of the idealized model with parameterization ‘on-off’ switches in this study. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of GA in capturing CNOP are analyzed in detail.展开更多
