The weeping characteristic of submerged multi-orifice plate

Weeping is an adverse phenomenon which results in higher pressure drop and poorer aeration performance.Visual experiments have been conducted to study the mechanism by which weeping impairs the work performance of multi-orifice plate.A theoretical model is improved to analyze the weeping phenomenon of multiorifice plate based on potential flow theory.The relations of different bubbling conditions and weeping rate are analyzed.Weeping condition and average weeping rate have relation with the driven pressure differential and dynamic variation of gas chamber pressure.In addition,a set of experiments are designed to study the influence of various factors on weeping rate.The bubble coalescence during bubble formation is a fatal factor determining weeping rate,so the relation between weeping rate and gas flow rate is concerned with the pitch of orifices and orifice diameter.There is a critical plate thickness which is in favor of weeping.

In Vitro Micropropagation of Himalayan Weeping Bamboo, Drepanostachyum falcatum

Plant growth hormone BAP (benzyl amino purine), KIN (kinetin), NAA (1-naphthalene acetic acid) and IBA (indole-3 butyric acid) effect was studied on in vitro multiplication of shoots and rooting of Drepanostachyum falcatum. In vitro micropropagation of himalayan weeping bamboo is explained by in vitro shoot induction and proliferation. Excised explant with axillary bud is surface sterilized with 0.1% HgCl2 for 10 - 12 minutes, cleaned with 90% ethanol and inoculated on liquid Murashige and Skoog (MS) culture medium supplemented with different concentrations of BAP/ KIN. Effect of BAP/KIN on shoot induction is with different rate and number of shoots produced by explants with axillary bud cultured on MS media supplemented with 0.0 mg/L BAP/KIN - 5.5 mg/L BAP/KIN. Shoot multiplication with highest rate is achieved on MS medium supplemented with 3.5 mg/L BAP after 4th sub-culturing. The most effective with highest rate and number of root induction combination is 6.5 mg/L IBA after 5 weeks. The roots produced by 6.5 mg/L IBA is best compared with other combination of auxin NAA (1-naphthalene acetic acid).

The Mai-distribution of Weeping from a Distillation Tray and Its Effect on Tray Efficiency

Experiments demonstrated that the weeping is mal-distributed and occurs mainly in a region of tray deck next to the inlet weir. The amount of weeping in this region depends on the weeping rate. On this basis, three types of weeping distribution are proposed. The effect of mal-distributed weeping on the Murphree tray efficiency is evaluated by using the three-dimensional non-equilibrium mixing pool model, where the influences of the flow pattern and the variation of Murphree point efficiency on a tray are taken into account. The calculated results reveal that the extent of Murphree tray efficiency drop depends chiefly on the degree of mal-distribution and the percentage of weeping. It is also demonstrated that in the determination of the lowest operating limit of vapor velocity, the unfavorable effect of mal-distributed weeping should be considered as an important factor and cannot be ignored.

BULKED SEGREGANT RNA SEQUENCING(BSR-SEQ)IDENTIFIES A NOVEL ALLELE ASSOCIATED WITH WEEPING TRAITS IN PRUNUS MUME

Weeping species are used both as ornamental plants and for breeding dwarf plant types.However,exploration of casual genes controlling weeping traits is rather limited.Here,we identified individuals with contrasting phenotypes from an Fx bi-parental mapping population of Prunus mume which was developed from a cross between the upright cultivar/Liuban,and the weeping cultivar'Fentai Chuizhi'.Bulked segregant RNA sequencing was used and five QTLs on chromosome 7 were identified.The Pm024074(PmilGT72B3)allele,belonging to the UDP-glycosyltransferase superfamily containing the coniferyl-alcohol glucosyltransferase domain,was identified in a genomic region overlapping with a previously identified QTL;and had a synonymous transition of T66(upright)to C(weeping)in the coding sequence and a 470-bp deletion in the promoter region.Pm024074 had exceptionally high expression in buds and stems of weeping P.mume.Weighted correlation network analysis indicates that genes neighboring Pm024074 were significantly associated with plant architecture.In addition,a reliable single nucleotide polymorphism marker was developed based on the variation in the Pm024074 gene,providing precise marker-assisted breeding for weeping traits.This study provides insights into the genetic mechanism governing the weeping trait in P.mume,and indicates potential applications for the manipulation of tree architecture.

Redeeming the Weeping Wetland

Renowned as the"Kidneys of the Earth,"wetlands are one of the three major ecosystems of the planet,along with forests and seas.With 10 percent of the world’s wetlands,China ranks number one in terms of the area of wetlands in Asia,and fourth in the world.China’s wetlands are abundant in type(containing all-natural and man-made types listed in the

Directed Valve Trays

1 INTRODUCTIONValve tray columns are one of the most important mass transfer equipment for vapor-liquidoperations and are widely used in the petroleum and chemical industries.They have good op-erating performances with floatable parts on the trays.There are various of valve trays,andType V1(F1-type)valve trays are used very common in industry.Though Type V1 valvetrays have a number of advantages,it has been found in recent years that there are also cer-tain drawbacks,for example,higher hydraulic gradient on the tray,more backmixing
