Dynamic modeling and control of a padder roller system

This is the first time in the literature dealing with the dynamic modeling and control of a rotating padder roller system. It is intended to design a control system with effective scheme and robustness to stabilize all vibration modes of a rotating padder roller system by using one set of sensor and actuator. The controller design depends on the specific pole-zero patterns. In practice, the pole-zero patterns remain the same, no matter how the physical system parameters are different. By properly placing the actuator and sensor, a realizable controller and sensor is designed to stabilize all the vibration modes and make the closed loop system absolutely stable. This will suppress the vibration without suffering from spillover and can eliminate an infinite number of vibration modes. The performance of this controller has been successfully implemented by computer simulation.     

Excavatoids O and P, new 12-hydroxybriaranes from the octocoral Briareum excavatum

Two new 12-hydroxybriarane diterpenoids, designated as excavatoids O (1) and P (2), were isolated from the octocoral Briareum excavatum. The structures of briaranes 1 and 2 were established on the basis of extensive spectral data analysis. Excavatoid P (2) is the first metabolite which possesses a 6β -chlorine atom in briarane analogues.     

Comparison of the properties of hyaluronate products used in treatment of joint dysfunction in horses

A standardized investigation was conducted to compare the biophysical properties of hyaluronate products used in the treatment of joint dysfunction in horses. Results showed that two of the five products, Hyvisc® and Hylartin®V, contained higher-weight molecular hyaluronate (greater than 1.5×10⁶). Other investigations have shown that higher molecular weight hyaluronate is effective in providing physical resistance to shear, in stimulating endogenous hyaluronate synthesis, and in inhibiting excess cell proliferation which may be associated with synovial pannus formation. It is suggested that the therapeutic benefits of hyaluronate products may be dependent on the molecular size of the hyaluronate molecules. Higher molecular weight hyaluronate products would be expected to be more effective than lower molecular hyaluronate products in providing therapeutic benefits.     

Characteristics of Medical Waste in Taiwan

The purpose of this study was threefold: to investigate the types and amounts of medical waste from various hospitals in Taiwan; to analyze residues from incinerated medical waste for heavy metal content; and to measure the amount of infectious and general medical waste per bed per day and determine the ratio of infectious to general medical waste. Information was first obtained on the amounts of medical waste produced per bed per day and on waste handling and treatment. Next, residue samples were taken from incinerators and analyzed for heavy metal content. Third, daily records concerning waste content and weight from one hospital were kept over the period of one year. Chromium (Cr) and zinc (Zn) concentrations were significantly higher in medical waste than in general waste. Medical waste fluctuated significantly over the one-year period. Records showed that wastes containing dialysis material and wood/cotton materials were found to have the highest weight and wastes containing human organs had the lowest weight. Results of the present study underscore the need for all hospitals to effectively separate waste for proper treatment and disposal, particularly waste that produces residues which may be hazardous to the environment. In addition, hospitals also need to recycle or reuse certain materials in order to reduce waste production.

福建雨季降水时空非均匀分布特征分析

利用福建53年雨季（5～6月）66个常规气象站月降水资料、NCEP/NCAR月平均再分析格点资料及NOAA海温重建资料,使用经验正交函数分解（EOF）、奇异值分解（SVD）、相关分析等方法,分析福建雨季降水的时空分布特征,结果表明：福建雨季的降水在空间上表现一致,即全省旱或全省涝;但存在显著的空间非均匀分布的第二类分布特征,即南旱北涝或南涝北旱。通过分析南北不均匀分布异常年的同期、前期大气环流和海洋特征,发现南旱北涝年近地面层温度场分布呈显著的北冷南暖特征,西太平洋副热带高压偏西偏强,且位置偏南,副高北侧低层较强的西南风将暖湿水汽输送到较北位置,此时南海夏季风强度偏弱,赤道中东太平洋为异常冷水覆盖;前期冬季乌拉尔山阻高偏强、西太平洋副高面积偏大、强度偏强、西伸点偏西,赤道中东太平洋海温偏高而西风漂流区海温偏低。南涝北旱年则基本反之。研究结果揭示了福建省降水时空分布不均的气象基础,对农事安排与防旱抗涝工作具有指导意义。     

苹果管道气力输送装置参数优化与试验

针对苹果在管道输送过程中的撞击损伤问题,对管道气力输送装置的参数组合进行研究。以输送管道内径、管型和进风口风速为影响因素,以苹果迎风面风速为响应值,通过单因素仿真试验确定各因素对响应值的影响规律;基于单因素仿真结果利用多因素仿真试验获得最优输送参数组合,通过验证试验检验最优组合的可靠性。单因素仿真试验结果表明:当管道内径分别为88、96、104、112和120 mm时,随着输送管道内径的增大,苹果迎风面风速呈先增大后减小的趋势;管型对苹果迎风面风速大小影响的排序为,下圆弧管>螺旋管>S型管>上圆弧管>反S型管;当进风风速分别为14.07、15.83、17.59、19.35和21.11 m/s时,随着进风风速的增大,苹果迎风面风速呈先增大后减小的趋势。多因素仿真试验结果表明:最优输送参数组合为,管道内径112 mm、下圆弧型管型、进风风速19.35 m/s,此时苹果迎风面风速为18.46 m/s。验证试验结果表明,基于最优输送参数组合的管道气力输送装置输送苹果时苹果损伤率为14%,苹果损伤面积0~14.82 mm²,损伤体积0~23.84 mm³,86%的苹果为一等及以上果,14%的苹果为二等果。管道气力输送装置可有效降低苹果采摘后落入果筐时的损伤。
