COMPARISON OF POMELO (

Warangkana MAKKUMRAI, Yue HUANG, Qiang XU

Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering   Pages 335-352 doi: 10.15302/J-FASE-2021391

Abstract: Pomelo is a member of the genus that is a key contributor to the breeding of modern citrus cultivars. China is the largest producer of pomelo and one of the top five pomelo exporting countries. Pomelos from Thailand are also well-known for their excellent quality and flavor and are ranked in the top ten export countries. This review introduces pomelo planting locations and conditions in China and Thailand. The characteristics and qualities of some commercial pomelo cultivars in China and Thailand are summarized to introduce them to international consumers and to document their similarities and dissimilarities. Data on bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacity are also included for most Chinese and Thai pomelos to highlight how they differ in this aspect because consumers are increasingly interested in healthier foods. In addition, the sensory perception in terms of aroma, flavor, texture and taste attributes, consumer perspective and preferences are discussed.

Minggen YANG, Xiaokun ZHAO

Frontiers of Medicine 2009, Volume 3, Issue 2,   Pages 191-196 doi: 10.1007/s11684-009-0026-5

Abstract: This retrospective study was performed to compare the outcome of thoracoabdominal incision flank incision for radical nephrectomy in the patients with large renal tumors. A questionnaire assessing postoperative pain, administration of pain medications and the return to activities and work was sent to the patients who undergoing radical nephrectomy through the 11th rib (group 1: underwent flank incision, including 96 patients) or the 9th to 10th rib (group 2: undergoing thoracoabdominal incision, including 98 patients) from 2003 to 2007 in our hospital. A case retrospective analysis assessing operation time, perioperative hemorrhage volume, size of tumor, success in the treatment of tumor thrombus in renal vein or vena cava, time length of presence of drainage tube, postoperative analgesia usage and length of stay was conducted in patients whose questionnaires were returned. A total of 56 patients (58%) in group 1 and 60 (61%) in group 2 responded to the questionnaire. Time lengths of operation and presence of abdominal drainage tube were shorter in group 2 than those in group 1. Perioperative hemorrhage volume in group 2 was obviously less than that in group 1. The mean size of tumors in group 1 was significantly smaller than that in group 2 ( < 0.0005). The success rate of treating thrombus in renal vein or vena cava in group 2 was significantly higher than that in group 1 ( <0.05). Lengths of off-bed time and stay were the same in both groups. There were no differences between groups in terms of pain severity on postoperative day 1, on day of discharge and 1 month postoperatively ( >0.05). There were no significant differences between groups in the time following surgery when pain completely disappeared, when pain medications were discontinued, and when the patient returned to daily activities and work ( >0.05). The thoracoabdominal incision provides excellent exposure and allows for early vascular control. Efficacy and complication was comparable for thoracoabdominal and flank incisions in terms of incisional pain, analgesic requirements after discharge and return to normal activities.

A comparison of production system life cycle models

Rajesh ATTRI, Sandeep GROVER

Frontiers of Mechanical Engineering 2012, Volume 7, Issue 3,   Pages 305-311 doi: 10.1007/s11465-012-0332-5

Abstract:

Companies today need to keep up with the rapidly changing market conditions to stay competitive. The main issues in this paper are related to a company’s market and its competitors. The prediction of market behavior is helpful for a manufacturing enterprise to build efficient production systems. However, these predictions are usually not reliable. A production system is required to adapt to changing markets, but such requirement entails higher cost. Hence, analyzing different life cycle models of the production system is necessary. In this paper, different life cycle models of the production system are compared to evaluate the distinctive features and the limitations of each model. Furthermore, the difference between product life cycle and production life cycle is summarized, and the effect of product life cycle on production life cycle is explained. Finally, a production system life cycle model, along with key activities to be performed in each stage, is proposed specifically for the manufacturing sector.

Characterization and comparison of organic functional groups effects on electrolyte performance for vanadium

Frontiers of Chemical Science and Engineering 2023, Volume 17, Issue 9,   Pages 1221-1230 doi: 10.1007/s11705-023-2298-8

Abstract: The vanadium redox flow battery with a safe and capacity-controllable large-scale energy storage system offers a new method for the sustainability. In this case, acetic acid, methane sulfonic acid, sulfonic acid, amino methane sulfonic acid, and taurine are used to overcome the low electrolyte energy density and stability limitations, as well as to investigate the effects of various organic functional groups on the vanadium redox flow battery. When compared to the pristine electrolyte (0.22 Ah, 5.0 Wh·L–1, 85.0%), the results show that taurine has the advantage of maintaining vanadium ion concentrations, discharge capacity (1.43 Ah), energy density (33.9 Wh·L–1), and energy efficiency (90.5%) even after several cycles. The acetic acid electrolyte is more conducive to the low-temperature stability of the V(II) electrolyte (177 h at −25 °C) than pristine (82 h at −2 °C). The –SO3H group, specifically the coaction of the –NH2 and –SO3H groups, improves electrolyte stability. The –NH2 and –COOH additive groups improved conductivity and electrochemical activity.

Manosh Kumar BISWAS, Christoph MAYER, Xiuxin DENG

Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering 2017, Volume 4, Issue 4,   Pages 421-432 doi: 10.15302/J-FASE-2017160

Abstract: A large number of expressed sequences tags are available for spp., which provides an opportunity to understand genomic organization of the transcribed regions. Here, we report a detailed analysis of repetitive elements including tandem repeats (TRs) and transposable elements (TEs) in the transcribed region of the spp. On average, 22% of the expressed sequence tags (ESTs) contain TRs. The relative density of TR classes is highly taxon-specific. For instance, has a high relative density of mononucleotide repeats, whereas dinucleotide repeats are rare. The proportions of 2–6, 7–30 and 31–50 bp repeats were almost identical in all studied species except for and . We found that<1% of the citrus ESTs have a similarity with transposable elements. Transcriptional activity of transposable element families varied even within the same class of elements. A high proportion of transcriptional activity was observed for -like TEs compare to other TE classes. While TEs are relatively rare, TRs are abundant elements in ESTs of citrus. The high proportion of TRs that have a unit size longer than 6 bp raises the question about a possible functional or evolutionary role of these elements.

Frontiers of Environmental Science & Engineering 2017, Volume 11, Issue 6, doi: 10.1007/s11783-017-0940-8

Abstract: Eutrophication with a large number of commonly occurs worldwide, thereby threatening the aquatic ecosystem and human health. In this study, four kinds of algicides were tested to explore their influence on cell density and chlorophyll-a of . Results showed that aluminum silicate agent, which inhibited more than 90% cell growth compared with the control group, demonstrated the strongest inhibition effect immediately on growth. Furthermore, the production and release of microcystin (MC)-LR were investigated. Aluminum silicate, CuSO , and Emma-11 were more effective than pyrogallic acid in disrupting the cells of , thereby increasing the extracellular MC-LR concentration. Aluminum silicate caused the highest extracellular MC-LR concentration of more than 45 mg·L . Biotoxicity was also detected to evaluate the environmental risks of MC-LR release, which were related to the usages of different algicides. Extracellular MC-LR concentration mostly increased when the biotoxicity of algae solution increased. The experiments were also designed to reveal the effects of physical conditions in riverways, such as natural sunlight, aeration and benthal sludge, on MC-LR degradation. These findings indicated that UV rays in sunlight, which can achieve a MC-LR removal efficiency of more than 15%, played an important role in MC-LR degradation. Among all the physical pathways of MC-LR removal, benthal sludge adsorption presented the optimal efficiency at 20%.

Performance comparison of cocurrent and countercurrent flow solid oxide fuel cells

Huisheng ZHANG, Shilie WENG, Ming SU

Frontiers in Energy 2011, Volume 5, Issue 2,   Pages 207-213 doi: 10.1007/s11708-011-0151-0

Abstract: Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is a complicated system with heat and mass transfer as well as electrochemical reactions. The flowing configuration of fuel and oxidants in the fuel cell will greatly affect the performance of the fuel cell stack. Based on the developed mathematical model of direct internal reforming SOFC, this paper established a distributed parameters simulation model for cocurrent and countercurrent types of SOFC based on the volume-resistance characteristic modeling method. The steady-state distribution characteristics and dynamic performances were compared and were analyzed for cocurrent and countercurrent types of SOFCs. The results indicate that the cocurrent configuration of SOFC is more suitable with regard to performance and safety.

Frontiers of Chemical Science and Engineering 2020, Volume 14, Issue 3,   Pages 436-452 doi: 10.1007/s11705-019-1870-8

Abstract: This paper compares the techno-economic performances of three technologies for CO capture from a lignite-based IGCC power plant located in the Czech Republic: (1) Physical absorption with a Rectisol-based process; (2) Polymeric CO -selective membrane-based capture; (3) Low-temperature capture. The evaluations show that the IGCC plant with CO capture leads to costs of electricity between 91 and 120 €·MWh , depending on the capture technology employed, compared to 65 €·MWh for the power plant without capture. This results in CO avoidance costs ranging from 42 to 84 €· , mainly linked to the losses in net power output. From both energy and cost points of view, the low-temperature and Rectisol based CO capture processes are the most efficient capture technologies. Furthermore, partial CO capture appears as a good mean to ensure early implementation due to the limited increase in CO avoidance cost when considering partial capture. To go beyond the two specific CO -selective membranes considered, a cost/membrane property map for CO -selective membranes was developed. This map emphasise the need to develop high performance membrane to compete with solvent technology. Finally, the cost of the whole CCS chain was estimated at 54 €· once pipeline transport and storage are taken into consideration.

Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering 2017, Volume 4, Issue 2,   Pages 220-227 doi: 10.15302/J-FASE-2017146

Abstract: In semi-arid regions of the Loess Plateau, water deficiency restricts plant performance. (switchgrass), which is a highly versatile grass, had been introduced to the Plateau as a restoration species. To determine if prechilling stratification (PCS) and sulfuric acid scarification (SAS) can optimize establishment, cvs Pathfinder, Trailblazer and Alamo were tested under different ambient water potentials by measuring germination and root and shoot growth along water potential gradients under laboratory conditions. Both PCS and SAS improved total germination percentage (TGP), with PCS being more beneficial. The effect of PCS and SAS on mean germination time (MGT) weakened gradually with increasing drought stress. Both PCS and SAS showed no obvious effect on promoting root and shoot growth. Both PCS and SAS reduced base water potential requirement for reaching 50% germination of Pathfinder and Trailblazer, with this effect greater for PCS. These results indicate that embryo dormancy may be a major factor limiting germination of under drought conditions. Pathfinder appears to be more suitable for a semi-arid environment, whereas Alamo appears to be unsuitable for drought conditions. Given the large difference between predicted value and measured value, the reliability and applicable scope of linear regression estimated Y needs further investigation, specification and optimization.

Strategic Study of CAE 2014, Volume 16, Issue 3,   Pages 21-26

Abstract:

Both China and Brazil belong to BRICS countries. Their national fundamental situations are very similar. The offshore oil and gas development perspectives are all very broad.Chinese offshore resources are one third of total resources and one quarter of total production.More than90% Brazilian oil production is offshore and potential resources in deep water are very huge. The starting points of offshore oil and gas industry of two countries are similar，but the developing speeds are sharply different. China has grasped the shallow water offshore technologies，achieved important progress in deep water field. Brazil implemented continual research plans，the deep/ultra-deep water technologies are internationally advanced，the 2000m water depth technology has been grasped comprehensively and marching onto3000m period.China released two mid- long development plans，but there are no specific measurements yet. Brazil has related laws guaranteeing research and development investment，and adheres“local content”（LC）policy all the way and the supporting measurements are strong. Basing on analyzing and comparing offshore oil and gas development of the two countries，three specific suggestions are delivered.
