挥发性有机气体热氧化节能经济参数分析

挥发性气体(VOC)热氧化处理为高耗能过程,需利用热回收或热再生作为节能手段.作者以热回收因子(heat recovery factor,HRF)、设备价格因子(equipment cost factor,ECF)两个独立参数,分别分析了能源效率及投资回收,讨论了挥发性气体(VOC)热氧化处理设计的重要影响因子.利用能源回收成本比(equipment cost against heat recovery),以一工业实例,分析了不同设计情境下系统的比较优势.复热型和再生型热氧化系统也在文中作了比较,复热型有较低的ECF,而再热型则有较高之HRF;然而,当以能源回收成本作比较时,热再生型在使用周期较长时,具有经济方面的优势.所呈现的分析模型亦可用于类似的环保系统.     

Differences in cardiac myosin light chain LC1 among human, monkey and sheep

The atrial and ventricular myosin light chains of human, monkey and sheep hearts were compared by dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The atrial light chain 2 and ventricular light chain 2 are similar among these mammals. However, the atrial light chain 1 of monkey has different electrophoretic mobility from those of human and sheep. The monkey ventricular light chain 1 has same mobility as that of sheep but different from that of human.     

The effect of two forms of light on the development of the neonatal rat retina

Summary The effects of red and far red light on the development of the retinas were studied in the neonatal rat models. Red light appeared to be stimulatory and far red light appeared to be inhibitory.     

Possible tropical lakes on Titan from observations of dark terrain

Titan has clouds, rain and lakes--like Earth--but composed of methane rather than water. Unlike Earth, most of the condensable methane (the equivalent of 5?m depth globally averaged) lies in the atmosphere. Liquid detected on the surface (about 2?m deep) has been found by radar images only poleward of 50° latitude, while dune fields pervade the tropics. General circulation models explain this dichotomy, predicting that methane efficiently migrates to the poles from these lower latitudes. Here we report an analysis of near-infrared spectral images of the region between 20°?N and 20°?S latitude. The data reveal that the lowest fluxes in seven wavelength bands that probe Titan's surface occur in an oval region of about 60?×?40?km(2), which has been observed repeatedly since 2004. Radiative transfer analyses demonstrate that the resulting spectrum is consistent with a black surface, indicative of liquid methane on the surface. Enduring low-latitude lakes are best explained as supplied by subterranean sources (within the last 10,000 years), which may be responsible for Titan's methane, the continual photochemical depletion of which furnishes Titan's organic chemistry.

Biosynthesis of ascorbic acid in chick embryos

Biosynthesis of ascorbic acid was found in the kidneys (mesonephros and metanephros) of the chick embryo as well as in the yolk sac membrane. The activity of L-gulonolactone oxidase in the yolk sac membrane suggested that it was the major source of ascorbic acid in the chick embryo.
