    The Assessment of Straightness and Flatness Errors Using Particle Swarm Optimization

    No full text
    The straightness and flatness errors are generally assessed by using the Least Squares Method (LSM). However, the results obtained from LSM often overestimate the tolerances, and are not consistent with the ISO standards’ definitions. To this end, this paper presents a method to evaluate those errors by using particle swarm optimization (PSO). The realization technique is detailed. The experimental data is utilized to verify this algorithm, together with a comparison with some typical optimization algorithms

    On checking the compatibility of web services' policies

    No full text
    This paper discusses the compatibility issue between policies of Web services, which could refrain the auto- matic composition of these Web services from smoothly progressing. Policies regulate/constrain the functioning of Web services at three levels identified by business, be- havior, and privacy. Because independent Web services collaborate with one another in order to satisfy users' needs, their respective policies could be in contradiction. This could lead to conflicts and exceptions at run-time un- less these contradictions are as a first step, detected and then, fixed. In this paper, WSPL is the language to specify policies of Web services.Zakaria Maamar, Quan Z. Sheng, Hamdi Yahyaoui, Djamal Benslimane and Fenglin Li

    Reconstruction of October Mean Temperature since 1796 in Wuying Based on Tree Ring Data

    No full text
    The monthly mean temperature for October in the Fenglin National Natural Reserve of Wuying, in Heilongjiang province, was reconstructed for the period running from 1796 to 2004 using RES tree ring chronology. The explained variance of the reconstruction is 34.8%. In the past 209 years, there are 4 colder and 4 warmer periods according to the reconstructed series. A period of 3.33-year is found significant based on the power spectrum method. Abrupt changes are also detected in the reconstructed series with 30-year time scale based on the smoothing t -test, smoothing F -test and Le Page test methods. Significant abrupt changes in mean value are observed for around 1871 and 1900, and a significant abrupt change in standard deviation is observed for around 1851. Yin, H., H. Liu, L.

    Quantitative characterization of micropore structure for organic-rich Lower Silurian shale in the Upper Yangtze Platform, South China: Implications for shale gas adsorption capacity

     The pores in shales are mainly of nanometer-scale, and their pore size distribution is very important for shale gas storage and adsorption capacity, especially micropores having widths less than 2 nm, which contribute to the main occurrence space for gas adsorption. This study is focused on the organic-rich Lower Silurian black shale from four wells in the Upper Yangtze Platform, and their total organic carbon (TOC), mineralogical composition and micropore characterization were investigated. Low pressure CO2 adsorption measurement was conducted at 273.15 K in the relative pressure range of 0.0001-0.03, and the micropore structure was characterized by Dubinin-Radushkevich equation and density functional theory method and then the relationship between micropore structure and shale gas adsorption capacity was discussed. The results indicated that (1) The Lower Silurian shale have high TOC content in the range of 0.92%-4.96%, high quartz content in the range of 30.6%-69.5%, and high clays content in the range of 24.1%-51.2%. The TOC content shows a strong positive relationship with the quartz content which suggests that the quartz is mainly biogenic in origin. (2) The micropore volume varies from 0.12 to 0.44 cm3 /100g and micropore surface area varies from 4.97 to 17.94 m2 /g. Both of them increase with increasing TOC content, indicating TOC is the key factor to control the micropore structure of the Lower Silurian shale. (3) Low pressure CO2 adsorption measurement provides the most suitable detection range (0.3-1.5 nm) and has high reliability and accuracy for micropore structure characterization. (4) The TOC content is the key factor to control gas adsorption capacity of the Lower Silurian shale in the Upper Yangtze Platform.Cited as: Chen, L., Jiang, Z., Liu, K., et al.

    Role of c-di-GMP in anammox aggregation and systematic analysis of its turnover protein in Candidatus Jettenia caeni

    The anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) process has been recognized as a promising sewage treatment approach. Considering the susceptibility, it is meaningful to study the behaviors of anammox bacteria under the unfavorable conditions. Here, we found that anammox bacteria more probably tended to aggregation by the regulation of c-di-GMP against the unfavorable environmental stresses (low temperature, aerobic condition and low pH). Further using multiple protein sequence alignment, we systematically examined the functionality of thirteen genes encoding putative c-di-GMP metabolic enzymes in anammox organism Candidatus Jettenia caeni, revealing most of the predicted enzymes were predicted to be active. Particularly, ectopic expression of jcaA, a gene encoding a protein with both GGDEF domain and EAL domain, suggested that it encoded a functional enzyme capable of both synthesizing and degrading c-di-GMP, which was clearly confirmed by in vitro enzymatic assays and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Furthermore, the catalytic mechanism was simulated by the means of three-dimensional homology modeling and molecular docking. The identification of cdi-GMP turnover and its role in granulation for anammox organism provides a new perspective for regulation of its aggregation capability and further promotion of anammox performance in the application of wastewater treatment process.
