Abstract:In order to facilitate the recovery of power, when the grid voltage drops in a certain range, the wind generator not only needs to protect the rotor side converter, but also should provide reactive power to the grid. This paper takes DFIG for an example. In order to protect the rotor side converter, it analyzes DFIG's electromagnetic transition process aroused by different voltage phase angle while the grid voltage drops. A control strategy to eliminate harmonic components during transition process is proposed. Simulation results show that the control strategy can not only achieve the purpose of protecting the rotor side converter, while eliminating the harmonic currents of stator side and rotor side when voltage drops, but also provide reactive power to the power grid.

Abstract:Tasks scheduling is a key problem in multi-agent system, traditional tasks scheduling methods can't be applied to new application areas of the MAS such as emergency system. In order to apply the Agent method to these new areas, a multi-agent system model is built in this paper, and corresponding task schedulable problem and maximum scheduling problem are defined based on this multi-agent system model. Task schedulable problem is modeled using flow network, and it is proved that maximum flow algorithm can be used to solve such problem, which means the problem can be solved in polynomial time. Furthermore, by analyzing the flow network model, a necessary and sufficient condition which can be used to determine whether tasks can be scheduled is gained and proved. Three approximation algorithms have been proposed to solve the maximum scheduling problem. The experiment results show that all above algorithms can get pretty solutions in solving maximum scheduling problem, and the approximation ratio for optimal solution of these approximation algorithms are all larger than or equal to 0.5 even though the resource ratio is very low. © 2011 ACADEMY PUBLISHER.

Abstract:Rice seed size is an important agronomic trait in determining the yield potential, and four seed size related genes (GS3, GW2, qSW5/GW5 and GIF1) have been cloned in rice so far. However, the relationship among these four genes is still unclear, which will impede the process of gene pyramiding breeding program to some extent. To shade light on the relationship of above four genes, gene expression analysis was performed with GS3-RNAi, GW2-RNAi lines and CSSL of qSW5 at the transcriptional level. The results clearly showed that qSW5 and GW2 positively regulate the expression of GS3. Meanwhile, qSW5 can be down-regulated by repression of GW2 transcription. Additionally, GIF1 expression was found to be positively regulated by qSW5 but negatively by GW2 and GS3. Moreover, the allelic effects of qSW5 and GS3 were detailedly characterized based on a natural population consisting of 180 rice cultivars. It was indicated that mutual interactions exist between the two genes, in which, qSW5 affecting seed length is masked by GS3 alleles, and GS3 affecting seed width is masked by qSW5 alleles. These findings provide more insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying seed size development in rice and are likely to be useful for improving rice grain yield. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.

Abstract:An electrochemical method has been successfully demonstrated for sensitive determination of azithromycin (Azi) with room temperature ionic liquid (IL) of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (BMIMPF6) - graphene (Gr) composite modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The cyclic voltammetric results indicate that Gr/IL/GCE can remarkably enhance electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of Azi in neutral solutions. Azi produce an anodic peak at about 0.82 V at this electrode. The electrocatalytic behavior was further exploited as a sensitive detection scheme for the Azi determination by differential-pulse voltammetry (DPV). Under optimized conditions, the concentration range and detection limit were 0.49-28.57 μg ml-1 and 0.19 μg ml-1 (S/N = 3) respectively for Azi. The method was successfully applied assay of the drug in the pharmaceutical dosage forms. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract:ABAQUS is adopted to simulate deep excavation of retaining structure with double-row piles. Along with the increase of excavation depth, the pile lateral displacement and internal force distribution of retaining structure with double-row piles are studied. Influence law of pile lateral displacement and internal force are analyzed which comes from some affected factors, such us retaining structure types, distance between two rows, pile spacing, soil strength between piles, crown beam stiffness. © 2011 IEEE.

Abstract:Porous anodic tin oxides were constructed via anodic oxidation of tin foils at room temperature. The optimal conditions for the porous anodic tin oxide growth has been explored based on the voltage-, oxalic acid concentration-, and time-dependent reactions. The formation mechanism of the porous anodic tin oxide film is also discussed. Raman spectra show an abnormal Raman peak at 693 cm-1 which is attributed to the IR-active A2uLO mode for the disorder of tin oxide with nanochannels. A broad photoluminescence emission band centered at 600 nm is disclosed to originate from the electronic states determined by the oxygen vacancies. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
