Continuous development of new functional foods is the response of science and industry to the increased consumer awareness regarding health and the role of foods for improving quality of life. Oats and probiotics have long been recognized for their health benefits. In the present study was carried the technological study of fermented product based on oat bran. In an attempt to develop a fermented, non-dairy product based on oats, oat bran suspension was fermented with a mixture of starter culture containing Str. thermophilus, L. bulgaricus and L. acidophilus. The oat base was heat treated for 10 min at 95 °C prior to inoculation. Several factors, such as fermentation time, starter culture concentration, oat bran and sucrose content, affecting the fermentation process, were established. It was found that the 10% starter culture, 5% oat bran and 5% sucrose content to the oat mash are more appropriate for obtaining a probiotic product. The appropriate fermentation time was 8 h. The viable cell counts reached at the end of process were about 6 ×109 cfu ml-1.

Solar cell is the most effective form to use solar energy. The researchers focused on the dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) due to its low cost and high transformation efficiency. TiO2 photoanode was modified by doping the wide band gap semiconductor of CaO into TiO2 matrix. The influence of modification on DSSC was discussed in this paper. The results indicated that most CaO could pass into the surface structure of TiO2 and the particle size of CaO was close to TiO2. The forbidden band structure of TiO2 was changed by the energy barrier of the CaO/TiO2 core-shell film. The interface effect between CaO and TiO2 could increase the transmission path of light inside the film and the absorbance was enhanced. Under the surface modification of CaO, the absorption capacity of N3 dye, absorbance and conversion efficiency were highly improved. Especially, the photoelectric conversion efficiency was increased 18.94% compared with pure TiO2. Thus, we can improve the photoelectrical performance of DSSC by using surface modification.
太阳能电池是利用太阳能最有效的形式。染料敏化太阳能电池(dye-sensitized solar cell, DSSC)因其成本低、转化效率高而备受关注。通过在TiO2基体中掺杂氧化钙的宽禁带半导体来修饰TiO2光阳极。讨论了改性对DSSC的影响。结果表明,CaO大部分能进入TiO2的表面结构,且CaO的粒径与TiO2接近。CaO/TiO2核壳膜的能垒改变了TiO2的禁带结构。CaO与TiO2之间的界面效应增加了光在膜内的透射路径,提高了吸光度。在CaO的表面改性下,N3染料的吸收能力、吸光度和转化效率都得到了很大的提高。与纯TiO2相比,光电转换效率提高了18.94%。因此,我们可以通过表面改性来改善DSSC的光电性能。

An interpreted system is a formal description of the computations carried out by a set of agents. And also interpreted systems have been proven a suitable formalism for reasoning about temporal and epistemic properties of agents. Alternating-time temporal logic(ATL) is a temporal logic that incorporates some basic game theoretical notions. Interpreted systems and the concurrent game structures in ATL are closely related. So we study the differences and similarities between the interpreted systems and the game structures for the notions like time, knowledge, strategy for analyzing the behavior of agents and multi-agent systems.

This paper concerns with the problem of obtaining the diamond-like carbon (DLC) films. DLC films have high hardness, low friction coefficient, low electrical conductivity, chemical inertness, high thermal conductivity and other valuable properties. Due to these properties DLC films are used as protective, dielectric, antireflecting, antifriction and biocompatible coatings. The most popular methods for DLC film production are vacuum arc evaporation and pulsed laser ablation. However, using these methods presents some difficulties. The main disadvantage of the coatings' deposition from the arc discharge plasma is drop fraction which degrades the quality of the obtained coatings. The disadvantage of the pulsed laser ablation is its technical complexity and difficulties in realization of the method. In this paper the magnetron sputtering is treated as an alternative method for producing the DLC films. The object of research is dual magnetron sputtering system (DMSS), which has advantages over planar magnetron system. The research of different operation modes of the DMSS while sputtering the carbon target in the Ar environment and the analysis of the hardness, electrical resistance and phase structure of the obtained DLC films on polished stainless steel are reported.

Aimed at the problems of crack, wrinkle and springback caused by base metal different forming property of Tailor-Welded Blanks (TWBs) on two sides of welding line, the bending springback research on TWBs with different thickness which have transverse weld is carried out by the methods of combining numerical simulation with experiments. Based on optimized forming technology, the method of split blank holder is proposed to form the TWBs components. On the basis of the result of springback calculations, the die surface compensation is carried applying the springback compensation module (SCP/Compensation) in the FEM numerical simulation analysis software of DYNAFORM. The simulation results indicate that applying the die after two times of compensation to finish the bending process, the component surface after springback is identical with that of standard component, and the influences of springback on component forming can be eliminated basically. The experiment of U-shaped part forming is done to confirm the accuracy of the finite element numerical simulation results.

This study aims to investigate the AD (asthma, allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis) prevalence for elementary schoolchildren in an industrial city of Ulsan, Korea and to identify major environmental risk factors associated with AD prevalence. Data on the physician-diagnosed prevalence in the past 12 months and potential risk factors of AD were collected by a questionnaire including ISAAC core questions from the 2009-2010 survey of 4,067 schoolchildren (1st-6th grade) living in different urban environments. Exposure to outdoor air pollution was estimated by using annual mean concentrations of pollutants (PM10, O3, NO2, SO2 and CO) obtained from monitoring sites near the participant's residence. Our survey results showed that the AD prevalence rate ranged between 26.2% and 35.9%. Children living in polluted areas (near industrial and central urban areas) had about 10% higher prevalence of AD than those living in coastal or suburban residences. The Chi-Square test demonstrated that this local difference was statistically significant before and after adjustment of major confounder such as parental AD history and parental education. The results of the logistic regression analysis showed that current AD prevalence was significantly associated independently with socio-economic indices and indoor/outdoor environmental factors. Statistically significant association between several environmental factors (ventilation in winter, odor condition and exposure to traffic smoke, and outdoor PM10/O3 pollution) and the prevalence of AD was found by multivariate model after adjusting confounders. The adjusted odd ratios for the AD prevalence were 1.24 (95% CI: 1.03-1.49) and 1.79 (95% CI: 1.17-2.75) with increase in PM10 level of 10 μg m-3 and O3 level of 10 ppb, respectively. Although there should be other risk factors for AD, these results suggest that living in polluted area and exposure to high levels of air pollutants can contribute to the increased risk of childhood AD.
