A new method for surface profiling in the confocal microscope utilizing chromatic aberration is presented. An expression for the integrated spectral intensity in the new profilometer is derived and chromatic aberration in the confocal microscope is explained. Estimates of the minimum resolvable depth and the maximum depth that can be profiled are given utilizing a ratiometric signal detection scheme. Examples of ratio images illustrating the new surface profiling technique are presented, showing the scheme to be both simple to implement and effective. 相似文献

Ethylene is an important feedstock for various industrial processes, particularly in the polymer industry. Unfortunately, during naphtha cracking to produce ethylene, there are instances of acetylene presence in the product stream, which poisons the Ziegler–Natta polymerization catalysts. Thus, appropriate process modification, optimization, and in particular, catalyst design are essential to ensure the production of highly pure ethylene that is suitable as a feedstock in polymerization reactions. Accordingly, carefully selected process parameters and the application of various catalyst systems have been optimized for this purpose. This review provides a holistic view of the recent reports on the selective hydrogenation of acetylene. Previously published reviews were limited to Pd catalysts. However, effective new metal and non-metal catalysts have been explored for selective acetylene hydrogenation. Updates on this recent progress and more comprehensive computational studies that are now available for the reaction are described herein. In addition to the favored Pd catalysts, other catalyst systems including mono, bimetallic, trimetallic, and ionic catalysts are presented. The specific role(s) that each process parameter plays to achieve high acetylene conversion and ethylene selectivity is discussed. Attempts have been made to elucidate the possible catalyst deactivation mechanisms involved in the reaction. Extensive reports suggest that acetylene adsorption occurs through an active single-site mechanism rather than via dual active sites. An increase in the reaction temperature affords high acetylene conversion and ethylene selectivity to obtain reactant streams free of ethylene. Conflicting findings to this trend have reported the presence of ethylene in the feed stream. This review will serve as a useful resource of condensed information for researchers in the field of acetylene-selective hydrogenation. 相似文献

In this article, we report the outcome of an investigation made to uncover the premature fracture of crusher jaws produced
in a local foundry. A crusher jaw that had failed while in service was studied through metallographic techniques to determine
the cause of the failure. Our investigation revealed that the reason for the fracture was the presence of large carbides at
the grain boundaries and in the grain matrix. This led to the formation of microcracks that propagated along the grain boundaries
under in-service working forces. It is also believed that the precipitation of carbides at the grain boundaries may have occurred
because of improper heat treatment, but not because of a deficiency in composition. 相似文献

The increasing number of small and medium scale manufacturers of powder cocoa beverages (PCBs) in Nigeria requires relevant technical data useful in designing new and value added products from cocoa powder. This paper reports a preliminary study carried out to determine how some physical and chemical factors relate to the instant properties of some commercial samples of PCBs produced in Nigeria. The levels of chemical component like moisture, fat and sugar in the PCBs varied from 0.8% to 3.6%, 2.0% to 10.4% and 52.4% to 90.5%, respectively. Physical properties like the bulk density, angle of repose, average particle size and uniformity index of the products varied from 0.49 to 0.81 g/cm3, 25.0° to 37.7°, 0.031 to 0.796 mm and 6.25 to 7.44, respectively. Instant properties such as wettability, dispersibility and solubility ranged from 10.7 to 21.7 s, 50.0% to 94.5% and 44.2% to 76.6%, respectively. These properties differed significantly (p < 0.05) among the 10 commercial samples of PCB studied. Sugar (sucrose) content of products had the most significant (p < 0.05) main effect on their instant properties followed by the fat content. Wetting time showed a significant (p < 0.05) negative linear correlation with sugar content. Agglomeration increased the average particle size, which correlated negatively with uniformity index. The instant properties of fine PCBs (average particle size <0.294 mm) were more predictable than the agglomerated samples. 相似文献

The human gut microbiota regulates estrogen metabolism through the “estrobolome,” the collection of bacterial genes that encode enzymes like β-glucuronidases and β-glucosidases. These enzymes deconjugate and reactivate estrogen, influencing circulating levels. The estrobolome mediates the enterohepatic circulation and bioavailability of estrogen. Alterations in gut microbiota composition and estrobolome function have been associated with estrogen-related diseases like breast cancer, enometrial cancer, and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). This is likely due to dysregulated estrogen signaling partly contributed by the microbial impacts on estrogen metabolism. Dietary phytoestrogens also undergo bacterial metabolism into active metabolites like equol, which binds estrogen receptors and exhibits higher estrogenic potency than its precursor daidzein. However, the ability to produce equol varies across populations, depending on the presence of specific gut microbes. Characterizing the estrobolome and equol-producing genes across populations can provide microbiome-based biomarkers. Further research is needed to investigate specific components of the estrobolome, phytoestrogen-microbiota interactions, and mechanisms linking dysbiosis to estrogen-related pathology. However, current evidence suggests that the gut microbiota is an integral regulator of estrogen status with clinical relevance to women's health and hormonal disorders. 相似文献

This research work was conducted to investigate the impact of critical processing conditions on the selected mechanical properties of maize in the production of fermented ogi slurry. Five varieties of maize (A4W, C3Y, D8W, B2Y, and E9W) were soaked at 28 ºC and average hot soaking at 65ºC, respectively, for 96 h at 12-h interval. Selected mechanical properties were evaluated based on a 5 × 2 × 9 factorial design (varieties× soaking methods× soaking periods). Force (FB) and energy required to break (EB) maize grains decreased significantly (p < 0.05) up to the 12th hour. The EB reduced from 873.3 to 70.0 N mm and from 873.3 to 77.8 N mm for variety E9W at soaking conditions of 28ºC and 65ºC, respectively. Similar trends were observed for other maize varieties. Modulus of elasticity and resilience decreased significantly (p < 0.05) with increase in soaking period and moisture content. The EB to break maize grains was directly proportional to the product of Young’s modulus and area (Em A1.5), the FB and area (Fm A°.5) and force required to break and geometric mean diameter (F Dg2) of maize grains with a high R2 (0.9610.999). This study suggested that the duration of soaking between 12 and 24 h should be enough to significantly (p > 0.05) reduce the hardness, force, and energy required to break whole maize grains in the production of this fermented product and relevant for predicting minimum required energy for a large-scale operation. 相似文献
