In the present study, a sialic acid-binding lectin was identified and characterized from Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum (designed as RpSABL-1). Multiple alignments strongly suggested that RpSABL-1 was a new member of the sialic acid-binding lectin family. In non-stimulated clams, RpSABL-1 transcripts were constitutively expressed in all five tested tissues, especially in hepatopancreas. After Vibrio anguillarum challenge, the expression of RpSABL-1 mRNA was significantly up-regulated at 6 h (P

With economic and industrial restructuring, the number and size of commercial parks are increasing. The most basic function of energy storage system in commercial parks is to carry out the load side, Which also brings economic benefits and ensures the reliability of power grid. Therefore, it is of practical significance to study the control strategy of energy storage system in business parks. In this paper, a variable parameter power difference control strategy for energy storage system is proposed. Based on the typical daily load of the park, it divides the load interval and the SOC of the energy storage system. Different subspaces are provided with different strategies. Finally, a simulation analysis, taking a Shanghai business park as an actual data sample shows that the proposed method for the energy storage system is effective.

The study of the uncertainty of wind power is very important for power system planning and operation decision. This paper presents a method of wind power probability interval prediction based on Bootstrap quantile regression method. Due to the large difference in wind power data, the method first divides the power at equal intervals. And then use the Bootstrap method to extract the data in different power intervals to form the pseudo samples. Then use the quantile method to obtain the upper and lower limits of the confidence interval of each power interval. Finally, the upper and lower limits of the confidence intervals of multiple power intervals are combined by using the quantile regression method to obtain the probabilistic prediction interval of wind power. Let the interval coverage and average bandwidth as evaluation index. Let the interval coverage rate and average bandwidth as evaluation index. Through the Bootstrap quantile regression method, the interval coverage rate of wind power probability interval prediction is higher, the average bandwidth is narrower, the precision is higher and the effect is better.

Pitting of Hf in Et4NBr t-butanol and acetonitrile (ACN) solutions was studied by means of cyclic voltammetry, potentiodynamic anodic polarization, galvanostatic, potentiostatic and impedance techniques. The potentiodynamic anodic polarization curves did not exhibit an active dissolution region near corrosion potential due to the presence of an oxide film on the electrode surface, which was followed by pitting corrosion resulting from the passivity breakdown by the aggressive attack of bromide (Br−) ion. The pitting potential (E pit) increased with increasing potential scanning rate but decreased with increasing temperature and Br− concentration. Cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic measurements allowed the pitting potential (E pit) and the repassivation potential (E p) to be determined. Analysis of the potential/time transients revealed that the applied anodic current density had a significant influence on the values of E pit. On the other hand, the E p values were independent on the applied current density. The current/time transients indicated that the incubation time (t i) for passivity breakdown decreased slightly with increasing potential and solution temperature. The impedance spectra showed that the resistance of passive layer decreased with increasing potential.

The knowledge representation based on fuzzy Petri nets included library, transition, input, output, input confidence, output confidence and so on. Since the fuzzy knowledge had been preferably expressed and processed by model of fuzzy Petri nets based on fuzzy production rules, a fuzzy Petri nets model of hydraulic variable pitch system for wind turbine generator was established. In this paper, the fuzzy Petri net was represented in the form of matrix and a parallel reasoning algorithm was applied in fault diagnosis. The algorithm had analyzed many factors, such as weights, thresholds of transitions, reliability of rules. Beside this, according to the algorithm, the trigger condition of transitions became more strictly. It avoided unnecessary repetitions of transitions trigger effectively, and reduced the complexity of the algorithm. At last, the algorithm was compiled on the platform of Matlab with its powerful capabilities of matrix operations and data analysis. The result had shown that it had the ability of parallel reasoning for complex system and that it is highefficiency and is easy to implement.

Intermittency and uncertainty pose great challenges to the large-scale integration of wind power, so research on the probabilistic interval forecasting of wind power is becoming more and more important for power system planning and operation. In this paper, a Naive Bayesian wind power prediction interval model, combining rough set (RS) theory and particle swarm optimization (PSO), is proposed to further improve wind power prediction performance. First, in the designed prediction interval model, the input variables are identified based on attribute significance using rough set theory. Next, the Naive Bayesian Classifier (NBC) is established to obtain the prediction power class. Finally, the upper and lower output weights of NBC are optimized segmentally by PSO, and are used to calculate the upper and lower bounds of the optimal prediction intervals. The superiority of the proposed approach is demonstrated by comparison with a Naive Bayesian model with fixed output weight, and a rough set-Naive Bayesian model with fixed output weight. It is shown that the proposed rough set-Naive Bayesian-particle swarm optimization method has higher coverage of the probabilistic prediction intervals and a narrower average bandwidth under different confidence levels.

In order to reduce the fluctuation rate of wind power output and improve the reliability when connected to grid, this paper puts forwards a control method of smoothing wind power output. This method is used to smooth wind power fluctuation with battery energy storage system(BESS) based on Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD). After wind power is decomposed by EMD, the low-frequency parts are used as wind power grid-connected value and the high-frequency parts are stored by BESS; The orders of EMD filter can be adaptively adjusted according to the state of charge (SOC). Compared with another method of constant order with EMD filter, simulation results show that the method proposed in this paper can avoid the over-charging and over-discharging of battery energy storage system so as to keep SOC stable.

Reliability is an important issue in large-scale photovoltaic (PV) systems as their operations rely on business plans developed over periods of time of at least twenty years which often assume fault-free functioning. This paper presents a Bayesian network (BN) reliability model combined with Fault tree (FT) for assessing the reliability of PV systems. A fault tree was built based on electrical architecture diagram of a generic PV system firstly, and then it was mapped into a Bayesian network. The conditional probability table is derived by employing the bucket elimination according to the fault probability of each component for reliability assessment of the system. The paper shows that the basic inference techniques of BN may be used to obtain classical reliability parameters (i.e. reliability of the top event or any sub-system) and identify the weak components of PV system. Moreover, the framework based on the BN formalism is intuitive and easy to be applied into the reliability assessment of PV system, and it provides a basis for more advanced and useful analyses in fault diagnosis of systems.

3β-acetoxy-17, 17-ethylendioxy-15β, 16β-methylene-5-androsten-7β-ol(I) was prepared by 3 steps from 3β-acetoxy-15β, 16β-methylene-5-androsten-17-one (II) with overall yield of 52.7%. Thus, interaction of ethylene glycol and material (II) gave 3β-acetoxy- 17, 17-ethylendioxy-15β, 16β-methylene-5-androsten (III) which was subsequently oxidated and stereoselectively reduced to produce compound(I). The normal influencing factors, such as the types of oxidants and reductives, the mole ratio of reactants, the reaction temperature, and the addition ways of reactants, in oxidation and reduction were discussed. The results show that the oxidation rate order is CrO3-C5H5N (1:1, mole fraction)>CrO3-C5H5N(1:2)>(C5H5NH)2Cr2O7 in terms of the oxidant, the yield of the oxidation becomes higher with increasing the oxidant stoichiometry and raising the reaction temperature. And the optimum condition is that the reaction temperature is at 30 °C, and n(III)/n(CrO3-C5H5N(1:2))=1:20. The yield of the −7β alcohol order with Li[Al(OC(CH3)3)3H] (e. g. 78.6%) is more than that with NaBH4 (e. g. 14.5%) in terms of the reductive agent and the reduction rate decreases in the course of reaction. The compound (I) is characterized by IR and MS.

Photovoltaic (PV) power forecasting is one of the effective ways to decrease the influence caused by large-scale PV power station connecting to the grid. Currently, there are various forecasting methods. However, single forecasting method tends to perform unsatisfactorily. In this paper, a combination method in PV power forecasting based on the correlation coefficient was proposed. Firstly, the persistence method, support vector machine (SVM) method and prediction method based on similar data were used to forecast the PV power separately. Then the weight of single prediction method was determined by the correlation coefficient of prediction and actual values. Single prediction method with larger correlation coefficient has greater weight. Finally, a combination model based on the correlation coefficient was established. By means of simulation and analysis, the combination prediction method based on the correlation coefficient was proved to be effective and the prediction accuracy was improved.
