    Abstract In order to improve the interface experience effect of the mobile terminal software, this paper improves the UI design by combining computer image processing technology and improves the diffusion algorithm for images by improving the diffusion model, improving the diffusion coefficient and adaptively selecting the diffusion threshold. Moreover, this paper has carried out deep research on coordinate transformation and image interpolation and stored the result of coordinate transformation in the coordinate transformation table and weight table. In addition, this paper proposes an improved digital scan conversion method based on a lookup table and constructs an improved UI design system model. Through the analysis of experimental data, it can be seen that the application effect of computer image processing technology in UI design is very good, and it can effectively promote the improvement of UI design technology.

    Abstract The sticky sewage sludge was pre-conditioned using biomasses and pulverized coal and thin-layer drying experiments were conducted to investigate the co-drying characteristics of the mixtures. Parametric studies were carried out to investigate the effects of mixing ratio, layer thickness, hot air temperature and velocity on the drying process and to obtain the optimum drying conditions. The effective diffusivities and activation energies in the drying process of sludge and biomass/coal mixtures were determined. Experimental results showed pre-conditioning can increase the bed porosity and improve the drying rate, allowing a 50% reduction of the total drying time for the sludge/sawdust mixtures. The mixing ratio, layer thickness and hot air temperature had significant effects on the sludge drying rate. Addition of sawdust and bran reduced the drying activation energy of sewage sludge from 16.67 kJ/mol for pure sludge to 12.97 kJ/mol, 10.99 kJ/mol respectively.

    Abstract A precise geometry model of the rice kernel is necessary to predict the moisture content and temperature distribution, or even drying stress in the kernel. In this study, a three-dimensional body fitted model of brown rice (Chunyou 84) kernel was developed by using image processing method, and the COMSOL Multiphysics software was used to simulate the drying process of the brown rice and compared with the experimental results. The maximum deviation between the simulated and experimental results was about 8%. During the drying process, the temperature gradient in the rice kernel only occurred a few minutes at the initial drying period (0–6.5 min, at 45 °C), while the moisture content gradient lasted in the whole drying process. Simulation and experimental results showed that the hot air temperature was one main factor governing the drying process of the brown rice.

    Abstract Pelletization is a significant approach for the efficient utilization of biomass energy. Sunflower seed husk is a common solid waste in the process of oil production. The novelty of this study was to determine the parameters during production of a novel pellet made from sunflower seed husk. The energy consumption ( W ) and physical properties (bulk density (BD) and mechanical durability (DU)) of the novel pellet were evaluated and optimized at the laboratory by using a pelletizer and response surface methodology (RSM) under a controlled moisture content (4%−14%), compression pressure (100−200 MPa), and die temperature (70−170 °C). The results show that the variables of temperature, pressure, and moisture content of raw material are positively correlated with BD and DU. Increasing the temperature and moisture content of raw materials can effectively reduce W, while increasing the pressure has an adverse effect on W. The optimum conditions of temperature (150 °C), pressure (180 MPa), and moisture content (12%) led to a BD of 1117.44 kg/m 3 , DU of 98.8%, and W of 25.3 kJ/kg in the lab. Overall, although the nitrogen content was slightly high, the novel manufactured pellets had excellent performance based on ISO 17225 (International Organization for Standardization of 17225, Geneva, Switzerland, 2016). Thus, sunflower seed husk could be considered as a potential feedstock for biomass pelletization.

    Abstract In this paper, we present an innovative bilaterally-controllable self-locking mechanism that can be applied to the micro in-pipe robot. The background and state of the art of the inchworm micro in-pipe robot is briefly described in the very beginning of the paper, where the main factors that influence the traction ability are also discussed. Afterwards, the micro in-pipe robots’ propulsion principle based on a unidirectional self- locking mechanism is discussed. Then, several kinds of self-locking mechanisms are compared, and a new bilaterally-controllable self-locking mechanism is proposed. By implementing the self-locking mechanism, the robot’s tractive force is no longer restricted by the friction force, and both two-way motion and position locking for the robot can be achieved. Finally, the traction experiment is conducted using a prototype robot with the new bilaterally-controllable self-locking mechanism. Test results show that this new self-locking mechanism can adapt itself to a diameter of Φ17~Φ20 mm and has a blocking force up to 25N, and the maximum tractive force of the in-pipe robot based on such a locking mechanism is 12N under the maximum velocity of 10mm/s.

    Abstract Polymeric ionic liquids (PILs) are of considerable interest as next-generation battery materials due to their potential to combine the solid-state stability of polymers with the high ion conductivities of ionic liquids. However, polymerization of ionic liquids to form a polymer generally leads to a suppression in ion transport rates that has proven to be a major barrier to the realization of commercially viable PIL solid electrolytes. Here we employ a combination of all atom and coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations to identify strategies by which ion conductivity can be maximized by maximizing both PIL segmental relaxation rates and the extent of ion transport decoupling from chain dynamics. Results indicate that combined ion size correlates well with PIL glass transition temperatures and segmental dynamics but that ion/polymer decoupling is controlled primarily by the size of the free ion. We also find that ion aggregation promotes both reduced glass transition temperatures and enhanced ion/polymer decoupling. These results suggest that PIL ion mobility can be improved by combining ultralarge bound ions with very small free ions and with chemistries that promote ion aggregation.

    Abstract Combined cooling, heating and power (CCHP) system plays a significant role in efficient usage of energy in field of small scale power system for application ranging from residence to utilities. In the paper, a new CCHP system is proposed which consists of a power generation unit (PGU), an absorption chiller, a storage tank and a ground source heat pump (GSHP) to substitute conventional electric chiller and auxiliary boiler to supply the deficient cooling or heating load. In the study, three basic load following strategies: following electric load (FEL), following thermal load (FTL) and following hybrid load (FHL) are employed to analyze the annual total cost (ATC), operational cost (COST), carbon dioxide emissions (CDE) and primary energy consumption (PEC) based on a case study of a regional energy system in Sino-Singapore eco-city. For the evaluated case, carbon tax and electricity feed in tariff are both considered to compare with the performances of following maximum electric efficiency of the PGU (Max-eff) strategy. The results show that the proposed system performed well on COST, CDE and PEC reduction and the ATC are all increased except that of Max-eff strategy with carbon tax and electricity feed in tariff. When carbon tax and electricity feed in tariff are considered, performances of the Max-eff strategy is the best. Otherwise, the application of FEL is better. Finally, for the Max-eff and FEL strategy, sensitivity analysis is performed and results are presented with varying of electricity and gas price.

    Abstract The variation of the end-user load and the constant output of power generation units (PGUs) results in a mismatch between energy supply and demand. To reduce the difference and to avoid an excess output of electricity or heat, a complementary combined cooling, heating and power- organic Rankine cycle system (CCHP-ORC) system with a ground source heat pump is configured. In this study, the CCHP-ORC system, which is operated in thermal demand management (TDM) or electricity demand management mode, is employed to analyze the operational cost (OC), annual total cost (ATC), carbon dioxide emission (CDE), primary energy consumption (PEC) and system efficiency based on a case study of a regional energy system in Sino-Singapore eco-city. Meanwhile, the performance analysis of an improved operational mode is also conducted in this study. Following this mode, the waste heat and electricity imported from grid can be minimized by controlling the operation condition of PGU and ORC with a thermal management controller (TMC-ORC mode). Monthly and annual results in the case study show that the proposed system performed well on OC, CDE and PEC reductions and the ATC are both increased except for the ATC of TMC-ORC mode. However, the total efficiency of TDM is the highest among the three operational modes. Finally, for TMC-ORC mode, sensitivity analysis is performed and results are presented with varying electricity and gas price.

    Abstract Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease. A proportion of MG patients did not get satisfactory results after treatment with pyridostigmine and prednisone. Jia Wei Bu Zhong Yi Qi (Jia Wei BZYQ) decoction, a water extract from multiple herbs, has been demonstrated to be effective in the treatment of multiple “Qi deficiency type” diseases including MG in China. In this text, we investigated protein alterations in the plasma from healthy volunteers (C), MG patients without any treatment (T1), MG patients with routine western medical treatment (T2), and MG patients with combined treatments of Jia Wei BZYQ decoction and routine western medicines (T3) and identified some potential proteins involved in the pathogenesis and treatment of MG. iTRAQ (isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation) and 2D-LC-MS/MS (two-dimensional liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry technologies) were employed to screen differentially expressed proteins. The identification, quantification, functional annotation, and interaction of proteins were analyzed by matching software and databases. In our project, 618 proteins were identified, among which 447 proteins had quantitative data. The number of differentially expressed proteins was 110, 117, 143, 115, 86, and 158 in T1 vs. C, T2 vs. C, T2 vs. T1, T3 vs. C, T3 vs. T1, and T3 vs. T2 groups, respectively. Functional annotation results showed that many differentially expressed proteins were closely associated with immune responses. For instance, some key proteins such as C-reactive protein, apolipoprotein C-III, apolipoprotein A-II, alpha-actinin-1, and thrombospondin-1 have been found to be abnormally expressed in T3 group compared to T1 group or T2 group. Interaction network analyses also provided some potential biomarkers or targets for MG management.
