Effects of differential protein removal on the properties of early indica rice flour by CAO Yijun, FENG Wei, WANG Ren, ZHANG Hao, WANG Tao

“…ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of the effect of deproteinisation on the physicochemical and functional properties of rice flour.MethodsEnzymatic and alkaline methods were used to remove protein from early rice flour, and the damaged starch content, size distribution, morphology, solubility, swelling power, pasting characteristics and textural characteristics of the deproteinized rice flour were analyzed.ResultsSodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) showed that the alkaline method equally removed the protein subunit where as the enzymatic method showed a better homogeneity of protein removal from the surface of starch.The size distribution of the control showed a majorpeak at ca.70 μm and it shifted to 6μmafter protein removal. …”

Receiver scheme of rake equalization for 60GHz pulse communication system by Xian CHEN, Xuehua LI

“…Dispersion of the signal energy and the inter symbol interference（ISI）is caused by the multipath fading in 60GHz pulse communication environment.To solve this problem,the severity of the ISI in the system was analyzed,and the method to eliminate interference was studied.Based on the 60GHz wireless channel model established by IEEE 802.15.3c,the simulation platform of 60GHz pulse communication system was built.Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation of ISI in the system were carried out,and a receiver scheme of combining Rake receiver and equalizer was designed.Results show that,the two taps MRC-Rake receiver module combined with MMSE linear equalization module can not only improve the signal energy by multipath diversity,but also eliminate ISI.The performance of the system was improved without increasing the complexity.The scheme provides a reference for the design of 60GHz pulse communication system in the future.…”

Ascent Trajectory Optimization Using Second-Order Birkhoff Pseudospectral Methods by Xiaopeng Xue, Yujia Xie, Hui Zhou, Qinghai Gong, Dangjun Zhao

“…This paper proposes a novel convex optimization framework for two-stage launch vehicle (TSLV) ascent trajectory planning from liftoff to orbit insertion, featuring two groundbreaking advancements over existing convex optimization methodologies: (1) an innovative second-order Birkhoff pseudospectral (BPS) method is developed that reduces the number of dynamic equality constraints by 50% compared to traditional PS methods, meanwhile, an augmented variable transcription technique is used to formulate inequality constraints; therefore, the sparsity ratio of the inequality matrix is reduced to less than 1%; (2) a new iterative solution strategy initialized by a few guesses is proposed to efficiently obtain the optimal solution. …”
