    Abstract: Provided is a sensory quality evaluation method for tobacco and tobacco products using an electronic nose instrument. The electronic nose instrument includes a gas sensor array module, an automatic smoke sampling system, a computer control and data analysis system, and an automatic ignition device. These components are integrated in a test box to make the instrument be structure miniaturization and work automation. The large tobacco data is established, in which the relationship between the responses of gas sensor array and the brand labels and sensory quality index scores by testing a large number of standard cigarette samples. A cascade type of modular neural networks is proposed with revised activation function and new decision-making and quantification rules to simulate the smoking and evaluating process of the professional panel. The electronic nose instrument and method realize on-site detection, discrimination and quality score estimation of a large number of tobacco and tobacco products.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the application of a viable cell monitor to the cryopreservation of plant cells. The viable cell monitor is, for the first time, used in a method for rapidly evaluating the effect of cell freezing-preservation. The effect of a cryoprotectant on cell preservation is evaluated through the change in the capacitance of viable cells before and after cell freezing and resuscitation. Viable cell electrodes can provide a quick and accurate characterization of viable cell concentrations. Combining the viable cell capacitance with the detection result of 2,3,4-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC), a rapid and quantitative evaluation of the effect of a freezing method on cell preservation can be achieved, thus overcoming the low effectiveness and non-quantification of previous cell preservation methods. Compared with traditional methods, the method of the present disclosure can improve the comprehensive score of cell cryopreservation by 5 times or more.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a hydroxyacyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase gene, an acyl-coenzyme A thiolase gene, genetically engineered strains and a use thereof. The hydroxyacyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase gene encodes a protein (i) or (ii) as follows: (i) having an amino acid sequence according to SEQ ID NO 2; (ii) derived by substituting, deleting or inserting one or more amino acids in the amino acid sequence defined by (i) and having the same function as that of the protein of (i). The present invention constructs genetically engineered Mycobacterium strains lacking of a hydroxyacyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase gene or an acyl-coenzyme A thiolase gene, which are used in the preparation of steroidal compounds, such as 1,4-BNA, 4-BNA, 9-OH-BNA, etc. Further, the invention improves the production efficiency and product quality of steroidal drug, improves the utilization of drug precursors, reduces the production costs, and provides the advantages of mild reaction conditions, environmentally friendly, and high economic and social benefits.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a supported polymetal olefin polymerization catalyst, comprising a porous support, a magnesium-containing support component, a transition metal titanium component supported on the porous support, and further comprising at least one non-magnesium metal component supported on the porous support. Further provided is a preparation method and a use of the supported polymetal olefin polymerization catalyst. An efficient composite support supported polymetal Ziegler-Natta catalyst is provided in the present invention, wherein a porous support, a soluble magnesium compound, and a soluble non-magnesium metal compound are used as raw materials. The supporting of titanium is achieved while a composite support containing magnesium and non-magnesium metal components is formed in situ in the surface of the porous support. The present invention has the advantage of a simple preparation method, a low cost, a controllability of morphology, properties of the catalyst, etc. Comparing the provided catalyst with the same type of magnesium/titanium catalyst free of non-magnesium metal components, the catalytic performance such as polymerzation activity, hydrogen regulation sensitivity and copolymerization performance are significantly improved.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a device for deep oil removal from wastewater containing a low concentration of wasteoil. Wastewater containing a low concentration of wasteoil enters the device via an inlet and passes through a flow conditioner, causing the fluid to become uniformly distributed. Then, by means of a layer of oleophilic-hydrophobic fibers and hydrophilic-oleophobic fibers woven in a certain manner, a trace of oil droplets are captured and then coalesce and grow on the layer, and a trace of oil-in-water emulsion is demulsified and separated on the layer. Finally, by means of corrugation-enhanced sedimentation and separation, the oil droplets coalesce and grow and are then separated rapidly. The invention also provides a set of devices for implementing the method, having several parts such as a housing, a feed pipe, a flow conditioner, a fiber coalescence layer, a corrugation-enhanced separation layer, and a level gauge. The present technique is highly efficient in separation, consumes little power, and can operate continuously for a long period of time. Thus, this technique can be widely used in processes for treating wastewater containing a low concentration of wasteoil.
