Ginseng processing often involves multiple drying and heat treatments. Ginseng is typically processed within one week of harvesting or is stored at low temperatures to prevent spoilage. Black ginseng (BG) is manufactured by repeating the heat treatment and drying process of ginseng several times. We compared the suitability of low-temperature stored ginseng (SG) and harvested ginseng (HG) as the components for black ginseng production. SG and HG were processed into black ginseng and the appearance change, free sugar content, and benzo[a]pyrene (BAP) content were observed. Appearance observations showed the SG to be suitable in terms of quality when heat-treated at a temperature of 95 ℃ or higher. The BAP content of the SG increased significantly as the steaming process was repeated. A maximum BAP concentration of 5.31 ± 1.12 μg/kg was measured in SG steamed from 2 to 5 times, making it unsuitable for processing into BG. SG and HG showed similar trends in the content of sucrose, fructose, and glucose during steaming. This study aimed to facilitate the proper choice of base material to improve the safety of black ginseng by limiting BAP production during processing.

The evolution of the structure and assessment of the age limit of steel 12Cr18Ni10Ti upon fatigue loading is considered using neural network modeling and approaches of fractal analysis of the microstructure. An algorithm for processing images of the microstructures has been developed to improve their quality. An indicator of the fractal dimension of the image is used as a quantitative indicator for assessing the evolution of the microstructure of the surface metal layer. A quantitative assessment of the structures at different stress amplitudes is carried out in a wide range of low temperatures using the fractal dimension index. Correlation of the fractal dimension index with the run of the sample material is shown. The appearance of the main crack was observed in the range of 0.7 - 0.8 from the number of cycles to failure, after which the crack growth rate increased. At a lower temperature, the main crack is formed later, but further loading results in a higher crack growth rate. Formation of the secondary phases in austenitic steel at a lower temperature occurred at earlier stages than that at a temperature of t = +20°C, which led to hardening of the material. An artificial neural network (ANN) has been developed and trained for assessing structural changes in metal proceeding from the fractal dimensionality of the microstructure images at different stages of fatigue loading. The developed neural network made it possible to estimate with a sufficiently high accuracy the number of cycles before damage of the sample and the residual life of the material. Thus, the developed ANN can be used to assess the current state of the material in a wide range of low temperatures.

An intelligent system for predicting the fatigue strength of metals in a wide temperature range is developed using a specially trained neural network. The system makes it possible to predict the number of load cycles of a part to failure, as well as the start of formation and growth rate of fatigue cracks for different test conditions, including at low temperatures. Keywords: neural network, prediction of loading cycles, low temperatures, fatigue strength. [email protected]

In this study, a Monte Carlo method (MCM) was applied on the fatigue crack growth rate (FCGR) curves to evaluate a probabilistic assessment for the welded longitudinal Al 6013-T4 aluminum alloy under various post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) conditions. The welded CT specimens were manufactured by a tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, and the fatigue crack growth (FCG) tests were conducted by following ASTM E647. Before conducting the FCG test, the PWHT conditions were applied to the welded CT specimens under three different aging times of 6 h, 18 h, and 24 h at 175 C. The FCGR curves were generated from the FCG data and plotted on the da/dN versus Δk curves. The constants C and m were determined by drawing the fitting line on the FCGR curves. A sizeable random number was generated from the obtained constants by MCM. By plotting these constants, the probabilistic assessment of FCGR was determined on the da/dN versus Δk curves. The results showed that the confidence interval was appeared on the FCGR curves and limited by the upper and lower probabilistic lines. It was found that the lower and upper probabilistic lines were formed at 1 % and 90 %, respectively.

ABSTRACT The 11-kb sequence encompassing the alkylbenzene upper pathway inPseudomonas putida 01G3, a psychrotrophic strain able to degrade alkylbenzenes at low temperatures, was characterized. Together with a potential regulator (EbdR), six putative enzymes (EbdAaAbAcAdBC) were identified, and they exhibited highly significant similarities with enzymes implicated in the equivalent pathway in P. putida RE204. ebd genes appeared to be preferentially induced by ethylbenzene. Multiple-alignment data and growth rate measurements led us to classify 01G3 and closely related strains in two groups with distinct substrate specificities. Close to identified genes, remnants of IS5-like elements provided insight into the evolution of catabolic sequences through rearrangements from a less complex ancestral cluster.

Enallagma boreale (Selys), a summer species, and Leucorrhinia glacialis (Hagen) and Libellula quadrimaculata (Linné), both spring species, were reared at various temperatures and photoperiods.E. boreale developed fastest at all temperatures, supporting my hypothesis that summer species have higher thermal coefficients for growth than spring species, but refuting my hypothesis that spring species grow faster at low temperatures.Photoperiod affected the development rate of L. glacialis and L. quadrimaculata at low temperatures, but did not affect E. boreal at any temperature, supporting my hypothesis that spring species are most likely to use photoperiod in regulating development. The striking growth-rate responses of the spring species to photoperiod at low temperatures suggest photoperiod is important in regulating development in temperate regions.
