Piezoresistant probe for measurement of velocity in one-dimensional incompressible flow

Radeći na problemu kalibracije sondi sa zagrejanim vlaknima u okviru rada [3], javila se potreba za sondom kojom se može meriti trenutna brzina u jednodimenzijskom vazdušnom mlazu. Ubrzo potom na Mašinskom fakultetu u Beogradu je razrađena ideja o prvoj domaćoj piezorezistivnoj sondi kojom se meri trenutni diferencijalni pritisak. Sonda je realizovana u saradnji sa IHTM, Centrom za mikroelektronske tehnologije i monokristale. Probna ispitivanja su pokazala da se sonda može uspešno koristiti za merenje trenutne brzine jednodimenzijskog nestišljivog strujanja. U tom smislu je posle prvenac sonde napravljeno još nekoliko sličnih sondi. U radu su dati osnovni elementi tehnološkog postupka za dobijanje senzora pritiska. Pored detaljnog opisa senzorskog čipa ovde su prikazani i drugi elementi sonde JR-p. Pre svakog merenja sondom ona mora da se baždari. Sonda JR-p se baždari statički i u kvazistacionarnom vazdušnom mlazu. Ovde su prikazani rezultati jednog takvog baždarenja.Working on the problem of calibration of hot wire probes within (3), we came to the need to have a probe for measuring the instantaneous velocity in a one-dimensional air jet. Soon after the idea concerned with the first domestic piezoresistant probe by means of which the instantaneous differential pressure can be measured was developed on the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. The probe was realized in the collaboration with IHTM, the Center for microelectronic technology and monocrystals. First tests with the probe showed that it could be successfully used for measuring the instantaneous velocity in one-dimensional incompressible flows. In that sense, some more similar probes were produced after the pioneering one. In this paper the basic elements of the technological procedure for the production of the pressure sensor are given. In addition to a detailed description of the sensor chip we show here some other elements of the probe JR-p also. Before any use the probe must be calibrated. The probe JR-p is calibrated statically in a quasi-steady air jet. The results of such a calibration are presented here

Stabilizacija α-glukozidaze u organskim rastvaračima imobilizacijom na makroporoznim (poli) glicidil metakrilatima različitih površinskih karakteristika

alpha-Glucosidase from baker's yeast was immobilized on macroporous copolymers of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate and glycidyl methacrylate, poly(GMA-co-EGDMA), with various surface characteristics and pore sizes ranging from 44 nm to 270 nm. Immobilization was done by glutaraldehyde on the copolymer previously modified with 1,2-diaminoethane. The specific activity of the obtained immobilized enzyme varied from 27 to 81 U/g depending on the employed copolymer. The half lives of the immobilized enzyme in cosolvents were influenced by the surface characteristics of the copolymer, ranging from 60 to 150 min in 35 % methanol and from 10 to 44 min in 45 % dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO). The best stabilities were obtained when the enzyme was immobilized onto a copolymer having a pore size of 48 rim in methanol and 270 nm in DMSO.α-Glukozidaza izolovana iz pekarskog kvasca je imobilizovana na makroporoznim glicidil-metakrilatima različitih površinskih karakteristika i veličina pora od 44 do 270 nm. Imobilizacija je izvedena glutaraldehidom na polimeru prethodno modifikovanom sa 1,2-diaminoetanom. Specifična aktivnost dobijenog imobilizovanog enzima je varirala od 27 do 81U/g u zavisnosti od vrste korišćenog polimera. Poluživoti imobilizovanog enzima u korastvaračima su zavisili od površinskih karakteristika polimera i kretali su se u opsegu od 60 do 150 min u 35%(v/v) metanolu i od 10 do 44 min u 45 % (v/v) dimetilsufoksidu. Najveća stabilnost u metanolu je dobijena imobilizacijom enzima na polimeru sa veličinom pora od 48 nm a u dimetilsulfoksidu na polimeru sa veličinom pora od 270 nm

A binary engine fuelling HD87643' s complex circumstellar environment, using AMBER/VLTI

International audienceContext. The star HD 87643, exhibiting the “B[e] phenomenon”, has one of the most extreme infrared excesses for this object class. It harbours a large amount of both hot and cold dust, and is surrounded by an extended reflection nebula. Aims. One of our major goals was to investigate the presence of a companion in HD87643. In addition, the presence of close dusty material was tested through a combination of multi-wavelength high spatial resolution observations. Methods. We observed HD 87643 with high spatial resolution techniques, using the near-IR AMBER/VLTI interferometer with baselines ranging from 60 m to 130 m and the mid-IR MIDI/VLTI interferometer with baselines ranging from 25 m to 65 m. These observations are complemented by NACO/VLT adaptive-optics-corrected images in the K and L-bands, ESO-2.2m optical Wide-Field Imager large-scale images in the B, V and R-bands, Results. We report the direct detection of a companion to HD 87643 by means of image synthesis using the AMBER/VLTI instrument. The presence of the companion is confirmed by the MIDI and NACO data, although with a lower confidence. The companion is separated by ∼ 34 mas with a roughly north-south orientation. The period must be large (several tens of years) and hence the orbital parameters are not determined yet. Binarity with high eccentricity might be the key to interpreting the extreme characteristics of this system, namely a dusty circumstellar envelope around the primary, a compact dust nebulosity around the binary system and a complex extended nebula witnessing past violent ejections

An asymmetry detected in the disk of Kappa CMa with the AMBER/VLTI

International audienceAims. We study the geometry and kinematics of the circumstellar environment of the Be star Kappa CMa in the Br gamma emission line and its nearby continuum. Methods. We use the VLTI/AMBER instrument operating in the K band which provides a spatial resolution of about 6 mas with a spectral resolution of 1500 to study the kinematics within the disk and to infer its rotation law. In order to obtain more kinematical constraints we also use an high spectral resolution Pa beta line profile obtain in December 2005 at the Observatorio do Pico do Dios, Brazil and we compile V/R line profile variations and spectral energy distribution data points from the literature. Results. Using differential visibilities and differential phases across the Br gamma line we detect an asymmetry in the disk. Moreover, we found that kappa CMa seems difficult to fit within the classical scenario for Be stars, illustrated recently by alpha Arae observations, i.e. a fast rotating B star close to its breakup velocity surrounded by a Keplerian circumstellar disk with an enhanced polar wind. Finally we discuss the possibility for kappa CMa to be a critical rotator with a Keplerian rotating disk and try to see if the detected asymmetry can be interpreted within the "one-armed" viscous disk framework

Activity and stability of soluble and immobilized alpha-glucosidase from baker's yeast in cosolvent systems

The activity of alpha-glucosidase from baker's yeast was determined in various concentrations of dioxan, tetrahydrofuran, tert-butanol, dimethylformamide, methanol and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). Higher activities were observed with sucrose than with nitrophenylglucoside as substrate in cosolvent mixtures. In 30% (v/v) DMSO, 25% of the activity obtained in pure water was detected, and in 30% (v/v) methanol 12.5% of the activity in pure water was detected, while in other cosolvents there was almost no activity under these conditions. alpha-glucosidase was immobilized onto a macroporous copolymer of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate and glycidyl methacrylate, poly(GMA-co-EGDMA), by the glutaraldehyde method. By immobilization, the half-life of the enzyme in 35% (v/v) methanol was increased from 6 to 60min and from 4 to 15min in 45% (v/v) DMSO. The activity of the immobilized enzyme in 30% (v/v) DMSO and 30% (v/v) methanol was 22% and 18% of the activity in pure water, respectively
