Authors: Xupin Zhuang a,b , Lei Shi a , Kaifei Jia a , Bowen Cheng b,n , Weimin Kang
Abstract: Nanofibrous membranes have been paid attention in microfiltration. Solution blowing process is a new nanofiber fabricating method with high productivity. In this study, polyvinylidene fiuoride (PVDF) nanofibrous mat was successfully solution blown using a multiorifices die. The fibers were mostly 60 280 nm in diameter and three-dimensional curly which resulted in a loose construction with high porosity of 95.8%. The nanofibrous mat was further hot-pressed to increase its integrality. The structure and microfiltration performance was evaluated. The results showed the crystallinity of the membranes increased, the porosity and pore size decreased after hot-pressing treatment. The hot-pressed membranes showed high retention ratio against microparticles and high pure water fiux which will help the solution blown membrane find application in high fiux microfiltration.

Title: A method for the coating of a polymer inclusion membrane with a monolayer of silver nanoparticles
Authors: Ya Ya N Bonggotgetsakul, Robert W Cattrall, Spas D Kolev
Abstract: The preparation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) is described using a polymer inclusion membrane (PIM) consisting of 45% (m/m) di-(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) and 55% (m/m) poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) as a template. The Ag(I) ion was ?rstly extracted into the membrane via cation-exchange and then subsequently reduced with NaBH , trisodium citrate, citric acid, or L-ascorbic acid to form AgNPs. The most effective reducing agent was found to be L-ascorbic acid which at pH 2.0 formed a uniform monolayer of AgNPs of an average size of 360 nm on the surface of the PIM. Citric acid also produced AgNPs but these were embedded in the bulk of the membrane and did not provide a good surface coverage. NaBH and trisodium citrate, on the other hand, gave rise to the formation of black silver oxide on the membrane surface. Factors such as the membrane loading with Ag(I), PIM composition, reduction time, temperature and shaking time were found to have a significant influence on the surface coverage and size of the AgNPs.

Title: DNA extraction method with improved efficiency and specificity using DNA methyltransferase and click chemistry
Authors: Alexander B Artyukhin , YounHi Woo
Abstract: In an attempt to develop an alternative method to extract DNA from complex samples with much improved sensitivity and efficiency, here we report a proof-of-concept work for a new DNA extraction method using DNA methyltransferase (Mtase) and click chemistry. According to our preliminary data, the method has improved the current methods by (i) employing a DNA-specific enzyme, TaqI DNA Mtase, for improved selectivity, and by (ii) capturing the DNA through covalent bond to the functionalized surface, enabling a broad range of treatments yielding the final sample DNA with minimal loss and higher purity such that it will be highly compatible with downstream analyses. By employing Mtase, a highly DNA specific and efficient enzyme, and click chemistry, we demonstrated that as little as 0.1 fg of k-DNA (close to copy number 1) was captured on silica (Si)-based beads by forming a covalent bond between an azide group on the surface and the propargyl moiety on the DNA. This method holds promise in versatile applications where extraction of minute amounts of DNA plays critical roles such as basic and applied molecular biology research, bioforensic and biosecurity sciences, and state-of-the-art detection methods.

Title: Business Process based Initial Modeling at Software Development
Authors: J Tick
Abstract: The fundamental problem of high-level quality software development is the elaboration of well-designed and correct model of the developing system. The most critical phase is the “birth” of the model, the specification of the initial model. This paper describes the method to use the already existing Business Process Model to set up the initial model for the software to be developed. Especially Business Process Management systems can be well described by business processes using workflow. This paper makes recommendations how to incorporate workflow in the development process. The basic principle of the method to elaborate the initial model is that using the usually already existing workflow an UML action diagram can be worked out with the help of mapping that can be a useful additional source for further development processes.

Title: Traffic Information Based Power Saving Mechanism
Authors: Ju No Han, Seong Gon Choi
Abstract: This paper proposes the standby power saving mechanism that the user can terminate home network appliance (Le. Personal Computer) power and standby power at the remote site. Generally, for the power management of the home appliance, it has to be put through the physical contact. In the proposed mechanism, the smartphone is offered the power on/off state information of the home network appliance on a real-time basis. The user can transmit the power-termination order to the home network appliance through the smartphone. If the home gateway receives the power-termination order from the smartphone, the power-termination order is sent to the home network appliance and the standby power is blocked. Its power and standby power can be blocked through the method to be proposed even through the user is not physically contacted with the home appliance. That is, the proposed mechanism gives convenience to the user in electric power management aspect. In addition, the power saving can be done, because reducing the unnecessary operation time and blocking the standby power of the home network appliance.
