Abstract: High-throughput sequencing was used to analyze the microbial communities in the muscle samples of hairtail fish to study their diversity and dynamic changes during cold-chain circulation. The results showed that the richness and diversity of the microbial community in hairtail fish had a transient decline in 0–24 h and decreased after the first rise during 24–216 h. The diversity and richness of bacteria in cold-chain hairtail fish reached the maximum at 168 h. The Shannon and Simpson diversity indices of the bacteria were 2.96 and 0.16, respectively, and their ACE and Chao1 richness indices were 254.84 and 155.10, respectively. In addition, the dominant bacteria were Proteobacteria in the phylum level, Gammaproteobacteria in the class level, Pseudomonadales in the order level, Pseudomonadaceae in the family level, and Pseudomonas in the genus level, and their relative abundance were 80.52%, 72.11%, 76.68%, 23.25%, and 53.50%, respectively. In this study, the structure of bacterial flora and the dominant bacteria in cold-chain hairtail fish were analyzed by high-throughput sequencing to provide a basis for exploring how to maintain the freshness of hairtail fish and for predicting the shelf-life of hairtail fish.

To address the need for new smart materials, this paper explores the use of carbon nanotubes to develop a nanocomposite smart material having electrochemical impedance properties for sensing and actuation. Fabrication and characterization of the carbon nanocomposite material are discussed in the paper. The issues related to hurdles in the practical manufacturing of commodity level macro size nanocomposite smart materials with prescribed electrical and electrochemical properties are also discussed.

AbstractSynthesis of Pb(Ti,Zr)O3 (PZT) coatings onto glass microspheres was demonstrated using solgel techniques. Characterization of the coatings was performed using XRD and SEM to demonstrate that piezoelectric PZT coating are possible. This study represents an initial feasibility study into the manufacture of so-called “smart” material fabrication utilizing different geometries.

Temperature-sensitive products are often shipped in an insulated container with a coolant to maintain the interior temperature at a certain temperature threshold. In this study, the performance of two popular coolants, gel and ice, were compared using trendline data. Comparison using collected data on some cases were made so that phase changes could be observed, which was explained by a study of gel latent heat of fusion that was also performed. The amount of 2.09, 4.19, and 6.28 pounds of each coolant were placed in a 12x12x11.5” expanded polystyrene insulated foam container with a 2-inch wall thickness. In each case, the sealed container was put in a chamber with temperatures of 60-, 90-, and 113-degrees Fahrenheit. Overall, the gel coolant performance was slightly better than the ice coolant.
