Induction of stigma-like structures in saffron (Crocus sativus L.): Exploring factors and metabolite analysis. by Parvaneh Mahmoudi, Ahmad Moieni, Mojtaba Khayam Nekouei, Mohsen Mardi, Ghasem Hosseini Salekdeh

“…The results indicated that the B5 medium, enriched with 5-10 mg/ L BAP and 5-10 mg/ L NAA was the most effective treatment for inducing SLSs in all types of explants. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of saffron compounds in SLSs indicated similarities with natural saffron, albeit at significant lower concentrations: crocin (up to 10.2 mg/g), picrocrocin (up to 4.8 mg/g), and safranal (up to 9.7 mg/g). …”

Reverse Design of Cycloid Tooth Profile Without Trapped Oil and Implementation Measures of Low Flow Ripple for Gear Pump by Yuncai Xia, Haibin Hao, Yin Mao

“…In order to solve the two structural problems of trapped oil and large flow ripple in gear pump and based on transmission advantages of cycloid gear and its forming principle，tooth number and radius factor of rolling circle which can best reflect pump performance are taken as structural parameters of cycloidal tooth profile，central angle，radius factor and pressure angle of addendum arc functional parameters of gear pump，a cycloid tooth profile with a contact ratio of 1 is constructed in a reverse way and the structural problem of large flow ripple of original single gear pair is solved by the construction of double gear pairs and minimization of ripple coefficient. All results show that the reverse design method of cycloidal tooth profile is simple and accurate，and can be directly used by general engineers； the contact ratio of a single gear pair is 1 to ensure that gear pump has no trapped oil phenomenon； the axial dislocation assembly of double gear pairs with special angle of π divided by tooth number is easy to be realized，and axial comprehensive contact ratio is 2 to ensure transmission stability of cycloidal gear pair； minimum number of teeth is 6 and there is no root cutting phenomenon； compared with single gear pair，an about 75% ripple improvement rate is seen in double gear pair and the optimal tooth profile parameters based on the minimization of ripple factor can be directly applied to the production practice，etc. …”
