Agitator is one of the essential factors to realize high efficient fermentation for high aerobic and viscous microorganisms, and the influence of different impeller combination on the fermentation process is very important. Welan gum is a microbial exopolysaccharide produced by Alcaligenes sp. under high aerobic and high viscos conditions. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) numerical simulation was used for analyzing the distribution of velocity, shear rate and gas holdup in the welan fermentation reactor under six different impeller combinations. The best three combinations of impellers were applied to the fermentation of welan. By analyzing the fermentation performance, the MB-4-6 combination had better effect on dissolved oxygen and velocity. The content of welan was increased by 13%. Furthermore, the viscosity of production were also increased.

Objective:To explore the mediating roles of rumination and avoidance coping between information anxiety and suicidal ideation.Methods:In March 2022, a total of 896 college students were surveyed by the information anxiety scale(IAS), ruminative responses scale(RRS), coping style questionnaire(CSQ)and self-rating idea of suicidal ideation scale(SIOSS). The ANOVA analysis, Pearson correlation analysis and mediating effect analysis were performed by the SPSS 22.0 software.Results:The detection rate of suicidal ideation among college students was 9.15%(82/896). The information anxiety score was(73.84±17.29), the rumination score was(47.73±12.16), the avoidance coping score was(3.76±2.52), and the suicidal ideation score was(5.41±4.09). Information anxiety was significantly positively correlated with rumination, avoidance coping and suicidal ideation( r=0.49, 0.36, 0.37, all P<0.05). Rumination was significantly positively correlated with avoidance coping and suicidal ideation( r=0.42, 0.59, both P<0.05). There was a significantly positive correlation between avoidance coping and suicidal ideation( r=0.45, P<0.05). Information anxiety affected suicidal ideation of college students through four paths.The direct effect value of information anxiety on suicidal ideation was 0.06, accounting for 16.67% of the total effect. The effect values of the separate mediating effect of rumination and avoid coping were 0.22 and 0.04, and accounting for 61.11% and 11.11% of the total effect respectively. The chain mediating effect value of rumination and avoid coping was 0.04, accounting for 11.11% of the total effect. Conclusion:Information anxiety can directly affect suicidal ideation of college students and indirectly affect suicidal ideation through rumination and avoidance coping.
