The results showed that 4 embryos had sex chromosomal mosaicism (19%) and the remaining 17 showed uniformly XX or XY signals in all blastomeres. In conclusion, identification of sex by dual color FISH analysis of a single cell was accurate and efficient , and sex chromosomal mosaicism would not affect preimplantation gender diagnosis.展开更多

X-ray diffraction and scanning electronic micrograph were used to characterize the resultant samples, whose particle size are in the range of micrometer. The emission spectra of Zn_3(PO_4)_2∶Eu 3+ (λ_ ex=245 nm) and LaPO_4∶Eu 3+ (λ_ ex=390 nm) shows that the emission for Eu 3+ in Zn_3(PO_4)_2 is dominated by the 5D_0→7F_1 (592 nm) magnetic-dipole transition,While the dominant emission for Eu 3+ in LaPO_4 is the typical hypersensitive transition 5D_0→7F_2 (618 nm).展开更多
In-situ growth of CdS nanorods (NRs) has been demonstrated via solvothermal, in a low band gap polymer, poly [[4,8-bis[(2-ethylhexyl)oxy] benzo [1,2-b:4,5-b’] dithiophene-2,6-diyl] [3-fluoro-2-[(2-ethylhexyl) carbony...In-situ growth of CdS nanorods (NRs) has been demonstrated via solvothermal, in a low band gap polymer, poly [[4,8-bis[(2-ethylhexyl)oxy] benzo [1,2-b:4,5-b’] dithiophene-2,6-diyl] [3-fluoro-2-[(2-ethylhexyl) carbonyl] thieno [3,4-b] thiophenediyl]] (PTB7). It is a high yielding, green approach as it removes use of volatile and hazardous chemicals such as pyridine as ligand which are conventionally used to synthesize precursors of CdS (NRs). Moreover the solvothermal process is a zero emission process being a close vessel synthesis and hence no material leaching into the atmosphere during the synthesis. The PTB7:CdS nanocomposite has been characterized by SEM, XRD, FTIR, UV-visible spectroscopy techniques. The photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy study of PTB7 with CdS NRs has shown significant PL quenching by the incorporation of CdS NRs in PTB7;this shows that CdS NRs are efficient electron acceptors with the PTB7. The PTB7:CdS is used as active layer in the fabrication of hybrid solar cells (HSC) as donor-acceptor combination in the bulk heterojunction (BHJ) geometry. The HSCs fabricated using this active layer without any additional supporting fullerene based electron acceptor has given power conversion efficiency of above 1%.展开更多

No substitutions and disomic additions were detected in the hybrids and breakages occurred in all P. juncea chromosomes studied.

So far, some strategies including designing nanostructures, incorporating conductive support or foreign elements have been adopted to develop efficient electrocat- alysts. Herein, we summarize recent progresses and propose in-situ electrochemical activation as a new pretreating technique for enhanced catalytic performances. The activation techniques mainly comprise facile electrochemical processes such as anodic oxidation, cathodic reduction, etching, lithium-assisted tuning and counter electrode electro-dissolution. During these electrochemicaI treatments, the catalyst surfaces are modified from bulk phase, which can tune local electronic structures, create more active spe- cies. enlarge surface area and thus improve the catalytic performances. Meanwhile, this technique can couple the atomic, electronic structures with electrocatalysis mechanisms for water splitting. Compared to traditional chemical treatment, the in-situ electrochemical activation techniques have superior advantages such as facile operation, mild environment, variable control, high efficiency and flex- ibility. This review may provide guidance for improving water electrolysis efficiencies and hold promis- ing for application in many other energy-conversion fields such as supercapacitors, fuel cells and batteries.展开更多
