The magnetic properties of Pd2SnYb, PdSnYb and PdSn2Yb are obtained by the geometry optimization combining with spin polarization. And the stability of these three kinds of materials is ensured by comparing with the enthalpy of formation and binding energy. The Fermi energy has same trend with stability. The details of bulk and Young’s modulus are demonstrated in 3D plots, embodied the elastic anisotropies of PdSnYb, PdSn2Yb, and Pd2SnYb. The calculations of plastic properties are also anisotropic. And the minimum thermal conductivities are small enough for these three materials to be used as thermal barrier coatings.展开更多

However, little is known how catalase activity is regulated especially at an organelle level. In this study, we identified that small heat shock protein Hsp17.6CⅡ(AT5G12020) interacts with and activates catalases in the peroxisome of Arabidopsis thaliana. Although Hsp17.6CⅡ is classified into the cytosol-located small heat shock protein subfamily, we found that Hsp17.6CⅡ is located in the peroxisome. Moreover, Hsp17.6CⅡ contains a novel non-canonical peroxisome targeting signal 1(PTS1), QKL, 16 amino acids upstream from the C-terminus. The QKL signal peptide can partially locate GFP to peroxisome, and mutations in the tripeptide lead to the abolishment of this activity. In vitro catalase activity assay and holdase activity assay showed that Hsp17.6CⅡ increases CAT2 activity and prevents it from thermal aggregation. These results indicate that Hsp17.6CⅡ is a peroxisome-localized catalase chaperone. Overexpression of Hsp17.6CⅡ conferred enhanced catalase activity and tolerance to abiotic stresses in Arabidopsis. Interestingly, overexpression of Hsp17.6CⅡ in catalase-deficient mutants,nca1-3 and cat2 cat3, failed to rescue their stress-sensitive phenotypes and catalase activity, suggesting that Hsp17.6CⅡ-mediated stress response is dependent on NCA1 and catalase activity. Overall, we identified a novel peroxisome-located catalase chaperone that is involved in plant abiotic stress resistance by activating catalase activity.展开更多

The SDC and BCY powders were mixed in the weight ratio of 95:5, 85:15, and 75:25, respectively(named as BS95, BS85, and BS75). Because of the composite effect between the SDC and BCY phases, the BS95 and BS85 exhibit improved conductivity compared with the pure SDC and BCY. The conductivity of BS95 is higher than that of BS85, indicating that the composite effect of BS95 is greater than that of BS85. Nevertheless, the composite effect in BS75 does not exist. Hence, we conclude that the composite effect in the BCY-SDC composites will decrease with the increase of the amount of BCY and even disappear when the amount of BCY exceeds a certain value. In our case, the optimum composition of the composite electrolyte is 95 wt% SDC and 5 wt% BCY. The BS95 has the highest conductivity(σ1t=0.07808 S cm-1, at 800 °C) and the fuel cell based on the BS95 shows the best performance(the maximum power density reaches as high as 526 mw cm-2 at 750 °C). The encouraging results suggest that the BCY-SDC composites are the very promising electrolyte materials for IT-SOFCs.展开更多
