Under the optimize conditions, the results of counter-current extraction showed the mixed extraction system was the preponderance on the lithium extraction. Especially the separation of lithium in organic phase and aqueous phase and the separation mass ratio of Mg/Li increased greatly. An extraction mechanism was proposed based on the analysis of FT-IR spectra and Raman spectra.展开更多

The support was first loaded with NiO by impregnating method and then modified with ZrO2 by deposition-precipitation method (IM-DP). Nitrogen adsorption- desorption, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, thermogravimetdc analysis, H2 temperature- programmed reduction and desorption, NH3 temperature-programmed desorption, and zeta potential analysis were employed to characterize the samples. The results revealed that, compared with the catalysts with the same composition prepared by co-impregnation (CI) and sequential impregnation (SI) methods, the Ni/A1203 catalyst prepared by IM-DP showed much enhanced catalytic performance for syngas methanation under the condition of atmospheric pressure and a high weight hourly space velocity of 120000 mL.g-1 .h-1. In a 80 h life time test under the condition of 300-600 ~C and 3.0 MPa, this catalyst showed high stability and resistance to coking, and the amount of deposited carbon was only 0.4 wt%. On the contrary, the deposited carbon over the catalyst without ZrO2 reached 1.5 wt% after a 60 h life time test. The improved catalytic performance was attributed to the selective deposition of ZrO2 nanoparticles on the surface of NiO rather than A1203, which could he well controlled via changing the electrostatic interaction in the DP procedure. This unique structure could enhance the dissociation of CO2 and generate surface oxygen intermediates, thus preventing carbon deposition on the Ni particles in syngas methanation.展开更多

This study aimed to establish a method of isolation, culture and identification of myoblasts in duck embryos. [Method] Pectoral and leg muscle samples were isolated from the embryos of Gaoyou duck at 13 d of hatching, then disassociated with collagenase and trypsin and purified via differential adhesion. The isolated cells were cultured in vitro and detected for the expression of Pax7 protein using immunofluorescence technique. [Result] Myoblasts were obtained successfully both from pectoral and leg muscles in duck embryos and these cells proliferated strongly and differentiated well. Immunofluorescence staining showed that more than 95% cells could express Pax7 protein. [Conclusion] In summary, we report the successful establishment of a complete system for the isolation, purification, identification and culture of myoblasts from duck embryos.展开更多

文摘Fiber supercapacitor(FSC)is a promising power source for wearable/stretchable electronics and high capacitive performance of FSCs is highly desirable for practice flexible applications.Here,we report a composite of manganese dioxide(Mn O_2)and activated carbon fibers(ACFs)with high MnO_2mass loading and microporous structure(abbreviated as Mn O_2@ACF),which is used as a fiber electrode to produce a FSC with a high capacitive performance and a good flexibility.The MnO_2@ACF composite electrode in FSCs delivers an ultrahigh specific capacitance of 410 mF/cm^2at 0.1 mA/cm^2,corresponding to a high energy density of 36μWh/cm^2and high power density of 726μW/cm^2.Such high capacitive performance and simple fabrication method indicates that the Mn O_2@ACF composite is a very promising electrode material for flexible fiber supercapacitors.

文摘Highly coke-resisting ZrO2-decorated Ni/A1203 catalysts for CO methanation were prepared by a two-step process. The support was first loaded with NiO by impregnating method and then modified with ZrO2 by deposition-precipitation method (IM-DP). Nitrogen adsorption- desorption, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, thermogravimetdc analysis, H2 temperature- programmed reduction and desorption, NH3 temperature-programmed desorption, and zeta potential analysis were employed to characterize the samples. The results revealed that, compared with the catalysts with the same composition prepared by co-impregnation (CI) and sequential impregnation (SI) methods, the Ni/A1203 catalyst prepared by IM-DP showed much enhanced catalytic performance for syngas methanation under the condition of atmospheric pressure and a high weight hourly space velocity of 120000 mL.g-1 .h-1. In a 80 h life time test under the condition of 300-600 ~C and 3.0 MPa, this catalyst showed high stability and resistance to coking, and the amount of deposited carbon was only 0.4 wt%. On the contrary, the deposited carbon over the catalyst without ZrO2 reached 1.5 wt% after a 60 h life time test. The improved catalytic performance was attributed to the selective deposition of ZrO2 nanoparticles on the surface of NiO rather than A1203, which could he well controlled via changing the electrostatic interaction in the DP procedure. This unique structure could enhance the dissociation of CO2 and generate surface oxygen intermediates, thus preventing carbon deposition on the Ni particles in syngas methanation.

文摘The TaGS3 homoeologous genes(homoeologs)located on chromosomes 7 A,4 A,and7 D in hexaploid wheat were cloned.Relative expression analysis of the three Ta GS3 homoeologs revealed that the expression levels of TaGS3-4 A and TaGS3-7 D in developing grains were higher than that of TaGS3-7 A.Genetic evidence showed that Ta GS3 was a negative regulator of grain weight and grain size.Fifteen polymorphic sites and five haplotypes were detected in TaGS3-4 A.Two molecular markers were developed to distinguish the five haplotypes.Association analysis using 260 accessions from Chinese wheat mini-core collection(MCC)indicated that TaGS3-4 A affected thousand grain weight(TGW)and grain length(GL).HAP-4 A-1 and HAP-4 A-2 were favorable haplotypes that increased TGW and GL and had undergone strong selection during domestication of wheat.In addition,interaction of the TaGS3-4 A and TaGS3-7 D homoeologs had significant additive effects on the grain traits.Hap-4 A-1/Hap-7 D-2 was the best haplotype combination in increasing TGW and GL.The frequencies and geographic distributions of favorable TaGS3 haplotypes among 1388 wheat accessions from worldwide sources provided clues for selection of yield-related traits.Our findings demonstrated that TaGS3-4 A had significant effects on TGW and GL.Marker-assisted selection of HAP-4 A-1/2 combined with HAP-7 D-2 has potential to increase wheat yields.

文摘Generating different types of defects in heterogeneous catalysts for synergetic promotion of the reactivity and selectivity in catalytic reactions is highly challenging due to the lack of effective theoretical guidance.Herein,we demonstrate a facile strategy to introduce two types of defects into the CuO-ZnO model catalyst,namely oxygen vacancies(OVs)induced by H2 partial reduction and localized amorphous regions(LARs)generated via the ball milling process.Using industrially important Rochow–Müller reaction as a representative,we found OVs predominantly improved the target product selectivity of dimethyldichlorosilane,while LARs significantly increased the conversion of reactant Si.The CuO-ZnO catalyst with optimized OVs and LARs contents achieved the best catalytic property.Theoretical calculation further revealed that LARs promote the generation of the Cu3Si active phase,and OVs impact the electronic structure of the Cu3Si active phase.This work provides a new understanding of the roles of different catalyst defects and a feasible way of engineering the catalyst structure for better catalytic performances.

文摘Dear Editor,To date,the effect of colorectal cancer(CRC)-derived extracellular vesicles(EVs)on liver pre-metastatic niche(PMN)remain incompletely understood.1 To investigate the role of CRC-derived EVs in the remodeling of the liver PMN,we isolated EVs from CT26 cell culture supernatant.The characteristics of EVs(the morphology,size,and markers)were identified by transmission electron microscopy(TEM),Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis(NTA),and western blotting(Supplementary Fig.S1a–e).Then,BALB/c mice with an intact liver immune status were pretreated with CRCderived EVs and phosphate-buffered saline(PBS)for one month,and a liver metastasis model was established via spleen injection of tumor cells to determine whether EVs influence liver metastasis(Fig.1a).Two hours after the operation,in vivo imaging indicated that the animal model was successfully established,and the tumor fluorescence intensity in the liver was consistent between the two groups(Supplementary Fig.S2a,b).Amazingly,the liver tumor fluorescence intensity in the EVs group was significantly stronger than that in the PBS group after 24 h(Fig.1b;Supplementary Fig.S2c,d).The number of liver tumor nodules in the EVs group was also significantly higher than that in the PBS group on day 4(Fig.1c;Supplementary Fig.S2e,f).

文摘Objective:Corydalis bungeana(CB)is a well-used medicinal herb in Mongolian folk medicine and has been traditionally applied as an antiobesity agent.However,the evidence-based pharmacological effects of CB and its specific metabolic alterations in the obese model are not entirely understood.This study aimed to utilize untargeted metabolomic techniques to identify biomarkers and gain mechanistic insight into the serum metabolite alterations associated with weight loss and lipid metabolism in obese rats.Methods:A high-fat high-sugar(HFHS)diet was used to induce obese models in rats.CB extract was orally gavaged at 0.18,0.9 and 1.8 g/kg doses for six weeks,and feed intake,body weight,fat pad weight,and blood indexes were measured.Blood serum metabolites were evaluated by gas chromatography/quadrupole time-of-fight tandem mass spectrometry(GC-TOF/MS).Results:The results showed that compared with the obese group,the administration of CB extract caused significant decreases in body weight(P<0.05),feed intake,Lee’s index,and perirenal,mesenteric,epididymal fat weight.CB extract also reduced blood triglyceride and total cholesterol levels(P<0.05)of obese rats.Metabolomic findings showed that nine differential metabolites,including pyruvic acid,D-glucuronic acid,malic acid,dimethylglycine,oxoglutaric acid,pantothenic acid,sorbitol acid,fumaric acid and glucose 6-phosphate were identified under CB treatment and altered metabolic pathways such as TCA cycle,pantothenate and CoA biosynthesis,and glycolysis/gluconeogenesis.Conclusion:This study demonstrated weight loss and lipid lowering effects of CB on HFHS diet-induced obese rats and identified nine metabolites as potential biomarkers for evaluating the favorable therapeutic mechanism of CB via regulation of lipid and glucose metabolism.

文摘In this paper, we put forward a weak blind quantum signature scheme based on quantum entanglement swapping of Bell states. Different from the existing quantum signature schemes, our scheme can offer two-step verification security services to ensure the validity of the verification. In order to guarantee the unconditional security of the scheme, the quantum key distribution protocol and one-time pad encryption algorithm are employed in our scheme. Besides, the entanglement swapping of Bell states mechanism enhances the security of verification criteria. The proposed scheme has the properties of nonforgeability, nonrepudiation, lindness,and traceability.

文摘锂离子电容器(LICs)是一种很有前途的储能装置,因为它们同时具有锂离子电池的高能量密度和超级电容器的高功率密度的特点.然而,由于锂离子电容器中阳极和阴极之间电化学反应动力学的不匹配使得探索具有快速离子扩散和电子转移通道的阳极材料面临挑战.在此,通过静电纺丝策略将具有可控末端基团的二维Ti_(3)C_(2)MXene引入一维碳纳米纤维中,形成三维导电网络.在这种Ti_(3)C_(2)MXene和碳基复合材料(称为KTi-400@CNFs)中,二维纳米片结构赋予了Ti_(3)C_(2)MXene更多Li+存储活性位点,而碳骨架则有利于提高复合材料的导电性.更值得一提的是,在Ti_(3)C_(2)MXene和碳骨架的界面上形成了Ti–O–C键.复合材料中的这种化学键为电子的快速传输和离子在层与层之间纵向的快速扩散建立了桥梁.因此,优化后的KTi-400@CNFs复合材料在电流密度为5 A g-1的情况下,500次循环后仍保持235 mA h g-1的良好容量.由KTi-400@CNFs//AC组成的锂离子电容器实现了高能量密度(114.3 W h kg-1)和高功率密度(12.8 kW kg-1).KTi-400@CNFs的这种独特结构和优异的电化学性能为二维材料制备提供了参考.

文摘Starch is the most abundant substance in wheat(Triticum aestivum L.)endosperm and provides the major carbohydrate energy for human daily life.Starch synthesis-related(SSR)genes are believed to be spatiotemporally specific,but their transcriptional regulation remains unclear in wheat.Here,we investigate the role of the basic helix-loop-helix(bHLH)transcription factor TabHLH95 in starch synthesis.TabHLH95 is preferentially expressed in the developing grains in wheat and encodes a nucleus localized protein without autoactivation activity.The Tabhlh95 knockout mutants display smaller grain size and less starch content than wild type,whereas overexpression of TabHLH95 enhances starch accumulation and significantly improves thousand grain weight.Transcriptome analysis reveals that the expression of multiple SSR genes is significantly reduced in the Tabhlh95 mutants.TabHLH95 binds to the promoters of ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase large subunit 1(AGPL1-1D/-1B),AGPL2-5D,and isoamylase(ISA1-7D)and enhances their transcription.Intriguingly,TabHLH95 interacts with the nuclear factor Y(NF-Y)family transcription factor TaNF-YB1,thereby synergistically regulating starch synthesis.These results suggest that the TabHLH95-TaNF-YB1 complex positively modulates starch synthesis and grain weight by regulating the expression of a subset of SSR genes,thus providing a good potential approach for genetic improvement of grain productivity in wheat.
