To understand the effect of extraction field on plasma, the time-dependent behavior of negative hydrogen ion extraction from a negative ion source has been studied by particle-in-cell simulation in the collisionless limit. The simulations have shown that, due to the difference in dynamics between electrons and ions, the imbalance of the numbers of charged particles occurs in the source, results in the broadening of plasma sheath and the great increase of plasma potential. The resultant high sheath field and the ambipolar electric field in plasma make the negatively charged particles congregate inside the sheath and move toward the extraction outlet. The emission area of negative ions is much smaller than that of the extraction aperture, which is in sharp contrast to the case of positive ion extraction.展开更多

The determination of AA mainly by cation-exchange chromatography was also investigated. Reproducible and reliable techniques for quantification and identification of AA usually require derivatization. However, techniques such as AA analyzer are composed of cation-exchange chromatography and other components can sideline the derivatization with significant accuracy. The present analysis revealed a higher concentration of essential amino acids especially acidic AA, Glu and Asp and basic AA, Arg than other AA in macadamia protein. The study constitutes first report of use of bubble chart for evaluation of AA and explaination of AAS. The results may elaborate that the degradation of AA of macadamia protein for extraction of pH 11 is caused by the impact of pH. Moreover, the nutritional values of AA present in macadamia protein could change for the better by adjusting pH of extraction.展开更多

However, their mechanism of action remains unclear. In this study, the effects ofdestruxins on changes in free calcium and hydrogen ions in the hemocytes ofExolontha serrulata, Bombyx mori and the Spodoptera litura SL1 cell line were detected using laser scanning confocal mi croscopy (LSCM). An instant Ca2+ influx of hemocytes induced by destruxins A and B (DA and DB) was recorded. The DA/DBdependent Ca2+ influx was not influenced by the Ca2+ channel inhibitors 2aminoethoxydiphenyl borane (2APB) and U73122. It also had an apparently different LSCM profile from that of the ionomycindependent Ca2+ influx. However, the instant Ca2+ influx was not seen in the SL1 cells; on the contrary, a slow, moderate enhancement of intracellular Ca2+ was observed. Meanwhile, an instant intracellular free H+ decrease aroused by DA and DB was found. DB at 20/zmol/L and DA at 690/zmol/L significantly reduced intracellular free H+ levels. Furthermore, the vacuolar H+ATPase (VATPase) inhibitor bafilomycin A1 had obvious effects on the decreases ofintracellular free H+ in hemocytes. These results suggest that the mechanism of DA/DBdependent Ca2+ influx is perhaps not related to Ca2+ channels and ionophores; rather, the intracellular free H+ decrease might be due to VATPase inhibition.展开更多

The validity of the two-state model is carefully examined by comparing the harmonic spectra of hydrogen molecular ion obtained from this model with those from the three-dimensional time-dependent Schr¨odinger equation. When combined with the Morlet transform of quantum time-frequency spectrum,the two-state model can be used to study the dynamical origin of the low-order harmonic generation of hydrogen molecular ion driven by low-frequency pulses. In addition, some interesting structures of the time profiles for low order harmonics are obtained.展开更多

The hydrogen erosion resistance of TiC-C films and the effect of hydrogen participation on TiC-C films were studied. Seventy-five percent TiC-C films are prepared on stainless steel surface by using ion mixing, where TiC-C films are deposited by rf magnetron sputtering followed by argon ion bombardment. The samples are then submitted to hydrogen ion implantation at 1.2 × 10^-3 Pa. Characterization for the 75% TiC-C films was done with SIMS, XRD, AES, and XPS. Secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) was used to analyze hydrogen concentration variation with depth, X-Ray diffraction (XRD) was used to identify the phases, and Auger electron spectra (AES) as well as X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) were used to check the effects of hydrogen on shifts of chemical bonding states of C and Ti in the TiC-C films. It is found that TiC-C films on stainless steel surface can prevent hydrogen from entering stainless steel.展开更多

D/H ratios are constant within a single grain and among the different grains from the same sample. The lack of correlation between the D/H ratios and the hydrogen contents indicates that the hydrogen isotopic compositions are inherited from their mantle source. Combining with the δD values of coexisting amphiboles, it is inferred that the Nushan mantle experienced at least a two-stage metasomatic event. One was responsible for formation of amphiboles with extremely variable δD values, and the other was probably responsible for the high δD values (up to ?20‰) of some clinopyroxenes from peridotites, clinopyroxene and mica megacrysts. High δD values point to a subduction-related fluid being involved in one metasomatic event. The primary δD values (?90‰ to ?140‰) of the Nushan pyroxenes, together with data gleaned from the literature, suggest that the D/H ratios of the nominally anhydrous mineral reservoir might have differed from that of the other mantle hydrogen in being relatively depleted in D.展开更多

For PEI/Pebax2533/AgBF4 composite membranesprepared with dillerent AgBF4 concentration, the permeances of propylene and ethylene increase with the increase of AgBF4 concentration due to the carrier-facilitated transport, resulting in a high selectivity. But for propyl- ene/propane mixture, the mixed-gas selectivity is lower than its ideal selectivity. The hydrogen reduction strongly influences the membrane performance, which causes the decrease of propylene permeance and the increase of pro-pane permeance. With the increase of hydrogen reduction time, the membranes show a clearly color change from white to brown, yielding a great selectivity loss. The data of X-ray diffraction and FT-IR prove that silver ions are reduced to Ago after hydrogen reduction, and aggregated on the surface of PEI/Pebax2533/AgBF4 composite mem- branes.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND Pelvic floor dysfunction(PFD)is related to muscle fiber tearing during childbirth,negatively impacting postpartum quality of life of parturient.Appropriate and effective intervention is necessary to promote PFD recovery.AIM To analyze the use of hydrogen peroxide and silver ion disinfection for vaginal electrodes in conjunction with comprehensive rehabilitation therapy for postpartum women with PFD.METHODS A total of 59 women with PFD who were admitted to the hospital from May 2019 to July 2022 were divided into two groups:Control group(n=27)received comprehensive rehabilitation therapy and observation group(n=32)received intervention with pelvic floor biostimulation feedback instrument in addition to comprehensive rehabilitation therapy.The vaginal electrodes were disinfected with hydrogen peroxide and silver ion before treatment.Intervention for both groups was started 6 weeks postpartum,and rehabilitation lasted for 3 months.Pelvic floor muscle voltage,pelvic floor muscle strength,vaginal muscle voltage,vaginal muscle tone,pelvic floor function,quality of life,and incidence of postpartum PFD were compared between the two groups.RESULTS Before comprehensive rehabilitation treatment,basic data and pelvic floor function were not significantly different between the two groups.After treatment,the observation group showed significant improvements in the maximum voltage and average voltage of pelvic floor muscles,contraction time of type I and type II fibers,pelvic floor muscle strength,vaginal muscle tone,vaginal muscle voltage,and quality of life(GQOLI-74 reports),compared with the control group.The observation group had lower scores on the pelvic floor distress inventory(PFDI-20)and a lower incidence of postpartum PFD,indicating the effectiveness of the pelvic floor biostimulation feedback instrument in promoting the recovery of maternal pelvic floor function.CONCLUSION The combination of the pelvic floor biostimulation feedback instrument and comprehensive rehabilitation nursing can improve pelvic floor muscle strength,promote the recovery of vaginal muscle tone,and improve pelvic floor function and quality of life.The use of hydrogen peroxide and silver ion disinfectant demonstrated favorable antibacterial efficacy and is worthy of clinical application.
文摘The purpose of this review and commentary was to provide an historical and evidence-based account of organic acids and the biochemical and organic chemistry evidence for why cells do not produce metabolites that are acids.The scientific study of acids has a long history dating to the 16th and 17th centuries,and the definition of an acid was proposed in 1884 as a molecule that when in an aqueous solution releases a hydrogen ion(H^(+)).There are three common ionizable functional groups for molecules classified as acids:1)the carboxyl group,2)the phos-phoryl group and 3)the amine group.The propensity by which a cation will associate or dissociate with a negatively charged atom is quantified by the equilibrium constant(K_(eq))of the dissociation constant(K_(d))of the ionization(K_(eq)=K_(d)),which for lactic acid(HLa)vs.lactate(La^(-))is expressed as:K_(eq)=K_(d)=[H^(+)][La^(-)]/[HLa]=4677.3514(ionic strength=0.01 Mol⋅L^(-1),T=25℃).The negative log10 of the dissociation pKd reveals the pH at which half of the molecules are ionized,which for HLa=3.67.Thus,knowing the pKd and the pH of the solution at question will reveal the extent of the ionization vs.acidification of molecules that are classified as acids.

文摘In this study,surface modification of monocrystalline silicon with two doses of hydrogen ion implantation and the plunge cutting process were conducted to explore the influence of hydrogen ions on the cutting behavior of silicon.The results show that ion implantation is capable of deteriorating or improving the machinability of silicon,depending on the implantation dose.More cleavages and a reduction of critical depth of cut(CDoC)were observed for the silicon with a low implantation dose in the cutting direction of<100>in comparison to bare silicon,while no cleavage and an increase of CDoC were achieved after implantation with a high dose in the same cutting direction.Besides,the ductile cutting and thrust forces of the silicon with the low dose are larger than the bare silicon,but the forces are significantly reduced for the silicon after the high dose of implantation.The variation of the cutting forces is due to the different required stresses to overcome ductile and fracture deformation of silicon.
文摘Continuous measurements of pH precipitation falling from cumulus clouds in semi-arid region (Colorado,USA),and in wet temperate zone(Bologna,Italy)were made.In Colorado the pH was constant at 7.3 for a period of time,and later changed to 7.0 and remained constant at this value during the remainder of the storm.In Italy the pH fluctuated continuously between the approximate values of 5.7 and 6.4 during the storm.The changes in hydrogen ion concentration reflect the chemical composition of cloud condensation nuclei and of scavenged aerosol particles and gases presented in the region.

文摘Hydrogen discharges driven by the combined radio-frequency(rf)/short pulse sources are investigated using the particle-in-cell method.The simulation results show that the discharge driven additionally by the short pulse can enhance the electron density and modulate the electron energy to provide a better condition for negative hydrogen ion production than the discharge driven by the rf-only source.
文摘Destruxins, cyclohexadepsipeptidic mycotoxins isolated from the ento mopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae, inhibit innate insect immunity. However, their mechanism of action remains unclear. In this study, the effects ofdestruxins on changes in free calcium and hydrogen ions in the hemocytes ofExolontha serrulata, Bombyx mori and the Spodoptera litura SL1 cell line were detected using laser scanning confocal mi croscopy (LSCM). An instant Ca2+ influx of hemocytes induced by destruxins A and B (DA and DB) was recorded. The DA/DBdependent Ca2+ influx was not influenced by the Ca2+ channel inhibitors 2aminoethoxydiphenyl borane (2APB) and U73122. It also had an apparently different LSCM profile from that of the ionomycindependent Ca2+ influx. However, the instant Ca2+ influx was not seen in the SL1 cells; on the contrary, a slow, moderate enhancement of intracellular Ca2+ was observed. Meanwhile, an instant intracellular free H+ decrease aroused by DA and DB was found. DB at 20/zmol/L and DA at 690/zmol/L significantly reduced intracellular free H+ levels. Furthermore, the vacuolar H+ATPase (VATPase) inhibitor bafilomycin A1 had obvious effects on the decreases ofintracellular free H+ in hemocytes. These results suggest that the mechanism of DA/DBdependent Ca2+ influx is perhaps not related to Ca2+ channels and ionophores; rather, the intracellular free H+ decrease might be due to VATPase inhibition.

文摘The low-order harmonic generation of hydrogen molecular ion interacting with a linearly polarized laser field has been investigated theoretically by using a simple two-state model. The validity of the two-state model is carefully examined by comparing the harmonic spectra of hydrogen molecular ion obtained from this model with those from the three-dimensional time-dependent Schr¨odinger equation. When combined with the Morlet transform of quantum time-frequency spectrum,the two-state model can be used to study the dynamical origin of the low-order harmonic generation of hydrogen molecular ion driven by low-frequency pulses. In addition, some interesting structures of the time profiles for low order harmonics are obtained.

文摘Titanium carbide coatings are widely used as various wear-resistant material. The hydrogen erosion resistance of TiC-C films and the effect of hydrogen participation on TiC-C films were studied. Seventy-five percent TiC-C films are prepared on stainless steel surface by using ion mixing, where TiC-C films are deposited by rf magnetron sputtering followed by argon ion bombardment. The samples are then submitted to hydrogen ion implantation at 1.2 × 10^-3 Pa. Characterization for the 75% TiC-C films was done with SIMS, XRD, AES, and XPS. Secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) was used to analyze hydrogen concentration variation with depth, X-Ray diffraction (XRD) was used to identify the phases, and Auger electron spectra (AES) as well as X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) were used to check the effects of hydrogen on shifts of chemical bonding states of C and Ti in the TiC-C films. It is found that TiC-C films on stainless steel surface can prevent hydrogen from entering stainless steel.

文摘Hydrogen isotopic compositions of pyroxenes in peridotite xenoliths from the Nushan volcano, Anhui Province, SE China have been obtained using an ion probe (Cameca 1270). D/H ratios are constant within a single grain and among the different grains from the same sample. The lack of correlation between the D/H ratios and the hydrogen contents indicates that the hydrogen isotopic compositions are inherited from their mantle source. Combining with the δD values of coexisting amphiboles, it is inferred that the Nushan mantle experienced at least a two-stage metasomatic event. One was responsible for formation of amphiboles with extremely variable δD values, and the other was probably responsible for the high δD values (up to ?20‰) of some clinopyroxenes from peridotites, clinopyroxene and mica megacrysts. High δD values point to a subduction-related fluid being involved in one metasomatic event. The primary δD values (?90‰ to ?140‰) of the Nushan pyroxenes, together with data gleaned from the literature, suggest that the D/H ratios of the nominally anhydrous mineral reservoir might have differed from that of the other mantle hydrogen in being relatively depleted in D.

文摘In this paper, the effect of hydrogen reduction of silver ions on the performance and structure of new solid polymer electrolyte polyetherimide (PEI)/Pebax2533 (Polynylonl2/tetramethylene oxide block copolymer, PA12-PTMO)/AgBF4 composite membranes is investigated. For PEI/Pebax2533/AgBF4 composite membranesprepared with dillerent AgBF4 concentration, the permeances of propylene and ethylene increase with the increase of AgBF4 concentration due to the carrier-facilitated transport, resulting in a high selectivity. But for propyl- ene/propane mixture, the mixed-gas selectivity is lower than its ideal selectivity. The hydrogen reduction strongly influences the membrane performance, which causes the decrease of propylene permeance and the increase of pro-pane permeance. With the increase of hydrogen reduction time, the membranes show a clearly color change from white to brown, yielding a great selectivity loss. The data of X-ray diffraction and FT-IR prove that silver ions are reduced to Ago after hydrogen reduction, and aggregated on the surface of PEI/Pebax2533/AgBF4 composite mem- branes.
文摘Parameters of hydrogen plasma in a miniature Penning discharge ion source, including the electron temperature and the electron density, were measured by using double probes. The results indicate that the electron density increases and the electron temperature decreases with the increase in gas pressure and the discharge current. The electron temperature is about 5 - 9 eV and the electron density is 6.0× 10^13 ~ 1.2 × 10^14 m^-3 while the discharge current is in a range of 50 - 120 μA.
