A New Schiff Base Derivatives Designed to Bind Metal Ion (Cu, Co): Thermodynamics and Biological Activity Studies

Schiff base synthesis is usually acid catalyzed and it usually requires refluxing the mixture of aldehydes and amine in ethanolic solution. Synthesis and characterization of Schiff base ligands derived from substituted amine and salicylaldehyde and their complexes (Cu2+, Co2+) are reported. The ligands and ligand-complexes were characterized by melting point, FTIR, CHN-elemental analysis and UV-Visible analysis. The UV-Visible and elemental analysis of complexes established (1:2) mole ratio (M:L). The stability constant and thermodynamic parameters (K, ΔG, ΔH, ΔS) were determined at different temperature (30 - 40)°C which established that the metal-complexes were very stable. The review describes the promising biological activities of Schiff base and their metal complexes.

Kinetic Study of Thermal Polymerization Reactions between Diazide and Different Diynes

The reaction kinetics between diazide（4,4＇-biphenyl dibenzyl azide） and different diynes（dipropargyl bisphenol A and 1,3-diethynylbenzene） were studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry（DSC） and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy（~1H-NMR）.DSC was adopted to analyze the reactions under bulk polymerization condition,while ~1H-NMR for solution reaction polymerization was conducted.The apparent activation energies（E_α） calculated by Kissinger＇s method were 77.96,81.24 k J/mol,which were confirmed by Friedman＇s method,and 65.45,69.36 k J/mol by ~1H-NMR for dispropargyl bisphenol A/4,4＇-biphenyl dibenzyl azide and 1,3-diethynylbenzene/4,4＇-biphenyl dibenzyl azide,respectively.The polymerizations between the diazide and diynes were first-order reactions based on calculation from both DSC and ~1H-NMR.The results showed that the reaction between dipropargyl bisphenol A and 4,4＇-biphenyl dibenzyl azide was easier than that between 1,3-diethynylbenzene and 4,4＇-biphenyl dibenzyl azide,verifying that the reactivity of aliphatic alkyne was higher than that of aromatic alkyne.

We develope a simple method to stabilize the beam during propagation. Combination of the self-developed control module and the large diameter mirrors reconstruct the beam stabilization system, and some important procedures are presented, such as calibration arid average filter.

The regulating time is within 84 ms. Thus the method presented is effective for the current stabilization system applied in lithography tools.

Study on photocatalytic activity of MoS2/ZnO composite in visible light

A series of MoS_2/ZnO compound photocatalysts with different mass ratios were successfully prepared by hydrothermal method. The X-ray diffraction(XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), scanning electron microscope(SEM) and UV-vis absorption were used to characterize the prepared MoS_2/ZnO photocatalysts. It was proved that the combination of Mo S2 and Zn O can increase the content of oxygen vacancies on surface of Zn O, thus improving the light absorption capacity in visible light region and reducing the band gap of Zn O. And the photocatalytic performance of Zn O was improved. Experimental results show that the MoS_2/ZnO(3 wt%) compound has the highest degradation rate for methylene blue(MB) under visible light, which means that it has the best photocatalytic activity among all the prepared samples.

Impact of preozonation on the bioactivity and biodiversity of subsequent biofilters under low temperature conditions-- A pilot study

The combination of preozonation and subsequent biological granular activated carbon （O3/BAC） filtration is well known as a promising method for the removal of many pollutants. Temperature and nutrients are the dominant factors in external conditions to influence the biological communities. To explore the influence of preozonation under low temperature, the factors such as dissolved oxygen （DO）, dissolved organic carbon （DOC） and NH4^＋-N were analyzed from the sampling ports every week; triphenyl tetrazolium ehloride-dehydrogenase activity （TTC-DHA） and the nitrifying activity were detected along the bed height ofbiofilter at four levels （10. 40. 70 and i 10 cm） on the 90th, 110th, and 130th day; ~nicrobial community, based on 16S rRNA gene-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis （DGGE）, was monitored on the 130th day of the operation. The observed microbial property showed that preozonation had a positive influence on bioactivity, biomass and nitrifying activity. Community analysis showed no significant difference on the biodiversity of nitrifying bacteria between the parallel filters in the inlet end based on the method employed. This result showed that biofilters＇ performance is not correlated well with microbial biodiversity. The elevated functionality in O3/BAC filters can be a result of increased microbial activity, which was promoted by preozonation.

Effect of Porous Activated Charcoal Reinforcement on Mechanical and In-Vitro Biological Properties of Polyvinyl Alcohol Composite Scaffolds

The present work focused on developing an innovative composite material by reinforcing polymer matrix with highly porous activated charcoal. Polyvinyl alcohol-activated charcoal（PVA-AC） composite scaffolds were developed by varying the AC concentrations（0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 and 2.5 wt%） in PVA matrix by freeze drying method. The developed scaffolds were characterized for their physicochemical, mechanical and in-vitro biological properties. In addition, the effect of AC on the attachment, proliferation and differentiation of osteoblast MG 63 cells was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy（SEM）, 3-（4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl）-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide（MTT） assay, alkaline phosphatase（ALP） activity assay and alizarin red stain-based（ARS） assay. All the PVA-AC composite scaffolds exhibited good bioactivity, hemocompatibility and protein adsorption properties. The scaffolds with high AC concentration（2.5 wt%） showed controlled drug release kinetics that are suitable for long term healing. The mechanical properties of all the PVA-AC composite scaffolds were improved when compared to the pure PVA scaffold. The high porosity, swelling degree and hydrophilicity of PVA-AC composite scaffolds facilitated cell attachment and proliferation. This is due to porous AC present in the sample that supported the osteoblast differentiation and formed mineralized nodules without the addition of any extra agents. From the above studies, it can be concluded that PVA-AC composite scaffolds are promising biomaterials for bone tissue engineering applications.
