The used residual two-body interactions consist of central, tensor, spin orbit and quadratic spin orbit terms with Gaussian radial dependence. The parameters of these interactions are so chosen in such a way that they represent the long-range attraction and the short-range repulsion of the nucleon-nucleon interactions. These parameters are so chosen to reproduce good agreement between the calculated values of the binding energy, the root mean-square radius, the D-state probability, the magnetic dipole moment and the electric quadrupole moment of the deuteron nucleus. The variation method is then used to calculate the binding energy of triton by varying the oscillator parameter which exists in the nuclear wave function. The obtained nuclear wave functions are then used to calculate the root mean-square radius and the magnetic dipole moment of the triton.展开更多

We focus our attention to the perturbation on initial binding energy. The solutions are obtained constructively under the entropy conditions. It can be found that the solutions are essentially different from the corresponding Riemann solutions for some cases. Especially, two important phenomena are observed: the transition from detonation to deflagration followed by a shock, which appears in the numerical simulations [7, 27]; the transition from deflagration to detonation (DDT), which is one of the core problems in gas dynamic combustion.展开更多

The nearest-neighbor tight-binding model was previously considered to calculate the plasmon spectrum in graphene [1]. We extend these results to the next-nearest-neighbor tight-binding model. As in the calculation of the nearest-neighbor model, our approach is based on the numerical calculation of the dielectric function and the loss function. We compare the plasmon spectrum of the two models and discuss the differences in the dispersion.展开更多

It finds that the biexciton binding energies in the QDs show "binding" and "antibinding" properties which correspond to the large and small sizes of QDs, respectively. The experimental results can be well interpreted by the biexciton potential curve, calculated from the exciton molecular model and the Heitler London method.展开更多

The partial pressure of dioxygen necessary for half oxygenation ( P 1/2 ) and Hill coefficient ( n ) at 298 K were determined as follows: P 1/2 =54.2 kPa, n =2.0 for Co 2PP 8 and P 1/2 =6.8 kPa, n =1.8 for Co 2PP 4,respectively. The rate equations of reversible oxygen binding by Co 2PP 8 were determined and the reaction path was proposed. The results of thermodynamic and kinetic studies indicate that there exists strong cooperative effect during oxygenation of the compounds. The ESR observation reveals that the dioxygen complexes formed in the solutions are of superoxo (Co O - 2) type.展开更多

With the developed model, the fabrication process of silicon on nothing(SON) structure was quantitatively investigated. We employ a diffuse interface model that incorporates the mechanism of surface diffusion. The mechanism of the fabrication is systematically integrated for high reliability of computational analysis. A semi-implicit Fourier spectral scheme is applied for high efficiency and numerical stability. Moreover, the theoretical analysis provides the guidance that is ordered by the fundamental geometrical design parameters to guide different fabrications of SON structures. The performed simulations suggest a substantial potential of the presented model for a reliable design technology of nano/micro-fabrications.展开更多

It was suspected by Gamow to be of van der Waals type, found here to be deuteron bonds. The binding energy per nucleon, in absolute value, of an α-particle is larger than any other combination of 4 nucleons. Therefore, the binding energy per nucleon is low for odd-odd N = Z nuclei and maximum for even-even N = Z nuclei. The assumption of N = Z nuclei to be an assembly of α-particles and deuteron bonds predicts the binding energy of the 32 first N = Z nuclei with a rms deviation of 0.25 MeV.展开更多

The CIRP has been widely studied in mammals and amphibians since it was first cloned from mammals. On the contrary, there are little reports in teleosts. In this study, the Po CIRP gene of the Japanese flounder was cloned and sequenced. The genomic sequence consists of seven exons and six introns. The putative Po CIRP protein of flounder was 198 amino acid residues long containing the RNA recognition motif(RRM). Phylogenetic analysis showed that the flounder Po CIRP is highly conserved with other teleost CIRPs. The 5' flanking sequence was cloned by genome walking and many transcription factor binding sites were identified. There is a Cp Gs region located in promoter and exon I region and the methylation state is low. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis uncovered that Po CIRP gene was widely expressed in adult tissues with the highest expression level in the ovary. The m RNA of the Po CIRP was maternally deposited and the expression level of the gene was regulated up during the gastrula and neurula stages. In order to gain the information how the protein interacts with m RNA, we performed the modeling of the 3D structure of the flounder Po CIRP. The results showed a cleft existing the surface of the molecular. Taken together, the results indicate that the CIRP is a multifunctional molecular in teleosts and the findings about the structure provide valuable information for understanding the basis of this protein's function.展开更多

They are classified into different subtypes based on their targets. The α-conotoxins selectively inhibit the current of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Because of their unique selectivity towards distinct n ACh R subtypes, α-conotoxins become valuable tools in n ACh R study. In addition to the X-ray structures of α-conotoxins in complex with acetylcholine-binding protein, a homolog of the n ACh R ligand-binding domain, the high-resolution crystal structures of the extracellular domain of the α1 and α9 subunits are also obtained. Such structures not only revealed the details of the configuration of n ACh R, but also provided higher sequence identity templates for modeling the binding modes of α-conotoxins to n ACh R. This mini-review summarizes recent modeling studies for the determination of the binding modes of α-conotoxins to n ACh R. As there are not crystal structures of the n ACh R in complex with conotoxins, computational modeling in combination of mutagenesis data is expected to reveal the molecular recognition mechanisms that govern the interactions between α-conotoxins and n ACh R at molecular level. An accurate determination of the binding modes of α-conotoxins on ACh Rs allows rational design of α-conotoxin analogues with improved potency or selectivity to n ACh Rs.展开更多
