To improve the cyclic stability at high temperature and thermal stability, the spherical Al2O3-modified Li（Ni0.5Co0.2Mn0.3）O2 was synthesized by a modified co-precipitation method, and the physical and electrochemical properties were studied. The TEM images showed that Li（Ni0.5Co0.2Mn0.3）O2 was modified successfully with nano-Al2O3. The discharge capacity retention of Al2O3-modified Li（Ni0.5Co0.2Mn0.3）O2 maintained about 99% after 200 cycles at high temperature（55 ℃）, while that of the bare one was only 86%. Also, unlike bare Li（Ni0.5Co0.2Mn0.3）O2, the Al2O3-modified material cathode exhibited good thermal stability.

Evaluation of Uncertainty in Measuring the Content of CaM V35S Promoter in Genetically Modified Soybean,GTS40-3-2,by Real-time Quantitative PCR

[ Objective ] This study aimed to investigate the major contributors to the measurement uncertainty in quantitative analysis of genetically modified ingreclients and improve the quality of quantitative detection of genetically modified components. [ Method] The content of CaMV35S promoter （parameter） in GTS40- 3-2 soybean powder samples was measured to estimate the measurement uncertainty preliminarily. [ Result] Type A uncertainty （uA） ＇ type B uncertainty （uB） and combined standard uncertainty （Uc） were 0.0 004, 0.002 and 0.002, respectively. At a confidence level ofp = 95% and freedom degree of Voff = 3 251, coverage factor k = 1.96, expanded uncertainty U = 0.004. The final measurement result was C = 0.028 ± 0. 004, which was dose to the conventional true value （0.03）. Thus, the measurement uncertainty was relatively small, indicating a high quality of measurement. In this study, uncertainty evaluation indicated that the deviation of micro liquid transfer made the greatest contribution to the measurement uncertainty. [ Cludusion ] The deviation of micro liquid transfer should be reduced to im- prove the quality of measurement.

Risk factors for occult metastasis detected by inflammation-based prognostic scores and tumor markers in biliary tract cancer

BACKGROUND Radiological detection of small liver metastasis or peritoneal metastasis is still difficult,and some patients with biliary tract cancer(BTC)are unresectable after laparotomy.Staging laparoscopy may help avoid unnecessary laparotomy.However,which category of BTC is amenable with staging laparoscopy remains unclear.AIM To clarify the risk factors for occult metastasis in patients with BTC.METHODS Medical records of patients with BTC who underwent surgery at our institution between January 2008 and June 2014 were retrospectively reviewed.The patients were divided into two groups,according to resection or exploratory laparotomy(EL).Preoperative laboratory data,including inflammation-based prognostic scores and tumor markers,were compared between the two groups.Prognostic importance of detected risk factors was also evaluated.RESULTS A total of 236 patients were enrolled in this study.Twenty-six(11%)patients underwent EL.Among the EL patients,there were 16 cases of occult metastasis(7 liver metastases and 9 abdominal disseminations).Serum carcinoembryonic antigen level,carbohydrate antigen 19-9 level,neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and modified Glasgow prognostic score were significantly higher in the EL group than in the resected group,and these factors were prognostic.Among these factors,carcinoembryonic antigen>7 ng/mL was the most useful to predict occult metastasis in BTC.When patients have more than three of these positive factors,the rate of occult metastasis increases.CONCLUSION Inflammation-based prognostic scores and tumor markers are useful in detecting occult metastasis in BTC;based on these factors,staging laparoscopy may reduce the rate of EL.

APPLICATION OF A MODIFIED QUICK SCHEME TO DEPTH-AVERAGED k-ε TURBULENCE MODEL BASED ON UNSTRUCTURED GRIDS

The modified QUICK scheme on unstructured grid was used to improve the advection flux approximation, and the depth-averaged κ-ε turbulence model with the scheme based on FVM by SIMPLE series algorithm was established and applied to spur-dike flow computation. In this model, the over-relaxed approach was adopted to estimate the diffusion flux in view of its advantages in reducing errors and sustaining numerical stability usually encountered in non-orthogonal meshes. Two spur-dike cases with different defection angles （90°and 135°） were analyzed to validate the model. Computed results show that the predicted velocities and recirculation lengths are in good agreement with the observed data. Moreover, the computations on structured and unstructured grids were compared in terms of the approximately equivalent grid numbers. It can be concluded that the precision with unstructured grids is higher than that with structured grids in spite that the CPU time required is slightly more with unstructured grids Thus, it is significant to apply the method to numerical simulation of practical hydraulic engineering.

Synthesis and cytotoxic activity of 3, 4, 11-trihydroxyl modified derivatives of bergenin

To synthesize a series of 3-, 4-, and/or 11-trihydroxy modified bergenin derivatives and evaluated their cytotoxic activity in vitro. The phenolic hydroxyl groups of bergenin were protected by benzyl groups with benzyl bromide. Treatment of dibenzyl bergenin with the corresponding acid in the presence of EDC·HCl and DMAP in CH2Cl2, followed by hydrogenation over Pd/C catalysts, afforded derivatives of bergenin esters. All of the target compounds were identified by IR, MS, and 1H NMR. Twenty-six novel and three known derivatives of bergenin esters were synthesized. Their cytotoxicity values were evaluated by the MTT assay on the inhibition of DU-145 and BGC-823 cells in vitro. Several triply-substituted(3a, 4a, 5a, 6a, 7a) and doublysubstituted(8b, 9b) bergenin derivatives exhibited higher cytotoxic activity than bergenin. The result showed that the size of substituents and the lipophilicity of the bergenin esters displayed an important role on their cytotoxic activity.

Enhanced separation of Pd(Ⅱ)and Pt(Ⅳ)from hydrochloric acid aqueous solution using 2-((2-methoxyethyl)thio)-1H-benzimidazole

Separation of palladium(Pd)and platinum(Pt)by solvent extraction is difficult because of their extremely similar physicochemical properties.Development of new extractants with a high extraction efficiency and excellent separation selectivity is the primary focus for enhancing the separation of Pd and Pt by solvent extraction.In this study,a new extractant,2-((2-methoxyethyl)thio)-1 H-benzimidazole(MOBI),which contains N,S,and O atoms,was synthesized and used to separate Pd(Ⅱ)and Pt(Ⅳ)from a hydrochloric acid aqueous solution.The experimental results revealed that Pd(Ⅱ)and Pt(Ⅳ)were effectively separated under the optimal conditions:MOB I concentration of 0.005 mol·L^(-1),HCl concentration of0.2 mol·L^(-1),organic/aqueous(O/A)phase ratio of 1.0,and contact time of 15 min.The separation coefficient between Pd(Ⅱ)and Pt(Ⅳ)was 1246.40,which indicates that MOBI has a higher selectivity for Pd(Ⅱ)than Pt(Ⅳ).In addition,the mechanism of coordination between Pd(Ⅱ)and MOBI was demonstrated through the slope method,Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR),hydrogen-1 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy(^(1)H NMR),and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy(^(13)C NMR).The results revealed that MOBI could coordinate with Pd(Ⅱ)via the N atom in the benzimidazole ring of MOBI molecules to form[Pd(MOBI)_(2)Cl_(2)](O).

A numerical approach based on the meshless collocation method in elastodynamics

In this paper, a collocation technique with the modified equilibrium on line method （ELM） for imposition of Neumann （natural） boundary conditions is presented for solving the two-dimensional problems of linear elastic body vibrations. In the modified ELM, equilibrium over the lines on the natural boundary is satisfied as Neumann boundary condition equations. In other words, the natural boundary conditions are satisfied naturally by using the weak formulation. The performance of the modified version of the ELM is studied for collocation methods based on two different ways to construct meshless shape functions： moving least squares approximation and radial basis point interpolation. Numerical examples of two-dimensional free and forced vibration analyses show that by using the modified ELM, more stable and accurate results would be obtained in comparison with the direct collocation method.

Limited ecological risk of insect-resistance transgene flow from cultivated rice to its wild ancestor based on life-cycle fitness assessment

Ecological impact caused by transgene flow from genetically engineered （GE） crops to their wild rela- tives is largely determined by the fitness effect brought by a transgene. To estimate such impact is critical for the eco- logical risk assessment prior to the commercialization of GE crops. We produced F1 and F2 hybrid descendants from crosses of two insect-resistant GE rice lines （Bt, Bt/CpT1） and their non-GE rice parent with a wild rice （Oryza ruff- pogon） population to estimate the transgenic fitness. Insect damages and life-cycle fitness of GE and non-GE crop- wild hybrid descendants as well as their wild parent were examined in a common-garden experiment. No significant differences in insect damages were observed between the wild rice parent and GE hybrid descendants under high- insect pressure. The wild parent showed significantly greater relative survival-regeneration ratios than its GE and non-GE hybrid descendants under both high- and low-in- sect pressure. However, more seeds were produced in GE hybrid descendants than their non-GE counterparts under high-insect pressure. Given that the introduction of Bt and Bt/CpT1 transgenes did not provide greater insect resistance to crop-wild hybrid descendants than their wild parent, we predict that transgene flow from GE insect-resistant rice to wild rice populations may not cause considerable ecolog- ical risks.

Density-Dependent Conformable Space-time Fractional Diffusion-Reaction Equation and Its Exact Solutions

In this article, a special type of fractional differential equations(FDEs) named the density-dependent conformable fractional diffusion-reaction(DDCFDR) equation is studied. Aforementioned equation has a significant role in the modelling of some phenomena arising in the applied science. The well-organized methods, including the exp(-φ(ε))-expansion and modified Kudryashov methods are exerted to generate the exact solutions of this equation such that some of the solutions are new and have been reported for the first time. Results illustrate that both methods have a great performance in handling the DDCFDR equation.

Regulated CO adsorption by the electrode with OH^(-) repulsive property for enhancing C–C coupling

Electrochemical CO_(2) reduction driven by renewable electricity is one of the promising strategies to store sus-tainable energy as fuels.However,the selectivity of value-added multi-carbon products remains poor for further application of this process.Here,we regulate CO adsorption by forming a Nafion layer on the copper(Cu)electrode that is repulsive to OH^(-),contributing to enhanced selectivity of CO_(2) reduction to C_(2) products with the suppression of C 1 products.The operando Raman spectroscopy indicates that the local OH^(-)would adsorb on part of active sites and decrease the adsorption of CO.Therefore,the electrode with repulsive to OH^(-)can adjust the concentration of OH^(-),leading to the increased adsorption of CO and enhanced C–C coupling.This work shows that electrode design could be an effective strategy for improving the selectivity of CO_(2) reduction to multi-carbon products.
