The nuclear equation of state (EOS) and the neutron star properties are studied in a relativistic Lagrangian density, using the relativistic mean field (RMF) hadron theory. It is known that the δ-field in the constant coupling scheme leads to a larger repulsion in dense neutron-rich matter and to a definite splitting of proton and neutron effective masses, finally influences the stability of the neutron stars. We use density-dependent models of the nucleon-meson couplings to study the properties of neutron star matter and to reexamine the (^-field effects in asymmetric nuclear matter. Our calculation shows that the stability conditions of the neutron star matter can be improved in presence of the δ-meson in the density-dependent models of the coupling constants. The EOS of nuclear matter strongly depends on the density dependence of the interactions.展开更多

The influence of interface stresses on the critical shear stress was examined. The result indicates that, if the volume fraction of the core-shell nanowires keeps a constant, an optimal critical shear stress may be obtained when the radius of the nanowire with interface stresses reaches a critical value, which differs from the classical solution without considering the interface stresses under the same external conditions. In addition, the material may be strengthened by the soft nanowires when the interface stresses are considered. There also exist critical values of the elastic modulus and the thickness of surface coating to alter the strengthening effect produced by it.展开更多

The singleshell states and the corresponding matrix elements needed for describing Sn isotopes are reconstructed to calculate the coefficient of fractional parantage by reducing the calculation requirements. This reconstruction allows us to do the shell model calculations of the neutron deficient Sn isotopes in very reasonable time. The results are compared to the recent high-resolution experimental data and found to be in good agreement with experiments.展开更多

We find that pairing gaps in the 3PF2 channel predicted by adopting the AV14 interaction are much larger than those by the AV18 interaction. As the isospin-asymmetry increases, the neutron 3 pF2 superfluidity is found to increase rapidly, whereas the proton one turns out to decrease and may even vanish at high enough asymmetries. As a consequence, the neutron 3pF2 superfluidity is much stronger than the proton one at high asymmetries and it predominates over the proton one in dense neutron-rich matter.展开更多

Accumulated evidence has shown that HBV X protein(HBx protein) is a multifunctional regulator with a crucial role in hepatocarcinogenesis. However, information on the mechanism by which HBV induces HCC is lacking. This review focuses on the pathological functions of HBx in HBV-induced hepatocarcinogenesis. As a transactivator, HBx can modulate nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells(NF-κB) and transcription factor AP-2. Moreover, HBx can affect regulatory non-coding RNAs(ncRNAs) including microRNAs and long ncRNAs(lncRNAs), such as miRNA-205 and highly upregulated in liver cancer(HULC), respectively. HBx is also involved in epigenetic modification, including methylation and acetylation. HBx interacts with various signal-transduction pathways, such as protein kinase B/Akt, Wnt/β-catenin, signal transducer and activator of transcription, and NF-κB pathways. Moreover, HBx affects cellular fate by shifting the balance toward cell survival. HBx may lead to the loss of apoptotic functions or directly contributes to oncogenesis by achieving transforming functions, which induce hepatocarcinogenesis. Additionally, HBx can modulate apoptosis and immune response by direct or indirect interaction with host factors. We conclude that HBx hastens the development of hepatoma.展开更多

The eukaryotic expression vectors pEGFP-N1/SARS-CoVN and pdsRed2-N1/ CXCL16 were constructed and used to co-transfect HEK293FT cells by the calcium phosphate method. The HIS-tagged fusion protein SARS-CoVN-GFP was then built and purified for the binding assay in vitro. The co-localization of SARS-CoVN and CXCL16 in the cytoplasm of HEK293FT cells was also shown using confocal laser scanning microscopy. It is suggested that their interaction might be through direct combination. Under a fluorescence microscope, it was observed that the purified fusion protein SARS-CoVN-GFP was attached to the cell membrane of CXCL16-transfected cells, indicating that SARS-CoVN and CXCL16 can be mutually combined.展开更多

The effective baryon-baryon interaction that includes the △(1236) resonance freedom degrees to calculate nuclear properties is used. The nucleon-nucleon (N-N) interaction is based on Reid soft core (RSC) potential. The results of calculations show that much of increase in the nuclear energy generated under compression is used to create the massive △ particles. The number of △ 's can be increased to about 2.1% of constituents of nucleus when nuclear density reaches about 1.34 times of normal density. The single particle energy levels are calculated and their behavior under compression is also examined. △ good agreement has been found between current calculations and phenomenological shell model for low lying single-particle spectra. The gap between shells is very clear and L-S coupling become stronger as increasing the static load on the nucleus. The results show a considerable reduction in compressibility when freedom degrees of △'s are taken into account. It has been found that the total nuclear radial density becomes denser in the interior and less dense in the exterior region of nucleus. The surface of nucleus becomes more and more responsive to compression than outer region.展开更多

The U-boson leads to the increase of the star maximum mass. The modification to the maximum mass by the U-boson with the strong YY interaction is larger than that with the weak YY interaction. The maximum mass of the protoneutron star is less sensitive to the U-boson than that of the neutron star. The inclusion of the U-boson narrows down the mass window for the hyperonized protoneutron stars. As g^2/μ~2 increases, the species of hyperons, which can appear in a stable protoneutron star decrease. The rotation frequency, the red shift, the momentum of inertia and the total neutrino fraction of PSR J1903-0327 are sensitive to the U-boson and change with g^2/μ~2 in an approximate linear trend. The possible way to constrain the coupling constants of the U-boson is discussed.展开更多

The nature of Stokes shift in quantum dots(QD) can be used to improve the quality of CLI. However, the interaction mechanism of QD with Cerenkov light remains unclear. In this work, the interaction mechanism between QD and radionuclides emitting β rays, γ rays, and Cerenkov light was investigated. The 96-well plates were used to test the different levels of radioactivity of radionuclides with different QD concentrations. Transparent vials were used to determine the relationship between QD fluorescence intensity and the distance from QD to the radionuclide. In addition, black paper was used to block the transmission of Cerenkov light through the QD vials. A linear relationship was found between the number of photons and the radioactivity of radionuclides when the QD concentration was kept constant. Similarly, the number of photons was linearly related to the QD concentration when the radioactivity of radionuclides was kept constant. Furthermore, with the increases in the distance between radionuclides and quantum dots, the number of photons was exponentially decreased. Meanwhile, the number of photons emitted from QD excited by Cerenkov light accounted for 20% the total number of photons excited by 131 I radionuclide. The result proved that QD was not only excited by Cerenkov light but also by other rays.展开更多

This effective interaction, derived in year 1966, is the first attempt to describe nuclear structure properties from the free nucleon-nucleon potential. Nowadays much progress has been achieved for the effective interactions in shell model. We would compare the effective interactions obtained in the 1966 paper with up-to-date shell-model interactions in sd-shell and pf-shell model space. Recent knowledge of effective interactions on nuclear structure, can also be traced in the KuoBrown effective interaction, i.e., the universal roles of central and tensor forces, which reminds us that such discovery should be noticed much earlier.展开更多

文摘Most eukaryotes employ a variety of mechanisms to defend the integrity of their genome by recognizing and silencing parasitic mobile nucleic acids.However,recent studies have shown that genomic DNA undergoes extensive rearrangements,including DNA elimination,fragmentation,and unscrambling,during the sexual reproduction of ciliated protozoa.Non-coding RNAs have been identified to program and regulate genome rearrangement events.In Paramecium and Tetrahymena,scan RNAs(scnRNAs)are produced from micronuclei and transported to vegetative macronuclei,in which scnRNA elicits the elimination of cognate genomic DNA.In contrast,Piwi-interacting RNAs(piRNAs)in Oxytricha enable the retention of genomic DNA that exhibits sequence complementarity in macronuclei.An RNA interference(RNAi)-like mechanism has been found to direct these genomic rearrangements.Furthermore,in Oxytricha,maternal RNA templates can guide the unscrambling process of genomic DNA.The non-coding RNA-directed genome rearrangements may have profound evolutionary implications,for example,eliciting the multigenerational inheritance of acquired adaptive traits.

文摘This paper is a short revisit to Kuo-Brown effective interaction derived from the Hamada-Johnston nucleon-nucleon potential, done by Gerry Brown and Tom Kuo. This effective interaction, derived in year 1966, is the first attempt to describe nuclear structure properties from the free nucleon-nucleon potential. Nowadays much progress has been achieved for the effective interactions in shell model. We would compare the effective interactions obtained in the 1966 paper with up-to-date shell-model interactions in sd-shell and pf-shell model space. Recent knowledge of effective interactions on nuclear structure, can also be traced in the KuoBrown effective interaction, i.e., the universal roles of central and tensor forces, which reminds us that such discovery should be noticed much earlier.
