Methods Column chromatography in association with semi-preparative HPLC were used for theisolation of compounds. 1D and 2D NMR, IR, UV, and MS were employed for structure elucidation.Results From the butanol fraction of the 95% EtOH extract of the starfish Asterias rollestoni, a newcompound N^7 -2'-deoxypseudoxanthosine (1), along with sixteen known compounds, 2'-0-methyl-inosine(2), 2'-deoxyinosine (3), 2'-0-methylguanosine (4), inosine (5); thymine (6), uracil (7), thymidine(8), deoxyuridine (9), 2'-0-methyluridine (10), ( ― )-(1S, 3S)-1-methyl-1, 2, 3,4-terrahydro-β-carboline-3-carboxyl-ic acid (11), ( ― )-(1R, 3S)-1-methyl-1, 2, 3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline-3-carboxylic acid (12) , ( ― )-(3S)- 1, 2, 3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline-3-carboxylic acid (13), L-tryptophan (14), L-phenylalanine (15), 3-carboxyindole (16), and p-hydroxybenzoic acid (17) , have been isolated.

METHODS: Immunohistochemical technique and hematoxylin-eosin stain was used to show the changes of the expression of GAP-43 and pathology. RESULTS: In infarction group, GAP-43 expression was markedly increased on the infarction and surrounding tissues at 24 h cerebral infarction. The expression reached peak level at 72 h after cerebral infarction and was decreased at 7 d after cerebral infarction. However, in batroxobin-treated group, GAP-43 expression was increased and the pathological changes were much slight as compared with infarction group. CONCLUSION: The expression of GAP-43 increases in infarction of temporal neocortex and batroxobin promotes the expression of GAP-43 and ameliorates the pathological changes in infarction of temporal neocortex.展开更多

Sucrose polyester was synthesized by a solvent-free one-stage interesterification. The optimum reaction conditions are as follows: methyl oleate/sucrose =10: 1 (mol/mol); reaction temperature is 140 ℃; reaction time is 5 hours. The product yield reaches 88.15%, and the degree of esterification (DE) is over 7 in the conditions. Thin layer chromatography (TLC), column chromatography (CC), High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were used to analyze the product, the results show that the percent of sucrose polyoleate is over 70% in the product. The physicochemical properties of sucrose polyesters were compared with cooking oil. The results show that the qualities of sucrose polyesters are all up to the triglyceride.展开更多

The important features of an agent system such as the latency of the network infrastructure, dynamic topology, and node heterogeneity impose new challenges on the task allocation in Multi-Agent environments. Based on the traditional parallel computing task allocation method and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), a novel task allocation method named Collection Path Ant Colony Optimization (CPACO) is proposed to achieve global optimization and reduce processing time. The existing problems of ACO are analyzed; CPACO overcomes such problems by modifying the heuristic function and the update strategy in the Ant-Cycle Model and establishing a threedimensional path pheromone storage space. The experimental results show that CPACO consumed only 10.3% of the time taken by the Global Search Algorithm and exhibited better performance than the Forward Optimal Heuristic Algorithm.展开更多

This invokes relentless efforts to further our understanding of the basic science of water. Current challenges to achieve a molecular picture of the peculiar properties and behavior of water are discussed herein, with a particular focus on the structure and dynamics of bulk and surface water, the molecular mechanisms of water wetting and splitting, application-oriented research on water decontamination and desalination, and the development of complementary techniques for probing water at the nanoscale.展开更多

It realizes the sublation of theory and ideology by means of critical, explanatory and constructive logic, displaying a unique theoretical originality. Lenin's theory of imperialism offers a theoretical reflection on the development of capitalism and its historical trends; it is a practical response to the world structural contradictions arising from imperialism, an epochal reflection that vigorously explores and constructs the value claims of a new civilization and provides in-depth Marxist view of world history. The methodology and general principles of Lenin's study of imperialism are based on the materialist view of history. They are not out of date, nor are the propositions in his theory of imperialism, based as they are on research into monopoly. At the same time as it declared war on the values, systems and practices of the old world, Lenin's theory provided a completely new cognitive method, philosophical attitude and ideal values for the future society. This has become the precious wealth of mankind, wealth that transcends historical time and space.展开更多

The process performance index (when a process indicated by control charts is under control) and the percentage of defective products are calculated and compared with kσ. Finally, compared 6σ with 3σ, when process is on nominal (nominal - mean), the process has 1.5σ shift from nominal.展开更多
