According to the measured levels of UV radiation, aging tests of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) asphalts with different contents of three anti-UV-aging agents including nano-TiO2, CeO2 and carbon black are performed. Common indices, which include retained penetration after thin film oven tests (TFOT) and softening point, and strategic highway research program (SHRP) indices of aged asphalts are evaluated. Infrared absorption spectral analysis is performed on asphalt specimens with 0. 8% carbon black which have been aged for different aging times (500, 1000 and 1 500 h). By grey incidence analysis, the optimal contents of anti-UV-aging agents are determined. The results show that TiO2 and CeO2 are not only good UV absorbing or shielding agents, but also strong oxidants. Carbon black is a good anti-UV-aging agent, and its optimal content is about 0. 8% of asphalt weight. UV aging of asphalt mainly occurs in the early stages of aging. The longer the aging time, the more severe the aging of asphalt.展开更多

First, the reason behind the negative data is analyzed and a nonnegative constraint is imposed on the classic PCA. Then a set of nonnegative linear independence weight vectors of principal components is obtained, by which a lowdimensional space is constructed. Finally, a nonlinear optimization technique is used to determine the projection vectors of the high-dimensional multi-spectral data in the constructed space. Experimental results show that the proposed method can keep the reconstructed spectral data in [ 0, 1 ]. The precision of the space created by the proposed method is equivalent to or even higher than that by the PCA.展开更多

Among their composition, the main components are terpene compounds, which account for 93.926% (mass fraction, the same below) and 85.843% of essential oils extracted from Shatian shaddock peel and Sweet shaddock peel, respectively. Although nootkatone is the major contributor of shaddock characteristic scent, and its contents are 1.069% and 1.749% of essential oils from Sweet shaddock peel and Shatian shaddock peel, respectively. The results show that squeeze-steam distillation gives higher yield and good quality of essential oil and the compositions of essential oils from two kinds of shaddock peels are different, but the main contributors of the shaddock scent are the same.展开更多

Its microscopic and ultramicroscopic features are also well defined. Aim: The aim of this work was to study the involvement of catecholaminergic nerve fibers in the human skin neurofibromatosis. Bioptic fragments of the human skin have been harvested from healthy and diseased subjects. On these specimens the following analysis were performed: 1) light microscopic observation after colouring with hematoxyline-Eosine. 2) lmmunochemical staining for Protein Gene Product 9.5.3) Fluorescent staining for catecholaminergic nerve fibers. 4) Quantitative analysis of images by means of the Quantimet analyzer Leica. 5) Statistical analysis of the quantitative morphological data comparing the healthy with diseased subjects. Comparing the light microscopy images in normal and pathological subjects the authors can affirm that the skin neurofibromatosis induces a strong decrease of the nerve fibers cutted in small pieces and destroyed. Also the catecholaminergic nerve fibers are strongly reduced and destroyed. Quantitative analysis of images and statistical analysis of the morphological data confirm that neurofibromatosis induces strong changes of the skin nerve fibers. The authors' results confirm that the neurofibromatosis type 2 induces an almost total destruction of the skin nerve fibers.展开更多

The c DNA sequence of PHYA gene has a complete open reading frame(ORF, 293-6 682 bp), and it encodes a protein composed of 1 129 amino acids. The N-terminal of Fa PHYA is composed of GAF and Phytochrome domains, and its C-terminal contains two repeated PAS domains, one histidine kinase A domain and one histidine kinase-like ATPase domain. The homology analysis showed that the amino acid sequences of Fa PHYA of tall fescue and PHYAs of gramineous plants have higher homologies(85%), indicating close genetic relationships. However, the homologies between FaPHYA of tall fescue and PHYAs of monocotyledons are lower, indicating far genetic relationships.展开更多

The coal-pitch sample and the oxidized pitch residue were characterized by elementary analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), while the small molecular products were analyzed by a gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS). The results show that the highest oxygen content of oxidized coal pitch had been acquired at a reaction temperature of 50℃C, an 03 flow rate of 6300 mg/h and a reaction time of 4 h. Quite a lot of hydroxyls and carbonyls were introduced into the structure of the oxidized coal-pitch, while the small molecules produced mainly involve nonpolar aro- matic compounds, aromatic anhydride and quinone compounds. It is speculated that the mechanism is direct electrophilic oxidation in which the molecules of 03 directly attack the aromatic ring at its carbon atoms with high electron density, and then generate hydroxyl or carbonyl until the aromatic ring cracks. This study shows that 03 can make the fused aromatic ring of coal-pitch become oxidized and depoly- merized, and hence the ozonization of coal-pitch can be a potential method for obtaining oxygen- containing aromatic compounds.展开更多

The effect of different conditions of alkali pre-treatment on chemical properties of agar was evaluated. Agar was extracted by various concentrations of NaOH (4%, 6% and 8%) and heated at different temperatures (70 ℃, 75 ℃ and 80 ℃) for different durations (2 h, 2.75 h and 3.5 h). The yields-molecular weight (Mw) and sulfate contents of extracted agar were analysed and characterized by FTIR spectroscopy. The yield was significantly increased at these treatments from 23.29% to 30.86%. Mw studied by HPLC ranged from (.12.45 ± 0.21) × 10^5 to (8.60 ± 2.40) × 10^5 Da. FTIR bands show sulfate groups in C4 and C6 ofgalactose and no sulfate group were found on both C2 of galactose and C2 of 3,6-anhydrogalactose. All treatments showed a high sulfate content that ranged from 5.4% to 10.1%. These properties were found to be significantly affected by the alkali pre-treatment concentration (p 〈 0.05). In conclusion, agar extracted in this study was considered acceptable for industrial application and the optimal conditions for extraction were found to be at 6% NaOH at 70 ℃ for 2 hours.展开更多

In this study, it is carried out optimization of analytical conditions and validation for the analysis of irbesartan in plasma. Chromatography was performed on a C 18 column (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) under isocratic elution with acetonitrile-0.1% formic acid (46:54 v/v), pH 3.75. Detection was made at excitation 250 nm and emission 370 nm and analyses were run at a flow-rate of 1.0 mL/min at a temperature of 40 ℃. Losartan potassium was used as internal standard. Plasma extraction was done by deproteination with acetonitrile, mixed with vortex for 30 seconds, then centrifuged it at 10,000 rpm for 10 rain. In plasma validation, the recovery was 96.22%, and the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) in plasma was 2 ng/mL. The method also fulfill the criteria for accuracy and precision intra and inter day by normal values (%Diff) not exceed ± 15%. On the stability study, irbesartan in plasma temperature -20 ℃has been stable for 28 days.展开更多

The study was performed on population of thirty palm trees belonging to three cultivars of the oases of south-west Algeria TOUAT Gourara. The analytical protocol consists of a hot hydrochloric acid hydrolysis of I g of leaf material dried and ground. Structural analysis of compounds present in extracts was conducted by chromatographic and spectrophotometric techniques. Through the analysis of all HPLC profiles of phenolic acids, we have established three chemotypes: resistant with the highest heights, sensitive, with the lowest height, finally low sensitivity or tolerant with intermediate heights. The increased synthesis of C-glycoflavones, within diseased palms, can be seen as the first sign of plant response to fungal attack, or even as a defense mechanism so these flavonoids correspond to "pre-inhibitines". It has not been found qualitative differences between different cultivars studied. The merits of our work show a negative correlation between flavonoid content and the level of lignification in the date palm, suggests that the process of lignification is more rapid in resistant cultivars. We can say that there is a constitutive resistance.展开更多

The Hamiltonian of ultracold bosonic atoms in the honeycomb optical lattice is derived. We take the mean-field approximation and further solve the Hamiltonian with the numerical diagonalization method. We obtain the phase diagram and find that the Mort-insulator (MI), density wave (DW) and modulated superfluid (MS) phases appear. Furthermore, the phase diagram is analyzed according to the order parameter and the average number of particles.展开更多

The LOD and LOQ of impurity were 4.8 ng(S/N = 3) and 18.5 ng(S/N = 10),respectively.Intra-day RSD of main impurity and total impurity were 1.84%and 3.37%(n = 3);inter-day RSD of main impurity and total impurity were 4.84%and 7.58% (n = 9).The test solution was stable when stored at 4℃for 6 h.The impurity peaks of biapenem can be identified by chromatographic spectral correlation analysis using high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection data from the quality control method by calculating correlation coefficients without reference standards.Two hydrolysis degradation products with relative retention times(RRTs) of 0.528 and 0.743,two dimers with RRTs of 1.062 and 2.817 were identified in the quality control chromatogram.It provides a new way to identify impurity peaks by the routine HPLC-UV method.展开更多

However, true-color imaging of SWCNTs on substrates has not been reported, because of the extremely low scattering intensity of SWCNTs and the strong substrate scattering. Here we show that Rayleigh scattering can be greatly enhanced by the interface dipole enhancement effect. Consequently colorful SWCNTs on substrates can be directly imaged under an optical microscope by wide field supercontinuum laser illumination, which facilitates high throughput chirality assignment of individual SWCNTs. This approach, termed "Rayleigh imaging microscopy", is not restricted to SWCNTs, but widely applicable to a variety of nanomaterials, which enables the colorful nanoworld to be explored under optical microscopes.展开更多

Effects of different factors, such as temperature and pH, on PCNB biodegradation were studied. Strain pcnb-21 efficiently degraded PCNB at temperatures from 20 to 30 ℃ and initial pH values from 4 to 7, which might be the first time that a Labrys strain was found capable of eflClciently degrading PC1NB. The degradation of PCNB was affected by oxygen, and the degradation decreased with increasing aeration. Exogenous electron donors such as glucose, lactic acid and succinic acid promoted the biodegradation of PCNB, while electron acceptors such as sodium nitrite, sodium sulfate, sodium nitrate and sodium sulfate inhibited PCNB biodegradation. The degradation of PCNB in sterile and non-sterile soils by a green fluorescent protein (GFP)-labeled strain, pcnb-21-gfp, was also studied. Cells of pcnb-21-gfp efficiently degraded 100 mg kg-1 PCNB in sterile and non-sterile soils and could not be detected after 42 days. Strain pcnb-21 might be useful in bioremediating PCNB-polluted soils and environment.展开更多

The zinc porphyrin photosensitizer and the Co III-based catalyst unit are linked by axial coordination of a pyridyl group in the periphery of zinc-porphyrin to the cobalt centre of catalyst with different lengths of bridges. The apparent fluorescence quenching and lifetime decays of 1 and 2 were observed in comparison with their reference chromophores, Zn(PyTPP) (3) and Zn(apPyTPP) (4), suggesting a possibility for an intramolecular electron transfer from the singlet excited state of zinc porphyrin unit to the cobalt centre in the molecular devices. Photochemical H2-evolving studies show that complexes 1 and 2 are efficient molecular photocatalysts for visible light-driven H2 generation from water with triethylamine as a sacrificial electron donor in THF/H20, with turnover numbers up to 46 and 35 for 1 and 2, respectively. In contrast to these molecular devices, the multicomponent catalyst of zinc porphyrin and [Co(dmgH)2PyCl] did not show any fluorescence quenching and as a consequence, no H2 gas was detected by GC analysis in the presence of triethylamine with irradiation of visible light. The plausible mechanism for the photochemical H2 generation with these molecular devices is discussed.展开更多

文摘The red seaweed Melanothamnus somalensis was investigated as potential economic source of agar. The effect of different conditions of alkali pre-treatment on chemical properties of agar was evaluated. Agar was extracted by various concentrations of NaOH (4%, 6% and 8%) and heated at different temperatures (70 ℃, 75 ℃ and 80 ℃) for different durations (2 h, 2.75 h and 3.5 h). The yields-molecular weight (Mw) and sulfate contents of extracted agar were analysed and characterized by FTIR spectroscopy. The yield was significantly increased at these treatments from 23.29% to 30.86%. Mw studied by HPLC ranged from (.12.45 ± 0.21) × 10^5 to (8.60 ± 2.40) × 10^5 Da. FTIR bands show sulfate groups in C4 and C6 ofgalactose and no sulfate group were found on both C2 of galactose and C2 of 3,6-anhydrogalactose. All treatments showed a high sulfate content that ranged from 5.4% to 10.1%. These properties were found to be significantly affected by the alkali pre-treatment concentration (p 〈 0.05).

文摘Objective To determine the mRNA and protein levels of urokinase plasminogen activator receptors(u PAR) in bone marrow fluid and bone marrow tissue from multiple myeloma(MM) patients and assess association of u PAR level with prognosis of MM.Methods u PAR levels in bone marrow fluid of 22 MM patients at the stable and progressive stages and 18 iron deficiency anemia patients with normal bone marrow(control) were examined by ELISA.Furthermore,u PAR expression in bone marrow tissue was investigated by RT-PCR and Western blot,respectively.The distribution of u PAR in MM cells was examined using immunofluorescence staining.The pathological changes in different stages of MM patients were studied by HE staining.Results u PAR level in bone marrow fluid of MM patients(1.52±0.32 μg/ml) was found to be higher than that in the control group(0.98±0.15 μg/ml).Interestingly,u PAR protein(0.686±0.075 vs.0.372±0.043,P<0.05) and m RNA(2.51±0.46 vs.4.46±1.15,P<0.05) expression levels of MM patients at the progressive stage were significantly higher than those at the stable stage.The expression of u PAR in MM bone marrow was confirmed by immunofluorescence staining.Moreover,HE staining revealed a great increased number of nucleated cells and severe impairment of hematopoietic function in the bone marrow of patients with progressive-stage myeloma.Conclusion Our study reveals that u PAR expression is positively correlated with the development and progress of MM.
文摘Irbesartan is an antihypertensive drug whose concentration in blood is very small so it requires a sensitive method of analysis, selective and valid for analysis. In this study, it is carried out optimization of analytical conditions and validation for the analysis of irbesartan in plasma. Chromatography was performed on a C 18 column (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) under isocratic elution with acetonitrile-0.1% formic acid (46:54 v/v), pH 3.75. Detection was made at excitation 250 nm and emission 370 nm and analyses were run at a flow-rate of 1.0 mL/min at a temperature of 40 ℃. Losartan potassium was used as internal standard. Plasma extraction was done by deproteination with acetonitrile, mixed with vortex for 30 seconds, then centrifuged it at 10,000 rpm for 10 rain. In plasma validation, the recovery was 96.22%, and the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) in plasma was 2 ng/mL. The method also fulfill the criteria for accuracy and precision intra and inter day by normal values (%Diff) not exceed ± 15%. On the stability study, irbesartan in plasma temperature -20 ℃has been stable for 28 days.
文摘Because of socio-economic importance of date palm in North Africa, the scientific community has always followed the progression of parasitic disease that affects it. The study was performed on population of thirty palm trees belonging to three cultivars of the oases of south-west Algeria TOUAT Gourara. The analytical protocol consists of a hot hydrochloric acid hydrolysis of I g of leaf material dried and ground. Structural analysis of compounds present in extracts was conducted by chromatographic and spectrophotometric techniques. Through the analysis of all HPLC profiles of phenolic acids, we have established three chemotypes: resistant with the highest heights, sensitive, with the lowest height, finally low sensitivity or tolerant with intermediate heights. The increased synthesis of C-glycoflavones, within diseased palms, can be seen as the first sign of plant response to fungal attack, or even as a defense mechanism so these flavonoids correspond to "pre-inhibitines". It has not been found qualitative differences between different cultivars studied. The merits of our work show a negative correlation between flavonoid content and the level of lignification in the date palm, suggests that the process of lignification is more rapid in resistant cultivars. We can say that there is a constitutive resistance.

文摘We study the quantum phase transition of ultracold atoms in the honeycomb optical lattice. The Hamiltonian of ultracold bosonic atoms in the honeycomb optical lattice is derived. We take the mean-field approximation and further solve the Hamiltonian with the numerical diagonalization method. We obtain the phase diagram and find that the Mort-insulator (MI), density wave (DW) and modulated superfluid (MS) phases appear. Furthermore, the phase diagram is analyzed according to the order parameter and the average number of particles.

文摘An HPLC method for routine quality control of biapenem was established.A Dikma Diamonsil C_(18) column(250mm×4.6 mm,5μm) was used with diode array detection and single wavelength detection at 220 nm.The mobile phase was consisted of acetonitrile-0.1%triethylamine water(1:99,v/v).The liner range for biapenem quantification was 0.05-10.0 mg/mL(r^2= 0.999). The LOD and LOQ of impurity were 4.8 ng(S/N = 3) and 18.5 ng(S/N = 10),respectively.Intra-day RSD of main impurity and total impurity were 1.84%and 3.37%(n = 3);inter-day RSD of main impurity and total impurity were 4.84%and 7.58% (n = 9).The test solution was stable when stored at 4℃for 6 h.The impurity peaks of biapenem can be identified by chromatographic spectral correlation analysis using high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection data from the quality control method by calculating correlation coefficients without reference standards.Two hydrolysis degradation products with relative retention times(RRTs) of 0.528 and 0.743,two dimers with RRTs of 1.062 and 2.817 were identified in the quality control chromatogram.It provides a new way to identify impurity peaks by the routine HPLC-UV method.

文摘Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) illuminated by white light should appear colored due to resonance Rayleigh scattering. However, true-color imaging of SWCNTs on substrates has not been reported, because of the extremely low scattering intensity of SWCNTs and the strong substrate scattering. Here we show that Rayleigh scattering can be greatly enhanced by the interface dipole enhancement effect. Consequently colorful SWCNTs on substrates can be directly imaged under an optical microscope by wide field supercontinuum laser illumination, which facilitates high throughput chirality assignment of individual SWCNTs. This approach, termed "Rayleigh imaging microscopy", is not restricted to SWCNTs, but widely applicable to a variety of nanomaterials, which enables the colorful nanoworld to be explored under optical microscopes.

文摘A bacterial strain, pcnb-21, capable of degrading pentaehloronitrobenzene (PCNB) under aerobic and anoxic conditions, was isolated from a long-term PCNB-polluted soil by an enrichment culture technique and identified as Labrys portucalensis based upon its morphological, physiological and biochemical properties, as well as 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Effects of different factors, such as temperature and pH, on PCNB biodegradation were studied. Strain pcnb-21 efficiently degraded PCNB at temperatures from 20 to 30 ℃ and initial pH values from 4 to 7, which might be the first time that a Labrys strain was found capable of eflClciently degrading PC1NB. The degradation of PCNB was affected by oxygen, and the degradation decreased with increasing aeration. Exogenous electron donors such as glucose, lactic acid and succinic acid promoted the biodegradation of PCNB, while electron acceptors such as sodium nitrite, sodium sulfate, sodium nitrate and sodium sulfate inhibited PCNB biodegradation. The degradation of PCNB in sterile and non-sterile soils by a green fluorescent protein (GFP)-labeled strain, pcnb-21-gfp, was also studied. Cells of pcnb-21-gfp efficiently degraded 100 mg kg-1 PCNB in sterile and non-sterile soils and could not be detected after 42 days. Strain pcnb-21 might be useful in bioremediating PCNB-polluted soils and environment.

文摘Two new noble-metal-free molecular devices, [{Co(dmgH)2Cl}{Zn(PyTPP)}] (1, dmgH = dimethyloxime, PyTPP = 5-(4- pyridyl)-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin) and [{Co(dmgH)2Cl}{Zn(apPyTPP)}] (2, apPyTPP = 5-[4-(isonicotinamidyl)phenyl]- 10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin), for light-driven hydrogen generation were prepared and spectroscopically characterized. The zinc porphyrin photosensitizer and the Co III-based catalyst unit are linked by axial coordination of a pyridyl group in the periphery of zinc-porphyrin to the cobalt centre of catalyst with different lengths of bridges. The apparent fluorescence quenching and lifetime decays of 1 and 2 were observed in comparison with their reference chromophores, Zn(PyTPP) (3) and Zn(apPyTPP) (4), suggesting a possibility for an intramolecular electron transfer from the singlet excited state of zinc porphyrin unit to the cobalt centre in the molecular devices. Photochemical H2-evolving studies show that complexes 1 and 2 are efficient molecular photocatalysts for visible light-driven H2 generation from water with triethylamine as a sacrificial electron donor in THF/H20, with turnover numbers up to 46 and 35 for 1 and 2, respectively. In contrast to these molecular devices, the multicomponent catalyst of zinc porphyrin and [Co(dmgH)2PyCl] did not show any fluorescence quenching and as a consequence, no H2 gas was detected by GC analysis in the presence of triethylamine with irradiation of visible light. The plausible mechanism for the photochemical H2 generation with these molecular devices is discussed.
