To deal with the increasingly grave situation of offshore pollution, the EDSS for China seas has been researching and developing. Based on the prediction and analysis of the ocean three-dimensional current field, this system makes an inference on the possible path of diffusion and influencing area of marine pollutants and possible location of pollution source, and in combination with the environmentally sensitive information related to the technical integration of GIS, it puts forward the decision, making support for minimizing the hazard caused by pollutants. This system has been operationalized and running for many years on the Bohai and Huanghai seas' Marine Pollutants Prediction and Early-Warning, and it has achieved successful experience for many times in the emergencies of China's coastal pollution accidents. At present, the environmental guarantee system directed against heavy metals and radioactive pollutants is in the experimental stage. As the NAA method is especially applicable to the detection of part of heavy metals and radioactive substances, it is of very important practical value for the new system to realize the monitoring, prediction and early-warning of ocean heavy metals and radioactive pollutants.展开更多

Influence of surfacing modulus on the strain state of the overlay is analyzed for the purpose of the optimal design of the overlay structure. Analysis results show that the deformation of the whole bridge structure has no evident influence on the stress state of the overlay. The key factor of the overlay design is the transverse tensile strain in the overlay above the upper edge of web plate of rib. The stress state of the overlay is influenced evidently by the modulus of rigidity transform overlay. And the stress state of the overlay can be optimized and lowered by increasing the modulus and thickness of rigidity transform overlay, The fatigue test has been done to evaluate the fatigue performance and modulus of different deck pavement materials such as epoxy asphalt, SBS modified asphalt, rosphalt asphalt which can provide reference for deck pavement structure design.展开更多

To achieve molecular management in refining processes, a novel model that is based on structure oriented lumping(SOL) and group contribution(GC) methods was proposed in this study. SOL method was applied to describe a petroleum fraction with structural increments, and GC method aimed to estimate molecular properties. The latter was achieved by associating rules between SOL structural increments and GC structures. A three-step reconstruction algorithm was developed to build a representative set of molecules from partial analytical data. First, structural distribution parameters were optimized with several properties. Then, a molecular library was created by using the optimized parameters. In the final step, maximum information entropy(MIE) method was applied to obtain a molecular fraction. Two industrial samples were used to validate the method, and the simulation results of the feedstock properties agreed well with the experimental data.展开更多

In this work, molecular mechanics and normal mode analysis are used to probe how certain methylation affects the internal interactions and thermodynamic motions in the DNA double helixes in both B and Z conformations, and its implication to B-Z conformation change. By molecular modeling with Insight II, two cases involving cytosine C5 and guanine C8 methylation on both B and Z-form DNA duplex d(CGCGCG)2 are studied in comparison with the corresponding unmethylated duplexes. The internal interaction energies computed based on a molecular mechanics force field and the entropies due to internal motions computed according to a normal mode analysis are in fare agreement with respective observed thermodynamic quantities. The analysis on the computed individual energy terms suggests that the observed B-Z conformation change induced by methylation is primarily driven by enthalpic factors. A combination of changes in Van der Waals interaction, electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonding likely contributes to the change of enthalpy that favors Z-conformation in the methylated states.展开更多

For insight into the anti-toxic mechanism of the bacteria, a three-dimensional (3D) molecular structure of the protein encoded by this gene was built by homology modeling techniques, refined by molecular dynamics simulations, assessed by PROFILE-3D and PROSTAT programs and its key residues were further detected by evolutionary trace analysis. Through these procedures, some trace residues were identified and spatially clustered. Among them, the residues of Asn38, Glyl03 and Glul61 are randomly scattered throughout the mapped structure; interestingly, the other residues are all distinctly clustered in a subgroup near Fe atom. From these results, this gene can be confirmed at 3D level to encode the Fe-depending superoxide dismutase and subsequently play an anti-toxic role. Furthermore, the detected key residues around Fe binding site can be conjectured to be directly responsible for Fe binding and catalytic function.展开更多

Using quantum computation combined with experimental results of proximate analysis, ultimate analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), a structural model for the large molecular structure was constructed. By analyzing the bond lengths in the model molecule, the evolution law for the active structure of lignite was predicted for the process of low-temperature oxidation. In low-temperature oxidation,alkanes and hydroxyls are the primary active structures observed in lignite, though ether may also react. These active functional groups react with oxygen to release heat, thereby speeding up the reaction between coal and oxygen. Finally, the content of various functional groups in the process of lignite low-temperature oxidation was analyzed by infrared analysis, and the accuracy of the model was verified.展开更多

Conversions of benzothiophene and dibenzothiophene over the metal oxides modified ultra stable zeolite Y(USY), ZSM-5, β and MSU-2 molecular sieve catalysts were investigated by means of micro-activity test (MAT) experiments. The results showed that Zn and La loaded catalysts were better than the other metals, and ZSM-5 with lower SiO2/Al2O,3 mole ratio showed better results than those with higher SiO2/Al2O3 as far as desulfurization reaction is considered. A comparison of the desulfurization activities of the La/Zri-USY catalyst with USY catalyst indicated that the bimetal loaded USY catalyst gave good products selectivity when sulfur containing heavy oil was used as the feedstock. The sulfur content in gasoline fraction was decreased by 25%, and there was no loss in the Research Octane Number.展开更多

The variation of concentration of PHAOs in the Jiaozhou Bay is well simulated by the dynamic model. Based on the model, the ECo, SECo of water with respect to PHAOs in the Jiaozhou Bay were calculated during the last 10 years under the first-class and second-class quality standard requirement, according to SPCO of main self-purification process to PHAOs. The results show that about 200 tons of PHAOs could be discharged into the Jiaozhou Bay for maintaining the first class seawater quality standard, and about 600 tons of PHAOs for the second class seawater quality standard later.展开更多

Simulation results were analyzed using the Langmuir model, which presented fitting of dry gas components adsorption to be suggested as the monolayer adsorption. C_2H_4 presented most single adsorption amount, which reached 7.63 mol/kg at 298K under a pressure of 200kPa. Thermodynamic parameters of the Gibbs free energy change, enthalpy change and entropy change were analyzed based on adsorption equilibrium constant obtained from the GCMC simulations. The results suggested that it was more favorable for C_2H_4 to be adsorbed in zeolite Y. Adsorption molecules were in ordered arrangement in the zeolite, and C_2H_4 exhibited a more orderly arrangement than other components. Additionally, a competition in the adsorption of a mixture of dry gas components was found, and supercages were the priority adsorption space. The competition was favorable to CH_4 and C_2H_6, and the competitive power was affected by temperature.展开更多

The influence of olefins on adsorptive desulfurization of model fuel had been investigated by FT-IR techniques, which revealed that the protons in the zeolites were the sites responsible for the adsorption of olefins. On the CeY zeolite, in the presence of strong hydroxyl species in the zeolites, the adsorbed olefin compounds can attach to the protons molecularly via electrophilic interaction and undergo the opening of the C=C bonds depending on the acidity of the zeolites. The reduced desulfurization performance of CeY zeolite was attributed to the direct occupation of the absorbent's active sites by olefins. In contrast to the CeY zeolite, the NiY zeolites were unable to react directly with pure olefins. However the sulfur compounds and olefins adsorbed on the protons may subsequently undergo olefin alkylation reactions, which can block the zeolite pores and then prevent sulfide molecules from having access to super-cages to contact with the metal cations. This work demonstrates also that the NiY zeolites exhibit excellent performance for selective adsorption desulfurization of model fuel containing olefin compounds.展开更多

With the enhancement of the π-conjugated system, their absorption and emission bands both gradually red shift, and their two-photon properties are also improved. Meanwhile, their fluorescence dynamic traces are analyzed with continuous rate distribution model, exhibiting that their decay rates gradually accelerate and the rate distribution width become narrower. The quantum chemical calculation offers their molecular structures and transition mechanism, showing that the enhancement of π-conjugated system should be responsible for tile improvement of two-photon properties.展开更多

With the enhancement of the π-conjugated system, their absorption and emission bands both gradually red shift, and their two-photon properties are also improved. Meanwhile, their fluorescence dynamic traces are analyzed with continuous rate distribution model, exhibiting that their decay rates gradually accelerate and the rate distribution width become narrower. The quantum chemical calculation offers their molecular structures and transition mechanism, showing that the enhancement of π-conjugated system should be responsible for tile improvement of two-photon properties.

文摘ZnS:Mn2+ nanocrystals(NCs) with particle size from 1.9 nm to 3.2 nm are synthesized via chemical precipitation method with different [S2-]/[Zn2+] ratios.The size-dependent decay for Mn emission exhibits a double exponential behavior.And two lifetime values,in millisecond time domain,can both be shortened with size increasing,which is attributed to enhanced interaction between host and Mn2+ impurity.A molecular structure model is proposed to interpret the tendency of two lifetime components,which is correlated to the number of S vacancy(Vs) defects around Mn2+.
