The samples were hot compressed by thermal simulation method with different processing parameters. Variant selection induced by stress during cooling after compression was found. The prismatical texture component which featured that the [0001] direction perpendicular to the compressing direction produced preferentially under the compressing stress. As a result, the transformedα phase possesses strong prismatical texture which is different with the basal texture of compressed αphase. The minimum elastic strain energy is demonstrated to be the main reason that causes the variant selection. Dynamic recrystallization behavior and microstructure evolution during hot compression were also studied.展开更多

By implementing different building blocks with different types of devices,a high purity frequency synthesizer with excellent spur and phase noise performance has been realized. All the building blocks are implemented with differential topology except for the off-chip loop filter. To further reduce the phase noise,bonding wires are used to form the resonator in the LC-VCO. The frequency synthesizer operates from 2.39 to 2.72GHz with output power of about 0dBm. The measured closed-loop phase noise is - 95dBc/Hz at 100kHz offset and - 116dBc/Hz at 1MHz offset from the carrier. The power level of the reference spur is less than - 72dBc. With a 3V power supply, the whole chip including the output buffers consumes 60mA.展开更多

To avoid the undesirable side reactions between hydriodic acid(HI) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4), it is necessary to purify the two phases formed by the Bunsen reaction. The purification process could be achieved by reverse reaction of the Bunsen reaction. In this study, the purification of the H2SO4 and HI Phases was studied. The purification proceeded in both batches and the continuous mode, the influences of operational parameters, including the reaction temperature, the flow rate of nitrogen gas, and the composition of the raw material solutions, on the purification effect, were investigated. Results showed that the purification of the H2SO4 phase was dominantly-affected by the reaction temperature, and iodine ion in the sulfuric acid phase could be removed completely when the temperature was above 130℃; although, the purification effect of the HI phase improved with increasing of both the flow rate of nitrogen gas and temperature.展开更多

This esterase was overexpressed in E. coli BL21(DE3) and further functionally characterized. Under optimal conditions(10 mmol/L substrate, p H 6.0, 2 h at 40 ℃), this esterase can hydrolyze racemic methyl mandelate to( R)-methyl mandelate with very high optical purity(e. e. 〉99%) and yield(nearly 90%). Interestingly, the stereoselectivity of this esterase is opposite to that of two previously reported lipases that can generate( S)-methyl mandelate through the hydrolysis of racemic methyl mandelate. No organic solvents or other additives were required to optimize the optical purity and production of the fi nal chiral product(R)-methyl mandelate, which can potentially simplify the production procedure of( R)-methyl mandelate catalyzed by esterase.展开更多

The optimization efficiency ...A robust phase-only Direct Data Domain Least Squares (D3LS) algorithm based on gen- eralized Rayleigh quotient optimization using hybrid Genetic Algorithm (GA) is presented in this letter. The optimization efficiency and computational speed are improved via the hybrid GA com- posed of standard GA and Nelder-Mead simplex algorithms. First, the objective function, with a form of generalized Rayleigh quotient, is derived via the standard D3LS algorithm. It is then taken as a fitness function and the unknown phases of all adaptive weights are taken as decision variables. Then, the nonlinear optimization is performed via the hybrid GA to obtain the optimized solution of phase-only adaptive weights. As a phase-only adaptive algorithm, the proposed algorithm is sim- pler than conventional algorithms when it comes to hardware implementation. Moreover, it proc- esses only a single snapshot data as opposed to forming sample covariance matrix and operating matrix inversion. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has a good signal recovery and interferences nulling performance, which are superior to that of the phase-only D3LS algorithm based on standard GA.展开更多

Generally, the dissimilar joints between Ti and stainless steel were dominated by the Ti-based intermetallic compounds (IMCs), e.g. (Ti, Zr)2(Fe, Ni), TiFe, TiCu, and Ti2(Fe, Ni), due to a significant dissolution of Ti from the base metal. The (Fe-Cr) cr phase was also observed near the stainless steel due to a segregation of Cr into the interface region. This research demonstrates empirically that the brittleness of the Ti and stainless steel joint can not be avoided only by applying single braze alloy or single insert metal, and thus an introduction of additional suitable interlayer between the filler alloy and the base metal is necessary to prevent the brittleness of the joint.展开更多

For this purpose, we study the effects and electronic state densities of atomic hydrogen and nitrogen in pure tungsten, in order to analyze some important properties such as the density of states of the system. Focusing on this application, this work is a preliminary study of the behavior of atoms of hydrogen and nitrogen, on a surface of tungsten on the three sites of the cell: top, hollow and bridge. We use a program simulation based on the DFT (density functional theory) implemented in the Open-Source Code Quantum Espresso, in order to obtain the adsorption energy and the density of states of the systems.展开更多

After protein precipitation of a plasma sample using pure methanol and evaporation of the supernatant to dryness, methanol of various concentrations from 10% to 100% were used to dissolve the remaining residues with the goal of maximizing drug recovery and impurity elimination. Through rigorous screening with HPLC peaks from residual impurity and recovered drug as the criteria, a methanol concentration of 30% was chosen. The standard curve was linear (r2〉 0.999) over the range of 2-160 ng/mL with a limit of quantification (LOQ) of 2 ng/mL. Intra- and inter-day precision values were below 15%, and the accuracy ranged from -1.70% to 5.88% at all three quality control (QC) levels. The wavelength of maximum absorption was 238 nm, and a smaller LOQ value of 2 ng/mL was achieved compared with the reported method. The revised method was successfully applied in a pharmacokinetic study of Nimodipine in rats and sample preparations of lidocaine hydrochloride.展开更多

文摘The protein encoded by HSRG1(HSV-1 stimulation-related gene 1) is a virally induced protein expressed in HSV-1-infected cells.We have already reported that HSRG1 is capable of interacting with transcriptional regulator proteins.To further analyze the effects of HSRG1 on the regulation of viral gene transcription,we expressed the HSRG1 protein in transfected cells and found that it postpones the proliferation of HSV-1.CAT(chloramphenicol acetyltransferase) assays also revealed that HSRG1 reduces transcription from HSV-1 promoters.Yeast two-hybrid and immunoprecipitation assays indicated that HSRG1 interacts with Cyclin T2,the regulatory subunit of P-TEFb,which is required for transcription elongation by RNA Pol II(RNAP II) ,and that amino acid residues 1-420 in Cyclin T2 are important for binding with HSRG1.Fluorescence assays suggested that the cellular localizations of those two proteins are influenced by their interaction.Further analyses with CAT assays revealed that HSRG1 inhibits the transcriptional activation by Cyclin T2 of viral promoters.Our results suggested that the inhibitory effects of HSRG1 on viral replication and proliferation are probably induced by its binding to Cyclin T2.Therefore,it is likely that HSRG1 inhibits viral gene transcriptional elongation by interacting with Cyclin T2.
