自我的涌现

自我根本上是由其目的论属性所定义的。自我是与生命相关联的,具有复杂大脑的生物所经验到的自我,在许多方面是由有机体存在的自我所涌现的。从主体性问题回到对有机体维持、保护和繁殖自身的原因分析,可以得到一种解决问题的视角。我们相信存在一种科学性的说明,可以解释自然界的目的论过程如何从非目的论的前件中产生,这有赖于一种形式因果关系调解从动力因果关系到目的因果关系的涌现。那么,什么能够构成这个过程中的自主性?依据康德,我们认为一种双重自反的形式生成的动力学构成了自然目的生成的关键程序,或者说,一个自我是以一种双向自反方式而组织的,具有以自反的方式组织的自反性和因果关系的循环递归性。然而,关于人类自我的主体经验成分还有待说明。在解释主观自我时,一个重要的模型在于阐明拥有大脑的生物体的出现是演化阶段上一次特殊的水平跃迁,并引发全新的自我动力学涌现领域,人类大脑所具有的超个体符号工具,增加了又一层自反性循环,从而能够产生目的论关系和更高级的主体形式。

Oxidation of Pyridine Bases by Hydrogen Peroxide

The interfering kinetics of the coherent synchronous reactions of hydrogen peroxide decomposition and the oxidation of pyridine derivatives have been studied experimentally. The regions of the selective oxidation of the pyridine derivatives have been found, and the optimal conditions for the production of4-vynilpyridine, 4-vynilpyridine N-monoxide, 2, 2-dipyridyl, and pyridine have been determined. The most probable synchronization mechanism is suggested for hydrogen peroxide decomposition and the free-radical chain oxidation of pyridine derivatives. The HO2 -radical plays the key role in this mechanism. The activation energies are calculated for the elementary steps of 4-ethylpyridine dehydrogenation.

Kinetics and Mechanism of Catalytic Reduction of U(Ⅵ)with Hydrazine on Platinum Catalysts in Nitric Acid Media

The kinetics of U(IV)produced by hydrazine reduction of U(VI)with platinum as a catalyst in nitric acid media was studied to reveal the reaction mechanism and optimize the reaction process.Electron spin resonance(ESR)was used to determine the influence of nitric acid oxidation.The effects of nitric acid,hydrazine,U(VI)concentration,catalyst dosage and temperature on the reaction rate were also studied.In addition,the simulation of the reaction process was performed using density functional theory.The results show that the influence of oxidation on the main reaction is limited when the concentration of nitric acid is below 0.5 mol/L.The reaction kinetics equation below the concentration of 0.5 mol/L is found as:−dc(UO_(2)^(2+))/dt=kc^(0.5323)(UO_(2)^(2+))c^(0.2074)(N_(2)H_(5)^(+))c^(−0.2009)(H^(+)).When the temperature is 50℃,and the solid/liquid ratio r is 0.0667 g/mL,the reaction kinetics constant is k=0.00199(mol/L)^(0.4712)/min.Between 20℃ and 80℃,the reaction rate gradually increases with the increase of temperature,and changes from chemically controlled to diffusion-controlled.The simulations of density functional theory give further insight into the influence of various factors on the reaction process,with which the reaction mechanisms are determined according to the reaction kinetics and the simulation results.

Reaction Kinetics of Trans-Sobrerol and 8-p-Menthen-1,2-diol with Hydroxyl Radical in Aqueous Solution： A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Study

Trans-sobrerol （Sob） and 8-p-menthen-1,2-diol （Limo-diol） are the primary products in the atmospheric oxidation of α-pinene and limonene, respectively. Because of their low volatility, they associate more likely to the liquid particles in the atmosphere, where they are subject to the aqueous phase oxidation by the atmospheric oxidants. In this work, through experimental and theoretical study, we first provide the rate constants of Sob and Limo-diol reacting with hydroxyl radical （.OH） in aqueous solution at room temperature of 3044-3 K and 1 atm pressure, which are （3.05±0.5）×10 9 and （4.57±0.2）×10 9 L/（mol.s）, respectively. Quantum chemistry calculations have also been employed to demonstrate the solvent effect on the rate constants in aqueous phase and the calculated results agree well with the measurements. Some reaction products have been identified based on liquid chromatography combined with mass spectroscopy and theoretical calculations.

Kinetics of Oxidation of Lactose with Photochemically Generated Radicals

Lactose milk sugar is found only in the milk of mammals. In order to understand the mechanism of oxidation of lactose, a systematic kinetic study of oxidation of lactose with photochemicaUy generated radicals was carried out. The reaction has a first order dependence on chloramine-T as well as on substrate. The reaction is catalysed by H＋ ions as well. On the basis of kinetic results and product analysis a probable mechanism were suggested.

Chemical Dynamics Simulations of the Hydroxyl Radical Reaction with Ethene

We present a theoretical study of the reaction of the hydroxyl radical with ethene using electronic structure calculations and direct-dynamics simulations. High-accuracy electronic structure calculations at the CCSD（T）/aug-cc-pVTZ//MP2/aug-ce-pVDZ level have been carried out to characterize the representative regions of the potential energy surface of various reaction pathways, including OH-addition and H-abstraction. These ab initio calculations have been employed to derive an improved set of parameters for the MSINDO semiempirieal Hamiltonian specific to the OH＋C2H4 reaction. The specific-reaction-parameter Hamilto- nian captures the ab initio data accurately, and has been used to perform direct quasiclassica] trajectory simulations of the OH＋C2H4 reaction at collision energies in the range of 2-10 kcal/mol. The calculated cross sections reveal that the OH-addition reaction domi- nates at all energies over H-abstraction. In addition, the excitation function of addition is reminiscent of a barrierless capture process, while that for abstraction corresponds to an activated one, and these trends can be connected to the transition-state energies of both reactions. We note that the development of an accurate semiempirical Hamiltonian for the OH＋C2H4 reaction in this work required the inclusion of empirical dispersion corrections, which will be important in future applications for which long-range intermoleeular attraction becomes significant.

Edge-enriched MoS@C/rGO film as self-standing anodes for high-capacity and long-life lithium-ion batteries

Restraining the aggregation and polysulfide dissolution of edge-enriched metal sulfides is of significance for their applications as anode materials of lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)with high capacity and long cycle-life.In this work,we have reported the incorporation of MoS2 nanocrystals into amorphous carbon on the surface of reduced graphene oxide(rGO)by balancing the decomposition rates of phenolic resin(PF)-impregnated ammonium thiomolybdate(ATM),which subsequently forms the MoS2@C/rGO film through redispersion and vacuum filtration.Such structural design effectively avoids the aggregation of MoS2 nanocrystals and Li2S loss,and meanwhile ion enrichment in amorphous carbon and diffusion reinforcement can greatly accelerate the electrochemical reaction kinetics.When applied as the selfstanding anode,the MoS2@C/rGO film possesses high reversible capacities of 1164 mA h g^-1 at the current density of 0.2 A g^-1 and 810 mA h g^-1 at 6.4 A g^-1.It also exhibits quite a high capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 3.2 A g^-1.This work develops the formation theory of incorporation structures and promotes their applications in energy storage devices.
