The density and speed of sound data have been used to calculate various volumetric and compressibility parameters such as apparent molar volume (Vφ), isentropic compressibil- ity (κs), apparent molar adiabatic compression (κs,φ) to get a better insight into the micellization mechanism of bile salts. Further, the viscosity data have been studied in the light of relative viscosity (ηr) and viscous relaxation time (τ). Some derived parameters such as free volume (νf), internal pressure (πi) and molar cohesive energy (MCE) of NaC and NaDC in aqueous solution of saccharides have also been calculated from viscosity data in con- junction with density and speed of sound values. All the calculated and derived parameters provide qualitative information regarding the nature of interactions i.e. solute-solute, solute-solvent and solvent-solvent in the solution.展开更多

A thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) was applied for monitoring the mass loss profiles under heating rate of 10℃·min^-1. Results obtained from this comprehensive investigation indicated that PLA was decomposed in the temperature range 300 -372℃, whereas the thermal degradation temperature of biomass is 183-462℃. The difference of mass loss (AW) between experimental and theoretical ones, calculated as algebraic sums of those from each separated component, is about 17%-46% at 300-400℃. These experimental results indicated a significant synergistic effect during PLA and biomass copyrolysis. Moreover, a kinetic analysis was performed to fit thermogravimetric data, the global processes being considered as one to two consecutive reactions. A reasonable fit to the experimental data was obtained for all materials and their blends.展开更多

Phase diagram of the four components, alcohol, sodium dodecyl sulfonate,water and isooctane, was used as a means of study, through which the microemulsion regions weredetermined. Phase diagram of sodium dodecyl sulfonate/n-pentanol/isooctane/water system at κ_m = 2(κ_m = W_(n-pentanol)/W_(SDS)) is presented. The variation of conductivities of differentmicroemulsion samples with water was measured. From the conductivities we investigated a change instructure from water droplets in oil (W/O) at low water content to liquid crystal at intermediatewater content and a stricture of oil droplets in water (O/W) at high water content.展开更多

The effect of temperature, pressure and initial gas-liquid ratio on the hydrate formation was studied, respectively. The data were obtained at pressures ranging from 3.5 to 5 MPa and temperatur.es from 274.15 to 277.15 K. The results showed that hydrogen and methane can be separated Irom the (~2+ ti'action by tOrming hydrate at around 273.15 K which is much higher temperature than that of the cryogenic separation method, and the hydrate formation rate can be enhanced in the wa- ter-in-oil emulsion compared to pure water. The experiments provided the basic data for designing the industrial process, and setting the suitable operational conditions. The measured data ot gas-hydrate equilibria were compared with the predictions by using the Chen-Guo hydrate thermodynamic model.展开更多

The organics used is commercial kerosene. The volume ratio of water to organics is 1︰1. The results show that the type and valence of electrolyte cations are important factors influencing the microemulsion behavior. Biva-lent Ca2+is more effective than monovalent K+and Na+for the formation of Winsor type III and II microemulsion. For electrolytes with the same monovalent cation Na+, i.e. NaCl and Na2CO3, anions in the electrolyte have some effect. Bivalent anion 23CO - leads to a lower activity of cation Na+than monovalent anion Cl-. NaOH (or KOH) behaves similar with NaCl (or KCl). When HCl is used as electrolyte, its acidity plays an important role. Phase in-version of microemulsion from type III (or II) to type I is observed through precipitation of Ca2+using Na2CO3, neutralization of HCl by NaOH, and addition of water to the system, which releases the oil from the microemulsion.展开更多

METHODS: Papilloma virus (PV) and HPV were determined by UltrasensiveTM S-P immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization (ISH) in esophageal carcinoma tissues (82 cases) and the normal mucosa (40 cases). RESULTS: IHC revealed that the positive rate of PV was 75.0%, 68.18% and 72.5% respectively while the HPV (16/18-E6) positive rate was 45.0%, 36.36%, 37.5%, respectively in esophageal carcinoma tissue specimens from Henan emigrants,the local citizens and patients in Hubei Cancer Hospital. The PV and HPV (16/18-E6) were negative in all normal esophageal mucosa specimens. No correlation was found between HPV in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma tissues and in grade 1-3 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cells. In situ hybridization showed that the HPV (16/18) DNA positive rate was 30.0%, 31.8%, 25.0%, respectively in the 3 groups of samples. No positive hybridization signal was found in 40 normal esophageal mucosa specimens. The positive rate of HPV (16/18) DNA in the esophageal carcinoma specimens was significantly higher than that in normal mucosa specimens (P〈0.05). The positive rate was not different among the 3 groups of esophageal carcinoma tissue specimens (P〉0.05).CONCLUSION: HPV infection is high in esophageal carcinoma of Henan emigrants, local residents and patients in Hubei Cancer Hospital. HPV is closely related with esophageal squarnous cell carcinoma. HPV infection may play an important role in esophageal squarnous cell carcinoma.展开更多

This is a well-known behavior especially in birds. There are many studies about mobbing in birds, and most of them use owls as a model of predator. However it is not clear how mobbing works when a predator assume a role of a prey. In this paper we organize field observations, which were taken on records of mobbing behaviors performed by owls or by other animals against them. These observations were collected nearby four Brazilian cities in South-Eastern and Central Brazil: Joao Monlevade / MG, Sacramento / MG Baguari / MG and Cacu / GO. Events of mobbing behavior have always involved prey(s) and predator(s) thus, in this study we presents mobbing events which species of owl always were involved, and beside the owls, other animals like mammals or raptors. These records are important due to their infrequency and problems to be detected in natural field conditions. It is rare mobbing events when an owl assumes a role of a prey, and there are few studies that show the mobbing by the predator optics. The present data may contribute for elucidation of mobbing behavior intrinsic aspects.展开更多

The equilibrium sorption amount of CO2 in PLLA increased with lowering temperature and elevating pressure at the temperature range from 40 to 60 ℃ and pressure from 10^4 to 2x10^4 kPa. Desorption diffusion coefficients were greatly influenced by the equilibrium sorption amount, and they were in the same order of magnitude as the sorption diffusion coefficients. The scan electron microscope (SEM) photos demonstrated that there was no foaming phenomenon of the PLLA film during desorption and sorption processes. The XRD spectra implied that the crystalline degree of PLLA film decreased after CO2 processing. It was concluded that PLLA polymer could be well swollen and plasticized by supercritical CO2.展开更多

To investigate the genetic susceptibility for breast cancer of Chinese, a hospital-based case-control study, pedigree survey and molecular genetic study were conducted. Methods. Logistic regression model and stratification methods were used in the risk factors analysis. Li-Mantel-Gart and Falconer methods were used to analyze the segregation ratio and heritability. Polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were used to detect AI, G-banding technique was used to detect the chromosome aberration of peripheral blood lymphocyte. Results. Family history of breast cancer is related to enhanced breast cancer risk significantly, OR is 3905(95%CI=1079~1413), and it widely interacts with other risk factors. Accumulative incidence of breast cancer in first degree relatives is 999%, which is larger than that in second, third degree and non-blood relatives. Segregation ratio is 0021, heritability among first degree relatives is 356±58%. Frequencies of LOH at BRCA1 and BRCA2 loci in sporadic breast cancer are 612% and 577% respectively. In the sibs, both of them show LOH at D13S173 locus, and high frequencies of chromosome aberrations were observed. Conclusions. Genetic susceptibility contributes to breast cancer occurrence of Chinese, and its racial variation may be one of the important reasons for the large difference of incidence between western and eastern countries.展开更多
