Wu et Y. C. Huang. Their structures were elucidated as 4,5,11_trimethyl_8,9_seco_1(10),7(11)_eremophiladien_8,12_olid_9_oic acid (1), 2,9_dioxoeuryopsin (2) and 9_oxoeuryopsin (3) by spectral methods. The 1H_NMR and 13 C NMR data of compounds 1, 2 and 3 were unambiguously assigned on the basis of two_dimensional NMR spectroscopy.展开更多

The results revealed different rotary properties between barotropic and baroclinic tidal currents. The barotropic and baroclinic tidal currents rotate elliptically counter-clockwise and clockwise, respectively. Meanwhile, baroclinic bottom tidal currents are almost along-isobath. The baroclinic cross-isobath velocities attenuate quickly at the bottom, implying important effects of bottom topography on the cross-isobath motions.展开更多

Due to their non-periodic and non-uniform spectrum, RS are widely used in low-frequency noise processing, Doppler spectrum estimation and time-frequency analysis. However, the traditional method for calculating RS values is rather complex since it requires two numbers' factorization in two arithmetic functions. For a length-n vector, its Ramanujan-Fourier transform usually involves a series of RS values which will occupy O(n2) memory units. Thus, in this paper an approach based on prime-composition is proposed to reduce the complexity of RS calculation to O(n). Meanwhile, the complexity of Ramanujan-Fourier transform can be further reduced from O(n2) to O(n In(In(n))) .展开更多

The results show that the presence of S. metallicus effectively enhances the dissolution of the mineral. The yield of zinc increases from 0.5 g/L in sterile control to 2.7 g/L in bioleaching. The pyrite in the concentrate facilitates zinc dissolution in the early stage, but has hindrance role in the late stage for the formation of jarosite. Sulfur speciation analyses show that jarosite and elemental sulfur are main products in bioleaching process, and the accumulation ofjarosite is mainly responsible for the decline of leaching efficiency.展开更多

At present, a rapid HPLC analysis method to simultaneously determine two major coumarins, hainanmurpanin (1) and meranzin (2), and one main flavonoid, 3,5,6,7,3',4',5'-heptamethoxyflavone (3), from the leaves and twigs of M. exotica was established. The analysis was performed on a DIKMA Spursil C18 column (4.6 minx250 mm, 5 ~m) at a flow rate of 1 mL/min, using acetonitrile-H20 (5:5, v/v) as mobile phase. The column temperature was 25 ^(2, and the detected wavelength was at 320 nm. The three analytes (1-3) were separated well with good linearity, precision, stability and repeatability. The average recoveries were in the range of 100.52%-101.97%, with RSD less than 1.73%. Twenty batches of M. exotica from different habitats were detected, and the sum of the contents of 1-3 was in the range of 1.55-7.45 mg/g, respectively. Besides, the contents of these three analytes were also determined for the samples from different medicinal parts (stems, lateral branches, mixture of twigs and leaves) and different harvest times. The results showed that the contents of these three analytes in leaves and twigs are much higher than those in the stems or lateral branches; the plants harvested from June or October contain more active compounds than those from the other months. The above results proved that this high performance and simple HPLC assay can be readily utilized as a practical method for the quality control of M. exotica.展开更多

The synthetic process and stability of the L-ascorbic acid-stabilized Cu-CTS nanocomposites were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier transform Infrared spectroscopy. The antimicrobial efficiency and potency of the Cu-CTS nanocomposites were studied. The Cu-CTS nanocomposites were found to exhibit a broad antimicrobial spectrum and high antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacterial pathogen Staphylococcus aureus and fungal pathogen Monilia albican. The minimum inhibitory concentration of the Cu-CTS nanocomposites toward S. aureus was found to be 6.4 μg mL^-1, much lower than those reported in the literature. Furthermore, the Cu-CTS nanocomposites were stable and main- tained good disinfection potential even after 90-day shelf-time under ambient conditions.展开更多

The saline soil and groundwater depth data of the county in 1981 were obtained to serve as a historical reference. Electrical conductivity (EC) of 293 surface soil samples taken from 2 kin x 2 km grids in 2007 and 4{) soil profiles acquired in 2(108 was analyzed and used for comparative mapping. Ordinary kriging was applied to predict EC at unobserved locations to derive the horizontal and vertical distribution patterns and variation of soil salinity. Groundwater table data from 22 observation wells in 2008 were collected and used as input for regression kriging to predict the maximum groundwater depth of the county in 2008. Changes in the groundwater level of Fengqiu County in 27 years from 1981 to 2008 was calculated. Two quantitative criteria, the mean error or bias (ME) and the mean squared error (MSE), were computed to assess the estimation accuracy of the kriging predictions. The results demonstrated that the soil salinity in the upper soil layers decreased dramatically and the taxonomically defined saline soils were present only in a few micro-landscapes after 27 years. Presently, the soils with relatively elevated salt content were mainly distributed in depressions along the Yellow River bed. The reduction in surface soil salinity corresponded to the locations with deepened maximum groundwater depth. It could be concluded that groundwater table recession allowed water to move deeper into the soil profile, transporting salts with it, and thus played an important role in reducing soil salinity in this region. Accumulation of salts in the soil profiles at various depths below the surface indicated that secondary soil salinization would occur when the groundwater was not controlled at a safe depth.展开更多
