Investigation on Non-covalent Complexes of Cyclodextrins with Li＋ in Gas Phase by Mass Spectrometry

To investigate the non-covalent interaction between cyclodextrins （CD） and lithium ion, a stoichiometry of α-CD, β-CD, heptakis（2,6-di-O-methyl）-β-CD （DM-β-CD）, or heptakis（2,3,6-tri-O-methyl）-β-CD （TM-β-CD） was mixed with lithium salt, respectively, and then incubated at room temperature for 10 min to reach the equilibrium. In posi- tive mode, the electrospray ionization mass spectrometry （ESI-MS） results demonstrated that lithium ion can conjugate to α-, β-, DM-β- or TM-β-CD and form 1：1 stoichiometric non-covalent complexes. The binding of the complexes was further confirmed by collision- induced dissociation. The dissociation constants Kdl of four complexes （Li＋α-CD, Li＋β- CD, Li＋DM-β-CD, and Li＋TM-β-CD） were determined by mass spectrometric titration. The results showed Kdl were 18.7, 26.7, 33.6, 30.5 μmol/L for the complexes of Li＋ with α-CD, β-CD, DM-β-CD, and TM-β-CD, respectively. Kdl for the Li＋ complexes of/3-CD is smaller than that of DM-β-CD due to its steric effect of the partial substituted -CH3. The Kdl for the Li＋ complexes of DM-β-CD is nearly in agreement with that of TM-β-CD, indicating Li＋ is more likely to locate in the small rim of DM-β-CD＇s hydrophobic cavity. The DFT results showed through electrostatic interaction, one Li＋ can strongly conjugate to four neighboring oxygen atoms. For the （α-CD＋Li）＋ complex, one Li＋ may also situate the small rim of α-CD＇s hydrophobic cavity to form a non-specific host-guest complex.

Non-SMC condensin Ⅰ complex subunit D2 and non-SMC condensin Ⅱ complex subunit D3 induces inflammation via the IKK/NF-κB pathway in ulcerative colitis

BACKGROUND Ulcerative colitis(UC)is a chronic,nonspecific intestinal inflammatory disease with undefined pathogenesis.Non-SMC condensin I complex subunit D2(NCAPD2)and non-SMC condensin II complex subunit D3(NCAPD3)play pivotal roles in chromosome assembly and segregation during both mitosis and meiosis.To date,there has been no relevant report about the functional role of NCAPD2 and NCAPD3 in UC.AIM To determine the level of NCAPD2/3 in intestinal mucosa and explore the mechanisms of NCAPD2/3 in UC.METHODS Levels of NCAPD2/3 in intestinal tissue were detected in 30 UC patients and 30 healthy individuals with in situ hybridization(ISH).In vitro,NCM60 cells were divided into the NC group,model group,si-NCAPD2 group,si-NCAPD3 group and si-NCAPD2+si-NCAPD3 group.Inflammatory cytokines were measured by ELISA,IKK and NF-κB were evaluated by western blot,and IKK nucleation and NF-κB volume were analyzed by immunofluorescence assay.RESULTS Compared with expression in healthy individuals,NCAPD2 and NCAPD3 expression in intestinal tissue was significantly upregulated(P<0.001)in UC patients.Compared with levels in the model group,IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-αin the si-NCAPD2,si-NCAPD3 and si-NCAPD2+si-NCAPD3 groups were significantly downregulated(P<0.01).IKK and NF-κB protein expression in the si-NCAPD2,si-NCAPD3 and si-NCAPD2+si-NCAPD3 groups was significantly decreased(P<0.01).Moreover,IKK nucleation and NF-κB volume were suppressed upon si-NCAPD2,si-NCAPD3 and si-NCAPD2+si-NCAPD3 transfection.CONCLUSION NCAPD2/3 is highly expressed in the intestinal mucosa of patients with active UC.Overexpression of NCAPD2/3 promotes the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines by modulating the IKK/NF-κB signaling pathway.

The activation energy for the first stage is 255.18 kJ/mol, the entropy of activation DeltaS is 227.32 J/mol and the Gibbs free energy of activation DeltaG is 128.04 W/mol.

Low complexity method for spreading sequence estimation of DSSS signal in non-cooperative communication systems

It is a necessary step to estimate the spreading sequence of direct sequence spread spectrum （DSSS） signal for blind despreading and demodulation in non-cooperative communications. Two innovative and effective detection statistics are proposed to implement the synchronization and spreading sequence estimation procedure. The proposed algorithm also has a low computational complexity with only linear additions and modifications. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the algorithm performs quite well in low SNR environment, and is much better than all the existing typical algorithms with a comprehensive consideration both in performance and computational complexity.

[Objective] The study aimed to research the effect of several commercial NSP complex enzymes products on broiler meat quality, and provide scientific basis for feed enterprise and breeding farmers choosing NSP complex enzymes. [ Method] Two hundred ROSS broilers at age of 21 days were designed to five treatment groups, including the positive and negative control treatments, and Group 1 to 3 with feed additive of the commercial non-starch polysaccharide complex enzymes each on base of the negative group diet. At 56 days of age, broilers were killed and meat quality was analyzed. [ Result] The thigh meat color CIELAB a value for the negative control broilers was lower （ P 〈 0.05） than those of the positive control and Group 1. The drip loss of breast meat for Group 1 was the lowest, and the drip loss of thigh meat for the negative control was the highest among all treatments. The shear force for the negative control and Group 3 were higher than those of other three groups. There were no differences （P 〉 0.05） on the contents of chemical components, crude moisture, crude protein, crude fat, crude ash, and inosine acid for breast and thigh meat among all treatments. [ Conclusion] NSP complex enzymes with complete enzyme categories and high enzyme activity can improve meat quality in broilers.

Adaptive generalized matrix projective lag synchronization between two different complex networks with non-identical nodes and different dimensions

The adaptive generalized matrix projective lag synchronization between two different complex networks with non-identical nodes and different dimensions is investigated in this paper. Based on Lyapunov stability theory and Barbalat＇s lemma, generalized matrix projective lag synchronization criteria are derived by using the adaptive control method. Furthermore, each network can be undirected or directed, connected or disconnected, and nodes in either network may have identical or different dynamics. The proposed strategy is applicable to almost all kinds of complex networks. In addition, numerical simulation results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of this method, showing that the synchronization speed is sensitively influenced by the adaptive law strength, the network size, and the network topological structure.

Two azo dyes,C.I.Reactive Red 195(RR195)and C.I.Acid Black 234(AB234)were degraded by photocatalysis of Fe(Ⅲ)-oxalate complexes/H2O2 in aqueous non-ionic surfactant,Triton X-100(TX-100)solution.Some factors affecting the dye degradation such as TX-100 concentration,irradiation intensity,and sodium chloride were investigated.The interaction and competition between dye and TX-100 during the degradation were also examined using spectrophotometry and maximum bubble pressure method,respectively.The results indicated that TX-100 showed a significant reduction effect on degradation of two azo dyes,but which was largely confined to TX-100 concentration below the Critical Micellar Concentration(CMC).And the reduction was considerably decreased above the CMC,especially in the case of AB234.Moreover,the reducing effect of TX-100 on dye degradation almost did not vary with irradiation intensity.And the impact of sodium chloride on dye degradation was limited by the addition of TX-100.

Detection and Characterization of Non-covalent Complex between Lappaconitine and β-Cyclodextrin by Electrospray Ionization Tandem Mass Spectrometry

The non-covalent complexes between lappaconitine （LA） and β-cyclodextrin （β-CD） have been detected and characterized by electrospray ionization combined with ion trap tandem mass spectrometry （ESI-MSn）. The experimental results showed that only 1：1 non-covalent complex can be formed in different starting molar ratios of LA to β-CD. Furthermore, the diagnostic fragmentation of the β-CD-LA complex, with a significant contribution of covalent fragmentation of LA leaving the N-acetyl anthranoyl （AN） moiety inserted to β-CD, provided the convincing evidence for the formation of non-covalent complex between LA and β-CD and the cite of LA molecule included to cavity of β-CD assigned to AN residue.

Diethyl flavon-7-yl phosphate was synthesized by modified Atheron-Todd reaction. The result of ESI shows that the phosphated flavonoids possess stronger binding affinities toward proteins such as myoglobin, insulin and lysozyme and are easier to form the non-covalent complexes with them.

Non-isothermal Decomposition Kinetics of Complexes [Sm(m-MBA)_3phen]_2 and [Sm(o-MOBA)_3phen]_2·2H_2O

In recent years, there has been considerable inte- rest in complexes formed by lanthanide cations and va-rious benzoate derivatives^[1-4], due to their potential application in areas, such as extraction, separation, germicide preparation, catalysis, luminescence, and functional material preparation^[5]. As a continuation of the study on lanthanide carboxylate^[6-13], samarium complexes with m-methylbenzoic acid or o-methoxy- benzoic acid and 1,10-phenanthroline were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and IR spec- trometry. The thermal decomposition mechanisms of the two complexes were derived and the corresponding non- isothermal kinetics was studied using the Achar diffe- rential method^[14], the MKN integral method^[15], the non-linear isoconversional integral （ NL-INT）, and dif-ferential（NL-DIF） method^[16,17]. The information of the thermodynamic properties of the complex is impor- tant to characterize and understand the properties of the coordination compound, which could eventually be use-ful in determining their potential application.

Non-isothermal kinetics of the first-stage decomposition reaction of the complex of samarium p-methoxybenzoate with 1,10-phenanthroline

The complex of [Sm（p-MOBA）3phen]2 （p-MOBA, p-methoxybenzoate; phen,1 10-phenanthroline） was prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, and UV spectroscopy. The thermal decomposition of the [Sm（p-MOBA）sphen]2 complex and its kinetics were studied under a static air atmosphere by TG-DTG methods. The intermediate and residue for each decomposition stage were identified from the TG curve. The kinetic parameters and mecha- nisms of the first decomposition stage were obtained from the analysis of the TG-DTG curves by a new method of processing the data of thermal analysis kinetics. The lifetime equation at a mass loss of 10% was deduced as lnr= - 30.6795 ＋ 21034.56/Tby isothermal thermogravimelric analysis.

Universal relation for transport in non-sparse complex networks

Transport properties of a complex network can be reflected by the two-point resistance between any pair of two nodes. We systematically investigate a variety of typical complex networks encountered in nature and technology, in which we assume each link has unit resistance, and we find for non-sparse network connections a universal relation exists that the two-point resistance is equal to the sum of the inverse degree of two nodes up to a constant. We interpret our observations by the localization property of the network＇s Laplacian eigenvectors. The findings in this work can possibly be applied to probe transport properties of general non-sparse complex networks.

Reversible solid-liquid conversion enabled by self-capture effect for stable non-flow zinc-bromine batteries

Non-flow aqueous zinc-bromine batteries without auxiliary components(e.g.,pumps,pipes,storage tanks)and ion-selective membranes represent a cost-effective and promising technology for large-scale energy storage.Unfortunately,they generally suffer from serious diffusion and shuttle of polybromide(Br^(-),Br^(3-))due to the weak physical adsorption between soluble polybromide and host carbon materials,which results in low energy efficiency and poor cycling stability.Here,we develop a novel self-capture organic bromine material(1,10-bis[3-(trimethylammonio)propyl]-4,4'-bipyridinium bromine,NVBr4)to successfully realize reversible solid complexation of bromide components for stable non-flow zinc-bromine battery applications.The quaternary ammonium groups(NV^(4+)ions)can effectively capture the soluble polybromide species based on strong chemical interaction and realize reversible solid complexation confined within the porous electrodes,which transforms the conventional“liquid-liquid”conversion of soluble bromide components into“liquid-solid”model and effectively suppresses the shuttle effect.Thereby,the developed non-flow zinc-bromide battery provides an outstanding voltage platform at 1.7 V with a notable specific capacity of 325 mAh g^(-1)NVBr4(1 A g^(-1)),excellent rate capability(200 mAh g^(-1)NVBr4 at 20 A g^(-1)),outstanding energy density of 469.6 Wh kg^(-1)and super-stable cycle life(20,000 cycles with 100%Coulombic efficiency),which outperforms most of reported zinc-halogen batteries.Further mechanism analysis and DFT calculations demonstrate that the chemical interaction of quaternary ammonium groups and bromide species is the main reason for suppressing the shuttle effect.The developed strategy can be extended to other halogen batteries to obtain stable charge storage.

A Non-Contact Original-State Online Real-Time Monitoring Method for Complex Liquids in Industrial Processes

Failures are very common during the online real-time monitoring of large quantities of complex liquids in industrial processes, and can result in excessive resource consumption and pollution. In this study, we introduce a monitoring method capable of non-contact original-state online real-time monitoring for strongly coated, high-salinity, and multi-component liquids. The principle of the method is to establish the relationship among the concentration of the target substance in the liquid （C）, the color space coor- dinates of the target substance at different concentrations （L＊, a＊, b＊）, and the maximum absorption wave- length （λmax）; subsequently, the optimum wavelength λT of the liquid is determined by a high-precision scanning-type monitoring system that is used to detect the instantaneous concentration of the target substance in the flowing liquid. Unlike traditional monitoring methods and existing online monitoring methods, the proposed method does not require any pretreatment of the samples （i.e., filtration, dilution, oxidation/reduction, addition of chromogenic agent, constant volume, etc.）, and it is capable of original- state online real-time monitoring. This method is employed at a large electrolytic manganese plant to monitor the Fe3. concentration in the colloidal process of the plant＇s aging liquid （where the concentra- tions of Fe3＋, Mn2＋, and （NH4）2SO4 are 0.5-18 mg.L 1, 35-39 g.L 1, and 90-110 g.L 1, respectively）. The relative error of this monitoring method compared with an off-line laboratory monitoring is less than 2%.

New Solutions for Systematic Problems Involving Complexity through Program MATLAB Based on Indeterminism for Non-Physicists

Modern science has solved the systematic dynamic problems involving complexity such as complex systems by logical solution algebraically such as the old chaos theory derived from algebraic statistics based on determinism. It is very vague and difficult for us. Moreover, modern science treats systems dynamic problems as logical static problems according to determinism. However, this study proposes a novel solution for systematic problems, it is accomplished by systems analysis theory based on a third science (indeterminism) as it is more precise and easier to understand compared to chaos theory. Furthermore, it is suitable for non-physicists, because it is supported by computer simulations without any mathematical processing. Thus, it can be solved especially regressive systems solution. Therefore, this provided an innovative scientific result to non-physicists for their unsolved systematic problems in modern science.
