Pumped with a 1064 nm, 50 ps laser pulses, 0.05 mol/L HEASPS/DMF solution showed the two-photon pumped (TPP) output/input efficiency of 9.1% which is higher than that of known TPP laser dyes trans-4-[p-(N-hydroxyethyl-N-methylamino) styryl]-N-methylpyridinium iodide (ASPI) and trans-4-[p-(N-hydroxyethyl-N-methylamino) styryl]-N-methylpyridinium p-toluene sulfonate (HMASPS) at the same experimental conditions.展开更多

Pumped with a 1064 nm, 50 ps laser pulses, 0.05 mol/L HMASPS/DMF solution showed the two-photon pumped (TPP) output/input efficiency of 8.4% which is higher than that of trans-4-[p-(N-hydroxyethyl-N-methylamino) styryl]-N-methylpyridinium iodide (ASPI)(1) at the same pump level.展开更多

Recently, the problems, which have brought about serious effect on the global living condition, have been in the ‘‘spotlight" and given impetus to the universal's efforts to head for the same direction: stem the worst warming and strive for the renewable energy source. Hydrogen peroxide(H_2O_2) is undoubtedly a good choice,which holds the promise as a clean, efficient, safe and transferrable energy carrier. Octahedral coordination polymer, Cd_3(C_3N_3S_3)_2, was found to be a robust photocatalyst for H_2O_2 generation under visible light irradiation. To further improve the H_2O_2 generation efficiency, adhering the octahedron to reduced graphene(rGO) was applied as the strategy herein. The study shows that by adhering Cd_3(C_3N_3S_3)_2to rGO, the formation of H_2O_2 is 2.5-fold enhanced and its deformation is concurrently suppressed. This work not only demonstrates the effectiveness of adhering Cd_3(C_3N_3S_3)_2polymer to rGO for the improvement of the polymer's photocatalytic performance, but also proposes a general way for the fabrication of graphene/coordination compound hybrids for maximizing their synergy.展开更多

The bacterial strains carrying these identical or similar antigenic epitopes might react with antibodies produced against other strains. In this study, strong immunogenicity and antigenic cross reactivity were demonstrated among V. cholerae O1, S. flexnerii 2a and H. influenzae b surface components. The enzyme linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） results were supported by Western blot analysis, where at least 20 antigenic bands, were obtained in each of the reactions, when the surface components were reacted with the homologous antisera. The indirect ELISA results also demonstrated high degree of antigenic relatedness between the surface components of these species, where each surface component was reacted with the heterologous antisera. Western blot analysis also revealed cross reactions between the surface components suggesting common distribution of antigens/epitopes in these bacterial species. This study, thus, gave a clear idea of the level of antigenic sharing and variations among the pathogenic V. cholerae O1, S. flexneri 2a and H. influenzae b strains, which in future, may help in selecting a proper candidate for vaccines and immunodiagnostics development.展开更多
