In this paper, we study the linear interactions of two interface dislocation loops with arbitrary shape in generally anisotropic piezoelectric bi-crystals. A simple formula for calculating the interaction energy of the interface dislocation loops is derived and given by a double line integral along two closed dislocation curves. Particularly, interactions between two straight segments of the interface dislocations are solved analytically, which can be applied to approximate any curved loop so that an analytical solution can be also achieved. Numerical results show the influence of the bi-crystal interface as well as the material orientation on the interaction of interface dislocation loops.展开更多

Methods.Ultra centrifugation method was used to investigate the binding of filamin to both phosphorylated and unphosphorylated myosins. Mg ATPase activities of both phosphorylated and unphosphorylated myosins in the presence and absence of actin were measured to observe the effects resulted from filamin actin and filamin myosin interactions. Results. It was found that filamin is also a myosin binding protein. Filamin inhibited the actin activated Mg ATPase activity of phosphorylated myosin and stimulated Mg ATPase of phosphorylated myosin in the absence of actin; in addition, filamin stimulated Mg ATPase activity of unphosphorylated myosin in both the presence or absence of actin. Conclusion. The results suggest that the effects of filamin on the myosin Mg ATPase activities are bi directional, i.e., stimulatory via binding to myosin and inhibitory via binding to actin.展开更多

The crystal belongs to the orthorhombic system,space group Ibca with a = 16.569(9),b = 17.240(10),c = 27.087(16) ,V = 7738(8) 3,Z = 8,Dc = 1.306 g/cm3,Mr = 760.65,λ(MoKa) = 0.71073 ,μ = 0.623 mm1,F(000) = 3192,the final R = 0.0678 and wR = 0.2011. The Co(II) atom is coordinated in a slightly distorted octahedral CoN4Cl2 geometry by two Cl atoms in the axial positions,four N atoms from the two bridging bpp ligands and two pendant bpp ligands. The CoN4Cl2 octahedra are connected by the bridging bpp ligands to form a 1D neutral coordination polymer chain. The chains are linked by face-to-face π-π interactions between adjacent pendant bpp ligands to give rise to a 3D supramolecular architecture. The photoluminescent investigation indicates that the emission of 1 is attributed to ligand-centered emission. The variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurement shows weak antiferromagnetic behavior in the coπmplex.展开更多

The base-isolated liquid storage tanks are modeled using mechanical analogs with two and three lumped masses (Model 1 and Model 2). Two types of isolation systems, such as sliding system and elastomeric system, are considered for the present study. The isolation systems are modeled using Wen’s equation for hysteretic isolation systems. Response of base-isolated liquid storage tanks, evaluated through two different modeling approaches, is compared. Both the models predict similar sloshing displacement. The effect of interaction between the mutually perpendicular seismic responses of the isolator is investigated for both the models. It is observed that interaction affects the peak seismic response of the base-isolated liquid storage tanks significantly, under the bi-directional earthquake components.展开更多

Among these, in a range of 7.20--5.62, the fluorescence wavelength blueshifted from 418 to 359 nm, but the UV-Vis absorption wavelength, in contrast, redshifted from 285 to 298 nm. The fluorescence intensity of BPE had a drop even to quench upon a decline in the pH value from 2.60 to -1.0 probably owing to its cation-re interaction to reduce the π electron cloud density of BPE. Two dissociation constants, pKa1(4.30±0.01) and PKa2(5.65±0.04), were obtained based on fluorescence data. The changes of fluorescence spectra indicate that BPE has "oft-on-off" switch behavior. The fluorescent spectra of BPE were nearly independent on the presence of α- and β-cyclodextrins.展开更多

The reactions of LA with excess amount of cobalt salts yield the six-coordinate complexes [CoL2](ClO4)E·H2O 1 and [CoL2](NO3)E·H2O 2 as isolatable products (L= N-(1- benzimidazo-2-yl-ethylidene)-ethane-1,2-diamine), where L is a tri-dentate mono-Schiff base ligand, resulting from the hydrolysis of the precursor di-Schiff base LA. Both complexes were characterized by X-ray crystallography. Crystal data for complex 1: monoclinic, space group P21/c, a = 11.9214(10), b = 23.5828(17), c = 14.0387(12)A, β = 135.219(4)°, C22H30Cl2CoN8O9, Mr = 680.37, V = 2780.1(4) A^3 ,Z = 4, Dc = 1.625 g/cm^3,μ(MoKa) = 0.876 mm^-1, F(000) = 1404, the final R = 0.0725 and wR = 0.1530 for 5726 observed reflections (I 〉 2σ(I)). Crystal data for complex 2: monoclinic, space group P21/c, a = 18.2162(16), b = 10.0610(6), c = 18.593(2)A, β = 130.099(3)°, C22H30CoN10O7, Mr = 605.49, V = 2606.5(4) A3 Z = 4, Dc = 1.543 g/cm^3,μ(MoKa) = 0.722 mm^-1, F(000) = 1260, the final R = 0.0619 and wR = 0.1429 for 5194 observed reflections (I 〉 2σ(I)). X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that each cobalt atom in the two complexes is chelated by six nitrogen atoms from two tridentate iigands L, exhibiting a slightly distorted octahedral coordination sphere. In both complexes, the strong hydrogen-bonding interactions between the lattice waters and N-H groups of the ligands result in 1D chains which are further connected by ClO4^- (or NO3^-) groups to form a 3D framework. In complex 2, the strong π-π interactions increase the stability of the structure.展开更多
