In order to improve the performance of an incomplete pedigree（i.e, only parents are known） in the genetic evaluations, 12 microsatellite markers have been applied in the estimation of the genetic parameters for body weight in a farmed population（n=1 890） of juvenile turbot（Scophthalmus maximus L.）. A new relatedness called parental molecular relatedness（PMR） is estimated based on results of genotyping of 48 parents（31 males, 17 females） with microsatellites markers. The feasibility of PMR in estimation of genetic parameters is verified by comparison with pedigree related（PR） which is obtained from a complete pedigree. The results demonstrate that a high correlation（0.872） between them is found. Heritabilities are estimated using the PMR（0.52±0.13） and PR（0.55±0.22） with the same animal model. A cross-validation shows that the predictive abilities of models using the PMR and the PR are identical（0.81）. From that, a conclusion can be made that PMR and PR predicted genetic values equally well in a population of juvenile turbot. Therefore PMR can be applied as an alternative of the PR when only parents are known. However, for a better performance, more markers and more families should be included in a further study.展开更多

The potential energy curve is fitted to the Murrell-Sorbie function, which is used to determine the spectroscopic parameters. The obtained Do, De, Re, ωe, ωeXe, αe and Be values are 3.4971 eV, 3.6261 eV, 0.11197 nm, 2097.661 cm^-1, 34.6963 cm^-1, 0.2083 cm^-1 and 7.7962 cm^-1, respectively, which conform almost perfectly to the available measurements. With the potential obtained at the UCCSD（T）/aug-cc-pV5Z level of theory, a total of 24 vibrational states have been predicted for the first time when J = 0 by solving the radial Schrodinger equation of nuclear motion. The complete vibrational levels, the classical turning points, the inertial rotation constants and centrifugal distortion constants are reproduced from the CD（X2∏） potential when J = 0, and are in excellent agreement with the available measurements. The total and the various partial-wave cross sections are calculated for the elastic collisions between the ground-state C and D atoms at energies from 1.0×10^-11 to 1.0 × 10^-4 a.u. when the two atoms approach each other along the CD（X2∏） potential energy curve. Only one shape resonance is found in the total elastic cross sections, and the resonant energy is 8.36×10^-6 a.u. The results show that the shape of the total elastic cross section is mainly dominated by the s partial wave at very low temperatures. Because of the weak shape resonances coming from higher partial waves, most of them are passed into oblivion by the strong total elastic cross sections.展开更多

A correlative model was established between certain physical-chemical properties and molecular parameters of alkanes by regression method. Eight physical-chemical properties, such as evaporation heat （△vHm^20）, density（D^20 ）, capacity （C^20）, surface tension （δ^20）, boiling point （Tb）, critical temperature（Tc）, critical pressure（Pc） and critical volume（Vc）, of fifty-six C3-C16 alkanes were calculated directly from the model in this paper. The calculated values are in good accordance with the literature ones reported for alkanes, and the correlation coefficients （R） equal or exceed 0.99 . The research results indicate that the principle of the method is simple and clear, the method is practical, the correlativity is excellent, and the predicted data are credible.展开更多

It had a similar form and the same capability to predict P-V-T properties as the Martin-Hou equation and no additional data were required for evaluating the constants. The characteristic constants of the theoretical expression have certain relationships with the molecular parameters.展开更多

The potential is used to investigate the elastic scattering of two N atoms at energies from 1.0×10^-11 to 1.0 × 10^-4 a.u. The derived total elastic cross sections are very large and almost constant at ultralow temperatures, and the shape of total elastic cross section curve is mainly dominated by the s-partial wave at very low collision energies. Three shape resonances are found in the total elastic cross sections. Concretely, the first one is very sharp and strong. It results from the g-partial-wave contribution and the resonant energy is 3.645 × 10^-6 a.u. The second one is contributed by the h-partial wave and the resonant energy is 1.752 × 10^-5 a.u. This resonance is broadened by those from the d- and f-partial waves. The third one comes from the l = 6 partial wave contribution and the resonant energy is 3.522 × 10^-5 a.u. This resonance is broadened by those from the g- and h-partial waves. The N2（X1∑g＋） molecular parameters, which are determined at the current theoretical level, achieve very high accuracy due to the employment of the largest correlation-consistent basis set in the valence range.展开更多

Using protonated water cluster ions as the reactant ions and clean air as the drift gas, the alcohols exhibit different product ion characteristic peaks in their ion mobility spectra. The detection limit for these alcohols is at low concentration pmol/L level according to the concentration calibration by exponential dilution method. Based on the measured ion mobilities, several chemical physics parameters of the ion-molecular interaction at atmosphere were obtained, including the ionic collision cross sections, diffusion coefficients, collision rate constants, and the ionic radii under the hard-sphere model approximation.展开更多

The two mixtures were AEO9/sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and AEO9/cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) at molar fraction of AEO9, A EO9 α =0.5. The surface properties of the surfactants, critical micelle concentration (CMC), effectiveness of surface tension reduction (γCMC), maximum surface excess concentration (Γmax) and minimum area per molecule at the air/solution interface (Amin) were determined for both individual surfactants and their mixtures. The significant deviations from ideal behavior (attractive interactions) of the nonionic/ionic surfactant mixtures were determined. Mixtures of both AEO9/SDS and AEO9/CTAB exhibited synergism in surface tension reduction efficiency and mixed micelle formation, but neither exhibited synergism in surface tension reduction effectiveness.展开更多

For these states, the vibrational states with the rotational quantum number J equals zero （J = 0） are studied by solving the radial nuclear Schr6dinger equation using the Numerov method. For each vibrational state, the vibrational level, the classical turning points, the rotational inertial and the centrifugal distortion constants are calculated. Comparison is made with recent theoretical and experimental results.展开更多

In order to improve the performance of an incomplete pedigree（i.e, only parents are known） in the genetic evaluations, 12 microsatellite markers have been applied in the estimation of the genetic parameters for body weight in a farmed population（n=1 890） of juvenile turbot（Scophthalmus maximus L.）. A new relatedness called parental molecular relatedness（PMR） is estimated based on results of genotyping of 48 parents（31 males, 17 females） with microsatellites markers. The feasibility of PMR in estimation of genetic parameters is verified by comparison with pedigree related（PR） which is obtained from a complete pedigree.

A cross-validation shows that the predictive abilities of models using the PMR and the PR are identical（0.81）. From that, a conclusion can be made that PMR and PR predicted genetic values equally well in a population of juvenile turbot. Therefore PMR can be applied as an alternative of the PR when only parents are known. However, for a better performance, more markers and more families should be included in a further study.

文摘Parkinson's disease(PD) is the second most common cause of neurodegeneration.Over the last two decades, various hypotheses have been proposed to explain the etiology of PD.Among these is the oxidant-antioxidant theory, which asserts that local and systemic oxidative damage triggered by reactive oxygen species and other free radicals may promote dopaminergic neuron degeneration.Excessive reactive oxygen species formation, one of the underlying causes of pathology in the course of PD has been evidenced by various studies showing that oxidized macromolecules including lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids accumulate in brain tissues of PD patients.DNA oxidation may produce various lesions in the course of PD.Mutations incurred as a result of DNA oxidation may further enhance reactive oxygen species production in the brains of PD patients, exacerbating neuronal loss due to defects in the mitochondrial electron transport chain, antioxidant depletion, and exposure to toxic oxidized dopamine.The protein products of SNCA, PRKN, PINK1, DJ1, and LRRK2 genes are associated with disrupted oxidoreductive homeostasis in PD.SNCA is the first gene linked with familial PD and is currently known to be affected by six mutations correlated with the disorder: A53T, A30P, E46K, G51D, H50Q and A53E.PRKN encodes Parkin, an E3 ubiquitin ligase which mediates the proteasome degradation of redundant and disordered proteins such as glycosylated α-synuclein.Over 100 mutations have been found among the 12 exons of PRKN.PINK1, a mitochondrial kinase highly expressed in the brain, may undergo loss of function mutations which constitute approximately 1–8% of early onset PD cases.More than 50 PD-promoting mutations have been found in PINK1.Mutations in DJ-1, a neuroprotective protein, are a rare cause of early onset PD and constitute only 1% of cases.Around 20 mutations have been found in DJ1 among PD patients thus far.Mutations in the LRRK2 gene are the most common known cause of familial autosomal dominant PD and sporadic PD.Treatment of PD patients, especially in the advanced stages of the disease, is very difficult.The first step in managing progressive PD is to optimize dopaminergic therapy by increasing the doses of dopamine agonists and L-dopa.The next step is the introduction of advanced therapies, such as deep brain stimulation.Genetic factors may influence the response to L-dopa and deep brain stimulation therapy and the regulation of oxidative stress.Consequently, research into minimally invasive surgical interventions, as well as therapies that target the underlying etiology of PD is warranted.

文摘An interaction potential for an N2（X^1∑g^＋） molecule is constructed by using the highly accurate valence internally contracted multireference configuration interaction method and the largest basis set, aug-cc-pV6Z, in the valence range. The potential is used to investigate the elastic scattering of two N atoms at energies from 1.0×10^-11 to 1.0 × 10^-4 a.u. The derived total elastic cross sections are very large and almost constant at ultralow temperatures, and the shape of total elastic cross section curve is mainly dominated by the s-partial wave at very low collision energies. Three shape resonances are found in the total elastic cross sections. Concretely, the first one is very sharp and strong. It results from the g-partial-wave contribution and the resonant energy is 3.645 × 10^-6 a.u. The second one is contributed by the h-partial wave and the resonant energy is 1.752 × 10^-5 a.u. This resonance is broadened by those from the d- and f-partial waves. The third one comes from the l = 6 partial wave contribution and the resonant energy is 3.522 × 10^-5 a.u. This resonance is broadened by those from the g- and h-partial waves. The N2（X1∑g＋） molecular parameters, which are determined at the current theoretical level, achieve very high accuracy due to the employment of the largest correlation-consistent basis set in the valence range.

Using protonated water cluster ions as the reactant ions and clean air as the drift gas, the alcohols exhibit different product ion characteristic peaks in their ion mobility spectra. The detection limit for these alcohols is at low concentration pmol/L level according to the concentration calibration by exponential dilution method. Based on the measured ion mobilities, several chemical physics parameters of the ion-molecular interaction at atmosphere were obtained, including the ionic collision cross sections, diffusion coefficients, collision rate constants, and the ionic radii under the hard-sphere model approximation.

文摘The interaction in two mixtures of a nonionic surfactant AEO9 (C12H25O(CH2CH2O)9H) and different ionic surfactants was investigated. The two mixtures were AEO9/sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and AEO9/cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) at molar fraction of AEO9, A EO9 α =0.5. The surface properties of the surfactants, critical micelle concentration (CMC), effectiveness of surface tension reduction (γCMC), maximum surface excess concentration (Γmax) and minimum area per molecule at the air/solution interface (Amin) were determined for both individual surfactants and their mixtures. The significant deviations from ideal behavior (attractive interactions) of the nonionic/ionic surfactant mixtures were determined. Mixtures of both AEO9/SDS and AEO9/CTAB exhibited synergism in surface tension reduction efficiency and mixed micelle formation, but neither exhibited synergism in surface tension reduction effectiveness.

文摘This paper calculates the equilibrium internuclear separations, the harmonic frequencies and the potential energy curves of the X^2∑＋, A^2П and B^2∑＋ states of the CP radical by the highly accurate valence internally contracted multireference configuration interaction method with correlation-consistent basis sets （aug-cc-pV6Z for C atom and aug-cc-pVQZ for P atom）. The potential energy curves are all fitted with the analytic potential energy function by the least-square fitting. Employing the analytic potential energy function, we determine the spectroscopic constants （Be, αe and ωeχe） of these states. For the X2∑＋ state, the obtained values of De, Be, αe, ωeχe, Re and ωe are 5.4831 eV, 0.792119 cm-1, 0.005521 cm-1, 6.89653 cm-1, 0.15683 nm, 12535.11 cm-1, respectively. For the A2H state, the present values of De, Be,αe, ωeχe, Re and We are 4.586 eV, 0.703333 cm-1, 0.005458 cm-1, 6.03398 cm-1, 0.16613 nm, 1057.89 cm-1, respectively. For the B2E＋ state, the present values of De, Be, αe, ωeχe, Re and We are 3.506 eV, 0.677561 cm-1, 0.00603298 cm-1, 5.68809 cm-1, 0.1696 nm, 822.554 cm-1, respectively. For these states, the vibrational states with the rotational quantum number J equals zero （J = 0） are studied by solving the radial nuclear Schr6dinger equation using the Numerov method. For each vibrational state, the vibrational level, the classical turning points, the rotational inertial and the centrifugal distortion constants are calculated. Comparison is made with recent theoretical and experimental results.

文摘We determine structure parameters of the highest occupied molecular orbital(HOMO)of 27 dimers for the molecular tunneling ionization(so called MO-ADK)model of Tong et al.[Phys.Rev.A 66(2002)033402].The molecular wave functions with correct asymptotic behavior are obtained by solving the time-independent Schr(o|¨)dinger equation with B-spline functions and molecular potentials which are numerically created using the density functional theory.We examine the alignment-dependent tunneling ionization probabilities from MO-ADK model for several molecules by comparing with the molecular strong-field approximation(MO-SFA)calculations.We show the molecular PerelomovPopov-Terent'ev(MO-PPT)can successfully give the laser wavelength dependence of ionization rates(or probabilities).Based on the MO-PPT model,two diatomic molecules having valence orbital with antibonding systems(i.e.,Cl_2,Ne_2)show strong ionization suppression when compared with their corresponding closest companion atoms.
文摘A retention prediction system(RPS)of seven O-ethyl N-isopropyl phosphoro(thioureido)- thioates in reversed phase HPLC was investigated.The system is based on the solvent selectivity triangle concept.Three molecular structure parameters(hydrophobicity Ⅱ,substituent length L, and substituent maximum width B_5)were used to describe the quantitative structure-retention relation- ships.With these quantitative relationships,the retention behaviours of other eight homologs for different mobile phase composition were predicted.The predicted values were consistent with the measured values within relative error of 10%,which means that it is possible to apply the reported method to predict retention values for qualitative purposes for different mobile phase compositions.

文摘In the molecular Ammosov–Delone–Krainov(MO-ADK) model of Tong et al. [Phys. Rev. A 66(2002)033402], the ionization rate depends on the structure parameters of the molecular orbital from which the electron is removed. We determine systematically and tabulate accurate structure parameters of the highest occupied molecular orbital(HOMO) for 123 gas-phase linear molecules by solving time-independent Schr¨odinger equation with B-spline functions and molecular potentials which are constructed numerically using the modified Leeuwen–Baerends(LBα)model.
