APPLICATION OF THE MOMENT METHODS TO ANALYSIS OF X-RAY-DIFFRACTION LINE-PROFILE FOR PA1010-BMI SYSTEM

Pure X-ray diffraction profiles have been analysed for polyamide 1010 and PA1O1O-BMI system by means of multipeak fitting resolution of X-ray diffraction. The methods of variance and fourth moment have been applied to determine the particle size and strain values for the paracrystalline materials. The results indicated that both variance and fourth moment of X-ray diffraction line profile yielded approximately the same values of the particle size and the strain. The particle sizes of (100) reflection have been found to decrease with increasing BMI content, whereas the strain values increased.

SPECTRAL CHARACTERISTICS OF ER3+-ACTIVATED AND CE3+-SENSITIZED YTTRIUM-ALUMINUM-GARNET LASER CRYSTALS

We report in this paper the spectral characteristics of Er3+ (2 at.%)-activated and Ce3+ (0.3 at.%)-sensitized yttrium aluminium garnet (YAG:Er,Ce) laser crystals grown by the Czochralski technique. The absorption and emission spectra were measured at room temperature. By using absorption spectra and Judd-Ofelt theory the experimental oscillator strengths of the Er3+ transitions in the YAG:Er,Ce crystals were calculated. The energy transfer between the Er3+ and Ce3+ ions is also discussed.

EASTMAN-AQ/NIII MODIFIED ELECTRODE CHARACTERIZATION AND APPLICATION IN FLOW-INJECTION DETERMINATION OF CARBOHYDRATES AND AMINO-ACIDS

A novel Eastman-AQ/Ni(II) chemically modified electrode (CME) produced by "double coating step" deposition of a poly(ester sulphonic acid) polymer film and Ni2+-containing crystalline species onto glassy carbon instead of a metallic nickel electrode exhibited stable electrocatalytic oxidation of numerous alpha-hydrogen compounds including carbohydrates, amines and amino acids. In cyclic voltammetry, the electrocatalysis appeared with an irreversible anodic wave at +0.55 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). The CME was adapted for constant-potential amperometric detection of these compounds in flow injection analysis. Using the CME, the linear response concentration range was between 1.0 x 10(-5) and 5.0 x 10(-2) mol/l and the detection limit was 5.0 x 10(-6) mol/l for glucose. The stability of the CME was adequate for routine quantitative application.

SYNTHESIS AND MOLECULAR-STRUCTURE OF THE 5-COORDINATE ZIRCONIUM COMPLEX (CH3C5H4)2ZRCL(ALPHA-C10H7COO)

Bis(methylcyclopentadienyl)chloro(alpha-naphthoyloxy)zirconium, (CH3C5H4)2Zr Cl(alpha-C10H7COO), has been synthesized by the reaction between (MeCp)2ZrCl2 and equimolar sodium alpha-naphthoate in toluene at room temperature. The molecular structure of the title complex was determined by X-ray diffraction. The molecules have a five-coordinate bent metallocene structure in which the alpha-naphthoxyligand is bidentate [Zr-O, 2.317(2), 2.260(2) angstrom]. The remaining distances are [Zr-Cl, 2.521(1) angstrom; Zr-C, 480-2, 565 angstrom; Zr-cent-CH3C5H4 2.217 and 2.230 angstrom].

Characterization of amphioxus GDF8/11 gene, an archetype of vertebrate MSTN and GDF11

MSTN, also known as growth and differentiation factor 8 (GDF8), and GDF11 are members of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) subfamily. They have been thought to be derived from one ancestral gene. In the present study, we report the isolation and characterization of an invertebrate GDF8/11 homolog from the amphioxus (Branchiostoma belcheri tsingtauense). The amphioxus GDF8/11 gene consists of five exons flanked by four introns, which have two more exons and introns than that of other species. In intron III, a possible transposable element was identified. This suggested that this intron might be derived from transposon. The amphioxus GDF8/11 cDNA encodes a polypeptide of 419 amino acid residues. Phologenetic analysis shows that the GDF8/11 is at the base of vertebrate MSTNs and GDF11s. This result might prove that the GDF8/11 derived from one ancestral gene and the amphioxus GDF8/11 may be the common ancestral gene, and also the gene duplication event generating MSTN and GDF11 occurred before the divergence of vertebrates and after or at the divergence of amphioxus from vertebrates. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction results showed that the GDF8/11 gene was expressed in new fertilized cell, early gastrulation, and knife-shaped embryo, which was different from that in mammals. It suggested that the GDF8/11 gene might possess additional functions other than regulating muscle growth in amphioxus.

cDNA cloning and mRNA expression of a selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase from Zhikong scallop Chlamys farreri

The glutathione peroxidases are essential enzymes of the cellular antioxidant defence system. In the present study, the full-length cDNA sequence encoding an extracellular glutathione peroxidase (designated CfGPx3) was isolated from Zhikong scallop Chlamys farreri. The complete cDNA was of 1194 bp, containing a 5' untranslated region (UTR) of 50 bp, a 3' UTR of 490 bp and an open reading frame (ORF) of 654 bp encoding a polypeptide of 217 amino acids. CfGPx3 possessed all the conserved features critical for the fundamental structure and function of glutathione peroxidase, such as the selenocysteine encoded by stop codon UGA, the GPx signature motif ((96)LGVPCNQFI(103)) and the active site motif ((WNFEKF184)-W-179). The high similarity of CfGPx3 with GPx from other organisms indicated that CfGPx3 should be a new member of the glutathione peroxidase family. By fluorescent quantitative real-time PCR, the CfGPx3 mRNA was universally detected in the tissues of haemocytes, gill, gonad, muscle and hepatopancreas with the highest expression in hepatopancreas. After scallops were challenged by Listonella anguillarum, the expression level of CfGPx3 transcript in haemocytes was significantly up-regulated (P<0.05) at 8 h post challenge. These results suggested that CfGPx3 was potentially involved in the immune response of scallops and perhaps contributed to the protective effects against oxidative stress. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc.
