Isolation of a novel cyanophage infectious to the filamentous cyanobacterium Planktothrix agardhii (Cyanophyceae) from Lake Donghu, China

A previously unknown cyanophage, PaV-LD (Planktothrix agardhii Virus isolated from Lake Donghu), which causes lysis of the bloom-forming filamentous cyanobacterium P. agardhii, was isolated from Lake Donghu, Wuhan, China. PaV-LD only lysed P. agardhii strains isolated from Lake Donghu and not those isolated from other lakes. The PaV-LD particle has an icosahedral, non-tailed structure, ca. 70 to 85 nm (mean +/- SD = 76 +/- 6 nm) in diameter. PaV-LD was stable at freezing temperature, but lost its infectivity at temperatures >50 degrees C. Lysis of host cells was delayed about 3 d after the PaV-LD treatment with chloroform, and the virus was inactivated by exposure to low pH (<= 4). The latent period and burst size of the PaV-LD were estimated to be 48 to 72 h and about 340 infectious units per cell, respectively. The regrowth cultures of surviving host filaments were not lysed by the PaV-LD suspension. To our knowledge, this is the first isolation and cultivation of a virus infectious to the filamentous bloom-forming cyanobacterium Planktothrix from a freshwater lake.

Effects and numerical analysis of argon gas flow on the oxygen concentration in Czochralski silicon single crystal growth

Argon gas, as a protective environment and carrier of latent heat, has an important effect on the temperature distribution in crystals and melts. Numeric simulation is a potent tool for solving engineering problems. In this paper, the relationship between argon gas flow and oxygen concentration in silicon crystals was studied systematically. A flowing stream of argon gas is described by numeric simulation for the first time. Therefore, the results of experiments can be explained, and the optimum argon flow with the lowest oxygen concentration can be achieved. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Smoothing LDA Model for Text Categorization

Abstract. Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) is a document level language model. In general, LDA employ the symmetry Dirichlet distribution as prior of the topic-words’ distributions to implement model smoothing. In this paper, we propose a data-driven smoothing strategy in which probability mass is allocated from smoothing-data to latent variables by the intrinsic inference procedure of LDA. In such a way, the arbitrariness of choosing latent variables'priors for the multi-level graphical model is overcome. Following this data-driven strategy,two concrete methods, Laplacian smoothing and Jelinek-Mercer smoothing, are employed to LDA model. Evaluations on different text categorization collections show data-driven smoothing can significantly improve the performance in balanced and unbalanced corpora.

Experimental investigation on TBAB clathrate hydrate slurry flows in a horizontal tube: Forced convective heat transfer behaviors

Tetra-n-butyl-ammonium bromide (TBAB) clathrate hydrate slurry (CHS) is one kind of secondary refrigerants, which is promising to be applied into air-conditioning or latent-heat transportation systems as a thermal storage or cold carrying medium for energy saving. It is a solid-liquid two phase mixture which is easy to produce and has high latent heat and good fluidity. In this paper, the heat transfer characteristics of TBAB slurry were investigated in a horizontal stainless steel tube under different solid mass fractions and flow velocities with constant heat flux. One velocity region of weakened heat transfer was found. Moreover, TBAB CHS was treated as a kind of Bingham fluids, and the influences of the solid particles, flow velocity and types of flow on the forced convective heat transfer coefficients of TBAB CHS were investigated. At last, criterial correlations of Nusselt number for laminar and turbulent flows in the form of power function were summarized, and the error with experimental results was within 20%.

Analysis for temperature and pressure fields in process of hydrate dissociation by depressurization

An improved axisymmetric mathematic modeling is proposed for the process of hydrate dissociation by depressurization around vertical well. To reckon in the effect of latent heat of gas hydrate at the decomposition front, the energy balance equation is employed. The semi-analytic solutions for temperature and pressure fields are obtained by using Boltzmann-transformation. The location of decomposition front is determined by solving initial value problem for system of ordinary differential equations. The distributions of pressure and temperature along horizontal radiate in the reservoir are calculated. The numeric results indicate that the moving speed of decomposition front is sensitively dependent on the well pressure and the sediment permeability. Copyright (C) 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

N-烷基氮杂糖及其衍生物的合成

多羟基哌啶类化合物通常称为氮杂糖，由于与糖结构的相似性，亚胺基环醇表现出强的糖苷酶和糖基转移酶抑制活性，可调控在生物识别及酶结构控制中起到重要作用的糖蛋白的生物合成与水解。因此这类抑制剂有望成为与糖代谢紊乱有关的疾病的治疗药物，如：抗糖尿病、抗肿瘤、抗溶酶体贮积症及抗病毒感染（包括艾滋病）等药物。正是由于氮杂糖的重要生物活性及诱人的药用开发前景，近年来，有关氮杂糖及其衍生物的合成、生物活性及应用研究备受关注。 本论文探索了一系列的作为潜在的迈克加成中间体1-C-乙酰甲基/甲氧羰基甲基-5-N-取代呋喃核糖碳苷衍生物在碱的作用下先发生β-消除反应，接着发生分子内的迈克加成反应生成1-C-乙酰甲基-N-取代氮杂吡喃糖碳苷衍生物及1-C-甲氧羰基甲基-N-取代氮杂吡喃糖碳苷衍生物的方法，该转变过程为先通过β-消除得到非环状的α/β不饱和共轭酮或酯的中间体，接着5-N-取代氨基与分子内的α/β不饱和共轭酮或酯发生分子内的1,4-亲核加成，其中，2'-酯的环加成立体选择性的得到β型1-C-乙酰甲基-N-取代氮杂吡喃糖碳苷衍生物，而2'-酮的环加成得到立体异构体1-C-乙酰甲基-N-取代氮杂吡喃糖碳苷衍生物。此外，该类N-取代氮杂吡喃糖碳苷衍生物进一步脱除保护基，得到了一系列新的N-取代氮杂吡喃糖衍生物，拓展了氮杂吡喃糖碳苷分子库。 中间体1-C-(2'-oxoalkyl)-5-N-alkylated glycoribofuranoside的合成是由核糖为原料，通过对其结构修饰，在C-5氮原子上先引入不同的取代基，在C-1上引入乙酰甲基或甲氧羰基甲基。C-5取代氨基的引入通过两种方法：(a) 5-取代链状脂肪氨基可由链状的伯胺直接与5-甲磺酰基发生SN2亲核取代得到；(b) 5-取代芳香氨基可通过芳香醛与C-5氨基缩合再由硼氢化钠还原得到。2'-酰基的引入通过烯丙基氧化得到：2'-酮羰基由醋酸汞和琼斯试剂氧化得到；2'-酯基由高锰酸钾氧化再碘甲烷的作用下得到。 The polyhydroxylated piperidines, commonly be called azasugars. Iminocyclitols and their derivatives have exhibited remarkable biological activity to inhibit glycosidase-processing enzymes, with resulting potential chemotherapeutic applications against diabetes, cancer, lysosomal storage disorders and viral infections including AIDS. Recently, because of the important biological activity and excellent foreground on pharmaceutical application, great attention has been attracted to the synthesis of the new derivatives and analogues. In this dissertation, 1-C-(2'-oxoalkyl)-5-N-substituted-glycoribofuranosides, which used as latent substrates for intramolecular hetero-Michael addition, were converted to 2-ester and 2-ketone aza-C-glycopyranosides by base treatment. The transformation was achieved through β-elimination to an acyclic α/β-conjugated ketone or ester, followed by an intramolecular hetero-Michael addition by the 5-N-alkylated amino group. The 2-ester cycloaddition was highly stereoselective in favor of an equatorial 1-C-substitution while the 2-ketone cycloaddition was produced a pair of stereoisomers of 2′-ketonyl aza-C-glycoside. Additionally, the resultant different N-alkylated aza-C-glycopyranosides could be further prepared for various azasugar library constructions by removal of protecting groups. Synthesis of the key intermediate 1-C-(2'-oxoalkyl)-5-N-alkylated glycoribo- furanoside involved the introduction of 5-substituted amino and 1-C-2′-oxoalkyl groups from D-ribose. The 5-alkylated amino was introduced through two methods: (a) the 5-aliphatic series amino synthesized by the nucleophilic substitution of 5-mesylate using neat ethylamine, propylamine, butylamine, and hexylamine, (b) the 5-aromatic series amino synthesized by various aromatic aldehydes with C-5 amino under NaBH4 reduction. The 1-C-2′-oxoalkyl groups were introduced through oxidation of the ally group: the 1-C-allyl group was oxidized with Hg(OAc)2 and Jones reagent to the 2-ketonyl C-glycoside; the 1-C-allyl group was oxidized with KMnO4 and CH3I/NaHCO3 to 1-C-methyl acetate glycoside.

Behavior of crystalline silicon under huge electronic excitations: A transient thermal spike description

Recent experimental works devoted to the phenomena of mixing observed at metallic multilayers Ni/Si irradiated by swift heavy ions irradiations make it necessary to revisit the insensibility of crystalline Si under huge electronic excitations. Knowing that Ni is an insensitive material, such observed mixing would exist only if Si is a sensitive material. In order to extend the study of swift heavy ion effects to semiconductor materials, the experimental results obtained in bulk silicon have been analyzed within the framework of the inelastic thermal spike model. Provided the quenching of a boiling ( or vapor) phase is taken as the criterion of amorphization, the calculations with an electron-phonon coupling constant g(300 K) = 1.8 x 10(12) W/cm(3)/K and an electronic diffusivity D-e(300 K) = 80 cm(2)/s nicely reproduce the size of observed amorphous tracks as well as the electronic energy loss threshold value for their creation, assuming that they result from the quenching of the appearance of a boiling phase along the ion path. Using these parameters for Si in the case of a Ni/Si multilayer, the mixing observed experimentally can be well simulated by the inelastic thermal spike model extended to multilayers, assuming that this occurs in the molten phase created at the Ni interface by energy transfer from Si.

Preparation of silver nanowires in ion-track membranes

Polycarbonate (PC) membranes were irradiated with swift heavy ions and latent tracks were created along the ions' trajectories. Nanopores, diameters between 100 and 500 nm, were obtained after illuminating the membranes with UV light and etching in NaOH solution. Silver nanowires were produced in the etched ion-track membranes by electrochemical deposition. The morphology and crystallinity of the silver nanowires were studied by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and selected area electron diffraction (SAED). Under certain conditions (deposition voltage 25 mV, current density 1-2 mA.cm(-2), temperature 50 degrees C, electrolyte 0.1 mol.L-1 AgNO3), single-crystalline silver nanowires with preferred orientation along the [111] direction can be synthesized.

本文简要叙述了快重离子在固体材料，特别是聚合物材料中引起的强电子激发效应研究的基本理论、发展历史和研究现状。描述了在兰州重离子加速器上完成的25 MeV/u 86Kr离子辐照叠层聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯膜（PET）和聚碳酸酯（PC）膜的实验及结果分析。应用傅立叶红外变换光谱（FT-IR）及X-射线衍射分析（XRD）方法研究了在不同电子能损及不同注量辐照条件下，高能Kr离子在聚合物PET和PC潜径迹中引起的的损伤效应。结果表明：高能Kr离子在聚合物PET、PC膜引起的损伤主要是由于辐照引起的断键及键的重组产生的官能团的降解及非晶化过程，损伤截面存在电子能损阈值，且与官能团的结构有关。 对PET的傅立叶红外变换光谱分析结果给出，电子能损为7.25 keV/nm时，对应官能团吸收峰794 cm-1, 849 cm-1, 1021 cm-1, 1341 cm-1, 1410 cm-1, 1505 cm-1,的损伤截面半径分别为：3.63 nm, 4.70 nm, 4.58 nm, 3.54 nm, 5.17 nm, 5.32 nm。X-射线衍射分析结果表明，PET的非晶化转变截面随离子注量和电子能损的增大而增加，（100）衍射峰的相对强度I/I0随离子注量的增加而指数衰减，对应电子能损为6.62, 6.93, 7.25 keV/nm，其相应的非晶化半径分别为4.86, 5.64, 6.77 nm。 对PC的傅立叶红外变换光谱分析表明，当电子能损比较小，大多数官能团的红外吸收无明显变化，直到当辐照注量为2×1012 ions/cm2 且电子能损比较大时，其绝对吸收强度才发生明显的改变。电子能损为6.37 keV/nm 时，对应官能团吸收峰为519 cm-1, 605 cm-1, 724 cm-1, 1014 cm-1，其损伤截面分别为：13.12, 45.40, 50.21, 56.28 nm2

基于隐含狄利克雷分配模型的文本分类方法研究

随着互联网的不断发展，网络文本信息资源正在急剧增加，如何利用计算机自动有效地对海量的文本信息进行管理和查询成为了当前的迫切需求。而文本分类技术提供了一种对自然语言文档进行自动组织的有效手段。本文从模型平滑、类别信息嵌入和高性能求解算法等方面对LDA 模型（Latent Dirichlet Allocation，隐含狄利克雷分配）开展了研究，研究内容涉及文本分类中不平衡语料分类、文本表示、复杂分类器加速等多个方面，论文的主要工作和创新点总结如下：第一、为了克服传统LDA 模型平滑算法中直接修改多级图模型隐含变量分布的随意性我们提出了数据驱动的Laplacian 平滑方法和数据驱动的 Jelinek-Mercer 平滑方法。数据驱动的Laplacian 平滑方法缓解了传统LDA 模型的过拟合现象，数据驱动的Jelinek-Mercer 平滑方法在基本保持整体性能的情况下，降低了预测阶段的时间复杂度。数据驱动的平滑策略在平衡和非平衡语料库上都能够显著提高LDA 模型的分类性能。第二、传统LDA 模型计算目标文档在不同类别上的生成概率时，在文档非所属类别的隐含主题上会发生强制分配。针对这一问题我们提出了Labeled-LDA 模型将隐含主题和类别信息融合在一起，在分类目标文档时协同计算全部类别的隐含主题的分配以改善分类性能。第三、LDA 等隐含主题模型是近期在文本挖掘领域发展起来的重要研究方向，但是算法具有较高的计算复杂度。我们以动态负载均衡的算法为重点，研究和实现了LDA 模型在多内核计算机上的并行计算和CTM 模型（Correlated Topic Model，关联主题模型）在异构集群环境下的分布式计算。第四、基于提出的Labeled-LDA 模型我们设计和实现了一个具有柔性文本分类功能的实验系统。该系统利用Labeled-LDA 模型对目标文档中的隐含主题进行概率推断，进而得到文档在各类别上的分配量。相对概率支持向量机等判别模型概率估计方法，该分配量具有较明确的实际意义，同时避免了贝叶斯等生成分类模型输出极端概率值的问题。
