The driving potential and cross sections for synthesizing super heavy nuclei with hot fusion

The dinuclear model of the formation mechanism of a superheavy compound nucleus assumes that when all nucleons of the projectile have been transferred in to the target nucleus the compound nucleus is formed. The nucleon transfer is determined by the driving potential. For some reaction channels, the relation between nucleon transfer and the evolution path of the neutron/proton ratio is rather complicated. In principle, both the dynamical equation and the driving potential should be a twodimensional explicit function of the neutron and proton. For the sake of simplicity we calculated the driving potential by choosing the path of the nucleon transfer which is related to the nutron/proton ratio, and the calculated evaporation residue cross-sections to synthesize the superheavy nuclei are much closer to the experimental data

Cosmological equations and thermodynamics on apparent horizon in thick braneworld

We derive the generalized Friedmann equation governing the cosmological evolution inside the thick brane model in the presence of two curvature correction terms: a four-dimensional scalar curvature from induced gravity on the brane, and a five-dimensional Gauss-Bonnet curvature term. We find two effective four-dimensional reductions of the generalized Friedmann equation in some limits and demonstrate that the reductions but not the generalized Friedmann equation can be rewritten as the first law of equilibrium thermodynamics on the apparent horizon of thick braneworld.

长白山阔叶红松林主要树种光合作用的光响应曲线

以叶片光合作用观测资料为基础,利用直角双曲线与非直角双曲线两种方法对长白山阔叶红松林的主要建群树种红松(Pinuskoraiensis)、紫椴(Tiliaamurensis)、蒙古栎(Quercusmongolica)、水曲柳(Fraxinusmandshurica)光合作用的光响应曲线进行了拟合.结果表明,两种方法拟合结果不同,直角双曲线方法简单,但非直角双曲线的拟合结果更符合生理意义.由直角双曲线拟合得出4个树种的初始量子效率α、最大净光合作用速率Pmax以及暗呼吸Rd大于非直角双曲线的拟合结果,而光补偿点Lcp随树种不同而有差异.两种方法得出4个树种的α、Rd大小顺序相同,分别是α为水曲柳>紫椴>蒙古栎>红松;Rd为水曲柳>蒙古栎>紫椴>红松,但由两种方法得出的Pmax、Lcp值大小顺序有差异.

Attachment of marine sponge cells of Hymeniacidon perleve on microcarriers

Toward the development of an in vitro cultivation of marine sponge cells for sustainable production of bioactive metabolites, the attachment characteristics of marine sponge cells of Hymeniacidon perleve on three types of microcarriers, Hillex, Cytodex 3, and glass beads, were studied. Mixed cell population and enriched cell fractions of specific cell types by Ficoll gradient centrifugation (6%/8%/15%/20%) were also assessed. Cell attachment ratio (defined as the ratio of cells attached on microcarrier to the total number of cells in the culture) on glass beads is much higher than that on Cytodex 3 and Hillex for both mixed cell population and cell fraction at Ficoll 15-20% interface. The highest attachment ratio of 41% was obtained for the cell fraction at Ficoll 15-20% interface on glass beads, which was significantly higher than that of a mixed cell population (18%). The attachment kinetics on glass beads indicated that the attachment was completed within 1 h. Cell attachment ratio decreases with increase in cell-to-microcarrier ratio (3-30 cells/bead) and pH (7.6-9.0). The addition of serum and BSA (bovine serum albumin) reduced the cell attachment on glass beads.

土壤有效氮及其相关因素对植物细根的影响

细根(直径≤2mm)作为植物吸收水分和养分的主要器官之一,在陆地生态系统养分循环和能量流动中起重要作用。开展土壤有效氮变化对植物细根影响研究对于了解全球气候变化条件下的陆地生态系统养分循环具有重要意义。本文就相关研究进行了综述:1)土壤有效氮变化对植物细根生长、发育、寿命及呼吸的直接影响;2)土壤质地、温度、大气CO2浓度和氮沉积等相关因素对植物细根的影响。由于研究方法及物种间差异等的影响,研究结果不尽相同。今后,应在不同空间尺度上深入研究土壤有效氮对植物细根的影响,而植物细根-土壤-微生物三者间相互关系变化对土壤氮变化的潜在响应将可能成为今后研究的热点问题之一。

钯/碳纳米纤维复合材料修饰电极同时检测邻苯二酚和对苯二酚

利用电纺丝技术制得钯/碳纳米纤维复合材料(Pd/CNFs),并将其用于修饰玻碳电极Pd/CNF-GCE/CME。Pd/CNF-GCE/CME对邻苯二酚和对苯二酚的氧化还原反应具有较高的电催化活性,显著提高了二者电化学反应的可逆性。考察了支持电解质的酸度对邻苯二酚和对苯二酚电化学响应的影响,选用0.1mol/LPBS(pH8.0)作为支持电解质。用微分脉冲伏安(DPV)法对邻苯二酚和对苯二酚进行选择性检测:当混合溶液中存在50μmol/L对苯二酚时,邻苯二酚的氧化峰电流与其浓度在1～90μmol/L范围内呈线性关系,检出限为0.3μmol/L(S/N=3);当存在50μmol/L邻苯二酚时,对苯二酚的氧化峰电流与其浓度在2～100μmol/L范围内呈线性关系,检出限为1.0μmol/L。另外,此修饰电极具有较好的重现性和较强的抗干扰能力。将此修饰电极用于模拟水样中邻苯二酚和对苯二酚的测定,结果令人满意。

Sensitive detection of cysteine based on fluorescent silver clusters

In this work,we report the application of novel, water-soluble fluorescent Ag clusters in fluorescent sensors for detecting cysteine, an important biological analyte. The fluorescence of poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA)templated Ag clusters was found to be quenched effectively by cysteine, but not when the other alpha-amino acids were present. By virtue of the specific response, a new, simple, and sensitive fluorescent method for detecting cysteine has been developed based on Ag clusters. The present assay allows for the selective determination of cysteine in the range of 2.5 x 10(-8) to 6.0 x 10(-6) M with a detection limit of 20 nM at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. Based on the absorption and fluorescence studies, we suggested that cysteine quenched the emission by the thiol-adsorption-accelerated oxidation of the emissive Ag clusters. The present study shows a promising step toward the application of silver clusters, a new class of attractive fluorescence probes.

The electrical and magnetic properties of lanthanide alkaline-earth transition-metal oxides

Five Ln(2)SrMCuO(6.5) oxides (M = Co, Ln = Y and Ho; M = Fe, Ln = Y, Ho, and Dy) were synthesized, and their crystal structures, IR spectra, and physical properties were studied. They have almost the same structure and crystallize in orthorhombic systems. Below room temperature, Y2SrFeCuO6.5, a known layered oxide, shows antiferromagnetic behavior, but the four new oxides are paramagnetic. Y2SrFeCuO6.5 fits the Curie-Weiss law in the temperature range 300-100 K, but Y2SrCoCuO6.5 shows complex magnetic behavior because of the disproportion of some Co+3 to Co+2 and Co+4 The five oxides are all p-type semiconductors in the measured temperature range and have large electrical resistivities at room temperature.

Toughening of poly(butylene terephthalate) with epoxidized ethylene propylene diene rubber

In this paper, unepoxidized ethylene propylene diene rubber (uEPDM) was first epoxidized with formic acid and H2O2, and then the epoxidized ethylene propylene diene rubber (eEPDM) was melt-mixed with PET resin in a Brabender-like apparatus. Toughening of PET matrix was achieved by this method. The dispersion of rubber particles and phase structure of the blends were also observed by SEM. It has been suggested that the epoxy groups in the eEPDM could react with PET end groups to form a graft copolymer which could act as an interfacial compatibilizer between the PBT matrix and eEPDM rubber dispersed phase. This is beneficial to the improvement of the impact performance of PBT. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Isothermal crystallization of PP-g-GMA copolymer

The overall isothermal crystallization kinetics for neat polypropylene and grafted polypropylene systems were investigated. The rate constants were corrected assuming the heterogeneous nucleation and three dimensional growth of polypropylene spherulites. A semiempirical equation for the radial growth rate of polypropylene spherulites was developed as a function of temperature, and was used to determine the number of effective nuclei of different temperatures. The number of nuclei in grafted samples was estimated to be 10(2)-10(3) times larger than that of neat polypropylene. (C) 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
