Electrochemical fabrication and electronic behavior of polypyrrole nano-fiber array devices

Electrochemically active Polypyrrole (PPy) nano-fiber array device was fabricated via electrochemical deposition method using aluminum anodic oxide (AAO) membrane as template. After alkaline treatment electrochemically active PPy nano-fiber lost electrochemical activity, and became electrochemically inactive PPy. The electronic properties of PPy nano-fiber array devices were measured by means of a simple method. It was found that for an indium-tin oxide/electrochemically inactive PPy nano-fiber device, the conductivity of nano-fiber increased with the increase of voltage applied on the two terminals of nano-fiber. The electrochemical inactive PPy nano-fiber might be used as a nano-fiber switching diode. Both Au/electrochemically active PPy and Au/electrochemically inactive PPy nano-fiber devices demonstrate rectifying behavior, and might have been used for further application as nano-rectifiers.

Spectroscopic properties of Nd3+-doped high silica glass prepared by sintering porous glass

A new kind of Nd3+, -doped high silica glass (SiO2 > 96% (mass fraction)) was obtained by sintering porous glass impregnated with Nd3+, ions. The absorption and luminescence properties of high silica glass doped with different Nd3+, concentrations were studied. The intensity parameters Omega(t) (t = 2, 4, 6), spontaneous emission probability, fluorescence lifetime, radiative quantum efficiency, fluorescence branching ratio, and stimulated emission cross section were calculated using the Judd-Ofelt theory. The optimal Nd3+ concentration in high silica glass was 0.27% (mole fraction) because of its high quantum efficiency and emission intensity. By comparing the spectroscopic parameters with other Nd3+ doped oxide glasses and commercial silicate glasses, the Nd3+-doped high silica glasses are likely to be a promising material used for high power and high repetition rate lasers.

High quantum efficiency and high concentration erbium-doped silica glasses fabricated by sintering nanoporous glasses

A new method was used to prepare erbium-doped high silica (SiO2% > 96%) glasses by sintering nanoporous glasses. The concentration of erbium ions in high silica glasses can be considerably more than that in silica glasses prepared by using conventional methods. The fluorescence of 1532 nm has an FWHM (Full Wave at Half Maximum) of 50 nm, wider than 35 nm of EDSFA (erbium-doped silica fiber amplifer), and hence the glass possesses potential application in broadband fiber amplifiers. The Judd-Ofelt theoretical analysis reflects that the quantum efficiency of this erbium-doped glass is about 0.78, although the erbium concentration in this glass (6 x 103) is about twenty times higher than that in silica glass. These excellent characteristics of Er-doped high silica glass will be conducive to its usage in optical amplifiers and microchip lasers.

Effect of La2O3 on microstructure and transmittance of transparent alumina ceramics

Optically transparent alumina ceramics were fabricated by conventional process and sintered without pressure in H-2 atmosphere. The results indicate that relative densities of alumina specimens increase to theoretical densities (T. D.) with increasing content of La2O3. With increasing holding time during sintering, much less pores and larger grains were found in the sintered alumina samples. Higher transmittance was achieved in alumina codoped with MgO and La2O3 as compared with that doped with MgO only. The total-transmittance of alumina sample is up to 86% at a wavelength range of 300 - 800 nm.

Spectral hole-burning of Eu3+: Y2SiO5 crystal at 579.62 mm

By using an Ar+ ion laser, a tunable Rh 6G dye laser(Linewidth : 0.5 cm(-1)) and a Coherent 899-21 dye laser as light sources and using a monochromator and a phase-locking amplifier, the optical properties of Eu3+ : Y2SiO5 crystal were detected. Persistent spectral hole burning (PSHB) were also observed in (5)Do-(7)Fo transition in the crystal at the temperature of 16 K. For 15 mW dye laser (Wavelength : 579.62 nm) burning the crystal for 0.1 s a spectral hole with about 80 MHz hole width were detected and the hole can been keep for longer than 10 h.

Effect of La3+ on microwave dielectric properties of (Pb0.45Ca0.55) (Fe0.5Nb0.5)O-3 ceramics

In this work, microwave dielectric properties of A-site substitution by La3+ in (Pb0.45Ca0.55) (Fe0.5Nb0.5) 03 system were investigated. Microwave dielectric properties of A-site charge unbalance substitution of [(Pb0.45Ca0.55)(1-x) La-x] (Fe0.5Nb0.5)O-3(+) (P45CLFN) were improved because the solid solution of small amount of surplus La3+ with (Pb, Ca)(2+) could eliminate oxygen vacancies, and the formation of secondary phase (pyrochlore) was also caused by surplus La3+. The decreasing of dielectric constant with the increase of La3+ content is due to the formation of pyrochlore. The grain size is changed slightly and Q(f) values (7000 similar to 7300 GHz) are almost unchanged at x = 0.02 similar to 0.10, but the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (TCF) are increased and changed from negative to positive. TCF is zero at x 0.075 with Q(f) = 7267 GHz and K = 89. TCF of all specimens are within +/- 5 x 10(-6)degrees C-1.

Spectroscopic properties of Ce : YAP scintillation crystal grown by temperature gradient technique

Spectroscopic properties of Ce-doped yttrium orthoaluminate (Ce:YAlO3 or Ce:YAP) crystals grown by temperature gradient technique (TGT) were investigated, and the effects of the growth conditions on the properties were analyzed.. Methods of optical absorption (OA), photoluminescence (PL), photoluminescence decay (PLD), X-ray excited luminescence (XL) and cathodeluminescence (CL) were used in these investigations. The results showed that the absorption band peak at 202, 394 and 532 nm originated from F and F+ color center induced by the weak reducing growth atmosphere, green emission band near 500 ran derived from Ce3+ -Ce3+ pairs and band at 650 similar to 850 run from some unintentional impurity in crystals.

本文在本实验室提供的新疆紫草愈伤组织高产系A1的基础上，采用二步培养法，进行摇瓶悬浮培养，分别在生长及生产培养基中测定了细胞生长，次生产物合成，培养基的C源（蔗糖）消耗，溶氧，电导率和pH值的动态变化曲线，确定了各动态曲线之间的关系，为进一步的放大培养提供了参考依据。同时，还测定了与细胞生长密切相关的过氧化物酶及与产物合成密切相关的苯丙氨酸解氨酶(PAL)的活性的动态变化曲线，进一步将宏观参数的动态变化与微观参数的动态变化联系起来。 本文还对不同理化因子对生产培养基中悬浮培养的细胞的生长及紫草宁衍生物合成的影响进行了研究。结果表明：过高或过低的供氧水平均不利于细胞的生长及产物的合成;C源及N源有较好的协同作用，适当地提高C源及N源的水平能明显提高紫草宁衍生物的产量：接种前往培养基里加入一定量的前体苯丙氨酸( Phe)，能明显提高紫草宁衍生物的产量，而在培养中期添加则有一定的负致应;一定量的拜土及琼脂(agar)的添加，对产物的合成均具有正效应，并且作用大小和细胞的生理状态有关。高密度培养的研究表明，在合适的接种量和培养基浓度下，适当提高溶氧，较大幅度地提高产量是有可能的，这还有待于进一步的研究验证。

稀土元素生物效应的蛋白质组学研究

蛋白质组学是研究细胞内全部蛋白的动态表达及其相互关系的新兴学科，是功能基因组学研究的重要组成部分和战略制高点，广泛应用于生命科学的各个领域，研究对象涵盖微生物、动物和植物等。 　　稀土元素（rare earth elements），亦称镧系元素（lanthanides），是性质相似的15种金属元素。随着稀土元素在工业、农牧业和医疗等领域的应用日益深入，它们对生物体的作用机制亟待研究。生物固氮作用为生命世界提供75%的绿色氮源，根瘤菌是重要的固氮微生物，具有基因组结构简单、培养周期短等特点。酿酒酵母是与人类关系最密切的一种酵母，不仅因为传统上其用于制作食品及酿酒，而且是现代分子生物学和细胞生物学中的真核模式生物。为了全面地了解稀土元素对细胞的作用，我们运用高分辨率的蛋白质双向电泳分离技术和高通量的蛋白质质谱分析手段以及生物信息学等方法，分析了稀土元素钆（Gadolinium，Gd）在原核生物费氏中华根瘤菌（Sinorhizobium fredii）USDA205和真核生物酿酒酵母（Saccharomyces cerevisiae）YM4271的生物效应。 　　结果表明，经1mM Gd(NO3)3处理12小时后，费氏中华根瘤菌USDA205中 22个蛋白质表达有差异。这些蛋白质可根据功能分为8类，包括转运蛋白、胁迫相关蛋白、代谢相关蛋白等。其中13个蛋白质表达量增加，9个蛋白质表达量下降。膜蛋白在差异蛋白中占有很大比重。另外，我们分析了不同浓度的钆处理后蛋白质表达的变化情况，发现蛋白质组的变化是与处理浓度密切相关的。研究中还发现同种浓度的钆与另一种稀土元素铒（Erbium，Er）相比，离子半径较小的铒离子对根瘤菌的抑制作用更加明显。 　　比较不同浓度的钆对酿酒酵母YM4271的影响，发现酵母对稀土元素的反应不及根瘤菌敏感，对数生长初期的酵母经钆处理12小时或24小时后均无显著变化。 　　本研究首次用蛋白质组学的方法研究稀土元素对微生物的作用，鉴定了一些有价值的蛋白质，并得到了它们的表达特点和相关数据，为更好地理解稀土元素的生物效应提供了有力的分子生物学证据。 　　

松嫩平原碱化草地景观空间格局及环境因子的综合分析

本文对松嫩平原羊草地的群落结构及空间格局进行了分析，主要内容包含以下三个方面： 1、本文第一部分是对碱化草地植物群落分布的空间、环境因子分离。决定碱化草地植物物种在空间分布的因素可以大致分解成4个部分：（1）通过物种的生态位起作用的环境因子;（2）决定物种、群落间竞争激烈程度的空间距离因子;（3）环境和空间因子的交叉或耦合作用;（4）其它未知因子（如生物和随机因子）。本研究在1996年野外实地采样的基础上，运用DCA消势对应分析（Detrended Correspondence Analysis）对群落主要变化趋势及其与土壤环境因子之间的关系进行了分析。运用DCCA消势典范对应分析（Detrended Canonical Correspondence Analysis）对影响松嫩平原碱化草地群落结构季节动态的空间和环境因素进行了定量的分解。结果表明： 在影响群落分布的各因子中，环境因子独立约占40％，而环境一空间耦合因子占35％，空间因子独立约占3％，其它因子约占20％。在诸多因子中，土壤的盐渍化程度在整个生长季起着决定性作用，但土壤水分和氮素的作用因季节而变化。在干旱季节，植物生长的主要制约因子表现为土壤碱化度和土壤水份，而土壤氮素的作用处于次要地位。但在降雨较多、土壤湿润度较大的季节，土壤氮素的影响明显增强，成为仅次于土经度的决定性因素。 2、第二部分对东北松嫩平原碱化草地植物群落空间格局的分形性质进行了分析，分别用边长－面积指数和Korcak指数估计了斑块边界复杂性和斑块面积分布的分形维数。结果表明： 随放牧强度增加，占优势的羊草斑块的相对斑块化加剧，而斑块的边界在中度放牧时最不规则： 在水淹地，占优势的羊草斑块和次优势的碱茅斑块、獐茅斑块的斑块边界复杂性和斑块化程度比未水淹地都低，说明水降低了群落复合体内的异质性： 水淹地优势植物斑块的边长－面积指数和Korcak指数均低于次优势种，但在重度放牧地结果好相反，说明两种样地处于不同的演替阶段; 斑块边界复杂性符合同一尺度规律，在现有的面积范围以内没有尺度转换，而斑块面积分布则存在尺度转换点。对重牧地和水淹地的尺度分析表明，较小尺度上， 群落空间格局的相对斑块化程度较低，说明较小尺度上的空间格局要相对稳定一些，而较大尺度上则相反。可能原因是放牧干扰对大尺度的斑块影响更大。 3、对1989年开始围栏封育的样地10年来的空间格局变化进行时间序列分析，研究恢复演替过程中各个主要斑块类型的分布特征及动态，以及整个样地总体格局在演替系列中的变化。得出如下结果： 羊草是该区植被的优势种，其格局动态为：1989－1993年，羊草斑块总面积增加，斑块数目减少，相对斑块化指数降低，1994年后羊草的空间格局基本稳定。 羊草的斑块面积分布曲线在20平方米左右发生转折，即空间格局在此尺度发生尺度转换。不同尺度上斑块的相对斑块化指数及其在恢复演替中的变化趋势不同：小斑块的相对斑块化指数低，在1989－1993年期间增加，而后降低;大斑块的情况正好相反。说明羊草空间格局的主要变化之一是中等大小斑块的合并和数目减少，羊草斑块生长对格局的影响比斑块合并的影响要小。 獐茅斑块的格局动态为：1989－1994，斑块总面积、斑块数目、最大斑块面积增大，1995年开始降低。相对斑块化程度则先降后增。碱蓬斑块在1989－1993年间的格局动态与羊草正好相反：总面积减少，斑块数目增加，斑块面积大小的变化范围变窄，说明1993年之前，控制碱蓬斑块的主要生态学过程是其他物种的侵入，隔离原来较大的斑块，同时占据某些小斑块。1994年之后，碱蓬斑块的变化比较随机，其格局变化受到其他物种如杂草对策种虎尾草等的影响很大。 样地总体格局的变化为：1991年前，斑块种类和总斑块数目增加，斑块化程度随着增大;1993年后，斑块种类基本稳定下来;1991－1995，斑块化指数降低。在此期间，斑块数目增加，所以斑块化程度降低意味着斑块大小频率分布趋于均匀，大斑块被分裂，小斑块在长大，群落总体空间格局逐渐稳定。总体格局在三个尺度上有不同的自相似规律，这三个尺度分别为：La(a)<=1; 15.5。小尺度上相对斑块化程度低，但年际间变化较中尺度剧烈;中尺度相对斑块化程度变化较为缓，大尺度上，斑块分布一直趋于减少最大的斑块数目。总的变化趋势为，随恢复演替的深入，最大和最小的斑块数目都减少，处于中间尺度的斑块最多。

ISOLATION AND PROPERTIES OF A BLOOD-COAGULATION FACTOR-X ACTIVATOR FROM THE VENOM OF KING COBRA (OPHIOPHAGUS HANNAH)

A specific blood coagulation factor X activator was purified from the venom of Ophiophagus hannah by gel filtration and two steps of FPLC Mono-Q column ion-exchange chromatography. It showed a single protein band both in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and alkaline polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The mol. wt was estimated to be 62,000 in non-reducing conditions and 64,500 in reducing conditions by SDS-PAGE. The isoelectric point was found to be pH 5.6. The enzyme had weak amidolytic activities toward CBS 65-25, but it showed no activities on S-2266, S-2302, thrombin substrate S-2238, plasmin substrate S-2251 or factor Xa substrate S-2222. It had no arginine esterase activity toward substrate benzoylarginine ethylester (BAEE). The enzyme activated factor X in vitro and the effect was absolutely Ca2+ dependent, with a Hill coefficient of 6.83. It could not activate prothrombin nor had any effect on fibrinogen and thus appeared to act specifically on factor X. The procoagulant activity of the enzyme was almost completely inhibited by serine protease inhibitors like PMSF, TPCK and soybean trypsin inhibitor; partially inhibited by L-cysteine. Metal chelator EDTA did not inhibit its procoagulant activity. These results suggest that the factor X activator from O. hannah venom is a serine protease.
