Ozone and climate: a review of interconnections

Stratospheric ozone has been depleted over the last 25 years following anthropogenic emissions of a number of chlorine- and bromine-containing compounds (ozone-depleting substances, ODSs), which are now regulated under the Montreal Protocol. The Protocol has been effective in controlling the net growth of these compounds in the atmosphere. As chlorine and bromine slowly decrease in the future, ozone levels are expected to increase in the coming decades, although the evolution will also depend on the changing climate system.

On S-matrix factorization of the Landau-Lifshitz model

We consider the three-particle scattering S-matrix for the Landau-Lifshitz model by directly computing the set of the Feynman diagrams up to the second order. We show, following the analogous computations for the non-linear Schrdinger model [1, 2], that the three-particle S-matrix is factorizable in the first non-trivial order.

A USAID e a educação brasileira: um estudo a partir de uma abordagem crítica da teoria do capital humano

1\ guisa de uma fundarrentação teórica, procura esta dissertação, desmistificar tcx:1a uma noção de neutralidade conceitual do capital desenvolvida em função de una visão ideol~izada da economia da educação. A critica a este preconceito procurou se respaldar nos argumentos de autoridade dos classicos da economia; igualrrente, tenta desideologi zar a noção de capital humano, cujo desenvolvirrento é irrpropriarcente ~ tribuido à função da educação; e finaJ..nente, dirrensiona-a, no cont:exto prÕprio do ideário capitalista. Procura dem::mstrar que a ajuda proporcionada pela USAID ao processo educacional brasileiro era mais uma tentativa de garantir o lucro dos capitais investidos no Brasil, na rredida em que o aparelho ~ ducativo produzisse um contigente de mão de obra eficientemente capaz' de implerrentar o novo mcx:1elo econômico, implantado a partir de 1964. Olestiona a rrodernização do subsistema de ensino rrédio, considerado em função do "efeito derronstração" das Escolas polivalentes , que buscava adaptar o aparelho escolar ã racionalidade da empresa, na rredida em que, assim, internalizava, no alunaCio, pela profissionalização precoce, os valores capitalistas da competição e do lucro, COItO va leres universais. Discute a EPEM e o PREMEN como organismos criados para impl~ rrentar a transformação do subsistema de ensino nédio. Análisa as Confe rências de Educação e questiona o ideário da Escola Polivalente, identificando- o como contraditório e inconsistente para o modelo de sociedade sob o modo de produção capitalista, conforme é proposto pelo atual sistema de governo no Brasil. O seu conteúdo pretende atingir a profissionais de educação' em geral, e mais especificamente aos interessados em economia da educação,sociologia da educação e estudos sociais.

Enzymatic Logic Gates with Noise-Reducing Sigmoid Response

Biochemical computing is an emerging field of unconventional computing that attempts to process information with biomolecules and biological objects using digital logic. In this work we survey filtering in general, in biochemical computing, and summarize the experimental realization of an and logic gate with sigmoid response in one of the inputs. The logic gate is realized with electrode-immobilized glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase enzyme that catalyzes a reaction corresponding to the Boolean and functions. A kinetic model is also developed and used to evaluate the extent to which the performance of the experimentally realized logic gate is close to optimal.

Micropatterned nanocomposite hydrogels for biosensing applications

This paper describes the use of Au nanoparticle (NP)-containing hydrogel microstructures in the development of electrochemical enzyme-based biosensors. To fabricate biosensors, AuNPs were conjugated with glucose oxidase (GOX) or horseradish peroxidase (HRP) molecules and were dispersed in the prepolymer solution of poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEG-DA). Vinylferrocene (VF) was also added into the prepolymer solution in order to lower operating potential of the biosensor and to prevent oxidation of interfering substances. The prepolymer solution was photolithographically patterned in alignment with an array of Au electrodes fabricated on glass. As a result, electrode arrays became functionalized with AuNP/GOX- or AuNP/HRP-carrying hydrogel microstructures. Performance of the biosensors was characterized by impedance spectroscopy, chronoapmerometry and cyclic voltammetry. Impedance measurements revealed that inclusion of Au nanoparticles improved conductivity of PEG hydrogel by a factor of 5. Importantly, biosensors based on AuNP-GOX complex exhibited high sensitivity to glucose (100μAmM -1cm -2) in the linear range from 0.1 to 10mM. The detection limit was estimated to be 3.7×10- 7M at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. Biosensors with immobilized AuNP/HPR had a linear response from 0.5 to 5.0μM of hydrogen peroxide with sensitivity of 1.4mAmM -1cm -2. The method for fabricating nanoparticle-carrying hydrogel microstructures described in this paper should be widely applicable in the development of robust and sensitive electrochemical biosensors. © 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Tethered DNA scaffolds on optical sensor platforms for detection of hipO gene from Campylobacter jejuni

DNA biosensors have gained increased attention over traditional diagnostic methods due to their fast and responsive operation and cost-effective design. The specificity of DNA biosensors relies on single-stranded oligonucleotide probes immobilized to a transduction platform. Here, we report the development of biosensors to detect the hippuricase gene (hipO) from Campylobacter jejuni using direct covalent coupling of thiol- and biotin-labeled single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) on both surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and diffraction optics technology (DOT, dotLab) transduction platforms. This is the first known report of the dotLab to detect targeted DNA. Application of 6-mercapto-1-hexanol as a spacer thiol for SPR gold surface created a self-assembled monolayer that removed unbound ssDNA and minimized non-specific detection. The detection limit of SPR sensors was shown to be 2.5 nM DNA while dotLab sensors demonstrated a slightly decreased detection limit of 5.0 nM (0.005 μM). It was possible to reuse the SPR sensor due to the negligible changes in sensor sensitivity (∼9.7 × 10 -7 ΔRU) and minimal damage to immobilized probes following use, whereas dotLab sensors could not be reused. Results indicated feasibility of optical biosensors for rapid and sensitive detection of the hipO gene of Campylobacter jejuni using specific ssDNA as a probe. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
