Direct electron transfer between hemoglobin and a glassy carbon electrode facilitated by lipid-protected gold nanoparticles

We synthesized a kind of gold nanoparticle protected by a synthetic lipid (didodecyidimethylammonium bromide, DDAB). With the help of these gold nanoparticles, hemoglobin can exhibit a direct electron transfer (DET) reaction. The formal potential locates at -169 mV vs. Ag/AgCl. Spectral data indicated the hemoglobin on the electrode was not denatured. The lipid-protected gold nanoparticles were very stable (for at least 8 months). Their average diameter is 6.42 nm. It is the first time to use monolayer-protected nanoparticles to realize the direct electrochemistry of protein.

Direct measurement of plowing friction and wear of a polymer thin film using the atomic force microscope

Nanometer-scale plowing friction and wear of a polycarbonate thin film were directly measured using an atomic force microscope (AFM) with nanoscratching capabilities. During the nanoscratch tests, lateral forces caused discrepancies between the maximum forces for the initial loadings prior to the scratch and the unloading after the scratch. In the case of a nanoscratch test performed parallel to the cantilever probe axis, the plowing friction added another component to the moment acting at the cantilevered end compared to the case of nanoindentation, resulting in an increased deflection of the cantilever. Using free-body diagrams for the cases of nanoindentation and nanoscratch testing, the AFM force curves were analyzed to determine the plowing friction during nanoscratch testing. From the results of this analysis, the plowing friction was found to be proportional to the applied contact force, and the coefficient of plowing friction was measured to be 0.56 +/- 0.02. Also, by the combination of nanoscratch and nanoindentation testing, the energetic wear rate of the polycarbonate thin film was measured to be 0.94 +/- 0.05 mm(3)/(N m).

Comparison of photobioreactors and optimal light regime for rapid vegetative propagation of transgenic Undaria pinnatifida gametophytes

BACKGROUND: Previously, tachyplesin gene (tac) has been successfully transferred into Undaria pinnatifida gametophytes using the method of microprojectile bombardment transformation. The objectives of this study were to compare and evaluate the performance of bubble-column and airlift bioreactors to determine a preferred configuration of bioreactor for vegetative propagation of transgenic U. pinnatifida gametophytes, and to then investigate the influence of light on vegetative propagation of these gametophytes, including incident light intensity, photoperiod and light quality to resolve the problems of rapid vegetative propagation within the selected bioreactor. RESULTS: Experimental results showed that final dry cell density in the airlift bioreactor was 12.7% higher than that in the bubble-column bioreactor under the optimal aeration rate of 1.2 L air min(-1) L-1 culture. And a maximum final dry cell density of 2830 mg L-1 was obtained within the airlift bioreactor using blue light at 40 mu mol m(-2) s(-1) with a light/dark cycle of 14/10 (h). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis indicated that genes (bar and tac) were not lost during rapid vegetative propagation within the airlift bioreactor. CONCLUSION: The airlift bioreactor was shown to be much more suitable for rapid vegetative propagation of transgenic U. pinnatifida gametophytes than the bubble-column bioreactor in the laboratory. The use of blue light allows improvement of vegetative propagation of transgenic U. pinnatifida gametophytes. (C) 2009 Society of Chemical Industry

牙鲆Paralichthys olivaceus（♀）×夏鲆Paralichthys dentaus（♂）分子遗传学及数量遗传学研究

本论文采用扩增片段长度多态性（AFLP）技术对牙鲆Paralichthys olivaceus群体和夏鲆Paralichthys dentaus 群体进行了种群鉴定和遗传结构分析。共用8 对引物对两个群体（每个群体30 个个体）进行了分析。总共产生了379 个条带，条带大小在60－1000bp。牙鲆与夏鲆的遗传多态性分别为53.83%和22.22%。牙鲆群体的多态位点数显著低于夏鲆群体。牙鲆群体和夏鲆群体种的特异条带分别为27.3% 和 29.61%。两群体平均杂和度分别为0.0701 和 0.1556，香农氏多态指数分别为0.1044 和0.2387。群体内平均遗传距离分别为0.0705 （0.0214 到0.1377）和0.1656 （0.0629 到 0.2338），两群体间的平均遗传距离为0.6328。 AFLP 技术是进行种间群体结构分析的一个很好的分子标记方法，对牙鲆和夏鲆亲本群体进行遗传背景析为今后的杂交育种阐明种间杂交的遗传机理奠定基础。 在本论文中我们采用5×8 因子交配设计建立了牙鲆P. olivaceus（♀）× 夏鲆P. dentaus（♂）杂交家系，对生长相关性状的遗传力进行分析。所有家系都混合养殖在同一养殖池中，40 日龄，在养殖池中随机采集600 个个体，测量体长，体宽，体重等数量性状；然后提取杂交子代DNA 进行家系的鉴定。首先从牙鲆的微卫星中筛选了在牙鲆、夏鲆以及杂交子代扩增多态性较好的10 对微卫星引物（Po1, Po13, Po20, Po35, Po42, Po48, Po56, Po58, Po91, Poli 23TUF）。我们采用了三对引物对600 个个体进行了家系鉴定，共有400 多个体鉴定出自己的亲本，成功率达到80％以上。基于以上结果我们认为微卫星标记可以做为一个有效的标记来代替现实的物理标记，并且可以在子代的早期进行亲本的鉴定。 在养殖过程中，我们对自交和杂交家系生长状况进行了跟踪分析，在181刘清华 牙鲆（♀）×夏鲆（♂）分子遗传学及数量遗传学研究 博士学位论文II日龄之前杂交鲆体长和体重均为未表现出杂种优势，杂种优势率值始终为负值，但是绝对值在逐渐减小。从196 日龄之后杂交鲆杂种优势开始表现出来，并且在196 日龄之后杂种优势率显著的增加。256 日龄体长杂种优势率为14.29%，体重杂种优势率为59.78%, 271 日龄体长杂种优势率达到27.36%，体重杂种优势率为 102.32%。 本研究对杂交鲆在40 日龄的体长，体高、尾柄长、尾柄高，以及全长和体重的遗传力进行了估计，5 个性状的体长半同胞遗传力h2 S 为0.00146－0.719，5个性状的全同胞遗传力h2D 为0.00121－0.632，5 个性状的半同胞和全同胞的平均遗传力h2SD 为0.001335－0.6755。其中全长的遗传力最大。实验结果说明对早期幼鱼进行体长、体重等性状实施选育策略可能会显著影响后期杂交鲆的生长。

末次冰盛期以来黑潮流域的古环境演化

2005年6月，中法国际合作在西太平洋海域执行IMAGES XII-MD147 Micro Polo1航次科学考察时，由法国极地研究所R/V Marine Dufresne极地考察船利用Calypso重力取样器于冲绳海槽南部钻取了34.2米长MD05-2908柱状样。本文利用AMS14C测年数据建立了该孔的年代模型，对该孔的浮游有孔虫动物群落进行了分析，并利用FP-12E浮游有孔虫转换函数和Q型因子分析方法对该孔浮游有孔虫数据进行了研究，对全新世以来的黑潮流系演化和古环境记录进行了讨论。 结果表明，中晚全新世存在着5次洪水爆发期，洪水爆发期与当时温暖气候相对应，而高海平面对洪水的爆发也产生了影响。进入全新世以来的6790～4000a B.P.期间，黑潮流一直有稳步增强的趋势，黑潮流始终位于冲绳海槽内；4000～3000a B.P.期间，黑潮强度减弱或者发生明显东偏，冲淡水影响增强；3000a B.P.以后黑潮强度逐渐增强，1650～0a B.P.为中晚全新世以来黑潮活动最强的时期,在600a B.P.和140a B.P.左右存在低值，黑潮强度短暂减弱。普林虫低值事件在MD05-2908孔中有很好的体现，对该事件进行了进一步定年，其发生时间为3900～2800a B.P.，持续时间为1100a，该事件的发生可能与东亚冬季风加强有关。 冲绳海槽中晚全新世气候变化可以分为四个阶段： 6790～4800a B.P.低温阶段，4800～4100a B.P.高温阶段，4100～2400a B.P.低温阶段，2400～0a B.P.波动高温阶段。通过与中国及世界其它地方对比可以识别出6.3～5.9、5.5、4.6～4.2、3.6～3.0、2.9～2.4、1.3～1.0、0.5～0.1ka B.P.六个降温事件，为全新世气候波动在深海高分辨率沉积记录中的响应提供了有力支持。该孔SST频谱分析结果显示，存在着3008a、1061a这种千年尺度的周期，以及215a、123a、103～107a、81～78a以及73～71a等周期，表明该孔SST变化与太阳活动强度是密切相关的。 中晚全新世以来，黑潮流在冲绳海槽逐步加强，到4000aB.P.左右达到最大，然后4000～3000a B.P.期间，黑潮强度明显减弱或者发生东偏，3000aB.P.以后，黑潮强度持续增强，在近1000aB.P.波动较大。 对冲绳海槽地区14个柱状样氧同位素以及P.obliquiloculata丰度进行研究，发现LGM以来，黑潮流可能仍然在冲绳海槽地区活动，并没有移出海槽外，但是由于其强度减弱，其流径发生了很大变化。

大别山高压-超高压带片麻岩锆石的研究

The zircons from gneisses in high and ultrahigh pressure (HP-UHP) metamorphic zones of the Dabie Mountains have been studied on three aspects in this paper, including (1) radiation damage of zircon using Laser Raman spectrum; (2) genesis determination of zircons based on geochemistry; (3) temperature estimate of the HP-UHP metamorphism using Ti-in-zircon thermometer. The zircons have the full widths at half-maximum less than 15 cm-1 at the 1008 cm-1 peak, suggesting that they are well crystallized to moderately damaged. The early inherited zircons from gneisses had undergone significant annealing and recrystallization during the HP-UHP metamorphic event. The α-doses that zircons suffered were accumulated from about 200Ma, indicating that HP-UHP metamorphic rocks have been exhumed to the surface of the earth at this time. The studies from the CL images, mineral inclusions, U-Pb ages and trace elements reveal that metamorphic zircons were formed as two kinds of mechanisms: metamorphic growth and recrystallization. The zircons of metamorphic growth and recrystallization zircons that were completely equilibrated during the HP-UHP metamorphic event have been chosen to carry out for temperature estimate using the Ti-in-zircon thermometer. The result shows that the HP-UHP terrain of the Dabie Mountains can be divided into five zones with temperature gaps, suggesting that the terrain consists of tectonic slices with different metamorphic history.

太阳耀斑和日食期间电离层行为的统计和模拟研究

The ionosphere is the ionized component of the Earth's upper atmosphere. Solar EUV radiation is the source of ionospheric ionization. Thus the ionosphere is affected strongly by the variations in solar radiation. Solar flares and solar eclipses can induce remarkable short time changes in solar radiation: the solar radiation would increase suddenly during solar flares and decrease significantly during solar eclipses. Solar flare and eclipse events not only affect directly the photochemical processes, but also affect the dynamic processes, and even affect the neutral atmosphere, which is strongly coupled with the ionosphere. The study on the ionospheric response to solar flares and eclipses can advance our knowledge on the ionosphere and its photochemical and dynamic processes and help us to evaluate the ionospheric parameters (such as ion loss coefficients). In addition, the study on the ionospheric responses to solar flares and eclipses is an important part of the ionospheric space weather, which can provide guides for space weather monitoring. This thesis devotes to the study on the ionospheric responses to solar flares and solar eclipses. I have developed two models to simulate the variations of solar EUV radiation during solar flares and solar eclipses, and involved in developing a 2D mid- and low-latitude ionospheric model. On the basis of some observed data and the ionospheric model, I study the temporal and spatial variations of the ionosphere during solar flares and eclipses, and investigate the influences of solar activity, solar zenith angle, neutral gas density, and magnetic dip angle on the ionospheric responses to solar flares and solar eclipses. The main points of my works and results are summarized as follows. 1. The ionospheric response to the X17.2 solar flare on October 28, 2003 was modeled via using a one-dimension theoretical ionospheric model. The simulated variation of TEC is in accordance with the observations, though there are some differences in the amplitude of the variation. Then I carried out a series of simulations to explore the local time and seasonal dependences of the ionospheric responses to solar flares. These calculations show that the ionospheric responses are largely related with the solar zenith angle (SZA). During the daytime (small SZA), most of the increases in electron density occur at altitudes below 300 km with a peak at around 115 km; whereas around sunrise and sunset (SZA>90°), the strongest ionospheric responses occur at much higher altitudes. The TEC increases slower at sunrise than at sunset, which is caused by the difference in the evolution of SZA at sunrise and sunset: SZA decreases with time at sunrise and increase with time at sunset. The ionospheric response is largest in summer and smallest in winter, which is also related to the seasonal difference of SZA. 2. Based on the observations from the ionosondes in Europe and the ionospheric model, I investigated the differences of the ionosphere responses to solar eclipses between the E-layer and F1-layer. Both the observation and simulation show that the decrease in foF1 due to the solar eclipses is larger than that in foE. This effect is due to that the F1 region locates at the transition height between the atomic ion layer and the molecular ion layer. With the revised model of solar radiation during solar flares, our model calculates the radiations from both the inside and outside of photosphere. Large discrepancy can be found between the observations and the calculations with an unrevised model, while the calculations with the revised model consist with the observations. 3. I also explore the effects of the F2-layer height, local time, solar cycle, and magnetic dip angle on the ionospheric responses to solar eclipses via using an ionospheric model and study on the solar zenith angle and the dip dependences by analyzing the data derived from 23 ionosonde stations during seven eclipse events. Both the measured and simulated results show that these factors have significant effect on the ionospheric response. The larger F2-layer height causes the smaller decrease in foF2, which is because that the electron density response decreases with height. The larger dip results in the smaller eclipse effect on the F2 layer, because the larger dip would cause the more diffusion from the top ionosphere which can make up for the plasma loss. The foF2 response is largest at midday and decreases with the increasing SZA. The foF2 response is larger at high solar activity than at low solar activity. The simulated results show that the local time and solar activity discrepancy of the eclipse effect mainly attribute to the difference of the background neutral gas density. 4. I carried out a statistical study on the latitudinal dependence of the ionospheric response to solar eclipses and modeled this latitudinal dependence by the ionospheric model. Both the observations and simulations show that the foF2 and TEC responses have the same latitudinal dependence: the eclipse effects on foF2 and TEC are smaller at low latitudes than at middle latitudes; at the middle latitudes (>40°), the eclipse effect decreases with increasing latitude. In addition, the simulated results show the change in electron temperature at the heights of above 300 km of low latitudes is much smaller than that at the same heights of middle latitudes. This is due to the smaller decrease in photoelectron production rate at its conjugate low heights. 5. By analyzing the observed data during the October 3, 2005 solar eclipse, I find some significant disturbances in the conjugate region of the eclipse region, including a decrease in Te, an increase in foF2 and TEC, and an uprising in hmF2. I also simulated the ionosphere behavior during this eclipse using a mid-low latitude ionospheric model. The simulations reproduce the measured ionospheric disturbances mentioned above in the conjugated hemisphere. The simulations show that the great loss of arriving photoelectron heat from the eclipse region is the principal driving source for the disturbances in the conjugate hemisphere.
