Crosslinkable poly (p-phenylenevinylene) derivative

To simplify the fabrication of multilayer light-emitting diodes, we prepared a p-phenylenevinylene-based polymer capped with crosslinkable styrene through a Wittig reaction. Insoluble poly(p-phenylenevinylene) derivative (PPVD) films were prepared by a thermal treatment. The photoluminescence and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorbance of crosslinked films and noncrosslinked films were studied. We also studied the solvent resistance of crosslinked PPV films with UV-vis absorption spectra and atomic force microscopy. Double-layer devices using crosslinked PPVD as an emitting layer, 2-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole (PBD) in poly(methyl methacrylate) as an electron-transporting layer, and calcium as a cathode were fabricated. A maximum luminance efficiency of 0.70 cd/A and a maximum brightness of 740 cd/m(2) at 16 V were demonstrated. A 12-fold improvement in the luminance efficiency with respect to that of single-layer devices was realized.

略述浮游式海洋机器人的控制问题

本文探讨了海洋机器人的有关数学模型,坐标系的建立、描述方法、驱动方案、某些参数的闭环控制及其发展趋势等。 海洋资源是近三十年来许多国家争夺的主要对象。陆地资源的开发已有悠久历史,过去人类赖以生存的资源,主要来之于陆地。但陆地某些资源的开发和利用已接近尾声,据有关资料报导,陆地石油的开发可能只有几十年即将采尽。人类必须寻找新的资源产地,这就是海洋。那里有供几十亿人口生存的蛋白质和多种丰富的矿藏。 开发海洋有很大的难度,这个领域不适于人的直接生存,要想开发与征服海洋,必须借助于专用的工具,即海洋机器人。海洋深处的秘密人们还知道得很少,现正以各种技术手段进行探测。

Chemistry and synthesis of 3(2H)-furanones and 4,5-dihydro analogues: mechanistic investigations and stereochemical control

The subject matter of this thesis relates to the chemistry of the five-membered oxygen heterocycles – 3(2H)-furanones and their 4, 5-dihydro analogues. Chapter one of the thesis is a review of the relevant chemistry of the compounds: their synthesis and key transformations. In chapter two, new research on 3(2H)-furanones is outlined in two parts. The first describes an investigation into the cyclisation of α'-trialkylsilyloxyenone adducts with arenesulfenyl and selenenyl chlorides into the corresponding sulfur and selenium substituted 3(2H)-furanones without the involvement of a Lewis acid catalyst. The study, largely involving in situ NMR techniques, identified key features associated with the formation and reaction of the chlorosulfide and chloroselenide intermediates, including operation of the Thorpe-Ingold effect. The knowledge gained in this study was applied (the second part) to the synthesis of vinyl substituted furanone systems from α'-trialkylsilyloxydienones where choice of the reaction conditions and electrophilic reagent was a key feature. An important difference in the behaviour of arenesulfenyl and selenenyl halides towards conjugated dienes emerged from this work. This phase of the research concluded with a new synthesis of geiparvarin, a natural product possessing anti-tumour properties.

Delay activity of saccade-related neurons in the caudal dentate nucleus of the macaque cerebellum.

The caudal dentate nucleus (DN) in lateral cerebellum is connected with two visual/oculomotor areas of the cerebrum: the frontal eye field and lateral intraparietal cortex. Many neurons in frontal eye field and lateral intraparietal cortex produce "delay activity" between stimulus and response that correlates with processes such as motor planning. Our hypothesis was that caudal DN neurons would have prominent delay activity as well. From lesion studies, we predicted that this activity would be related to self-timing, i.e., the triggering of saccades based on the internal monitoring of time. We recorded from neurons in the caudal DN of monkeys (Macaca mulatta) that made delayed saccades with or without a self-timing requirement. Most (84%) of the caudal DN neurons had delay activity. These neurons conveyed at least three types of information. First, their activity was often correlated, trial by trial, with saccade initiation. Correlations were found more frequently in a task that required self-timing of saccades (53% of neurons) than in a task that did not (27% of neurons). Second, the delay activity was often tuned for saccade direction (in 65% of neurons). This tuning emerged continuously during a trial. Third, the time course of delay activity associated with self-timed saccades differed significantly from that associated with visually guided saccades (in 71% of neurons). A minority of neurons had sensory-related activity. None had presaccadic bursts, in contrast to DN neurons recorded more rostrally. We conclude that caudal DN neurons convey saccade-related delay activity that may contribute to the motor preparation of when and where to move.

Elements of the granular gland peptidome and transcriptome persist in air-dried skin of the South American orange-legged leaf frog, Phyllomedusa hypocondrialis.

The defensive strategy of amphibians against predator attack relies heavily on the secretion of noxious/toxic chemical cocktails from specialized skin granular glands. Bioactive peptides constitute a major component of secretions in many species and the most complex are produced by neotropical leaf frogs of the sub-family Phyllomedusinae. We recently reported that these skin secretions contain elements of both the granular gland peptidome and transcriptome and that polyadenylated mRNAs constituting the latter are protected from degradation by interactions with endogenous amphipathic peptides. This thus permits parallel amino acid sequencing of peptides and nucleic acid sequencing of cloned precursor transcripts from single lyophilized samples of secretion. Here we report that the protection afforded is sufficiently robust to permit transcriptome studies by cloning of full-length polyadenylated peptide precursor encoding mRNAs from libraries constructed using ambient temperature air-dried skin from recently deceased specimens as source material. The technique was sufficiently sensitive to permit the identification of cDNAs encoding antimicrobial peptides constituted by six different isoforms of phylloseptin and two dermaseptins. Also, for the first time, establishment of the nucleic acid and amino acid sequence of the precursor encoding the phyllomedusine frog skin bradykinin-related peptide, phyllokinin, from cloned cDNA, was achieved. These data unequivocally demonstrate that the granular gland transcriptome persists in air-dried amphibian skin—a finding that may have fundamental implications in the study of archived materials but also in the wider field of molecular biology.

On the function of the internal cavity of histone deacetylase protein 8: R37 is a crucial residue for catalysis

Biochemical studies reveal that a conserved arginine residue (R37) at the centre of the 14 angstrom internal cavity of histone deacetylase (HDAC) 8 is important for catalysis and acetate affinity. Computational studies indicate that R37 forms multiple hydrogen bonding interactions with the backbone carbonyl oxygen atoms of two conserved glycine residues, G303 and G305, resulting in a 'closed' form of the channel. One possible rationale for these data is that water or product (acetate) transit through the catalytically crucial internal channel of HDAC8 is regulated by a gating interaction between G139 and G303 tethered in position by the conserved R37.

Application Of the Michaelis-Arbuzov Reaction to the Synthesis Of Internucleoside 3'-S-Phosphorothiolate Linkages

The 5'-O-monomethoxytrityl-3'-S-(aryldisulfanyl)-3'-deoxythymidines 7 and 8 have been prepared by the reaction of 5'-O-monomethoxytrityl-3'-thiothymidine with the appropriate arenesulfenyl chloride. These disulfides undergo a Michaelis–Arbusov reaction with simple trialkyl phosphites to yield 5'-O-monomethoxytrityl-3'-thiothymidin-3'-yl O,O-dialkyl phosphorothiolates. More interestingly, 3'-deoxy-3'-S-(2, 4-dinitrophenylsulfanyl)-5'-O-monomethoxytritylthymidine 8 reacts with a variety of thymidin-5'-yl dialkyl phosphites to give dithymidine phosphorothiolate triesters with the phosphorothiolate group protected with either a methyl or a 2-cyanoethyl group. 3'-O-(tert-Butyldimethylsilyl)thymidin-5'-yl triethylammoniumphosphonate 17 is converted into the corresponding bis-(O-trimethylsilyl) phosphite by treatment with bis(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide. in situ Reaction of this phosphate with disulfide 8 gives, after work-up, the dithymidine phosphorothiolate diester directly. Methylation of compound 17 with methyl chloromethanoate, followed by silylation and subsequent reaction with disulfide 8, gives the methyl-protected dithymidine phosphorothiolate triester.
