Higher spin entanglement entropy from CFT

We consider free fermion and free boson CFTs in two dimensions, deformed by a chemical potential mu for the spin-three current. For the CFT on the infinite spatial line, we calculate the finite temperature entanglement entropy of a single interval perturbatively to second order in mu in each of the theories. We find that the result in each case is given by the same non-trivial function of temperature and interval length. Remarkably, we further obtain the same formula using a recent Wilson line proposal for the holographic entanglement entropy, in holomorphically factorized form, associated to the spin-three black hole in SL(3, R) x SL(3, R) Chern-Simons theory. Our result suggests that the order mu(2) correction to the entanglement entropy may be universal for W-algebra CFTs with spin-three chemical potential, and constitutes a check of the holographic entanglement entropy proposal for higher spin theories of gravity in AdS(3).

Supramolecular Gating of Ion Transport in Nanochannels

Several covalent strategies towards surface charge-reversal in nanochannels have been reported with the purpose of manipulating ion transport. However, covalent routes lack dynamism, modularity and post-synthetic flexibility, and hence restrict their applicability in different environments. Here, we introduce a facile non-covalent approach towards charge-reversal in nanochannels (< 10 nm) using strong charge-transfer interactions between dicationic viologen (acceptor) and trianionic pyranine (donor). The polarity of ion transport was switched from anion selective to ambipolar to cation selective by controlling the extent of viologen bound to the pyranine. We could also regulate the ion transport with respect to pH by selecting a donor with pH-responsive functional groups. The modularity of this approach further allows facile integration of various functional groups capable of responding to stimuli such as light and temperature to modulate the transport of ions as well as molecules.

Scheelite-type MWO4 (M = Ca, Sr, and Ba) nanophosphors: Facile synthesis, structural characterization, photoluminescence, and photocatalytic properties

Scheelite-type MWO4 (M = Ca, Sr, and Ba) nanophosphors were synthesized by the precipitation method. All compounds crystallized in the tetragonal structure with space group 141/a (No. 88). Scherrer's and TEM results revealed that the average crystallite size varies from 32 to 55 nm. FE-SEM illustrate the spherical (CaWO4), bouquet (SrWO4), and fish (BaWO4) like morphologies. PL spectra indicate the broad emission peak maximum at 436 (CaWO4), 440 (SrWO4), and 433 nm (BaWO4) under UV excitation. The calculated CIE color coordinates of MWO4 nanophosphors are close to the commercial BAM and National Television System Committee blue phosphor. The photocatalytic activities of MWO4 were investigated for the degradation of methylene blue dye under UV illumination. At pH 3, BaWO4 nanocatalyst showed 100% dye degradation within 60 min. The photocatalytic activity was in the decreasing order of BaWO4> CaWO4>SrWO4 under both neutral and acidic conditions. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Boron-doped carbon nanoparticles: Size-independent color tunability from red to blue and bioimaging applications

Here, we report the hydrothermal synthesis of boron-doped CNPs (B-CNPs) with different size/atomic percentage of doping and size-independent color tunability from red to blue. The variation of size/atomic percentage of B is achieved by simply varying the reaction time, while the color tunability is obtained by diluting the solution. With dilution, the luminescence spectra are not only blue-shifted, the intensity increases as well. The huge blue-shift in the emission energy (similar to 1 eV) is believed to be due to the increase in the interparticle distance. The quantum yield with optimum dilution is found to increase with boron doping though it is very low as compared to CNPs and nitrogen-doped CNPs. Finally, we show that B-CNPs with a quantum yield of 0.5% can be used for bioimaging applications. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

稻属C染色体组物种的群体遗传学和物种形成研究

植物近缘物种系统发育和物种形成过程一直以来都是植物进化生物学研究中最基本的问题之一，是人们理解自然界物种多样性产生和变化的前提。近缘物种间通常形态相似，遗传和分子水平的分化很小且常受诸如渐渗杂交、谱系分选、种内重组等微观进化事件的影响，导致植物近缘物种间系统发育和物种形成过程研究极为困难。在过去十多年中，生物技术的革新和理论方法的发展极大地推动了进化生物学研究，促进了人们对一些重要模式生物与其近缘种间的系统发育关系和物种分化过程的认识，如人、果蝇、线虫、拟南芥和玉米等。然而，迄今在植物中，许多重要类群及其近缘种的系统发育和物种形成过程研究仍不多见，包括在具有特殊重要性的栽培作物中，如稻属（Oryza L.）。由于属内包含有重要粮食作物水稻，稻属向来都是禾本科内备受关注的一个类群。本研究中，我们通过多基因序列的方法，探讨了稻属C染色体组三个近缘二倍体物种的系统发育和物种形成过程，主要研究结果如下。 为选择适宜的实验策略和保证序列数据的真实性，我们利用不同聚合酶扩增自交的栽培稻Oryza sativa ssp. japonica和异交的O. longistaminata不同类型的基因片段，采用克隆测序的方法，评估聚合酶链式扩增反应（PCR）中产生的非真实变异的状况。我们使用exTaq、exTaq和Pfu混和酶和PfuUltraTM酶三种不同聚合酶扩增了Adh1、GPA1和Waxy三个基因片段。在检测到的非真实变异中，PCR 错误的类型主要为单碱基变异和不同等位基因间重组，其中以单碱基变异为主，且突变类型以转换占绝大多数。比较不同酶扩增错误的结果表明，高保真PfuUltraTM酶对PCR反应错误有显著的改善，在扩增产物的单克隆中几乎检测不到PCR噪音，错误率仅为0.0001%，而exTaq和混和酶的错误率分别为0.096%和0.073%。从不同物种比较结果来看，exTaq酶和Pfu酶混用时在自交的O. sativa ssp. japonica内对PCR错误也表现明显的改善，但在异交的O. longistaminata中改善效应不太明显。在三个不同基因位点上，PCR扩增错误出现频率随扩增区域增长而变大。在PfuUltraTM酶的扩增产物中发现重组最少，exTaq和混和酶重组较多，且混和酶对重组改善效果不明显。基于不同聚合酶扩增错误对比研究结果，我们认为，由于能保证序列变异的真实性且不遗漏等位基因，核基因的克隆测序较宜于分离杂合个体中不同的等位基因。 基于随机挑取4个叶绿体和10个核基因位点，利用12份Oryza officinalis、8份O. eichingeri和4份O. rhizomatis材料，对稻属C染色体组三个近缘二倍体物种的系统发育关系作了深入分析。利用不同的系统发育分析方法对单基因位点序列和合并序列数据作了分析，结果表明，稻属C染色体组三个近缘种间呈多歧分支。因此，三个二倍体C染色体组物种可能经快速辐射分化形成。在不同核基因和叶绿体基因的系统发育树中各分支枝长均很短，也表明C染色体组的三个物种可能在较短时期内分化出。不同基因间拓扑结构不一致主要受谱系随机分选的影响。此外，C染色体组不同物种间的种间渐渗和不同等位基因重组对系统发育树的冲突也有影响。值得注意的是，C染色体组三个物种的辐射分化不排除由于相邻两次物种形成事件间隔时间太近、目前数据量不够而无法分辨的可能。在本研究中，我们发现，对于系统发育重建困难的类群，利用等位基因构建物种谱系树有助于挖掘不同基因间结果不一致的因素。 基于10个随机选取的核基因序列数据，利用物种水平的取样方式和群体遗传学分析方法，我们研究了稻属C染色体组三个近缘物种O. officinalis、O. eichingeri和O. rhizomatis的核苷酸多态性，并根据多态性水平和式样，推测了三个近缘种分化的历史。结果表明，在C染色体组的三个近缘种中，仅分布于斯里兰卡的O. rhizomatis的核苷酸多态性水平相对最低（θsil = 0.0038），而间断分布于非洲和斯里兰卡的O. eichingeri最高（θsil = 0.0057）。与被子植物其他类群相比，稻属C染色体组三个物种的核苷酸多态性水平显得较低，O. eichingeri的核苷酸多态性仅约为玉米及其近缘野生种的23-46%和拟南芥的35%。C染色体组内三个野生种相对较低的核苷酸多态性水平可能起因于其较小的祖先有效群体。物种形成模型分析表明，O. officinalis和其近缘种从最近共同祖先分化开后可能经历了居群缩减的历史，且自最近共同祖先分开后，三个物种彼此间并无显著的基因交流。基于分子钟粗略估算了C染色体三个物种分化时间，结果表明，三个物种彼此在很短的时期内分开，约0.63-0.68 Myr。同时，O. eichingeri在非洲和斯里兰卡两个地理宗的分异时间约为0.37 Myr，且推测斯里兰卡的O. eichingeri主要由西非经长距离扩散传播到斯里兰卡。

Rearing of Labeo bata in sewage-fed fish culture pond

Labeo bata is a highly priced fish which commanding good consumer preference, even if the size is very small (15 to 20 g each), especially in West Bengal. With a view to evaluating the culture potential of this fish, repeated experiments were conducted at the Wastewater Aquaculture Division of the Central Institute of Freshwater Aquaculture, Rahara, West Bengal, during 1991-93 in ponds fed with treated domestic sewage effluent. An average production of 1270.63 kg per ha was obtained within 6 to 10 months for a uniform stocking density of 50,000 seed per ha. The average size attained by the fish in the different sets of experiments varied from 23.3 to 37.9 g as against the initial weight of 0.096 to 0.193 g. Details of management, growth, survival, quantity of sewage used and pond nutrient status and productivity are dealt with in this communication.

Effects of stocking density on growth and survival of Mystus gulio in nursery ponds

A study on the effect of stocking density on growth and survival of nona tengra (Mystus gulio) was carried out in brackishwater earthen nursery ponds (2 decimal each) for a period of 42 days. Five-day old captive bred tengra post-larvae (ABL: 4.53±0.83 mm and ABW:3.33 mg) were stocked at four different densities of 200/m² (Treatment-1), 250/m² (Treatment-2), 350/m² (Treatment-3) and 450/m² (Treatment-4). Fries were fed twice a day with a mixture of fine rice bran, mustard oil cake and fishmeal at the ratio of 2:1:1. The specific growth rate (SGR) of larvae did not vary significantly (p>0.05) between T1 (5.096% mg/day) and T2 (5.08% mg/day), but it was found significantly (p<0.05) higher from T3 (4.98% mg/day) and T4 (4.91% mg/day), respectively. The final survival rates of 89.25±5.41% in T1 and 88.72±6.09% in T2 were found similar (p>0.05), but significantly higher (p<0.05) than those of, 76.20±4.77% in T3 and 70.34±5.71% in T4. The results indicate that 5-day old hatchery bred nona tengra post-larvae can be nursed in earthen pond at a stocking density of 200-250/m².

结构因子相角的代数解法及K_8H_5[La(SiWMo_(10)O_(39))(SiW_3Mo_8O_(39))]·nH_2O的晶体结构

一 结构因子相角的代数解法晶体结构研究中的相角问题，一直是晶体学工作者努力探求的基本问题。几十年来，关于相角问题的研究已经取得了巨大的进展，直接法的成熟和普遍应用就是这个进展的显著标志。在直接法相角问题研究中，历来存在两种基本方法，即概率法和代数法。当前直接法的迅猛发展，则主要以概率法为基础，其应用的基本公式即是来自∑关系中的∑_2关系和由此发展出的TANGENT公式，并结合一系列的基本理论和辅助公式，从而使直接法的发展一直呈方兴未艾之势。与此形成鲜明对照的是，相角问题的代数法研究则有日趋下降之势，尤其近十年来则显著落后了。作者从近年来的∑关系研究中，看到要解决相角问题，代数法仍然有其潜在的应作价值，并认为在概率法可以得到应用的许多方面，在代数法那里都应找到对应的类似内容，而代数法在研究和应用中所表现出的不同于概率法的那些方面也正是在相角问题研究中最令人感兴趣的问题，这就是我们进行代数法研究的目的和出发点。（一）1.5和2.5阶代数式的提出及对±2~(II)型相角的估算。（二）一般类型相角的估算（三）结构相角通用代数式的推导。代数法不仅可用于结构半不变量O，π型相角的计算，而且可用于非结构半不变量的种种类型相角的估算，其中包括型和一般类型相角，而且其应用效果完全可以和概率法相比拟，在机时利用上前者有一定优势。通用代数式的获得将为代数法的普遍应用和计算机计算创造了方便条件。二稀土杂多酸根配合物K_8H_5[La(SiWMo_(10)O_(39))(SiW_3Mo_8O_(39))]·nH_2O的晶体结构采用低温技术，在-90 ℃的干燥氮气保护下，收集晶体衍射数据，以直接法解出结构。a = 17.485(5), b = 27.096(6), c = 21.642(5)A, β = 107.79(2)°, z = 4。最后的R值为0.097。中心离子La(III)同两个杂多酸根提供的8 个氧配合。而其中的W、Mo同氧的配位情况基本相同，者是与氧六配位，形成变形配位八面体。
