MAGNETOSTRATIGRAPHY OF PERMO-TRIASSIC BOUNDARY SECTION OF MEISHAN OF CHANGXING,ZHEJIANG

A hundred and eleven samples were collected from the Permian-Triassic boundarysection of Meishan (31.1°N, 119.7°E) which includes the Changxing Formation of thelate Permian and the Qinglong Formation of early Triassic. The thickness of the sectionis about 60 m. Paleomagnetic results indicate that six normal and reversed polarity zoneswere recorded in the section which all belong to the Illawarra mixed interval. Theboundary of Permo-Triassic lies at 1.2 m (or 2.7 m) above the bottom of normal polarityzone V. The magnetic minerals in the rocks of the lower part of the Changxing Forma-tion mainly are goethite, haematite and titaniferous magnetite while in the upper part ofthe formation are chiefly titanomagnetite and magnetite, goethite is secondary. Magne-tite and haematite as the main magnetic minerals were included in marl and mudstone ofthe Qinglong Formation. Based on the results of the magnetically stable samples thepaleopole position of 50.7°N, 230.3°E was obtained, meanwhile, the paleolatitude     

EFFECT OF N,N,N~'''',N~''''-TETRAALKYL TEREPHTHALAMIDE ON NON-ISOTHERMAL CRYSTALLIZATION KINETICS OF POLYPROPYLENE

The effect of N,N,N',N'-tetraalkyl terephthalamide (TATA) on the non-isothermal crystallization and melting characteristics of polypropylene (PP) was studied. The addition of TATA can lead to the formation of β-crystal PP. With the increase in TATA concentration the degree of crystallinity for β-crystal PP increased significantly, and that for α-crystal PP decreased, which indicated that TATA effectively induced the formation of β-crystal PP. WAXD also revealed the existence of β-crystal PP after the introduction of TATA into PP. PP containing TATA crystallized at a temperature range of 5-10℃ higher than that of pure PP, and the half-crystallization time (t1/2) and Avrami exponent (n) of PP at the same cooling rate were decreased by the addition of TATA, indicating that TATA influenced the crystallization rate and crystallization growth mode of PP. The rate constant of crystallization of PP containing TATA (Zc) was larger than that of pure PP, which further indicated that the crystallization of PP was accelerated by the addition of TATA.     

THE IMMOBILIZATION OF AMINOACYLASE AND THE RESOLUTION OF D,L-PHENYLALANINE

A polymer with suitable physical characters and matched functional groups was synthesized,and used as a supporter to immobilize aminoacylase. The results showed that this supporterhad high immobilizing capacity and high selectivity for aminoacylase. Immobilized amino-acylase had high specific activity. In this paper, we determine the physical and chemicalcharacters of aminoacylase for resolution of D,L--phenylalanine, including its optimum tem-perature, pH, ion concentration, activated ion, substrate concentration, thermal stability anddenaturation. The immobilized aminoacylase was used to resolve the D,L-phenylalaninecontinuously. Thc resolved products was separated and purified with ion-exchange resins. L-phenylalanine solution was concentrated by vacuum evaporation and its hydrochloride wasformed. Checking of final product with polarimeter showed high yield and purity.

GEOCHEMISTRY OF SEDIMENTS AND ENVIRONMENT IN XIHU LAKE OF GREAT WALL STATION OF CHINA, ANTARCTICA

The determined results in this paper, which were obtained by the multielement analysis of the 260 cm-deep core sediments under the water of Xihu Lake in the Great Wall Station area, are as follows: The Cenozoic volcanic rocks around Xihu Lake are the main source of sediments in the lake. The chemical differentiation in very fine particles is still detectable. From the variation of ratios of the Cs/Rb, Br/CI and La/Yb in the clay fraction with depth and from the variation or CaCO_3 contained in the sediments, cation replacing amount in the clay grains and the sediment grain sizes in time, it can be seen that since 3600 a. B. P., there has existed the climatic variation of warm-cold-warm, which embodies the advance and retreat history of the ice sheet in this area.     

EFFECT OF N,N,N’,N’-TETRAALKYL TEREPHTHALAMIDE ON NON-ISOTHERMAL CRYSTALLIZATION KINETICS OF POLYPROPYLENE

The effect of N,N,N＇,N＇-tetraalkyl terephthalamide （TATA） on the non-isothermal crystallization and melting characteristics ofpolypropylene （PP） was studied. The addition of TATA can lead to the formation ofβ-crystal PP. With the increase in TATA concentration the degree of crystallinity for β-crystal PP increased significantly, and that for a-crystal PP decreased, which indicated that TATA effectively induced the formation of β-crystal PP. WAXD also revealed the existence of β-crystal PP after the introduction of TATA into PP. PP containing TATA crystallized at a temperature range of 5-10℃ higher than that of pure PP, and the half-crystallization time （t1/2） and Avrami exponent （n） of PP at the same cooling rate were decreased by the addition of TATA, indicating that TATA influenced the crystallization rate and crystallization growth mode of PP.

SYNTHESIS OF BENZO[1,2-b: 5,4-b′]- DIFURANYL-TRIAZOLES, -OXADIAZOLES, -THIAZOLIDINONES, -THIADIAZOLES,AND THE USE OF DNA IN EVALUATION OF THEIR BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY

Benzo[1,2-b:5,4-b′]difuran-2-carbohydrazides 5a, b were reacted with aryl or alkyl isothiocyanates to give the corresponding thiosemicarbazides 6a–h. Cyclization of the substituted thiosemicarbazides with sodium hydroxide led to the formation of benzo[1,2-b:5,4-b′]difuranyl-1,3,4-triazoles 7a–f. Desulfurization of thiosemicarbazides by mercuric oxide gave benzo[1,2-b:5,4-b′]difuranyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles 8a–f. Treatment of thiosemicarbazides with ethyl bromoacetate or α-bromopropionic acid yielded benzo[1,2-b:5,4-b′]difuranyl-carbonyl-hydrazono-4-thiazolidinones 9a–f and 10a–f, respectively. Furthermore, the reaction of the thiosemicarbazides with phosphorus oxychloride gave benzo[1,2-b:5,4-b′]difuranyl-1,3,4-thiadiazoles 11a–f. Some compounds in this study were biologically evaluated for their ability to bind to DNA.

EFFECTS OF L-GLUTAMINE, GLUTAMINASE AND GLUTAMINE SYNTHETASE ON CAP THRESHOLD OF COCHLEAR NERVE OF GUINEA PIG

Negative direct current (__DC 300 μA) stimulation was applied to the round window ofthe guinea pig cochlea to exhaust the pre-synaptic intracellular reserves of the transmitter inhair cells, and then the scala tympani was perfused respectively with L- glutamine, glutaminesynthetase and glutaminase. Experimental results showed that the negative DC electricalstimulation applied to the round window elevated the CAP threshold of the cochlear nervein the basal turn of the cochlea, which recovered over a period of approximately 17- 39 min.The perfusion of L- glutamine apparently elevated the CAP threshold. The recovery of theCAP threshold following electrical stimulation, however, was accelerated by the perfusion of10 mmol/L L- glutamine. The time for recovery only took about 5- 6 min. The perfusion ofenzyme glutamine synthetase elevated the CAP threshold by 50 dB, while glutaminase hadlittle effect. These results suggest that the effect of L- glutamine on the CAP threshold inthe cocblea of the guinea pig ap     

CRYSTAL AND MOLECULAR STRUCTURES OF TWO ISOMERS OF DIETHYL 2, 3-DICYANO-2, 3-DIPHENYLSUCCINATE

Diethyl 2, 3-dicyano-2, 3-diphenylsuccinate was prepared through the oxidative coupling of ethyl α-cyanophenylacetate with Cu~(++)-TMEDA-O_2 system. The product gave, upon chromatography, two crystalline compounds 1 and 2. The single crystals of 1 and 2 were identified by X-ray crystallographic analysis to be meso-and racemie-diethyl 2,3-dicyano-2,3-diphenylsuccinate respectively. It is noteworthy that in the molecules of 1 and 2 there is a remarkable lengthening effect of the bond length for the central C—C bond, i. e. 1: 1.585; 2: 1.62. It is also observed that there is steric hindrance between the substituent groups attached to the two carbon atoms of the central C—C bond respectively. These data provide the structural basis for the facile dissociation into radicals and the action of polymerization initiator of the title compound. CNDO/2 calculation of charge density and Wiberg bond order for compound 1 yields the results, which are consistent with the crystallographic data.     

DIELECTRIC PROPERTIES OF 1, 2-POLYBUTADIENES

The dielectric permittivity and loss tangent of 1,2-polybutadienes with different chain structures were determined as a function of temperature from-180℃ to 100℃ at different frequencies, and the frequency and structure dependence of the dielectric propertie of 1,2-polybutadienes have been investigated. It is found that a maximum of the permittivity occurs in the glass-transition region. The width of the glasstransition peak increases with increasing frequency while its height has little change. With a rise in the content of 1,2-units, the permittivity decreases and the height of the glass-transition peak slightly grows. A maximum of the width of the glass-transition peak appears when the content of 1,2-units is about 45%. Both the permittivity and dielectric loss drop down as the growth of the content of syndiotactic 1,2-units.

GEOCHEMISTRY OF STRATA-BOUND COPPER DEPOSIT OF MESOZOIC ERA IN CENTRAL YUNNAN, CHINA

On the basis of geochemical difference bettween the two main evolutionary stages oforganic matter and other characteristics, we propose to classify the general designation oflight-colored strata into two genetic types of diagenesis and sedimentary reformation. In thelight of geological characteristics of Mesozoic strata-bound copper deposit in central Yunnan.it is shown that mineralization mainly takes place during the sedimentary-reformed process.The migrating direction of ore-bearing fluid and mineralization mechanism are also discus-sed from the study of ore body shape, zonation of metal sulfides and some elements.     

DENSITY, EQUILIBRIUM HEAT OF FUSION AND EQUILIBRIUM MELTING TEMPERATURE OF NYLON 1010

The density, equilibrium heat of fusion and equilibrium melting temperature of Nylon 1010 were determined by means of infrared spectrum, differential scanning calorimetry, wide angle X-ray diffraction and density measurement techniques. According to Starkweatber' s method crystalline density ρ_c and amorphous density ρ_a were estimated to be 1.098 and 1.003 g/cm~3 respectively by extrapolating the straight lines of the IR absorbanee against density to zero intensity. Owing to the less intense in absorbance and less sensitive to the change in crystallinity of the amorphors band the thus obtained ρ_c was too low in value. Thereby the value of the ratio ρ_c /ρ_a is far less than generally accepted mean value for most crystalline polymers. Accordingly, traditional X-ray diffraction method was used through determining thc crystalline dimension(a=4.9, b=5.4, c=27.8, α=49°β=77.0°, γ=63.5°), and a rather correct value of ρ_c or the crystal density 1.13 g/cm~3 was obtained. The equilibrium heat of fusion △H_m~0 was estimated to be 244.0 J/g piotting △H_m 's of specimens with different crystallinity against their corre sponding specific volumes _(sp), and extrapolating to completely crystalline condition (_(sp)~c= 1/ρ_c) As to the equilibrium melting temperature T_m~0, because of the easiness of recrystallization of melt crystallized Nylon 1010 specimen, the well-known Hoffman's T_m-T_c method failed in determining this value and an usually rarely used Kamide double extrapolation method was adopted. The so obtained value of T_m~0 487 seems to be fairly reasonable.     

CLONING, EXPRESSION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF Pro3 GENE OF YEAST Saccharomyces cerevisiae

The proline biosynthetic pathway and Pro genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae have just begun to be studied recently. In our laboratory, Pro2 gene of S. cerevisiae had been cloned in yeast. As described in this paper, yeast Pro3 gene was also cloned, which can complement yeast Pro3 mutants, and be expressed efficiently in E. coli. The high activities of this gene product, L-pyrroline-5-carboxylate (P5C) reductase, can be detected in both organisms. The activity of the Pro3 gene product in multiple copy plasmids is not higher than that of single copy genes in chromosomes in both yeast and E. coll. The preliminary characterization of the gene is also reported.

ASSIGNMENT OF ~(13)C NMR SPECTRA OF POLYMER WITH SEMIEMPIRICAL METHOD——SURVEY OF SPECTRUM OF SECONDARY CARBON OF 1, 2-PBD

In chain molecules of 1, 2-PBD, there are two kinds of gauche arrangements, which is the cause of making the spectrum of the secondary carbon in main chain of the polymer split. In such a complex system, the gauche arrangements of the secondary carbon and the tertiary carbon occupy an important position. Hence, the contribution of the tertiary carbon to the chemical shifts of the secondary carbon has a decisive effect on the sequence structure distribution. In comparison the contribution of vinyl groups is much less. The γ values are: γ_1=-6.37～-6.41 ppm represents the effect of the tertiary carbon and γ_2=0.0～-1.56 ppm the contribution of vinyl. The mean square errors are 0.364 and 0.166×10~(-2) ppm~2, respectively in the two cases of considering the effect of vinyl and vice versa. In this paper, we discuss the effects of model chain type, chain length and temperature on the bond probability. Meanwhile, it is pointed out that there exist a few cases, which are not in accord with the usual distrib
