Sol-gel Transition of Methylcellulose Solution in the Coexistence of Hexadecyltrimethylammonium Bromide and Sodium Chloride

The sol-gel transition of methylcellulose (MC) solution in the presence of NaCl and hexade-cyltrimethylammonium bromide (HTAB), together with MC/NaCl solution in the presence of HTAB and MC/HATB solution in the presence of NaCl, was investigated by the rheolog-ical measurements. It has been found that the sol-gel transition temperature of MC solution decreases linearly with the concentration of NaCl in solution but increases linearly with the concentration of HTAB in solution, respectively. However, the sol-gel transition temperature of MC/NaCl solution in the presence of HTAB keeps the same value, independent of theconcentration of HTAB in solution. On the other hand, the sol-gel transition temperature of MC/HTAB solution decreases linearly with the concentration of NaCl in solution. The experimental results suggest that, for MC/NaCl solution in the presence of HTAB, the salt-induced spherical micelles of HTAB should have formed in bulk solution. For MC solution in the absence of NaCl, no spherical micelles have been formed in bulk solution, though the concentration of HTAB in our experiment is almost one order of magnitude higher than the critical micelle concentration of HTAB in polymer-free solution. In fact, due to adsorption of HTAB on MC chains, the realconcentration of HTAB in bulk solution, is much less than the apparent concentration of HTAB dissolved in MC solution.

Research progress of graphene-based nanomaterials for the environmental remediation

Graphene is a two-dimensional nanomaterial with huge surface area,high carrier mobility and high mechanical strength.Because of its great potential in nanotechnology and environmental protection,it has attracted much attention in environmental and energy fields since its discovery in 2004.Although graphene is a star material,many reviews have introduced its use in terms of energy,the research progress in the field of environment,especially water pollution control,has been rarely reported.Here,we review exhaustively the research progress of graphene-based materials in environmental pollution remediation in the past ten years.Firstly,the advantages and classification of graphene were introduced.Secondly,the research progress and main achievements of graphene and its composites in the fields of photocatalytic degradation,pollutant adsorption and water treatment were emphatically described,and the mechanism of action in the above fields was summarized.Finally,we discuss the problems existing in the preparation and summarize the application of graphene in the environment.     

Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometric (ICP/MS) Determination of Thallium in Soils and Winter Rapeseeds

Abstract

The ICP/MS method with lutetium, bismuth and indium as internal standards was used for the determination of thallium and other elements, i.e. Ti, V, Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, Rb, Mo, Cd, As and Pb, in soils and rapeseeds. Samples were collected in two thallium highly pedogeochemicaily contaminated areas situated in South Bohemia and in Czech-Moravian Highlands, in two river alluvia, in two control sites with low levels of TI and in one spot with anthropogenic contamination. Levels higher than 2.5 mg kg^?1 have been found in rapeseeds in the highly polluted areas (c. 2.8 mg kg^?1 in soils). High correlation coefficients, r > 0.81, between content of TI in top- and sub-soils and rapeseeds were obtained. Thallium concentrations exceed twice of Pb content and by one order of magnitude of Cd amounts. This finding are very important because of the high toxicity of TI and the absence of threshold limits for TI in soils, agricultural products and foodstuffs in the Czech Republic.     

谈科学探究中的归纳与演绎

逻辑推理过程与事物的认识过程同时存在,科学探究离不开逻辑推理过程。归纳和演绎是认识过程中的两种逻辑推理形式,在学生的科学探究活动中,尤其是在提出问题、猜想与假设、设计实验方案与解释结论阶段,归纳和演绎发挥着重要的作用。本文重点论述了寻求现象原因的求异归纳推理、探寻化学物质通性及变化规律的不完全归纳推理、探求个别物质性质的演绎三段论、解释个别现象的演绎解释推理过程在科学探究中的重要作用。

VISCOMETRIC INVESTIGATIONS OF POLYVINYLPYRROLIDONE IN MIXED SOLVENTS AND WITH VARYING TEMPERATURE

The viscosity behavior of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) has been determined at 25℃ in mixed solvents comprising water/dimethylformamide (DMF) and water /methanol (MeOH). Analysis of the data has considered the PVP as being both host and guest polymer in solution. The intrinsic viscosity of PVP in DMF is higher than in water and in MeOH, but also increases in a mixed solvent with high water content because of the effect of polymer-solvent interactions. It was also found that the intrinsic viscosity of PVP at finite concentration, [ηpvp]c decreases with an increase in the concentration of PVP in solution. The viscosity behavior of PVP in a mixed solvent is affected by the concentration-dependent intermolecular excluded volume effect, which can be quantitatively expressed by the parameter, bY, which reflects the shrinkage of PVP chain coils, resulting in a decrease of [ηpvp]c. The effect of temperature on the viscosity behavior of PVP in MeOH shows that the interaction parameter increases up to a maximum value, and then decreases after a certain temperature.     

Role of measurement uncertainty in conformity assessment in legal metrology and trade

There is increasing interest in the role of measurement uncertainty in conformity assessment, particularly where measurements are in support of fair trade, health & safety and the environment. A lack of clarity, however, in treating measurement uncertainties and in setting specification limits for compliance may sometimes lead to drastic consequences. Examples concerning conformity assessment, particularly in the measurement of trace quantities (Cd in plastics and antibiotic trace residues in shrimps), are amongst cases identified in the ongoing EU project MetroTrade, which can be significant impediments to international trade. This paper considers the present status of the role of measurement uncertainty in conformity testing, covering both recent work in international standardisation and physical metrology (e.g. OIML recommendations on weighing). One conclusion is that, while much has been achieved, there still exists some work to be done in order to facilitate acceptance of conformity from both customer and supplier and avoid perceived barriers to trade and serious international trade disputes.Presented at the MetroTrade Workshop on Traceability and Measurement Uncertainty in Testing, 30–31 January 2003, Berlin, GermanyAn erratum to this article can be found at     

Zinc in gastrointestinal and liver disease

Zinc is an essential trace element with important biological functions, depending on the structural and/or catalytic role played by zinc ions in a large variety of enzymes. Zinc plays a critical role in cellular integrity, protein synthesis, nucleic acid metabolism, contributing to cell growth, proliferation, differentiation and death. The present review reports data on zinc homeostasis and metabolism, zinc absorption, intercellular trafficking, intracellular transport inside enterocytes and hepatocytes. Particular emphasis is given to data regarding the role of zinc carriers ZnTs and Zips, and to their expression in liver and gut in experimental and in human studies. The role of zinc in the gastrointestinal tract and in the liver as a powerful antioxidant and its relationship with apoptosis is discussed. Possible implications of zinc status in different disorders of the gastrointestinal tract are presented, focusing on its possible introduction in the therapy of inflammatory bowel diseases. Data on the role of zinc and zinc carriers in the evolution of liver fibrosis towards cirrhosis are also discussed. Finally, data on the ability of zinc therapy to obtain regression of liver cirrhosis in patients affected by Wilson's disease are reported, and the hypothesis that zinc could protect against liver fibrosis in chronic liver disease of different origin is presented.     

大气臭氧化学研究进展

臭氧是大气化学中的核心物种。在平流层中，臭氧层可以吸收对生物有害的紫外辐射，对地球生命起保护伞作用。在对流层大气中，适量臭氧对清洁大气是有益的。但是，由于对流层中臭氧前体物排放量的增加，特别是在大城市，产生的高浓度臭氧会对大气环境造成严重污染，对人类、动植物和生态环境具有极大危害。臭氧的研究一般结合外场观测、实验室烟雾箱模拟和计算机数值模拟进行。深入开展大气臭氧化学研究，不仅有助于全面深入理解大气氧化过程以及全面掌握区域乃至全球大气自净能力，而且能为对流层污染控制提供科学依据和方案。本文总结了近年来有关臭氧化学的研究进展，论述了臭氧问题与人类当前面临的一些主要环境问题间的相互关系；重点综述了近年来有关南极臭氧空洞、中纬度地区臭氧低值和北极地区臭氧的损耗机理及其发展趋势；综述了臭氧与大气光化学和气溶胶间的耦合关系，并结合我国实际情况，提出了大气臭氧化学尚待深入开展研究的一些重要科学问题。     

青藏高原湖泊影响锂元素迁移和富集的矿物、元素及环境因素——以西藏郭扎错钻孔沉积物为例

作为我国战略性矿产的锂矿,主要赋存于青藏高原盐湖中。湖泊系统中,锂的富集和迁移规律关系到锂矿的高效提取和未来锂矿的储量估算。本文以西藏咸水湖郭扎错的钻孔沉积物为例,结合AMS14C年代和Mg元素含量变化,系统分析了孔隙水、碳酸盐矿物和硅酸盐矿物的锂含量变化,探讨了矿物、镁元素、环境变化和早期成岩作用等对锂元素迁移和富集的影响。郭扎错沉积物中锂和镁大部分存在于硅酸盐矿物中,锂和镁较高的相关性说明二者存在于相同的硅酸盐矿物中,如粘土矿物。大约90%的锂赋存在硅酸盐矿物中,约8.5%的锂赋存在碳酸盐矿物中,孔隙水中的锂含量占比仅约1.5%。碳酸盐矿物中Mg/Li摩尔比值为78–270,是孔隙水中10多倍,而硅酸盐矿物中的Mg/Li摩尔比值稳定在24–29之间。水–沉积物相互作用促进硅酸盐矿物中锂的释放,咸水环境下释放的锂多于淡水环境下。碳酸盐矿物中,锂和镁主要存在于方解石中。镁离子对锂离子的迁移具有阻碍作用,低温、高盐度下的阻碍作用更强。湖泊沉积物可能是湖水锂的一个重要来源。

Volumes of mixtures of alcohols in water at 25°C

Many studies support the idea that alcohols in water undergo microphase transitions which are, in many respects, similar to micellization. To investigate the interactions in these systems even further, the volumes of transfer of normal alcohols of intermediate chain length, kept near infinite dilution, were measured from water to aqueous solutions of 2-propanol and 2-butoxyethanol. These results were compared with the volumes of transfer of the same alcohols to aqueous solutions of octyldimethylamine oxide, a well-characterized non-ionic surfactant. The trends observed are all very similar, exhibiting in many cases a maximum in the transition region. This tends to confirm the formation of mixed aggregates in aqueous mixtures of alcohols, but, in a general way, it is also shown that the magnitude of an extremum in the functions of transfer is related to the relative hydrophobicities of the present solutes, the extremum appearing in most cases only when the transferred solute is more hydrophobic than the main solute.

Occurrence of methylated tin and dimethyl mercury compounds in a mangrove core from Sepetiba Bay,Brazil

Analyses of organotin and organic mercury compounds have been performed in a sediment core from Sepetiba Bay, Brazil, in order to investigate possible methylation pathways in a mangrove environment. The results have revealed that the physico-chemical conditions existing in this type of environment (high organic inputs, anaerobic conditions, microbial activity, etc.) account for high methyltin concentrations (mono-, di- and trimethyltin) in the sediments, which are dependent upon the total load of metal released (e.g. from anthropogenic sources). Furthermore, the presence of dimethylmercury and not monomethylmercury in the samples demonstrated a new pathway of transformation of mercury in the environment: this compound, thought to be unstable in sediment, is assumed to be stabilized by a conjunction of factors, such as high sulphide levels, anoxic conditions and constant inputs of methane into the medium.     

The Therapeutic Potential of Celastrol in Central Nervous System Disorders: Highlights from In Vitro and In Vivo Approaches

Celastrol, the most abundant compound derived from the root of Tripterygium wilfordii, largely used in traditional Chinese medicine, has shown preclinical and clinical efficacy for a broad range of disorders, acting via numerous mechanisms, including the induction of the expression of several neuroprotective factors, the inhibition of cellular apoptosis, and the decrease of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Given the crucial implication of these pathways in the pathogenesis of Central Nervous System disorders, both in vitro and in vivo studies have focused their attention on the possible use of this compound in these diseases. However, although most of the available studies have reported significant neuroprotective effects of celastrol in cellular and animal models of these pathological conditions, some of these data could not be replicated. This review aims to discuss current in vitro and in vivo lines of evidence on the therapeutic potential of celastrol in neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Huntington’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and cadmium-induced neurodegeneration, as well as in psychiatric disorders, such as psychosis and depression. In vitro and in vivo studies focused on celastrol effects in cerebral ischemia, ischemic stroke, traumatic brain injury, and epilepsy are also described.     

Determination of Heavy Metals in Crawfish (Procambrus clarkii) by Inductively Coupled Plasma–Optical Emission Spectrometry: A Study over the Season in Southwest Louisiana

Abstract

Six metals (cadmium, copper, nickel, lead, iron, and zinc) were determined by inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectrometry in crawfish (tails and whole bodies) and soil in the vicinity of the crawfish, in a season of 4 months (February through May) in southwest Louisiana. Cadmium and lead were not found in the tail or whole body. Nickel was found in some samples of tail but mostly in the April and May samples. Copper, iron, and zinc were found in both tail and whole body of the crawfish. Limited soil sampling showed no cadmium, nickel, or copper in soil, but levels of iron, lead, and zinc were detected.
