The coupled within- and between-host dynamics in the evolution of HIV/AIDS in China

In this work, we develop and analyze mathematical models for thecoupled within-host and between-host dynamics caricaturing the evolutionof HIV/AIDS. The host population is divided into susceptible, the infectedwithout receiving treatment and the infected receiving ART treatment in accordancewith China’s Four-Free-One-Care Policy. The within-host model is a typicalODE model adopted from literatures. The between-host model incorporatesage-since-infection described by a system of integrodifferential equations. Thetwo models are coupled via the viral load and number of CD4+ T cells ofwithin the hosts. For the between-host model with an arbitrarily selectedHIV infected individual, we focus on the analyses of the basic reproductionnumber R0 and the stabilities of equilibria. Through simulations we also findthat the within-host dynamics does influence the between-host dynamics, andthe nesting of within-host and between-host play a very important role in theHIV/AIDS evolution.

Transition Metal Doping Induces Ti3+ to Promote the Performance of SrTiO3@TiO2 Visible Light Photocatalytic Reduction of CO2 to Prepare C1 Product.

Transition metal Fe, Co, Ni and Cu doped strontium titanate-rich SrTiO₃@TiO₂ (STO@T) materials were prepared by hydrothermal method. The prepared doped materials exhibit better photocatalytic CO₂ reduction to CH₄ ability under visible light conditions. Among them, Fe-doped and undoped SrTiO₃@TiO₂ under visible light conditions CO₂ reduction products only CO, while M-STO@T (M=Co, Ni, Cu) samples converted CO₂ to CH₄. The average methane yield of Ni-doped STO@T samples are as high as 73.85 μmol g⁻¹ h⁻¹. The production of methane is mainly due to the increase in the response of the doped samples to visible light. And the increase in the separation rate of photogenerated electrons and holes and the efficiency of electron transport caused by the generation of impurity levels. The impurity level caused by Ti³⁺ plays an important role in the production of methane by CO₂ visible light reduction. Ni doping effectively improves the photocatalytic performance of STO@T and CO₂ reduction mechanism were explained.     

On the rate of convergence of the binomial tree scheme for American options

An American put option can be modelled as a variational inequality. With a penalization approximation to this variational inequality, the convergence rate of the Binomial Tree Scheme is obtained in this paper.     

Four novel insecticidal sesquiterpene esters from Celastrus angulatus

Four new insecticidal sesquiterpene polyol esters with a beta-dihydroagarofuran sesquiterpene skeleton, celangulatin C (1), celangulatin D (2), celangulatin E (3), and celangulatin F (4), and five known compounds 5-9 were isolated from the low-polar toluene extracts of the root bark of Celastrus angulatus by bioassay-guided fractionation. Their chemical structures were elucidated mainly by analyses of MS and NMR spectral data. Celangulatin C, E and F showed LD(50) against Mythimna separata were 280.4, 1656.4 and 210.5 microg mL(-1), respectively.

A new mechanism of benzophenone photoreduction in photoinitiated crosslinking of polyethylene and its model compounds

The photolytic products and a new photoreduction mechanism of benzophenone (BP) as a photoinitiator in the photocrosslinking of polyethylene (PE) and its model compounds (MD) have been studied by means of fluorescence, ESR, ¹³C and ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The fluorescence spectra from the PE and MD systems demonstrate that the main photoreduction product of BP (PPB) is benzpinacol formed by the recombination of two diphenylhydroxymethyl (K^•) radical intermediates. The ESR spectrum obtained from the UV irradiation of the MD/BP system gives positive evidence of K^• radicals. Two new PPB products: an isomer of benzpinacol with quinoid structure, 1‐phenyl‐hydroxymethylene‐4‐diphenyl‐hydroxymethyl‐2,5‐cyclohexa‐diene and three kinds of α‐alkylbenzhydrols have been detected and identified for the first time by ¹³C and ¹H NMR spectroscopy from the MD systems. The latter could be formed by the reactions of K^• radicals with alkyl radicals produced by hydrogen abstraction of the excited triplet state ³(BP)* from polyethylene or its model compounds. These results provide new experimental evidence for elucidating the photoreduction mechanism of BP in the photoinitiated crosslinking of polyethylene. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
