基于八面体理论的岩石循环加-卸载本构模型及修正

探究岩石的受力特点及破坏特性是研究岩石地下工程安全性的关键,诸多学者都期望能在岩石本构模型的研究上取得突破性进展。在此背景下,提出了一种能够描述循环加-卸载条件下岩石的本构模型。首先,假设岩石的微元强度服从八面体剪应力理论并且微元破坏服从Weibull概率公式,将岩石本构中的损伤变量以及岩石微元强度表达式里包含的损伤因子进行本构变换,得到关于应力、应变等其他表现加-卸载下岩石损伤本构模型的参数,表示出岩石微元强度和损伤变量,再将得到的岩石微元强度和损伤变量代入所提出的岩石本构模型中,并进行等式变换得到一个函数表达式。通过将其与实验数据进行拟合对比分析,得出修正后的拟合参数,将其代入函数式中,得到损伤本构模型的修正式。最后将拟合参数进行必要的敏感性分析,得出各拟合参数的实际物理意义。     

Enantioselective Self‐Assembly of Triangular Dy3 Clusters with Single‐Molecule Magnet Behavior

Three pairs of enantiopure chiral triangular Ln₃ clusters, [Ln₃L_{RRRRRR/SSSSSS}(μ₃‐OH)₂(H₂O)₂(SCN)₄]?xCH₃OH?yH₂O ( R ‐Dy₃ , Ln=Dy, x=6, y=0; S ‐Dy₃ , Ln=Dy, x=6, y=1; R ‐Ho₃ , Ln=Ho, x=6, y=1; S ‐Ho₃ , Ln=Ho, x=6, y=1; R ‐Er₃ , Ln=Er, x=6, y=0; S ‐Er₃ , Ln=Er, x=6, y=1), have been successfully synthesized by a rational enantioselective synthetic strategy. The core of triangular Ln₃ is bound in the central N₆O₃ of the macrocyclic ligand, and the coordination spheres of Ln ions are completed by four SCN^? anions and two H₂O molecules in axial positions of the macrocycle. The circular dichroism (CD) and vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra of the enantiomers demonstrate that the chirality is successfully transferred from the ligands to the resulting Ln₃ clusters. Ac susceptibility measurements reveal that single‐molecule magnet behavior occurs for both enantiopure clusters of R ‐Dy₃ and S ‐Dy₃ . This work is one of the few examples of the successful design of a pair of triangular Dy₃ clusters showing simultaneously slow magnetic relaxation and optical activity, and this might open up new opportunities to develop novel multifunctional materials.     

Preparation,Characterization and Drug Release Behavior of 5-Fluorouracil Loaded Carboxylic Poly(ε-caprolactone) Nanoparticles

In this paper, 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) loaded carboxylic poly(ε-caprolactone) nanoparticles have been prepared by emulsification/solvent evaporation o/w method, and the drug release behaviors of 5-FU were investigated. The novel carboxylic poly (ε-caprolactone) (P(CL-OPD)-mal) was synthesized via conjugation of maleic anhydride to sodium borohydride (NaBH₄) reduced poly(ε-caprolactone-co -4- carbonyl -ε-caprolactone) (P(CL-OPD)), while P(CL-OPD) was synthesized in bulk by ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone and 4-carbonyl-ε-caprolactone (OPD) with stannous octoate as a catalyst. Their structures were confirmed by ¹HNMR, FT-IR and GPC. Dynamic light scattering (DLS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), zeta potential measurements were used for nanoparticle characterization. TEM and DLS showed the nanoparticles were with spherical shape and uniform size distribution (mean diameter 70～100 nm), respectively. Zeta potential analysis revealed that the nanoparticles had an increased negative surface with the increase of carboxyl group concentration. UV spectroscopy was adopted to study the entrapment and release behaviour. The maximum 5-FU loading efficiency was 14.39% with the entrapment efficiency be 42%. In vitro release studies were performed in PBS at 37°C. Results of the study showed that the release behavior can be well-controlled, and the balanced release was up to 96 h. P(CL-OPD)-mal nanoparticles would provide increased benefit in biomedical and pharmaceutical applications.     

SPE–HPLC–MS/MS method for the trace analysis of tobacco‐specific N‐nitrosamines and 4‐(methylnitrosamino)‐1‐(3‐pyridyl)‐1‐butanol in rabbit plasma using tetraazacalix[2]arene[2]triazine‐modified silica as a sorbent

Tobacco‐specific N‐nitrosamines (TSNAs), including N′‐nitrosonornicotine, 4‐(methylnitrosamino)‐1‐(3‐pyridyl)‐1‐butanone, N′‐nitrosoanatabine, and N′‐nitrosoanabasine, have been implicated as a source of carcinogenicity in tobacco and cigarette smoke. We present a rapid and effective method comprising SPE based on tetraazacalix[2]arene[2]triazine‐modified silica as sorbent and analysis with HPLC–MS/MS for the determination of TSNAs and 4‐(methylnitrosamino)‐1‐(3‐pyridyl)‐1‐butanol (NNAL), a metabolite of 4‐(methylnitrosamino)‐1‐(3‐pyridyl)‐1‐butanone, in rabbit plasma. The linear dynamic ranges were 10–2000 pg/mL for NNAL and 4–2000 pg/mL for the four TSNAs with good correlation coefficients (>0.9965). The LODs were in the range of 0.9–3.7 pg/mL, and the LOQs were between 2.9 and 12.3 pg/mL. The accuracies of the method were also evaluated and found to be in the range of 90.1–113.3%. This method is promising to be applied to the preconcentration and determination of TSNAs and NNAL in smoke and human body fluids.
