In view of an excellent agreement between the recently determinedvμ-hadron couplings and predictions of the standard model, the basic question discussed is how far its neutral current predictions
can be mimiced in going either from the isodoublet to an isotriplet (or an even higher isospin) left-handed representation
or from SUL (2) × U(1) toG × U(1), whereG is a simple group of rank two. This question is addressed with reference to a sufficiently broad class of schemes. Their
most distinctive properties are: in the higher isospin scheme, neutrino couplings are precisely in the form obtainable with
standard l.h. representation; the higher g.g. scheme isL+R type in which, to each light fermion of evenRU parity, a superheavy fermion of the same charge and oddRU parity is associated, parity conservation forbidding their mixing. Reasons for excluding theL-type andG2 higher g.g. schemes are given. Their neutral current predictions are compared with those of the standard model. A higher
isospin representation can mimic the predictions of the standard model in inclusive and semi-inclusivevμ-hadron reactions but is conclusively discriminated from the isodoublet representation by elasticvμ(−p scattering. TheG × U(1) scheme can mimic standard model neutrino sector but is conclusively discriminated from minimal scheme by parity violating
effects. 相似文献
Summary
N,N-Dialkyldithiocarbametohafnium(IV) complexes of the type -CpHf(S2CNR2)3, (R = Me or Et) have been prepared in nonaqueous media by reacting dichlorodicyclopentadienylhafnium(IV) with sodium salts of substituted dithiocarbamic acids. Conductance and i.r. studies show that these complexes are nonelectrolytes in which all of the dithiocarbamate ligands are bidentate. A coordination number of seven may be assigned to hafnium(IV) in these complexes, 'H n.m.r. spectra of the complexes in CDCI3 at ambient temperature (30°) indicate that the metal centered rearrangement and the S2C N bond rotation are both slow on the n.m.r. time scale. A capped octahedron configuration is suggested for these complexes.Author to whore all correspondence should be addressed. 相似文献
The conversion of the genomic information produced by the recent sequencing projects into a comprehensive understanding of the human proteome has yet to occur. A new technology that represents a potential bridge between genomics and proteomics is reverse transfection. Reverse transfection cell microarrays are produced by overlaying cDNA arrays with mammalian cells, generating localized clusters of transfected cells with each cluster overexpressing a unique protein. This miniaturized cell-based microarray format affords parallel functional analysis of thousands of cDNA constructs in a high throughput format. In this report we document the development of a co-transfection methodology for reverse transfection applications. The demonstrated high co-transfection efficiency with a "marker" plasmid encoding for GFP enables the identification of transfected cells and eliminates the need for epitope-tagged constructs in cell-based high throughput screening applications using reverse transfection. This co-transfection method was used to study in parallel the structure/function of multiple versions of the v-Src protein using automated fluorescence microscopy. The wild-type v-Src protein and four mutants having insertions or deletions in the SH2 or SH3 domains displayed high levels of tyrosine kinase activity in HEK293T cells. Three other mutated v-Src proteins, including a kinase-dead version, were shown to be defective for tyrosine kinase activity. This reverse co-transfection approach is applicable for high throughput screening of both cDNA libraries and positional scanning recombinant protein libraries. 相似文献
The large mass of the ninth pseudoscalar meson, the η', is believed to arise from the combined effects of the axial anomaly and the gauge field topology present in QCD. We report a realistic, 2+1-flavor, lattice QCD calculation of the η and η' masses and mixing which confirms this picture. The physical eigenstates show small octet-singlet mixing with a mixing angle of θ=-14.1(2.8)°. Extrapolation to the physical light quark mass gives, with statistical errors only, mη=573(6) MeV and mη'=947(142) MeV, consistent with the experimental values of 548 and 958 MeV. 相似文献
The structural and elastic properties of praseodymium monochalcogenides (PrX: X = S, Se, Te) and monopnictides (PrY: Y = P, As, Sb, Bi) with NaCl-type structure have been investigated by using an interionic potential theory with necessary modification to include the effect of Coulomb screening due to the delocalized f-electrons of rare earth ion. The calculations are done at ambient as well as at high pressure. The structure of the high pressure phase of PrX compounds is CsCl-type while all the PrY compounds have been found to undergo from their initial NaCl-type structure to high pressure body centered tetragonal (BCT) structure, which can be seen as the distorted CsCl-type with c/a ratio ≈ 0.82–0.87. The calculated transition pressures are in good agreement with the experimental results. The elastic properties like second-order elastic constants for PrX, Y compounds are calculated for the first time. The nature of the bonding is also predicted by calculating the distance between the ions with the increasing pressure. 相似文献
Nanofluids are obtained by suspending metallic or non-metallic nanoparticles in conventional base liquids and can be employed to increase heat transfer rate in various applications. In this study, the effects of adding three types of nanofluids on turbulent convective heat transfer at the entrance region of a constant wall heat flux tube were experimentally studied. The nanofluids were mixtures of aluminium oxide, copper oxide, and silicon carbide at various nanoparticle volume fractions ranging from 0.0002 to 0.002 in water. The convective heat transfer coefficient was measured at different Reynolds numbers of 10,000–50,000. At these concentrations and Reynolds numbers, a maximum of 11–18% of convection heat transfer coefficient was observed as compared to the base fluid, showing a 6–9% increase on average. In this study, it was observed that changes in the nanoparticle type had no considerable effect on heat transfer coefficient increase. According to the model proposed here, the dimensionless thickness of laminar sub-layer is specified as a functional equation of the volume fraction of nanoparticles for each material.
The spectral characteristics of different drugs i.e. sulfanilamide, sulfanilic acid, sulfosalicylic acid dihydrate (SSAD) and sulfamethoxazole in aqueous α-cyclodextrin (CD) have been investigated at neutral pH. The formation of inclusion complexes of sulfa drugs with α-CD leads to the changes in fluorescence and absorption spectra which further enable the calculation of association constant of the bind processes by implementing the non-linear regression on the experimental data. The standard Gibbs energy ΔG was also calculated for the systems in which complex formation was observed. The α-CD study indicates that the sulpha drugs form 1:1 inclusion complex with α-CD. 相似文献
The present study reports beneficial effect of hydroxytyrosol (HT) against arsenic (As)-induced oxidative stress in the rat brain. Rats were orally administered with sodium arsenite dissolved in distilled water (25 ppm, by oral gavage) for 8 weeks or HT (10 mg/kg b. wt.) in combination with As. Results showed increase in protein oxidation and lipid peroxidation, while catalase and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities as well as GSH content were decreased after As exposure in rat brain. Fourier transform infrared analysis showed significant alteration in peak area values that also validated the oxidative damage to lipids and proteins. In addition, As exposure caused increase in protein expression of caspase-3 and Bax, while Bcl-2 expression was downregulated resulting in translocation of cytochrome c from mitochondria to cytosol. Treatment of HT with As reversed protein oxidation, lipid peroxidation, and increased GSH content as well as catalase and SOD activities. Administration of HT also prevented translocation of cytochrome c from mitochondria and increased mitochondria/cytosol ratio of cytochrome c. Hence, treatment of HT with As improved antioxidant system and efficiently lowered the generation of oxidative stress in rat brain. 相似文献
A vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) model has been developed and validated with experimental data. The model consists of an extended transport model for the VMD process and is able to predict the effects of concentration and temperature polarization on the overall process performance. To validate the model, first it was tested with few experimental case studies from literature [S. Bandini, G.G. Sarti, Heat and mass transport resistances in vacuum membrane distillation per drop, AIChE J. 45 (7) (1999) 1422–1433; K.W. Lawson, D.R. Lloyd, Membrane distillation. I. Module design and performance evaluation using vacuum membrane distillation, J. Membr. Sci. 120 (1996) 111–121; A.M. Urtiaga, G. Ruiz, I. Ortiz, Kinetic analysis of the vacuum membrane distillation of chloroform from aqueous solutions, J. Membr. Sci. 165 (2000) 99–110]. Then the VMD model has been validated with experimental data collected from the recovery of aroma compounds from black currant [R.B. Jørgensen, A.S. Meyer, C. Varming, G. Jonsson, Recovery of volatile aroma compounds from black currant juice by vacuum membrane distillation, J. Food Eng. 64 (2004) 23–31]. In this work, recovery of 12 characteristic volatile aroma compounds from black currant juice has been studied. The simulated results from the VMD model, in terms of aroma concentration in the permeate have been compared with those obtained from laboratory experiments. The validated model has been used to study the effects of various process and membrane parameters on the concentration factor. The physical properties of various aroma compounds have been predicted using group contribution method as a function of temperature. 相似文献
