Hydrothermal Synthesis of Pb_(1-1.5x)La_xZr_(0.5)Ti_(0.5)O_3 (x = 0.01-0.06) Nanocrystallites

Lanthanum doped lead zirconate titanate (PLZT) ceramics display excellent electrooptic and photostriction properties because of the existence of cavities in the perovskite structure1-3. The PLZT powders are conventionally prepared by solid state reaction4-5, and the wet chemical methods such as sol-gel techniques are then introduced6-7. However, the homogeneity, morphology and size of the particles, which greatly affect the sinterability and the property of the resulting ceramics, are dif…

IntroductionBoth triazole derivatives and Schiff base have beenreported to possess significant antifungal[1—3]and plantgrowth regulatory activities[4—6].Triazole drugs are alsovery common in the medical field,which has given animmense impetus to the res…     

Rayleigh and Hyper-Rayleigh Scatterings from the Nanometer SnO_2 Particle in Solution

Nano-materials have been extensively studied in the past[1]. The quantum effect makes the properties of nano-materials dif- ferent from that of bulk materials. A few of publications regard- ing the catalysis, electronic structure, and optics of the nanome…     

Flow Injection Analysis of Histidine with Enhanced Electrogenerated Chemiluminescence of Luminol

Histidine is one of the necessary basic amino acids in biological bases, which often controls the catalytic activity of enzymes and acts in holding the higher structure of proteins. Furthermore, it is also an important ingredient in pharmaceutical preparations used for treatment of hetpatosis and nephropathy. Therefore, the determination of histidine in biological fluids and pharmaceutical preparations is of great importance. Various methods have been proposed for the detection of histidine …     

The Electron Transfer Reaction between ρ-Nitrobenzoates and β-N, N-Dimethylaminonaphthalene

Photoinduced electron-transfer (PET) reactions are fundamentally important in biology and technology1,2. Because of the complexity of PET in biological systems, many simple compounds were synthesized to look into its detailed mechanism3. In previous papers, we reported the electron transfer reaction in the supramolecular systems assembled by mono-6-p-nitrobenzoyl-b-cyclodextrin 6 and naphthalene derivatives in aqueous solution4. In the present paper the intermolecular electron transfer from …     

New Thiophene Derivatives with Two-photon Excited Fluorescence

Organic molecules that can simultaneously absorb two or more photons in reaching theirexcited states have recently been the subject in various photon-electronic fields. Tomeet the criteria for various nonlinear optical applications, such as three-dimensionaloptical storage1 and up-converted lasing2, molecules with large two-photon absorption(TPA) cross-section σ are required and have been synthesized. These dyes generallybelong to the structural modes of D-π-D, A-π-A3 or D-π-A, where D…     

Exponential Synchronization of the Linearly Coupled Dynamical Networks with Delays

In this paper,the authors investigate the synchronization of an array of linearly coupled identical dynamical systems with a delayed coupling.Here the coupling matrix can be asymmetric and reducible.Some criteria ensuring delay-independent and delay- dependent global synchronization are derived respectively.It is shown that if the coupling delay is less than a positive threshold,then the coupled network will be synchronized.On the other hand,with the increase of coupling delay,the synchronization stability of the network will be restrained,even eventually de-synchronized.     

The Existence and Long-Time Behavior of Weak Solution to Bipolar Quantum Drift-Diffusion Model

The authors study the existence and long-time behavior of weak solutions to the bipolar transient quantum drift-diffusion model,a fourth order parabolic system.Using semi-discretization in time and entropy estimate,the authors get the global existence of nonnegative weak solutions to the one-dimensional model with nonnegative initial and homogenous Neumann(or periodic)boundary conditions.Furthermore,by a logarithmic Sobolev inequality,it is proved that the periodic weak solution exponentially approaches its mean value as time increases to infinity.     

Interaction of Chelerythrine Choloride in Acid Buffer with Calf-thymus DNA

Several benzo[c]phenanthridine alkaloids (BPA) were found in plants of Caprifoliaceae, Fumariaceae, Meliaceae, Papaveraceae, and Ruracea families1. BPA represent a group of natural products, exhibiting multiple pharmacological properties and biological ac…     

Refolding with Simultaneous Purification of Recombinant Human Granulocyte Colony-stimulating Factor from Escherichia coli Using Strong Anion Exchange Chromatography

Human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (hG-CSF), a single chain polypeptidecontaining 174 amino acid residues (MW=18,800, pI=6.1), is one of the hemopoieticgrowth factors which plays an important role in stimulating proliferation, differentiation,and functional activation of bloodcells1. It contains a free cysteine at position 17 andtwo intramolecular disulfide bonds, Cys36-Cys42 and Cys64-Cys74, and the two disulfidebonds in G-CSF molecule are both required for its bioactivity2. Wh…
