Assessing Earthquake Forecast Performance Based on b Value in Yunnan Province,China

Many studies have shown that b values tend to decrease prior to large earthquakes. To evaluate the forecast information in b value variations, we conduct a systematic assessment in Yunnan Province, China, where the seismicity is intense and moderate–large earthquakes occur frequently. The catalog in the past two decades is divided into four time periods (January 2000–December 2004, January 2005–December 2009, January 2010–December 2014, and January 2015–December 2019). The spatial b values are calculated for each 5-year span and then are used to forecast moderate-large earthquakes (M ≥ 5.0) in the subsequent period. As the fault systems in Yunnan Province are complex, to avoid possible biases in b value computation caused by different faulting regimes when using the grid search, the hierarchical space–time point-process models (HIST-PPM) proposed by Ogata are utilized to estimate spatial b values in this study. The forecast performance is tested by Molchan error diagram (MED) and the efficiency is quantified by probability gain (PG) and probability difference (PD). It is found that moderate–large earthquakes are more likely to occur in low b regions. The MED analysis shows that there is considerable precursory information in spatial b values and the forecast efficiency increases with magnitude in the Yunnan Province. These results suggest that the b value might be useful in middle- and long-term earthquake forecasts in the study area.     

Synthesis and in vitro cytotoxicity of novel dinuclear platinum(II) complexes containing a chiral tetradentate ligand

A series of novel dinuclear platinum(II) complexes with a chiral tetradentate ligand, (1R,1′R,2R,2′R)-N¹,N¹′-(1,2-phenylenebis(methylene))dicyclohexane-1,2-diamine (HL), and mono-carboxylic acid derivatives as ligands have been designed, synthesized, and characterized. In vitro cytotoxicity evaluation of synthesized complexes against human HepG-2, A549, HCT-116, and MCF-7 cancer cell lines has been conducted by MTT assays. All compounds showed antitumor activity to HepG-2 and HCT-116 cell lines. Compound L2 exhibited better cytotoxicity than that of carboplatin against HepG-2 and A549 cell lines and also showed comparable activity against HCT-116 cell line.     

Magnetic Solid-Phase Extraction and Ionic Liquid Dispersive Liquid–Liquid Microextraction Coupled with High-Performance Liquid Chromatography for the Determination of Hexachlorophene in Cosmetics

An efficient, simple, and fast method based on ionic liquid dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (IL-DLLME) followed by magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) was developed as a new technique for extracting and purifying hexachlorophene (HCP) in cosmetics prior to high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) determination. In this method based on IL-DLLME and MSPE, 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([C₆MIM][PF₆]) is used as the extraction solvent and Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles are used to remove hydrophobic additives in the cosmetics by physical adsorption. The main parameters affecting the efficiency of the IL-DLLME and MSPE of HCP were investigated and optimized. Under the optimum conditions, the method was linear in the range 0.5–40 µg mL^?1 with a correlation coefficient (R ²) of 0.9976 and had a detection limit of 0.14 µg mL^?1 at a signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of 3. The recoveries of HCP in three cosmetic samples using the proposed method were in the range 74.5–97.7%, and the relative standard deviations (RSD, n = 5) were in the range 3.8–6.7%. The developed method was successfully applied to the determination of HCP in cosmetics.     

Low Temperature Catalytic Hydrolysis of Carbon Disulfide on Activated Carbon Fibers Modified by Non-thermal Plasma

In order to improve the carbon disulfide (CS₂) catalytic hydrolysis efficiency of activated carbon fibers (ACFs), ACFs surface was modified by non-thermal plasma (NTP). In particular, the effects of modification conditions on the catalyst properties were studied, including the reactor structure, modification atmosphere, modification time, output voltage and discharge gap. The catalytic activity study showed that ACFs with NTP modification enhanced CS₂ catalytic hydrolysis. The optimal reactor structure, modification atmosphere, modification time, output voltage and discharge gap was a coaxial cylinder, an N₂ atmosphere, 5 min, 7 kV and 7.5 mm, respectively. The effect of the NTP modification on the micro-structural properties of the ACFs was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) methods. The results showed that NTP modification improved the dispersion of functional groups and increased the number of oxygen-containing and nitrogen-containing functional groups, thus the catalytic activity could be enhanced. The present results indicated that NTP modification was an effective way to manipulate ACFs surface properties for the CS₂ catalytic hydrolysis reaction.
