MnO_2掺杂的M_mNi_(3.2)Al_(0.2)Mn_(0.6)Co_(1.0)对NaBH_4氧化的电催化性能

通过测试线性扫描伏安曲线研究了MmNi3.2Al0.2Mn0.6Co1.0(Mm为混合稀土)经KOH处理和MnO2掺杂对催化NaBH4电氧化性能的影响.发现NaBH4在经KOH处理后的合金上峰电流达到50mA/cm2.若再进行MnO2掺杂,其电催化活性会进一步提高,当掺杂MnO2的质量分数为10%时,MmNi3.2Al0.2Mn0.6Co1.0对NaBH4电氧化的峰电位和峰电流密度分别为-0.45V和126mA/cm2,峰电流密度为只经过KOH处理的合金的2.5倍,是未经过任何处理的合金的9倍.     

Determination of amino acid enantiomers in orange juices by chiral phase capillary gas chromatography

Summary The configurations of free amino acids (AAs) in orange juice beverages (commercial products of satisfactory and unsatisfactory quality), an orange juice concentrate (bulk product suspected of being adulterated), and in an orange juice that has been contaminated by addition ofLactobacillus plantarum as a model for microbial spoilage, were determined, after derivatization, by means of gas-liquid chromatography (GC) using fused-silica capillary columns coated with Chirasil-L-Val or Chirasil-D-Val as stationary phases. AAs were isolated from juices by treatment with Dowex WX8 ion-exchanger and were investigated, by GC, as theirN(O)-pentafluoropropionylorN(O)-trifluoroacetyl 1-propyl esters. It was found that the high quality orange juice beverage contained L-AAs exclusively whereas this juice, after fermentation withLactobacillus, contained free D-Ala (32.7%), D-Val (62.3%), D-Phe (20.0%), D-Glu (24.3%), D-Ser (2.6%), D-Asp (0.8%), and significant amounts of D-Pro [% D=100 D/(D+L)]. D-Ala (8.8%) and D-Ser (4.2%) were found in a sensory and analytically unsatisfactory orange juice beverage, whilst D-Ala (27.5%) and D-Ser (14.3%) were detected in the orange juice concentrate suspected of being adulterated.Although capillary GC on chiral stationary phases is regarded as being highly suitable for the determination of AA enantiomers in fruit juice beverages, detection of D-AAs is currently not considered as conclusive proof of fruit juice adulteration caused by addition of AA racemates since a non-microbial origin of D-AAs in the respective juice, or an original occurrence of D-AAs, in either the free, substituted, or peptide-bonded form in the fruits, cannot be excluded with certainty.Presented in part at the Deutscher Lebensmittelchemikertag, Sept. 18–21, 1990, Frankfurt and at the 14.

Identification of adulteration in water buffalo mozzarella and in ewe cheese by using whey proteins as biomarkers and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry

A rapid and accurate method to identify bovine and ewe milk adulteration of fresh water buffalo mozzarella cheese by using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS) is described. The differentiation among mozzarella made from water buffalo milk and from mixtures of less expensive bovine and, more recently, ewe milk with water buffalo milk is achieved using whey proteins, alpha-lactalbumin and beta-lactoglobulins as molecular markers. It is worth noting that the method proposed here is, to our knowledge, the first strategy able to characterize possible fraudulent additions of ewe milk in samples of water buffalo milk devoted to the production of water buffalo mozzarella cheese. In addition, a linear relationship was found between the relative response of the molecular ion and the abundance of the analysed whey proteins. This demonstrates that this approach can be used to determine the amount of bovine or ovine milk added to water buffalo milk employed for mozzarella cheese production. Furthermore, this method also appears suitable for the analysis of ewe cheese. Hence these findings open the way to a new field for mass spectrometry in the evaluation of possible fraudulence in dairy industry production.     

Informal Networks and Absenteeism Within an Organization

This article discusses the relationship between the informal ties of the employees within an organization and their absentee rates.~To explain this relationship, the assumption is made that within a department, a more or less stable norm concerning illegal absenteeism exits, and that the strength of this norm is related to the tightness of the informal relationships between the employees: the more consensus on the absentee norm, irrespective of the degree of tolerance, the more cohesive this department. Furthermore, according to the fairness theory of Adams (1965), a relationship between the tightness of the informal relations, the norm concerning illegal absenteeism and the absentee rate is expected: the more cohesive, the higher the effect of the group norm on the short-term absentee rate. Network data of 62 employees of eight comparable teams within a housing corporation were collected by means of a questionnaire, and combined with data on the absentee rates of the employees. The data supported the hypotheses concerning the relationship between the group norm, the tightness of the informal relations and the short-term absentee rates of the employees within a department.     

Ba1-xSrxTi1-yMyO3固溶体的湿化学法合成与介电特性

A series of Ba_1-xSr_xTi_1-yM_yO₃ (M=Zr,Sn, 0≤ x≤ 0.5,0≤ y≤ 0.3) solid solutions were synthesized by chemical method at below 100℃ . XRD and cell parameters component figures of the series of the solid solutions powder demonstrated that the compounds are mutually miscible in the solid solutions. The particls size is about 70nm with spherical shape and uniform distribution. The result of preparing ceramics showed that after adulterating with Sr²⁺ and Zr⁴⁺ or Sn⁴⁺ in pure BaTiO₃ phase, the dielectric constant increased eight times while the dielectric loss decreased three times at room temperature.     

MALDI‐TOF mass spectrometry for the monitoring of she‐donkey's milk contamination or adulteration

Donkey's milk (DM), representing a safe and alternative food in both IgE‐mediated and non‐IgE‐mediated cow's milk protein allergy, can be categorized as precious pharma‐food. Moreover, an economically relevant interest for the use of DM in cosmetology is also developing. The detection of adulterations and contaminations of DM is a matter of fundamental importance from both an economic and allergenic standpoint, and, to this aim, fast and efficient analytical approaches to assess the authenticity of this precious nutrient are desirable. Here, a rapid matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization‐time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (MALDI‐TOF MS)‐based method aimed to the detection of bovine or caprine milk in raw DM is reported. The presence of the extraneous milks was revealed by monitoring the protein profiles of the most abundant whey proteins, α‐lactalbumin (α‐LA) and β‐lactoglobulin, used as molecular markers. The possibility of obtaining a quantitative analysis of the level of cow or goat milk in DM based on the MALDI‐TOF peak areas of α‐LAs was also explored. The results showed that the experimental quantitative values were in good agreement with the real composition of each mixture. As pretreatment of the milk samples is not required, and owing to the speed and the high sensitivity of MALDI‐MS, the protocol here reported could represent a reliable method for routine analyses aimed to assess the absence of contamination in raw fresh DM samples.

考虑农户“以次充好”行为的生鲜电商销售模式选择研究

考虑农户“以次充好”行为和电商企业抽样检测机制的基础上,运用博弈理论分别建立自营和平台两种销售模式下生鲜电商供应链的决策模型,对比研究了不同销售模式下电商企业抽样检测前后各方的最优决策及其期望收益。研究发现:(1)虽然电商企业的抽样检测将会降低农户“以次充好”的比例,提升在线销售生鲜品的品质,但却不一定带来自身和农户的收益增加;(2)无论自营模式还是平台模式,消费者的追溯赔偿和电商企业的严惩措施都会对农户“以次充好”行为起到抑制作用;(3)当农户存在“以次充好”行为时,抽检费用、内外部惩罚、信誉损失以及平台使用费等因素都将影响电商企业和农户对销售模式的选择。     

MANAGING ECOLOGICALLY INTERDEPENDENT SPECIES

ABSTRACT. We analyze open access harvesting of a predator species, while allowing for ecological interaction with herbivore species (the prey). In contrast to existing studies, we find that under some conditions open access harvesting may contribute to the abundance of predator and prey species. Particularly in fragmented habitats, moderate harvesting intensity may be a low‐cost substitute for management, and measures to reduce harvesting may result in collapse of predator and prey stock. These results highlight the importance of analyzing the ecological underpinnings of systems when manipulating economic parameters to promote conservation.
