Spherical confinement of coulombic systems inside an impenetrable box: H atom and the Hulthén potential

The generalized pseudospectral method is used to study spherical confinement in two simple Coulombic systems: (i) well celebrated and heavily studied H atom (ii) relatively less explored Hulthén potential. In both instances, arbitrary cavity size as well as low and higher states are considered. Apart from bound state eigenvalues, eigenfunctions, expectation values, quite accurate estimates of the critical cage radius for H atom for all the 55 states corresponding to , are also examined. Some of the latter are better than previously reported values. Degeneracy and energy ordering under the isotropic confinement situation are discussed as well. The method produces consistently high‐quality results for both potentials for small as well as large cavity size. For the H atom, present results are comparable to best theoretical values, while for the latter, this work gives considerably better estimates than all existing work so far. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Quantitative surface-enhanced Raman measurements with embedded internal reference

Analytical applications of SERS are often more associated with qualitative than quantitative analysis, because of the difficulty in obtaining quantitative SERS results. In this paper we introduce a new strategy to quantitatively measure the SERS signals of analytes based on Au-core/Ag-shell nanoparticles with embedded 4-aminothiophenol as the internal reference. Successful detections of two analytes, Toluidine Blue O in aqueous solution (detection limit of 0.1 μM) and melamine in milk (detection limit of ∼5 μM), are demonstrated. The improvement in the linear fitting illustrates that the use of internal reference significantly improves the accuracy of the quantitative SERS measurements. The successful detection of melamine in milk illustrates the versatility of this detection scheme for a wide variety of analytes.

亲电取代反应中活性位点预测方法的比较

预测发生亲电取代反应的活性位点具有重要的理论和实际意义. 目前已提出了许多基于反应物自身电子结构的预测方法. 本文选择14 个单取代苯和8 个双取代苯作为测试集,对14 种预测方法的可靠性进行了详细的比较分析. 结果表明,福井函数、平均局部离子化能等体现局部电子软度的方法特别适合含有邻对位定位基的单取代苯和双取代苯体系,但对于含有单个间位定位基的体系,这类方法往往预测失败. 基于静电效应的预测方法整体表现明显不如体现局部软度的方法,但更适合含有单个间位定位基的体系. 对所有体系预测能力最稳健的是双描述符,因此可以作为普适性的预测方法.

Electrochemical Interpretation of Propagation of the Change in the Membrane Potential Using the Goldman‐Hodgkin‐Katz Equation

Nerve conduction has been frequently explained by the Hodgkin‐Huxley equation based on the flow of K⁺ and Na⁺ across the cell membrane. By considering the relation between the membrane potential and the membrane current based on the Goldman‐Hodgkin‐Katz equation, it becomes clear that the conventional analysis using the voltage‐clamp method is not correct and that the hyperpolarization condition is artificially made. Taking into account the channel functions and the electronic properties, we suggested a new propagation mechanism. When the nerve cell is excited by an external stimulus, the ligand‐gated channels at the synapse serve as an electric power source to propagate the change in the membrane potential to the synapse terminal along the axon and the voltage‐gated channels at the axon locally assist the directional propagation along the axon.     

半导体电极的平带电位

平带电位(E_(fb))是半导体/电解质溶液体系的重要概念,是半导体电极在平带状态时的电极电位,它是半导体电极特有的可以实验测定的物理量。利用Mott-Schottky曲线以及光电化学等方法可以测定平带电位,判断半导体的类型以及估算半导体的载流子浓度,其数值可用于推测半导体的能级结构,确定半导体材料的价带或导带能级位置。这对于与太阳能开发利用相关的半导体光催化和光电化学研究都是非常重要的。本文分析了半导体电极的能带弯曲及影响因素,首次提出半导体界面层内费米能级弯曲,阐明半导体电极平带电位的物理意义及其测定方法,以帮助初学者理解和应用平带电位。     

色谱柱分类数据库用于指导天然药物化学对照品色谱纯度测定时色谱柱理性选择

由于中药化学对照品多数来源于动植物药材,很容易混有结构类似物,故有机杂质测定是可能影响其化学对照品赋值准确性的关键风险因素。中药化学对照品的有机杂质测定通常采用药典收载或文献报道的高效液相色谱法,这些方法通常仅规定“以十八烷基硅烷键合硅胶为填充剂”,无适宜色谱柱的品牌信息,或者实验室无文献所用的色谱柱品牌,而目前市场上已有800多种品牌的C₁₈柱,生产工艺的不同导致不同品牌C₁₈柱的选择性有差异,甚至差异显著。这很容易出现由于色谱柱选择不适宜而导致测定结果不准确的风险。该文采用国外色谱柱分类数据库指导对照品纯度考察时色谱柱的理性选择,尽可能减少色谱柱盲选可能导致的纯度结果不准确的风险。首先,用数据库挑选2根选择性差异显著的色谱柱（选择性因子F≥6）进行平行实验,以尽可能反映采用不同品牌色谱柱可能出现的分离效果差异。如果这2根色谱柱的分离效果及纯度测定结果无显著性差异,则可以交叉验证该对照品纯度测定的准确性。否则需要从数据库中选择另外1根与之前试验中分离效果更好、选择性相似的色谱柱进行纯度结果验证。在N-反式-p-对香豆酰基酪胺和表儿茶素没食子酸酯首批对照品的纯度考察中,使用了上述策略并验证了其有效性和科学性,计划推广应用至更多的中药化学对照品,特别当其可能含碱性或弱酸性化合物时,更应该尝试采用本文推荐的色谱柱选择策略交叉验证其纯度测定结果的准确性。     

Distributed adaptive switching consensus control of heterogeneous multi-agent systems with switched leader dynamics

In this paper, the leader-following distributed consensus control problem is addressed for general linear multi-agent systems with heterogeneous uncertain agent dynamics and switched leader dynamics. Different from most existing results with a single linear time-invariant (LTI) leader dynamics, the leader dynamics under consideration is composed by a family of LTI models and a switching logic governing the switches among them, which is capable of generating more diverse and sophisticated reference signals to accommodate more complicated consensus control design tasks. A novel distributed adaptive switching consensus protocol is developed by incorporating the model reference adaptive control mechanism and arbitrary switching control technique, which can be synthesized by following a two-layer hierarchical design scheme. A numerical example has been used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
