Mechanical Properties of Breast Cancer Cell Membrane Studied with Optical Tweezers

Membrane tethers are extracted from breast cancer cells using a force generated by an optical trap. It is experimentally obtained that the radius of tether is about 0.1μm and the static tether force is about 8.5 pN. Calculations based on the experimental measurements give a bending modulus for the tether of 1.35 x 10^-19 N.m and a surface membrane tension of 6.76 x 10^-6 N/m in the breast cancer cell. The treatment with cytochalasin D results in the decreasing bending modulus and decreasing apparent surface tension. When the membrane protein caveolin is over-expressed, similar cases occur in bending modulus and apparent surface tension. In addition, the viscous resistance coefficient of the membrane is calculated to be 1.15pN.s/μm according to the dynamic tether forces obtained under different pulling velocities.     

利用血管生成模型计算实体肿瘤内的血液动力学

肿瘤血管生成(Tumor-induced Angiogenesis)是指在实体肿瘤细胞诱导下毛细血管的生长以及肿瘤中血液微循环的建立。肿瘤内血液、组织液等流体流动在肿瘤药物输运过程中扮演着重要作用,而这些流动受到肿瘤内微血管网络结构的直接影响。目前要获得精确的肿瘤内外的毛细血管拓扑结构存在一定困难,因此给肿瘤内的血液动力学研究带来困难。本文根据肿瘤内外的复杂生理特性,建立肿瘤内外血管生成的二维离散模型,在获得相对真实的毛细血管网络拓扑结构基础上对肿瘤内的血液动力学进行初步计算,数值计算的结果加深了对肿瘤的复杂生理特性的理解,同时也给肿瘤内的药物输运给予一定的提示。

涡激响应尾流双振子模型的参数反演方法

尾流双振子模型是研究圆柱结构涡激振动响应的重要模型,模型参数的准确确定对悬浮隧道设计理论具有重要意义.首先通过降阶法将多变量二阶非线性常微分方程组的尾流双振子模型变换为一阶方程组.然后给出一种新型的圆柱结构水槽试验设计方案,其中试验模型的刚度能够较好反映悬浮隧道等实际工程结构的刚度,基于相机动态捕捉和视频识别计算机程序,获取圆柱结构在水平和竖直方向的位移试验数据.基于试验结果和龙格-库塔方法求解一阶方程组,采用BP神经网络智能算法对模型参数进行反演,同时利用遗传算法对神经元的初始权值和阈值进行优化,所得结果平均误差仅为5.50％,优于遗传算法和未优化的BP神经网络模型.结果表明,基于遗传算法优化的BP神经网络智能算法能够精确实现尾流双振子模型的参数确定,为圆柱结构涡激振动响应分析提供理论基础.

A NOTE ON C~1-CURVED FINITE ELEMENT

This paper shows that the C1-curved finite element developed by Bernadon in general can not satisfy the essential boundary conditions on approximate boundary. Furthermore, a modified C1-curved finite element is given, which is compatible with the element of Argyris triangle and can satisfy the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions onapproximate boundary.     

Color-stable,reduced efficiency roll-off hybrid white organic light emitting diodes with ultra high brightness

High-brightness and color-stable two-wavelength hybrid white organic light emitting diodes (HWOLEDs) with the configuration of indium tin oxide (ITO)/ N, N, N, N-tetrakis(4-methoxyphenyl)-benzidine (MeO-TPD): tetrafluoro-tetracyanoqino dimethane (F4-TCNQ)/N,N-di(naphthalene-1-yl)-N,N-diphenyl-benzidine (NPB)/ 4,4-N,N-dicarbazolebiphenyl (CBP): iridium (III) diazine complexes (MPPZ) 2 Ir(acac)/NPB/2-methyl-9,10-di(2-naphthyl)anthracene (MADN): p-bis(p-N,N-di-phenyl-aminostyryl)benzene (DSA-ph)/bis(10-hydroxybenzo[h] quino-linato)beryllium complex (Bebq2)/LiF/Al have been fabricated and characterized. The optimal brightness of the device is 69932 cd/m2 at a voltage of 13 V, and the Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) chromaticity coordinates are almost constant during a large voltage change of 6-12 V. Furthermore, a current efficiency of 15.3 cd/A at an illumination-relevant brightness of 1000 cd/m2 is obtained, which rolls off slightly to 13.0 cd/A at an ultra high brightness of 50000 cd/m2. We attribute this great performance to wisely selecting an appropriate spacer together with effectively utilizing the combinations of exciton-harvested orange-phosphorescence/blue-fluorescence in the device. Undoubtedly, this is one of the most exciting results in two-wavelength HWOLEDs up to now.     

非贵金属催化电极Ni/C@CF的制备及绿色类Fenton性能

传统芬顿(Fenton)法利用Fe²⁺催化H₂O₂产生具有强氧化性的羟基自由基(·OH),可以高效氧化降解水中有机污染物,但其操作pH范围窄(pH≈3)和易产生铁絮凝沉淀的缺点限制了其应用发展.原子氢H*作为一种单电子供体,可以将电子快速转移到H₂O₂中,生成·OH,适用于广泛的pH值,没有铁污泥产生,是一种新型高效绿色芬顿法.然而,原子H*更易相互结合形成H₂,极不稳定,因此,探索合适的电催化剂对H*绿色Fenton的应用起着至关重要的作用.本文以炭黑作为载体,通过液相还原法制备了具有催化活性高、性能稳定的Ni/C@碳毡(Ni/C@CF)非贵金属电催化材料,制备的Ni纳米粒子均匀分散在炭黑上.以此电极材料为阴极,构建绿色Fenton催化体系,能够催化H₂O和H+生成H*,进而催化H₂O₂产生·OH,高效降解去除水中抗生素污染物.通过调节制备方法、电压、溶液pH值及外加氧化剂量,确定了该体系...
