NO Decomposition on Rh Supported CNTs

It is well known that NO is one of the most predominant pollutants. It is the main source of acid rain and has strong carcinogenicity. Therefore, removal of NO is one of the key environmental subjects in the world nowadays. With the discovery of carbon nanotubes and their large-scale synthesis1-2, attention is now being focused on their potential application in various fields of materials research. In the field of heterogeneous catalysis, numerous carbon materials have been used to disperse …     

Design and Synthesis of Lipids Bearing Nucleosides as Gene Vectors

Delivery of exogenous DNA into cells of various origins plays an important role not only in basic research, but also in clinical application in gene therapy. Great efforts have been made towards the development of viral and nonviral vectors for these purposes1~6. However, at the present stage, none of the vectors can claim to be the panacea. Although most viral vectors can transfer gene efficiently and some of them can be used for gene transfer into tissue cells in vivo, they suffer from immu…     

Formation of Benzyl Oxazole, A Competitive Path with the Classical Bishler-Napieralski Reaction

1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acids (TIC) are of considerable interest due to their biological activity and as an important structural element in several important alkaloids and other medically useful products1. Moreover, TIC is a phenylalanine analogue in which the dihedral angle is limited to a very small range because of its bicyclic nature2. In connection with the design of topographically constrained peptides, TIC has been utilized in several instance as a replacement o…     

Hydrothermal Synthesis and Structure of[{Mo_8V_4O_(36)(VO_4)(VO)_2}n]~(7n-)Bi-capped α-Keggin Fragments Linked to a Chain

The title compound, (H2en)3H3O{Mo8V4O36(VO4) (VO)2} ?4H2O, was hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by means of IR, ESR spectrum and single crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallized in a monoclinic system with space group P21/c, a=1. 980 4(4) nm, 6=2. 063 4(4) nm, c=l. 192 0(2) nm, =94. 76(3)?and deep black colour. The compound contains V-centered bi-capped a-Keggin fragments {Mo8V7O42} that are linked together by edge-shared units V O5 via V桹梀 bonds, forming a chain.     

On Vector Helmholtz Equation with a Coupling Boundary Condition

The Helmholtz equation is sometimes supplemented by conditions that include the specification of the boundary value of the divergence of the unknown.In this paper, we study the vector Helmholtz problem in domains of both C~(1,1)and Lipschitz.We es- tablish a rigorous variational analysis such as equivalence,existence and uniqueness. And we propose finite element approximations based on the uncoupled solutions.Fi- nally we present a convergence analysis and error estimates.     

A New Diterpene Glycoside from Isodon forrestii

The genus Isodon has been shown to be a rich source of diterpenes, especially the highly oxidized ent-kaurene diterpenoids with various biological activities1-3. The chemical constituents of Isodon forrestii was reported by Yun Long Xu et al.4. We have investigated the titled plant collected in another place, from the 70% acetone extract of the aerial parts of I. forrestii, seven compounds including a new diterpene glycoside 1 were isolated by a combination of silica gel, preparative TLC an…     

Peduncin, A New Indole Alkaloid from Pueraria peduncualris

Pueraria peduncularis (Grah. ex Benth.) Benth. is a plant of Leguminosae which grows in the southwest of China. Different from other plants of Pueraria, it could not be used as a medicine due to its toxicity1. In order to use the Pueraria plants safer, we studied the constituents of P. peduncularis. Previous phytochemical studies of an n-BuOH extract afforded three triterpenoid saponins2-3. The continuing investigation on CHCl3 extract led to the isolation of a new indole alkaloid. …     

Synthesis and DNA Cleavage Studies of 2,6-Dimethoxyhydroquinone-3-Mercaptoacetic Acid Conjugates

In previous paper and work, we reported the synthesis and cytotoxicity studies of a novel series of short chain peptide conjugates of the cytotoxic agent 2, 6-dimethoxyhydro -quinone-3-mercaptoacetic acid1 (DMQ-MA). The DMQ-MA is a derivative of 2,6-dimethoxybenzoquinone, which is a natural product of fermented wheat germ and found to have a wide spectrum of cytotoxicity against various tumor cell lines under the synergistic activation of L-ascorbic acid (AH2)2,3. Compared with DMQ, DMQ…     

稀土掺杂LaF3超小发光纳米晶的合成及癌细胞靶向上转换发光成像研究

基于图像的三维刚体运动估计算法比较

基于图像特征点对应估计三维刚体运动是计算机视觉的一个基本问题。对四种常用的运动估计算法,包括基于三维特征点的奇异值分解法、正交分解法、单位四元数法和基于二维特征点的"8点算法",通过大量仿真实验和一个机载目标运动光测系统进行了精度,稳定性和效率的比较。结论表明,基于三维特征的算法比基于二维特征的算法精度高、稳定性好,效率高。其中在基于三维特征的算法中,奇异值分解法效率更高,单位四元数法稳定性更好,在基于二维特征的算法中采用非线性优化是必须的,而增加特征点数和降低噪声水平对四种算法都能提高精度。讨论了这些结论对解决实际问题的作用。
