Global stability for a discrete epidemic model for disease with immunity and latency spreading in a heterogeneous host population

In this paper, we propose a discrete epidemic model for disease with immunity and latency spreading in a heterogeneous host population, which is derived from the continuous case by using the well-known backward Euler method and by applying a Lyapunov function technique, which is a discrete version of that in the paper by Prüss et al. [J. Prüss, L. Pujo-Menjouet, G.F. Webb, R. Zacher, Analysis of a model for the dynamics of prions, Discrete Contin. Dyn. Syst. Ser. B 6 (2006) 225-235]. It is shown that the global dynamics of this discrete epidemic model with latency are fully determined by a single threshold parameter.

多足化合物的分子内激基缔合物形成及pH对其荧光的影响

研究了含萘脲基多足化合物溶液的稳态和瞬态光物理行为.由于分子内不同足间脲基的相互作用干扰了萘基的π-π叠合,使分子内萘基的激基缔合物生成受到影响.实验表明:由于三足化合物存在着给电子叔胺基团,因此当萘基被激发时、可因分子内的光诱导电子转移而导致荧光猝灭.正因如此,在三足化合物归一化后的稳态光谱中激基缔合物的发光强度很弱.用皮秒级单光子记数技术测得该化合物的瞬态荧光为三指数衰变过程.其中最长寿命的物种,即属于生成激基缔合物后再分解为萘激发态的部分仅占总量的4%,与稳态的结果相一致.工作表明对这类可用作荧光化学敏感器的三足化合物,如利用其激基缔合物的强度变化为其识别外来物种的敏感部位并不适合.相反,如引入的外来物种能影响化合物的分子内光诱导电子转移,进而影响萘基的发光强度,则是一较好的判别外来物种是否已进入主体的标志.

Enzymatic Oxidative Polymerization of Phenol in an Aqueous Solution in the Presence of a Catalytic Amount of Cyclodextrin

The peroxidase‐catalyzed polymerization of phenol in aqueous solution has been examined in the presence of 2,6‐di‐O‐methyl‐α‐cyclodextrin (DM‐α‐CD). By the addition of DM‐α‐CD, the phenol was polymerized in a buffer to produce the soluble polyphenol. Only a catalytic amount of DM‐α‐CD induced the polymerization effectively. A small amount of DM‐α‐CD was contained in the polymer.     

Sensing Behavior of Fluorescent Cyclodextrin/Peptide Hybrids Bearing a Macrocyclic Metal Complex

Two kinds of cyclodextrin/peptide (CD/peptide) hybrids bearing Zn^II‐cyclen or cyclen, dansyl and β‐cyclodextrin (β‐CD) units have been synthesized as chemosensors for organic anionic molecules. Zn^II‐cyclen serves as a ligand site and β‐CD is a receptor site for guest molecules, while the dansyl unit acts as a fluorescent probe. Examination of the fluorescence behaviors of these CD/peptides suggest that the hybrid containing Zn²⁺ has larger binding constants with respect to anionic molecules than that without Zn²⁺.

     

Biomolecular and Supramolecular Kinetics in the Submicrosecond Time Range: the Fluorazophore Approach

Fluorophores based on the azo chromophore 2,3-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-2-ene, referred to as fluorazophores, display an exceedingly long fluorescence lifetime and undergo quenching upon contact with efficient hydrogen or electron donors. These photophysical and photochemical properties allow several uncommon applications to biomolecular and supramolecular kinetic studies in the submicrosecond time range. Examples for kinetics of host–guest complexation, end-to-end contact formation in polypeptides, and lateral diffusion in membrane models are described. Principal requirements for these types of kinetic measurements and the dependence of the kinetics of diffusion-controlled reactions on the dimensionality of the system are discussed.

Gradient polymers and copolymers

Gradient polymers are two component polymeric systems in which the concentration of one component varies in a continuous way from one side to the other in systems with plane-parallel geometry. Such systems can be obtained from an amorphous polymeric matrix by diffusing into another monomer creating a gradient of concentration, which is fixed by, for example, photo-polymerization. Properties of such systems with plane-parallel geometry are discussed. Paricular attention is given to the systems with cylindrical geometry in which the gradient of the second polymer varies from the center to outside. This class of gradient polymers has a great practical application as gradient optical polymeric fibers and multifocal lenses. An interesting and new class of gradient polymers are systems systems consisting of semicrystalline polymeric matrices in which a gradient of structure is created by appropriate thermal treatment and an amorphous polymer gradient is formed by diffusion of a monomer and its subsequent polymerization. The structural, thermal and mechanical properties are discussed mainly for a model system consisting of polyethylene and polystyrene. The polymeric gradient systems, consisting of an oriented semicrystalline polymer and amorphous gradient polymer, are discussed showing that the structurally gradient matrices and amorphous polymer offer a great variety of factors which can influence the properties of multicomponent gradient polymers. Recently obtained gradient copolymers in which the chemical composition varies from one end to the other a macromolecule are presented. It is shown how such macromolecules can be obtained with different type of changes of the composition. The unusual properties of gradient copolymers are discussed considering their mechanical and thermal properties as well their specific behaviour as compatibilizers. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Highly Efficient Candlelight Organic Light-Emitting Diode with a Very Low Color Temperature

Low color temperature candlelight organic light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are human and environmentally friendly because of the absence of blue emission that might suppress at night the secretion of melatonin and damage retina upon long exposure. Herein, we demonstrated a lighting device incorporating a phenoxazine-based host material, 3,3-bis(phenoxazin-10-ylmethyl)oxetane (BPMO), with the use of orange-red and yellow phosphorescent dyes to mimic candlelight. The resultant BPMO-based simple structured candlelight organic LED device permitted a maximum exposure limit of 57,700 s, much longer than did a candle (2750 s) or an incandescent bulb (1100 s) at 100 lx. The resulting device showed a color temperature of 1690 K, which is significantly much lower than that of oil lamps (1800 K), candles (1900 K), or incandescent bulbs (2500 K). The device showed a melatonin suppression sensitivity of 1.33%, upon exposure for 1.5 h at night, which is 66% and 88% less than the candle and incandescent bulb, respectively. Its maximum power efficacy is 23.1 lm/W, current efficacy 22.4 cd/A, and external quantum efficiency 10.2%, all much higher than the CBP-based devices. These results encourage a scalable synthesis of novel host materials to design and manufacture high-efficiency candlelight organic LEDs.
