ESR study of the ferrimagnetic spinel selenide CuCr2Se4

Ferrimagnetic spinel selenide CuCr₂Se₄ has been investigated by the electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. Experimental results reveal that ESR signals originate from the localized d-shell electrons of Cr³⁺ ions. In addition, the ESR linewidth ΔH _PP increases linearly with decreasing temperature. It is suggested that the spin-orbit coupling may be one of the contributions to the broadening of ΔH _PP . Our ESR results support the model of the ferrimagnetic hybridization between localized 3d ³ electrons of Cr³⁺ with delocalized holes of Se 4p band.     

Purification and Characterization of Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase MEG1 and Preparation of Anti-PTPMEG1 Antibody

<正>PTPMEG1 is an intracellular protein tyrosine phosphatase(PTP),which contains FERM and PDZ domains. This study focuses our attention on the expression,purification and characterization of catalytic domain of PTPMEG1(△MEG1) and preparation of its polyclonal antibody.A cDNA fragment encoding△MEG1 protein(amino acid residues 643—926) was amplified by PCR and then cloned into the pT7-7 vector.Both soluble and insoluble recombinant△MEG1 proteins were observed after induction by IPTG.Soluble△MEG1 was purified via two chromatographic steps,and the purified enzyme was characterized.With para-nitrophenylphosphate(pNPP) as a substrate,△MEG1 exhibited typical enzymatic characteristics of classic PTPs and classical Michaelis-Menten kinetics.Insoluble△MEG1,which was mainly distributed in the inclusion body of E.coli cells extracts,was purified by preparative electrophoresis gel for the preparation of the polyclonal antibody.A rabbit was immunized with△MEG1 purified by preparative electrophoresis to generate anti-△MEG1 antibody.Anti-serum was collected on 28th day after initial injection and purified via affinity chromatography.The purified polyconal antibody displayed a satisfactory titer and sensitivity.     

Tuning the Surface Hydrophobicity of Keplerate {Mo<Subscript>72</Subscript>Fe<Subscript>30</Subscript>} Porous Molecular Capsules by Surface Ligand-Replacement Process

A spontaneous ligand-replacement process at the external surface of Keplerate polyoxometalate molecular nanocapsules {Mo₇₂Fe₃₀} occurs when dissolving {Mo₇₂Fe₃₀} in pure methanol, with the water ligands coordinated to the Fe(III) centers of {Mo₇₂Fe₃₀} gradually being replaced by CH₃OH ligands, resulting in the formation of partially hydrophobic nanocapsules. The new nanocapsules have negligible deprotonation capability and different solution behaviors. The methanol ligands can be easily exchanged back to water ligands when a small amount of water is added into the system. The exchange of water ligands dramatically changed the self-assembly behaviors of the {Mo₇₂Fe₃₀} clusters in solution.     

Kinetic Resolution of Racemic Allylic Alcohols by Catalytic Asymmetric Substitution of the OH Group with Monosubstituted Hydrazines

A new strategy has been established for the kinetic resolution of racemic allylic alcohols through a palladium/sulfonyl‐hydrazide‐catalyzed asymmetric OH‐substitution under mild conditions. In the presence of 1 mol % [Pd(allyl)Cl]₂, 4 mol % (S)‐SegPhos, and 10 mol % 2,5‐dichlorobenzenesulfonyl hydrazide, a range of racemic allylic alcohols were smoothly resolved with selectivity factors of more than 400 through an asymmetric allylic alkylation of monosubstituted hydrazines under air at room temperature. Importantly, this kinetic resolution process provided various allylic alcohols and allylic hydrazine derivatives with high enantiopurity.

Hash function based on the generalized Henon map

A new Hash function based on the generalized Henon map is proposed. We have obtained a binary sequence with excellent pseudo-random characteristics through improving the sequence generated by the generalized Henon map, and use it to construct Hash function. First we divide the message into groups, and then carry out the Xor operation between the ASCII value of each group and the binary sequence, the result can be used as the initial values of the next loop. Repeat the procedure until all the groups have been processed, and the final binary sequence is the Hash value. In the scheme, the initial values of the generalized Henon map are used as the secret key and the messages are mapped to Hash values with a designated length. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme has strong diffusion and confusion capability, good collision resistance, large key space, extreme sensitivity to message and secret key, and it is easy to be realized and extended.     

Widely tunable dual-pump parametric amplifiers with photonic crystal fibres

This paper theoretically studies the double-pumped fibre-optical parametric amplifiers （FOPAs） in photonic crystal fibres. Two distinct working regimes of FOPAs are researched, which depend on the dispersion at the central wavelength of the two pumps. Extremely broad tuning range can be obtained when the central pump wavelength is in the normal dispersion regime and is insensitive to the wavelength separation between the two pumps, while the tuning range is narrow in the anomalous dispersion regime and can be significantly enhanced by increasing the wavelength separation. Impacts of higher-order dispersions and temporal walk-off on the gain spectra are also discussed.     

基于Mie散射的卷云光学特性

基于中纬度卷云冰晶双峰、热带卷云冰晶三峰分布模型，利用Mie散射理论计算了1～13脚范围内中纬度及热带卷云的消光系数、散射系数、吸收系数。计算结果表明，由不同形状冰晶构成的热带卷云的相应光学参数比中纬度卷云的光学参数大些，但11支子弹玫瑰形状的相应参数要小一些；两种卷云在2．8～3．1μm，9．8～13μm范围内都存在两个基本相同的透射通带；在计算中纬度卷云的光学参数时，可以只考虑中空六棱柱与实心六棱柱中的一种，但计算热带卷云的光学参数时，实心六棱柱与空心六棱柱需要同时考虑。
