Visual spatial memory is enhanced in female rats (but inhibited in males) by dietary soy phytoestrogens

Background  

In learning and memory tasks, requiring visual spatial memory (VSM), males exhibit superior performance to females (a difference attributed to the hormonal influence of estrogen). This study examined the influence of phytoestrogens (estrogen-like plant compounds) on VSM, utilizing radial arm-maze methods to examine varying aspects of memory. Additionally, brain phytoestrogen, calbindin (CALB), and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) levels were determined.     

基于有机化学专业课程培养本科生成就动机的形成——以“对映异构”教学设计为例

Taking the enantiotopic chapter of organic chemistry as an example, this paper explores the teaching reform to form the ability and habit of lifelong learning by improving students' dominant position in learning and to guide undergraduates to cultivate the right achievement motivation. It also tries to provide useful references for the teaching of specialized courses in colleges and universities.

Interfacial structure of oxidized inner pores in precursor-derived Si–C–N ceramics

Inner pore channels were commonly found in precursor-derived Si–C–N ceramics. After annealing in air at 1420 °C, their oxidation structures were investigated by analytical TEM. A carbon-rich ring was frequently observed under the silica layer inside the pore channels, which consisted of graphite-like clusters in size of 20–30 nm. Origin of such interfacial structure is due to the excessive free-carbon in the amorphous Si–C–N matrix that had survived the oxidation process. This graphitic interface could further improve the oxidation resistance of the SiO₂ over-layer. This novel interfacial structure was also found by annealing in N₂, reaffirming the effect of composition of Si–C–N matrix.

Influence of substituents in the salicylaldehyde‐derived Schiff bases on vanadium‐catalyzed asymmetric oxidation of sulfides

A series of chiral Schiff bases ( L ¹ – L ⁵ ) with different substituents in the salicylidenyl unit were prepared from condensation of 3‐aryl‐5‐ tert ‐butylsalicylaldehyde derivatives and optically active amino alcohols. Bromination of 3‐phenyl‐5‐ tert ‐butylsalicylaldehyde gave an unexpected product 3‐(4‐bromophenyl)‐5‐bromosalicylaldehyde, from which the corresponding Schiff base ligands L ⁶ and L ⁷ , derived from (S)‐valinol and (S)‐ tert ‐leucinol, respectively, were prepared. Ligands L ¹ – L ⁷ were applied to the vanadium‐catalyzed asymmetric oxidation of aryl methyl sulfides. Under the optimal conditions, the oxidation of the thioanisole with H₂O₂ as oxidant in CH₂Cl₂ catalyzed by VO(acac)₂‐ L ¹ – L ⁷ gives good yields (74–83%) with moderate enantioselectivity (58–77% ee). Ligand L ⁷ , containing a 4‐bromophenyl group on the 3‐position and a Br atom on the 5‐position of the salicylidenyl moiety, displays an 80–90% ee for vanadium‐catalyzed oxidation of methyl 4‐bromophenyl sulfide and methyl 2‐naphthyl sulfide.

三类有向三元系之间关系的一种猜想

一个Mendelsohn (Directed, 或Hybrid)三元系 MTS$(v, \lambda)$~(DTS$(v, \lambda)$,或HTS$(v,\lambda))$, 是由$v$元集$X$ 上的一些循环（可迁，或循环和可迁）三元组(简称区组)构成的集合${\cal B}$, 使得$X$上每个由不同元素组成的有序对都恰在 ${\cal B}$的$\lambda$个区组中出现.本文主要讨论了这三类有向三元系之间的一种关联关系，给出猜想：任意MTS$(v,\lambda)$的区组关联图$G(\
