Macroporous Co3O4 platelets with excellent rate capability as anodes for lithium ion batteries

This paper reports the microwave-assisted synthesis of Co₃O₄ nanomaterials with different morphologies including nanoparticles, rod-like nanoclusters and macroporous platelets. The new macroporous platelet-like Co₃O₄ morphology was found to be the best suitable for reversible lithium storage properties. It displayed superior cycling performances than nanoparticles and rod-like nanoclusters. More interestingly, excellent high rate capabilities (811 mAh g^?1 at 1780 mA g^?1 and 746 mAh g^?1 at 4450 mA g^?1) were observed for macroporous Co₃O₄ platelet. The good electrochemical performance could be attributed to the unique macroporous platelet structure of Co₃O₄ materials.

Variable-weighted least-squares support vector machine for multivariate spectral analysis

Multivariate spectral analysis has been widely applied in chemistry and other fields. Spectral data consisting of measurements at hundreds and even thousands of analytical channels can now be obtained in a few seconds. It is widely accepted that before a multivariate regression model is built, a well-performed variable selection can be helpful to improve the predictive ability of the model. In this paper, the concept of traditional wavelength variable selection has been extended and the idea of variable weighting is incorporated into least-squares support vector machine (LS-SVM). A recently proposed global optimization method, particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is used to search for the weights of variables and the hyper-parameters involved in LS-SVM optimizing the training of a calibration set and the prediction of an independent validation set. All the computation process of this method is automatic. Two real data sets are investigated and the results are compared those of PLS, uninformative variable elimination-PLS (UVE-PLS) and LS-SVM models to demonstrate the advantages of the proposed method.

Mapping of phosphorylation sites in human MSK1 activated by a novel interaction with MRK‐β

The desire to map reliable phosphorylation signaling network has motivated the development of high‐performance techniques. Targeted biochemical studies and updated methods employing MS techniques are most used in mapping the phosphorylation sites and verifying novel interactions of kinases. Previously, we have established a novel method to efficiently facilitate more comprehensive, accurate phosphorylation site mapping of individual phosphoproteins by using combination of multiple stage MS analysis with target‐decoy database search against the much smaller targeted database. In this study, by applying this method, we have identified the phosphorylation sites in human MSK1 mitogen‐ and stress‐activated protein kinase 1), which has been proved to be a multi‐phosphorylated kinase that plays key roles in various cell functions, activated by a novel interaction with MRK‐β. The results show that this method can find out not only those previously identified active sites in MSK1, but also some novel phosphorylated sites, which correlates with biochemical evidence that, besides p38 and extracellular signal‐regulated kinase, MRK‐β could also activate MSK1 through direct interaction. Hence, we conclude this method is sensitive and reliable as expected and it can be further combined with automated screening and biochemical study in efficiently building up a more comprehensive phosphoprotein network.     

An effective sequence characterized amplified region‐PCR method derived from restriction site‐amplified polymorphism for the identification of female Schistosoma japonicum of zoonotic significance

In the present study, restriction site‐amplified polymorphism (RSAP) markers were used to examine the genetic variability of Schistosoma japonicum isolates from different endemic provinces in mainland China. Of the 45 pairs of primers screened, 10 RSAP markers showed a clear banding pattern with good resolution; however, only six exhibited a polymorphism among different isolates. Among six RSAP markers, one pair of primers (R8+R10) was able to differentiate male and female parasites, and amplified one constant specific band for female S. japonicum isolates. The specific band was recovered, re‐amplified and sequenced, and a sequence of 162 bp was obtained. Based on this sequence, a pair of specific primers was designed and used to develop sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR)‐PCR assay for identification and differentiation of female S. japonicum isolates. The SCAR‐PCR assay allowed the specific identification of female S. japonicum, with no amplicons being amplified from male S. japonicum, Fasciola hepatica, Clonorchis sinensis, S. mansoni (male and female parasite). DNA sequencing confirmed the identity of the amplified products. The minimum amount of DNA detectable using SCAR‐PCR assay was 0.3 ng for female S. japonicum. The SCAR‐PCR was able to differentiate effectively the male and female S. japonicum worms collected from 12 geographical origins in eight endemic provinces, the gender of which was known based on the morphological and biological features. These results showed that SCAR‐PCR provides an effective tool for the sex differentiation studies of S. japonicum, identification of female S. japonicum, diagnosis and epidemiological survey of S. japonicum infections in animals and human.
