THERMODYNAMIC AND PARTICLE-DYNAMIC STUDIES ON SYNTHESIS OF SILICA NANOPARTICLES USING MICROWAVE-INDUCED PLASMA CVD

1. Introduction1.1 Silica nanoparticles and synthesis methods Silica (SiO2) nanoparticles are widely used in industry asan active filler for polymer reinforcement, a rheologicaladditive in fluids, a free flow agent in powders, and anagent for chemical mechanical polishing during IC (inte-grated circuit) fabrication (Sniegowski & de Boer, 2000).Silica powder is also used for producing silicon carbide(Koc & Cattamanchi, 1998) or opaque silica aerosols (Leeet al., 1995). Many methods can …     

Biophysical studies of the interaction between a triazole derivative and bovine serum albumin by multi-spectroscopic and molecular modeling methods

The interaction between 3-thiol-4-(2,4-dichlorobenzylideneamino)-5-methyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole (CBTZ) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) under physiological conditions was investigated by fluorescence,UV-vis absorption and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy as well as molecular modeling methods. The result of fluorescence experiment indicates the static quenching as a result of the formation of the CBTZ-BSA complex. The binding constants (Ka) at different temperatures were calculated according to the modified St...     

La0.7Sr0.3CoO3-δ钙钛矿催化剂表征及其催化氧化碳黑性能研究

为了研究La_(0.7)Sr_(0.3)CoO_(3-δ)钙钛矿催化剂对碳黑的催化氧化过程,本研究通过研究催化剂和碳黑的两种不同接触方式,即紧密接触与松散接触,讨论了其对碳黑催化氧化过程的影响。结果表明,与松散接触和无催化剂接触条件相比,紧密接触条件下碳黑的tig(起燃温度)分别下降了89.5和157.4℃,同时随着催化剂/碳黑的比例增加,碳黑氧化的tig、tm(最大转化温度)、tf(燃净温度)均向低温区域移动,表明该催化剂对碳黑有着良好的催化氧化性能。     

POSITIVE SOLUTIONS TO m-POINT BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM OF NONLINEAR FRACTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION WITH p-LAPLACIAN

In this paper,we are concerned with the existence of positive solutions to an m-point boundary value problem with p-Laplacian of nonlinear fractional differential equation.By means of Krasnosel'skii fixed-point theorem on a convex cone and Leggett-Williams fixed-point theorem,the existence results of solutions are obtained.     

A priori estimates for classical solutions of fully nonlinear elliptic equations

For the fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic equation F(D2u) = 0, it is well known that the viscosity solutions are C2,α if the nonlinear operator F is convex (or concave). In this paper, we study the classical solutions for the fully nonlinear elliptic equation where the nonlinear operator F is locally C1,β a.e. for any 0 < β < 1. We will prove that the classical solutions u are C2,α. Moreover, the C2,α norm of u depends on n,F and the continuous modulus of D2u.     

Effect of heat transfer on the oscillatory behavior in partial oxidation of methane over nickel catalyst

Monte Carlo method was applied to simulate the oscillatory behavior during partial oxidation of methane under non-isothermal condition. The simulation was performed to examine the influences of heat transfer constant and particle size on the kinetic oscillation. The oscillatory period and amplitude were observed to increase with the increase of heat transfer constant. The increase of catalyst particle size was found to result in short oscillatory period and more or less regular oscillations combined with the formation of oxide down to L=100.     

Two New Diterpene Alkaloids from the Roots of Spiraea japonica var. Acuta

Spiraea japonica L. (Rosaceae) is widely distributed in Yunnan Provence, P. R. China. Previous chemical investigations on S. japonica and its varieties have led to the report of 7 new atisane-type diterpenoids and 38 new diterpene alkaloids of atisine- and hetisine-type1-11. This paper describes the isolation and structure elucidation of two new diterpene alkaloids named spiratines A and B (1-2). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR experiments (HMQC, HMBC, 1…     

Total Synthesis of (±)-Nocardione A and (±)-Nocardione B, Two Cdc25B Tyrosine Phosphatase Inhibitors

Quinones are biologically important compounds, especially because of their cytotoxic and pharmacological action. The antitumor activities of the quinones, including naphthoquinones1, were revealed more than two decades ago when the National Cancer Institute published a report in which 1500 synthetic and nature quinones were screened. Some natural naphthoquinones were under development for antitumor agents2. The protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPase) and dual phosphatases (DSPase) are key…     

A Novel Method for Fabrication of a Glass-Electrode-Based Lipase Sensor

Lipase is one of the hydrolases. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of triglycerides, liberating fat acids. Based on its catalysis and the response of a glass electrode to the acids, a glass-electrode-based lipase sensor can be fabricated1, which has great potential in clinical medicine for the detection of blood fat in human serum samples.The immobilization of lipase on the bulb of a glass electrode is the key to the development of the sensor. In addition to its response time, which has a lot to do …     

Mono-Allylation of Gem-Diacetates with Allylsamarium Bromide

Our group have explored the reaction of allylsamarium bromide with a variety of substrates, such as N-(2-aminoalkyl)benzotriazoles1, imines2, nitriles3, diorgano diselenides4, disulfides5, isocyanates6 and nitroalkenes7. Here we wish to report the monoallylation of gem-diacetates with allylsamarium bromide. Gem-diacetates are stable in neutral and basic media, thus they are frequently used to protect aldehydes8. However, the presence of two leaving groups at the same carbon may make carbon …
