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 …     

葡萄球菌核酸酶蛋白的时间分辨荧光与热力学特性

葡萄球菌核酸酶(SNase)是一种小型球状蛋白，其变体常用来研究蛋白质的折叠过程。不同于之前报道的研究方法和技术手段，采用时间相关单光子计数(TCSPC)及飞秒荧光上转换技术，结合紫外吸收谱和稳态荧光光谱，研究了SNase蛋白变体Δ+PHS和Δ+PHS+I92A的荧光动力学，以及不同温度下蛋白结构与热稳定性的关系，证明蛋白质内色氨酸残基可作为一种内源性探针对蛋白变体的结构折叠和热稳定性进行印证和研究。衰减相关光谱(DAS)表明了两种变体随温度变化的不同趋势，在此基础上进一步分析了这两种变体的结构折叠及热稳定性的差异。皮秒时间分辨发射光谱(TRES)显示色氨酸残基存在0.5 ns的连续光谱弛豫过程，而光谱移动量可作为SNase变体蛋白结构紧密程度的判断依据。飞秒上转换数据分析结果中，0.5 ps的DAS在光谱蓝端为正、红端为负，表明了色氨酸残基受到弛豫效应的影响。200 ps的寿命则说明色氨酸残基与周围猝灭基团之间存在电子转移过程。时间分辨荧光各向异性(anisotropy)的分析结果则说明了色氨酸残基在蛋白质体系内具有独立的局部运动，且其强弱与变体的热稳定性和热运动的整体效果有关。测量和分析色氨酸残基的时间分辨荧光性质为深入研究SNase蛋白的结构和功能提供了新的思路。     

OFDMA中继系统中基于QoS保证的资源分配算法

研究了 OFDMA 中继下行链路通信系统中的动态资源分配问题,提出了一种可以保证用户最低 QoS 需求的资源分配算法.首先在简化资源优化问题的过程中,采用等功率分配方法以降低算法复杂度,然后通过拉格朗日松弛优化方法推导出了子载波分配和中继选择最优解,并在此基础上引入用户速率权衡因子,根据速率权衡因子越大的用户,越具有选择子载波和中继的优先权这一准则进行子载波分配和中继选择.仿真结果表明:新算法能够获得较高的系统容量,同时也能很好地保证不同用户的最低速率需求.     

Synthesis and gelation behaviors of five new dimeric cholesteryl derivatives

Five new diacid amides of di-cholesteryl L-glycinates were designed and prepared.The compounds with linkers containing 0,1, 2,3,or 4 methylene units are denoted as 1,2,3,4,and 5,respectively.Their gelation behaviors in 25 solvents were tested as novel low-molecular-mass organic gelators(LMOGs).It was shown that the length of the linker connecting the two-cholesteryl residues in a gelator plays a crucial role in the gelation behavior of the compound.1 gels 11 of the 25 solvents tested at a concentration lowe...     

Influence of Solid-liquid Interaction and Temperature on the Dynamic Dewetting of a Thin Polymer Film:A Molecular Dynamics Study

Coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations were carried out to investigate the dewetting behavior of a polymer thin film on partial wetting solid surface at the early stage of the dewetting process. Spontaneous dewetting is initiated by removing a band of strip from both the ends of the liquid polymer film which has achieved equilibrium. The solid-liquid interaction and temperature were varied to show their influence on the dewetting dynamics during dewetting as well as the shape evolution of the liquid ...
