Screening of Synthetic Cathinones by Potentiometric Sensor Array and Chemometrics

This work demonstrates the analytical applicability of single ion-selective membranes (ISMs) and potentiometric sensor array to distinguish and detect cathinone derivatives. Potentiometric data from ISMs based on cation exchanger and varying content of calix[4]arene derivative were processed by principal component analysis (PCA). Such a combination of methods allowed discriminating various individual synthetic cathinones and their recognition from the mixture comprising primary amines (substituted amphetamines+aminoindane). Analytical parameters of ISM containing 1wt % of calix[4]arene derivative were sufficient to detect 1.0×10⁻⁴ mol.l⁻¹ 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(ethylamino)butan-1-one and 2-(methylamino)-1-phenylbutan-1-one (buphedrone) in both model and saliva samples.     

Nine components pharmacokinetic study of rat plasma after oral administration raw and prepared Semen Cassiae in normal and acute liver injury rats

In China, Semen Cassiae has long been used to protect liver, brighten eyes, and relieve constipation. Prepared Semen Cassiae is produced from raw Semen Cassiae by processing, the two forms of Semen Cassiae have different clinical applications. Pathological state is an important factor affecting the efficacy of drugs, the pharmacokinetic behavior of drugs could be significantly changed when people or animal were under different pathological state. To clarify the effect of processing mechanism and pathological state for pharmacokinetic behavior, the pharmacokinetics of nine components of raw and prepared Semen Cassiae under normal and acute liver injury rats were examined. The results showed that the bimodal phenomenon appeared on the plasma concentration‐time profiles of obtusin, emodin, chrysophanol, aloe emodin and rhein. The T_max of aurantio‐obtusin, obtusin, chrysoobtusin, emodin, chrysophanol, aloe emodin, physcion in normal groups administrated prepared Semen Cassiae were shorter than those administrated raw Semen Cassiae. For the AUC_0–t, aurantio‐obtusin, obtusin, chrysoobtusin, chrysophanol, aloe emodin and physcione in model groups administrated prepared Semen Cassiae were significantly higher than other groups, unlike above components, rhein had poor absorption in model groups. The study would be useful for further studies on pharmacokinetics and clinical application of raw and prepared Semen Cassiae.     

Guidelines for tuning the macropore structure of monolithic columns for high‐performance liquid chromatography

The ability to control the external porosity and to tune the dimensions of the macropore size on multiple length scales provides the possibility of tailoring the monolithic support structure towards separation performance. This paper discusses the properties of conventional polymer–monolithic stationary phases and its limitations regarding the effects of morphology on kinetic performance. Furthermore, guidelines to improve the macropore structure are discussed. The optimal monolithic macropore structure is characterized by high external porosity (while maintaining ultra‐high‐pressure stability), high structure homogeneity, polymer globule clusters in the submicron range, and macropores with a diameter tuned toward speed (small diameter in the 100–500 nm range using short beds) or efficiency (larger macropores in the range of 500 nm–1 μm allowing the use of longer column formats). Finally, promising approaches to control the morphology are discussed.     

Self‐focusing of a cosh‐Gaussian laser beam in magnetized plasma under relativistic‐ponderomotive regime

The combined effect of relativistic and ponderomotive nonlinearities on the self‐focusing of an intense cosh‐Gaussian laser beam (CGLB) in magnetized plasma have been investigated. Higher‐order paraxial‐ray approximation has been used to set up the self‐focusing equations, where higher‐order terms in the expansion of the dielectric function and the eikonal are taken into account. The effects of various lasers and plasma parameters viz. laser intensity (a₀), decentred parameter (b), and magnetic field (ω_c) on the self‐focusing of CGLB have been explored. The results are compared with the Gaussian profile of laser beams and relativistic nonlinearity. Self‐focusing can be enhanced by optimizing and selecting the appropriate laser‐plasma parameters. It is observed that the focusing of CGLB is fast in a nonparaxial region in comparison with that of a Gaussian laser beam and in a paraxial region in magnetized plasma. In addition, strong self‐focusing of CGLB is observed at higher values of a₀, b, and ω_c. Numerical results show that CGLB can produce ultrahigh laser irradiance over distances much greater than the Rayleigh length, which can be used for various applications.

为了获得成像质量较好且成像时间较少的新型傅里叶望远镜成像策略,本文比较了三种降采样成像策略(压缩感知方法 (CS)、低频全采样方法 (LF)和变密度随机采样方法 (VD))与传统傅里叶望远镜(FT)在图像质量和成像时间上的差异.分析方法如下:利用传统FT外场实验所获得的目标频谱数据作为基础,三种降采样方法 (LF, VD和CS)分别按照各自的采样模式和重构方法实现目标图像的重构;通过直观观察和Strehl比两种方法比较三种降采样方法与传统FT在图像质量上的差异;通过分析成像时间的组成要素,初步比较三种降采样方法与传统FT在成像时间上的差异.分析表明:1)压缩感知方法的图像质量优于其他两种降采样方法 (LF和VD),但略低于传统成像结果; 2)压缩感知方法在成像质量上略低于传统FT,但在成像时间上却明显小于传统FT; 3)分析中采用的外场数据均含噪声,这说明上述三种降采样重构过程对噪声有较好的鲁棒性.综合上述分析结果可以看出,基于压缩感知的傅里叶望远镜(CS-FT)是在实际含噪情况下可大幅减少成像时间的优良成像策略.     

平面波照射下无限大导体板上周期孔阵屏蔽效能的解析研究

本文针对平面电磁波对无限大导体平板上周期孔阵的透射问题,首先用Bethe小孔理论将孔阵表示成偶极子阵列,然后用平均化处理得到均匀的等效磁化/极化强度,进而引入等效面源导出透射电磁波表达式,最终给出了孔阵对平面电磁波屏蔽效能的解析公式.该公式分别针对横电和横磁两种极化方式,将屏蔽效能表示成孔阵周期面积、孔的极化系数、波长和入射角的简单函数,其计算结果与全波仿真结果一致性好.结果表明,透射场强的幅值与孔极化系数和波频率成正比,与周期面积成反比;在横电极化方式,波频率和周期面积不变的情况下,透射场强的幅值与入射角的余弦值成正比,入射角越大屏蔽效能越高;在横磁极化方式下,透射场强幅值与入射角的关系相对复杂,但在入射角较小时与入射角的余弦值近似成反比,总体上入射角越大屏蔽效果越低.     

基于光谱技术的原料肉新鲜度指标在线检测系统开发及试验

为了实现原料肉新鲜度参数的无损在线实时评估，基于双波段可见/近红外反射光谱（350~1 100和1 000~2 500 nm）技术建立了原料肉新鲜度主要指标的在线检测系统。研究设计了装置的光源单元、光谱采集单元、控制单元和驱动单元，优化设计了光源固定支架和安放角度，编写了相应的控制程序，开发了实验室用和便于在不同生产线应用的两套在线检测系统。首先，对试验参数（传送带速度和样品到透镜入光口距离）进行了优化研究，通过光谱相似度比较和显著性分析，确定传送带速度是275 mm·s-1、距离是12 cm时能够获得更加稳定的光谱信号。然后，基于该试验参数，分别在静止和在线条件下采集了贮藏时间为1~13 d共50个猪肉样本的反射光谱，并利用抛物线拟合法对双波段光谱进行融合，以获取整条覆盖可见及近红外区域的完整光谱。为了使两个波段范围内的光谱数据点权重相同，在整个波段范围内均匀分布，借助三次样条插值法将所有光谱数据点以2 nm为间隔进行重新排布。采用窗口移动多项式最小二乘拟合法对光谱作平滑处理，采用标准正态变量变换对每条光谱进行标准化预处理，分别建立了静止和在线条件下新鲜度主要表征指标-颜色（L*，a*和b*）、pH和挥发性盐基氮的预测模型，以此验证所搭建系统的可靠性。经过对比分析，发现在线条件下的建模结果不如静止状态下的建模结果，这可能与在线采集时光谱存在漂移现象有关。进一步尝试利用一阶导数处理来消除基线漂移强化谱带特征，并对一阶导数和标准化处理顺序对建模结果的影响进行了探讨。结果发现先经过一阶导数再经过标准化处理，能更好地消除外部干扰造成的影响，建模结果更佳。在该处理方式下，基于第一波段光谱建立了颜色参数（L*，a*，b*）的预测模型，基于双波段光谱建立了pH和挥发性盐基氮的在线检测模型，预测相关系数分别为0.955 3，0.924 7，0.955 1，0.961 5和0.966 8。最后，为了验证模型的适用性，基于开发的便于在不同生产线应用的在线检测系统，利用独立的20个样本对在线模型进行外部验证，对颜色参数（L*，a*，b*），pH和挥发性盐基氮的预测相关系数分别为0.918 9，0.914 1，0.947 7，0.950 4和0.960 6。研究结果表明，该系统通过双波段光谱的实时采集和融合，可以获取更多反应样本内部信息的光学信号，具有更强的检测能力。结合设计的光路等其他硬件单元，可以同时获取样本表面更大区域的反射光谱信息，从而实现对原料肉新鲜度主要表征参数的无损、在线、实时评估。该系统便于组装和拆卸，可以适应不同企业生产线的实际需要，具有较强的实用价值和较好的市场前景。
