The toxicity of Cu~(2+) to Microcystis aeruginosa using dielectric spectroscopy

Dielectric spectroscopy(DS) was utilized to investigate the toxicity of the Cu2+ solution to Microcystis aeruginosa.It was found that 0.04 mM Cu2+ had no effect on dielectric increment,whereas the Cu2+ concentrations above 0.1 mM decreased the value of Δε/Δε intact.The toxic effect of Cu2+ on M.aeruginosa cells was time-dependent and concentration-dependent.There was a threshold concentration between 0.04 mM and 0.1 mM,which affected the cell membrane,suggesting that Cu2+ at the concentrations higher than 0...     

Study on the temperature dependence of BGO light yield

The temperature dependence of BGO coupled with photomultiplier tube R5610A-01 was studied in the range of-30–30℃. The temperature coefficient of the BGO and R5610 A as a whole was tested to be-1.82%/℃. And the temperature coefficient of the gain of the R5610 A is-0.44%/℃ which was tested in the same situation using a blue LED. Thus the temperature coefficient of BGO's light yield can be evaluated as-1.38%/℃.     

CuO/CeO2-Al2O3催化剂中CuO物种的原位XRD、Raman和TPR表征

采用原位XRD、激光Raman光谱和TPR(程序升温还原)技术研究了CuO(w,%)/CeO₂-Al₂O₃催化剂中CuO物种的存在形式及其CuO物种的迁移. 低温焙烧(300 ℃)催化剂, CuO以高分散和晶相两种形式存在于CeO₂-Al₂O₃载体表层. 随着焙烧温度的升高, CuO开始从表层向CeO₂内层迁移. 处于内层的CuO部分以晶相形式存在, 部分与Al₂O₃载体反应生成CuAl₂O₄. 高温有利于表层CuO向CeO₂内层迁移, 同时促进CuAl₂O₄生成. 结果表明结合原位XRD、激光Raman光谱和TPR技术可以有效地观察催化剂中CuO物种的存在形式和分布.     

Constructing virtual combinatorial fragment libraries based upon MDL Drug Data Report database

Structural analysis of known drugs or drug-like compounds provides important information for drug design. The 142553 drug molecules in the MDL Drug Data Report database were analyzed, and then the common structural features were extracted. According to the common structural features, drug molecules were segmented into 32017 fragments, including 13642 ring fragments, 10076 linker fragments, and 8299 side chain fragments. These fragments were further used to establish three types of virtual combinatorial fragment libraries: a basic framework library containing 13574 rings; a linker library of 8051 linkers and a pharmacophore library of 34244 fragments combined by rings and side chains. After energy minimization, all fragments in the above three libraries maintain reasonable geometrical features and spatial conformations, and would be useful for building a virtual combinatorial database and de novo drug design.     

An unusual binodal (6,8)-connected 3D supramolecular network with twofold self-penetration

A dicarboxylate ligand,5-carboxyl-1-carboxymethyl-2-oxidopyridinium (H2L),was utilized to form four complexes with the general formula [M(HL)2(H2O)]·2H2O,M = CuII (1),ZnII (2),MnII (3),CdII (4).The crystals were isomorphous,belonging to the monoclinic C2/c space group.They were constructed from 1D chains and further linked by hydrogen bonds into a novel binodal (6,8)-connected 3D supramolecular network with twofold self-penetration.Photoluminescence studies revealed that complexes 2-4 displayed intense structure-related fluorescent emission bands.     

The toxicity of Cu2+ to Microcystis aeruginosa using dielectric spectroscopy

Dielectric spectroscopy (DS) was utilized to investigate the toxicity of the Cu²⁺ solution to Microcystis aeruginosa. It was found that 0.04 mM Cu²⁺ had no effect on dielectric increment, whereas the Cu²⁺ concentrations above 0.1 mM decreased the value of Δ?/Δ? _intact. The toxic effect of Cu²⁺ on M. aeruginosa cells was time-dependent and concentration-dependent. There was a threshold concentration between 0.04 mM and 0.1 mM, which affected the cell membrane, suggesting that Cu²⁺ at the concentrations higher than 0.1 mM caused serious plasmalemma damage to M. aeruginosa cells. The addition of 1 mM Ca²⁺ or Mg²⁺ did not protect M. aeruginosa cells from 1 mM Cu²⁺ toxicity. The study demonstrates that DS monitors cell biomass facilitating observation of the toxic effects of metal ions.

The atomic and electronic structures of amorphous CuxZr100-x(x=36,46,50,56,64) alloys were simulated using first-principle calculations within a 400-atom supercell.The pair correlation function,coordination numbers,local cluster structures and electronic density of states were analyzed.Reasonable agreements between the theory and the experiments were obtained.The amorphous alloys exhibit different local cluster structures and can all be explained with cluster formulas [cluster](glue)1,3,where the clusters a...     

Status of the IHEP 1.3 GHz superconducting RF program

The 1.3 GHz superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) technology is one of the key technologies for the ILC and future XFEL and ERL projects in China. With the aim to develop 1.3 GHz SRF technology, IHEP has started a program to build an SRF Accelerating Unit. This unit contains a 9-cell 1.3 GHz superconducting cavity, a short cryomodule, a high power input coupler, a tuner and a low level RF system. This program also includes the SRF laboratory upgrade, which will permit the unit to be built and tested at IHEP. The unit will be used for the 1.3 GHz SRF system integration study, high power horizontal test and possible beam test in the future. In this paper, we report the recent R&D status of this program. The first large grain low-loss shape 9-cell superconducting RF cavity made by IHEP reached 20 MV/m in the first vertical test in July, 2010. The prototype tuner and low level RF (LLRF) system are under test. The high power input coupler and cryomodule are under fabrication. Several key SRF facilities for 9-cell cavity surface treatment and pre-tuning were successfully commissioned and are in operation.
