The interactions of the several linear DNA fragments and cisplatin at different concentrations and incubation time have been studied by atomic force microscopy. When equal volume of 2 mM cisplatin and 5 ng/μl 1134 bp DNA fragment were incubated for 30 min, 1 h, 2 h and 3 h, the observed DNA were gradually changed from the extended chains to the bending structures, the worm-like structures and flat particles. The formation of these structures can be attributed to the coordination and electrostatic interactions by binding of cisplatin on DNA. When longer DNA fragments such as pBR322/pstI DNA (4361 bp) and λ DNA (48502 bp) were used for interacting with cisplatin in the same condition, the observed DNA molecules tended to form many loop structures. The differences of the interactions between long and short DNA can be ascribed to the strong intramolecular interactions within the long DNA fragment. When the relative low concentration of cisplatin (100 μmol/l) was used in the experiments, the observed DNA tended to bend along its chains. Furthermore, the measured contour length and the calculated persistent length of cisplatin–DNA were gradually decreased with the incubated time. All of these AFM results revealed that the cisplatin–DNA interactions in vitro can be influenced by the concentration and the initial state of cisplatin, the length of DNA fragment and the reaction time.  相似文献

Ammonium perfluorooctanoate (APFO) is an emerging environmental pollutant attracting significant attention due to its global distribution, high persistence, and bioaccumulation properties. The decomposition of APFO in aqueous solution with a combination of persulfate oxidant and ultrasonic irradiation was investigated. The effects of operating parameters, such as ultrasonic power, persulfate concentration, APFO concentration, and initial media pH on APFO degradation were discussed. In the absence of persulfate, 35.5% of initial APFO in 46.4 μmol/L solution under ultrasound irradiation, was decomposed rapidly after 120 min with the defluorination ratio reaching 6.73%. In contrast, when 10 mmol/L persulfate was used, 51.2% of initial APFO (46.4 μmol/L) was decomposed and the defluorination ratio reached 11.15% within 120 min reaction time. Enhancement of the decomposition of APFO can be explained by acceleration of substrate decarboxylation, induced by sulfate radical anions formed from the persulfate during ultrasonic irradiation. The SO4−•/APFO reactions at the bubble-water interface appear to be the primary pathway for the sonochemical degradation of the perfluorinated surfactants.  相似文献

A new ultrasonic micro-molding system was used to process polylactide (PLA) and fabricate reduced dimension specimens. Plasticization and molding of PLA were achieved by applying ultrasonic waves after feeding the polymer into a plasticizing chamber. Chemical and physical characteristics of processed PLA varied depending on the processing window (i.e. changes in ultrasonic wave amplitude between 14.2 and 48.1 μm and molding pressure between 0.5 in 6 bars). In terms of chemical effects, the application of ultrasound can lead to lower molecular weights (e.g. decreases of more than 45% in the weight average molecular weight), revealing partial degradation of the material. Also, the processed materials exhibited slightly higher thermal degradability than pure PLA because ultrasonic vibrations break molecular linkages and worsen the polymer structure. Finally, the processing conditions for the preparation of PLA specimens could be optimized without causing degradation and preserving structural characteristics and mechanical properties. Specifically, the use of an amplitude of 48.1 μm and a pressure of 3 bars gave samples with the same molecular weight as the raw material (i.e. 117,500 g/mol as opposed to 117,300 g/mol for Mw).  相似文献

The sonochemical degradation of ethyl paraben (EP), a representative of the parabens family, was investigated. Experiments were conducted at constant ultrasound frequency of 20 kHz and liquid bulk temperature of 30 °C in the following range of experimental conditions: EP concentration 250–1250 μg/L, ultrasound (US) density 20–60 W/L, reaction time up to 120 min, initial pH 3–8 and sodium persulfate 0–100 mg/L, either in ultrapure water or secondary treated wastewater.A factorial design methodology was adopted to elucidate the statistically important effects and their interactions and a full empirical model comprising seventeen terms was originally developed. Omitting several terms of lower significance, a reduced model that can reliably simulate the process was finally proposed; this includes EP concentration, reaction time, power density and initial pH, as well as the interactions (EP concentration) × (US density), (EP concentration) × (pHo) and (EP concentration) × (time).Experiments at an increased EP concentration of 3.5 mg/L were also performed to identify degradation by-products. LC–TOF–MS analysis revealed that EP sonochemical degradation occurs through dealkylation of the ethyl chain to form methyl paraben, while successive hydroxylation of the aromatic ring yields 4-hydroxybenzoic, 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic and 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acids. By-products are less toxic to bacterium V. fischeri than the parent compound.  相似文献

Bacterial cellulose (BC) film formation could be a critical issue in nanotechnology applications such as biomedical or smart materials products. In this research, purified pretreated BC was subjected to high intensity ultrasound (HIUS) and was investigated for the development of BC films. The morphological, structural and thermal properties of the obtained films were studied by using FE-SEM, AFM, FT-IR, XRD, TGA and DSC characterizations. Results showed that the most favorable purification treatment was the 0.01 M NaOH at 70 °C for 2 h under continuous stirring. The most suitable ultrasound operating conditions were found to be, 1 cm distance of ultrasonic probe from the bottom of the beaker, submerged in cold water bath cooling around 12 ± 2 °C. The power (25 W/cm2), time (30 min), BC concentration (0.1% w/w), amplitude (20 μm) and frequency (20 kHz) were maintained constant.  相似文献

The change in characteristic magnetic fields of a spin-valve multilayer is investigated as a function of the size by computer simulation. The spin-valve modeled in this work is IrMn (9 nm)/CoFe (4 nm)/Cu (2.6 nm)/CoFe (2 nm)/NiFe (6 nm). The spin-valve dimensions are varied widely from 20 mm×10 mm to 0.5 μm×0.25 μm, but the aspect ratio defined by the ratio of the length to the width is fixed at 2.0. The magnetostatic interactions begin to affect the magnetic properties substantially at a spin-valve length of 5 μm, and, at a length of 1 μm, they become even more dominant. The main consequences of the magnetostatic interactions are a significant increase of the coercivity and a very large shift of the bias field in both the pinned and free layers. It is shown that these changes can be explained by two separate contributions to the total magnetostatic interactions: the coercivity change by the self-demagnetizing field and the change of the bias field by the interlayer magnetostatic interaction field.  相似文献

Herein, we report a type II InAs/GaSb superlattice structure (SLS) grown on GaSb(1 0 0) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and its electrical characterization for mid-wavelength infrared detection. A GaSb buffer layer was grown under optimized SLS growth conditions, which can decrease the occurrence of defects for similar pyramidal structures. The complications associated with these conditions include oxide desorption of the substrate, growth temperature of the SLS, the V/III ratio during superlattice growth and the shutter sequence. High-resolution X-ray diffraction (HRXRD) shows the sixth satellite peak, and the period of the SLS was 52.9 Å. The atomic force microscopy (AFM) images indicated that the roughness was less than 2.8 nm. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) images indicated that the SLS contains few structural defects related to interface dislocations or strain relaxation during the growth of the superlattice layer. The photoresponse spectra indicated that the cutoff wavelength was 4.8 μm at 300 K. The SLS photodiode surface was passivated by a zinc sulfide (ZnS) coating after anodic sulfide.  相似文献

Silicon microlenses are a very important tool for coupling terahertz (THz) radiation into antennas and detectors in integrated circuits. They can be used in a large array structures at this frequency range reducing considerably the crosstalk between the pixels. Drops of photoresist have been deposited and their shape transferred into the silicon by means of a Reactive Ion Etching (RIE) process. Large silicon lenses with a few mm diameter (between 1.5 and 4.5 mm) and hundreds of μm height (between 50 and 350 μm) have been fabricated. The surface of such lenses has been characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), resulting in a surface roughness of about ∼3 μm, good enough for any THz application. The beam profile at the focal plane of such lenses has been measured at a wavelength of 10.6 μm using a tomographic knife-edge technique and a CO2 laser.  相似文献

High resolution 3D MRI was used to study contrast agent distribution and leakage in normal mouse mammary glands and glands containing in situ cancer after intra-ductal injection. Five female FVB/N mice (~ 19 weeks old) with no detectable mammary cancer and eight C3(1) SV40 Tag virgin female mice (~ 15 weeks old) with extensive in situ cancer were studied. A 34G, 45° tip Hamilton needle with a 25μL Hamilton syringe was inserted into the tip of the nipple and approximately 15 μL of a Gadodiamide was injected slowly over 1 min into the nipple and throughout the duct on one side of the inguinal gland. Following injection, the mouse was placed in a 9.4 T MRI scanner, and a series of high resolution 3D T1-weighted images was acquired with a temporal resolution of 9.1 min to follow contrast agent leakage from the ducts. The first image was acquired at about 12 min after injection. Ductal enhancement regions detected in images acquired between 12 and 21 min after contrast agent injection was five times smaller in SV40 mouse mammary ducts (p < 0.001) than in non-cancerous FVB/N mouse mammary ducts, perhaps due to rapid washout of contrast agent from the SV40 ducts. The contrast agent washout rate measured between 12 min and 90 min after injection was ~ 20% faster (p < 0.004) in SV40 mammary ducts than in FVB/N mammary ducts. These results may be due to higher permeability of the SV40 ducts, likely due to the presence of in situ cancers. Therefore, increased permeability of ducts may indicate early stage breast cancers.  相似文献

Trans–cis–trans isomerization processes of an acid-terminated azopolymer have been investigated in mono and multilayered Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) films and the results compared with the behaviour of this azopolymer in solution. UV–vis spectroscopy was used to determine the apparent extent of photoisomerization at the photostationary state, as well as the order and rate constant of the cis  trans thermal isomerization, whilst structural changes of the LB films during photoisomerization have been monitored by AFM microscopy. From these studies it was concluded that the trans  cis photoisomerization extent largely depends on the free volume around the azobenzene chromophores, with the smaller apparent extent of photoisomerization obtained for a well-organized 10-layer LB film. Data also revealed a first-order kinetics for the thermal cis  trans isomerization process of the azopolymer both in solution and in LB films. The cis  trans isomerization process depends on the balance between the stress produced by the larger cross-section of cis-isomers inside the system and the interactions between cis-isomers and neighbouring molecules. The slowest cis  trans isomerization process takes place in a 35-layer LB film, whilst LB films with well-packed azobenzene layers show faster cis  trans isomerization processes.  相似文献

In this study, we report the fabrication of ZnO metal-semiconductor-metal UV photodetector (MSM UV PD) by deposition ZnO thin film on poly propylene carbonate (PPC) plastic substrate using direct current (DC) sputtering technique, and Nickel (Ni) contact as electrodes. The structural, optical and electrical properties of the ZnO thin film were investigated by using atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-Ray diffraction (XRD) measurement, and photoluminescence (PL). The electrical characteristics of the detector were investigated using the current–voltage (IV) measurements, the dark- and photo-currents were found to be 1.04 and 93.80 μA, respectively. Using forward dark conditions at 5 volt; the barrier height ΦB was calculated to be 0.675 eV. Under incident wavelength of 385 nm, it was found that the maximum responsivity (R) of the Ni/ZnO/Ni MSM PD was found to be 1.59 A/W.  相似文献

The objective of this study was to evaluate changes in color, betalain content, browning index, viscosity, physical stability, microbiological growth, antioxidant content and antioxidant activity of purple cactus pear juice during storage after thermoultrasonication at 80% amplitude level for 15 and 25 min in comparison with pasteurized juice. Thermoultrasound treatment for 25 min increased color stability and viscosity compared to treatment for 15 min (6.83 and 6.72 MPa, respectively), but this last parameter was significantly lower (p < 0.05) compared to the control and pasteurized juices (22.47 and 26.32 MPa, respectively). Experimental treatment reduced significantly (p < 0.05) sediment solids in juices. Total plate counts decreased from the first day of storage exhibiting values of 1.38 and 1.43 log CFU/mL, for 15 and 25 min treatment, respectively. Compared to the control, both treatments reduced enterobacteria counts (1.54 log CFU/mL), and compared to pasteurized juice decreased pectinmethylesterase activity (3.76 and 3.82 UPE/mL), maintained high values of ascorbic acid (252.05 and 257.18 mg AA/L) and antioxidant activity (by ABTS: 124.8 and 115.6 mg VCEAC/100 mL; and DPPH: 3114.2 and 2757.1 μmol TE/L). During storage thermoultrasonicated juices had a minimum increase in pectinmethylesterase activity (from day 14), and exhibited similar total plate counts to pasteurized juice. An increase of phenolic content was observed after 14 days of storage, particularly for treatment at 80%, 25 min, and an increase in antioxidant activity (ABTS, DPPH) by the end of storage.  相似文献

We propose ultra-compact wavelength division demultiplexer based on photonic band gap in two dimensional photonic crystals. The structure consists of two different types of lattice, which can separate two communication wavelengths, 1310 and 1490 nm. In addition, it also can be used to separate the wavelengths of 1310 and 1550 nm if we change the structural parameters. The total size of the present structure is only 12.5 μm × 12.5 μm. The transmission efficiency is above 97%, and the good performance is verified with plane wave expansion and finite-difference time-domain simulation.  相似文献

In this study, the oscillation conditions for series photodetector frequency circuit system were proposed and verified experimentally. The effect of the capacitance Cp and oscillator phase θ on the oscillation ability of series photodetector frequency circuit system was investigated. It revealed that series photodetector frequency circuit system possessed excellent oscillation ability, but the oscillation ability decreased with increasing oscillator phase or decreasing capacitance Cp, even resulted in a cease-to oscillate zone. Moreover, this study elucidated the frequency response and optical detection of series photodetector frequency circuit system matched with PMMA for fluorescence dye concentration. In accordance with Hex fluorescence dye concentrations and frequency responses, the detection limit of fluorescence dye concentration 3.3 pmol/L can be measured by 100 MHz sensor system matched with PMMA. The results also showed that the frequency shift of 100 MHz sensor system matched with PMMA was linearly related to the logarithm of fluorescence dye concentration from 3.3 pmol/L to 33.3 μmol/L.  相似文献

Water and ammonia adsorption mechanisms on anatase TiO2 (001) slab surface are investigated by means of periodic DFT approach. Molecular and dissociative adsorption energies for water are calculated to be ? 15 kcal/mol and ? 32 kcal/mol, respectively. Similarly, molecular and dissociative adsorption energies of ammonia on the same surface are found as ? 25 kcal/mol and ? 20 kcal/mol. A reverse result in this order is reached for the previous case of ONIOM cluster study (? 23 kcal/mol and ? 37 kcal/mol, respectively). The vibration frequency values are computed for the optimized geometries of adsorbed water and ammonia molecules on anatase TiO2 (001) slab surface and compared with the values reported in the literature.  相似文献

The present paper introduces a facile and cost-effective route for the direct dispersion of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in DNA solution. Their application in detecting Escherichia coli O157:H7 using DNA biosensor was demonstrated. The dispersion state of the MWCNTs was characterized via UV–Vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and field emission scanning electron microscopy. The interaction between DNA sequence and the MWCNTs was investigated using Raman spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. As-obtained MWCNT solution was used in the preparation of DNA sensor. Results revealed that the developed DNA sensor can detect a DNA target as low as 1 nM in a buffer solution. The sensitivity of the DNA sensor reached approximately 0.19 nM/mV. The effect of dispersion parameters, including pH values, DNA concentration, ion strength, and sonication time, on sensor response was also studied. The DNA sensor can respond well to 120 min of sonication time, a pH value of 9, and 20 μM of DNA sequence concentration. The results of the present study showed a potential application of the DNA sensor in the detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7.  相似文献

The Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) helps in evaluating parameters like amplitude or height parameters, functional or statistical parameters and spatial parameters which describe the surface topography or the roughness. In this paper, we have evaluated the roughness parameters for the native poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA), monomer diaminonaphthalene (DAN) doped PVA, and poly (diaminonaphthalene) (PDAN) doped PVA films prepared in different solvents. In addition, distribution of heights, skewness and Kurtosis moments which describe surface asymmetry and flatness properties of a film were also determined. At the same time line profiles, 3D and 2D images of the surface structures at different scanning areas i.e. 5 × 5 μm2 and 10 × 10 μm2 were also investigated. From the roughness analysis and the surface skewness and coefficient of Kurtosis parameters, it was concluded that for PVA film the surface contains more peaks than valleys and the PDAN doped PVA film has more valleys than peaks. It was also found that the PDAN doped PVA film with acetonitrile solvent was used for substrate in electronics applications because the film gives less fractal morphology. Thus, the AFM analysis with different parameters suggested that the PDAN doped PVA films are smooth at the sub-nanometer scale.  相似文献

To inhibit the radiant infrared energy between 8 and 14 μm, which is the infrared atmospheric window, and decrease the echo power of detecting laser and radar, to achieve compatible stealth, a doping structural one-dimensional photonic crystal (1-D PC) with Ge, ZnSe and Si was fabricated; and then combine it with radar absorbing material (RAM) to make a compound. After that, the reflection spectra of this compound was tested, and the result shows a high average reflectance (89.5%) in 8–14 μm waveband, and a reflective valley (39.8%) in the wavelength of 10.6 μm, which is the wavelength of CO2 laser; and the reflectance in radar band shows that at high frequency, especially between 7.8 and 18 GHz, the radar power is strongly absorbed by this material and the reflected energy attenuate over 10 dB within the range from 11.1 GHz to 18.3 GHz, even 24.5 dB to the most in the frequency of 14.6 GHz.  相似文献

Boron nitride (BN) nanometer thin films are synthesized on Si (1 0 0) substrates by RF reactive magnetron sputtering. Then the film surfaces are treated in the case of the base pressure below 5 × 10−4 Pa and the temperature of 800 and 1000 °C, respectively. And the films are studied by Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR), atomic force microscopic (AFM) and field emission characteristics at different annealing temperature. The results show that the surface heat treatment makes no apparent influence on the surface morphology of the BN films. The transformations of the sample emission characteristics have to do with the surface negative electron affinity (NEA) of the films possibly. The threshold electric fields are lower for BN samples without heat-treating than the treated films, which possibly ascribed to the surface negative electron affinity effect. A threshold field of 8 V/μm and the emission current of 80 μA are obtained. The surface NEA is still presence at the heat treatment temperature of 800 °C and disappeared at temperature of 1000 °C.  相似文献
