Development of a quality control method for the characterization of oligonucleotides by capillary zone electrophoresis-electrospray ionization-quadrupole time of flight-mass spectrometry

A capillary zone electrophoresis-negative electrospray ionization-quadrupole time of flight-mass spectrometric method was developed for the characterization of oligonucleotides after synthesis, using model compounds. The major difficulty is the adduction of metal cations to the polyanionic backbone of the oligonucleotide sample, resulting in complex spectra and decreased sensitivity. Several approaches were investigated to circumvent this problem. Separation was performed in an ammonium carbonate buffer. During separation, the interfering metal ions were exchanged for ammonium ions, which are less tightly bound to the oligonucleotide when ionized. The influence of the addition of piperidine and imidazole or trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (CDTA) to the running buffer for further reduction of cation adduction was investigated. Addition of CDTA to the buffer system resulted in a deconvoluted spectrum with very little adducts. On-line sample stacking proved vital to preconcentrate the samples. The pH and the concentration of the ammonium carbonate buffer as well as the electrophoresis voltage were optimized to achieve the best signal response for the oligonucleotides and a maximum reduction of the cation adducts as well as a short analysis time. Finally, the sheath liquid composition was examined for further improvement of the signal. The developed method was used to analyze different oligonucleotides (5000-9200 Da) in light of its use as a final quality control method for oligonucleotides in terms of purity and sequence homogeneity of the synthesized products. In all cases, very little adducts were observed in the deconvoluted spectra, and the relative errors of the measured molecular masses ranged from 3 to 35 ppm.     

Speckle characteristics of simulated deep Fresnel region under shadowing effect

After the three-dimensional self-affine fractal random surface simulation, we use the optical scattering theory to calculate the deep Fresnel region speckle(DFRS) under consideration of the more strict shadowing effect. The evolution of DFRS with the scattering distance and the intensity probability distribution are studied. It is found that the morphology of the scatterer has an antisymmetric relationship with the intensity distribution of DFRS, and the effect of micro-lenses on the scattering surface causes the intensity probability distribution of DFRS to deviate from the Gaussian speckle in the high light intensity area.     

含氧空位的氟掺杂二氧化锰助力稳定锌离子电池

将无机盐NH₄F加入到MnO₂的前驱体溶液中,通过高效、简单的一步水热法制备了具有氧缺陷的F掺杂α-MnO₂纳米棒(记为F-MnO₂)。氧空位和F掺杂对提高F-MnO₂的导电性、促进离子扩散、提高倍率性能起着至关重要的作用。另外,由于F掺杂,形成了F—Mn键,这可以有效地抑制放电产物中Mn³⁺的Jahn-Teller畸变,从而提高结构的稳定性。得益于这些协同效应,组装的Zn||F-MnO₂全电池在0.5 A·g^-1下,首圈放电比容量高达274 mAh·g^-1,且具有较长的循环寿命和优异的倍率性能。同时,通过循环伏安(CV)和恒流充放电(GCD)曲线证明了F-MnO₂的储能机制为H⁺和Zn²⁺的共嵌入/脱出过程。

Synthesis and luminescence of a novel conjugated europium complex with 6-parachloroaniline carbonyl 2-pyridine carboxylic acid

A novel organic ligand, 6-parachloroaniline carbonyl 2-pyridine carboxylic acid, and the corresponding europium complex, tris(6-parachloroaniline carbonyl-2-pyridine carboxylate) europium (III) have been designed and synthesized. The results showed that the synthesized product was a conjugated complex, emitting remarkable strong red luminescence, and was a good red luminescence material with good thermal stability. The ⁵D₀ lifetime of Eu³⁺ in the complex was examined using time-resolved spectroscopic analysis. The lifetime values for 1.0×10⁻⁵ mol/l ethanol solution of the complex and for the complex solid were 0.49±0.01 and 1.94±0.01 ms, respectively.     

Breather molecules and localized interaction solutions in the (2+1)-dimensional BLMP equation

The (2+1)-dimensional Boiti–Leon–Manna–Pempinelli (BLMP) equation is an important integrable model. In this paper, we obtain the breather molecule, the breather-soliton molecule and some localized interaction solutions to the BLMP equation. In particular, by employing a compound method consisting of the velocity resonance, partial module resonance and degeneration of the breather techniques, we derive some interesting hybrid solutions mixed by a breather-soliton molecule/breather molecule and a lump, as well as a bell-shaped soliton and lump. Due to the lack of the long wave limit, it is the first time using the compound degeneration method to construct the hybrid solutions involving a lump. The dynamical behaviors and mathematical features of the solutions are analyzed theoretically and graphically. The method introduced can be effectively used to study the wave solutions of other nonlinear partial differential equations.     

毫米波回旋速调管放大器的自洽非线性数值模拟

为了实现回旋速调管放大器的快速设计,基于经典的回旋管的稳态单模非线性理论方法,开展了回旋速调管放大器的束波作用效率的理论模拟研究。由于单模理论无法匹配回旋速调管放大器的输入腔、中间腔两端的突变边界条件,所以输入腔与中间腔都只能采用给定场法进行求解。回旋速调管的输出腔的功率输出端通常采用缓变结构,这种腔体可以采用单模自洽理论进行求解。对两腔毫米波回旋速调管放大器进行了理论模拟,并与商业粒子模拟软件的结果进行对比,验证了该数值理论模拟方法的有效性。
