Capacitance-voltage measurements of high quality PECVD and MBE grown aluminum nitride (AlN) thin films have been performed. The prepared films have shown polycrystalline (0 0 2)-preferential orientation, and were deposited on p-type Si (1 0 0) substrates with Pt forming the metal gate in a metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) configuration. The structure, crystallinity, texture and insulating properties have been found to depend on film thickness and were substantially influenced by the increase of the thickness. C-V measurements of the epitaxial and PECVD films were carried out and their insulating characteristics with increasing thickness (200-1000 nm) were investigated. The epitaxial films exhibited no hysteresis in capacitance behaviour, owing to better crystalline quality over the PECVD grown ones. Capacitance curves versus bias voltage have also been acquired at different temperatures; 10 K, 30 K and 50 K for deposited polycrystalline AlN films of (0 0 2) orientation. We have found that the defects trapped in the Pt/AlN/Si structure played a key role in dominating the overall behaviour of the C-V measurement curves. The trapped charges at the interface between the AlN insulating film and Si substrate caused the capacitance characteristics to shift to negative voltages, and the estimated charge density was of the order of 1010 and 108 cm−2 eV−1 for the PECVD and epitaxial samples respectively. The I-V measurements referred to space-charge conduction mechanism, and the deduced leakage current was found to be of the order of 10−9 A at 200 nm film thickness. 相似文献

Snow crab is a major fishery in the North Atlantic region. During crab processing the proteins are aerosolized and some are
responsible for development of occupational asthma. Tropomyosin and arginine kinase have recently been reported as major snow
crab allergens. A liquid chromatographic tandem mass spectrometric method has been developed for simultaneous analysis of
these two proteins in air samples collected from processing plants. These proteins were initially isolated then characterized
by use of mass spectrometry to determine their primary structure and signature peptides. The signature peptides were chemically
synthesized in light and heavy forms and used as standards for developing the multiple-reaction monitoring transitions to
monitor allergen levels. A validation study was performed; precision and accuracy were 1.8–8% and 91–104%, respectively. Replicate
air samples were collected on air filters from two crab-processing plants in Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) and four located
in Quebec. In NL, measured levels of both tropomyosin and arginine kinase were between 1 and 20 ng m−3. In Quebec plants, however, levels were found to be much higher at 2–2400 ng m−3. Significant differences were also observed among the plants and individual processing workstations. For the first time arginine
kinase has been detected in its aerosolized form in processing plants. In general, levels of the allergens were highest in
the butchering and cooking areas; plant design can, however, have a significant effect on levels of the allergens. 相似文献

In this paper, we examine the properties of the state obtained when two nearly identical coherent states are superimposed. We found that this state exhibits many nonclassical properties such as sub-Poissonian statistics, squeezing and a partially negative Wigner function. These and other properties indicate that such states, here termed near coherent states, are significantly closer to coherent states more than the generalized Schrördinger cat states. We finally provide an experimental procedure for generating the near coherent states. 相似文献

Combinatory flooding techniques evolved over the years to mitigate various limitations associated with unitary flooding techniques and to enhance their performance as well. This study investigates the potential of a combination of 1-hexadecyl-3-methyl imidazolium bromide (C16mimBr) and monoethanolamine (ETA) as an alkali–surfactant (AS) formulation for enhanced oil recovery. The study is conducted comparative to a conventional combination of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium metaborate (NaBO2). The study confirmed that C16mimBr and CTAB have similar aggregation behaviors and surface activities. The ETA–C16mimBr system proved to be compatible with brine containing an appreciable concentration of divalent cations. Studies on interfacial properties showed that the ETA–C16mimBr system exhibited an improved IFT reduction capability better than the NaBO2–CTAB system, attaining an ultra-low IFT of 7.6 × 10−3 mN/m. The IFT reduction performance of the ETA–C16mimBr system was improved in the presence of salt, attaining an ultra-low IFT of 2.3 × 10−3 mN/m. The system also maintained an ultra-low IFT even in high salinity conditions of 15 wt% NaCl concentration. Synergism was evident for the ETA–C16mimBr system also in altering the carbonate rock surface, while the wetting power of CTAB was not improved by the addition of NaBO2. Both the ETA–C16mimBr and NaBO2–CTAB systems proved to form stable emulsions even at elevated temperatures. This study, therefore, reveals that a combination of surface-active ionic liquid and organic alkali has excellent potential in enhancing the oil recovery in carbonate reservoirs at high salinity, high-temperature conditions in carbonate formations. 相似文献

Parthenium hysterophorus L. is a poisonous Asteraceae weed. The phytochemical profile, antioxidant activity, total phenolic contents (TPC), total flavonoid contents (TFC), and cytotoxicity of Parthenium hysterophorus L. flower extract were evaluated in this study, and the toxic effects were assessed in rabbits. The HPLC-DAD system was used for phytochemical analysis. The hemolytic and DPPH assays were performed. The effects of orally administering the flower crude extract to rabbits (n = 5) at four different doses (10, 20, 40, and 80 mg/kg) for ten days on hematological and biochemical parameters were investigated. The crude extract of the flower contained phenolic compounds such as Gallic acid, Chlorogenic acid, Ellagic acid, and P Coumaric acid, which were detected at different retention times, according to the HPLC results. With a sample peak of 4667.475 %, chlorogenic acid was abundant. At concentrations of 80 µg, the methanolic extract of flowers had total phenolic contents (89.364 ± 4.715 g GAE/g) and total flavonoid contents (65.022 ± 2.694 g QE/g). In the DPPH free radical scavenging assay, 80 µg of extract had the highest cell inhibition of 76.90% with an IC50 value of 54.278 µg/µL, while in the hemolytic assay 200 µg of extract had the highest cell inhibition of 76.90% with an IC50 > 500. The biochemical and hematological parameters were altered in the flower extract-fed groups as compared to the control (p < 0.05). The toxic effects on the blood, liver, and kidneys were confirmed. The findings also confirmed the presence of phenolic and flavonoid content in the flower extract, both of which contribute to the plant’s antioxidant potential. 相似文献

In this study we evaluated the fragmentation pattern of 16 novel amphiphilic neoglycolipid cholesteryl derivatives that can be efficiently used to increase cationic liposomal stability and to enhance gene transfer ability. These neoglycolipids bear different sugar moieties, such as D-glucosamine, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, N-trideuterioacetyl-D-glucosamine, N-acetyllactosamine, L-fucose, N-allyloxycarbonyl-D-glucosamine, and some of their per-O-acetylated derivatives. Regardless of the structure of the tested neoglycolipid, QqToF-MS analysis using electrospray ionization (ESI) source showed abundant protonated [M+H]+ species. We also identified by both QqToF-MS and low-energy collision tandem mass spectrometry (CID-MS/MS) of the [M+H]+ ion, the presence of specific common fingerprint fragment ions: [Cholestene]+, sugar [oxonium]+, [(Sugar-spacer-OH)+H]+, [oxonium-H2O]+, and [(Cholesterol-spacer-OH)+H]+. In addition, we observed a unique ion that could not be rationally explained by the expected fragmentation of these amphiphilic molecules. The structure of this ion was tentatively proposed with that of a C-glycoside species formed by a chemical reaction between the sugar portion and the cholesterol. MS/MS analysis of this unique [C-glycoside]+ confirmed the validity of the proposed structure of this ion. The presence of an amino group at position C-2 and free hydroxyl groups of the sugar motif is crucial for the formation of a "reactive" sugar oxonium ion that can form the [C-glycoside]+ species. In summary, we precisely established the fragmentation patterns of the tested series of neoglycolipid cholesteryl derivatives and authenticated their structure as well; moreover, we speculated on the formation of a C-glycoside with the ESI source under atmospheric pressure and in the collision cell during MS/MS analysis. 相似文献

Electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight (ESI-QqToF) mass spectra of naltrindole hydrochloride 1, naltriben mesylate 2, and naltrexone hydrochloride 3, a common series of morphine opiate receptor antagonists, were recorded using different declustering potentials. Low-energy collision-induced dissociation (CID) MS/MS experiments established the fragmentation routes of these compounds. In addition, re-confirmation of the various established fragmentation routes was effected by conducting a series of ESI-CID-QqTof-MS/MS experiments using non-conventional quasi MS(n) (up to MS8) product ion scans, which were initiated by CID in the atmospheric pressure/vacuum interface using a higher declustering potential. Precursor ion scan analyses were also performed with a conventional quadrupole-hexapole-quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer and allowed the confirmation of the genesis of some diagnostic ions. 相似文献

Composite waste composed of carbon fibres and polybenzoxazines resin has been pyrolysed in a fixed bed reactor at temperatures of 350, 400, 450, 500 and 700 °C. Solid residues of between 70 and 83.6 wt%, liquid yields 14 and 24.6 wt% and gas yields 0.7 and 3.8 wt% were obtained depending on pyrolysis temperature. The derived pyrolysis liquids contained aniline in high concentration together with oxygenated and nitrogenated aromatic compounds. The pyrolysis gases consisted mainly of CO2, CO, CH4, H2 and other hydrocarbons. The carbon fibres used in the composite waste were separated from the char of the solid residue via oxidation of the char at two different temperatures and investigated for their mechanical strength properties. The carbon fibres recovered from the sample pyrolysed at 500 °C and oxidised at 500 °C exhibited mechanical properties which were 90% of that of the original virgin carbon fibres. Steam activation of the recovered carbon fibres was carried out at 850 °C at different times of activation. The effect of activation time on BET surface area, activated carbon fibres yield, porosity and the morphological structure of activated carbon fibres was evaluated. A maximum BET surface area of over 800 m2 g−1 was obtained for the activated carbon fibres produced at 850 °C for 5 h of activation. Nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms showed that the adsorption capacity increased as the activation time increased up to 5 h of activation and then after that decreased. 相似文献

Crustaceans are the third most prevalent cause of food‐induced anaphylaxis after peanuts and tree nuts. The severity of the allergenic proteins depends mainly on the amino acid sequence that induces production of IgE antibodies. In black tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon), the crude protein extract was profiled and its allergenic potency was examined against patient's sera. Proteins having strong immunoreactivity with patient's IgE were characterized using peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF). Tropomyosin (TM) (33 kDa), myosin light chain (20 kDa), and arginine kinase (40 kDa) were identified as allergenic proteins. Tropomyosin, the most abundant and potent allergen, was purified using ion‐exchange chromatography for de novo sequencing experiments. Using bottom up tandem mass spectrometry, the full amino acid sequence was achieved by a combination of matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) and electrospray ionization (ESI) tandem mass spectrometry (QqToF). Myosin light chain and arginine kinase were also characterized, and their related peptides were de novo sequenced using the same approach. The immunological reactivity of the crude prawn extracts and purified TM samples were analyzed using a large number of patients' sera. A signature peptide was assigned for the TM protein for future quantification work of black tiger prawn TM levels in different matrices (i.e. water, air, food) in the seafood industry.

Hydrolytic enzymes involved in chitin degradation are important to allow moulting during insect development. Chitinases are
interesting targets to disturb growth and develop alternative strategies to control insect pests. In this work, a chitinase
from the aphid Myzus persicae was purified with a 36-fold purification rate in a three step procedure by ammonium sulphate fractionation, anion-exchange
chromatography on a DEAE column and on an affinity Concanavalin A column. The purified chitinase purity assessed by 1D and
2D SDS–PAGE revealed a single band and three spots at 31 kDa, respectively. Chitinases were found to have high homologies
with Concanavalins A and B, two chitinase-related proteins, a fungal endochitinase and an aphid acetylhydrolase by peptide
identification by Maldi-Tof-Tof. The efficiency of two potent chitinase inhibitors, namely allosamidin and psammaplin A, was
tested and showed significant rate of enzymatic inhibition. 相似文献
