Primordial perturbation in Hořava–Lifshitz cosmology

Recently, Ho?ava has proposed a renormalizable theory of gravity with critical exponent z=3$z=3$ in the UV. This proposal might imply that the scale invariant primordial perturbation can be generated in any expansion of early universe with a∼tn$a\sim t^n$ and n>1/3$n>1/3$, which, in this Letter, will be confirmed by solving the motion equation of perturbation mode on super sound horizon scale for any background evolution of early universe. It is found that if enough efolding number of primordial perturbation suitable for observable universe is required, then n?1$n?1$ needs to be satisfied, unless the scale of UV regime is quite low. However, the possible UV completeness of HL gravity helps to relax this bound.

2-[1-(4-甲酰氨基苯基乙酰氧)烷基]-1,4-二羟基-9,10-蒽醌类衍生物的 合成及其抗肿瘤作用研究

为寻找抗肿瘤作用强、毒性低并且对癌细胞具有靶向性的新蒽醌类化合物, 合成了未见报道的12个2-[1-(4-甲酰氨苯基乙酰氧)烷基]-1,4-二羟基-9,10-蒽醌类衍生物, 分别用L1210癌细胞进行细胞毒性实验及小鼠S180腹水癌做了体内抗肿瘤实验. 实验结果表明, 蒽醌侧链中引入对甲酰氨基苯乙酰基后细胞毒性增强. 随着侧链碳链数的增加细胞毒性随之逐渐减小, 当烷基侧链中的碳数超过7以上时, 细胞毒性消失. 当侧链R基为苯环时与脂肪烃链或环己基相比细胞毒性更大, 说明芳香环对癌细胞具有更强的抑制作用. S180小鼠抗肿瘤实验结果表明, 蒽醌侧链中引入对甲酰氨基苯甲酰基后活性无显著性变化.     

Optimization on fabrication and performance of A-site-deficient La0.58Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3-δ cathode for SOFC

A-site-deficient perovskite cathode material La_0.58Sr_0.4Co_0.2Fe_0.8O_3 − δ (L58SCF) is coated on the yttria-stabilized zirconia electrolyte by screen-printing technique. Several key fabrication parameters including selection of additives (binder and pore former), effect of coating thickness, sintering temperature and time on the microstructure, and electrochemical performance of cathode are investigated by scanning electron microscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. We study the microstructure and the electrochemical property of the cathode with different kinds of additives. Results show that the cathode possesses fine microstructure, enough porosity, and ideal electrochemical property when polyvinyl butyral serves as both binder and pore former in the cathode. The cathode with three screen-printing coats (thickness 28 ± 7 μm, weight 6.07 ± 0.72 mg cm⁻²) sintering at 1,000 °C for 2 h shows lower polarization resistance of 0.183 Ω cm² at 800 °C. Based on the optimized parameters, the polarization resistances of the L58SCF–Ce_0.8Gd_0.2O_{1.9 – δ} composite cathode display the R _p values of 0.067 Ω cm² at 800 °C, 0.106 Ω cm² at 750 °C, 0.225 Ω cm² at 700 °C, and 0.550 Ω cm² at 650 °C.     

Simultaneous Alignment and Micropatterning of Organic Crystallites under a Modulated Magnetic Field

In a previous paper, we reported the micropatterning of magnetically isotropic particles using a microscopically modulated magnetic field. In this paper, we report that the alignment occurs simultaneously if the particles have magnetic anisotropy. An oil-in-water emulsion of p-terphenyl or anthracene was subjected to the modulated magnetic field and allowed to evaporate the solvent to obtain a line pattern consisting of the crystallites with alignment. The patterned samples exhibited an emission strongly polarized in the direction of the applied magnetic field that is perpendicular to the patterning lines.

基于固定校正板和透镜阵列的机载共形窗口像差校正

为了校正大扫描视场机载共形窗口引入的像差,提出一种基于固定校正板和透镜阵列的静态校正方法。首先使用固定校正板校正静态像差;然后在像面前安置固定的透镜阵列,利用透镜阵列中的各个透镜单元分别校正不同扫描角度的动态像差;最后基于所提方法设计应用在机载共形光学系统中的像差校正器。设计结果表明,所提方法在±42°的扫描视场范围内能够良好地校正共形窗口引入的像差。与其他动态或静态校正方法相比,所提方法可以实现大扫描视场机载共形光学系统像差的校正,同时降低机载共形光学系统的质量,提高系统的稳定性。     

Synthesis and evaluation of ursolic acid-based 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines derivatives as anti-inflammatory agents

Here, two series of novel ursolic acid-based 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines derivatives were synthesized and screened for their anti-inflammatory activity by evaluating their inhibition effect of using LPS-induced inflammatory response in RAW 264.7 macrophages in vitro; the effects of different concentrations of the compounds on the secretion of nitric oxide (NO) and inflammatory cytokines including TNF-α and IL-6 were evaluated. Their toxicity was also assessed in vitro. Results showed that the most prominent compound 3 could significantly decrease production of the above inflammatory factors. Docking study was performed for the representative compounds 3, UA, and Celecoxib to explain their interaction with cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) receptor active site. In vitro enzyme study implied that compound 3 exerted its anti-inflammatory activity through COX-2 inhibition.

     

Dysidavarones A-D, new sesquiterpene quinones from the marine sponge Dysidea avara

Dysidavarones A-D (1-4), four new sesquiterpene quinones possessing the unprecedented "dysidavarane" carbon skeleton, were isolated from the South China Sea sponge Dysidea avara. The structures were established by spectroscopic methods, and the absolute configurations were determined using quantum mechanical calculation of the electronic circular dichroic (ECD) spectrum and exciton chirality CD method. Their cytotoxic activity against four human cancer cell lines and PTP1B inhibitory activity were also evaluated.     

Discrete assembly of synthetic peptide-DNA triplex structures from polyvalent melamine-thymine bifacial recognition

We have designed a 21-residue α-peptide that simultaneously recognizes two decadeoxyoligothymidine (dT(10)) tracts to form triplexes with a peptide-DNA strand ratio of 1:2. The synthetic peptide side chain displays 10 melamine rings, which provide a bifacial thymine-recognition interface along the length of the 21-residue peptide. Recognition is selective for thymine over other nucleobases and drives the formation of ternary peptide·[dT(10)](2) complexes as well as heterodimeric peptide·[dT(10)C(10)T(10)] hairpin structures with triplex stems.
