Content and Isotope Ratios of Noble Gases in Congelation Ice of Lake Vostok

Isotope ratios of noble gases (He, Ne, Ar) were studied in samples collected by degassing of cores of water frozen over a glacier of Lake Vostok. The gases were collected into glass retorts during three days of degassing of cores, which have just been extracted from the borehole. Within the error, the isotope ³He/⁴He ratios of 0.28 ± 0.08 R_A (R_A = 1.38 × 10^–6 is the ratio for air) correspond to those from [1]. The ⁴He/²⁰Ne and ⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar ratios (12.4 ± 4.6 R_A and 1.0074 ± 0.0023 R_A, respectively) exceed their contents in air (⁴He/²⁰Ne_A = 0.29; ⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar_A = 298.6) and may indicate some contribution of terrigenous gas to the gaseous balance of the lake, as well as the high content of ancient ground waters in the lake. The ³He/⁴He ratio of 0.28 R_A means low mantle ³He flux typical of continental platforms far from active rift zones.

关于动态位错场张量势的规范变换

本文引入并论证了描述动态位错场的张量势(A与B)的规范交换问题,而且证明这种变换可采取这样的形式:B′=B+▽F, A′=A-ρ?/(?t)▽G,x′=x-ρ?/(?t)F,其中x_i=e_iklA_kl。至于F与G,则为带有很大任意性的时空坐标的矢量函数,但它们要满足以下关系式:F=▽×G,▽²F-1/G_t²-(?²/?t²)F=0.进 关键词：

Total synthesis of thiostrepton. Retrosynthetic analysis and construction of key building blocks

The first phase of the total synthesis of thiostrepton (1), a highly complex thiopeptide antibiotic, is described. After a brief introduction to the target molecule and its structural motifs, it is shown that retrosynthetic analysis of thiostrepton reveals compounds 23, 24, 26, 28, and 29 as potential key building blocks for the projected total synthesis. Concise and stereoselective constructions of all these intermediates are then described. The synthesis of the dehydropiperidine core 28 was based on a biosynthetically inspired aza-Diels-Alder dimerization of an appropriate azadiene system, an approach that was initially plagued with several problems which were, however, resolved satisfactorily by systematic investigations. The quinaldic acid fragment 24 and the thiazoline-thiazole segment 26 were synthesized by a series of reactions that included asymmetric and other stereoselective processes. The dehydroalanine tail precursor 23 and the alanine equivalent 29 were also prepared from the appropriate amino acids. Finally, a method was developed for the direct coupling of the labile dehydropiperidine key building block 28 to the more advanced and stable peptide intermediate 27 through capture with the highly reactive alanine equivalent 67 under conditions that avoided the initially encountered destructive ring contraction process.     

Imaging Glycosylation In Vivo by Metabolic Labeling and Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Glycosylation is a ubiquitous post‐translational modification, present in over 50 % of the proteins in the human genome, 1 with important roles in cell–cell communication and migration. Interest in glycome profiling has increased with the realization that glycans can be used as biomarkers of many diseases, 2 including cancer. 3 We report here the first tomographic imaging of glycosylated tissues in live mice by using metabolic labeling and a gadolinium‐based bioorthogonal MRI probe. Significant N‐azidoacetylgalactosamine dependent T₁ contrast was observed in vivo two hours after probe administration. Tumor, kidney, and liver showed significant contrast, and several other tissues, including the pancreas, spleen, heart, and intestines, showed a very high contrast (>10‐fold). This approach has the potential to enable the rapid and non‐invasive magnetic resonance imaging of glycosylated tissues in vivo in preclinical models of disease.
