Design and Synthesis of a Terbium(III) Complex-Based Luminescence Probe for Time-Gated Luminescence Detection of Mercury(II) Ions

Time-gated luminescence detection technique using lanthanide complexes as luminescent probes is a useful and highly sensitive method. However, the effective application of this technique is limited by the lack of the target-responsive luminescent lanthanide complexes that can specifically recognize various analytes in aqueous solutions. In this work, a dual-functional ligand that can form a stable complex with Tb³⁺ and specifically recognize Hg²⁺ ions in aqueous solutions, N,N,N ¹ ,N ¹ -{[2,6-bis(3′-aminomethyl-1′-pyrazolyl)-4-[N,N-bis(3″,6″-dithiaoctyl)-aminomethyl]- pyridine]} tetrakis(acetic acid) (BBAPTA), has been designed and synthesized. The luminescence of its Tb³⁺ complex is weak, but can be effectively enhanced upon reaction with Hg²⁺ ions in aqueous solutions. The luminescence response investigations of BBAPTA-Tb³⁺ to various metal ions indicate that the complex has a good luminescence sensing selectivity for Hg²⁺ ions, but not for other metal ions. Thus a highly sensitive time-gated luminescence detection method for Hg²⁺ ions was developed by using BBAPTA-Tb³⁺ as a luminescent probe. The dose-dependent luminescence enhancement of the probe shows a good linearity with a detection limit of 17 nM for Hg²⁺ ions. These results demonstrated the efficacy and advantages of the new Tb³⁺ complex-based luminescence probe for the sensitive and selective detection of Hg²⁺ ions.     

Oscillatory and anti-oscillatory motifs in genetic regulatory networks

Recently,self-sustained oscillatory genetic regulatory networks(GRNs) have attracted significant attention in the biological field.Given a GRN,it is important to anticipate whether the network could generate oscillation with proper parameters,and what the key ingredients for the oscillation are.In this paper the ranges of some function-related parameters which are favorable to sustained oscillations are considered.In particular,some oscillatory motifs appearing with high-frequency in most of the oscillatory GRNs are observed.Moreover,there are some anti-oscillatory motifs which have a strong oscillation repressing effect.Some conclusions analyzing these motif effects and constructing oscillatory GRNs are provided.     

磁绝缘线振荡器内气体碰撞电离数值模拟

针对气体碰撞电离过程,介绍了蒙特卡罗碰撞（MMC）的处理方法,利用MMC方法编写了气体碰撞电离模块,将其移植到3维全电磁粒子模拟程序NEPTUNE之中,模拟了充有He气的磁绝缘线振荡器（MILO）。模拟结果表明:当He气密度较低时,电离的正离子由于较重无法自由移动,形成了正离子通道,可以有效中和电子束空间电荷场,有利于电子束传输和群聚,提高了束波互作用效率,微波输出功率得到了明显提高,起振时间也有所缩短;当进一步增加He气密度时,电离碰撞增强,电子和离子数目会雪崩式增长,电子束由于碰撞增强而导致能散度增大,其负效应已经远大于中和空间电荷场的正效应,反而不利于电子束的群聚和共振,从而导致输出微波功率降低乃至截断,起振时间缩短是由于其在非雪崩阶段的正效应积累所致,但是随着负效应的增强起振功率不能得以维持,二极管最终将闭合。另外,还模拟了MILO填充空气、水蒸气及二氧化碳等多原子、多组分气体的碰撞电离物理过程。模拟结果显示,同压强情况下,填充空气、水蒸气及二氧化碳的脉冲缩短现象要比填充He气等较低原子序数气体的情况严重得多。     

Output tracking and synchronization of chaotic Chua’s circuit with disturbances via model predictive regulator

In this paper, we consider the output tracking and synchronization problem for a piecewise linear chaotic Chua’s circuit, which is expected to follow the reference signal generated by another autonomous chaotic Chua’s circuit. A novel model predictive regulator is proposed to guarantee the chaos synchronization in the presence of external disturbance. Moreover with this regulator, the optimal transient tracking performance for synchronization is ensured even when the piecewise autonomous and controlled Chua’s circuits switch asynchronously. The proposed approach is highly efficient in the sense that the regulation conditions can be satisfied by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities and several Sylvester equations instead of many partial differential regulator equations in the well-known nonlinear output regulation theory.

AssignFit: a program for simultaneous assignment and structure refinement from solid-state NMR spectra

AssignFit is a computer program developed within the XPLOR-NIH package for the assignment of dipolar coupling (DC) and chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) restraints derived from the solid-state NMR spectra of protein samples with uniaxial order. The method is based on minimizing the difference between experimentally observed solid-state NMR spectra and the frequencies back calculated from a structural model. Starting with a structural model and a set of DC and CSA restraints grouped only by amino acid type, as would be obtained by selective isotopic labeling, AssignFit generates all of the possible assignment permutations and calculates the corresponding atomic coordinates oriented in the alignment frame, together with the associated set of NMR frequencies, which are then compared with the experimental data for best fit. Incorporation of AssignFit in a simulated annealing refinement cycle provides an approach for simultaneous assignment and structure refinement (SASR) of proteins from solid-state NMR orientation restraints. The methods are demonstrated with data from two integral membrane proteins, one α-helical and one β-barrel, embedded in phospholipid bilayer membranes.     

Multichannel and omnidirectional transparency in periodic metamaterial layers

Multichannel and omnidirectional transmission can be realized in one-dimensional periodic metamaterial layers, where double-negative materials and single-negative materials are alternately stacked. The proposed structures can produce as many resonance transmission modes as desired by adjusting the number of the periods. Such transmission modes with perfect transmission are robust against incident angles and polarizations. The frequencies and frequency intervals of these modes can be tuned by changing the thicknesses of the metamaterial layers. Composite right/left-handed transmission lines with lumped elements (capacitors and inductors) were used to verify the characteristics of the considered system. Our findings provide an efficient way to select useful multiple channel signals from all directions, and it is useful in optoelectronic device applications.
