Abstract— Anabaena doliolum , when exposed to either ultraviolet-B (UVB) radiation or Pb, showed reduced growth rate, carbon fixation, O2-evolution, photosynthetic electron transport activity and ATP pool size. The rate of respiration was found to increase in UVB-treated cells; this increase was more pronounced in the cells exposed to UVB and Pb simultaneously. The UVB-induced inhibition of 2,6-dichlorophenol indophenol (DCPIP) photoreduction and lowering of chlorophyll a fluorescence could not be reversed by artificial electron donors (diphenyl carbazide, NH2OH and MnCl2). These electron donors, however, substantially reversed the inhibition caused by Pb, thereby suggesting that UVB primarily inhibits the photosys-tem II (PS II) reaction center and Pb arrests the electron flow at the water splitting site. Nevertheless, the suppressed fluorescence intensity and the reduced emission and excitation peaks of phycobilisomes indicate the involvement of Pb in inhibition of PS II. All combinations of UVB and Pb inhibited the different metabolic processes in a synergistic manner. 相似文献
Purple colored single crystals of the β-modification of Li3TiF6 have been prepared by heating an appropriate mixture of LiF and TiF3 at 820°C under an argon atmosphere. β-Li3TiF6 crystallizes in C2/c with a = 14.452(2) Å, b = 8.798(1) Å, c = 10.113(1) Å and β = 96.30(1)º. The structure is isotypic to β-Li3VF6 and contains isolated compressed TiF6 octahedra (dTi–F = 1.91–2.01 Å). Magnetic properties of β-Li3TiF6 were studied and discussed. Band structure calculations and calculations of the Madelung part of the lattice energy, MAPLE, were performed to discuss the chemical bonding. 相似文献
Powder samples of the new oxide fluoride V2GeO4F2 have been obtained by the reaction of appropriate amounts V2O3, VF3, and GeO2 at 700°C for 18 h in an argon-filled sealed platinum tube. V2GeO4F2 crystallizes in the space group Pnma with a=9.336(1), b=8.898 (1), and c=4.912 (1) Å. The structure has been refined from X-ray powder diffraction data using the Rietveld method (Rint=5.5% and Rp=9.8%). The structure of V2GeO4F2 exhibits close packed layers of the anions with an ordering of O and F. The characteristic building units are discrete GeO4 tetrahedra with Ge-O distances of 1.75-1.80 Å. The V are coordinated by four O and two F to form VO4F2 octahedra connected via two common edges to give zigzag chains. These chains are linked via corners to form a three-dimensional network. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of V2GeO4F2 indicates antiferromagnetic correlations. 相似文献
Multifunctional Cu (II)-based Metal Organic Framework (MOF) [Cu3(BTC)2] has been synthesized by a facile electrochemical method. Crystallographic and morphological characterizations of synthesized MOF have been done using Powder X-ray Diffractometer and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), respectively, whereas Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), UV–Vis Absorption Spectroscopy and Energy Resolved Luminescence Spectroscopic studies have been used for the detailed qualitative, quantitative as well as optical analyses. Sharp PXRD peaks indicate the formation of highly crystalline MOF with face centered cubic (fcc) structure. Flakes (average length?=?0.71 µm and width?=?0.10 µm) and rods (average aspect ratio?=?((0.1:8.3) µm) like morphologies have been observed in SEM micrographs. The presence of C, O and Cu has been confirmed by EDS analysis. Photocatalytic activity potential of the synthesized MOF has been tested using methylene blue dye (MB) as a test contaminant in aqueous media under sunlight irradiation. Selective and sensitive fluorescent sensing of different Nitroaromatic compounds (NACs) like 4-Nitroaniline (4-NA), 2-Nitroaniline (2-NA), 3-Nitroaniline (3-NA), 4-Nitrotoulene (4-NT), 2,4-Dinitrotoulene (2,4-DNT), 1,3-Dinitrobenzene (1,3-DNB), 2,6- Dinitrotoulene (2,6-DNT) has been done by exploring the photoluminescent behaviour of chemically stable Cu3(BTC)2. Synthesized MOF is extremely sensitive towards 4-NA, which is having PL quenching efficiency of 82.61% with highest quenching rate till reported. Indeed, a large quenching coefficient KSV?=?34.02?×?10–7 M?1 and correlation coefficient R2?=?0.9962 in KSV plot have been elucidated with limit of detection (LOD)?=?0.7544 ppb. The possible ways of luminescence quenching are successfully explained by the combination of Photoinduced Electron Transfer (PET) and Resonance Energy Transfer (RET) mechanisms. Additionally, the Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations have been employed to support the experimental results. Cu3(BTC)2 fully demonstrates the power of a multi component MOF, which provides a feasible pathway for the design of novel material towards fast responding luminescence sensing and photocatalytic degradation of pollutants.
The purpose of this note is to show a generalization to Picone’s identity in a nonlinear framework. The classical Picone’s identity turns out to be a particular case of our result. We show, as an application of our results, that the Morse index of the zero solution to a semilinear elliptic boundary value problem is 0 and also establish a linear relationship between the components of the solution of a nonlinear elliptic system. 相似文献
Herein we report the results of detailed crystallographic studies of Ca1−xBaxZr4P6O24 compositions from combined Rietveld refinements of powder X-ray and neutron diffraction data. All the studied compositions
crystallize in rhombohedral lattice (space group R-3 No. 148). A continuous solid solution is concluded from the systematic
variation of unit cell parameters. The variation of unit cell parameters with the composition indicates decreasing trend in
a parameter with increasing Ba2+ concentration contrast to an increasing trend in c parameter.
