Two-photon annihilation rate of the positronic HCN molecule

Positron binding by the HCN molecule was studied within a modified adiabatic approximation. This approach, in which the positron is treated as a light pseudonucleus with fractional charge, leads to the binding energy of 0.65?mHartree. Using effective positron mass which reproduces the Quantum Monte Carlo binding energy gives an estimation of the two-photon annihilation rate of e ⁺HCN, equal to 0.091?ns^?1.     

Reduced field-of-view DTI segmentation of cervical spine tissue

The number of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) studies regarding the human spine has considerably increased and it is challenging because of the spine’s small size and artifacts associated with the most commonly used clinical imaging method. A novel segmentation method based on the reduced field-of-view (rFOV) DTI dataset is presented in cervical spinal canal cerebrospinal fluid, spinal cord grey matter and white matter classification in both healthy volunteers and patients with neuromyelitis optica (NMO) and multiple sclerosis (MS). Due to each channel based on high resolution rFOV DTI images providing complementary information on spinal tissue segmentation, we want to choose a different contribution map from multiple channel images. Via principal component analysis (PCA) and a hybrid diffusion filter with a continuous switch applied on fourteen channel features, eigen maps can be obtained and used for tissue segmentation based on the Bayesian discrimination method. Relative to segmentation by a pair of expert readers, all of the automated segmentation results in the experiment fall in the good segmentation area and performed well, giving an average segmentation accuracy of about 0.852 for cervical spinal cord grey matter in terms of volume overlap. Furthermore, this has important applications in defining more accurate human spinal cord tissue maps when fusing structural data with diffusion data. rFOV DTI and the proposed automatic segmentation outperform traditional manual segmentation methods in classifying MR cervical spinal images and might be potentially helpful for detecting cervical spine diseases in NMO and MS.     

Morphology Development in Multi‐Component Polymer Blends: I Composition Effect on Phase Morphology in PP/PET Polymer Blends

The relationship of the phase morphology of polypropylene/polyethylene‐terephthalate (PP/PET) blends and their corresponding compatibilized blends with composition was investigated using digital image analysis. A diameter, d _g , was defined and calculated to discuss the phase morphology of this polymer blend system. A figure‐estimation method was introduced to determine the width of the distribution of d _g . Based on the method, it is proven that the distribution of d _g obeys a log‐normal distribution and consequently, the distribution width, σ was calculated. Further, a fractal dimension, D _f , was introduced to describe the distribution of main sizes of the particles of the dispersed phase. The results showed that, while d _g increased with the concentration of the dispersed phase, σ and D _f show different dependence relations on composition;σ increases monotonously but D _f shows a maximum at a PET content of 30%, indicating that, even though the whole size distribution is much broader, the distribution of the main body of size becomes more uniform when the content of PET is less than 30%.     

Relationship between Dispersive Surface Tension and Density and Molecular Weight of Solvents and Polymers

The surface and interfacial properties of polymers are important for their applications. Generally, the surface property is quantitatively characterized by the surface tension or surface tension component parameters, which are obtained with the contact angle technique. However, the contact angle technique has an inherent problem, contact angle hysteresis phenomenon, which will result in many incredible surface tension data. In order to find a simple and easy method to estimate the rationality of a surface tension result, the relationship between dispersive surface tension component and density and molecular weight is researched in this work. It is found that for 30 organic solvents, there is a good relationship between the dispersive surface tension r^d and the parameter . In addition, for 12 polymers, when the molecular weight is replaced with the molecular weight of the repeat unit, there is still the same relationship as for small liquids. However, because it is difficult to judge the accuracy of the published dispersive data of the polymers, the found experiential relationship needs further confirmation, requiring more reliable published data.     

Influence on drug efficacy of the binding behavior of pioglitazone hydrochloride with tryptophan residues,and tyrosine residues in bovine transferrin

Abstract

The interaction of pioglitazone hydrochloride bound to tryptophan residues and tyrosine residues in bovine transferrin was investigated using synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy at various temperatures (298, 310, and 318?K). From binding constants and thermodynamic parameters, it was shown that 1:1 stable compound was formed by the electrostatic force interaction of pioglitazone hydrochloride bound to tryptophan residues and tyrosine residues in bovine transferrin. The extent of binding between pioglitazone hydrochloride and tryptophan residues in bovine transferrin was more than that between pioglitazone hydrochloride and tyrosine residues in bovine transferrin. At 310?K, the fluorescence quenching ratio number of tyrosine residues and tryptophan residues in bovine transferrin were 47.52% and 54.19%, respectively, which indicated that the fluorescence contribution of tryptophan residues was greater. At 310?K, pioglitazone hydrochloride-tyrosine residues(in bovine transferrin) binding rate were 55.60–73.82%, and the combined model was W?=??0.0315R²???0.1520R?+?0.7385. The value of Hill’s coefficients was greater than 1, which suggested that there was a positive cooperativity between pioglitazone hydrochloride and subsequent ligands. The results of molecular docking were consistent with that of experimental calculation.     

Lattice dynamics and phase diagrams for hydrogen bonded systems

Abstract

A variational correlated ground state wave-function theory is applied to investigate the high-pressure deformation of hydrogen-bond potential described by a double Morse potential functions. The evolution of the hydrogen bond potential with increasing pressure and the effects of deuterium isotope substitution on the quantum-fluctuation-driven phenomena are discussed. The theory was employed for predicting and interpreting the pressure dependence of the phase transition temperatue for KDP-like ferroelectrics and NQR-frequency coefficients for several deuterated and undeuterated crystals.     

Why to synthesize vaterite polymorph of calcium carbonate on the cellulose matrix via sonochemistry process?

Vaterite is an important biomedical material due to its features such as high specific surface area, high solubility, high dispersion, and small specific gravity. The purposes of this article were to explore the growth mechanism of vaterite on the cellulose matrix via sonochmistry process. In the work reported herein, the influences of experimental parameters on the polymorph of calcium carbonate were investigated in detail. The calcium carbonate crystals on the cellulose matrix were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Experimental results revealed that all the reactants, solvent, and synthesis method played an important role in the polymorph of calcium carbonate. The pure phase of vaterite polymorph was obtained using Na₂CO₃ as reactant in ethylene glycol on the cellulose matrix via sonochmistry process. Based on the experimental results, one can conclude that the synthesis of vaterite polymorph is a system process.     

Lie symmetries and nonlocally related systems of the continuous and discrete dispersive long waves system by geometric approach

By using the extended Harrison and Estabrook's differential forms approach, in this paper, we investigate the Lie symmetries of the continuous and discrete dispersive long waves system, respectively. Based on this method, two closed ideals written in terms of a set of differential forms are constructed for the dispersive long waves systems. Furthermore, some invariant solutions are presented for such systems. By a direct computation, it is shown that the discrete dispersive long waves system admits a Kac-Moody-Virasoro type and a Virasoro-like type Lie algebra, respectively. Finally, we present an interesting relationship between the continuous case and a modified dispersive long waves system, which can be used to find nonlocal properties for such systems with each other.
