Preparation and characterization of Fe3O4 magnetic composite microspheres covered by a P(MAH-co-MAA) copolymer

A magnetic core–shell-layered polymer microsphere (MPS) was successfully synthesized by a dispersion polymerization route, where the modified Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles (MFN) were used as a core, while poly(maleic anhydride-co-methacrylic acid) P(MAH-co-MAA) as a shell was covered on the surface of the Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles. Environmental scanning electron microscope (ESME) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) measurements indicate that the magnetic P(MAH-co-MAA)/Fe₃O₄ composite microspheres assume sphericity and have a novel core–shell-layered structure. The crystal particle sizes of the unimproved Fe₃O₄ and the MFN samples vary from 8 to 16 nm in diameter, and the average size is about 10.6 nm in diameter. The core–shell magnetic composite microspheres can be adjusted by changing the stirring speed. Since multiple Fe₃O₄ cores were coated with a proper percentage of P(MAH-co-MAA) copolymers, and therefore lower density was acquired for the MPS, which improved sedimentation and dispersion behavior. The saturated magnetization of pure Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles reaches 48.1 emu g⁻¹ and the value for composite nanoparticles was as high as 173.5 emu g⁻¹. The nanoparticles show strong superparamagnetic characteristics and can be expected to be used as a candidate for magnetism-controlled drug release.

Investigation of the local structure and the effects of the orbit reduction factor on the EPR g-factors for octahedral (CrO6) cluster in TiO2:Cr and MgO:Cr systems

A theoretical method for studying the inter-relation between electronic and molecular structure has been proposed based on the complete energy matrices for a d³ configuration ion in a tetragonal ligand-field. By means of this method, the local structure for Cr³⁺ ion doped in oxides TiO₂ (anatase) and MgO has been determined. The calculated results indicate that the local structure of the (CrO₆)⁹⁻ cluster in TiO₂:Cr³⁺ and MgO:Cr³⁺ systems exists as a compressed distortion relative to the regular octahedron. Meanwhile, the dependence of the EPR zero-field splitting parameter D on the local structure parameter ΔR (ΔR=R₁−R₂) has been revealed. In addition, the relation between the EPR g-factors (g,g,Δg) and the orbit reduction factor k has been discussed for the two systems, suggesting that the orbit reduction factor k is very important to understand the EPR g-factors.     

Controlling subsurface damage in neodymium-doped phosphate glass

We investigate the removal mechanism of neodymium-doped phosphate glass dominated in loose abrasive grinding and bound abrasive grinding. Moreover, we investigate the surface roughness and subsurface damage change with optical fabrication parameters, such as different spindle speed, load and abrasive size under different grinding processes in details. For a range of experimental conditions, we find that fracture is the principal removal mechanism for loose abrasive grinding, while plastic scratching is the dominating mechanism for bound abrasive grinding. The load has more influence on subsurface damage for bound abrasive grinding than for loose abrasive grinding. However, the spindle speed has different effect on subsurface damage produced with loose abrasive grinding and bound abrasive grinding. Moderate spindle speed and low load is preferred to produce smaller subsurface damage for loose abrasive grinding. Moreover, higher spindle speed and lower load are preferred to plastic scratching for bound abrasive grinding. Bound abrasive grinding produces 4 times lower surface roughness and 3 times lower subsurface damage than loose abrasive grinding.     

Mitochondrial BNIP3 upregulation precedes endonuclease G translocation in hippocampal neuronal death following oxygen-glucose deprivation

Background  

Caspase-independent apoptotic pathways are suggested as a mechanism for the delayed neuronal death following ischemic insult. However, the underlying signalling mechanisms are largely unknown. Recent studies imply the involvement of several mitochondrial proteins, including endonuclease G (EndoG) and Bcl-2/adenovirus E1B 19 kDa-interacting protein (BNIP3), in the pathway of non-neuronal cells.     

Thermal entanglement in a mixed-spin Heisenberg XXZ model under a nonuniform external magnetic field

The thermal entanglement in (1/2,1) mixed-spin Heisenberg XXZ model is investigated under an external nonuniform magnetic field. In the uniform magnetic field system, the critical magnetic field B _c and critical temperature T _c are increased by increasing the anisotropic parameter k. The degree of magnetic field b plays an important role in improving the critical temperature and enlarging the region of entanglement in the nonuniform magnetic field system.     

Electro-acupuncture promotes survival, differentiation of the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells as well as functional recovery in the spinal cord-transected rats

Background  

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are one of the potential tools for treatment of the spinal cord injury; however, the survival and differentiation of MSCs in an injured spinal cord still need to be improved. In the present study, we investigated whether Governor Vessel electro-acupuncture (EA) could efficiently promote bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) survival and differentiation, axonal regeneration and finally, functional recovery in the transected spinal cord.

A fiber micro-vibration sensor based on single-mode fiber ring laser

A new micro-vibration sensor based on single-mode fiber ring laser is put forward. The Mach-Zehnder interferometric （MZI） detection technique is presented for interrogating laser frequency shift due to the measurand （piezoelectric transducer （PZT） is used to simulate the micro-vibration） induced laser cavity strain from both single- and multi-mode lasers. In the experiment, compared with multi-mode laser sensors, the single-mode laser sensor is proved to be a sensor with high resolution. When the PZT is driven by the analog signal （0.03 rad near 2 kHz）, the signal-to-noise ratio （SNR） of output signal from the single-mode laser sensor is close to 55 dB and the sensitivity of the sensor is about 5 ×10^-5 rad/Hz1/2.
