Aggregation Processes with Catalysis-Driven Decomposition

We propose a three-species aggregation model with catalysis-driven decomposition. Based on the mean-field rate equations, we investigate the evoIution behavior of the system with the size-dependent catalysis-driven decomposition rate J（i; j; k） = Jijk^v and the constant aggregation rates. The results show that the cluster size distribution of the species without decomposition can always obey the conventional scaling law in the case of 0 ≤v ≤ 1, while the kinetic evolution of the decomposed species depends crucially on the index v. Moreover, the total size of the species without decomposition can keep a nonzero value at large times, while the total size of the decomposed species decreases exponentially with time and vanishes finally.     

Republication of: Observations in cosmology

This is a reprinting of a paper by Jerome Kristian and Rainer K. Sachs, first published in 1966, in which they proposed a power-series scheme for reading out various parameters of the Universe directly from observations in a model-independent way. The paper has been selected by the Editors of General Relativity and Gravitation for re-publication in the Golden Oldies series of the journal. This republication is accompanied by an editorial note written by George Ellis and by a brief biography of J. Kristian, compiled by A. Krasiński from internet sources.

Dilaton as the Higgs boson

We propose a model where the role of the electroweak Higgs field is played by the dilaton. The model contains terms which explicitly violate gauge invariance; however, it is shown that this violation is fictitious, so that the model is a consistent low-energy effective theory. In the simplest version of the idea the resulting low-energy effective theory is the same as the top mode standard model.     

Synthesis,Spectroscopic Properties,and Photodynamic Anticancer Activities of Novel Arginine-modified Silicon(Ⅳ) Phthalocyanines

We design and synthesize a series of novel silicon(IV) phthalocyanines(SiPcs, 1 a, 2 a, 1 b, and 2 b) axially conjugated with arginine or arginine-containing oligopeptides(Arg-Arg, Cys-Arg, Cys-Arg-Arg) through ester or ether linkers to demonstrate the effects of substituents and coupling ways on the spectral behaviors and photodynamic activities. The ester-linked SiPcs(1 a and 2 a) show slight red-shift, higher fluorescence emission and singlet oxygen generation compared to the ether-linked analogues(1 b and 2 b) due to the stronger electron-withdrawing ability of the ester group, suggesting that electronic effect of the linkers plays an important role in their spectral properties. The introduction of arginine could effectively reduce the aggregation of phthalocyanine in aqueous solutions. With higher cellular uptake and plasma membrane localization ability, 1 b and 2 b exhibit significantly higher photocytotoxicity against both HepG2 and Hela cells. Moreover, the in vivo fluorescence imaging suggests that 2 b is the most specific toward H22 tumor-bearing ICR mice, and it shows efficient tumor growth inhibition with the tumor inhibition rate up to 93%. Thus, this work would provide a new reference for the development of phthalocyanine-based photosensitizers.

Aggressive dereplication using UHPLC–DAD–QTOF: screening extracts for up to 3000 fungal secondary metabolites

In natural-product drug discovery, finding new compounds is the main task, and thus fast dereplication of known compounds is essential. This is usually performed by manual liquid chromatography-ultraviolet (LC-UV) or visible light-mass spectroscopy (Vis-MS) interpretation of detected peaks, often assisted by automated identification of previously identified compounds. We used a 15 min high-performance liquid chromatography–diode array detection (UHPLC–DAD)–high-resolution MS method (electrospray ionization (ESI)⁺ or ESI^?), followed by 10–60 s of automated data analysis for up to 3000 relevant elemental compositions. By overlaying automatically generated extracted-ion chromatograms from detected compounds on the base peak chromatogram, all major potentially novel peaks could be visualized. Peaks corresponding to compounds available as reference standards, previously identified compounds, and major contaminants from solvents, media, filters etc. were labeled to differentiate these from compounds only identified by elemental composition. This enabled fast manual evaluation of both known peaks and potential novel-compound peaks, by manual verification of: the adduct pattern, UV–Vis, retention time compared with log D, co-identified biosynthetic related compounds, and elution order. System performance, including adduct patterns, in-source fragmentation, and ion-cooler bias, was investigated on reference standards, and the overall method was used on extracts of Aspergillus carbonarius and Penicillium melanoconidium, revealing new nitrogen-containing biomarkers for both species.
