Tin oxide was supported on aluminium oxide, titanium oxide, magnesium oxide and silicon oxide, and the resulting interactions between the components in the prepared samples and after reduction were characterized by Mössbauer spectroscopy. It was observed that in the oxide state, tin is present as SnO2 on alumina, magnesia and silica, but on titania tin occupies Ti sites in the structure. After hydrogen treatment at high temperatures, tin is reduced from Sn(4) to Sn(2) on alumina and titania; it is reduced from Sn(4) to Sn(0) on silica, and is practically not reduced on magnesia. These results reveal the degree of interaction between tin and the different supports studied. 相似文献
The title compound, 1,2‐(COOH)2‐1,2‐closo‐C2B10H10·0.5C2H6O or C4H12B10O4·0.5C2H6O, forms a tetramer by incorporating ethanol (solvent) molecules through hydrogen bonding. Two eight‐membered rings [graph set R(8)] are formed by hydrogen bonding between two carboxylic acid groups, whereas two ten‐membered rings [R(10)] are formed by hydrogen bonding between two carboxylic acid groups and the OH group of an ethanol molecule (solvent). Two crystallographically independent tetramers are present in the crystal structure. 相似文献
Capillary reversed-phase liquid chromatography was coupled to electrospray ionization mass spectrometry for determining the concentration of human serum albumin (HSA) in a fresh frozen serum reference material. A biotinylated HSA (bHSA) was prepared and used as an internal standard for the serum albumin determination. The average HSA concentration of the serum sample was determined by mass spectrometry to be 41.5 ± 2.8 g/L at the 95% confidence limit for the measured value. The HSA concentration of the fresh frozen serum was also assayed using the bromocresol green dye-binding method, producing a value of 42.3 ± 1.5 g/L. Calibration curves generated from HSA standards spiked with bHSA showed excellent linearity and the relative standard deviation for replicate analysis of a bHSA spiked serum sample was less than 3%. 相似文献
Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) can estimate parameters relating to blood flow and tissue volume fractions and therefore may be used to characterize the response of breast tumors to treatment. To assess treatment response, values of these DCE-MRI parameters are observed at different time points during the course of treatment. We propose a method whereby DCE-MRI data sets obtained in separate imaging sessions can be co-registered to a common image space, thereby retaining spatial information so that serial DCE-MRI parameter maps can be compared on a voxel-by-voxel basis. In performing inter-session breast registration, one must account for patient repositioning and breast deformation, as well as changes in tumor shape and volume relative to other imaging sessions. One challenge is to optimally register the normal tissues while simultaneously preventing tumor distortion. We accomplish this by extending the adaptive bases algorithm through adding a tumor-volume preserving constraint in the cost function. We also propose a novel method to generate the simulated breast magnetic resonance (MR) images, which can be used to evaluate the proposed registration algorithm quantitatively. The proposed nonrigid registration algorithm is applied to both simulated and real longitudinal 3D high resolution MR images and the obtained transformations are then applied to lower resolution physiological parameter maps obtained via DCE-MRI. The registration results demonstrate the proposed algorithm can successfully register breast MR images acquired at different time points and allow for analysis of the registered parameter maps. 相似文献
A method to reduce the number of captures needed in phase-shifting interferometry is proposed on the basis of grating interferometry and modulation of linear polarization. The case of four interferograms is considered. A common-path interferometer is used with two windows in the object plane and a Ronchi grating as the pupil, thus forming several replicated images of each window over the image plane. The replicated images, under proper matching conditions, superpose in such a way so that they produce interference patterns. Orders 0 and +1 and −1 and 0 form useful patterns to extract the optical phase differences associated to the windows. A phase of π is introduced between these orders using linear polarizing filters placed in the windows and also in the replicated windows, so two π-shifted patterns can be captured in one shot. An unknown translation is then applied to the grating in order to produce another shift in the each pattern. A second and final shot captures these last patterns. The actual grating displacement and the phase shift can be determined according to the method proposed by Kreis before applying proper phase-shifting techniques to finally calculate the phase difference distribution between windows. Related simulations and experimental results are given. 相似文献
W415 is a chiral smectic compound with a remarkably weak temperature dependence of its giant electroclinic effect in the liquid crystalline smectic A* phase. Furthermore it possesses a high spontaneous polarization in the smectic C* phase. The origin of this striking electroclinic effect is the co‐occurrence of a de Vries‐type ordering with a weak first‐order tilting transition (see the synchroton X‐ray scattering profiles).
Retention prediction models for reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) have been extensively studied owing to the fact
that RPLC remains the most widely used chromatographic technique especially in the field of pharmaceutical and biomedical
analyses. However, RPLC is not always the method of choice for the analysis of some compounds that have high polarity. Hydrophilic
interaction chromatography (HILIC) has been gaining interest in the last few years as an alternative option to RPLC for the
analysis of polar and hydrophilic analytes. HILIC is a variant of normal-phase liquid chromatography, but utilizes water in
a water-miscible organic solvent as the eluent in conjunction with a hydrophilic stationary phase. The present review aims
to summarize recent contributions on the development of retention prediction models for a group of basic analytes, namely,
the adrenoreceptor agonists and antagonists, on different polar stationary phases. The use of multiple linear regression and
artificial neural networks in model building is highlighted. 相似文献
