Atom transfer radical polymerization with activators regenerated by electron transfer of acrylonitrile from silica nanoparticles,and adsorption properties of the resin for Hg2+ after amidoximation with hydroxylamine

Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) was grafted from surfaces of chloro‐modified silica‐gel with their surface chlorines as initiation sites, using an iron (III)‐mediated surface‐initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) with activators regenerated by electron transfer (SI‐ARGET ATRP) method. The graft reaction exhibits first‐order kinetics with respect to the polymerization time in the low‐monomer‐conversion stage. The conversion of monomer (C%) and the percentage of grafting (PG%) increased with increasing of the polymerizing time and reached 23 and 730% after a polymerizing time of 24 hr, respectively. Hydroxylamine (NH₂OH·HCl) was used to modify the cyano groups of SG‐g‐PAN to obtain amidoxime (AO) groups. The AO SG‐g‐PAN was used to remove Hg²⁺. The adsorption kinetics indicated that the pseudo‐second‐order model was more suitable to describe the adsorption kinetics of AO SG‐g‐PAN for Hg²⁺. The adsorption isotherms demonstrated that Langmuir model was much better than Freundlich model to describe the isothermal process. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Substance P conjugated to CdTe quantum dots triggers cytosolic calcium concentration oscillations and induces quantum dots internalization in the pancreatic carcinoma cell line AR4-2J

Highly fluorescent CdTe quantum dots (QDs) stabilized by 3-mercaptopropionic acid were prepared by an aqueous solution approach and used as a fluorescent label to link substance P (SP) in studying the interaction of SP with NK-1 receptor, which was expressed on the AR4-2J cell line. Nonspecific adsorptions of CdTe QDs on the AR4-2J cell membrane were observed, whereas the QD-SP conjugates successfully crossed the cell membrane and entered the cytosol. SP is a neurotransmitter, and neurotransmitter-induced calcium concentration oscillation is a common phenomenon in diverse cells especially of secretory type. Cytosolic calcium concentration responses were studied in the AR4-2J cell line during stimulation with SP and QD-SP conjugates. The oscillations triggered by SP and QD-SP conjugates were dose-dependent and very similar. Such QD-SP conjugates readily internalized into the cytosol as would be expected of an active NK-1 ligand. Therefore QD-SP conjugates could be used successfully to study ligand and NK-1 receptor interactions in live cells. Our research may provide a meaningful reference for congener research.     

From metal-organic framework to nanoporous carbon: toward a very high surface area and hydrogen uptake

In this work, with a zeolite-type metal-organic framework as both a precursor and a template and furfuryl alcohol as a second precursor, nanoporous carbon material has been prepared with an unexpectedly high surface area (3405 m(2)/g, BET method) and considerable hydrogen storage capacity (2.77 wt % at 77 K and 1 atm) as well as good electrochemical properties as an electrode material for electric double layer capacitors. The pore structure and surface area of the resultant carbon materials can be tuned simply by changing the calcination temperature.     

A hybrid adaptively genetic algorithm for task scheduling problem in the phased array radar

A phased array radar (PAR) is used to detect new targets and update the information of those detected targets. Generally, a large number of tasks need to be performed by a single PAR in a finite time horizon. In order to utilize the limited time and the energy resources, it is necessary to provide an efficient task scheduling algorithm. However, the existing radar task scheduling algorithms can't be utilized to release the full potential of the PAR, because of those disadvantages such as full PAR task structure ignored, only good performance in one aspect considered and just heuristic or the meta-heuristic method utilized. Aiming at above issues, an optimization model for the PAR task scheduling and a hybrid adaptively genetic (HAGA) algorithm are proposed. The model considers the full PAR task structure and integrates multiple principles of task scheduling, so that multi-aspect performance can be guaranteed. The HAGA incorporates the improved GA to explore better solutions while using the heuristic task interleaving algorithm to utilize wait intervals to interleave subtasks and calculate fitness values of individuals in efficient manners. Furthermore, the efficiency and the effectiveness of the HAGA are both improved by adopting chaotic sequences for the population initialization, the elite reservation and the mixed ranking selection, as well as designing the adaptive crossover and the adaptive mutation operators. The simulation results demonstrate that the HAGA possesses merits of global exploration, faster convergence, and robustness compared with three state-of-art algorithms—adaptive GA, hybrid GA and highest priority and earliest deadline first heuristic (HPEDF) algorithm.     

Probing Structural Compositions of Porous Media with Two-dimensional Nuclear Magnetic Resonance

Combination of two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (2-D NMR) correlation maps and a simple three-component model are proposed here to identify the structural composition of porous media. Homogeneous magnetic field and field with constant gradient of a novel Halbach sensor are employed for respective relaxation and diffusion measurements. NMR results are compared and confirmed with independent measurements on a scanning electron microscope and by energy dispersive spectrometer methods.
