Fumigant Activity of Bacterial Volatile Organic Compounds against the Nematodes Caenorhabditis elegans and Meloidogyne incognita

Plant-parasitic nematodes infect a diversity of crops, resulting in severe economic losses in agriculture. Microbial volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are potential agents to control plant-parasitic nematodes and other pests. In this study, VOCs emitted by a dozen bacterial strains were analyzed using solid-phase microextraction followed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. Fumigant toxicity of selected VOCs, including dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), 2-butanone, 2-pentanone, 2-nonanone, 2-undecanone, anisole, 2,5-dimethylfuran, glyoxylic acid, and S-methyl thioacetate (MTA) was then tested against Caenorhabditis elegans. DMDS and MTA exhibited much stronger fumigant toxicity than the others. Probit analysis suggested that the values of LC₅₀ were 8.57 and 1.43 μg/cm³ air for DMDS and MTA, respectively. MTA also showed stronger fumigant toxicity than DMDS against the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita, suggesting the application potential of MTA.     

荧光光谱法研究锌(Ⅱ)存在下诺氟沙星与牛血清白蛋白的结合作用

在模拟生理条件下,用荧光光谱法研究了诺氟沙星对牛血清白蛋白以及锌(Ⅱ)对诺氟沙星和牛血清白蛋白荧光光谱特性的影响。实验结果表明,诺氟沙星和锌(Ⅱ)都可以使牛血清白蛋白的荧光强度发生猝灭。根据荧光猝灭双倒数图计算诺氟沙星和牛血清白蛋白之间的结合常数为6.80×105,结合位点数为1.21。由此可见,诺氟沙星和牛血清白蛋白之间有很强的结合作用,这为诺氟沙星在体内被蛋白质储存和转运提供了条件。并且在锌(Ⅱ)存在下,诺氟沙星与牛血清白蛋白的结合作用有所增强。荧光猝灭双倒数图计算的结果表明,诺氟沙星和牛血清白蛋白之间的结合常数和结合位点数均随锌(Ⅱ)浓度的增大而增大。通过对锌(Ⅱ)、诺氟沙星和牛血清白蛋白的结合反应的研究,进一步探讨了诺氟沙星、锌(Ⅱ)在生物体内与蛋白质相互作用的机理。

First observation of the P-wave spin-singlet bottomonium states hb(1P) and hb(2P)

We report the first observations of the spin-singlet bottomonium states h(b)(1P) and h(b)(2P). The states are produced in the reaction e(+)e(-)→h(b)(nP)π(+)π(-) using a 121.4 fb(-1) data sample collected at energies near the Υ(5S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e(+)e(-) collider. We determine M[h(b)(1P)]=(9898.2(-1.0-1.1)(+1.1+1.0)) MeV/c(2) and M[h(b)(2P)]=(10,259.8±0.6(-1.0)(+1.4)) MeV/c(2), which correspond to P-wave hyperfine splittings ΔM(HF)=(+1.7±1.5) and (+0.5(-1.2)(+1.6)) MeV/c(2), respectively. The significances of the h(b)(1P) and h(b)(2P) are 5.5σ and 11.2σ, respectively. We find that the production of the h(b)(1P) and h(b)(2P) is not suppressed relative to the production of the Υ(1S), Υ(2S), and Υ(3S).     

The pressure-induced phase transition of the solid β–HMX

The structural, vibrational and thermodynamic properties of β-octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (β–HMX) crystal have been studied using the isothermal-isobaric molecular dynamics (NPT-MD) simulations. The variations of cell volume, lattice constants and molecular geometry of solid β–HMX are presented and discussed at different pressure and temperature. It was found that the N–N bond is significantly lengthened with increasing temperature, which suggests that it is relevant to the initial decomposition. An abrupt change at 27 Gpa for the volume and internal geometrical parameters was observed. This is in good accord with the experimental observation that there is a phase transition at 27 GPa, which is clearly due to conformational change, not chemical reaction. The vibrational frequencies at ambient conditions agree well with experimental results, and the pressure/temperature-induced frequency shifts of these modes are discussed. Frequency discontinuity was also observed at pressure when the phase transition occurred. The Grüneisen parameter was obtained using the vibrational frequency.     

Molecular Beam Epitaxy of Nonstoichiometric Semiconductors and Multiphase Material Systems

When arsenides are grown by molecular beam epitaxy at low substrate temperatures, as much as 2% excess arsenic can be incorporated into the epilayer. This excess arsenic is in the form of antisites, but there is also a substantial concentration of gallium vacancies. With anneal, there is a significant decrease in the arsenic antisite and gallium vancancy concentrations as the excess arsenic precipitates. With further anneal, the arsenic precipitates coarsen. This combination of low substrate temperature molecular beam epitaxy and a subsequent anneal results in a broad spectrum of materials, from highly defected epilayers to a two-phase system of semimetallic arsenic precipitates in an arsenide semiconductor matrix. These materials exhibit some very interesting and useful electrical and optical properties.

Study on the electronic structure and optical properties of different Al constituent Ga1−xAlxAs

Using quantum mechanics GASTEP software package based on the first principle density function theory, the electronic structure and optical properties of Ga_1−xAl_xAs at different Al constituent are calculated. Result shows that with the increase of Al constituent, the band gap of Ga_1−xAl_xAs increases and varies from direct band gap to indirect band gap; the absorption band edge and the absorption peak move to high-energy side; the static reflectivity decreases. With the increasing of the incident photon energy, Ga_1−xAl_xAs shows metal reflective properties in certain energy range. With the increasing of Al constituent, static dielectric constant decreases and the intersection of dielectric function and the x-axis move towards high-energy side; the peak of energy loss function move to low-energy side and the peak value reduces.     

Influence of cesium on the stability of a GaAs photocathode

The stability of a reflection-mode GaAs photocathode has been investigated by monitoring the photocurrent and the spectral response at room temperature.We observe the photocurrent of the cathode decaying with time in the vacuum system under the action of Cs current,and find that the Cs atoms residing in the vacuum system are helpful in prolonging the life of the cathode.We examine the evolution and analyse the influence of the barrier on the spectral response of the cathode.Our results support the double dipolar model for the explanation of the negative electron affinity effect.
