We propose a phase-modulation fluorometer (PMF) with a light-emitting diode (LED) or a laser diode (LD) used as an excitation light source (ELS) that is driven in the phase-modulation (PM) mode. The PM-ELS generates many frequency sidebands that spread in the vicinity of carrier frequency fc with the interval of modulation frequency fm depending on the maximum phase deviation Δφ. The scheme enables us to derive fluorescence lifetime values of a multicomponent sample at one time. We show a typical numerical simulation result for explaining the principle of operation. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed PMF, we have measured fluorescence lifetimes of three kinds of inorganic fluorescent glasses and that of a mixture solution of 1 × 10?6M rhodamine 6G and 1 × 10?6 M coumarin 152 in ethanol with a volume ratio of 1: 1. 相似文献
The asymmetric total synthesis of the marine metabolite, halicholactone 1, is described. The bisallylic triol 6 with three chiral centers at C8, C12, and C15 was constructed by [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of the sulfoxide 18, which was prepared stereoselectively using the chirality of (diene)Fe(CO)3 complexes. Introduction of the trans-substituted cyclopropane subunit into 21 was successfully achieved using the modified regio- and stereoselective Simmons-Smith reaction. The use of RCM (ring-closing metathesis) methodology (4-->35) was pivotal for the formation of a nine-membered unsaturated lactone fragment of halicholactone 1. As this approach is flexible and stereoselective, other oxylipins could be synthesized by the protocol described herein. 相似文献
2‐(3,4,5,6‐Tetrafluoro‐2‐hydroxyphenyl)benzoxazole ( 2 ) emits the long wavelength fluorescence around 500 nm in nonpolar solvent via the intramolecular proton transfer process in the excited state of 2 (enol‐form) and also emits the intermediate wavelength fluorescence around 440 nm in polar solvent, which is assumed to originate from the excited state of 2 (anion). The ease of formation of 2 (anion), compared to 2‐(2‐hydroxyphenyl)benzoxazole ( 1 ), is explained by the strongly inductive fluorine atoms. In a solvent with the intermediate polarity, 2 emits both fluorescences and their relative intensity is dependent on the concentration of 2 , which is supposed to be caused by the high sensitivity of the intermediate wavelength emission to the concentration quenching. 相似文献
Uniaxially oriented films of poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate] (P(3HB)) and two kind of copolymers, poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate-co-8%-[R]-3-hydroxyvalerate] (P(3HB-co-8%-3HV)), and poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate-co-[R]-5%-3-hydroxyhexanoate] (P(3HB-co-5%-3HH)), were prepared by cold-drawing from amorphous preforms at temperatures near to the respective glass transition temperatures. Melt-quenched films in a rubber state could be stretched reproducibly to a draw ratio of 500%∼1800%, and subsequent annealing under tension led to improvement of the tensile strength and Young's modulus. Two-step drawing resulted in further improvement of the mechanical properties. The mechanical properties remained unchanged after storing for 6 months at room temperature, suggesting that high orientation and crystallinity suppress the secondary crystallization. 相似文献
The GeV photon beam at SPring-8 is produced by backward-Compton scattering of laser photons from 8 GeV electrons. The maximum energy of the photon will be above 3 GeV, and the beam intensity will be 107 photons/sec. Polarization of the photon beam will be 100 % at the maximum energy with fully polarized laser photons. We report the outline of the quark nuclear physics project with this high-quality high-intensity beam. 相似文献
In situ observation of lamellar crystals during the enzymatic degradation by poly(hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) depolymerase is carried out on the thin films of poly[((R)-3-hydroxybutyric acid)-co-(16 mol-%-(R)-3-hydroxypentanoic acid)] using atomic force microscopy in buffer solution. Erosion of lamellar crystals and formation of splintered morphology along the crystal growth direction are directly observed during the course of the enzymatic degradation process. The changes in lamellar morphologies caused by enzymatic degradation are discussed in terms of lamellar crystal growth process.

Cancer cells recognize physical cues transmitted from the surrounding microenvironment, and accordingly alter the migration and chemosensitivity. Cell adhesive biomaterials with tunable physical properties can contribute to the understanding of cancer cell responses, and development of new cancer therapies. Previously, it was reported that polyrotaxane-based surfaces with molecular mobility effectively modulate cellular functions via the yes-associated protein (YAP)-related signaling pathway. In the present study, the impact of molecular mobility of polyrotaxane surfaces on the migration and chemosensitivity of lung (A549), pancreatic (BxPC-3), and breast cancer (MDA-MB-231) cell lines is investigated, and it is found that the cellular spreading of adherent A549 and BxPC-3 cells and nuclear YAP translocation are promoted on low-mobility surfaces, suggesting that cancer cells alter their subcellular YAP localization in response to molecular mobility. Furthermore, low-mobility surfaces suppress cellular migration more than high-mobility surfaces. Additionally, low-mobility surfaces promote the cisplatin chemosensitivity of each cancer cell line to a greater extent than high-mobility surfaces. These results suggest that the molecular mobility of polyrotaxane surfaces suppresses cellular migration and enhances chemosensitivity via the subcellular translocation of YAP in cancer cells. Biointerfaces based on polyrotaxanes can thus be a new platform for elucidating cancer cell migration and chemoresistance mechanisms. 相似文献
