We demonstrate memristive operations using gap-type Ag2S atomic switches, in which the growth and shrinkage of an Ag protrusion are controlled by using solid-electrochemical reactions.
In addition to conventional memristive operations such as those proposed and demonstrated by resistive random-access memories
(ReRAMs) using metal oxide compounds, gap-type Ag2S atomic switches also show new types of memristive operations by storing information from input signals without changing
their output until a sufficient number of signals are inputted. The new types of memristive operations resemble the learning
process seen in neuroplasticity, where changes occur in the organization of the human brain as a result of experience. 相似文献
A sensitive and selective preconcentration method using solid-phase extraction (SPE) disk, namely multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) disk, is proposed for the determination of atrazine and simazine in water samples. Atrazine and simazine were extracted on MWCNTs disk and then determined by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Several parameters on the enrichment factor of the analytes were investigated. The experimental results showed that it was possible to obtain quantitative analysis when the solution pH was 5 using 200 mL of validation solution containing 0.1 μg of triazines and 5 mL of acetone as an eluent. The maximum enrichment factors for atrazine and simazine were 3900 ± 250 and 4000 ± 110, respectively when 200 mL of sample solution volume was used. Relative standard deviations for seven determinations were 6.9% (atrazine) and 3.0% (simazine) under optimum conditions. The linear range of calibration curves were 0.1 to 1 ng mL− 1 for each analyte with good correlation coefficients. The detection limits (3S/N) were 2.5 and 5.0 pg mL− 1 for atrazine and simazine, respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of atrazine and simazine in environmental water samples with high precision and accuracy. 相似文献
We have developed an efficient total synthesis of (?)‐morphine in 5 % overall yield with the longest linear sequence consisting of 17 steps from 2‐cyclohexen‐1‐one. The cyclohexenol unit was prepared by means of an enzymatic resolution and a Suzuki–Miyaura coupling as key steps. Construction of the morphinan core features an intramolecular aldol reaction and an intramolecular 1,6‐addition. Furthermore, mild deprotection conditions to remove the 2,4‐dinitrobenzenesulfonyl (DNs) group enabled the facile construction of the morphinan skeleton. We have also established an efficient synthetic route to a cyclohexenol unit containing an N‐methyl‐DNs‐amide moiety. 相似文献
A complex rotation : The solution conformation of spermidine (SPD) was elucidated by using diastereospecifically deuterated and 13C‐labeled derivatives to diagnose the orientation of seven conformationally relevant bonds. NMR coupling constants were determined for a complex formed from spermidine and adenosine triphosphate (ATP; see figure).
The synthesis of pipecolic acid and homopipecolic acid derivatives was developed from ω-(2-aminophenyl)-1-chloroalkyl p-tolyl sulfoxides by treatment with i-PrMgCl. An intramolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction of a magnesium carbenoid with an N-magnesio arylamine is the key step of this reaction. Proline and pipecolic acid derivatives were also synthesized from ω-(arylamino)-1-chloroalkyl p-tolyl sulfoxides by the same chemistry. Starting from enantiomerically pure (1S,RS)-1-chloro-3-[2-(N-methylamino)phenyl]propyl p-tolyl sulfoxide, enantiomerically pure (R)-pipecolic acid derivative was obtained. The intramolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction of the magnesium carbenoid with N-magnesio arylamine was proven to take place with inversion of the carbenoid carbon. The stereochemistry of these reactions is also discussed. 相似文献
Anion-exchange (AEX) columns were prepared by on-column polymerization of acrylates and methacrylates containing tertiary amino or quaternary ammonium groups on monolithic silica in a fused silica capillary modified with anchor groups. The columns provided a plate height (H) of less than 10 μm at optimum linear velocity (u) with keeping their high permeability (K = 9–12 × 10−14 m2). Among seven kinds of AEX columns, a monolithic silica column modified with poly(2-hydroxy-3-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)propyl methacrylates) (HMPMA) showed larger retentions and better selectivities for nucleotides and inorganic anions than the others. The HMPMA column of 410 mm length produced 42 000–55 000 theoretical plates (N) at a linear velocity of 0.97 mm/s with a backpressure of 3.8 MPa. The same column could be employed for a fast separation of inorganic anions in 1.8 min at a linear velocity of 5.3 mm/s with a backpressure of 20 MPa. In terms of van Deemter plot and separation impedance, the HMPMA column showed higher performance than a conventional particle-packed AEX column. The HMPMA column showed good recovery of a protein, trypsin inhibitor, and it was applied to the separation of proteins and tryptic digest of bovine serum albumin (BSA) in a gradient elution, to provide better separation compared to a conventional particle-packed AEX column. 相似文献
Fluorescence spectra of two fulvic acid (FA) samples, FA0 from underground water and FA1 from forest soil, were recorded in
various surfactant solutions. Alkyltrimethylammonium ions with different alkyl chain lengths induced a decrease in the fluorescence
intensity for both FAs at concentrations below the critical micelle concentration (cmc) and an enhancement above the cmc.
The intensity minimum thus obtained at the cmc was deeper for surfactants with longer alkyl chains. This effect was attributable
to the formation of insoluble FA–surfactant complexes below the cmc and to the solubilization of the complex into micelles
above the cmc. Dodecylpyridinium chloride caused a monotonic decrease in the FA fluorescence even far above the cmc. This
was attributable to the quenching of FA fluorescence by the positioning of the pyridinium head group near the FA fluorophore.
Anionic and nonionic surfactants showed little to no effect on the FA fluorescence. 相似文献
We developed a simple and easy method for solution mixing based on the heat-induced regulation of capillary action in thermo-responsive polymer-coated microchannels. The channels having two T-junctions were fabricated on a glass plate by a sand-blast technique and then coated with a poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) film. The polymer-coating was performed by the modification with allyltrimethoxysilane and the subsequent radical polymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide and N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide. When the channel was warmed by a Peltier device, a capillarity-based solution flow completely stopped because of the water-repellency of channel surfaces. On the other hand, the cooling of the channels allowed the restart of the solution flow through hydrophilic channels. Solution mixing downstream a T-junction was readily conducted by a Peltier device that had placed at the junction. The technique was applied to the fluorometric analysis of polyamines in saliva. The saliva sample was mixed with nickel(II) chloride solution at the first junction to mask amino acids and then mixed with o-phthalaldehyde solution at the second junction to form the fluorometric derivatives of polyamines. Blue fluorescence was observed downstream the second junction. Linear correlation was obtained between the emission intensity and the spermine concentration in the range of 20-100 μM. No mechanical pump or valve was required for the fluid manipulation. 相似文献
