在铜铁、铜钴复合氧化物上利用CO低温催化还原NO

Copper iron composite oxides (CuO/Fe2O3) and copper cobalt composite oxides (CuO/Co3O4) for the catalytic reduction of NO with CO at low temperature were prepared by co-precipitation. The catalytic activity and thermal stability of the catalysts were evaluated by a microreactor-GC system. The 100% conversion temperatures of NO are 80 oC for CuO/Fe2O3 and 90 oC for CuO/Co3O4. The catalysts possess high catalytic activity and favorable thermal stability for NO reduction with CO in a wide temperature range and long time range. A systematic study of the molar ratios of the reactants, the volume of NaOH, aging time, and calcination temperature/time was carried out to investigate the influence preparation conditions on the catalytic activity of the catalysts.

含水合物沉积物多相渗流特性研究进展

天然气水合物作为一种储量大、无污染的清洁能源近些年受到了广泛关注.近20年来,中国进行了较大范围的陆海域天然气水合物储层勘探与储量预测. 2017年,中国地质调查局牵头对南海神狐海域的天然气水合物进行了基于降压渗流原理的试验性开采.国内外已进行的水合物试采工程面临着气体产量低、出砂较多等问题,其最主要的原因之一是开发过程中沉积物内复杂多相渗流机理尚不明晰.本文综述了平行毛细管模型、Kozeny模型等广泛应用于天然气水合物开发渗流分析的理论模型,对比分析了水合物开发多尺度渗流过程模拟方法,简述了国内外含水合物沉积物渗透率测试、渗流过程中沉积物物性演变以及水合物开采室内模拟等方面的渗流实验进展,总结了矿场尺度的天然气水合物储层开采过程中产气数值模拟手段,展望了多相渗流模型、储层原位含水合物样品室内测试及结构与物性演化、矿场尺度数值模拟与水平井压裂技术等应用研究的未来方向与挑战.     

Maximum Profit Output Configuration of Multi-Reservoir Resource Exchange Intermediary

A model of a multi-reservoir resource exchange intermediary also defined as a commercial engine is proposed according to analogies and similarities between thermodynamics and economics. The optimal configuration of a multi-reservoir commercial engine with a maximum profit output objective is determined by applying optimal control theory. The optimal configuration consists of two instantaneous constant commodity flux processes and two constant price processes, and the configuration is independent of a number of economic subsystems and commodity transfer law qualitatively. The maximum profit output needs some economic subsystems to never contact with the commercial engine during commodity transfer processes. Numerical examples are provided for a three-economic-subsystem commercial engine with linear commodity transfer law. The effects of price changes of an intermediate economic subsystem on the optimal configuration of a three-economic-subsystem and the performance of optimal configuration are discussed. The research object is general, and the results can provide some theoretical guidelines for operations of actual economic processes and systems.     

Entropy Sources Based on Silicon Chips: True Random Number Generator and Physical Unclonable Function

Entropy is a measure of uncertainty or randomness. It is the foundation for almost all cryptographic systems. True random number generators (TRNGs) and physical unclonable functions (PUFs) are the silicon primitives to respectively harvest dynamic and static entropy to generate random bit streams. In this survey paper, we present a systematic and comprehensive review of different state-of-the-art methods to harvest entropy from silicon-based devices, including the implementations, applications, and the security of the designs. Furthermore, we conclude the trends of the entropy source design to point out the current spots of entropy harvesting.     

Integrating a Luminescent Porous Aromatic Framework into Indicator Papers for Facile,Rapid, and Selective Detection of Nitro Compounds

Porous aromatic framework materials with high stability, sensitivity, and selectivity have great potential to provide new sensors for optoelectronic/fluorescent probe devices. In this work, a luminescent porous aromatic framework material (LNU-23) was synthesized via the palladium-catalyzed Suzuki cross-coupling reaction of tetrabromopyrene and 1,2-bisphenyldiborate pinacol ester. The resulting PAF solid exhibited strong fluorescence emission with a quantum yield of 18.31%, showing excellent light and heat stability. Because the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of LNU-23 was higher than that of the nitro compounds, there was an energy transfer from the excited LNU-23 to the analyte, leading to the selective fluorescence quenching with a limit of detection (LOD) ≈ 1.47 × 10⁻⁵ M. After integrating the luminescent PAF powder on the paper by a simple dipping method, the indicator papers revealed a fast fluorescence response to gaseous nitrobenzene within 10 s, which shows great potential in outdoor fluorescence detection of nitro compounds.     

Thermostability Improvement of L-Asparaginase from Acinetobacter soli via Consensus-Designed Cysteine Residue Substitution

To extend the application range of L-asparaginase in food pre-processing, the thermostability improvement of the enzyme is essential. Herein, two non-conserved cysteine residues with easily oxidized free sulfhydryl groups, Cys8 and Cys283, of Acinetobacter soli L-asparaginase (AsA) were screened out via consensus design. After saturation mutagenesis and combinatorial mutation, the mutant C8Y/C283Q with highly improved thermostability was obtained with a half-life of 361.6 min at 40 °C, an over 34-fold increase compared with that of the wild-type. Its melting temperature (T_m) value reaches 62.3 °C, which is 7.1 °C higher than that of the wild-type. Molecular dynamics simulation and structure analysis revealed the formation of new hydrogen bonds of Gln283 and the aromatic interaction of Tyr8 formed with adjacent residues, resulting in enhanced thermostability. The improvement in the thermostability of L-asparaginase could efficiently enhance its effect on acrylamide inhibition; the contents of acrylamide in potato chips were efficiently reduced by 86.50% after a mutant C8Y/C283Q treatment, which was significantly higher than the 59.05% reduction after the AsA wild-type treatment. In addition, the investigation of the mechanism behind the enhanced thermostability of AsA could further direct the modification of L-asparaginases for expanding their clinical and industrial applications.     

Development of Glycyrrhetinic Acid and Folate Modified Cantharidin Loaded Solid Lipid Nanoparticles for Targeting Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Cantharidin (CTD) is the major component of anticancer drugs obtained from Mylabris Cichorii and has a good inhibitory effect on several cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and breast cancer. However, due to its toxicity, oral administration can cause various adverse reactions, limiting its clinical application. The aim of this work was to design glycyrrhetinic acid (GA)- and/or folate (FA)-modified solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) for the encapsulation of CTD to target HCC. Four CTD-loaded SLNs (cantharidin solid lipid nanoparticles (CSLNs), glycyrrhetinic acid-modified cantharidin solid lipid nanoparticles (GA-CSLNs), folate-modified cantharidin solid lipid nanoparticles (FA-CSLNs), and glycyrrhetinic acid and folate-modified cantharidin solid lipid nanoparticles (GA-FA-CSLNs)) were prepared by the emulsion ultrasonic dispersion method, and their physicochemical parameters were determined (particle size and distribution, morphology, zeta-potential, entrapment efficiency, drug loading, and hemolysis). Additionally, the antitumor activities of the four SLNs were evaluated comprehensively by tests for cytotoxicity, cell migration, cell cycle, apoptosis, cellular uptake, competition suppression assay, and in vivo tumor suppression assay. Four SLNs showed spherical shapes and mean diameters in the range of 75–110 nm with size dispersion (PDI) within the range of 0.19–0.50 and zeta-potential approximately –10 mV. The entrapment efficiency of CTD in SLNs was higher than 95% for all tested formulations, and no hemolysis was observed. Compared to GA-CSLNs or CSLNs, GA-FA-CSLNs and FA-CSLNs showed stronger cytotoxicity on hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HepG2), and the cytotoxicity of GA-FA-CSLNs on hepatocyte cells (L-02) was remarkably reduced compared with other formulations. GA-FA-CSLNs and FA-CSLNs also increased the inhibition of HepG2 cell migration, and FA-CSLNs had the highest apoptosis rate. The cell cycle results indicated that HepG2 cells were arrested mainly in the S phase and G2/M phase. Analysis of competition inhibition experiments showed that GA and FA ligands had targeted effects on HepG2 cells. The in vivo tumor inhibition experiment showed that GA-FA-CSLNs and FA-CSLNs had excellent tumor inhibition ability—their tumor inhibition rates were 96.46% and 89.92%, respectively. Our results indicate that GA-FA-CSLNs and FA-CSLNs have a promising future in the therapeutic intervention of HCC.
