A Surface Femtosecond Two-Photon Photoemission Spectrometer for Excited Electron Dynamics and Time-Dependent Photochemical Kinetics

A surface femtosecond two-photon photoemission (2PPE) spectrometer devoted to the study of ultrafast excited electron dynamics and photochemical kinetics on metal and metal oxide surfaces has been constructed. Low energy photoelectrons are measured using a hemispheri-cal electron energy analyzer with an imaging detector that allows us to detect the energy and the angular distributions of the photoelectrons simultaneously. A Mach-Zehnder interferom-eter was built for the time-resolved 2PPE (TR-2PPE) measurement to study ultrafast surface excited electron dynamics, which was demonstrated on the Cu(111) surface. A scheme for measuring time-dependent 2PPE (TD-2PPE) spectra has also been developed for studies of surface photochemistry. This technique has been applied to a preliminary study on the photochemical kinetics on ethanol/TiO₂(110). We have also shown that the ultrafast dy-namics of photoinduced surface excited resonances can be investigated in a reliable way by combining the TR-2PPE and TD-2PPE techniques.     

APPROXIMATE SOLUTIONS FOR TRANSIENT RESPONSE OF CONSTRAINED DAMPING LAMINATED CANTILEVER PLATE

The series composed by beam mode function is used to approximate the displacement function of constrained damping of laminated cantilever plates, and the transverse deformation of the plate on which a concentrated force is acted is calculated using the principle of virtual work.By solving Lagrange＇s equation, the frequencies and model loss factors of free vibration of the plate are obtained, then the transient response of constrained damping of laminated cantilever plate is obtained, when the concentrated force is withdrawn suddenly.The theoretical calculations are compared with the experimental data, the results show：both the frequencies and the response time of theoretical calculation and its variational law with the parameters of the damping layer are identical with experimental results.Also, the response time of steel cantilever plate, unconstrained damping cantilever plate and constrained damping cantilever plate are brought into comparison, which shows that the constrained damping structure can effectively suppress the vibration.

Laryngeal Myasthenia Gravis: Report of 40 Cases

Myasthenia gravis, an autoimmune disorder of the neuromuscular junction, is usually recognized because of ocular complaints or generalized weakness. We report a series of 40 patients who presented with dysphonia as their initial and primary complaint. Diagnostic testing included strobovideolaryngoscopy, electromyography (EMG) with repetitive stimulation and Tensilon testing, and laboratory and radiographic evaluation. Strobovideolaryngoscopy most commonly revealed fluctuating impairment of vocal fold mobility, either unilateral or bilateral. EMG detected evidence of neuromuscular junction abnormalities in all patients. Only one patient had evidence of antiacetylcholine receptor (ACh-R) antibodies, but many other abnormalities suggestive of autoimmune dysfunction were present. Pyridostigmine therapy was initiated in 34 patients but was not tolerated in 4. Of the remaining 30 patients, 23 reported improvement of symptoms. We conclude that myasthenia gravis can present with symptoms confined primarily to the larynx and should be included in the differential diagnosis of dysphonia.     

LATTICE BOLTZMANN EQUATION MODEL IN THE CORIOLIS FIELD

In a large-scale field of rotational fluid, various unintelligible and surprising dynamic phenomena are produced due to the effect of the Coriolis force. The lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE) model in the Coriolis field is developed based on previous works.^[1-4] Geophysical fluid dynamics equations are derived from the model. Numerical simulations have been made on an ideal atmospheric circulation of the Northern Hemisphere by using the model and they reproduce the Rossby wave motion well. Hence the applicability of the model is verified in both theory and experiment.

低同源性蛋白质结构预测

基因组计划在实施产生了大量的DNA序列信息,如何有效地利用这些信息来研究基因的产物－蛋白质的结构与功能成为引入注目的研究领域,同源蛋白质结构预测及蛋白质折工识别是在基因组水平上进行蛋白质结构预测的有效方法,酵母基因组中约有50％的基因可以通过这类方法来确定其表面产物蛋白质的结构[1],但是目前所采用的方法在低同源性蛋白质的结构预测方面尚存在较大困难。     

聚乙烯吡咯烷酮存在时反相微乳液中水的状态

运用傅立叶变换红外光谱（FTIR）研究不同分子量的聚乙烯吡咯烷酮（PVP）存在时,十二烷基甜菜碱(C12BE)/正庚烷 /正戊醇 /水（Ⅰ）及二（2 乙基）己基磺化琥珀酸钠（AOT）/正庚烷 /水（Ⅱ） 反相微乳液中水的存在状态.采用计算机分峰技术将微乳液中水分子的O－H伸缩振动进行曲线拟合, （Ⅰ）得到三个子峰,分别位于(3560±20)cm－1,(3430±10)cm－1,(3280±10)cm－1附近; （Ⅱ）得到四个子峰,分别位于3618 cm－1, 3550 cm－1, 3446 cm－1和3292 cm－1处.尽管PVP均增溶于W/O型微乳液中表面活性剂分子的极性基团附近,却没有引起长链间自由水的变化.但由于两体系的差异,PVP的存在,导致微乳液（Ⅰ）的本体水减少,结合水增多,却使体系（Ⅱ）的结合水减少,本体水增多.由于W/O型微乳液中水与生物膜中水相似,这些研究有助于理解生物膜界面上的生物化学和生物物理现象.

Preparation and Molecular Structure of Binuclear Nickel (I) Complex Bridged by 1,2,4, 5‐Benzenetetracarboxylato Tetravalent Anion

The title complex [(H₂O)₂(IMI)₃Ni(TCB)Ni(IMI)₃‐(H₂O)₂] H₂O (TCB = 1,2,4,5‐benzenetetracarboxylato te‐travalent anion; IMI = imidazole) has been prepared by the reaction of Ni(IMI)₃(Ac)₂ and TCB in aqueous solution. The crystal structure has been determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction method. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2₁/c(# 14), a = 1.2714(4) nm, b = 0.9411 (3) nm, c = 1.5869(4) nm, β= 108.54(2)°, V= 1.8001(9) nm³, Z = 2. The main feature of the crystal structure is a symmetric binuclear unit made up of two slightly distorted coordination octahedrons, which are bridged by TCB in monodentate fashion to each metal ion. Moreover three nitrogen atoms from three imidazoles, three oxygen atoms from two water molecules and one carboxylate group of TCB coordinated to a nickel (I) ion are found on a face of the octahedron respectively, so the octahedron is a facial isomer.
