Several 2-alkylcarbamoyl-1-alkylvinylbenzo[b]furans were designed to find a selective leukotriene B4 (LTB4) receptor antagonist. 2-(2-Alkylcarbamoyl-1-alkylvinyl)benzo[b]furans having a substituent group at the 3-position, 4-(2-alkylcarbamoyl-1-methylvinyl)benzo[b]furans having a substituent group at the 3-position, and 7-(2-alkylcarbamoyl-1-methylvinyl)benzo[b]furans and 3-(2-alkylcarbamoyl-1-alkylvinyl)benzo[b]furans were prepared and evaluated for LTB4 receptor (BLT1 and BLT2) inhibitory activities. (E)-3-Amino-4-[2-[2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethylcarbamoyl]-1-methylvinyl]benzo[b]furan ((E)-17c) showed potent and selective inhibitory activity for BLT2. On the other hand, (E)-7-(2-diethylcarbamoyl-1-methylvinyl)benzo[b]furan ((E)-27a) showed potent inhibitory activity for both BLT1 and BLT2. 相似文献
A velocity spectrometer for a neutral atomic beam has been developed to prepare a monovelocity atomic beam. In order to disperse
a relatively fast atomic beam according to its longitudinal velocity, a magnetic quadrupole lens with a large magnetic gradient
has been used. The device was made using NdFeB permanent magnets. The magnetic gradient in the quadrupole was measured to
be sufficiently large (1 T/cm) and uniform along the radial direction. The resonance fluorescence spectra of the Li atomic
beam after passing through the magnetic quadrupole lens have been measured by using a single-mode tunable laser. From the
peak shift of the fluorescence spectrum, the exerted force on Li atoms by the magnetic lens was 8160 times as large as the
acceleration of gravity. Using the present spectrometer, we have measured the longitudinal velocity distribution of the thermal
Li beam at 800 °C, which was in good agreement with the result from the fluorescence spectra. It is expected that a monovelocity
Li atomic beam of 1000 m/s with a velocity spread narrower than 1% can be easily formed with a compact experimental arrangement
using the developed velocity spectrometer. In this case, the available flux given as a fraction of the incident Li flux is
estimated to be about 1%. A high-velocity resolution of 0.03% is expected at the available fractional flux of about 0.01%.

For laser collimation of neutral F atoms, a resonance transition cycle between the metastable and the upper excited states
(3s4P5/2?3p4D07/2) can be used as a two-level closed system. We have determined the lifetime of the metastable state (3s4P5/2) in F atoms by measuring the decay curve of the fluorescence intensity as a function of distance from the plasma source.
Combining the measured velocity of F radicals from the Doppler shift of the fluorescence peak, we have obtained the lifetime
of the F metastable state as 3.7±0.5 μs. With this short metastable lifetime of F radicals, the simple Doppler cooling method
using spontaneous light force is not practical for laser collimation of F radicals. Use of stimulated light force may be necessary
to collimate F radical beams in a short distance.

This work focuses on a carbon-based imprinted polymer composite, employed as a molecular recognition and sensing interface in fabricating a disposable electrochemical sensor. The carbon-paste electrode was made of a molecularly imprinted polymer comprising a copolymer of methacrylic acid as the functional monomer and blended crosslinking monomers of N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide, and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, with theophylline as the template. The analytical properties of the proposed theophylline sensor were investigated, and the findings revealed an increase in differential pulse voltammetric current compared to the non-imprinted electrode. Under optimized conditions, the sensor has shown high sensitivity, high selectivity, lower detection limit (2.5 µg/mL), and satisfactory long-term stability. Further, the sensor was tested in whole bovine blood and validated without any matrix effect and cross-reactivity. Additionally, chronoamperometry of the sensor chip supported a rapid determination of THO with a short response time of 3 s. This carbon-paste electrode is highly specific for theophylline and may be applied as a drug sensor for clinical use. 相似文献
Instantaneous readouts of an electrical resistivity probe are taken in an upward vertical air–water mixture. The signals are further processed to render the statistical moments and the probability density functions here used as objective flow pattern indicators. A series of 73 experimental runs have its flow pattern identified by visual inspection assisted by the analyses of the void fraction’s trace and associated probability density function. The flow patterns are classified into six groups and labeled as: bubbly, spherical cap, slug, unstable slug, semi-annular and annular. This work compares and analyzes the performance of artificial neural networks, ANN, and expert systems to flow pattern identification. The employed ANNs are Multiple Layer Perceptrons, Radial Basis Functions and Probabilistic Neural Network, with single and multiple outputs. The performance is gauged by the percentage of right identifications based on experimental observation. The analysis is extended to clustering algorithms to assist the formation of knowledge base employed during the learning stages of the ANNs and expert systems. The performance of the following clustering algorithms: self organized maps, K-means and Fuzzy C-means are also tested against experimental data. 相似文献
Summary: Chain‐growth polycondensations of 3‐aminobenzoic acid methyl esters 1a and 1b , bearing a tri‐ or tetra(ethylene glycol) methyl ether unit on the amino group, respectively, were carried out with lithium hexamethyldisilazide (LiHMDS) as a base and phenyl 4‐methylbenzoate ( 2 ) as an initiator in THF at 0 °C. The poly(m‐benzamide)s obtained in the presence of N,N,N′,N′‐tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) possessed narrow molecular weight distributions ( < 1.2) with molecular weights that were determined by the feed ratios of [ 1 ]0/[ 2 ]0. Poly 1a and poly 1b were each soluble in water and exhibited a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) in water. Furthermore, the phase separation in water depended on the length of the oligo(ethylene glycol) side chain and on the molecular weight and molecular weight distribution of poly 1 .
The single crystal growth conditions and spectroscopic characterization of Ni-doped MgGa2O4 with inverse-spinel structure crystal family are described. Single crystals of this material have been grown by floating zone method. Ni-doped MgGa2O4 single crystals have broadband fluorescence in the 1100–1600 nm wavelength range, 1.6 ms room temperature lifetime, 56% quantum efficiency and stimulated emission cross section at the emission peak. This new material is very promising for tunable laser applications covering the important optical communication and eye safe wavelength region. 相似文献
Hexagonal shape‐persistent macrocycles (SPMs) consisting of three pyridine and three phenol rings linked with acetylene bonds were developed as a preorganized host for saccharide recognition by push–pull‐type hydrogen bonding. Three tert‐butyl or 2,4,6‐triisopropylphenyl substituents were introduced on the host to suppress self‐aggregation by steric hindrance. In spite of the simple architecture, association constants Ka of the host with alkyl glycoside guests reached the order of 106 m ?1 on the basis of UV/Vis titration experiments. This glycoside recognition was much stronger than that in the cases of acyclic equivalent hosts because of the entropic advantage brought by preorganization of the hydrogen‐bonding sites. Solid–liquid extraction and liquid–liquid transport through a liquid membrane were demonstrated by using native saccharides, and much preference to mannose was observed. 相似文献
