Liquid Membrane Transport Behavior of Functional Substituted Crown Ethers for Amino Acids

Crown compounds offer a variety of interesting functions based on their specific bindings of organic guest species1,2. In particular, they can act as carriers in ion- extraction, membrane transport, and phase-transfer reactions. In contrast to the large variety of synthetic ionophores for cation transport, there are only a few examples of synthetic anion transport ionophores. Therefore, it appears highly desirable to search for a new class of ionophores with excellent transport abilities fo…     

Synthesis, Dimeric Crystal Structure, and Biological Activities of N-(4-Methyl-6-oxo-1,6-dihydro-pyrimidin-2-yl)-N′-(2-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-guanidine

IntroductionPlants have a more extensive biosynthetic capacitythan animals, which is attributed to the fact that ani-mals rely on their diet for the supply of many biochemi-cal compounds and their precursors. Owing to thisdifference, plants contain numero…     

Extraction of Cesium from the Irradiated Nuclear Waste by 4(5),4''''(5'''')-Bis[1-hydroxyalkylbenzo]-21-crown-7

The fission product 137Cs accounts for a large fraction of the radioactivity in high-levelnuclear waste (HLW). Because of the hazard to environment and the widespreadapplication of 137Cs gamma radiatior1, a need has arisen to develop improved methods forthe removal and recovery of radiocesium from these wastes. Reports have shown thatsome calixcrown compounds may be highly selective for Cs cation2, but, since thesynthesis of them is difficult and the cost is high, it might obviate their use…     

Determination of Thyroxine with Capillary Electrophoretic Enzyme Immunoassay

Capillary electrophoretic immunoassay (CEIA) is a new analytical technique1,2. In CEIA, the detection methods were UV absorbance detection1 and laser induced fluorescence detection (LIF)2. However, The UV detection is lack of sensitivity. The LIF is difficult to use due to its high cost, and furthermore, most biological fluids are strongly luminescent when excited by the laser in the blue or green region of the spectrum. In our present work, a capillary electrophoretic enzyme immuno…     

Indirect Flow Injection Chemiluminescence Method for the Determination of Tetracyclines Using Cu(Ⅱ) as a Probe Ion

Tetracycline antibiotics (TCs) are active against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, being extensively used in human and veterinary medicine to treat and prevent bacterial infections1. Among the TCs, TC, OTC and CTC are commercially available and permitted for human administration. However, the degradation products occurring in storage conditions might induce potential adverse effects. Thus, many studies have focused on the development of a rapid, sensitive and reli…     

Detecting Multi-Scale Coherent Eddy Structures and Intermittency in Turbulent Boundary Layer by Wavelet Analysis

Multi-scale decomposition by wavelet transform has been performed to velocity time sequences obtained by fine measurements of turbulent boundary layer flow. A conditional sampling technique for detecting multi-scale coherent eddy structures in turbulent field is proposed by using multi-scale instantaneous intensity factor and flatness factor of wavelet coefficients. Although the number of coherent eddy structures in the turbulent boundary layer is very small, their energy percentage with respect to the turbulence kinetic energy is high. Especially in buffer layer, the energy percentages of coherent structures are significantly higher than those in the logarithmic layer, indicating that the buffer layer is the most active region in the turbulent boundary layer. These multi-scale coherent eddy structures share some common dynamical characteristics and are responsible for the anomalous scaling law in the turbulent boundary layer.     

钇和柠檬酸对非负载磷化镍催化剂加氢脱硫性能的影响

采用传统程序升温(TPR)法制备了稀土金属钇(Y)或柠檬酸(CA)改性及Y和CA同时改性的非负载型Ni2P催化剂;采用X射线衍射(XRD)分析、N2吸附比表面积(BET)测定、CO化学吸附分析、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)和透射电子显微镜(TEM)对催化剂的结构和性质进行了表征;并考察了Y和CA对催化剂上进行的二苯并噻吩(DBT)加氢脱硫(HDS)反应性能的影响.结果表明,Y和CA均可促使非晶相NixPyOz向磷化镍活性相的转化,抑制Ni_5P_4杂晶相的形成,从而促进Ni2P活性相的生成;同时能够丰富催化剂的孔道,抑制催化剂表面磷的富集,得到更好的孔结构、更高的活性相分散度.Y或CA以及两者同时改性后的催化剂DBT转化率均明显高于Ni-P催化剂.各催化剂的HDS活性大小顺序为Y-Ni-P-CANi-P-CAY-Ni-PNi-P.在340℃,3.0 MPa,氢油体积比700,质量空速(WHSV)1.5 h-1的条件下,Y-Ni-P-CA催化剂的DBT转化率为97%,比Ni-P催化剂提高了约35%.     

Synthesis and study of MPNS/SMA nano-composite tanning agent

The radical polymerization of maleic anhydride（MA）,styrene（ST）with the vinyl groups introduced onto the surface of the nano-sized silica via solution polymerization method was developed.The methacryloxypropyl nano-sized silica（MPNS）was used as macromonomer and polymerized with maleic anhydride and styrene by initiating with BPO in toluene.The structure and properties of MPNS/SMA nano-composite were characterized by FT-IR spectra and TEM.Meanwhile,it was applied as tanning agent compared with the traditional styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer in leather.It was found that the applied leather had better quality characteristics with the addition of the nano-sized silica.     

Synthesis of aliphatic amidediol and used as a novel mixed plasticizer for thermoplastic starch

In this paper,aliphatic amidediol was synthesized and mixed with glycerol used as a plasticizer for preparing thermoplastic starch（AGPTPS）.The yield of aliphatic amidediol was 91%.FF-IR expressed that the mixture of aliphatic amidediol and glycerol formed stronger and stable hydrogen bond with starch molecules compared to the native cornstarch.By scanning electron microscope（SEM）native cornstarch granules were proved to transfer to a homogeneous continuous system.After being stored for a period time at room temperature,the mechanical properties of AGPTPS were also studied.As a mixed plasticizer,aliphatic amidediol and glycerol would be practical to extend TPS application scopes.     

Design,synthesis and antifungal activities in vitro of novel tetralin compounds

Novel chiral tetralin compounds were designed and synthesized, and their antifungal activities in vitro were tested. The results showed that all of target compounds had potent antifungal activities, and were stronger than that of control compounds tetrahydroisoquinolines. The binding model of lead molecules in the active site of CYP51 of Candida albicans showed that lead compound specifically interacted with the amino acids residues in the active site, without binding with the heme of CYP51, which was different from azole antifungal drugs. The present study might afford a novel lead molecule to develop non-azole CYP51 inhihitars of fungi.
