Adjuvant Effects of Dual Co-stimulatory Molecules on Cellular Responses to HIV Multiple-epitope DNA Vaccination

Designing adjuvants that can induce strong cytotoxic T cell responses is largely required for preparing DNA vaccines. In this study we explored dual costimulatory molecules 4-1BBL and OX40L as adjuvants to improve the efficiency of the HIV multiple-epitope DNA vaccine. When explored in the human dendritic cell-T cell based coculture system,dual costimulatory molecules significantly enhanced the anti-HIV T cell response of the HIV mul-tiple-epitope DNA vaccine,as detected by intracellular cytokine staining t...

荧光光谱法研究左氧氟沙星与MCM-41的相互作用

采用微波辅助水热法制备介孔分子筛MCM-41,并用浸渍法将左氧氟沙星(LVFX)组装在MCM-41均一的六方形孔道中,制备出新型载药复合物LVFX/MCM-41。用粉末X射线衍射(XRD)、低温氮吸附、傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)及差热-热重(TGA-DTA)分析对MCM-41以及LVFX/ MCM-41复合物进行表征,合成的介孔分子筛MCM-41的孔径为2.382 nm,比表面积为1 015 m2·g-1。对MCM-41、LVFX/MCM-41、LVFX(固态)及LVFX(溶液)的荧光光谱研究结果显示,LVFX/MCM-41的荧光光谱比组装前发生明显红移,表明MCM-41孔道内表面的羟基和LVFX形成氢键,羟基上的电子云向LVFX分子上的吸电子基团转移;同时MCM-41和LVFX之间形成新环,使电子云能在更大的环上移动,药物分子的共轭体系扩大,荧光光谱峰红移。MCM-41与左氧氟沙星之间强的相互作用为研发以MCM-41为载体的新型释药系统提供了理论依据。

水中运动目标动态线谱增强算法研究

通常的基于短时自相关的自适应线谱增强器(SABALSE)主要缺点是:输入信噪比低时,抑制高斯噪声性能差。为了最大限度地克服SABALSE的缺点,我们充分利用高阶累积量抑制高斯噪声的性能和高阶累积量的不同更新算法,提出了基于四阶累积量不同切片的自适应动态线谱增强新算法,并对其原理、结构进行了剖析。用实测鱼雷线谱数据,对鱼雷与水听器处于不同方位时,水听器接收的线谱进行了动态仿真。结果表明:基于四阶累积量非对角切片的自适应动态线谱增强(NDSCBADLSE)算法抑制高斯噪声、增强动态线谱的能力强于基于对角切片的自适应动态线谱增强(DSCBADLSE)算法,且均强于SABALSE算法。因此,本文的算法可用于提高水下探测系统和水下武器系统对微弱信号的检测能力。

Deflagration-to-detonation transition process for spherical aluminum dust/epoxypropane mist/air mixtures in a large-scale experimental tube

The deflagration-to-detonation transitions (DDTs) for clouds of spherical aluminum dust (SAD) mixed with air or epoxypropane mist (EPM) and air were investigated in a 29.6-m-long experimental tube of 199 mm in diameter. The clouds formed through the injection of SAD and SAD/liquid epoxypropane samples into the experimental tube. Explosions of the SAD/air mixture were initiated using a 7-m-long EPM/air cloud explosion ignited by a 40-J electric spark. Explosions in SAD/EPM/air clouds were initiated using a 1...     

厚度诱导的YBa2Cu3O7-δ超导薄膜剩余应力及临界电流变化

本文通过脉冲激光沉积法制备了不同厚度(80nm、320nm、1000nm和2000nm)的YBa2Cu3O7-δ(YBCO)超导薄膜,对它们的剩余应力和临界电流特性进行了对比研究.通过系列的激光显微Raman光谱和磁化曲线测量分别获得了薄膜剩余应力和磁化临界电流密度(Jc)对薄膜厚度的依赖关系.结果显示超导薄膜内剩余应力越小,Jc越高.对于中等厚度的薄膜样品(320nm和1000nm),其膜内剩余应力较小,同时由其特征的磁通匹配场大小推知在该厚度范围内的样品具有较高的线性缺陷密度,从而显示出较高的Jc值.     

Wear analysis of revolute joints with clearance in multibody systems

In this work, the prediction of wear for revolute joint with clearance in multibody systems is investigated using a computational methodology. The contact model in clearance joint is established using a new hybrid nonlinear contact force model and the friction effect is considered by using a modified Coulomb friction model. The dynamics model of multibody system with clearance is established using dynamic segmentation modeling method and the computational process for wear analysis of clearance joint in multibody systems is presented. The main computational process for wear analysis of clearance joint includes two steps, which are dynamics analysis and wear analysis. The dynamics simulation of multibody system with revolute clearance joint is carried out and the contact forces are drawn and used to calculate the wear amount of revolute clearance joint based on the Archard’s wear model. Finally, a four-bar multibody mechanical system with revolute clearance joint is used as numerical example application to perform the simulation and show the dynamics responses and wear characteristics of multibody systems with revolute clearance joint. The main results of this work indicate that the contact between the joint elements is wider and more frequent in some specific regions and the wear phenomenon is not regular around the joint surface, which causes the clearance size increase non-regularly after clearance joint wear. This work presents an effective method to predict wear of revolute joint with clearance in multibody systems.
