A three-layered minimizer in R2 for a variational problem with a symmetric three-well potential

Let W be a potential on R ² which is equivariant by the symmetry group of the equilateral triangle and has three minima. We show that the elliptic system possesses a nontrivial smooth solution U : R ² → R ². Here DW(U)^T is the transpose of the derivative DW( U ). The natural energy of the problem is unbounded and compactness techniques cannot be applied. The proof depends on careful energy estimates and asymptotics for several one-dimensional problems and for two-dimensional problems on bounded domains. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Magnetron sputtering deposition of silicon nitride on polyimide separator for high-temperature lithium-ion batteries

To date,lithium-ion batteries are becoming increasingly significant in the application of portable devices and electrical vehicles,and revolutionary progress in theoretical research and industrial application has been achieved.However,the commercial polyolefin separators with unsatisfying electrolytes affinity and poor thermal stability have extremely restricted the further application of lithium-ion batteries,especially in the high-temperature fields.In this work,magnetron sputtering deposition technique is employed to modify the commercial polyimide separator by coating silicon nitride on both sides.Magnetron sputtering deposition modified polyimide(MSD-PI)composite separator shows high thermal stability and ionic conductivity.More importantly,compared with the cells using Celgard separator,the cells with MSD-PI separator exhibit superior electrochemical performance,especially long-term cycle performance under high temperature environment,owing to the high thermal conductivity of surface Si3 N4 particles.Hence,lithium-ion batteries with MSD-PI separator are capable of improving thermal safety and capacity retention,which demonstrates that magnetron sputtering deposition technique could be regarded as a promising strategy to develop advanced organic/inorganic composite separators for high-temperature lithium-ion batteries.

Two new eudesmane sesquiterpene lactones were isolated from the stalk of Lactuca sativa var.anagustata L and their structureswere elucidated by means of spectroscopic methods,including 2D NMR(~1H-~1H COSY,HMBC and NOESY) as 1β-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-4α-hydroxyl-5α,6β,11βH-eudesma-12,6α-olide(1) and 1β-hydroxyl-15-O-(p-methoxyphenylacetyl)-5α,6β,11βH-eudesma-3-en-12,6α-olide(2).     

腺苷与人血清白蛋白间相互作用的荧光光谱及分子模型法研究

在模拟人体生理条件下,结合紫外光谱和分子对接模型运用荧光光谱研究了腺苷与人血清白蛋白(HSA)间的键合作用。腺苷有较强的能力猝灭人血清白蛋白的内源荧光,且根据Stern-Volmer方程判断出猝灭机制为静态猝灭。本文运用相应的荧光值和Vant’Hoff热力学方程求得了不同温度下的结合常数(K)以及一些热力学参数,如焓变(ΔH)和熵变(ΔS)。结果表明：键合过程中疏水作用力对新化合物的稳定性起主要作用,这与分子对接模型方法研究的结果基本一致。另外还研究了常见离子对结合常数的影响。     

Cloning, Expression and Purification of Wheat Acetyl-CoA Carboxylases CT Domain in E. coil

The entire gene of carboxyltransferase（CT） domain of acetyl-CoA carboxylase（ACCase） from Chinese Spring wheat（CSW） plastid was cloned firstly, and the 2.3 kb gene was inserted into PET28a^＋ vector and expressed in E. coil in a soluble state. The （His）6 fusion protein was identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. The recombinant protein was purified by affinity chromatography, and the calculated molecular mass（Mr） was 88000. The results of the sequence analysis indicate that the cloned gene（GeneBank accession No. EU124675） was a supplement and revision of the reported ACCase CT partial cDNA from Chinese Spring wheat plastid. The recombinant protein will be significant for us to investigate the recognizing mechanism between ACCase and herbicides, and further to screen new herbicides.     

Tracing the evolution of the mitochondrial protein import machinery

Mitochondria are eukaryotic organelles originated from a single bacterial endosymbiosis about 2 billion years ago. One of the earliest events in the evolution of mitochondria was the acquisition of a mechanism that facilitated the import of proteins from cytosol. The mitochondrial protein import machinery consists of dozens of subunits, and they are of modular design. However, to date, it is not clear when certain component was added to the machinery. Using extensive homology searches, the evolutionary history of the mitochondrial protein import machinery was reconstructed. The results indicated that 6 of the 35 subunits have homologs in prokaryote, suggesting that they were prokaryotic origin; the major subunit gains were occurred in the earliest stage of eukaryotic evolution; subsequent to the gain of these conserved set of subunits, the mitochondrial protein import machinery components diversified along the eukaryotic lineages and a number of lineage-specific subunits can be observed. Furthermore, protein import systems of mitochondria-like organelles (hydrogenosomes and mitosomes) have dramatically reduced their subunit contents, however, they share most of the prokaryotic origin components with mitochondrion.     

A structurally ordered thiophene-thiazole copolymer for organic thin-film transistors

This paper reports a new donor-acceptor copolymer semiconductor, PTBTh, comprising bithiophene and bithiazole where the regular coplanar structure and the intramolecular charge transfer are expected to increase the opportunity for --- stacking and charge transport. The AFM image shows lamellar stacking of the polymer on the surface. The field-effect transistor (FET) properties of PTBTh have been evaluated by a bottom-contact/bottom-gate TFT configuration. The device showed a high hole mobility of 1.14×10-2 cm2 V-1 s-1 and a current on/off ratio of 3×105 with the polymer thin film annealed at a mild temperature of 120 ℃ when measured under ambient conditions.
