A novel solid-gas process to synthesize LaMnO3 perovskite with high surface area and excellent activity for methane combustion

A novel solid-gas route to prepare LaMnO3 perovskite catalysts for methane combustion has been developed. The method was carried out using a polyvinylpyrrolidone-metal complex as precursor via a solid-gas process to obtain the target materials. The structure and properties of the precursor and the catalysts were characterized by FT-IR, TG-DSC, XRD and N2 adsorption-desorption techniques. The results indicate that the catalysts synthesized via the solid-gas process possess higher surface areas, better thermal resistance and catalytic activity as compared to those prepared with the conventional sol-gel citrate method.     

H+CH3D→H2+CH2D反应的十维量子动力学研究

本文采用最近发展的十维含时波包方法研究了H+CH₃D→H₂+CH₂D反应的模式选择性,计算了反应物CH₃D在基态、CH₃对称和不对称伸缩振动激发态、CD伸缩振动激发态以及CH₃弯曲模式的基频和倍频激发态等6个初始状态下的反应几率. 计算结果表明,在碰撞能0.0∽1.0 eV区间内,激发CH₃的任意一种伸缩振动模都能增强反应活性,而CD伸缩振动激发对反应的促进作用不明显. CH₃弯曲振动模的基频激发对促进反应活性几乎没有影响,由于CH₃对称伸缩振动模的基频与CH₃弯曲振动模倍频之间的费米共振作用,CH₃弯曲振动模的倍频激发显著增强了反应活性.     

甲硫氨酸-脑啡肽的分子动力学模拟

The conformational properties of Met-enkephalin (Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Met) were investigated by high temperature quenched molecular dynamics simulations in vapor. Each of these selected structures were then analyzed according to their backbone(φ,Ψ) conformational distributions and sorted into 13 families by computing the rms difference between the Cα-C backbone fragments of each residue over all the structures. Selected lowest energy conformations from each of 13 families were thoroughly energy minimized. The results of simulations show that Met-enkephalin is a flexible molecule. It shows a type Ⅰβ-turn, with the Gly2 carbonyl forming a hydrogen bond with the Met5 amino proton and a type Ⅱβ turn, with the Tyr1 amino proton forming a hydrogen bond with the Phe4 carbonyl. The multiple fit were carried out for all of the 13 conformers with morphine(9 atoms on the pharmacophore groups). F2 and F6 were the most similar to morphine. The rms were 0.0504 nm and 0.0726 nm. The results of simulations also show that Tyr amino N corresponds to N on piperidine ring in morphine, Tyr phenol corresponds to the phenol in morphine, the aromatic ring of Phe corresponds to the cyclohexene ring in morphine. The distances between the three pharmacophores, d1 (Tyr N to Tyr OH), d2 (Tyr N to Tyr du1), d3(Tyr N to Phe du2) and d4(Tyr N to Phe du2) were found to be about 0.8, 0.5, 0.7-0.9 and 0.5 nm, respectively, the corresponding, distances of morphine were found to be 0.7697(N18 to O6),0.5143(N18 to du25), 0.3962(N18 to du24)和0.5566(N18 to O15)nm. Therefore, they may be acted on the same receptor. This model should aid in pharmaceutical design of peptide and nonpeptide ligands with opioid.     

The asymptotic behavior of a Chemostat model with Crowley–Martin type functional response and time delays

In this paper, we introduce an improved Chemostat model with Crowley–Martin type functional response and time delays. By constructing Lyapunov functionals, the global asymptotic stability of the equilibria is shown in the case of a single species. The conditions for the global asymptotical stability of the model with time delays are obtained via monotone dynamical systems in the case of two species. Our results demonstrate that the effects of predator interference may result in coexistence of two species.
