基于等阻抗差分段法的变阻抗线电路模拟

新型Z箍缩驱动源系统采用变阻抗线结构形式的径向阻抗变换器进行能量传递和变换,为了获得最大的能量效率,需要应用电路模拟方法研究变阻抗线传递功率的特性。采用了等阻抗差分段法对变阻抗线进行了建模计算,与以往的等长度分段方法比较,在相同的分段数量下,等阻抗差分段法在阻抗变化的连续性上优于等长度分段法。给出了具有指数形式的变阻抗线的算例,分别采用两种分段法进行了计算,对计算结果的比较表明:等阻抗差分段法可以使计算更快地收敛到真实解。     

混合模式直线型变压器驱动源模块

在对Marx发生器和直线型变压器驱动源(LTD)电路拓扑结构及等效参数进行分析对比的基础上,结合两种电路拓扑结构的技术特点,提出了基于Marx基本回路的混合模式LTD模块构想。在混合模式LTD模块中,每个基本回路是一个多级的Marx发生器回路,回路中只有前一级或几级开关需要外部触发,而后级开关工作在自击穿模式。计算分析表明：混合模式LTD模块设计可以有效降低LTD系统对多路同步触发的要求;独立回路式结构可提高整个混合模式LTD模块的可维护性;回路间耦合触发的方式可提高整个混合模式LTD的工作可靠性。最后,还探讨了回路内阻、磁芯损耗及Marx发生器回路中后级自击穿开关抖动对混合模式LTD模块参数设计的影响。     

Stainless steel capillary columns for high temperature gas chromatography

A layer of elemental silicon has been deposited on the surface of stainless steel tubing by means of chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Two kinds of capillary column were prepared from the deactivated tubing: cross-linked, silanol-terminated polydime-thylsiloxane wall coated open tubular (WCOT) columns and molecular sieve 13X porous layer open tubular (PLOT) columns. Unlike fused silica capillary columns, stainless steel WCOT and PLOT columns can be operated at temperatures in excess of 400°C. High temperature simulated distillation has been performed successfully with a macro bore WCOT column and rapid PNA (paraffin, naphthene, and aromatic) analysis with a multidimensional gas solid chromatographic (GSC) system using PLOT columns.

Development of an Organic Dye-Conjugated β-Diketonate-Europium Complex Luminescence Probe for Discrimination and Detection of Intracellular Biothiols

Small molecular biothiols, cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy) and glutathione (GSH), play important roles in organisms, and their concentration levels are indicative of some human diseases. Herein we report an organic dye-conjugated β-diketonate-Eu³⁺ complex, [Eu(NBD-keto)₃(DPBT)] (NBD-keto: 7-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (NBD)-conjugated to 1,1,1,2,2-pentafluoro-5-phenyl-3,5-pentanedionate through a “O” ether bond; DPBT: 2-(N,N-diethylanilin-4-yl)-4,6-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-1,3,5-triazine), which acts as a unique luminescent probe for detecting and discriminating biothiols. [Eu(NBD-keto)₃(DPBT)] itself is not luminescent due to intramolecular interactions between NBD and β-diketonate-Eu³⁺ moieties. Upon reaction with biothiols, the β-diketonate-Eu³⁺ complex [Eu(keto)₃(DPBT)] is generated, which emits long-lived red emission at 610 nm. Meanwhile, three biothiol-substituted NBD derivatives that exhibit different luminescence behaviors, green emissive (short-lived) NBD-NR (R=Cys or Hcy) at 540 nm and non-luminescent NBD-SR (R=GSH), are also generated. These luminescence response behaviors allow time-gated and steady-state luminescence modes to be combined for detecting total biothiols and discriminating GSH and Cys/Hcy. Using this probe, the quantitative detection and discrimination of GSH and Cys/Hcy in lysis solutions of HeLa cells were realized, which revealed the potential of the probe for biomedical applications.

Multifunctional peptide-assembled micelles for simultaneously reducing amyloid-β and reactive oxygen species

The excessive production and deposition of amyloid-β (Aβ) is one of the most important etiologies of Alzheimer''s disease (AD). The interaction between Aβ and metal ions produces aberrant reactive oxygen species (ROS), which induce oxidative stress and accelerate the progression of AD. To reduce Aβ plaques and ROS to maintain their homeostasis is an emerging and ingenious strategy for effective treatment of AD. Herein, we report the rational design of multifunctional micelles (MPGLT) based on a polymer-grafted peptide to simultaneously clear Aβ and ROS for AD therapy. The MPGLT integrating three functional peptides as a ROS scavenger (tk-GSH), β-sheet breaker (LP) and an autophagy activator (TK) respectively, could capture and degrade Aβ. Meanwhile, the tk-GSH on the surface of MPGLT effectively scavenges the intracellular ROS. Consequently, MPGLT reduced the cytotoxicity of Aβ and ROS. In vivo animal studies using an AD mouse model further showed that MPGLT could transport across the blood–brain barrier for decreasing the Aβ plaque and eliminating ROS in vivo. This peptide micelle-based synergistic strategy may provide novel insight for AD therapy.

Crystal structure and strong antiferromagnetic interaction of a terephthalate-bridged binuclear copper(II) Complex, [{Cu(dipn)}2(μ-TPHA)](ClO4)2 (dipn = N-(3-aminopropyl)-1,3-propanediamine)

Three binuclear copper(II) complexes bridged by three different bridging ligands: μ-TPHA (terephthalato), μ-PHTA (phthalato) and μ-TCB (tetracarboxylatobenzene) have been synthesized. The crystal structure of [{Cu(dipn)}₂(μ-TPHA)](ClO₄)₂ where dipn = N-(3-aminopropyl)-1,3-propanediamine was solved at room temperature. The [{Cudipn}₂(μ-TPHA)](ClO₄)₂ complex consists of a μ-terephthalato bridging binuclear copper(II) cationic unit and two non-coordinated perchlorate anions. The TPHA ligand bridges in a bismonodentate fashion. The environment of the copper(II) ion is a distorted plane-square-planar coordination sphere. The magnetic properties of the three complexes have been investigated in the 75–300 K range, and show that the geometry of the Cu^II atom is the important factor for magnetic interactions in the terephthalato bridging binuclear copper(II) complexes.
