Control of scroll wave turbulence in a three-dimensional reaction-diffusion system with gradient

In this paper, we summarize our recent experimental and theoretical works on observation and control of scroll wave (SW) turbulence. The experiments were conducted in a three-dimensional Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction-diffusion system with chemical concentration gradients in one dimension. A spatially homogeneous external forcing was used in the experiments as a control; it was realized by illuminating white light on the light sensitive reaction medium. We observed that, in the oscillatory regime of the system, SW can appear automatically in the gradient system, which will be led to spatiotemporal chaos under certain conditions. A suitable periodic forcing may stabilize inherent turbulence of SW. The mechanism of the transition to SW turbulence is due to the phase twist of SW in the presence of chemical gradients, while modulating the phase twist with a proper periodic forcing can delay this transition. Using the FitzHugh-Nagumo model with an external periodic forcing, we confirmed the control mechanism with numerical simulation. Moreover, we also show in the simulation that adding temporal external noise to the system may have the same control effect. During this process, we observed a new state called "intermittent turbulence," which may undergo a transition into a new type of SW collapse when the noise intensity is further increased. The intermittent state and the collapse could be explained by a random process.     

A simple and sensitive fluorescence quenching method for the determination of H(2)O(2) using Rhodamine B and FE(3)O(4) nanocatalyst

In pH 1.99 sodium acetate-HCl buffer solutions at 60 °C, Rhodamine B exhibited a strong fluorescence peak at 584 nm using an excitation wavelength of 548 nm. The fluorescence quenching occurred when Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles catalyzed H₂O₂ oxidation of Rhodamine B. Under the chosen conditions, the fluorescence intensity at 584 nm decreased when the concentration of H₂O₂ increased. The fluorescence quenching intensity is linear with the concentration of H₂O₂ in the range of 10–200 nmol/L. Thus, a new and simple and sensitive nanocatalytic fluorescence method was proposed for the determination of H₂O₂ in synthetic sample, with satisfactory results.

Preparation, characterization and photocatalytic activity of polycrystalline Bi2O3/SrTiO3 composite powders

Bi₂O₃/SrTiO₃ composite powders have been prepared and their photocatalytic activities were investigated by photooxidation of methanol. These powders were characterized by UV-Visible diffuse reflectance spectra, SEM and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results revealed that all the Bi₂O₃/SrTiO₃ composite powders exhibited higher photocatalytic activity than pure SrTiO₃, Bi₂O₃ and TiO₂ (P25) under visible light irradiation (λ>440 nm). The effects of the Bi₂O₃ contents on the photocatalytic activities of the composite powders were examined, the photocatalytic activities increased with the content of Bi₂O₃ increasing to a maximum of 83% and then decreased under visible light irradiation. The effects of the calcination temperatures on the photocatalytic activities of the composite powders were also investigated.     

Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Temperature-dependent Flexibility of Thermophilic Xylose Isomerase

构建了嗜热栖热菌木糖异构酶与底物木糖的复合物模型,并运用NAMD2.5软件对其在300 和360 K下进行了10 ns的分子动力学模拟. 对该酶的回旋半径、亚基间相互作用及残基柔性进行了计算与统计分析,确定了该酶在360 K时柔性残基及区域. 研究发现与300 K相比,360 K时木糖异构酶中B-因子增幅较大的残基主要可分为两组：一组位于催化结构域,是由残基55～80组成的helex-loop-helix区域,另一组位于其亚基界面上. 研究表明高温下该酶催化结构域回旋半径增加,可能加速了活性中心的运动从而有利于D-木糖的异构化反应.在360 K时亚基界面上减少了8个氢键和5个离子对,这可能也是高温下其整体结构刚性下降并且活性升高的主要原因,该结果也对文献报道的该酶E372G突变体冷适应的实验现象进行了解释. 研究结果揭示了嗜热栖热菌木糖异构酶温度和结构柔性之间的关系.     

斜入射脉冲X射线产生电流实验

针对斜入射脉冲X射线与金属的几种可能相互作用机制,设计了实验布局,测量了斜入射X射线在金属靶上产生的脉冲电流,建立了相应的理论模型。结果显示,当X射线入射强度低于105 W/cm2时,以光电效应为主,高于此值时,以热电效应为主导。这表明,X射线加载强度较弱时,电子表现出个体行为,而增大X射线入射强度,电子表现出弱关联集体行为。由此可以预测,超强X射线辐照下,金属表面将出现宏观尺度的电荷密度调制,在退激发过程中,这种调制状态可能以较高的效率辐射定向的微波电磁脉冲。
