Investigating bottom-quark Yukawa interaction at Higgs factory

Measuring the fermion Yukawa coupling constants is important for understanding the origin of the fermion masses and their relationship with spontaneously electroweak symmetry breaking.In contrast,some new physics(NP)models change the Lorentz structure of the Yukawa interactions between standard model(SM)fermions and the SM-like Higgs boson,even in their decoupling limit.Thus,the precise measurement of the fermion Yukawa interactions is a powerful tool of NP searching in the decoupling limit.In this work,we show the possibility of investigating the Lorentz structure of the bottom-quark Yukawa interaction with the 125 GeV SM-like Higgs boson for future e^+e^- colliders.

Fluorescence properties of novel rare earth complexes using carboxyl-containing polyaryletherketones as macromolecular ligands

The fluorescence properties of a series of rare earth (Re³⁺ = Eu³⁺, Tb³⁺) polymeric complexes (PEK-Re³⁺-HLs) using three high-T_g novel carboxyl-containing polyaryletherketones (PEK) as macromolecular ligands and small molecules (HL) such as 1,10-phenanthroline (Phen), dibenzoylmethane (DBM) and 8-hydroxyquinoline (HQ) as co-ligands were investigated by means of fluorescence excitation and emission spectroscopy as well as fluorescence lifetime measurement methods. Among them, PEK-1-Re³⁺-Phens, in which the Re³⁺ ions were coordinated simultaneously with Phen and PEK-1 containing both carboxyl and bulky isopropyl groups on the polymer backbone, exhibited strong fluorescence intensities, long lifetimes, and good film-formation properties. The smooth films of PEK-1-Eu³⁺-Phen and PEK-1-Tb³⁺-Phen, cast from their DMF solutions, could emit bright red and green light under the UV lamp of 365 nm, respectively, which characteristics are of great significance for their potential applications in the large area display material fields. The excellent fluorescence properties of complexes in this study were attributed to the synergistic effects of PEK-1 ligand and Phen co-ligand. Especially, the rigid twisted structure and the bulky isopropyl substituents on PEK-1 backbone forced the coordinated rare earth ion moieties apart, and thus the probability of non-radiative decay rate of Re³⁺ ions at the excited levels were decreased to a large extent.     

Morphine-induced conditioned place preference in mice: Metabolomic profiling of brain tissue to find “molecular switch” of drug abuse by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry

Conditioned place preference (CPP) is a widely used model to explore the mechanism of context-dependent learning. In this work, we developed a GC–MS method to investigate the metabolites in mice brain which was used to study the mechanism of context-dependent learning associated with rewarding effect of morphine. Metabolites were extracted from brain tissues and derivatized followed by analysis by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC–MS). In total, 69 peaks were identified as known compounds. By a Wilcoxon ran sum test with p value ≤0.05, 21 metabolites were selected and considered as the potential biomarkers of morphine in mice brain. Using principal component analysis (PCA) and receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) curves, a model was constructed with a combination of these 21 metabolic markers. Multivariate statistics of the model yielded separation between the two groups with an area under the curve value of 0.947. Some metabolites were further discussed in detail about their pathway. Results showed that our technique can be successfully applied to profile for biomarkers and in understanding molecular mechanisms of drug abuse.     

HPLC-MS/MS enantioseparation of triazole fungicides using polysaccharide-based stationary phases

The enantiomeric separation of 21 triazole fungicides was carried out on four polysaccharide-derived chiral stationary phases in the reversed phase separation mode using high performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. All fungicides were detected in electrospray ionization (ESI) positive mode with selected reaction monitoring (SRM). Complete enantioseparation was achieved for 21 fungicides except for difenoconazole based on cellulose tris (3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) and cellulose tris (3-chloro-4-methylphenyl carbamate) columns by optimizing experimental conditions including mobile phase and column temperature. Mobile phase was 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution mixed with methanol or acetonitrile in different proportions. Among all the fungicides, 15 with two enantiomers and three with four stereoisomers (bitertanol, bromuconazole, and cyproconazole) were successfully separated at 25°C. Enantioseparation for the other three fungicides (propiconazole, triadimenol, and difenoconazole) with four stereoisomers could be achieved by changing the column temperature from 10 to 40°C. Propiconazole and triadimenol were enantioseparated on baseline at 40 and at 35°C, respectively, and difenoconazole was enantioseparated partially with the R(s) > 1.1 at 25°C. Moreover, linearities and limits of detection (LODs) of 21 fungicides except for difenoconazole were studied, showing coefficients of determination (R(2)) higher than 0.99 and LODs lower than 2.5 μg/L.     

Pd–Co bimetallic nanoparticles supported on graphene as a highly active catalyst for Suzuki–Miyaura and Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions

Graphene (G) supported Pd–Co bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) as a highly active catalyst was prepared by a chemical reduction method and used for coupling reactions. With the characterization of X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and Raman spectrum, the composition of resulting Pd–Co material was identified to be alloy structural. The Pd–Co (1:1)/G exhibited the highest catalytic activity for the Sonogashira-type coupling reactions and also exerted satisfied catalytic activity and recycle stability for Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions. This Pd–Co/G material also possessed other advantages such as low-cost, easy recycled from reaction system by a magnet for their magnetic property, and easy experimental handling.
