Analytical expressions for the correlation function of a hard sphere dimer fluid

A closed form expression is given for the correlation function of a hard sphere dimer fluid. A set of integral equations is obtained from Wertheim's multidensity Ornstein-Zernike integral equation theory with Percus-Yevick approximation. Applying the Laplace transformation method to the integral equations and then solving the resulting equations algebraically, the Laplace transforms of the individual correlation functions are obtained. By the inverse Laplace transformation, the radial distribution function (RDF) is obtained in closed form out to 3D (D is the segment diameter). The analytical expression for the RDF of the hard dimer should be useful in developing the perturbation theory of dimer fluids.     

Adsorption isotherm of a Lennard-Jones nitrogen in a carbon slitlike pore

A density functional perturbation approximation based both on second-order perturbation theory and on the pore average density has been proposed to study the adsorption hysteresis of nitrogen in a carbon slit pore. The main advantage of the present approximation is that it is computationally much simpler than the original density functional approximation based on the second-order perturbation theory of liquids, and can be applied to several model fluids confined in a strong external field in order to study their structural and thermodynamic properties. The calculated adsorption hysteresis for the confined Lennard-Jones nitrogen is in very good agreement with computer simulation, even if its accuracy slightly deteriorates for the desorption branch. The calculated equilibrium particle density distributions also compare well with computer simulations, and are better than those of a density functional theory based on the so-called mean-field approximation.     

沙粒粒径在水平水流中对湍流调制及减阻效应的影响作用

运用基于欧拉-欧拉方法的混合欧拉多相流模型结合雷诺应力湍流模型,对较大雷诺数下的水平固液两相湍流进行了数值计算,主要考察了以Kolmogorov尺度(约为2v/ur)为临界值的细小沙粒颗粒在5％的固相体积分数下对湍流场的调制及其减阻效应.研究发现,无量纲颗粒直径dp+≤2的小颗粒减小了固液两相湍流的雷诺应力,并且三个方向上的速度脉动也被不同程度地削弱;而dp+=4的大颗粒使缓冲层区域的雷诺应力稍增大,在增强法向速度脉动的同时对流向脉动有抑制作用,并且值得关注的是,较大颗粒的存在导致缓冲层中的部分区域出现了流变现象.在减阻方面,较小的颗粒(dp+≤2)有大致相同的减阻表现,而大颗粒(dp+=4)已经失去了减阻性能,总体上看,在所研究的情形下微颗粒的减阻性能随着其粒径的增大而降低.

Highly Concise Synthesis of 3'-"Up"-ethynyl-5'-methylbicyclo-[3.1.0]-hexyl Purine and Pyrimidine Nucleoside Derivatives Using Rhodium(II) Carbenoid Cycloaddition and Highly Diastereoselective Grignard Reaction

Synthesis of north‐5'‐methylbicyclo[3.1.0]hexyl purine and pyrimidine nucleosides with an ethynyl group at C‐3' position has been successfully accomplished by a facile method. Methylbicyclo[3.1.0]hexanone (±)‐ 5 having three contiguous chiral centers was remarkably simply constructed only by four steps containing a carbenoid insertion reaction in the presence of rhodium(II) acetate dimer and CuSO₄, giving a correct relative stereochemistry of the generated three chiral centers. Upon Grignard reaction of (±)‐ 5 with ethynylmagnesium bromide, exclusive diastereoselectivity was observed. Condensation of glycosyl donor (±)‐ 9 with purine nucleobase afforded only the desired N⁹‐alkylated nucleoside, while condensation with pyrimidine, N³‐benzoylated uracil gave the desired N¹‐alkylated nucleoside (±)‐ 13 with the undesired O²‐alkylated nucleoside (±)‐ 14 . Probably, (±)‐ 14 would be formed due to steric hindrance caused upon approaching for N¹‐alkylation.

Atomic Diffusion in Cu/Si （111） and Cu/SiO2/Si （111） Systems by Neutral Cluster Beam Deposition

The Cu films are deposited on two kinds of p-type Si （111） substrates by ionized duster beam （ICB） technique. The interface reaction and atomic diffusion of Cu/Si （111） and Cu/SiO2/Si （111） systems are studied at different annealing temperatures by x-ray diffraction （XRD） and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry （RBS）. Some significant results are obtained： For the Cu/Si （111） samples prepared by neutral dusters, the interdiffusion of Cu and Si atoms occurs when annealed at 230℃. The diffusion coefficients of the samples annealed at 230℃ and 500℃ are 8.5 ×10^-15 cm^2.s^-1 and 3.0 ×10^-14 cm^2.s^-1, respectively. The formation of the copper-silicide phase is observed by XRD, and its intensity becomes stronger with the increase of annealing temperature. For the Cu/SiO2//Si （111） samples prepared by neutral dusters, the interdiffusion of Cu and Si atoms occurs and copper silicides are formed when annealed at 450℃. The diffusion coefficients of Cu in Si are calculated to be 6.0 ×10^-16 cm^2.s^-1 at 450℃, due to the fact that the existence of the SiO2 layer suppresses the interdiffusion of Cu and Si.     

Direct Observation of Tunnelling through 100-nm-Wide All Metal Magnetic Junction into Si

Nanoscaled spin-dependent tunnelling lines were patterned on doped Si and studied for tunnelling from the SDT ferromagnetic layer through an insulating barrier into Si. The injection contacts have the form of long strips with width and separation, ranging from 100 nm to 2 μm, and are patterned using e-beam lithography. The measured I-V characteristics versus temperature （80 to 300K） on the 100 nm scaled devices between the layered-magnetic metals and the semiconductor clearly showed ballistic tunnelling, with weak dependence on the temperature. This is qualitatively different, at elevated temperatures, from 2-μm-wide scaled-up spin-dependent tunnelling structures, where thermal-ionic emission was observed to dominate carrier transport.     

Caragana rosea Turcz Methanol Extract Inhibits Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Inflammatory Responses by Suppressing the TLR4/NF-κB/IRF3 Signaling Pathways

Caragana rosea Turcz, which belongs to the Leguminosae family, is a small shrub found in Northern and Eastern China that is known to possess anti-inflammatory properties and is used to treat fever, asthma, and cough. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of its anti-inflammatory effects are unknown. Therefore, we used lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in RAW264.7 macrophages to investigate the molecular mechanisms that underlie the anti-inflammatory activities of a methanol extract of Caragana rosea (Cr-ME). We showed that Cr-ME reduced the production of nitric oxide (NO) and mRNA levels of iNOS, TNF-α, and IL-6 in a concentration-dependent manner. We also found that Cr-ME blocked MyD88- and TBK1-induced NF-κB and IRF3 promoter activity, suggesting that it affects multiple targets. Moreover, Cr-ME reduced the phosphorylation levels of IκBα, IKKα/β and IRF3 in a time-dependent manner and regulated the upstream NF-κB proteins Syk and Src, and the IRF3 protein TBK1. Upon overexpression of Src and TBK1, Cr-ME stimulation attenuated the phosphorylation of the NF-κB subunits p50 and p65 and IRF3 signaling. Together, our results suggest that the anti-inflammatory activity of Cr-ME occurs by inhibiting the NF-κB and IRF3 signaling pathways.
