Synergistic film-forming effect of oligo(ethylene oxide)-functionalized trimethoxysilane and propylene carbonate electrolytes on graphite anode

Oligo(ethylene oxide)-functionalized trialkoxysilanes can be used as novel electrolytes for high-voltage cathode, such as LiCoO₂ (4.35 V) and Li_1.2Ni_0.2Mn_0.6O₂ (4.6 V); however, they are not well compatible with graphite anode. In this study, a synergistic solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film-forming effect between [3-[2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy]propyl]-trimethoxysilane (TMSM2) and propylene carbonate (PC) on graphite electrode was investigated. Excellent SEI film-forming capability and cycling performance was observed in graphite/Li cells using the electrolyte of 1 M LiPF₆ in the binary solvent of TMSM2 and PC, with the PC content in the range of 10–30 vol.%. Meanwhile, the graphite/Li cells delivered higher specific capacity and better capacity retention in the electrolyte of 1 M LiPF₆ in TMSM2 and PC (TMSM2:PC = 9:1, by vol.), compared with those in the electrolyte of 1 M LiPF₆ in TMSM2 and EC (TMSM2:EC = 9:1, by vol.). The synergistic SEI film-forming properties of TMSM2 and PC on the surface of graphite anode was characterized by electrolyte solution structure analysis through Raman spectroscopy and surface analysis detected by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) analysis.     

Aqueous germanate solution,alternative sol–gel precursor for preparation of Mn<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis></Subscript>Ge<Subscript>1−<Emphasis Type="Italic">x</Emphasis></Subscript> diluted magnetic semiconductors

The solids content and gelation time of aqueous germanate solution were examined in this work. Samples of 5, 10 and 20 mol% Mn doped Ge were prepared by using the aqueous germanate solution as a liquid Ge precursor. No second phase such as Mn₅Ge₃ was detected in the 5 and 10 mol% Mn doped samples, implying that Mn ions were uniformly diluted into the Ge host matrix. The 5 and 10 mol% Mn-doped Ge samples exhibit room-temperature ferromagnetic behaviors that are likely originated from the RKKY (Ruderman–Kittel–Kasuya–Yosida)-like interaction between the localized Mn ions in the Ge matrix. Therefore, the aqueous germanate solution can be an alternative sol–gel precursor for preparation of the Mn _x Ge_1−x diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs).     

Analysis of multiplex PCR fragments with PMMA microchip

Microchip electrophoresis is a promising technique for analysis of bio-molecules. It has the advantages of fast analysis, high sensitivity, high resolution and low-cost of samples. Plastic chip has the potential of mass production for clinical use for its advantages in biocompatibility and low cost. In this work, the method for fabrication of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) chip was described, and conditions for DNA separation were investigated with the chip. The PMMA microchip was used for detection of multiplex PCR products of 18 and 36 cases with SARS and hepatitis B virus infection under optimized separation conditions. Microchip electrophoresis showed higher sensitivity, higher resolution and less time consumption when compared with gel electrophoresis. The microchip electrophoresis with PMMA chip provided a rapid, sensitive and reliable method for analysis of multiplex PCR products.     

Stereoselective hydroxycarbonylation of vinyl bromides to alpha,beta-unsaturated carboxylic acids in the ionic liquid [BMIM]PF6

(E/Z)-isomers containing vinyl bromides were stereoselectively carbonylated to the corresponding (E)-alpha,beta-ethylenic carboxylic acids in the ionic liquid [BMIM]PF6. Vinyl dibromides also underwent hydroxycarbonylation to give monoacids. The products are pure by proton NMR spectroscopic determination without purification by silica gel column chromatography or recrystallization.     

关于混合模式色谱固定相对蛋白保留特征的研究

为使混合机理色谱(MMC)得到广泛地应用, 合成、表征和评价MMC固定相就成了首先要解决的问题. 依据离子交换色谱柱也具有疏水色谱(HIC)保留机理的特征, 选了4种弱阳离子交换(WCX)柱和一根二维[2D(WCX,HIC)]色谱柱, 研究了标准蛋白在这两类色谱柱上的保留行为. 这四种WCX色谱柱中的两种能在WCX和HIC两种分离模式下分离蛋白, 虽不如2D色谱柱效果好, 但有可能当成“准2D柱”来使用. 发现蛋白在这四种WCX柱上所显示的HIC分离特征各不相同, 且保留值随盐浓度变化呈现出的“U型”曲线也有大的差异. 实验结果显示, “U型”曲线的宽度和临界点分别与色谱动力学和热力学因素相关. 还对这两类色谱固定相的峰容量表征方法和命名提出了建议和说明.

Reaction characteristics of andrographolide and its analogue AL-1 with GSH, as a simple chemical simulation of NF-κB inhibition

14-α-Lipoic acid-3,19-dihydroxyandrographolide (AL-1, 2) is an analogue of andrographolide (Andro, 1) coupled to α-lipoic acid (LA, 4). AL-1 was at least 10-fold more potent than the natural parent compound Andro in inhibiting nuclear factor (NF)-κB activation in RIN-m cells. In the present study, glutathione (GSH, 3) was used as a simple chemical model molecule of NF-κB with cysteine 62. The characteristics of the reaction between AL-1 or Andro and GSH were investigated to trace some possible elucidation for the inhibitive mechanism and stronger inhibition of AL-1 to NF-κB activation. The results showed that the main reaction products of AL-1 and Andro were identical, sulfhydryl adduct and amino adduct. AL-1 reacted much faster than Andro with GSH. The product yield of AL-1 was much higher than that of Andro. It was speculated that AL-1 might inhibit NF-κB by the same mechanism as Andro. And the faster reaction rate and higher yield may account for the stronger NF-κB inhibition of AL-1 when compared with Andro.     

图的预解Estrada指标的界的估计（英文）

n阶图G的子图中心度,即后来著名的Estrada指标定义为EE（G）=∑_（i=1）~N e~（λ2）.其中λ_1,λ_2……λ_n为图G的特征值.作为复杂网络的一种中心性测度和一种分子结构描述符,Estrada指标在许多研究领域有着广泛的应用.最近,Estrada和High-ama引进了一种新的复杂网络中心度,即∑_（i=1）~n n-1n-1λ_i：他们称之为预解中心度,后来又被称为预解Estrada指标.本文主要利用图G的顶点数和边数给出了图G的预解Estrada指标的若干界.     

Stochastic damage model for concrete based on energy equivalent strain

Starting with the framework of conventional elastoplastic damage mechanics, a class of stochastic damage constitutive model is derived based on the concept of energy equivalent strain. The stochastic damage model derived from the parallel element model is adopted to develop the uniaxial damage evolution function. Based on the expressions of damage energy release rates (DERRs) conjugated to the damage variables thermodynamically, the concept and its tensor formulations of energy equivalent strain is proposed to bridge the gap between the uniaxial and the multiaxial constitutive models. Furthermore, a simplified coupling model is proposed to consider the evolution of plastic strain. And the analytical expressions of the constitutive model in 2-D are established from the abstract tensor expression. Several numerical simulations are presented against the biaxial loading test results of concrete, demonstrating that the proposed models can reflect the salient features for concrete under uniaxial and biaxial loading conditions.
