Solid-phase photocatalytic degradation of polystyrene plastic with TiO2 as photocatalyst

Solid-phase photocatalytic degradation of polystyrene (PS) plastic with TiO₂ as photocatalyst was investigated in the ambient air under ultraviolet light irradiation. Higher weight loss rate, lower average molecular weight, increased carbonyl peak intensity, less volatile organics and more CO₂ emitted with irradiation in PS-TiO₂ composite sample compared to pure PS sample were observed. These facts indicated the higher photodegradation rate of PS-TiO₂ sample than that of PS sample, and emphasized the potential of the composite sample in bring about complete photodegradation of polystyrene plastic. It is implied that the degradation initially occurred over TiO₂ particles, followed by the diffusion reaction with the aid of reactive oxygen species generated on TiO₂ particle surface.     

Fullerenes as a tert-butylperoxy radical trap,metal catalyzed reaction of tert-butyl hydroperoxide with fullerenes,and formation of the first fullerene mixed peroxides C(60)(O)(OO(t)Bu)(4) and C(70)(OO(Bu)(10)

tert-Butylperoxy radicals generated by TBHP and Ru(PPh3)3Cl2 or other catalysts adds to C60 and C70 to form stable multiadducts, C60(O)(OOtBu)4 and C70(OOtBu)10. The four tert-butylperoxy groups in the C60 mixed peroxide are located around a pentagon, and the epoxy O occupies the remaining 6,6-bond connected to the same pentagon. The C70 decaadduct shows an unprecedented C2 symmetry with the 10 tert-butylperoxy groups added around the central part of C70 by consecutive 1,4-addition. The compounds are fully characterized by spectroscopic data.     

Variable pi-bonding in iron(II) porphyrinates with nitrite, CO, and tert-butyl isocyanide: characterization of [Fe(TpivPP)(NO2)(CO)]-

The addition of the strongly pi-bonding ligands CO or tert-butyl isocyanide to the low-spin five-coordinate iron(II) nitrite species [Fe(TpivPP)(NO2)]- (TpivPP = picket fence porphyrin) gives two new six-coordinate species [Fe(TpivPP)(NO2)(CO)]- and [Fe(TpivPP)(NO2)(t-BuNC)]-. These species have been characterized by single-crystal structure determinations and by UV-vis, IR, and M?ssbauer spectroscopies. All evidence shows that in the mixed-ligand iron(II) porphyrin species, [Fe(TpivPP)(NO2)(CO)]-, the two trans, pi-accepting ligands CO and nitrite compete for pi density. The CO ligand however dominates the bonding. The Fe-N(NO2) bond lengths for the two independent anions in the unit cell at 2.006(4) and 2.009(4) A are lengthened compared to other nitrite species with either no trans ligands or non-pi-accepting trans ligands to nitrite. The Fe-C(CO) bond lengths are 1.782(4) A and 1.789(5) A for the two anions. The two Fe-C-O angles at 175.5(4) and 177.5(4) degrees are essentially linear in both anions. The quadrupole splitting for [Fe(TpivPP)(NO2)(CO)]- was determined to be 0.32 mm/s, and the isomer shift was 0.18 mm/s at room temperature in zero applied field. Both of the M?ssbauer parameters are much smaller than those found for six-coordinate low-spin iron(II) porphyrinates with neutral nitrogen-donating ligands as well as iron(II) nitro complexes. However, the M?ssbauer parameters are typical of other six-coordinate CO porphyrinates signifying that CO is the more dominant ligand. The CO stretching frequency of 1974 cm(-1) is shifted only slightly to higher energy compared to six-coordinate CO complexes with neutral nitrogen-donor ligands trans to CO.

Microcalorimetric Evaluation of the Effect of Kanamycin： An Analysis Based on the Median-Effect Principle

A study of the effect of drug, kanamycin, on the growth metabolism of recombinant Escherichia coli B 1 was carded out by microcalorimeter monitoring of the metabolic activity of treated cells. Power-time curves of growing recombinant Escherichia coli cell suspensions, treated with different kanamycin doses, were recorded. The extent of the effect was evaluated by changes in the slopes of the microcalorimetric curves and the kinetics of the drug action was interpreted from the time at which these changes reached their maximum values and maintained their maximum values. Experimental dose-effect relationships conform to the median-effect principle of the mass-action law： fa/（1-fa）=（D/D50）^m. A plot of y=lg[（fa）^1-1]^-1 versus x=lg D gives the slope m, D50 and R∞. The experimental results revealed that high concentration of kanamycin had an inhibitory effect on the growth of recombinant Escherichia coli B 1 in the lg phase, and had a promoting effect in the stationary period. Moreover, it was demonstrated that microcalorimetry was a reliable method for the detection of modulatory effects in biology.

Carrier ampholyte-free solution isoelectric focusing as a prefractionation method for the proteomic analysis of complex protein mixtures

The field of proteomics requires methods that offer high sensitivity and wide dynamic range. One of the strategies used to improve the dynamic range is sample prefractionation, such as microsolution isoelectric focusing (IEF). We have modified a commercial solution IEF instrument, the Rotofor, to prefractionate protein mixtures by carrier ampholyte-free solution IEF. The focusing chamber of the Rotofor was divided into several compartments by polyacrylamide membranes with imbedded Immobiline mixtures of specific pH values. When an electric field is applied, each protein migrates to the compartment confined by membranes with pH values flanking its isoelectric point. The approach was demonstrated for the focusing of myoglobin into a predicted compartment, as well as the separation of a complex soluble yeast protein mixture into several distinct fractions. The proteins were dissolved in water or 30% isopropanol. The method is applicable to both gel-based and solution-phase protein identification methods, without the need for further sample preparation.

Multicast Flow Aggregation in IP over Optical Networks

It is widely believed that IP over optical networks will be a major component of the next generation Internet However, it is not efficient to map a single multicast IP flow into one light-tree, since the bandwidth of an IP flow required is usually much less than that of a light-tree. In this paper, we study the problem of multicast flow aggregation (MFA) in the IP over optical two-layered networks under the overlay model, which can be defined as follows: given a set of head ends (i.e. optical multicasting sources), each of which can provide a set of contents (i.e. multicast IP flows) with different required transmission bandwidth, and a set of requested content at the access routers (i.e. optical multicasting destinations), find a set of light-trees as well as the optimal aggregation of multicast IP flows in each light-tree. We model MFA by a tri-partite graph with multiple criteria and show that the problem is NP-complete. Optimal solutions are designed by exploiting MFA to formulate an integer linear programming (ILP), with two parameters: the multicast receiving index alpha and the redundant transmitting index beta. We also propose a heuristic algorithm. Finally, we compare the performance of MFA for different combination of alpha and beta via experiments and show our heuristic algorithm is effective for large-scale network in numerical results
