Different crystal structures and luminescent properties of zinc and cadmium coordination polymers constructed from two flexible thioether ligands with different alkyl chains

Treatments of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic dithioether ligands, 1,2-bis(4-(pyridin-3-yl) pyrimidin-2-ylthio) ethane (L¹) and 1,3-bis (4-(pyridin-3-yl) pyrimidin-2-ylthio) propane (L²), with zinc or cadmium salts have resulted in the interesting frameworks with structural motifs from a mononuclear macrocycle or a dinuclear macrocycle to an one-dimensional structure. A small difference of the alkyl length between L¹ and L² led to conspicuous changes of the fluorescent properties of both ligands and their complexes. Mainly due to the size of metal atoms, structures of [ZnL²I₂] (1) and [CdL²I₂] (2) are varied from a mononuclear macrocycle to a 1D framework, while {[ZnL²(H₂O)₄](ClO₄)₂}₂ (3) and {[CdL²(H₂O)₄](ClO₄)₂}₂ (4) are dinuclear macrocycles in which perchlorate anions may play an important template role. As for complexes 5–8 ([ZnL¹I₂]_n (5), [CdL¹I₂]_n (6), {{[ZnL¹₂(H₂O)₄](ClO₄)₂}_0.5 · L¹_0.5 · CH₃OH} (7), {{[Cd_0.5L¹(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)}₂ · CH₃OH · L¹} (8)), the self-assemble processes were mainly directed by the organic ligand in the reactions of L¹ with metal salts. Complexes 1–4 exhibit blue fluorescence emissions, among which 1 and 2 may be suitable as candidates for blue fluorescent materials.     

Activation of PPAR�� induces profound multilocularization of adipocytes in adult mouse white adipose tissues

We sought to determine the effects of activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) on multilocularization of adipocytes in adult white adipose tissue (WAT). Male C57BL/6 normal, db/db, and ob/ob mice were treated with agonists of PPAR-γ, PPAR-α, or β₃-adrenoceptor for 3 weeks. To distinguish multilocular adipocytes from unilocular adipocytes, whole-mounted adipose tissues were co-immunostained for perilipin and collagen IV. PPAR-γ activation with rosiglitazone or pioglitazone induced a profound change of unilocular adipocytes into smaller, multilocular adipocytes in adult WAT in a time-dependent, dose-dependent, and reversible manner. PPAR-α activation with fenofibrate did not affect the number of locules or remodeling. db/db and ob/ob obese mice exhibited less multilocularization in response to PPAR-γ activation compared to normal mice. Nevertheless, all adipocytes activated by PPAR-γ contained a single nucleus regardless of locule number. Multilocular adipocytes induced by PPAR-γ activation contained substantially increased mitochondrial content and enhanced expression of uncoupling protein-1, PPAR-γ coactivator-1-α , and perilipin. Taken together, PPAR-γ activation induces profound multilocularization and enhanced mitochondrial biogenesis in the adipocytes of adult WAT. These changes may affect the overall function of WAT.     

基于独立分量分析的运动目标检测

针对阈值比较法对环境适应能力弱,基于独立分量分析(ICA)原理提出了一种新的检测方法.首先将图像作为观测矢量,根据主次分量组合关系修改观测矢量,然后利用矩阵分离运算分割出运动区域.观测矢量的修改是在相邻两帧间进行重组和拓展,以达到突显运动和抑制噪声的目的.该方法的优势在于无阈值限制,自适应地分割运动区域,能适应较为复杂的背景环境,且处理速度满足实时性要求.实验结果验证了方法的有效性与鲁棒性.     

Applications of Calixarenes in Polymer Synthesis

Summary: The applications of calixarenes in polymer synthesis have been reviewed. Calixarenes have been used as ligands to prepare rare earth calixarene complexes. A series of rare earth calixarene complexes have been synthesized and employed as efficient catalysts for the polymerization of ethylene, styrene, butadiene, propylene oxide, styrene oxide, trimethylene carbonate, and 5,5-dimethyl trimethylene carbonate. On the other hand, the synthesis and characterization of star-shaped polymers with calixarene as core molecules are also described.     

复合材料层合板静压痕接触的等效弹性模量

在复合材料层合板静压痕接触问题中,由于层合板接触区域的纤维走向发生了变化,导致沿厚度方向的弹性模量产生变化并随着凹坑深度的增加而增大。本文建立压头压入后的力学分析模型,得到了与凹坑深度相关的沿厚度方向的等效弹性模量;将等效弹性模量代入目前被广泛接受的修正Hertz接触理论,建立了新的接触力与凹坑深度的关系式。通过与静压痕试验中接触力和凹坑深度的关系进行比较,结果表明该接触关系式能较好地描述接触力和凹坑深度的关系。与文献修正理论相比,在压痕较小时,本文的修正结果较好。

基于Monte Carlo方法,跟踪一大批入射粒子的运动,模拟1~10 Me V质子辐照下质子与CuCrZr合金的相互作用,计算出合金的阻止本领、能量传递、能量损失、射程、空位分布情况以及合金的辐照损伤分别与辐照深度、质子能量的关系,通过模拟CuCrZr合金在聚变反应中的工作环境,分析热沉材料的失效机理.研究结果表明:质子能量在1~10 Me V时,质子与CuCrZr合金发生非弹性碰撞,能量损失以电离能损失为主,表现出很好的抗辐照性能;质子在合金中的峰值深度随质子能量增加而增加,且近似指数关系,峰值深度为2~250μm;入射质子能量达到Me V级别时,溅射产额为零,CuCrZr合金可以很好的避免器壁的侵蚀;合金中空位的个数与入射质子能量呈线性关系,合金中空位和质子在合金中的分布具有同步性;质子损伤效率在合金深度方向呈现高斯分布,损伤最大值位置与辐照深度接近,随着入射质子能量的增加损伤效率最大值不断减小.     

A 457-year reconstruction of precipitation in the southeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China using tree-ring records

This paper presents a 457-year reconstruction of precipitation in the southeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau using tree-ring records.Tree-ring samples were collected from the Hengduan Mountains in the southeastern part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau,China.A nearly 500-year chronology was developed using tree-ring width records.Correlation analysis shows moisture is the main factor limiting tree growth in this region.Ring-widths were significantly positively correlated with the Palmer Drought Severity Index(PDSI) and precipitation in many months.The highest correlation coefficient was found between the annual growth of trees and precipitation from the previous September to the current June(0.738).Based on this relationship,we reconstructed the precipitation history from 1509 to 2006.The reconstruction explains 54.4%(Radj2=53.5%,N=49,F=56.12) of the actual precipitation variation during the calibration period(1958-2006).During the reliable period of the reconstruction(1549-2006),some low-frequency climate signals are included,indicating this region has been getting wetter in the last 20 years.The reconstruction documents six apparently dry and five pluvial periods and the 17th century dry period lasted longer than any other.When compared with other recent studies,this study and these earlier reconstructions show a similar trend in the variation of drought and pluvial.Further spatial correlation analysis confirms that the reconstructed precipitation adequately represents the rainfall history of the entire Hengduan Mountain area.The Multi-taper method,a type of spectral analysis,reveals that precipitation in this area had significant(P<0.01) spectral peaks at 3-5 a,60 a and 79-85 a.
