Recent temperature increase recorded in an ice core in the source region of Yangtze River

Interests on climate change in the source region of Yangtze River have been raised since it is a region with the greatest warming over the Tibetan Plateau (TP). A 70-year history of precipitation δ~(18)O has been recovered using an ice core record retrieved in a plat portion of the firn area in the Guoqu Glacier (33°34′37.8″N, 91°10′35.3″E, 5720 m a.s.l.), Mt. Geladaindong (the source region of Yangtze River), in November, 2005. By using a significant positive relationship between ice core δ~(18)O record and summer air temperature (July to September) from the nearby meteorological stations, a history of summer air temperature has been reconstructed for the last 70 years. Summer temperature was relatively low in 1940s and high in 1950s to the middle of 1960s. The lowest temperature occurred in the middle of 1970s. Temperature was low in 1980s and dramatically increased since 1990s, keeping the trend to the begin-ning of the 21st century. The warming rate recorded in the ice core with 0.5℃/10 a since 1970s is much higher that that in the central TP and the Northern Hemisphere (NH), and it becomes 1.1℃/10 a since 1990s which is also higher than these from the central TP and the NH, reflecting an accelerated warm-ing and a more sensitive response to global warming in the high elevation region.

氧等离子体对以石墨为碳源合成的CVD金刚石颗粒的影响

采用一种新型的金刚石颗粒制备方法,利用微波辅助化学气相沉积技术,向反应室内通入氢气,以固态石墨片同时作为碳源和衬底沉积金刚石颗粒。利用该方法合成的金刚石颗粒具有微米级尺寸,可用作研磨剂、抛光剂、形核剂等。但是合成的金刚石颗粒中仍含有少量的非晶碳,且合成颗粒的尺寸均匀性有待提高。为解决以上问题,本文中在反应不同阶段(初期、中期及末期)通入氧气,形成氧等离子体;研究氧等离子体对合成的金刚石颗粒形貌、尺寸、质量、纯度的影响,以及随氧等离子体添加阶段不同而产生的不同变化情况。结果表明,经氧等离子体处理的金刚石颗粒形貌略有改变,表面光滑度更好,且金刚石颗粒尺寸的一致性有所提高;经过激光粒度测试发现,金刚石颗粒的尺寸主要集中在25~29μm。添加氧等离子体有助于消除金刚石中的非晶碳,提高金刚石纯度;且在反应初期添加氧等离子体可最大程度提高金刚石颗粒质量。     

N‐(4‐Cyano­phenyl)‐α‐(4‐methoxy­phenyl)­nitro­ne

In the crystal structure of the title compound, 4‐cyano‐N‐(4‐methoxy­benzyl­idene)­phenyl­amine N‐oxide, C₁₅H₁₂N₂O₂, the 4‐methoxy­phenyl is approximately coplanar with the nitrone moiety but significantly rotated with respect to the 4‐cyano­phenyl moiety. The extent of this rotation is significantly different for the two crystallographically independent mol­ecules of the asymmetric unit [dihedral angles of 19.4 (1) and 26.5 (1)°]. The geometry about the C=N bond is Z. The two mol­ecules are related to one another by a pseudo inversion centre.     

Dynamic Visualization of Free Radicals at Single Oxygen Bubbles using Chemiluminescence

The generation of free radicals is a key process in the formation and the collapse of the bubbles in water, however, the direct and dynamic observation of the radicals in this process at single bubbles has never been achieved. Here, the hydroxyl (OH^.) and oxygen (O₂^.−) radicals at single oxygen bubbles are continuously traced using chemiluminescence (CL), in which these radicals at the bubble react with the surrounding luminol in the solution emitting the light. Varied increase trends of luminescence are observed in the generation of a bubble, floating, short parking at the water/air interface and the final explosion, revealing the complexity in the distribution of radicals at the bubble unprecedentedly. Despite more radicals are observed at the bubble generated at a deep position under the water for the stabilization, almost the same amount of radicals are included in the bubbles that is independent on the water pressure during the production of the bubble. This rich information collected from the dynamic study of bubbles illustrates the complicated generation and distribution process of radicals at the bubbles, and will facilitate the understanding of the function about the bubbles.     

Mechanisms for NH3 decomposition on Si(100)-(2 x 1) surface: a quantum chemical cluster model study

In this paper, we present a detailed mechanism for the complete decomposition of NH3 to NHx(a) (x = 0-2). Our calculations show that the initial decomposition of NH3 to NH2(a) and H(a) is facile, with a transition-state energy 7.4 kcal mol-1 below the vacuum level. Further decomposition to N(a) or recombination-desorption to NH3(g) is hindered by a large barrier of approximately 46 kcal mol-1. There are two plausible NH2 decomposition pathways: 1) NH2(a) insertion into the surface Si-Si dimer bond, and 2) NH2(a) insertion into the Si-Si backbond. We find that pathway (1) leads to the formation of a surface Si = N unit, similar to a terminal Si = Nt pair in silicon nitride, Si3N4, while pathway (2) leads to the formation of a near-planar, subsurface Si3N unit, in analogy to a central nitrogen atom (Nc) bounded to three silicon atoms in the Si3N4 environment. Based on these results, a plausible microscopic mechanism for the nitridation of the Si(100)-(2 x 1) surface by NH3 is proposed.     

Deoxyhypusine synthase is phosphorylated by protein kinase C in vivo as well as in vitro

Deoxyhypusine synthase catalyzes the first step in the posttranslational synthesis of an unusual amino acid, hypusine, in the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A (eIF-5A) precursor protein. We earlier observed that yeast recombinant deoxyhypusine synthase was phosphorylated by protein kinase C (PKC) in vitro (Kang and Chung, 1999) and the phosphorylation rate was synergistically increased to a 3.5-fold following treatment with phosphatidylserine (P.Ser)/diacylglycerol (DAG)/ Ca(2+), suggesting a possible involvement of PKC. We have extended study on the phosphorylation of deoxyhypusine synthase in vivo in different cell lines in order to define its role on the regulation of eIF5A in the cell. Deoxyhypusine synthase was found to be phosphorylated by endogenous kinases in CHO, NIH3T3, and chicken embryonic cells. The highest degree of phosphorylation was found in CHO cells. Moreover, phosphorylation of deoxyhypusine synthase in intact CHO cells was revealed and the expression of phosphorylated deoxyhypusine synthase was significantly diminished by diacyl ethylene glycol (DAEG), a PKC inhibitor, and enhanced by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) or Ca(2+)/DAG. Endogenous PKC in CHO cell and cell lysate was able to phosphorylate deoxyhypusine synthase and this modification is enhanced by PMA or Ca(2+) plus DAG. Close association of PKC with deoxyhypusine synthase in the CHO cells was evident in the immune coprecipitation and was PMA-, and Ca(2+)/phospholipid dependent. These results suggest that phosphorylation of deoxyhypusine synthase was PKC-dependent cellular event and open a path for possible regulation in the interaction with eIF5A precursor for hypusine synthesis.
