Preparative separation of anti‐oxidative constituents from Rubia cordifolia by column‐switching counter‐current chromatography

An effective column‐switching counter‐current chromatography (CCC) protocol combining stepwise elution mode was successfully developed for simultaneous and preparative separation of anti‐oxidative components from ethyl acetate extract of traditional Chinese herbal medicine Rubia cordifolia. The column‐switching CCC system was interfaced by a commercial low‐pressure six‐port switching valve equipped with a sample loop, allowing large volume introduction from the first dimension (1^st‐D) to the second dimension (2^nd‐D). Moreover, to extend the polarity window, three biphasic liquid systems composed of n‐hexane/ethyl acetate/methanol/water (1:2:1:2, 2:3:2:3, 5:6:5:6 v/v) were employed using stepwise elution mode in the 1^st‐D. By valve switching technique the whole interested region of 1^st‐D could be introduced to second dimension for further separation with the solvent system 5:5:4:6 v/v. Using the present column‐switching CCC protocol, 500 mg of crude R. cordifolia extract were separated, producing milligram‐amounts of four anti‐oxidative components over 90% pure. Structures of purified compounds were identified by ¹H and ¹³C NMR.

应用有效信息比率的离散化算法

针对目前离散化信息量度无法准确表征数据离散后有效分类信息量的问题,提出了一种基于有效信息比率的离散化算法.在构建离散化方案相依表的基础上,分析了离散区间内类属性分布与分类信息蕴含量间的关系,并根据类属性分布信息引入有效信息比率,用于表征各离散区间内有效分类信息量.然后,依据离散化方案的离散区间数及其有效信息比率,设计出表征离散化方案划分质量的离散化评价指标,从而提高了数据的离散化效果.仿真实验和实际应用的结果表明,该算法离散化后在有效分类信息量和分类预测精度上高于主流基于信息论的离散化算法.

基于多目标准则的流域站网优化

对于流域站网空间布局不合理(含有大量冗余站点及监测空白区等)的问题,基于美国伊利洛伊斯河下游流域27个站点4年的日均径流量数据,以站网中联合熵最大、冗余度最小且数据波动最小3个准则,构建了联合熵比、冗余度比和纳什效率系数(NSE) 3个目标函数对站网的信息量进行定量评估。约简流域冗余站点构成初步优化站点组合,并根据出水口得到的潜在站点确定流域需要新增的站点。结果表明:在原站网的基础上选出11个站点构成初步优化站点组合,其联合熵与原站网相等,冗余度减少74. 2%;在初步优化站点组合基础上新增3个站点,联合熵和冗余度分别增加37. 1%和22. 3%;与原站网相比,优化后的站点数量为14个,联合熵增加了37. 1%,冗余度减少了68. 5%。     

Graphene quantum dots combined with copper(II) ions as a fluorescent probe for turn-on detection of sulfide ions

A fluorescent probe for the sensitive and selective determination of sulfide ions is presented. It is based on the use of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) which emit strong and stable blue fluorescence even at high ionic strength. Copper(II) ions cause aggregation of the GQDs and thereby quench fluorescence. The GQDs-Cu(II) aggregates can be dissociated by adding sulfide ions, and this results in fluorescence turn on. The change of fluorescence intensity is proportional to the concentration of sulfide ions. Under optimal conditions, the increase in fluorescence intensity on addition of sulfide ions is linearly related (r ² = 0.9943) to the concentration of sulfide ions in the range from 0.20 to 20 μM, and the limit of detection is 0.10 μM (at 3 σ/s). The fluorescent probe is highly selective for sulfide ions over some potentially interfering ions. The method was successfully applied to the determination of sulfide ions in real water samples and gave recoveries between 103.0 and 113.0 %.

Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) emit strong blue fluorescence which, however, is quenched by copper(II) ions due to the formation of GQDs-Cu(II) aggregates. Fluorescence is recovered by sulfide ions due to the dissociation of GQDs-Cu(II) aggregates.

     

Highly Diastereo‐ and Enantioselective Michael Addition of Nitroalkanes to 2‐Enoyl‐Pyridine N‐Oxides Catalyzed by Scandium(III)/Copper(II) Complexes

A C₂‐symmetric Schiff‐base ligand, derived from tridentate‐Schiff‐base, was developed and successfully applied to the asymmetric Michael addition of nitroalkanes to 2‐enoyl‐pyridine N‐oxides. With this newly catalytic system, an unprecedented diastereoselectivity was obtained in the asymmetric Michael addition of nitroalkanes to 2‐enoyl‐pyridine N‐oxides. In addition, a switch in enantioselectivity was achieved by using this newly catalytic system and our previous catalyst. After a facile reduction, the optically active adduct was converted to a biologically active dihydro‐2H‐pyrrol 4 a . Furthermore, a connection of two tridentate‐Schiff‐base subunits proved to be an effective strategy in ligand design.     

Effect of vapor condensation on forced convection heat transfer of moistened gas

The forced convection heat transfer with water vapor condensation is studied both theoretically and experimentally when wet flue gas passes downwards through a bank of horizontal tubes. Extraordinarily, discussions are concentrated on the effect of water vapor condensation on forced convection heat transfer. In the experiments, the air–steam mixture is used to simulate the flue gas of a natural gas fired boiler, and the vapor mass fraction ranges from 3.2 to 12.8%. By theoretical analysis, a new dimensionless number defined as augmentation factor is derived to account for the effect of condensation of relatively small amount of water vapor on convection heat transfer, and a consequent correlation is proposed based on the experimental data to describe the combined convection–condensation heat transfer. Good agreement can be found between the values of the Nusselt number obtained from the experiments and calculated by the correlation. The maximum deviation is within ±6%. The experimental results also shows that the convection–condensation heat transfer coefficient increases with Reynolds number and bulk vapor mass fraction, and is 1∼3.5 times that of the forced convection without condensation.
