Nafion covered core–shell structured Fe3O4@graphene nanospheres modified electrode for highly selective detection of dopamine

Nafion covered core–shell structured Fe₃O₄@graphene nanospheres (GNs) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was successfully prepared and used for selective detection dopamine. Firstly, the characterizations of hydro-thermal synthesized Fe₃O₄@GNs were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Raman spectroscopy. Then Fe₃O₄@GNs/Nafion modified electrode exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity toward the oxidations of dopamine (DA). The interference test showed that the coexisted ascorbic acid (AA) and uric acid (UA) had no electrochemical interference toward DA. Under the optimum conditions, the broad linear relationship was obtained in the experimental concentration from 0.020 μM to 130.0 μM with the detection limit (S/N = 3) of 0.007 μM. Furthermore, the core–shell structured Fe₃O₄@GNs/Nafion/GCE was applied to the determination of DA in real samples and satisfactory results were got, which could provide a promising platform to develop excellent biosensor for detecting DA.     

DNA的滚环扩增合成研究

滚环扩增(RCA)反应作为一种简单高效的等温酶促反应,现已发展为核酸扩增领域的新技术,其产物在组装体搭建和多功能材料的制备方面有着广泛的应用。本文采用琼脂糖凝胶、紫外和透射电镜(TEM)等手段,探究了时间、三磷酸脱氧核糖核苷(dNTPs)、酶以及引物的浓度等因素对脱氧核糖核酸(DNA)滚环扩增产物的影响。结果表明:在反应开始的前30 min,RCA产物的长度受时间的影响比较明显;随着dNTPs浓度的提高,RCA产物的链长增长,浓度也不断提高;酶和引物的浓度对滚环扩增产物的长度没有明显影响,但对RCA产物浓度的影响较大,过量的酶致使RCA产物的含量显著下降。

Magnetization of individual yeast cells by in situ formation of iron oxide on cell surfaces

Magnetic functionalization of living cells has intensively been investigated with the aim of various bioapplications such as selective separation, targeting, and localization of the cells by using an external magnetic field. However, the magnetism has not been introduced to individual living cells through the in situ chemical reactions because of harsh conditions required for synthesis of magnetic materials. In this work, magnetic iron oxide was formed on the surface of living cells by optimizing reactions conditions to be mild sufficiently enough to sustain cell viability. Specifically, the reactive LbL strategy led to formation of magnetically responsive yeast cells with iron oxide shells. This facile and direct post-magnetization method would be a useful tool for remote manipulation of living cells with magnetic interactions, which is an important technique for the integration of cell-based circuits and the isolation of cell in microfluidic devices.     

Positive solutions for Lotka–Volterra competition system with large cross-diffusion in a spatially heterogeneous environment

In this paper, we study the stationary problem for the Lotka–Volterra competition system with cross-diffusion in a spatially heterogeneous environment. Although some sufficient conditions for the existence of positive solutions are obtained by using global bifurcation theory, the information for their structure is far from complete. In order to get better understanding of the competition system with cross-diffusion, we focus on the asymptotic behaviour of positive solutions and derive two shadow systems as the cross-diffusion coefficient tends to infinity, moreover, the structure of positive solutions of the limiting system is analysed. The result of asymptotic behaviour also reveals different phenomena from that studied in Wang and Li (2013).     

QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF DYNAMICAL BEHAVIOR FOR AN IMPERFECT INCOMPRESSIBLE NEO-HOOKEAN SPHERICAL SHELL

IntroductionIn applications, it is commonly considered that the phenomena of cavity formation,growth and run-through of adjacent cavities occur in materials as precursors to failure. Thesephenomena are mainly due to instability of materials. On the other …     

DAMPING OF VERTICALLY EXCITED SURFACE WAVE IN WEAKLY VISCOUS FLUID

In a vertically oscillating circular cylindrical container, singular perturbation theory of two-time scale expansions is developed in weakly viscous fluids to investigate the motion of single free surface standing wave by linearizing the Navier-Stokes equation. The fluid field is divided into an outer potential flow region and an inner boundary layer region. The solutions of both two regions are obtained and a linear amplitude equation incorporating damping term and external excitation is derived. The condition to appear stable surface wave is obtained and the critical curve is determined. In addition, an analytical expression of damping coefficient is determined. Finally, the dispersion relation, which has been derived from the inviscid fluid approximation, is modified by adding linear damping. It is found that the modified results are reasonably closer to experimental results than former theory. Result shows that when forcing frequency is low, the viscosity of the fluid is prominent for the mode selection. However, when forcing frequency is high, the surface tension of the fluid is prominent.
