One-step smoothing Newton method for solving the mixed complementarity problem with a function

The mixed complementarity problem (denote by MCP(F)) can be reformulated as the solution of a smooth system of equations. In the paper, based on a perturbed mid function, we propose a new smoothing function, which has an important property, not satisfied by many other smoothing function. The existence and continuity of a smooth path for solving the mixed complementarity problem with a P₀ function are discussed. Then we presented a one-step smoothing Newton algorithm to solve the MCP with a P₀ function. The global convergence of the proposed algorithm is verified under mild conditions. And by using the smooth and semismooth technique, the rate of convergence of the method is proved under some suitable assumptions.     

One-step construction of reagentless biosensor based on chitosan-carbon nanotubes-nile blue-horseradish peroxidase biocomposite formed by electrodeposition

A simple and controllable electrodeposition approach was established for one-step construction of novel reagentless biosensors by in situ formation of chitosan-carbon nanotubes-nile blue-horseradish peroxidase (CS-CNTs-NB-HRP) biocomposite film on electrode surface. The mediator effect of NB, conducting performance of CNTs and the biocompatible microenvironment of CS were combined by such one-step non-manual process. NB could interact with CNTs and resulted in good dispersion of CNTs-NB nanocomposites in aqueous solution. Cyclic voltammetry measurements demonstrated that electrons were efficiently shuttled between HRP and the electrode mediated by NB. The developed reagentless biosensor exhibited a fast amperometric response for the determination of H₂O₂ and 95% of the steady-state current was obtained within 2 s. The linear response of the reagentless biosensor for the determination of H₂O₂ ranged from 1.0 × 10⁻⁶ to 2.4 × 10⁻⁴ mol l⁻¹ with a detection limit of 1.2 × 10⁻⁷ mol l⁻¹. The biosensor exhibited high reproducibility and long-time storage stability. The as-prepared biosensor also showed effective anti-interference capability. The ease of the one-step non-manual technique and the promising feature of the biocomposite could serve as a versatile platform for fabricating electrochemical biosensors.     

Development and validation of a pressurized liquid extraction liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry method for perfluorinated compounds determination in fish

This paper describes the development and validation of an analytical methodology to determine eight perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) in edible fish using pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) with water and solid-phase extraction (SPE) with an ion-exchanger as extraction and pre-concentration procedures, followed by liquid chromatography–quadrupole-linear ion trap mass spectrometry (LC–QqLIT–MS). The rapidity and effectiveness of the proposed extraction procedure were compared with those most commonly used to isolate PFCs from fish (ion-pairing and alkaline digestion). The average recoveries of the different fish samples, spiked with the eight PFCs at three levels (the LOQ, 10 and 100 μg kg⁻¹ of each PFC), were always higher than 85% with relative standard deviation (RSD) lower than 17%. A good linearity was established for the eight PFCs in the range from 0.003–0.05 to 100 μg kg⁻¹, with r > 0.9994. The limits of quantification (LOQs) were between 0.003 and 0.05 μg kg⁻¹, which are well below those previously reported for this type of samples. Compared with previous methods, sample preparation time and/or LOQs are reduced. The method demonstrated its successful application for the analysis of different parts of several fish species. Most of the samples tested positive, mainly for perfluoropentanoic acid (PFPA), perfluorobutane sulfonate (PFBS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) but other of the eight studied PFCs were also present.

One-step optical negabinary and modified signed-digit adder

A one-step algorithm for parallel negabinary addition of two negabinary numbers is achieved by minimizing the truth-table for the two-step algorithm. Without increasing the encoding cell size or adding complexity of the corresponding optical system, the proposed one-step scheme doubles the computation speed. The optical system can also be used to realize a one-step modified signed digit adder. Additionally, optical implementation of negabinary multiplication using this proposed one-step optical adder is discussed.

Methods for rational clean-up procedures and the determination by means of mechanized HPLC are shown. The following quality criteria for determination methods are proposed: precision, accuracy, specificity and sensitivity. Quality control in routine analyses is performed by evaluating the criteria of parallel analyses of known admixtures to serum.     

二氧化三氮(N3O2)中性分子和离子的一些重要反应过程的理论研究

二重态的N3O2中性分子作为中间体, 在N3O2阴离子的光解离反应和NO+N2O←→N2+NO2反应中均起重要作用. 在CCSD(T)/6-311G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-311G(d,p)+ZPE的水平上, 对这两个反应进行了理论计算. 结果表明, 在N3O2阴离子的光解离反应中, 该阴离子先在光照下解离为与其具有相同的W构型的中性分子和一个电子, 这个中性分子是一个过渡态, 它将打破C2v构型变成具有Cs对称性的W型中间异构体, 然后再经过一个过渡态, 裂解成N2O+NO两个小分子. 这个裂解过程的能垒非常低(5.96 kJ/mol), 因此在实验中很难检测到W型的中间异构体. 在另一个重要的[N3O2]体系的反应(NO+N2O←→N2+NO2)中, 找到了两条反应通道, 其中不经过中间异构体的一步转化通道更为可行.     

Determination of organochlorine pesticide residues by solid phase extraction and dual-column HRGC

Organochlorine pesticide residues have been extracted from samples of animal feed by a solid phase extraction clean-up procedure using an octadecyl-bonded column. The proposed method gave recoveries ranging from 70 to 100 % for ppb levels of the fifteeen pesticides studied. Analytes were identified by dual-column capillary gas chromatography employing DB-1 and DB-1701 columns in parallel; identities were confirmed by calculation of retention indexes with the cubic spline interpolation method.
