Vibrational spectroscopy study of hydrothermally produced scorodite (FeAsO4·2H2O), ferric arsenate sub‐hydrate (FAsH; FeAsO4·0.75H2O) and basic ferric arsenate sulfate (BFAS; Fe[(AsO4)1−x(SO4)x(OH)x]·wH2O)

Three crystalline ferric arsenate phases: (1) scorodite; FeAsO₄·2H₂O, (2) ferric arsenate sub‐hydrate (FAsH; FeAsO₄·0.75H₂O) and (3) basic ferric arsenate sulfate (BFAS; Fe[(AsO₄)_1−x(SO₄)_x(OH)_x]·wH₂O) synthesized by hydrothermal precipitation (175–225 °C) from Fe(III)‐AsO₄³⁻–SO₄²⁻ solutions have been investigated via Raman and infrared spectroscopies. The spectroscopic nature of these high‐temperature Fe(III)‐ AsO₄³⁻–SO₄²⁻ phases has not been extensively studied despite their importance to the hydrometallurgical industrial processing of precious metal (Au and Cu) arsenic sulfidic ores. It was found that scorodite, FAsH and BFAS all gave rise to very distinct arsenate, sulfate and hydroxyl vibrations. In scorodite and FAsH, the distribution of the internal arsenate modes was found to be distinct, with the factor effect being more predominant in the crystal system. For the crystallographically unknown BFAS phase, vibrational spectroscopy was used to monitor the arsenate ↔ sulfate solid solution behavior that occurs in this phase where the molecular symmetry of arsenate and sulfate in the crystal structure is reduced from an ideal T_d to a distorted T_d or C₂/C_2v symmetry. With the new collected vibrational data of the pure phases, the use of attenuated total reflectance infrared (ATR‐IR) spectroscopy was finally extended to investigate the nature of the arsenate in an industrial residue generated by pressure oxidation of a gold ore, where it was found that the arsenate was present in the form of BFAS.

Roles of Isospin in Evaporation Residue Cross Section as a Probe of Nuclear Dissipation

The influence of isospin on the excess of evaporation residue cross section over its standard statistical-model value for nuclei ^194pb, ^200Pb, and ^206pb is studied via a Langevin equation coupled with a statistical decay model. The magnitude of this excess for a low-isospin fissioning nucleus is shown to be larger and its dependence on the nuclear viscosity coefficient to be stronger than those of a high-isospin fissioning nucleus. These results suggest that to obtain a more accurate information of viscosity coefficient inside the saddle point by measuring evaporation residue cross sections, we had better choose those compound systems with small isospin.     

Effects of N/Z on Spin Distribution of Evaporation Residue Cross Section as a Probe of Nuclear Dissipation

The spin distribution of the evaporation residue cross section of nuclei ^194pb, ^200Pb, ^206Pb, and ^200 Os are calculated via a Langevin equation coupled with a statistical decay model. It is shown that with increasing the neutronto-proton ratio （N/Z） of the system, the sensitivity of the significantly. Moreover, for ^200Os this spin distribution is no spin distribution to the nuclear dissipation is decreased longer sensitive to the nuclear dissipation. These results suggest that to obtain a more accurate pre-saddle viscosity coefficient through the measurement of the evaporation residue spin distribution, it is best to yield those compound systems with low N/Z.     

Quantitative display of the redox status of proteins with maleimide‐polyethylene glycol tagging

Cysteine oxidation, either biologically reversible or irreversible, is the main posttranslational modification associated with redox signaling and oxidative stress. Maleimide‐polyethylene glycol (m‐PEG) has been used to detect reversibly oxidized proteins by reacting to the reduced cysteine residues leading to mobility shift in immunoblots; a method called PEG‐switch. With PEG‐switch, both reduced and oxidized proteins can be observed on the same immunoblot simultaneously, providing a simple quantitative measurement for protein thiol modifications. In this report, we optimized the assay conditions and exploited the applications of PEG‐switch in quantitation of the extent of protein thiol oxidation in cells in response to H₂O₂ and insulin. In addition, we have proposed a redox scoring system for measuring the redox status of any given protein from the m‐PEG immunoblot. Our results provided quantitative data showing that two cysteine residues of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B are prone to oxidation following insulin treatment in cultured HeLa cells.     

Interference Adsorption Mechanisms of Dimethoate,Metalaxyl, Atrazine,Malathion and Prometryn in a Sediment System Containing Coexisting Pesticides/Heavy Metals Based on Fractional Factor Design(Resolution V) Assisted by 2D-QSAR

The mechanisms of adsorption of pesticides(dimethoate, metalaxyl, atrazine, malathion and prometryn) and heavy metals(Cu, Cd, Pb, Zn and Ni) coexisting in sediments, with pesticides as target pollutants, and the influence of their main effects and double-order interaction effects were studied using the experimental design module in the Minitab software package with a 2^10?3 fractional factorial design method at resolution V. The main, double-order interaction, synergistic and antagonistic effect values of pollutant concentrations influencing the adsorption of pesticides were set as dependent variables, while various quantum chemical parameters of pesticides were set as independent variables, and two-dimensional quantitative structure activity relationship(2D-QSAR) models were established by stepwise regression to reveal the adsorption mechanisms of pesticides in a composite contamination system. The main effects of pollutants concentration played the primary role in the adsorption of dimethoate and malathion(the rates of contributions were 53.54% and 56.46%, respectively), while double-order interaction effects were primarily responsible for metalaxyl, atrazine and prometryn adsorption(the rates of contributions were 79.05%, 60.21% and 57.89%, respectively) in the pesticide/heavy metals coexisting sediment system. The synergistic effects of the main effects and double-order interaction effects of pollutants concentration(synergistic effects) played a leading role in adsorption of malathion and prometryn(the rates of contributions were 70.61% and 69.61%, respectively), while antagonistic effects of the main effects and double-order interaction effects of pollutants(antagonistic effects) played a dominant role in the adsorption of dimethoate, metalaxyl and atrazine(the rates of contributions were 58.82%, 56.89% and 58.24%, respectively). Moreover, the correlation coefficient value(R²) ranged from 0.986 to 0.999(>0.8783) in the 2D-QSAR model, while the standard deviation(SD) ranged from 0.006 to 0.066 and the F test values were 22.684-199.544, indicating the model has good predictive ability and fit. The 2D-QSAR model revealed a significant correlation(P=0.05) between the main effects of pollutants concentrations on pesticides adsorption(main effect values) and the most positive hydrogen atomic charge(q_H+), the highest occupied molecular orbital energy(E_HOMO) and the dipole moment(μ). Furthermore, double-order interaction effect values of pollutant concentrations influenced the adsorption of pesticides(double-order interaction effect values), and the most positive atomic charge(q⁺), q_H+, and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy(E_LUMO) were significantly correlated. The q_H+, E_HOMO and μ of pesticides were found to be significant factors promoting pesticides adsorption, while the q⁺ and E_LUMO of pesticides were significant inhibiting factors(P=0.05). Overall, this study provides a theoretical basis for further realization of combined pollution control of pesticide pollutants in complex environmental systems.

Nonabelian free subgroups in homomorphic images of valued quaternion division algebras

Given a quaternion division algebra a noncentral element is called pure if its square belongs to the center. A theorem of Rowen and Segev (2004) asserts that for any quaternion division algebra of positive characteristic and any pure element the quotient of by the normal subgroup generated by is abelian-by-nilpotent-by-abelian. In this note we construct a quaternion division algebra of characteristic zero containing a pure element such that contains a nonabelian free group. This demonstrates that the situation in characteristic zero is very different.
