我国铝期货、铝现货与废铝价格动态关系的实证研究

利用Johansen协整检验、Granger因果检验以及向量误差修正(VEC)模型、脉冲响应分析和方差分解分析,从三个不同的角度对我国铝期货、铝现货和废铝市场价格间的动态关系进行了实证分析,研究结果表明:从引导关系看,铝期货价格与铝现货价格之间具有协整关系,并且铝期货价格对铝现货价格及废铝价格具有单向价格引导关系,铝现货价格对废铝价格具有单向价格引导关系;从冲击反应看,铝期货对铝现货的冲击比较强烈,而铝期货对废铝以及铝现货对废铝的冲击相对比较和缓;从价格发现程度看,铝期货市场具有最强的价格发现能力,铝现货价格发现能力次之,废铝的价格发现能力最弱,表明铝期货是价格发现过程的主要驱动力量.

Interaction forces between adsorbed polymer layers

The interaction forces between adsorbed polymer layers were investigated. Two types of graft copolymers that were adsorbed on hydrophobic surfaces have been investigated: (i) a graft copolymer consisting of polymethylmethacrylate/polymethacrylic acid back bone (the B chain) on which several poly(ethylene oxide) chains are grafted (to be referred to as PMMA/PEO_n); and (ii) a graft copolymer consisting of inulin (linear polyfructose with degree of polymerization > 23) (the A chain) on which several C₁₂ chains are grafted (INUTEC SP1). In the first case adsorbed layers of the graft copolymer were obtained on mica sheets and the interaction forces were measured using the surface force apparatus. In the second case the interaction forces were measured using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). For this purpose a hydrophobically modified glass sphere was attached to the tip of the cantilever of the AFM and the glass plate was also made hydrophobic. Both the sphere and the glass plate contained an adsorbed layer of INUTEC SP1.In the surface forces apparatus one essentially measures the energy E(D)–distance D curves for the graft copolymer of PMMA/PEO_n between mica surfaces bearing the graft copolymer and this could be converted to interaction energy between flat surfaces. Using the de Gennes scaling theory, it is possible to calculate the interaction energy between the polymer layers. The same graft copolymer was used in latex dispersions and the high frequency modulus G′_∝ was measured as a function of the volume fraction ? of the dispersion. This high frequency modulus could be related to the potential of mean force. In this way one could compare the results obtained from rheology and those obtained from direct measurement of interaction forces.In the AFM method, the interaction forces are measured in the contact area between two surfaces, i.e. a spherical glass particle and a glass plate. Both glass spheres and plates were hydrophobized using dichlorodimethylsilane. Results were obtained for adsorbed layers of INUTEC SP1 in water and in the presence of various concentrations of Na₂SO₄ (0.3, 0.8, 1.0 and 1.5 mol dm^{− 3}). All results showed a rapid increase of force with a decrease of separation distance and the forces were still repulsive up to the highest Na₂SO₄ concentration. This explains the high stability of dispersions when using INUTEC SP1 as stabilizer.     

Effect of ionic liquid on dielectric, mechanical and dynamic mechanical properties of multi-walled carbon nanotubes/polychloroprene rubber composites

This paper focuses on the influence of ionic liquid on carbon nanotube based elastomeric composites. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are modified using an ionic liquid at room temperature, 1-butyl 3-methyl imidazolium bis (trifluoromethylsulphonyl) imide (BMI) and modified MWCNTs exhibit physical (cation–π/π–π) interaction with BMI. The polychloroprene rubber (CR) composites are prepared using unmodified and BMI modified MWCNTs. The presence of BMI not only increases the alternating current (AC) electrical conductivity and polarisability of the composites but also improves the state of dispersion of the tubes as observed from dielectric spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy respectively. In addition to the hydrodynamic reinforcement, the formation of improved filler–filler networks is reflected in the dynamic storage modulus (E′) for modified MWCNTs/CR composites in amplitude sweep measurement upon increasing the proportion of BMI. Hardness and mechanical properties are also studied for the composites as a function of BMI.     

Theoretical studies on the conformational change of adenosine kinase induced by inhibitors

Adenosine kinase (AK) is a two‐domain protein that catalyzes the phosphorylation of adenosine to adenosine monophosphate. Inhibitors of AK could increase adenosine to levels that activate nearby adenosine receptors and produce a wide variety of therapeutically beneficial activities. To get insight into the interaction mechanism between inhibitors and AK, we chose two kinds of novel inhibitors, alkynylpyrimidine inhibitor (APy) and aryl‐nucleoside inhibitor (AN), and used docking and molecular dynamics simulation methods to study the conformational changes of human AK on binding inhibitors. The calculation results revealed that both APy and AN could induce conformational changes of AK and stabilize AK at different semiopen conformations. On binding APy, the small lid‐domain rotated 14°, and the binding pocket rearranged after MD simulation. But in AK‐AN complex, the rotation of small domain is 22°, and the sugar ring of AN is mobile in the binding pocket. Further docking calculations on APy analogues indicate that the semiopen conformation could well explain the SAR of AK inhibitors. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2011     

Magnetocaloric effect in the ternary DyCo3B2 compound

A large magnetocaloric (MCE) effect has been observed for the ternary compound DyCo₃B₂. This material shows the magnetic ordering below T_C = 22 K for H = 0 T. MCE has been determined based on the isothermal magnetization curves measurements and the isomagnetic heat capacity dependence on temperature. The maximum magnetic entropy change −ΔS_M = 17.5 J kg⁻¹K⁻¹ and the adiabatic temperature change ΔT_ad = 14 K have been observed in the neighborhood of the magnetic phase transition at the magnetic field change of 9 T. The analysis of the magnetic contribution to the specific heat indicates on the important role of the crystal electric field and the anisotropy for the properties of the DyCo₃B₂ compound.
