Homogeneous graft copolymerization and characterization of novel artificial glycoprotein: Chitosan‐poly(L‐tryptophan) copolymers with secondary structural side chains

A novel series of artificial glycoprotein, peptide‐chitosan copolymers with secondary structural side chain have been synthesized by ring‐opening polymerization of L ‐tryptophan N‐carboxyanhydride under homogeneous conditions. Their chemical structures and polymerization degree (DP) were characterized by IR, ¹³C NMR, and XRD spectra. Distinctly secondary protein structure has been found in the poly‐L ‐tryptophan side chains of copolymers and with the lengthening of side chain (i.e., the increase of DP at the same time), its conformations could transfer from β‐sheet to α‐helix. The content of α‐helix reaches about 41% when DP of polytryptophan is 22. The solubility of graft copolymers in polar solvent strongly depends on the length of poly‐L ‐tryptophan side chains. Unique fluorescence emission at 360 nm has been observed in the glycopolymers and the intensity shows the positive‐correlation with the increasing of DP of polytryptophan. Importantly, the fluorescence effect can be quenched easily by the coordination with copper ions which provides the possibility on the biosensor design. In comparison with chitosan, glycopolymers also present impressively enhanced compressive strength and elastic modules when it is blended with epoxy E 44 to form epoxy‐copolymer hybrid resin. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The Locally Conservative Galerkin (LCG) Method — a Discontinuous Methodology Applied to a Continuous Framework

This paper presents a comprehensive overview of the element-wise locally conservative Galerkin (LCG) method. The LCG method was developed to find a method that had the advantages of the discontinuous Galerkin methods, without the large computational and memory requirements. The initial application of the method is discussed, to the simple scalar transient convection-diffusion equation, along with its extension to the Navier-Stokes equations utilising the Characteristic Based Split (CBS) scheme. The element-by-element solution approach removes the standard finite element assembly necessity, with an face flux providing continuity between these elemental subdomains. This face flux provides explicit local conservation and can be determined via a simple small post-processing calculation. The LCG method obtains a unique solution from the elemental contributions through the use of simple averaging. It is shown within this paper that the LCG method provides equivalent solutions to the continuous (global) Galerkin method for both steady state and transient solutions. Several numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the abilities of the LCG method.

Single atomic manipulation and writing with scanning tunnelling microscopy at low temperatures

In the work reported in this paper,we have used a low-temperature scanning tunnelling microscope (LT-STM) system to manipulate accurately single atoms.We show how we can use a LT-STM to image and modify a bulk Ag(111) surface and manipulate Ag atoms from substrate and evaporated adsorbates on Ag(111) substrates.We present a synergistic combination of SM-induced modification and ordered arrays of nanometre-scale structures.In particular,we demonstrate the ability to modify Ag atomic nanometre structures on the Ag(111) substrate,and some English letters and a Chinese character can be written by single Ag atoms coming from the substrate and evaporated adsorbates on Ag(111),In this way ,we supply an effective basis to explore the fundamental physical properties of a nanometre structure and to develop nanotechnology with a bottom-up approach,

UNSTEADY／STEADY NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL INCOMPRESSIBLE NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS ON ARTIFICIAL COMPRESSIBILITY

A mixed algorithm of central and upwind difference scheme for the solution of steady/unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations is presented. The algorithm is based on the method of artificial compressibility and uses a third-order flux-difference splitting technique for the convective terms and the second-order central difference for the viscous terms. The numerical flux of semi-discrete equations is computed by using the Roe approximation. Time accuracy is obtained in the numerical solutions by subiterating the equations in pseudotime for each physical time step. The algebraic turbulence model of Baldwin-Lomax is ulsed in this work. As examples, the solutions of flow through two dimensional flat, airfoil, prolate spheroid and cerebral aneurysm are computed and the results are compared with experimental data. The results show that the coefficient of pressure and skin friction are agreement with experimental data, the largest discrepancy occur in the separation region where the lagebraic turbulence model of Baldwin-Lomax could not exactly predict the flow.
