Phenomenological and neural-network modeling of cephalosporin C production bioprocess

Cephalosporin C production process withCephalosporium acremonium ATCC 48272 in synthetic medium was investigated and the experimental results allowed the development of a mathematical model describing the process behavior. The model was able to explain fairly well the diauxic phenomenon, higher growth rate during the glucose-consumption phase, and the production occurring only in the sucrose-consumption phase. Moreover, the process was simulated utilizing the neural-networks technique. Two feed-forward neural-networks with one hidden layer were employed. Both models, phenomenological and neural-networks based, satisfactorily describe the bioprocess. The difficulties in determining kinetic parameters are avoided when neural networks are utilized.     

表面能与晶体生长/溶解动力学研究的新动向

界面现象使物质在结晶过程中出现了临界现象.但最近的研究指出在物质溶解过程中,在表面能量的控制下也存在着临界现象以及尺寸效应.实验发现,当晶体自身小到一 定的程度时(通常在纳米尺度上并和临界蚀坑的大小相近),在溶解过程中其速度会自发降 低,反应被抑制乃至停止.尽管在热力学上表面能的因素可以赋予小颗粒晶体较大的溶解度 ,但表面能却也能通过对临界条件的控制而使这些微粒在动力学上不被溶解.这个发现不仅 解决了纳米颗粒在水溶液中稳定性的问题,而且还从动力学的角度解释了生物矿物选择纳米 尺度作为其基本构成单元的原因.由于表面能和晶体生长/溶解的动力学有着密切的关系, 我们可以通过对表面能的调节来修改它们的动力学速度和晶体的形貌.反过来,也可以用动力学的方法来测定表面能及表面吸附/脱附常数等.相对于常规的界面研究手段,通过生 长和溶解动力学途径所得的数据有着很好的可靠性及重复性.我们认为,晶体生长和溶解的 动力学和表面能的研究相结合,不仅为界面研究提供了新的思路和方法,而且也会推动晶体生长和材料科学的发展.     

六次甲基四胺与酚类化合物包结现象的研究

Bishop开发的主体化合物1,6-二甲基-1,6-二羟基二环[3,3,1]壬烷可与乙酸乙酯等形成包结物~[1,2],柏木醇通过氢键作用可与酚类化合物形成包结物~[3].比较上述两个主体分子的结构可知,其相似之处在于它们都是桥环化合物,且具有近似球状的分子结构.考虑到六次甲基四胺也是一个球状桥环化合物,且具有与客体分子形成氢键的条件,故它与酚类化合物的包结现象也有助于氢键共晶现象的研究~[4].

二钼酸铵晶体饱和水溶液Raman光谱的变异现象及其机理

记录了常温下二钼酸铵晶体饱和水溶液的Raman光谱，并分别与二钼酸铵晶体、仲钼酸铵晶体、仲钼酸铵晶体饱和水溶液、水溶液状态下单钼酸根离子的Raman光谱进行了比较研究。结果表明：二钼酸铵晶体饱和水溶液Raman光谱相对二钼酸铵晶体Raman光谱，明显地发生了变异现象。二钼酸铵晶体饱和水溶液Raman光谱其主要特征峰最高振动频率937.6 cm^-1与仲钼酸铵晶体饱和水溶液Raman光谱主要特征峰最高振动频率937.6 cm^-1完全吻合，而其次高振动频率893.9 cm^-1，恰好介于水溶液中单钼酸根离子Raman光谱主要特征峰最高振动频率895.1 cm^-1与仲钼酸铵晶体饱和水溶液Raman光谱主要特征次高峰振动频率891.0 cm^-1之间，而且三者彼此接近。二钼酸铵晶体饱和水溶液Raman光谱主、次特征峰强度之比值为2.1，与仲钼酸铵晶体饱和水溶液Raman光谱主、次特征峰强度之比值4.4相比，一半不足。提出了一种利用Raman光谱主要特征峰振动频率及其主、次特征峰强度之比值对二钼酸铵晶体饱和水溶液组分同时进行定性和半定量分析的新方法。发现了常温下二钼酸铵晶体饱和水溶液中二钼酸根离子Mo₂O₇^2-已经不复存在，完全转变成了优势组分仲钼酸根离子Mo₇O₂₄^6-和次要组分单钼酸根离子MoO₄^2-；证明了常温下含钼水溶液酸化过程中溶液Raman光谱离散性变化现象的存在。运用结构化学和物理化学原理同时讨论了二钼酸铵晶体饱和水溶液Raman光谱发生变异现象的机理。     

On retroactive occurrence and twin events in quantum mechanics

Bohr's well-known claim that only a registered phenomenon is a true phenomenon is further elaborated into occurrence in the past: If ideal occurrence of an eventP ((1–P)) is a state at a timet _i makes another eventQ ((1–Q))certain at a later timet _f, and, finallyU is the evolution operator fromt _i tot _f, then, it is proved that the final collapsed stateQ(U U ⁺)Q/TrQU U ⁺, which comes about in ideal occurrence ofQ att _f,equals the initial collapsed stateU(P P/TrP)U ⁺, which evolves from the state resulting from the ideal occurrence ofP in att _i. Utilizing the latter state is called theretroactive apparent ideal occurrence (RAIO) ofP in. A number of consequences, including the general notion of twin events (the case whent _f=t _i, andU=1) is derived. It is pointed out that RAIO is relevant in second-kind quantum measurement, in Wheeler's delayed-choice experiments in second-kind (or conditional) quantum preparators.     

Swelling of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) gels in water-aprotic solvent mixtures

The swelling volume of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PIPAAm) gel in aprotic solvents (acetonitrile (AcN)-, tetrahydrofuran (THF)-, 1,4-dioxane (DO)- and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO))-water mixtures was measured at 25°C. The gel swollen in water shrank first and then reswelled with addition of the aprotic solvents. At an intermediate mole fraction (XDMSO) range of DMSO-water mixtures, the gel demonstrated a reentrant swelling phenomenon the hydrated gel shrank first on addition of a small amount of solvent, showed a typical wide reentrant transition, and gradually reswelled in the range near pure solvent. On the other hand, the gels in AcN-, THF-, and DO-water mixtures demonstrated a reentrant-convex swelling phenomenon: the gels reswelled after a reentrant phase transition in low Xorg (XAcN, XTHF and XDO), showed a maximum swelling in the intermediate Xorg region, and shrank again gradually in the high Xorg region. Such a swelling behavior of the gel was interpreted by correlating with solution properties of the aqueous aprotic solvent mixtures.The strength of hydrogen bonding around amide groups of the homopolymer was examined in pure solvents (water, THF, and DMSO) and in all proportion of aqueous THF to observe the relation with swelling behavior of gel by spectrum analysis of the amide I and II bands of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). The swelling properties of gels in solvents and the aqueous mixtures were well correlated with the peak shifts of amide groups of the homopolymer.     

Dielectric study on pure and KOH-doped tetrahydrofuran clathrate hydrates

Complex dielectric permittivities of pure and KOH-doped (x = 1.8 x 10^–4) tetrahydrofuran clathrate hydrates were measured in the temperature range 20–260 K and in the frequency range 20 Hz-1 MHz. The relaxation time of the water reorientational motion was found to decrease drastically as a result of the doping; e.g., the relaxation time of the doped sample was 10^–9 times shorter than that of the pure sample at 70 K. The activation enthalpy of the motion was reduced to 7.4 kJ mol^–1. On cooling the crystal, the value of decreased suddenly at the 62 K phase transition to the ₂ value of the pure sample and at the same time disappeared. No dispersion effect due to the guest reorientation was observed below the transition. These data indicate that both the host and guest molecules become ordered or, at least, change their mobility drastically. In the pure sample, a relaxation phenomenon of ₀₂ was found around the glass transition region. The relaxation times agreed well with those derived from the enthalpy of relaxation in a calorimetric study.Dedicated to Dr D. W. Davidson in honor of his great contributions to the sciences of inclusion phenomena.     

Randomly transitional phenomena in the system governed by Duffing's equation

This paper deals with turbulent or chaotic phenomena which occur in the system governed by Duffing's equation, a special type of two-dimensional periodic system. By using analog and digital computers, experiments are carried out with special reference to the change of attractors and of average power spectra of the random processes under the variation of the system parameters. On the basis of the experimental results, an outline of the random process is made clear. The results obtained in this paper will be applied to various physical problems and will also serve as material for the development of a proper mathematics of this phenomenon.
