Local and non-local sources of airborne particulate pollution at Beijing--The ratio of Mg/Al as an element tracer for estimating the contributions of mineral aerosols from outside Beijing

A new element tracer technique has firstly been established to estimate the contributions of mineral aerosols from both inside and outside Beijing. The ratio of Mg/Al in aerosol is a feasible element tracer to distinguish between the sources of inside and outside Beijing. Mineral aerosol, inorganic pollution aerosol mainly as sulfate and nitrate, and organic aerosol are the major components of airborne particulates in Beijing, of which mineral aerosol accounted for 32%―67% of total suspended particles (TSP), 10%―70% of fine particles (PM2.5), and as high as 74% and 90% of TSP and PM2.5, respectively, in dust storm. The sources from outside Beijing contributed 62% (38%―86%) of the total mineral aerosols in TSP, 69% (52%―90%) in PM10, and 76% (59%―93%) in PM2.5 in spring, and 69% (52%―83%), 79% (52%―93%), and 45% (7%―79%) in TSP, PM10, and PM2.5, respectively, in winter, while only ～20% in summer and autumn. The sources from outside Beijing contributed as high as 97% during dust storm and were the dominant source of airborne particulates in Beijing. The contributions from outside Beijing in spring and winter are higher than those in summer, indicating clearly that it was related to the various meteorological factors.

Das Düsenschwellphänomen beim Austritt einer wandhaftenden anorganischen Glasschmelze aus Strangpreßwerkzeugen mit nichtkreisförmigem Öffnungsquerschnitt

Zusammenfassung Eine ausgeprägte Strangaufweitung tritt bei anorganischen Glasschmelzen dann auf, wenn bei schleichender Strömung eine Haftung zwischen der Wand des Matrizenkanals und dem strömenden Medium gegeben ist. Sie rührt dabei von der Umorientierung der Geschwindigkeitsverteilung von einem parabelförmigen zu einem kastenförmigen Profil her.In den experimentellen Untersuchungen konnte festgestellt werden, daß oberhalb einer bestimmten Kanallänge, d. h. bei ausgeprägten Strömungsverhältnissen im Preßwerkzeug die flächenbezogene Strangaufweitung konstant und dabei insbesondere unabhängig von der Profilform etwa 29% beträgt. Daraus wird gefolgert, daß dieser Betrag dem linearen Wert für den zweidimensionalen Fall des unendlich ausgedehnten Spaltes entsprechen muß.In einer theoretischen Analyse wurde die Berechnung dieses Falles ausgehend von der Stokes-Gleichung mit Hilfe der Methode der finiten Elemente durchgeführt. Aus der sich daraus ergebenden Druck- und Geschwindigkeitsverteilung konnte schließlich die Kontur des austretenden Stranges sowie dessen Endhöhe ermittelt werden.Ein Vergleich der experimentell und rechnerisch ermittelten Werte für die Strangaufweitung zeigt dabei eine recht gute Übereinstimmung und bestätigt dadurch auch die weitgehende Unabhängigkeit der flächenbezogenen Aufweitung von der Querschnittsform des Stranges.

Inorganic glass melts are showing a characteristic die swell, when in the case of slow motion a strong adhesion between the streaming fluid and the wall of the die channel exists. The reason for this phenomenon is the rearrangement of the velocity profile from a parabolic to a box-type design form.The experimental investigations have demonstrated, that above a certain channel length, this means at distinct flow conditions inside the die channel, the value for the extension of the cross-sectional area is constant of about 29%. Particularly it is independent of the shape of the used die profiles. From this result, it is to deduce that this value must correspond to that of the two-dimensional case of the infinite extended slit.In a theoretical analysis the computation of this case was performed, starting from the Stokes-equation by the finite element method. By means of the resulting pressure and velocity distribution, the contour of the emerging rod and its final thickness could be determined.A comparison between experimental and computational results shows good agreement. So the appreciable independence of the magnitude of the die swell from the profile of the extruded rod is confirmed.

The spherical-model limit in a random field

The spherical-model limitn of then-vector model in a random field, with either a statistically independent distribution or with long-range correlated random fields, is studied to demonstrate the correctness of the replica method in which then and replica limits limits are interchanged, provided the replica and thermodynamic limits are taken in the right order, in the case of long-range correlated random fields. A scaling form for the two-point correlation function relevant to the first-order phase transition below the lower critical dimensionality of the random system is also obtained.

On-column injection onto capillary columns. Part 2: Study of sampling conditions; practical recommendations

During one year continuous use of on-column injection, the typical advantages described in our first report have fully been confirmed. In addition the analysis of large sample volumes has proved promising. Only minor modifications have been applied to the on-column injector device. Broad evidence has been gathered showing that full separation efficiency of the capillary columns after on-column injection is attained only when cold trapping or the solvent effect, as band shortening mechanisms, are working- While, under the conditions of on-column injection, cold trapping is less efficient than with other injection techniques, the opposite holds true for the solvent effect. Compared with splitless injection, the danger of excessive solvent condensation on the column is increased. A working rule is presented for establishing the optimal chromatographic conditions for handling large sample volumes while ensuring full separation efficiency yet avoiding harm to the column.     

Drug metabolite cluster centers-based strategy for comprehensive profiling of Neomangiferin metabolites in vivo and in vitro and network pharmacology study on anti-inflammatory mechanism

Neomangiferin (NMF) is an extremely special xanthone that could be simultaneously attributed to C-glycoside and O-glycoside with a variety of biological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antipyretic, and so on. So far as we know, the metabolism profiling has been insufficient until now. Herein, Drug Metabolite Cluster Centers (DMCCs)-based Strategy has been developed to profile the NMF metabolites in vivo and in vitro. Firstly, the DMCCs was proposed depending on literature-related and preliminary analysis results. Secondly, the specific metabolic rule was implemented to screen the metabolites of candidate DMCCs from the acquired Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography Quadrupole Exactive Orbitrap Mass Spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS) data by extracted ion chromatography (EIC) method. Thirdly, candidate metabolites were accurately and tentatively identified according to the pyrolysis law of mass spectrometry, literature reports, comparison of reference substances, and especially the diagnostic product ions (DPIs) deduced preliminarily. Finally, network pharmacology was adopted to elucidate the anti-inflammatory action mechanism of NMF on the basis of DMCCs. As a result, 3 critical metabolites including NMF, Mangiferin (MF) and Norathyriol (NA) were proposed as DMCCs, and a total of 61 NMF metabolites (NMF included) were finally screened and characterized coupled with 3 different biological sample preparation methods including solid phase extraction (SPE), acetonitrile precipitation and methanol precipitation. Among them, 32 metabolites were discovered in rat urine, 30 in rat plasma, 12 in rat liver, 9 metabolites in liver microsomes and 8 in rat faeces, respectively. Our results also illustrated that NMF primarily underwent deglucosylation, glucuronidation, methylation, sulfation, dihydroxylation and their composite reactions in vivo and in vitro. Additionally, network pharmacology analysis based on DMCCs revealed 85 common targets of disease-metabolites, and the key targets were TNF, EGFR, ESR1, PTGS2, HIF1A, IL-2, PRKCA and PRKCB. They exerted anti-inflammatory effects mainly through the pathways of inflammatory response, calcium-dependent protein kinase C activity, nitrogen metabolism, pathways in cancer and so on. In general, our study constructed a novel strategy to comprehensive elucidate the biotransformation pathways of NMF in vivo and in vitro, and provided vital reference for further understanding its anti-inflammatory action mechanism. Moreover, the established strategy could be generalized to the metabolism and action mechanism study of other natural products.
