新发现接通了基因组调控的一条逻辑链

生物学一条被勘察了无数次的信号通路可能还藏有不为人知的功能:防止蛋白生产线出现瓶颈效应。大肠杆菌需摄入含碳丰富的养分才能生长,并按照固定的顺序选择碳源。例如,当葡萄糖充足时,它就会停止合成用来运输和分解其他碳源(如乳糖或麦芽糖)的酶。20世纪40年代,剑桥大学生化学家Helen Epps和Ernest Gale观察到此现象,并将它命名为葡萄糖效应。现在知道其他糖类也能触发类似的响应,它们被统称为分解代谢抑制效应。

ICP-AES测定高浓度基体下杂质元素的偏最小二乘法研究

建立了ICP-AES测定高浓度基体中微量杂质元素的偏最小二乘方法(PLS)。研究表明,PLS能有效校正高浓度基体干扰引起的测量误差,比多元光谱拟合法(MSF)能承受的基体浓度更高。当基体与杂质的含量比为1 000∶1～20 000∶1时,该方法的加标回收率在95%～105%之间。对于干扰效应与基体浓度呈非线性相关的体系,普通PLS的预测准确度不高,但使用基于样品浓度矩阵变换的偏最小二乘法(LIN-PPLS),则明显改善了预测的准确度。分别用MSF、普通PLS和LIN-PPLS对水系沉积物国家标准物质GBW07312中的Co,Pb和Ga进行测定,结果表明,LIN-PPLS的预测准确度优于普通PLS,而普通PLS的预测准确度优于MSF。

通过热极化可以使中心对称的熔石英光纤中产生二阶非线性效应和线性电光效应。为了解各热极化过程参量对热极化产生的线性电光效应的影响,利用全保偏光纤马赫一曾德尔干涉仪构造了一套光纤热极化的实时线性电光效应测试系统,并利用其进行了光纤热极化全过程的监控测试。在线测试了热极化过程的一些参量,例如极化电压、极化时间、以及极化温度等对热极化光纤中产生的线性电光效应的影响。实时测试研究表明,在光纤中施加尽可能高的极化电场将可能在光纤中产生较高的线性电光效应。对侧边抛磨光纤结构的热极化器件,考虑到器件的抗强电场击穿能力,可选用3．o～4．0kV左右的极化直流电压。当施加3．0kV左右的极化电压时,热极化优化时间约为16min,最佳热极化加热温度约为190℃。     

Flow characterization and dilution effects of N_2 and CO_2 on premixed CH_4/air flames in a swirl-stabilized combustor

Numerically-aided experimental studies are conducted on a swirl-stabilized combustor to investigate the dilution effects on flame stability, flame structure, and pollutant emissions of premixed CH4/air flames. Our goal is to provide a systematic assessment on combustion characteristics in diluted regimes for its application to environmentally-friendly approaches such as biogas combustion and exhanst-gas recirculation technology. Two main diluting species, N2 and CO2, are tested at various dilution rates. The results obtained by means of optical diagnostics show that five main flame regimes can be observed for Nz-diluted flames by changing excess air and dilution rate. CO2-diluted flames follow the same pattern evolution except that all the domains are shifted to lower excess air. Both N2 and CO2 dilution affect the lean blow- out （LBO） limits negatively. This behavior can be counter-balanced by reactant preheating which is able to broaden the flammability domain of the diluted flames. Flame reactivity is degraded by increasing dilution rate. Meanwhile, flames are thickened in the presence of both diluting species. NOx emissions are significantly reduced with dilution and proved to be relevant to flame stability diagrams： slight augmentation in NOx emission profiles is related to transitional flame states where instability occurs. Although dilution results in increase in CO emissions at certain levels, optimal dilution rates can still be proposed to achieve an ideal compromise.     

Improved Performance of Phthalocyanine Derivative Field-Effect Transistors by Inserting a Para-Quarterphenyl as the Inducing Layer

We investigate the phthalocyanine derivative organic field-effect transistors （OFETs） using a novel para - quaterphenyl （p-4p） as the inducing layer. Compared to the devices without the p-4p inducing layer, the performances of p-type （copper phthalocyanine） and n-type （fluorinated copper phthaloeyanine） OFETs with optimized thickness of p-4p thin films are greatly enhanced. Both the field-effect mobility and the on/off ratio of the two-type devices are improved by one order of magnitude compared to those of the control devices. This re- markable improvement is attributed to the introduction of p-4p, which can form a highly oriented and continuous phthalocyanine derivative film with the molecular π - π stack direction parallel to the substrate.
