The Effects of Salts on the Room-Temperature Fluorescence and Room-Temperature Phosphorescence of Tetrols on Filter Paper and Filter Paper with Silicone

Abstract

Several salts were investigated to enhance the room-temperature solid-matrix phosphorescence of the four stereoisomeric tetrols on filter paper. Thallium acetate was found to enhance the phosphorescence to the greatest extent, but it was necessary to prepare the thallium acetate in an acetic acid solution to achieve the maximum phosphorescence from the solid matrix. Also, thallium acetate essentially quenched the solid-matrix fluorescence of the tetrols. Without thallium acetate adsorbed on filter paper, strong room-temperature fluorescence signals were observed from the tetrols adsorbed on filter paper. With a new solid matrix, filter paper which contained silicone, no heavy-atom was needed to obtain strong phosphorescence from the adsorbed tetrols. In fact, the room-temperature fluorescence from the tetrols adsorbed on this type of filter paper was very strong. The room-temperature fluorescence gave a limit of detection in the sub-picogram range for one of the tetrols with the silicone treated filter paper.     

Determination of the Phytohormone Indole-3-Acetic Acid by Synchronous Derivative Spectrofluorometry Following Acetic Anhydride Derivatization

Abstract

The very selective fluorogenic reaction of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) with acetic anhydride, acid catalyzed, is used to perform an improved fluorometric method for the determination of nanogram amounts of IAA. The synchronous derivative approach used in this work provides significant advantages in the more relevant analytical figures of merit, especially in sensitivity and precision.     

Nonlinear effects due to electromechanical interaction in generators with smooth poles

Electromechanical interaction in rotating machinery is an interesting nonlinear phenomenon. The methods used to analyze this phenomenon depend on the type of the electrical machine, synchronous or asynchronous, and on its size, but they are often related to the study of the unbalanced magnetic pull (UMP). In this paper the nonlinear behavior of generators with smooth poles of high-speed turbogenerators is presented during and after the excitation of the magnetic field in the air-gap in order to fully exploit the effect of the UMP. In the first part of the paper a method, which allows the simulation of the dynamical behavior of a flexible rotor caused by the UMP, is presented. In the second part, the simulation of a magnetic field excitation transient in a turbogenerator is presented and the nonlinear aspects in the system response and forcing are highlighted.

基于蛋白质对双嵌吲哚染料具有良好的荧光增强作用,以新型水溶性吲哚基同型二聚体探针I,建立了一种灵敏的蛋白质同步荧光分析体系。实验考察了吲哚探针的荧光特征、吲哚探针浓度、缓冲体系pH、盐浓度等参数对体系荧光的影响。在酸性条件下,蛋白质分子与探针I发生结合作用,同步荧光明显增强并向长波方向发生红移,且同步荧光强度与蛋白质浓度成良好的线性关系。在最优条件下,牛血清白蛋白BSA的线性响应范围5.00×10-7～2.50×10-5 g·mL-1,检测限(3σ/K)为3 ×10-8 g·mL-1;测定了血清蛋白BSA的合成样品,不同浓度BSA样品回收率为98.6%～103.0%,相对标准偏差1.1%～1.9%;与蛋白质紫外标准测定法比较,测定偏差为0.4%～3.9％。     

Portable Fibre Optic Oxygen Sensor Based on Room-Temperature Phosphor escence Lifetime

 A portable fibre optic instrument for oxygen sensing based on luminescence lifetime is presented. The instrument is based on measurement of the quenching by oxygen of the room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) emitted by aluminium tris(8-hydroxy-7-iodo-5-quinolinesulfonic acid) chelate incorporated in an inorganic matrix by sol–gel technology. The comparatively long RTP lifetime of this sensing material (450 μs) and the large singlet–triplet splitting (λ_exc 390 nm, λ_em 590 nm) allow the use of simple opto-electronic circuits and low-cost processing electronics. Standard electronic components have been applied in development of the low-cost lifetime-measurement instrumentation presented here. Two optical sensor configurations, “flow-through cell” and “probe”, have been designed and evaluated for the determination of very low levels of oxygen, in gaseous argon streams and in waters. The basic technology, design parameters and performance characteristics of the optical sensors are discussed. Applications to determination of dissolved oxygen in river, tap and sewage waters are described. The advantages of luminescence lifetime measurements over conventional RTP intensity measurements for oxygen sensing are discussed. Received April 1, 1999. Revision November 4, 1999.     

Hyperbranched Aromatic Polyesters

Summary: Having developed a theoretical model of hyperbranched polymerization involving AB₂ and B₂ monomers we present preliminary results of a test of its validity for the system consisting of 4,4-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)pentanoic acid (AB₂ monomer) and bisphenol A (B₂ monomer). The monomers reacted at room temperature to yield the title hyperbranched polyesters. Diisopropylcarbodiimide (condensation water remover) along with an effective catalyst were used for that purpose. The total of AB₂ monomer was introduced at once to a reactor containing B₂ core monomer or it was divided into 3 or 5 equal portions and each of them introduced after the monomers previously present have reacted to a predetermined conversion. GPC measurements of the resulting molecular mass distribution gave inconclusive results because of poor reproducibility of polymer isolation/purification procedure and/or insufficient accuracy of GPC technique.     

氧氟沙星与脲诱导牛血清白蛋白结合的机制研究

摘要 利用荧光光谱和紫外光谱研究了脲（Urea）对牛血清白蛋白（BSA）结构的影响以及氧氟沙星（Oflxacin）与脲诱导的BSA结合的情况。结果显示：Urea诱导BSA变性历经两步、三态过程,且伴随中间态的形成。随着Urea浓度的增大,BSA荧光强度降低并先蓝移（344 nm～336 nm）,后又红移至350 nm。Urea浓度在4.6～5.2 mol/L范围时,Oflx对BSA中间态有强的猝灭作用（KQ=10.46×104 L/mol, Urea 4.8 mol/L）和较大的结合常数（KA=3.8807×105 L/mol, Urea 4.8 mol/L）,但是结合位点数小（n=0.76, Urea 5.0 mol/L）,能量传递效率低（E=0.3002, Urea 4.8 mol/L）。同步荧光光谱显示：Urea诱导BSA去折叠时,Trp-212残基微环境并未发生改变,而Tyr的最大荧光发射峰蓝移,Oflx的加入诱导Trp-212的微环境更具疏水性。Oflx加速了Urea对BSA的失活作用。
