The effectiveness of solvents as hydrogen bond donors

Taft and Kamlet's -scale of solvent hydrogen bond donation ability is reexamined with regard to its correlations with three widely used polarity scales: Dimroth and Reichardt's E _T (30), Kosower's Z and Mayer's A _N , as well as with the _m values of the solvents when present as monomeric solutes. The correlation with E _T serves to extend the solvent -scale according to the expression:

MEASUREMENTS OF CHAIN INTERPENETRATION OF POLYMER GLASSES

The concept of entanglement provides the basis of our current understanding of the flow behavior of polymer melts, Current techniques developed to investigate the degree of interpenetration of polymer chains only provide indirectly the information of the degree of entanglement in a relatively large scale （several to tens of nanometer）. In this article, we report ^1H-NMR spectroscopy with dipolar filters under fast magic angle spinning for probing chain interpenetration of polymer glasses at the molecular level.     

Development of B‐doped Si multiple delta‐layer reference materials for SIMS profiling

B‐doped Si multiple delta‐layers (MDL) were developed as certified reference materials (CRM) for secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) depth profiling analysis. Two CRMs with different delta‐layer spacing were grown by ion beam sputter deposition (IBSD). The nominal spacing of the MDL for shallow junction analysis is 10 nm and that for high energy SIMS is 50 nm. The total thickness of the film was certified by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR‐TEM). The B‐doped Si MDLs can be used to evaluate SIMS depth resolution and to calibrate the depth scale. A consistency check of the calibration of stylus profilometers for measurement of sputter depth is another possible application. The crater depths measured by a stylus profilometer showed a good linear relationship with the thickness measured from SIMS profiling using the calibrated film thickness for depth scale calibration. The sputtering rate of the amorphous Si thin film grown by sputter deposition was found to be the same as that of the crystalline Si substrate, which means that the sputtering rate measured with these CRMs can be applied to a real analysis of crystalline Si.

New 11-Methoxymethylgermacranolides from the Whole Plant of Carpesium divaricatum

Eight new 11-methoxymethylgermacranolides (1–8) were isolated from the ethanol extract of the whole plant of Carpesium divaricatum. The planar structures and relative configurations of the new compounds were determined by detailed spectroscopic analysis. The absolute configuration of 1 was established by electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectrum and X-ray crystallographic analysis, and the stereochemistry of the new compounds 2–8 were determined by similar ECD data with 1. The absolute configurations of 5 and 7 were further confirmed by using quantum chemical electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Compound 4 exhibited weak cytotoxicity against MCF-7 cells. Compound 8 could potently decrease PGE2 productions in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells.     

不同地区大气光学湍流内外尺度测量

 用光学湍流参数自动测量系统对内陆地区和沿海地区光学湍流内外尺度进行了大量的实验观测。分析了湍流尺度的日变化规律,给出了其频数分布。结果表明：两地内尺度的均值为十几mm,外尺度的均值约为2 m;内陆地区内尺度日变化趋势较为复杂,而外尺度的日变化趋势与湍流强度十分相似;沿海地区内外尺度与湍流强度均无明显关系。大气湍流尺度的大小和分布状态是随时间和空间变化的,因此,在估算实际大气湍流对光学系统的影响时,需要实测湍流尺度以便得到准确的结果。     

多种超分辨荧光成像技术比较和进展评述

所见即所得是生命科学研究的中心哲学,贯穿在不断认识单个分子、分子复合体、分子动态行为和整个分子网络的历程中.活的动态的分子才是有功能的,这决定了荧光显微成像在生命科学研究中成为不可替代的工具.但是当荧光成像聚焦到分子水平的时候,所见并不能给出想要得到的.这个障碍是由于受光学衍射极限的限制,荧光显微镜无法在衍射受限的空间...     

稳定分层湍流中逆梯度输运的关联分析研究

本文采用关联分析方法研究了稳定温度分层湍流中的结构特性、输运特性,以及热量、动量逆梯度输运现象的尺度效应及其参数演化.首先采用大涡模拟方法对稳定分层湍流中的结构特性和输运特性进行了分析,将逆梯度输运发生的时间尺度作为已知条件,结合关联量分析方法在波数空间中的解析解,对逆梯度输运现象的尺度效应进行了分析研究.结果发现,稳定分层强度较大的流动中发生垂向热量及动量逆梯度输运现象,发生的结构尺度与关联分析所发现垂向热量、动量逆梯度输运的波数形成了呼应.随着分层强度增加,热量、动量的输运强度均受抑制,与逆梯度输运关联的流场结构尺度减小,同样的效应也发生在流场结构向下游演化的过程中.
