Breakage of λ-DNA by inorganic tin and organotin compounds as environmental pollutants

In proportion to the environmental pollution problems caused by organotin compounds, the genotoxicities of tin compounds in the environments have become of interest so as to estimate their safety in recent years. In this work, isolated λ-DNA (double-strand DNA) was incubated with inorganic tin(II) and tin(IV) and five organotin compounds [n-butyltin trichloride, di(n-butyltin) dichloride, methyltin trichloride, dimethyltin dichloride and trimethyltin chloride] in reaction systems both with and without hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) content. The tin compounds tested in this study did not induce DNA breakage in the absence of hydrogen peroxide. Divalent inorganic tin (SnCl₂) and tetravalent inorganic tin (SnCl₄) caused DNA breakage in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (10 mM), and the DNA damage activity of inorganic tin was much more potent in divalent inorganic tin (SnCl₂) than in tetravalent inorganic tin (SnCl₄). Divalent inorganic tin (SnCl₂) induced DNA breakage in a concentration-dependent fashion at concentrations greater than 0.1 mM of SnCl₂ in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (10 mM). DNA breakage was not caused by n-butyltin compounds and methyltin compounds either in the presence or in the absence of hydrogen peroxide.

Preparation and characterization of optically active polystyrene via a chiral nitroxide‐mediated polymerization

2,2,6,6‐Tetramethyl‐4‐[d‐(+)‐10‐camphorsulfonyl]‐1‐piperidinyloxy was synthesized and used as a chiral nitroxide for the bulk polymerizations of styrene initiated with benzoyl peroxide (BPO), tetraethylthiuram disulfide (TETD), and thermal initiation. The results showed that the polymerizations proceeded in a controlled/living way; that is, the kinetics presented approximately first‐order plots, and the number‐average molecular weights of the polymers with narrow molecular weight distributions (weight‐average molecular weight/number‐average molecular weight) increased with the monomer conversion linearly. The molecular weight distributions in the case of thermal initiation were narrower than those in the case of BPO and TETD, whereas the polymerization rate with BPO or TETD as an initiator was obviously faster than that with thermal initiation. In addition, successful chain‐extension reactions were carried out, and the structures of the obtained polymers were characterized by gel permeation chromatography and ¹H NMR. The specific rotations of the polymers were also measured by polarimetric analysis. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 44: 1522–1528, 2006

Active set algorithms for isotonic regression; A unifying framework

In this and subsequent papers we will show that several algorithms for the isotonic regression problem may be viewed as active set methods. The active set approach provides a unifying framework for studying algorithms for isotonic regression, simplifies the exposition of existing algorithms and leads to several new efficient algorithms. We also investigate the computational complexity of several algorithms.In this paper we consider the isotonic regression problem with respect to a complete order where eachw _i is strictly positive and eachy _i is an arbitrary real number. We show that the Pool Adjacent Violators algorithm (due to Ayer et al., 1955; Miles, 1959; Kruskal, 1964), is a dual feasible active set method and that the Minimum Lower Set algorithm (due to Brunk et al., 1957) is a primal feasible active set method of computational complexity O(n ²). We present a new O(n) primal feasible active set algorithm. Finally we discuss Van Eeden's method and show that it is of worst-case exponential time complexity.This work was supported by the National Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada under Research Grant A8189 and an Ontario Graduate Scholarship.     

掺杂SrTiO3体系上甲烷氧化偶联反应的研究—活性氧物种的作用

本文采用循环氧化还原法,脉冲反应及TPD等实验手段对钙钛矿型氧化物掺杂SrTiO_3体系上甲烷氧化偶联反应中的活性氧物种的作用进行了研究.结果表明,催化剂由于掺杂产生的未被充分还原的氧物种(O~(α-)(0<α<2)是活化甲烷并促使其发生偶联反应的主要的活性中心,而表面晶格氧(O_L~(2-))则主要使甲烷深度氧化;消耗掉的未被充分还原的氧或晶格氧可以在高温下氧气氛中氧化复原.对于掺杂的SrTiO_3样品,体相中的氧在惰性气氛或还原气氛中可以向表面扩散.吸附氧可能不直接与甲烷作用而主要通过催化剂表面活性氧物种(O~(α-)或O_L~(2-))而起作用.
