Changes in the physicochemical properties of transferrin upon chemical derivatization with ceramides

The interaction of native and derivatized transferrin with lecithin, cholesterol and their mixtures was studied using monomolecular layers of phospholipids. Moreover, the thermodynamic parameters corresponding to these interactions: the mixing excess free energy, interaction energy, and interaction parameter were also calculated.The ability of these two proteins to insert into monolayers was studied working at constant area.The formation of aggregates or secondary structures in solution was determined by the fluorescence and polarization values of ANS (anilinonaphthalene sulfonate), measured at different protein/ANS relationships.Abbreviations TF Transferrin - DTF derivatized transferrin - PC lecithin - CHOL cholesterol - CER ceramides - ANS anilinonaphthalene sulfonate - TNBS trinitro benzenesulfonate method     

离散小波变换-遗传算法-交互检验法用于近红外光谱数据的高倍压缩与变量筛选

用遗传算法(GA)与交互检验(CV)相结合建立了一种用于对近红外光谱(NIR)数据及其离散小波变换(DWT)系数进行变量筛选的方法，并应用于烟草样品中总挥发碱和总氮的同时测定。结果表明：NIR数据经DWT压缩为原始大小的3．3％时基本没有光谱信息的丢失；有效的变量筛选可以极大地减少模型中的变量个数，降低模型的复杂程度，改善预测的准确度。     

Improved quantification limits in chiral capillary electrochromatography by peak compression effects

The peak compression effect has been applied to improve quantification limits in chiral capillary electrochromatography (CEC). A stationary phase based on the chiral selector vancomycin (Chirobiotic V) was used for separations of the enantiomers of mianserin. By adding solvents with a low dielectric constant, e.g. 2-propanol or tetrahydrofuran, to the sample solution, peak compression could be induced. The plate numbers for the minor enantiomer increased from approximately 100,000 to 1.4-1.6 million plates/m, when the composition of the mobile phase was adjusted so that the analyte eluted within either one of two system zones originating from the sample solution. A 10-fold improvement in the quantification limit for the minor enantiomer was obtained compared to elution under non-focused conditions.     

Orientation-reversing involutions on handlebodies

The observation that the quotient orbifold of an orientation- reversing involution on a 3-dimensional handlebody has the structure of a compression body leads to a strong classification theorem, and general structure theorems. The structure theorems decompose the action along invariant discs into actions on handlebodies which preserve the -fibers of some -bundle structure. As applications, various results of R. Nelson are proved without restrictive hypotheses.

     

New dynamic axial compression columns with means for monitoring floating adapter position. Column design and utilisation in low pressure LC on soft packings

Summary The design of new dynamic, axial-compression columns with a system for continous packed bed adjustment and monitoring of the floating adapter position is described. The columns are meant for liquid chromatography at low pressures (up to 8 bar) in aqueous and organic media with stationary phases of all types. The columns have adapter position pickups for continuous automatic monitoring of the bed height (original “swellographic” monitoring). The column described with gas pressurisation was tested with soft Sephadex G-10 and G-25. In spite of the reduction in external porosity there was no dramatic increase in back-pressure. The column proved to provide long-term stability of the packed bed and improvement in resolution. Presented at the 21^st ISC held in Stuttgart, Germany, 15^th–20^th September, 1996     

Two-dimensional commensurate soliton structures

A phase diagram of pinned soliton structures in two dimensions has been found for a repulsive interactionU(x) between solitons withU(x)>0. The critical fugacity of the commensurate soliton structure is shown to be proportional toU(l), wherel is the period of this structure.     

弛豫理论对离子交换毛细管电色谱中峰压缩现象的研究

 在毛细管电色谱中,由于溶质在输运过程中所具有的电性质,常会产生一些特殊的现象。这些现象,如离子交换毛细管电色谱中产生超高柱效峰的现象,已经不能用一般的色谱理论加以解释。基于弛豫理论所建立的基本模型,在考虑溶质在两相中皆有可能发生正、反向迁移的情况下,得到了流出曲线一阶原点矩和二阶中心矩的理论表达式,并通过对溶质在两相中电扩散速率与电泳速率、电渗流速率关系的分析结果证实:溶质在固定相表面的电扩散行为可以使其保留变弱,出峰加快;而这种电扩散导致的超常柱效峰的出现具有不稳定性,只有在多方面因素综合影响匹配的情况下才可能出现。     

准等熵压缩流场反演技术研究

 与一般流体力学计算中将流体力学方程组进行空间离散、再进行时间推进计算不同,采用Hayes提出的流场反演方法,将流体力学方程组进行时间离散,然后将VISAR测量得到的样品后自由面速度历史作为输入数据,再进行空间的反演计算。与一般流体力学计算进行了比较,并与柏劲松设计的Pillow飞片撞击铜样品实验的计算结果作了比较,该方法反演出的样品加载面处的压力历史与其计算结果基本一致,通过参数优化方法多次进行反积分计算调试出的等熵压缩线具有较高的可信度。     

A Generalized Method and Exact Solutions in Bose-Einstein Condensates in an Expulsive Parabolic Potential

In the paper, a generalized sub-equation method is presented to construct some exact analytical solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations. Making use of the method, we present rich exact analytical solutions of the onedimensional nonlinear Schr(o)dinger equation which describes the dynamics of solitons in Bose-Einstein condensates with time-dependent atomic scattering length in an expulsive parabolic potential. The solutions obtained include not only non-traveling wave and coefficient function's soliton solutions, but also Jacobi elliptic function solutions and Weierstrass elliptic function solutions. Some plots are given to demonstrate the properties of some exact solutions under the Feshbachmanaged nonlinear coefficient and the hyperbolic secant function coefficient.     

Demonstration of Inverse Scattering Transform for DNLS Equation

Since the Jost solutions of the DNLS equation does not tend to the free Jost solutioins as |λ| →∞, the usual inverse scattering transform (IST) must be revised. Beside the Kaup and Newell's approach, we propose a simple revision in constructing the equations of IST, where the usual Zakharov-Shabat kern is revised by multiplying λ-2 or λ-1. To justify the revision we show that the Jost solutions obtained do satisfy the pair of compatibility equations.
