基于SRS优先级划分及时移传输机制的SL空口同步方案

在LTE-V2X（long term evolution-vehicle to everything）系统中,存在部分车载用户无法获取基站的同步参考信号（synchronization reference signal,SRS）,从而无法与网络进行通信的问题。为解决这一问题,提出一种副链接（sidelink,SL）空口同步方案。车载用户根据SRS优先级划分机制选择最优的SRS,同时可获取该SRS的优先级以及确定自身发送SRS的优先级;并设计SRS时移传输机制使得不同优先级SRS在不同时帧上传输来区分优先级,与此同时还可有效抑制同频干扰。仿真结果显示,该方案在同步源优先级为 4 个等级时,同步定时误差均满足车载用户的同步需求。本文所提方案不仅扩大了空口同步范围,还可以有效抑制车载用户之间的同频干扰,可作为LTE-V2X系统实现有效可行的空口同步方案之一。     

Development of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)-like fluorescence assay to investigate the interactions of glycosaminoglycans to cells

Sulfated glycosaminoglycans were labeled with biotin to study their interaction with cells in culture. Thus, heparin, heparan sulfate, chondroitin 4-sulfate, chondroitin 6-sulfate and dermatan sulfate were labeled using biotin-hydrazide, under different conditions. The structural characteristics of the biotinylated products were determined by chemical (molar ratios of hexosamine, uronic acid, sulfate and biotin) and enzymatic methods (susceptibility to degradation by chondroitinases and heparitinases). The binding of biotinylated glycosaminoglycans was investigated both in endothelial and smooth muscle cells in culture, using a novel time resolved fluorometric method based on interaction of europium-labeled streptavidin with the biotin covalently linked to the compounds. The interactions of glycosaminoglycans were saturable and number of binding sites could be obtained for each individual compound. The apparent dissociation constant varied among the different glycosaminoglycans and between the two cell lines. The interactions of the biotinylated glycosaminoglycans with the cells were also evaluated using confocal microscopy. We propose a convenient and reliable method for the preparation of biotinylated glycosaminoglycans, as well as a sensitive non-competitive fluorescence-based assay for studies of the interactions and binding of these compounds to cells in culture.     

A new curvularin glycoside and its cytotoxic and antibacterial analogues from marine actinomycete Pseudonocardia sp. HS7

Five curvularin macrolides (1–5) were isolated from the cultured broth of marine actinomycete Pseudonocardia sp. HS7 that was obtained from the cloacal aperture of sea cucumber Holothuria moebii. The structures of these isolates were characterized as (11S,15R)-11-hydroxycurvularin (1), (11R,15R)-11-hydroxycurvularin (2), curvularin-7-O-α-D-glucopyranoside (3), trans-dehydrocurvularin (4) and curvularin (5) based on their NMR and HRESIMS data as well as chemical degradation. Compound 3 is a new macrolide with a rare α-D-glucopyranose substituent. Compounds 1–4, 5a and 5c (the acyl products of 5), suppressed the proliferation of all six tested cancer cell lines and 4 is the most active compound with IC₅₀ values ranging from 0.59 to 3.39 μM. The 11-hydroxycurvularins 1 and 2 also showed antibacterial activity inhibiting the growth of Escherichia coli.     

Determination of N-methyl-4-isoleucine-cyclosporin (NIM811) in human whole blood by high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry

A liquid chromatographic method with tandem mass spectrometric detection (LC-MS/MS) for the determination of N-methyl-4-isoleucine-cyclosporin (NIM811) was developed and validated over the concentration range 1-2500 ng/mL in human whole blood using a 0.05 mL sample volume. NIM811 and the internal standard, d(12)-cyclosporin A (d(12)-CsA), were extracted from blood using MTBE via liquid-liquid extraction. After evaporation of the organic solvent and reconstitution, a 10 microL aliquot of the resulting extract was injected onto the LC-MS/MS system. Chromatographic separation of NIM811 and internal standard was performed using a Waters Symmetry RP-8 (50 x 4.6 mm, 3 microm particle size) column. The mobile phase consists of 10 mm ammonium acetate in water (A) and acetonitrile (B), with 45% B from 0 to 0.2 min, 45 to 85% B from 0.2 to 0.8 min and 85% B from 0.8 to 2.2 min. The total run time was 3.5 min with a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. The method was validated for sensitivity, linearity, reproducibility, stability, dilution integrity and recovery. The precision and accuracy of quality control samples at low (2.00 ng/mL), medium (20.0 and 400 ng/mL) and high (2000 ng/mL) concentrations were in the range 1.1-4.3% relative standard deviation (RSD) and -2.5-10.0% (bias), respectively, from three validation runs. The method has been used to measure the exposure of NIM811 in human subjects.     

Analysis of Wine Bouquet Components Using Headspace Solid-Phase Microextraction-Capillary Gas Chromatography

Headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS/SPME) was studied and optimized for the capillary gas chromatographic (CGC) analysis of wine aroma compounds. The results were compared with those obtained using the direct sampling mode (DI/SPME) and using liquid/liquid extraction with Kaltron. The aromatic patterns obtained by HS/SPME-CGC were applied to the chemometric classification of wine varieties. The HS/SPME-CGC standard additional method is an appropriate technique for the quantitative analysis of volatile wine aroma compounds.     

Analysis on Patterns of Globally Coupled Phase Oscillators with Attractive and Repulsive Interactions

The Hong-Strogatz (HS) model of globally coupled phase oscillators with attractive and repulsive interactions reflects the fact that each individual (oscillator) has its own attitude (attractive or repulsive) to the same environment (mean field). Previous studies on HS model focused mainly on the stable states on Ott-Antonsen (OA) manifold. In this paper, the eigenvalues of the Jacobi matrix of each fixed point in HS model are explicitly derived, with the aim to understand the local dynamics around each fixed point. Phase transitions are described according to relative population and coupling strength. Besides, the dynamics off OA manifold is studied.     

Analysis of anaesthetics and analgesics in human urine by headspace SPME and GC

The determination of widely used anaesthetic and analgesic drugs in biological fluids is of major clinical importance. Typical methods used for sample preparation employ liquid–liquid extraction protocols which are complex, costly, not handy and not amenable to automation. In the present communication, we report the development of a methodology that employs headspace solid‐phase microextraction (HS‐SPME) for the determination of four anaesthetic (lidocaine, midazolam, diazepam and ketamine) and three analgesic drugs (fentanyl, remifentanyl and codeine) in human urine. Important parameters controlling SPME were studied: selection of SPME fibre, type and amount of salt added, preheating and extraction time, extraction temperature, sample volume and desorption time. GC with nitrogen phosphorus detection (GC‐NPD) facilitates sensitive and selective detection of the anaesthetics. The developed method renders an efficient tool for the precise and sensitive determination of the anaesthetics and analgesics in human urine (RSDs ranged from 7.7 to 12.6%, whereas LODs ranged from 0.01 to 1.5 ng/mL). The method was applied to the determination of the anaesthetics and analgesics in human urine from patients that had undergone coronary by‐pass surgery operations. The proposed protocol can function as an attractive alternative for clinical acute intoxications and medico‐legal cases.     

HS+HO2气相反应机理及主通道速率常数的理论研究

采用CCSD(T)/6-311++G(3df, 2pd)//B3LYP/6-311+G(2df, 2p)双水平计算方法构建了HO₂+HS反应体系的单、三重态反应势能面,并对该反应主通道的速率常数进行了研究。研究结果表明,标题反应经历了八条反应通道,其中三重态反应通道R1是标题反应主通道。此通道包含路径Path 1 (R → ³IM1 → ³TS1 → P1(³O₂+H₂S))和Path 1a (R → ³IM1a → ³TS1a → P1(³O₂+H₂S))两条路径。利用经典过渡态理论(TST)与变分过渡态理论(CVT)并结合小曲率隧道效应模型(SCT),分别计算了主路径Path 1和Path 1a在200-800 K温度范围内的速率常数k^TST、k^CVT和k^CVT/SCT,在此温度区间内路径Path 1和Path 1a具有负温度系数效应。速率常数计算结果显示,对主路径Path 1和Path 1a而言,变分效应在计算温度段内有一定影响,与此同时量子力学隧道效应在低温段有显著影响。路径Path 1和Path 1a的CVT/SCT速率常数的三参数表达式分别为k₁^CVT/SCT(200-800 K) = 1.54×10^-5T^-2.70exp(1154/T) cm³ ·molecule^-1·s^-1和k_1a^CVT/SCT(200-800 K) = 5.82×10^-8T^-1.84exp(1388/T) cm³·molecule^-1·s^-1。     

The convergence rate of a three-term HS method with restart strategy for unconstrained optimization problems

Although the Hesteness and Stiefel (HS) method is a well-known method, if an inexact line search is used, researches about its convergence rate are very rare. Recently, Zhang, Zhou and Li [Some descent three-term conjugate gradient methods and their global convergence, Optim. Method Softw. 22 (2007), pp. 697–711] proposed a three-term Hestenes–Stiefel method for unconstrained optimization problems. In this article, we investigate the convergence rate of this method. We show that the three-term HS method with the Wolfe line search will be n-step superlinearly and even quadratically convergent if some restart technique is used under reasonable conditions. Some numerical results are also reported to verify the theoretical results. Moreover, it is more efficient than the previous ones.     

Voltammetric Detection of a Specific DNA Sequence of Avian Influenza Virus H5N1 Using HS‐ssDNA Probe Deposited onto Gold Electrode

The working principle of a genosensor is based on the mechanism of ion‐channel mimetic sensors. The analytical signals generated upon hybridization processes were recorded by a redox active marker [Fe(CN)₆]^3?/4? present in the sample solution using voltammetric techniques. The developed genosensor was suitable for determination of 20‐mer complementary oligonucleotide sequence, and also of the PCR products containing the complementary 20‐mer sequence in various positions, with detection limits in the 10 pM range. The noncomplementary 20‐mer oligonucleotide sequence as well as the PCR product without complementary region generated very weak response. The good discrimination of the position of the complementary part in the PCR products was observed.
