Probing in vitro digestion at oil–water interfaces

Interfacial layers have been widely applied to study the formation and stability of emulsion-based systems. However, the application of isolated interfaces to address digestibility of emulsions is often limited because of the complexity of experimental methods and results. This review summarizes the latest developments in analytical methods and literature data on effects of digestion on interfacial layers. Particular emphasis is given to understand the changes on interfacial magnitudes during oral, gastric, and duodenal digestion, either applied separately or sequentially. Limitations of interfacial aspects and key factors that influence emulsion microstructure in bulk and lipid digestion are identified. Understanding the behavior of interfacial layers upon gastrointestinal digestion promotes an accurate tracking of the physiological fate of emulsions.     

Scaling Function Between the Exponential-6 and the Generalized Lennard-Jones Potential Functions

The van der Waals forces for non-bonded interaction can be expressed either by the Exponential-6 or by the Lennard-Jones(m-n) potential functions, whereby m > n. Hitherto a relationship exists between the Exponential-6 and the Lennard-Jones(12-6) potential functions, with a scaling factor = 13.772 at or near the equilibrium and = 12.0 for long range interaction. This paper attempts to develop relationships between Exponential-6 and a more generalized Lennard-Jones(m-n). Analysis reveals that the relationship exists only when n = 6 and that two sets of scaling factors (as functions of index m) applies for the relationship between Exponential-6 and the Lennard-Jones(m-6), whereby m > 6.     

邻菲啰啉对固定尿酸酶催化反应动力学的影响

The activation energy of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction for uric acid decreases markedly in the presence of o-phenanthroline, which activates the bioelectrochemicla activity of the polypyrrole uricase electrode. The response current of the enzyme electrodeis independent of the concentration of o-phenanthroline. Based on the experimental results, the mechamsm of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction for uric acid in the presence of o-phenanthroline is presented as follows: E+A→EA, EA+S EAS, EAS→EA+P, where E, A, S and P are the enzyme, activator, substrate and product, respectively. The effects of pH value, potential and the uric acid concentration on the response currents of the uricase electrode have been studied in the presence of o-phenanthroline. In the presence of o-phenanthroline, the response current of the enzyme electrode increase linearly with increasing concentration of uric acid in the region of 0.07 to 0.67 mmol·L~(-1), therefore the polypyrrole uricase electrode which has once lost its activity can be activated and used again to determine the substrate concentration.

Summary The conformational possibilities of 5-(3-N,N-dimethylaminopropyl)-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptene (1), 5-(3-N,N-dimethylaminopropylidene)-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptene (2), and 5-(3-N,N-dimethylaminopropyl)-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptene (3) are analysed using empirical force field methods. Minimum energy conformations, interconversion pathways, interconversion graphs and interconversion energies are examined in view of the analysis of conformer equilibria of1,2, or3 in solution. In addition, some basic requirements of the analysis of fast interconverting conformers using the lanthanide induced shift method are discussed.

Magnetic behavior of copper diethyldithiocarbamate at low temperatures: A reinvestigation

The title compound, Cu(S₂CNEt₂)₂, behaves at low temperatures (1–20 K) as a normal spin-1/2 molecule, with 〈g〉 =2.06 and the Curie-Weiss θ = +0.25 K. This result contradicts an earlier investigation that led to the suggestion that the crystallographically-occurring dimers are coupled ferromagnetically.

这篇论文综述了美国加州大学戴维斯分校科学院院士Navrotsky课题组多年来在多孔材料上取得的一系列热化学研究结果。讨论了热化学对微孔、介孔材料的结构稳定性和合成过程的影响。借助多种测热手段对影响骨架结构的热焓、热熵和自由能进行了系统的测量和计算。研究数据表明一系列纯硅分子筛、介孔材料和磷酸铝多孔材料同相应的石英相和块磷铝矿相相比能量上最多只高出15 kJ·mol-1。一系列纯硅分子筛的熵值比石英相高出3.2—4.2 J·K-1·mol-1；在0—12.6 J·K-1·mol-1范围内相对应的自由能几乎没有差别。因此，对不同微孔、介孔材料，其骨架结构在能量上是几乎没有区别的。另外，本文通过介绍一种新型测热方法——原位测热，揭示了分子筛合成过程中的动力学和成核/结晶机理。     

Studying dispersoid systems

Summary Measurements of energy transformation in mitochondria are done on a capillary differential titration calorimeter CTD2156. It is important to mention that a sediment is quickly formed by the mitochondria suspension without mixing by means of a vibrating needle. During the measurements, the vibrating needle is located inside the working volume of the chamber. The design of the calorimeter is substantiated theoretically. It provides a new mode of a reagent input in the measuring volume of the calorimetric chambers. It expands the spectrum of tasks that can be solved using this instrument. In the capillary calorimeter the calorimetric chambers unit is simple and small in size. These advantages of capillary chambers provide an opportunity to unite 20 capillary calorimetric chambers in one calorimetric block. It allows designing a multi-channel titration calorimeter. There are obvious advantages of such a calorimeter over other instruments in screening researches and in researches of objects maintaining stability only for a short time.     

尼龙6与半芳香性非晶尼龙原位共混物的结构与性能

一种半芳香的非晶尼龙共聚物溶解于熔融的己内酰胺中,引发后者负离子开环聚合原位制备尼龙6与非晶尼龙的共混物.与纯尼龙6相比较,此原位共混物的强度与模量显著提高.非晶区呈现单一的玻璃化转变,表明共混物为均相体系,其组分的相容性源于负离子聚合过程中链交换反应引起的共聚.与纯尼龙6相比较,此共混物的熔点与结晶度显著降低.此外,与纯尼龙6只存在α晶不同,共混物中伴生有大量的γ晶.当非晶尼龙含量为20 wt%时,绝大部分晶体为γ晶.然而,共混物中球晶仅有一定程度细化.共混物强度和模量的提高被认为主要源于非晶区分子活动能力降低以及γ晶相对含量的提高.
