The weakly pinned single crystals of the hexagonal 2H-NbSe2 compound have emerged as prototypes for determining and characterizing the phase boundaries of the possible order-disorder
transformations in the vortex matter. We present here a status report based on the ac and dc magnetization measurements of
the peak effect phenomenon in three crystals of 2H-NbSe2, in which the critical current densities vary over two orders of magnitude. We sketch the generic vortex phase diagram of
a weakly pinned superconductor, which also utilizes theoretical proposals. We also establish the connection between the metastability
effects and pinning. 相似文献

In subnormal glow discharge under d.c. excitation at different pressure in a varying transverse magnetic field (0 to 30 G)
some measurements have been carried out for various initial average tube currents. The voltage across the discharge increases
and average tube current and residual current decreases in the magnetic field. With the help of Beckman’s expression [4] for
the axial field and the electron density distribution in a transverse magnetic field the observed variation of current and
voltage can be satisfactorily explained. The variation of axial electric field with transverse magnetic field can be represented
to a fair degree of accuracy by the derived equation. The behaviour of residual current with magnetic field has been observed
in these oscillations. 相似文献

An integral equation formulation for buoyancy-driven convection problems is developed and illustrated. Buoyancy-driven convection in a bounded cylindrical geometry with a free surface is studied for a range of aspect ratios and Nusselt numbers. The critical Rayleigh number, the nature of the cellular motion, and the heat transfer enhancement are computed using linear theory. Green's functions are used to convert the linear problem into linear Fredholm integral equations. Theorems are proved which establish the properties of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the linear integral operator which appears in these equations. 相似文献

Poly[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate-b-2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine] (DMA-MPC) is currently under investigation as a new vector candidate for gene therapy. The DMA block has been previously demonstrated to condense DNA effectively. The MPC block contains a phosphorylcholine (PC) headgroup, which can be found naturally in the outside of the cell membrane. This PC-based polymer is extremely hydrophilic and acts as a biocompatible steric stabilizer. In this study, we assess in detail the morphologies of DNA complexes obtained using the diblock copolymer series DMA(x)MPC30 (where the mean degree of polymerization of the MPC block was fixed at 30 and the DMA block length was systematically varied) using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and liquid atomic force microscopy (AFM). Both techniques indicate more compact complex morphologies (more efficient condensation) as the length of the cationic DMA block increases. However, the detailed morphologies of the DMA(x)MPC30-DNA complexes observed by TEM in vacuo and by AFM in aqueous medium are different. This phenomena is believed to be related to the highly hydrophilic nature of the MPC block. TEM studies revealed that the morphology of the complexes changes from loosely condensed structures to highly condensed rods, toroids, and oval-shaped particles as the DMA moiety increases. In contrast, morphological changes from plectonemic loops to flower-like and rectangular block-like structures, with an increase in highly condensed central regions, are observed by in situ AFM studies. The relative population of each structure is clearly dependent on the polymer molecular composition. Enzymatic degradation assays revealed that only the DMA homopolymer provided effective DNA protection against DNase I degradation, while other highly condensed copolymer complexes, as judged from TEM and gel electrophoresis, only partially protected the DNA. However, AFM images indicated that the same highly condensed complexes have less condensed regions, which we believe to be the initiation sites for enzymatic attack. This indicates that the open structures observed by AFM of the DNA complexation by the DMA(x)MPC30 copolymer series are closer to in vivo morphology when compared to TEM. 相似文献

Previously, we reported that proteomic fingerprints were present in sera of patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and could separate patients into subgroups with different prognoses. In the present study, we examined the prognostic values of the SARS-associated proteomic features by biostatistical analysis, and deciphered the identities of those with prognostic values. Data of 20 SARS-associated serum proteomic features and ten serological variables from 38 SARS adult patients before treatment were subjected to multivariate logistic regression. Proteomic features of m/z 6634, m/z 7769, m/z 8635, and m/z 8865 were identified as independent prognostic markers. After purification by cation-exchange chromatography and gel electrophoresis, proteomic features of m/z 7769 and m/z 8865 were found to be platelet factor 4 (PF4) and beta-thromboglobulin (beta-TG) by tandem mass spectrometry, respectively. The associations of decreased serum PF4 and increased serum beta-TG levels with poor prognosis were confirmed by Western blot. Previous studies suggest that PF4 and beta-TG are involved in the pathogenesis of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in a negative and positive way, respectively. Our results suggest that PF4 and beta-TG may also play similar roles in the development of ARDS in SARS patients. 相似文献

The interactions of amylose tris(3,5-dime- thylphenylcarbamate) (ADMPC, commercially “Chiralpak AD”) with 10 simple solutes—1-propanol,
heptane, heptanol, benzene, propylbenzene, benzyl alcohol, pyridine, tetrahydrofuran, diethylamine, and aniline—are studied
using attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy (ATR-IR) of thin polymer films, DFT modeling, and high performance
liquid chromatography (HPLC). ATR-IR is used to determine the changes in the hydrogen bonding states of the C=O and NH groups
of the polymer amide I and II bands upon absorption of each of the solutes at 25∘C. DFT modeling with B3LYP/6-311+g(d,p) level of theory is used to predict the IR wavenumbers, the H-bonding interaction energies,
and the hydrogen bonding distances of the polymer side-chains with certain solute molecules. The capacity factors of these
solutes with ADMPC have been measured at 25∘C in hexane/isopropanol (95/5, v/v) solvent. From IR data and DFT modeling, we conclude that the C=O and NH are key binding
sites of the polymer and interact with the functional groups of various solutes. The capacity factors are understood on the
basis of hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic, and dipole-dipole interactions of the C=O, NH, and phenyl groups of the sorbent with
OH, NH, NH2, O, phenyl, and N functional groups of the solutes. 相似文献

We observe non-monotonic development of the 13C magnetization in polycrystalline samples of glycine, sucrose, and adamantine during cross-polarization. We demonstrate, by fitting the time dependence, that the development quantitatively results from dipolar oscillations. To fit the data quantitatively requires one to assume two types of spin-diffusion behavior. 相似文献

Capillary electrpphoresis (CE)/electrochemical detection (EC) for the simultane-ous determination of hydrazine and isoniazid has been developed.The electrochemical method uses a novel modified electrode dispersed with ultrafine platinum particles on the surface of a 30μm carbon fiber microelectrode.The unique characteristic of the Pt-particles modified carbon fiber microelectrode is its excellent stability.The current measurement for hydrazine is more sensitive than that of isoniazid.Selective determination of trace amount of free hydrazine in isoniazid and its formulation can be achieved at applied potential of 0.5V. 相似文献

Using a novel differential magneto-optical imaging technique we investigate the phenomenon of vortex lattice melting in crystals
of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 (BSCCO). The images of melting reveal complex patterns in the formation and evolution of the vortex solid-liquid interface
with varying field (H)/temperature (T). We believe that the complex melting patterns are due to a random distribution of material disorder/inhomogeneities across
the sample, which create fluctuations in the local melting temperature or field value. To study the fluctuations in the local
melting temperature/field, we have constructed maps of the melting landscape T
m(H, r), viz., the melting temperature (T
m) at a given location (r) in the sample at a given field (H). A study of these melting landscapes reveals an unexpected feature: the melting landscape is not fixed, but changes rather
dramatically with varying field and temperature along the melting line. It is concluded that the changes in both the scale
and shape of the landscape result from the competing contributions of different types of quenched disorder which have opposite
effects on the local melting transition. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate the cytotoxic and apoptotic effects of Nephelium ramboutan-ake (pulasan) rind in selected human cancer cell lines. The crude ethanol extract and fractions (ethyl acetate and aqueous) of N. ramboutan-ake inhibited the growth of HT-29, HCT-116, MDA-MB-231, Ca Ski cells according to MTT assays. The N. ramboutan-ake aqueous fraction (NRAF) was found to exert the greatest cytotoxic effect against HT-29 in a dose-dependent manner. Evidence of apoptotic cell death was revealed by features such as chromatin condensation, nuclear fragmentation and apoptotic body formation. The result from a TUNEL assay strongly suggested that NRAF brings about DNA fragmentation in HT-29 cells. Phosphatidylserine (PS) externalization on the outer leaflet of plasma membranes was detected with annexin V-FITC/PI binding, confirming the early stage of apoptosis. The mitochondrial permeability transition is an important step in the induction of cellular apoptosis, and the results clearly suggested that NRAF led to collapse of mitochondrial transmembrane potential in HT-29 cells. This attenuation of mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm) was accompanied by increased production of ROS and depletion of GSH, an increase of Bax protein expression, and induced-activation of caspase-3/7 and caspase-9. These combined results suggest that NRAF induces mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis. 相似文献
