Background
In learning and memory tasks, requiring visual spatial memory (VSM), males exhibit superior performance to females (a difference attributed to the hormonal influence of estrogen). This study examined the influence of phytoestrogens (estrogen-like plant compounds) on VSM, utilizing radial arm-maze methods to examine varying aspects of memory. Additionally, brain phytoestrogen, calbindin (CALB), and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) levels were determined. 相似文献2.

A new generation of experimental techniques quantifies the gas–surface reactivity of polyatomic reactants prepared in a single quantum state. These experiments eliminate internal state averaging and permit reactivity measurements on molecules with well-defined internal and translational energy. Varying the identity of the selected vibrational and rotational state and the molecule’s translational energy reveals how energy in specific energetic coordinates promotes reaction. When applied to methane’s dissociative chemisorption, which is rate-limiting in the industrial steam reforming reaction, these experiments reveal the molecular basis for activation, and they provide detailed insight into energy flow dynamics prior to reaction. This review will focus on experiments that quantify the reactivity of methane prepared in select rovibrational quantum states via optical excitation in a supersonic molecular beam. An overview will provide context, and a survey of experimental methods will emphasize features unique to these experiments. A presentation and discussion of state-resolved beam-surface scattering studies of methane activation on Ni(1 1 1), Ni(1 0 0), and Pt(1 1 1) will highlight the mechanistic and dynamical insights that such studies can provide. For example, while C–H stretching excitation best promotes transition state access on Ni(1 1 1) and Ni(1 0 0), bending excitation also activates dissociation, suggesting that many different energetic coordinates contribute to reactivity. Among those states studied, non-statistical behavior, including vibrational mode-specific and even bond-selective chemistry, is widespread, which indicates that the assumptions underlying statistical rate theories do not apply to this reaction. We examine the relevant timescales for energy exchange and reaction to provide a plausible explanation for the observation of non-statistical behavior. Finally, we suggest how these methods, and the results they have produced, might guide future work in the field. 相似文献

The flow of energy from the impact site of a heavy, translationally energetic xenon atom on an ice surface leads to several non-equilibrium events. The central focus of this paper is on the collision-induced desorption (sputtering) of water molecules into the gas-phase from the ice surface. Sputtering is strongly activated with respect to xenon translational energy, and a threshold for desorption was observed. To best understand these results, we discuss our findings in the context of other sputtering studies of molecular solids. The sputtering yield is quite small; differential measurements of the energy of xenon scattered from ice surfaces show that the ice efficiently accommodates the collisional energy. These results are important as they quantitatively elucidate the dynamics of such sputtering events, with implications for energetic non-equilibrium processes at interfaces. 相似文献

In this paper Jeffery–Hamel flow has been studied and its nonlinear ordinary differential equation has been solved through homotopy analysis method (HAM). The obtained solution in comparison with the numerical ones represents a remarkable accuracy. The results also indicate that HAM can provide us with a convenient way to control and adjust the convergence region. 相似文献

State-resolved measurements on clean Ni(100) and Ni(111) surfaces quantify the reactivity of CH4 excited to v = 3 of the nu4 bend vibration. A comparison with prior data reveals that 3nu4 is significantly less effective than the nu3 C-H stretch at promoting dissociative chemisorption, even though 3nu4 contains 30% more energy. These results contradict statistical theories of gas-surface reactivity, provide clear evidence for vibrational mode specificity in a gas-surface reaction, and point to a central role for C-H stretching motion along the reaction path to dissociative chemisorption. 相似文献

Background
Soy-derived isoflavones potentially protect against obesity and depression. In five different studies we examined the influence of soy-containing diets or equol injections on depression, serotonin levels, body weight gain (BW) and white adipose tissue (WAT) deposition in female Long-Evans rats at various stages of life [rats were intact, ovariectomized or experienced natural ovarian failure (NOF)]. 相似文献9.

The sticking coefficient for D(2)O impinging on crystalline D(2)O ice was determined for incident translational energies between 0.3 and 0.7 eV and for H(2)O on crystalline H(2)O ice at 0.3 eV. These experiments were done using directed molecular beams, allowing for precise control of the incident angle and energy. Experiments were also performed to measure the intensity and energy of the scattered molecules as a function of scattering angle. These results show that the sticking coefficient was near unity, slightly increasing with decreasing incident energy. However, even at the lowest incident energy, some D(2)O did not stick and was scattered from the ice surface. We observe under these conditions that the sticking probability asymptotically approaches but does not reach unity for water sticking on water ice. We also present evidence that the scattered fraction is consistent with a binary collision; the molecules are scattered promptly. These results are especially relevant for condensation processes occurring under nonequilibrium conditions, such as those found in astrophysical systems. 相似文献

By using a fluorescent exonuclease assay, we reported unusual electrophoretic mobility of 5′‐indocarbo‐cyanine 5 (5′‐Cy5) labelled DNA fragments in denaturing polyacrylamide gels. Incubation time and enzyme concentration were two parameters involved in the formation of 5′‐Cy5‐labelled degradation products, while the structure of the substrate was slightly interfering. Replacement of positively charged 5′‐Cy5‐labelled DNA oligonucleotides (DNA oligos) by electrically neutral 5′‐carboxyfluorescein (5′‐FAM) labelled DNA oligos abolished the anomalous migration pattern of degradation products. MS analysis demonstrated that anomalously migrating products were in fact 5′‐labelled DNA fragments ranging from 1 to 8 nucleotides. Longer 5′‐Cy5‐labelled DNA fragments migrated at the expected position. Altogether, these data highlighted, for the first time, the influence of the mass/charge ratio of 5′‐Cy5‐labelled DNA oligos on their electrophoretic mobility. Although obtained by performing 3′ to 5′ exonuclease assays with the family B DNA polymerase from Pyrococcus abyssi, these observations represent a major concern in DNA technology involving most DNA degrading enzymes. 相似文献
