Bianchi type-III magnetized cosmological model when the field of gravitation is governed by either a perfect fluid or cosmic
string is investigated in Rosen’s [1] bimetric theory of gravitation. To complete determinate solution, the condition, viz.,
A=(BC)n, where n is a constant, between the metric potentials is used. We have assumed different equations of state for cosmic string [2]
for the complete solution of the model. Some physical and geometrical properties of the exhibited model are discussed and
studied. 相似文献
A simplified high-pressure liquid chromatograhic method for determination of furosemide in plasma and urine has been developed using a fluorometric detector directly coupled to the column effluent. The method includes an ether extraction from acidified biologic samples. The mobile phase used for chromatography on a reversed-phase column (C15 hydrocarbon permanently bonded to silica particles) is sufficiently acidic to induce fluorescence of furosemide. The methylester of furosemide is employed as an internal standard. The sensitivity is 0.1 and 0.25 microgram per ml plasma and urine, respectively. The applicability to pharmacokinetic studies of furosemide is shown. 相似文献
We demonstrate the application of a modified form of the configurational-bias algorithm for the simulation of chain molecules on the second-nearest-neighbor-diamond lattice. Using polyethylene and poly(ethylene-oxide) as model systems we show that the present configurational-bias algorithm can increase the speed of the equilibration by at least a factor of 2-3 or more as compared to the previous method of using a combination of single-bead and pivot moves along with the Metropolis sampling scheme [N. Metropolis, A. W. Rosenbluth, M. N. Rosenbluth, A. H. Teller, and E. Teller, J. Chem. Phys. 21, 1087 (1953)]. The increase in the speed of the equilibration is found to be dependent on the interactions (i.e., the polymer being simulated) and the molecular weight of the chains. In addition, other factors not considered, such as the density, would also have a significant effect. The algorithm is an extension of the conventional configurational-bias method adapted to the regrowth of interior segments of chain molecules. Appropriate biasing probabilities for the trial moves as outlined by Jain and de Pablo for the configurational-bias scheme of chain ends, suitably modified for the interior segments, are utilized [T. S. Jain and J. J. de Pablo, in Simulation Methods for Polymers, edited by M. Kotelyanskii and D. N. Theodorou (Marcel Dekker, New York, 2004), pp. 223-255]. The biasing scheme satisfies the condition of detailed balance and produces efficient sampling with the correct equilibrium probability distribution of states. The method of interior regrowth overcomes the limitations of the original configurational-bias scheme and allows for the simulation of polymers of higher molecular weight linear chains and ring polymers which lack chain ends. 相似文献

Surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the conventional treatment modalities of cancer though successful are limited by presence of residual tumor cells, toxic side-effects and treatment resistance, thus raising the need for investigating other novel approaches. Here, we have used a cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) jet and assessed the in vitro efficacy in gingivobuccal squamous cell carcinoma (GB-SCC) – ITOC-03, breast adenocarcinoma—MCF7 and HEK293 cells. Cells lines were subjected to varying doses of ionizing radiation (0, 2, 4, 6, 8 Gy) and CAP jet treatment (0, 60, 180, 240, 300 s). CAP jet treatment showed time dependent increase in H2O2 and NO2? concentration. Cell viability assay showed potent effect of CAP jet on all three cell lines in comparison to radiation treatment, while helium gas treatment showed minimal inhibitory effect. Irradiated, CAP jet and helium gas treated cells showed loss of nucleic acid features, 788 cm?1 and 1340 cm?1 in Raman spectra, indicating DNA damage. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) showed distinct classification of CAP-treated and control cells, while Principal Component – Linear Discriminant Analysis (PC-LDA) based classification of Raman spectra showed ITOC-03 and HEK293 cells to be sensitive to CAP jet and radiation treatment in comparison to MCF7 cells. Collectively, cell viability assay and Raman spectroscopy have shown potent effect of CAP jet in GB-SCC and breast adenocarcinoma cells.
Recently we described a coarse-grained model of poly(ethylene oxide) and then employed that model to study the amount of spontaneous threading of cyclic molecules by linear chains in the melt [C. A. Helfer, G. Xu, W. L. Mattice, and C. Pugh, Macromolecules 36, 10071 (2003)]. Since the amount of statistical threading at equilibrium is small, there is interest in identifying physical changes in the system that will increase the threading. We now use that coarse-grained model to investigate the effect on threading of various hypothetical (but feasible) modifications to the two-component system of macrocycles and linear chains in the melt, and different confinement geometries, that can bring about correlations in the arrangement of the rings. Our work follows on the concept of an amphiphilic approach [C. Pugh, J.-Y. Bae, J. R. Scott, and C. L. Wilkins, Macromolecules 30, 8139 (1997)] for increasing the statistical threading in homopolyrotaxane melts. We investigate whether introducing such correlations in the macrocycles can increase the spontaneous threading. This paper shows that some of our modifications can yield more than double the amount of threading seen in purely statistical mixing. 相似文献
We introduce general Monte Carlo simulation methods for determining the wetting and drying properties of model systems. We employ an interface-potential-based approach in which the interfacial properties of a system are related to the surface excess free energy of a thin fluid film in contact with a surface. Two versions of this approach are explored: a "spreading" method focused on the growth of a thin liquid film from a surface in a mother vapor and a "drying" method focused on the growth of a thin vapor film from a surface in a mother liquid. The former provides a direct measure of the spreading coefficient while the latter provides an analogous drying coefficient. When coupled with an independent measure of the liquid-vapor surface tension, these coefficients enable one to compute the contact angle. We also show how one can combine information gathered from application of the spreading and drying methods at a common state point to obtain direct measures of the contact angle and liquid-vapor surface tension. The computational strategies introduced here are applied to two model systems. One includes a monatomic Lennard-Jones fluid that interacts with a structureless substrate via a long-ranged substrate potential. The second model contains a monatomic Lennard-Jones fluid that interacts with an atomistically detailed substrate via a short-ranged potential. Expanded ensemble techniques are coupled with the interface potential approach to compile the temperature- and substrate strength-dependence of various interfacial properties for these systems. Overall, we find that the approach pursued here provides an efficient and precise means to calculate the wetting and drying properties of model systems. 相似文献
