Following his seminal work in 1953, Stanley Miller conducted an experiment in 1958 to study the polymerization of amino acids under simulated early Earth conditions. In the experiment, Miller sparked a gas mixture of CH4, NH3, and H2O, while intermittently adding the plausible prebiotic condensing reagent cyanamide. For unknown reasons, an analysis of the samples was not reported. We analyzed the archived samples for amino acids, dipeptides, and diketopiperazines by liquid chromatography, ion mobility spectrometry, and mass spectrometry. A dozen amino acids, 10 glycine‐containing dipeptides, and 3 glycine‐containing diketopiperazines were detected. Miller’s experiment was repeated and similar polymerization products were observed. Aqueous heating experiments indicate that Strecker synthesis intermediates play a key role in facilitating polymerization. These results highlight the potential importance of condensing reagents in generating diversity within the prebiotic chemical inventory. 相似文献

Silver nanoparticles with different sizes (7, 29, and 89 nm mean values) were synthesized using gallic acid in an aqueous
chemical reduction method. The nanoparticles were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light
scattering (DLS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) absorption spectroscopy; the antibacterial activity
was assessed using the standard microdilution method, determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) according to
the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards. From the microscopies studies (TEM) we observed that silver nanoparticles
have spherical (7 and 29 nm) and pseudospherical shape (89 nm) with a narrow size distribution. The sizes of the silver nanoparticles
were controlled by varying some experimental conditions. It was found that the antibacterial activity of the nanoparticles
varies when their size diminishes. 相似文献

A Theoretical and Computational Framework for Isometry Invariant Recognition of Point Cloud Data 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Point clouds are one of the most primitive and fundamental manifold
representations. Popular sources of point clouds are three-dimensional
shape acquisition devices such as laser range scanners. Another
important field where point clouds are found is in the representation
of high-dimensional manifolds by samples. With the increasing
popularity and very broad applications of this source
of data, it is natural and important to work directly with this
representation, without having to go through the intermediate and
sometimes impossible and distorting steps of surface reconstruction.
A geometric framework for comparing manifolds given by point clouds
is presented in this paper. The underlying theory is based on
Gromov-Hausdorff distances, leading to isometry invariant and
completely geometric comparisons. This theory is embedded in a
probabilistic setting as derived from random sampling of manifolds,
and then combined with results on matrices of pairwise geodesic distances
to lead to a computational implementation of the framework. The theoretical and
computational results presented here are complemented with
experiments for real three-dimensional shapes. 相似文献

Acoustic maps are the main diagnostic tools used by authorities for addressing the growing problem of urban acoustic contamination. Geostatistics models phenomena with spatial variation, but restricted to homogeneous prediction regions. The presence of barriers such as buildings introduces discontinuities in prediction areas. In this paper we investigate how to incorporate information of a geographical nature into the process of geostatistical prediction. In addition, we study the use of a Cost-Based distance to quantify the correlation between locations. 相似文献

Atmospheric pressure (AP) matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) is known to suffer from poor ion transfer efficiencies as compared to conventional vacuum MALDI (vMALDI). To mitigate these issues, a new AP‐MALDI ion source utilizing a coaxial gas flow was developed. Nitrogen, helium, and sulfur hexafluoride were tested for their abilities as ion carriers for a standard peptide and small drug molecules. Nitrogen showed the best ion transport efficiency, with sensitivity gains of up to 1900% and 20% for a peptide standard when the target plate voltage was either continuous or pulsed, respectively. The addition of carrier gas not only entrained the ions efficiently but also deflected background species and declustered analyte–matrix adducts, resulting in higher absolute analyte signal intensities and greater signal‐to‐noise (S/N) ratios. With the increased sensitivity of pneumatically assisted (PA) AP‐MALDI, the limits of detection of angiotensin I were 20 or 3 fmols for continuous or pulsed target plate voltage, respectively. For analyzing low‐mass analytes, it was found that very low gas flow rates (0.3–0.6 l min?1) were preferable owing to increased fragmentation at higher gas flows. The analyte lability, type of gas, and nature of the extraction field between the target plate and mass spectrometer inlet were observed to be the most important factors affecting the performance of the in‐line PA‐AP‐MALDI ion source.

This paper discusses certain modifications of the ideas concerning the Gromov–Hausdorff distance which have the goal of modeling and tackling the practical problems of object matching and comparison. Objects are viewed as metric measure spaces, and based on ideas from mass transportation, a Gromov–Wasserstein type of distance between objects is defined. This reformulation yields a distance between objects which is more amenable to practical computations but retains all the desirable theoretical underpinnings. The theoretical properties of this new notion of distance are studied, and it is established that it provides a strict metric on the collection of isomorphism classes of metric measure spaces. Furthermore, the topology generated by this metric is studied, and sufficient conditions for the pre-compactness of families of metric measure spaces are identified. A second goal of this paper is to establish links to several other practical methods proposed in the literature for comparing/matching shapes in precise terms. This is done by proving explicit lower bounds for the proposed distance that involve many of the invariants previously reported by researchers. These lower bounds can be computed in polynomial time. The numerical implementations of the ideas are discussed and computational examples are presented. 相似文献

Composites containing Pd aggregates dispersed in amorphous silica are of interest from both a fundamental and applied point of view because of their attractive catalytic properties. The silica powders added with palladium, prepared by the sol-gel method, were studied using X-ray diffraction, and IR- and UV-Vis-spectrophotometry. Silica xerogel samples were prepared using a ethanol/H2O/TEOS molar ratio of 4:11.6:1 and loaded with sodium tetrachloropalladate. The silica xerogel microstructure of the powders was studied as a function of annealing temperature. Attention was paid to the evolution of the glass matrix as well as the palladium aggregates in the SiO2 matrix. We found in our samples partial crystallization of the glass matrix in form of quartz and cristobalite phases with palladium oxide and metallic palladium phase at 1000∘C. The Rietveld refinement method was used in order to determine the percentage of the phase contents. 相似文献
