A new one-pot synthetic method for preparing core/shell YF3@SiO2 nanoparticles with different morphologies, from spherical to elongated structures ("pearl necklace"), is described; absorbance and photoluminescence spectroscopy reveals intrinsic but no extrinsic defects in the YF3. 相似文献
Quasi-critical fluctuations occur close to critical points or close to continuous phase transitions. In three-dimensional systems, precision tuning is required to access the fluctuation regime. Lowering the dimensionality enhances the parameter space for quasi-critical fluctuations considerably. This enables one to make use of novel properties emerging in fluctuating systems, such as giant susceptibilities, Casimir forces or novel quasi-particle interactions. Examples are discussed ranging from simple metal–adsorbate systems to unconventional superconductivity in iron-based superconductors. 相似文献
Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is emerging nanotechnology that can represent binary information using quantum cells without current flows. It is known as a promising alternative of Complementary Metal–Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) to solve its drawbacks. On the other hand, the shift register is one of the most widely used practical devices in digital systems. Also, QCA has the potential to achieve attractive features than transistor-based technology. However, very small-scale and Nano-fabrication limits impose a hurdle to the design of QCA-based circuits and necessitate for fault-tolerant analysis is appeared. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to design and simulate an optimized a D-flip-flop (as the main element of the shift register) based on QCA technology, which is extended to design an optimized 2-bit universal shift register. This paper evaluates the performance of the designed shift register in the presence of the QCA fault. Collected results using QCADesigner tool demonstrate the fault-tolerant feature of the proposed design with minimum clocking and area consumption.
Previous studies have shown that the neurosteroid analogue, 6-Azi-pregnanolone (6-AziP), photolabels voltage-dependent anion channels and proteins of approximately 55 kDa in rat brain membranes. The present study used two-dimensional electrophoresis and nanoelectrospray ionization ion-trap mass spectrometry (nano-ESI-MS) to identify the 55 kDa proteins (isoelectric point 4.8) as isoforms of β-tubulin. This identification was confirmed by immunoblot and immunoprecipitation of photolabeled protein with anti-β-tubulin antibody and by the demonstration that 6-AziP photolabels purified bovine brain tubulin in a concentration-dependent pattern. To identify the photolabeling sites, purified bovine brain tubulin was photolabeled with 6-AziP, digested with trypsin, and analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization MS (MALDI). A 6-AziP adduct of TAVCDIPPR(m/z?= 1287.77), a β-tubulin specific peptide, was detected by MALDI. High-resolution liquid chromatography-MS/MS analysis identified that 6-AziP was covalently bound to cysteine 354 (Cys-354), previously identified as a colchicine-binding site. 6-AziP photolabeling was inhibited by 2-methoxyestradiol, an endogenous derivative of estradiol thought to bind to the colchicine site. Structural modeling predicted that neurosteroids could dock in this colchicine site at the interface between α- and β-tubulin with the photolabeling group of 6-AziP positioned proximate to Cys-354. 相似文献
