PtRuAgCoNi高熵合金纳米颗粒高效电催化氧化5-羟甲基糠醛

5-羟甲基糠醛(HMF)的电催化氧化被认为是合成2,5-呋喃二甲酸(FDCA)最环保、经济和有效的方法之一,它可作为聚呋喃二甲酸乙二醇酯(PEF)的生物基前体。在这项工作中,我们通过低温溶剂热法合成了PtRuAgCoNi高熵合金纳米颗粒,并在不改变颗粒结构和组成的情况下进行了简易的处理以去除表面活性剂。负载在碳载体上的合金纳米催化剂无论是否含有表面活性剂在HMF电催化氧化为FDCA的过程中都表现出比商业Pt/C更好的催化性能。且表面活性剂的去除可以进一步提高其电催化性能,表明高熵合金纳米粒子在电催化和绿色化学中具有广阔的应用前景。     

Glycoconjugated Metallohelices have Improved Nuclear Delivery and Suppress Tumour Growth In Vivo

Monosaccharides are added to the hydrophilic face of a self‐assembled asymmetric Fe^II metallohelix, using CuAAC chemistry. The sixteen resulting architectures are water‐stable and optically pure, and exhibit improved antiproliferative selectivity against colon cancer cells (HCT116 p53^+/+) with respect to the non‐cancerous ARPE‐19 cell line. While the most selective compound is a glucose‐appended enantiomer, its cellular entry is not mainly glucose transporter‐mediated. Glucose conjugation nevertheless increases nuclear delivery ca 2.5‐fold, and a non‐destructive interaction with DNA is indicated. Addition of the glucose units affects the binding orientation of the metallohelix to naked DNA, but does not substantially alter the overall affinity. In a mouse model, the glucose conjugated compound was far better tolerated, and tumour growth delays for the parent compound (2.6 d) were improved to 4.3 d; performance as good as cisplatin but with the advantage of no weight loss in the subjects.     

A periodic DFT study on adsorption of small molecules(CH_4,CO,H_2O,H_2S,NH_3)on the WO_3(001) surface-supported Au

Gas molecules(such as CH4,CO,H2O,H2S,NH_3)adsorption on the pure and Au-doped WO3(001)surface have been studied by Density functional theory calculations with generalized gradient approximation.Based on the the calculation of adsorption energy,we found the most stable adsorption site for gas molecules by comparing the adsorption energies of different gas molecules on the WO3(001)surface.We have also compared the adsorption energy of five different gas molecules on the WO3(001)surface,our calculation results show that when the five kinds of gases are adsorbed on the pure WO3(001)surface,the order of the surface adsorption energy is CO>H2S>CH4>H2O>NH3.And the results show that NH3 is the most easily adsorbed gas among the other four gases adsorbed on the surface of pure WO3(001)surface.We also calculated the five different gases on the Au-doped WO3(001)surface.The order of adsorption energy was found to be different from the previous calculation:CO>CH4>H2S>H2O>NH3.These results provide a new route for the potential applications of Au-doped WO3 in gas molecules adsorption.     

A Single Component Mutation Evolutionary Programming

In this paper, a novel evolutionary programming is proposed for solving the upper and lower bound optimization problems as well as the linear constrained optimization problems. There are two characteristics of the algorithm: first, only one component of the current solution is mutated in each iteration; second, it can solve the linear constrained optimization problems directly without converting it into unconstrained problems. By solving two kinds of the optimization problems, the algorithm can not only effectively find optimal or close to optimal solutions but also reduce the number of function evolutions compared with the other heuristic algorithms.     

Dehydrogenation inhibition on nano-Au/ZSM-5 catalyst: a novel route for anti-coking in methanol to propylene reaction

A novel route for anti-deactivation of methanol-to-propylene catalyst has been established through supporting nano-gold on ZSM-5, which efficiently reinforces the catalytic stability due to the effect of gold nanoparticles on the stabilization of dehydrogenation intermediates within the coking process.     

DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF AXIALLY-SYMMETRICAL ANNULAR CORRUGATED SHELL PIEZOELECTRIC TRANSDUCERS

The coupled extensional and flexural vibrations of an annular corrugated shell piezoelectric transducer consisting of multiple circularly-annular surfaces smoothly connected along the interfaces were investigated in the paper. Only a time-harmonic voltage is applied across two electrodes of the piezoelectric shell as the external loading. A theoretical solution was obtained using the classical shell theory. Based on the solution, basic vibration characteristics of resonant frequencies, mode shapes were calculated and examined.     

HIGH-FREQUENCY VIBRATIONS OF CORRUGATED CYLINDRICAL PIEZOELECTRIC SHELLS

Coupled extensional and flexural cylindrical vibrations of a corrugated cylindrical piezoelectric shell consisting of multiple pieces of circular cylindrical surfaces smoothly connected along their generatrix are studied. To validate the results for the case of relatively thick shells or equivalently high-frequency modes with short wavelengths, existing analysis is extended by considering shear deformation and rotatory inertia. An analytical solution is obtained. Based on the solution, resonant frequencies and mode shapes are calculated.     

Ultrasensitive detection of pepsinogen I and pepsinogen II by a time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay and its preliminary clinical applications

A fast and highly sensitive assay for pepsinogen I (PG I) and pepsinogen II (PG II) by using time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay (TRFIA) detection technique has been developed for the determination of serum PG I and PG II against gastrointestinal diseases. On the noncompetitive assay, one monoclonal antibody (McAb) coated on wells was directed against a specific antigenic site on the PG I or PG II. The McAb, called as labelling McAb, was prepared with the europium-chelate of N-(p-isothiocyanatobenzyl)-diethylenetriamine-N,N,N,N-tetraacetic acid and directed against a different antigenic site on the PG I or PG II molecule. After bound/free separation by washing, the fluorescence counts of bound Eu³⁺-McAb were measured. The levels of PG in sera from patients or healthy volunteers were determined by PG I and PG II TRFIA using the autoDELFIA₁₂₃₅ system. The measurement ranges of PG I-TRFIA were 3.5-328.0 μg L⁻¹ and those of PG II-TRFIA were 2.0-55.0 μg L⁻¹. The within-run and between-run CVs of the PG I-TRFIA were 1.9% and 4.7%, respectively, and those of PG II-TRFIA were 2.1% and 3.8%, respectively. The recovery rates of PG I-TRFIA and PG II-TRFIA were 102.7% and 104.6%, respectively. The detection limitations of PG I and PG II were 0.05 μg L⁻¹ and 0.02 μg L⁻¹, respectively. The dilution experiments showed the percentage of expected value of PG I-TRFIA was 93.2-102.3% and of PG II-TRFIA was 97.3-110.6%. The cross-reacting rate between PG I and PG II was negligible. The linear correlation of radioimmunoassay (RIA) and TRFIA measurements resulted in a correlation coefficient as 0.926 of PG I and as 0.959 of PG II. The europium-labelling McAbs were stable for at least one year at −20 °C, and the results of the TRFIA with same reagents were reproducible over one year as well. The means of 1600 healthy volunteers were 162.4 ± 52.1 μg L⁻¹ for serum PG I, 11.7 ± 6.8 μg L⁻¹ for serum PG II, and 13.8 ± 7.4 for the PG I/PG II ratio. The normal ranges of Serum PG I levels for healthy volunteers were 58.2-266.6 μg L⁻¹, and those of serum PG II levels were less than 25.3 μg L⁻¹. The availability of a highly sensitive, reliable, and convenient PG-TRFIA method for quantifying PG will allow investigations into the possible diagnostic value of this analysis in various clinical conditions, including gastric carcinoma, duodenal ulcer, gastric ulcer and gastritis. The sensitivity and reproducibility of the assay were satisfactory for clinical applications.
