A new insight into the understanding of the collapsed form of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) molecules

Possible collapsed forms of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) molecules are reviewed on the basis of first principle calculations. Various configurations and associated conformations are detailed. The calculated optimized structures exhibit different possibilities of creating networks of intra-molecular bonds of the hydrogen type. We show that the most remarkable one is able to form a local, self-saturated and well ordered helix. We also indicate in which direction the synthesis of the molecule should be oriented to improve its global behavior in term of hydrophobic/hydrophilic behavior.     

Comment on “The Free Will Theorem”

In a recent paper Conway and Kochen, Found. Phys. 36, 2006, claim to have established that theories of the Ghirardi-Rimini-Weber (RW) type, i.e., of spontaneous wave function collapse, cannot be made relativistic. On the other hand, relativistic GRW-type theories have already been presented, in my recent paper, J. Stat. Phys. 125, 2006, and by Dowker and Henson, J. Stat. Phys. 115, 2004. Here, I elucidate why these are not excluded by the arguments of Conway and Kochen.      

Gravitational Collapse of Self-Similar Perfect Fluid in 2 + 1 Gravity

Perfect fluid with kinematic self-similarity is studied in 2+1 dimensional spacetimes with circular symmetry, and various exact solutions to the Einstein field equations are given. These include all the solutions of dust and stiff perfect fluid with self-similarity of the first kind, and all the solutions of perfect fluid with a linear equation of state and self-similarity of the zeroth and second kinds. It is found that some of these solutions represent gravitational collapse, and the final state of the collapse can be either a black hole or a null singularity. It is also shown that one solution can have two different kinds of kinematic self-similarity.     

Consequence for Wavefunction Collapse Model of the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory Experiment

It is shown that data on the dissociation rate of deuterium obtained in an experiment at the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory provides evidence that the Continuous Spontaneous Localization wavefunction collapse model should have mass–proportional coupling to be viable.     

聚电解质与相反电荷表面活性剂的相互作用

通过透光度测定、电导滴定和粘度法考察了阳离子聚电解质聚苯乙烯 4 乙烯基吡啶硫酸甲酯盐与阴离子表面活性剂十二烷基硫酸钠 (SDS)的相互作用。研究表明 ,在表面活性剂未过量时 ,二者之间的静电作用占主导地位 ,并且当二者电荷总量相等时 ,生成的复合物沉淀最多 ;在表面活性剂过量后 ,复合物可部分溶解 ,溶解的原因是疏水相互作用。本文初步阐述了二者的作用机理     

中性盐对谷氨酸脱羧酶活性的影响机制

通过不同阳离子和不同阴离子对唾液链球菌嗜热亚种(Streptococcus salivariussub sp.thermophilus)谷氨酸脱羧酶活性的影响以及NaNO3对不同蛋白质浓度的谷氨酸脱羧酶活性的影响进行考察,结果表明:中性盐对谷氨酸脱羧酶活性的影响不是由于增加蛋白质亚基间的疏水作用引起的,而可能是由中性盐对谷氨酸脱羧酶活性的弱抑制作用与中性盐增加了谷氨酸脱羧酶的胶体体系稳定性共同作用所致,同时还可能与中性盐降低了反应体系CO2的溶解度有关.     

Collapse transition and asymptotic scaling behavior of lattice animals: Low-temperature expansion

A low-temperature expansion for the free energy density of lattice animals is derived. Analysis of the series yields a collapse transition temperature ofT _c - 0.54, in close agreement with previous estimates. It is demonstrated that _p,k, the number ofp-particle,p-bond animals, obeys the asymptotic scaling law log _p,k pg(k/p) + o(p). The low-temperature series and numerical data are used to estimate the scaling function.     

碳氟链与碳氢链表面活性剂在固液界面上的吸附

全氟辛酸及其钠盐和十二烷基硫酸钠在R972上的吸附等温线均为S型或LS型，指示固液界面吸附过程中有表面疏水缔合物生成．碳氟表面活性剂的饱和吸附量显著高于碳氢表面活性剂的饱和吸附量．加电解质于液相使各体系吸附量上升．对于碳氟表面活性剂，甚至引起吸附等温线类型变化．例如，不加电解质时全氟辛酸在R972上的吸附等温线为S型，而加入HCl（c＝0．05mol·dm－3）使吸附等混线变成LS型．全氟辛酸比全氟辛酸钠在R972上的吸附更强．几种表面活性剂在R972上的吸附均随温度升高而减少。应用两阶段吸附模型及通用吸附等温线公式可以很好地解释所得实验结果．
