15N-Traceruntersuchungen zum Mechanismus der N2O-Bildung in Böden

Nitrous oxide is a potential environmental hazard responsible for the green house effect and the destruction of the ozone layer in the lower stratosphere. Biological denitrification under anaerobic conditions in soils results in the formation of both N₂O and N₂, whereby highly nitrogen-fertilized agricultural soils contribute to a considerable extent of the N₂O emission. Latest results in the literature indicate that nitrous oxide can also be formed as a byproduct of the microbial nitrification. This is of importance for soils in central Germany because of the non-existence of typical denitrification conditions in a semiaride climate.

This study was conducted to measure the path of N₂O formation in Haplic Phaeozen: using [¹⁵N] ammonium and [¹⁵N] nitrat and a GC-MS aided incubation system. The kinetic isotope method was used to evaluate the experimental data. The results are:

- Under anaerobic conditions (～ 90% of the water holding capacity = WHC) N₂O originates mainly from the nitrate pool by denitrification.

- As expected, the N₂O formation is low under aerobic conditions (～ 80% WHC) but the gas originates directly from the ammonium and not from the nitrate pool, probably as a byproduct of the nitrification process.     

Kinetics of the formation of Fe2B layers in gray cast iron: Effects of boron concentration and boride incubation time

The growth kinetics of Fe₂B layers formed at the surface of gray cast iron were evaluated in this study. The pack-boriding process was applied to produce the Fe₂B phase at the material surface, and the variables included three temperatures (1173, 1223 and 1273 K) and four exposure times (2, 4, 6 and 8 h). Taking into account the growth fronts obtained at the surface of the material and the mass balance equation at the Fe₂B/substrate interface, the boron diffusion coefficient on the borided phase was estimated for the range of treatment temperatures. Likewise the parabolic growth constant, the instantaneous velocity of the Fe₂B/substrate interface, and the weight gain in the borided samples were established as a function of the parameters τ(t) and α(C), which are related to the boride incubation time (t₀(T)) and boron concentration at the Fe₂B phase, respectively. Observation of the growth kinetics of the Fe₂B layers in gray cast irons suggest an optimum value of boron concentration that is in good agreement with the set of boriding experimental conditions used in this work.     

Preparing the key metabolite of Z‐ligustilide in vivo by a specific electrochemical reaction

The key in vivo metabolites of a drug play an important role in its efficacy and toxicity. However, due to the low content and instability of these metabolites, they are hard to obtain through in vivo methods. Electrochemical reactions can be an efficient alternative to biotransformation in vivo for the preparation of metabolites. Accordingly, in this study, the metabolism of Z‐ligustilide was investigated in vitro by electrochemistry coupled online to mass spectrometry. This work showed that five oxidation products of the electrochemical reaction were detected and that two of the oxidation products (senkyunolide I and senkyunolide H) were identified from liver microsomal incubation as well. Furthermore, after intragastric administration of Z‐ligustilide in rats, senkyunolide I and senkyunolide H were detected in the rat plasma and liver, while 6,7‐epoxyligustilide, a key intermediate metabolite of Z‐ligustilide, was difficult to detect in vivo. By contrast, 6,7‐epoxyligustilide was obtained from the electrochemical reaction. In addition, for the first time, 6 mg of 6,7‐epoxyligustilide was prepared from 120 mg of Z‐ligustilide. Therefore, electrochemical reactions represent an efficient laboratory method for preparing key drug metabolites.

基于创业过程的资源匹配孵化研究

企业孵化需要结合创业过程提供匹配服务。通过有机地将创业过程与企业孵化相结合构建系统动力学模型,研究创业成长不同时期的资源匹配模式。模型仿真分析发现,单纯提高创业资源的供给并不能带来创业数的增加,需要将资源供给与各阶段企业晋级比例相结合,才能实现预期目标。进一步地,既定创业资源投入情况下,调整不同阶段的企业孵化驻留时间能够提高企业孵化器收益与在孵企业总数,但容易导致创业资源的挤占,而评价考核体系的分层设计能有效规避这一问题。据此,结合中国企业孵化实践,分别对创业孵化过程及对应的评价机制,提出相应的政策建议。

The study of amorphous incubation layers during the growth of microcrystalline silicon films under different deposition conditions

<正>The structural un-uniformity of μc-Si:H films prepared using a very high frequency plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition method has been investigated by Raman spectroscopy,spectroscopic ellipsometer and atomic force microscopy.It was found that the formation of amorphous incubation layer was caused by the back diffusion of SiH_4 and the amorphous induction of glass surface during the initial ignition process,and growth of the incubation layer can be suppressed and uniformμc-Si:H phase is generated by the application of delayed initial SiH_4 density and silane profiling methods.     

Spreader-CDR system for efficient,reproducible, and frugal western blot

Efficient antibody incubation is a vital step for successful western blot. During the incubation, a thin antibody-depleted layer is created around the blotting membrane, which limits antibody binding. Although the conventional batch shaking method is ineffective against it, this layer can be easily disrupted by cyclic draining and replenishing (CDR) of the antibody solution during membrane incubation. Previously, we introduced a closed and rotating cylindrical chamber as a tool to implement CDR for western blots (rCDR). A new open bucket-style chamber was devised for easier operation and the possibility of process automation. Instead of rotation as in rCDR, rocking it back and forth achieved the CDR antibody incubation (R-CDR). The chamber was then equipped with a spreader-rod to facilitate the uniform movement of the antibody solution across the membrane surface. Hence, it was named spreader CDR (S-CDR). Compared to the batch incubation method, both the S-CDR and R-CDR devices produced significantly enhanced signals and developed faster results. There were several additional benefits of using the spreader-rod, which included uniform antibody binding across the membrane, reduced usage of antibodies, and the ability to recover results even from mishandled, creased membranes. The S-CDR device ensures better blots and can be easily implemented in existing western blot protocols.
