Purification and some properties of squalene-2,3-epoxide: lanosterol cyclase from rat liver

Squalene-2,3-epoxide: lanosterol cyclase was purified from rat liver in five steps as a soluble and homogeneous protein. The purified enzyme showed a single band on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with a molecular weight of 75 kD. In its native state it behaved as a homo-dimer. The isoelectric point of 5.5 and the apparent Km value for (3S)-squalene-epoxide of 55 microM were estimated for the cyclase.     

On the existence and uniqueness of classical global solution to a type of Boussinesq equations

The existence and uniqueness of classical global solutions to a type of Boussinesq equations with initial and boundary values are studied in this paper. The existence of such solutions is proved by means of compactness theorem and Schauders fixed point theorem, and its uniqueness by the so called energy method.Projects Supported by the Science Fund of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.     

激光诱导荧光探测水体中溶解有机物浓度

用Nd∶YAG激光器的三倍频355 nm光作为激发光源,根据激光诱导荧光(LIF)方法激发并探测污染水体的荧光光谱.通过对荧光光谱的分析处理研究归一化荧光强度,即450 nm处水中溶解有机物(DOM)峰与405 nm处水的拉曼峰的比值,反演溶解有机物浓度.用商品腐殖酸和去离子水配置成已知浓度的溶液代替标准DOM溶液进行标定,得到回归方程.结果证明,DOM的归一化荧光强度与水体中DOM浓度有较好的线性关系,因此LIF方法是对大面积水域水质进行动态遥测的较理想方法.     

考虑到束-波相互作用的速调管离子噪声二维模拟

采用粒子模拟的方法并考虑电子束与电磁波的相互作用，首次直接得到了速调管输出信号的离子噪声图像，阐述了束电子、二次电子、离子、电磁场之间的相互作用的动力学过程. 指出离子噪声所表现出来的相位波动是由电子束速度的波动引起的，电子束速度的变化来源于管内离子数量的变化，离子的数量的变化又与电子束状态变化相互影响，这是离子噪声产生的根本原因. 二次电子对离子噪声产生过程的影响甚微，但是其行为却反映了离子噪声的形成机理. 离子噪声引发的输出信号幅度波动取决于电子束速度和半径的改变，与离子行为密切相关. 关键词： 离子噪声 速调管 粒子模拟 电子束     

赝能隙导致的YBa2(Cu1-xMx)3O7-δ(M=Co,Zn)薄膜的输运性质异常

报道了两类典型元素替代的超导Y123相体系-YBa2(Cu1-xCox)3O7-δ(x=0.01,0.02)和YBa2(Cu1-yZny)3O7-δ(y=0.005,0.010)薄膜的电阻率-温度特性(ρ(T))和Hall效应(RH (T)).研究表明,Co掺杂的Y123相体系十分类似于氧欠掺杂的情况,对Co掺杂的薄膜样品,由电阻率-温度特性定义的赝能隙打开的温度T*分别为193和225K.而Zn掺杂的样品没有观察到赝能隙打开对电阻率-温度特性的影响.由Hall效应的测量和Hall角(cotθH)定义了另一个特征温度T 0,介于Tc与T*之间,这一特征温度与核磁共振(NMR)给出的赝能隙打开温度相近,说明可能源于电子自旋自由度上的能隙打开.在室温到Tc范围内,电阻率-温度特性和Hall效应分别定义了两类不同的转变温度(T*和T 0),可能分别源于电子电荷和自旋通道上的赝能隙的打开,预示着电荷和自旋自由度分别进入某种基态.     

Efficient computation of natural convection in a concentric annulus between an outer square cylinder and an inner circular cylinder

In this work, the natural convection in a concentric annulus between a cold outer square cylinder and a heated inner circular cylinder is simulated using the differential quadrature (DQ) method. The vorticity‐stream function formulation is used as the governing equation, and the coordinate transformation technique is introduced in the DQ computation. It is shown in this paper that the outer square boundary can be approximated by a super elliptic function. As a result, the coordinate transformation from the physical domain to the computational domain is set up by an analytical expression, and all the geometrical parameters can be computed exactly. Numerical results for Rayleigh numbers range from 104 to 106 and aspect ratios between 1.67 and 5.0 are presented, which are in a good agreement with available data in the literature. It is found that both the aspect ratio and the Rayleigh number are critical to the patterns of flow and thermal fields. The present study suggests that a critical aspect ratio may exist at high Rayleigh number to distinguish the flow and thermal patterns. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Three New Polyoxygenated Steroids from Two Species of the South China Sea Gorgonian Muricella flexuosa and Menella verrucosa Brundin

Three new polyoxygenated steroids, muricesteroid ( 1 ), and menellsteroids A ( 2 ) and B ( 3 ), were isolated from two species of the South China Sea gorgonian Muricella flexuosa and Menella verrucosa Brundin , respectively. The structures of these new compounds were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis, chemical methods and comparison with known related compounds.

空气/水界面水分子的取向和运动

对四种不同的实验构型下空气／水界面自由O-H键在3700cm~(-1)的和频振动光谱的分析表明,水分子在空气／水界面的取向运动只可能是在平衡位置附近有限角度之内的受限转动。界面水分子的自由O-H键取向距界面法线约33°,而取向分布或运动的宽度不超过15°。这一图像显著地不同于Wei等人(Phys. Rev. Lett.86,4799(2001))只通过单一的SFG实验构型所得出结论,即：空气／水界面的水分子在超快的振动弛豫时间内在很大的角度范围内运动。
