An analog of double electromagnetically induced transparency with extremely high group indexes

An asymmetric metamaterial exhibiting an analog of double electromagnetically induced transparency(EIT) in the middle-infrared region is reported.The metamaterial consists of two-layered arrays of Ushaped rings embedded in a medium,with the lower layer rotated by 90°.Our simulations demonstrate that both maximum group indexes are extremely high at the two EIT-like positions.The group index reaches about thrice the currently reported maximum value at the high-frequency EIT-like position.The transmittance at the two transparency positions also possesses extremely high Q factors,which is conducive to controlling the propagation of electromagnetic waves.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of （R）-4-Hydroxymethyl-2-thioxo Thiazolidine and Its Asymmetric Catalysis

(R)-4-Hydroxymethyl-2-thioxo thiazolidine as a new chiral catalyst in the asymmetric addition of diethyl-zinc to benzaldehyde was synthesized from (R)-4-hydroxymethyl-2-thioxo thiazolidine carboxylic acid and its crystal structure was determined by X-ray diffraction method. The compound was crystallized in the orthorhombic system, space group P212121 with unit cell dimensions a=0.67253(12) nm; b=0.89164(17) rim; c=1.06146(19) nm, volume 0.6365(2) nm3; Z=4, calculated denisity 1.557 Mg/m3; absorption coefficient 0.733 mm-1; F(000)=312. The X-ray crystal structure analysis reveals that the compound has a thione group.     

VCSEL with reticular electrode and larger emitting aperture and its optoelectronic characteristics

The enlargement of the emitting aperture is usually one of the important methods of increasing vertical- cavity surface-emitting laser （VCSEL） optical output power. However, in a VCSEL with a larger aperture, the inhomogeneity in the injected current often causes inhomogeneous or even no emission. To solve this problem and to increase VCSEL output power, as well as to improve its thermal characteristics, we develop a new type of injected VCSEL with a larger aperture and a reticular electrode, where the conventional circular injection electrode of the P side is turned into a reticular one, and the heat sink is on the N side. The tests of the new VCSEL show an improvement in homogeneity in not only the injected current but also the emission intensity. The optical output power is also considerably increased, and the device optoelectronic performance is improved.

酚酞型聚芳醚砜——Ⅱ.侧基结构对Cardo双酚聚合反应性的影响

基于在“一步法”聚合反应过程中发现的酚酞对反应有特殊的“自催化”作用,本文合成了几种具有与酚酞类似结构的Cardo双酚,并通过对其聚合反应规律的研究,进一步探讨“自催化”作用的本质。实验结果表明,这类Cardo双酚也较普通结构双酚更易于进行异相成盐反应,表现为其聚合反应速度的明显加快。     

Adjuvant Effects of Dual Co-stimulatory Molecules on Cellular Responses to HIV Multiple-epitope DNA Vaccination

Designing adjuvants that can induce strong cytotoxic T cell responses is largely required for preparing DNA vaccines. In this study we explored dual costimulatory molecules 4-1BBL and OX40L as adjuvants to improve the efficiency of the HIV multiple-epitope DNA vaccine. When explored in the human dendritic cell-T cell based coculture system,dual costimulatory molecules significantly enhanced the anti-HIV T cell response of the HIV mul-tiple-epitope DNA vaccine,as detected by intracellular cytokine staining t...     

Physics-based simultaneous retrieval of atmospheric temperature-humidity profiles and land surface temperature-emissivity by integrating Terra/Aqua MODIS measurements

Atmospheric temperature-humidity profiles and land or sea surface temperature are coupled actions in the earth system process. Based on the numerical perturbation form of the atmospheric radiative transfer equation, a physics-based algorithm is pre- sented to integrate four pairs of MODIS measurements from the Terra and Aqua satellites to retrieve simultaneously atmospheric temperature-humidity profile, land-surface temperature and emissivity. Three pairs of MODIS data at two field sites in China, Luancheng...     

Expression and Characterization of the Intracellular Part of Receptor Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase PTPRU

PTPRU is an MAM domain-containing receptor-like protein tyrosine phosphatase. Previous studies have demonstrated an important role of the enzyme in the maintenance of epithelial integrity and in the regulation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. To better understand the function of PTPRU, we cloned and expressed the intracellular portion of PTPRU as a GST fusion protein in E. coli cells. We purified the protein to homogeneity and used it to immunize mice for antibody production. The resultant antibody s...     

Structure Characteristic and Catalase Activity of Vitreoscilla Hemoglobin Bound with Membrane

Lipid-bound [VHb(406)] and lipid-free [VHb(402)] wide type Vitreoscilla hemoglobin were separated from E. coli BL21(DE3). The RZ is 3.30 for [VHb(406)] and 3.15 for [VHb(402)], respectively. VHb(406) shows a characteristic absorption band at 626 nm, while VHb(402) shows one at 644 nm, and it has more α-helix than VHb(402). Data of Raman spectra experiment shows under the excitation wavelength 488 nm, υ4 vibration of both VHb(402) and VHb(406) had a pure and strong signal at 1375 cm-1, which proves that iron...
