A comparative study of magnetic properties between whole cells and isolated magnetosomes of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Magnetospirillum magneticum</Emphasis> AMB-1

The magnetic properties of magnetosome magnetite are of interdisciplinary interest because magnetosomes are potential carriers of natural remanent magnetization and paleoenvironment, as well as novel nano-biomaterials in biotechnological and biomedical applications. We carried out magnetic and electron transmission microscopy analyses of fresh Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1 whole cells and isolated magnetosomes. Results revealed that AMB-1 synthesized single-domain magnetite magneto-somes, which are arra...     

Visible light photocatalytic decoloration of methylene blue on novel N-doped TiO2

Novel N-doped TiO2 (denoted as N-NTA600) was prepared by treating nanotube titanic acid (NTA) in NH3 flow. Its visible light photocatalytic activity,evaluated by decoloration reaction of methylene blue,is higher than that of N-P25(600) prepared by treatment of P25-TiO2 in the same condition. It is suggested that the origin of visible-light photocatalytic activity is single-electron-trapped oxygen vacancy (Vo·) modified by chemisorbed NO.

MAN-MACHINE COLLABORATED KNOWLEDGE CREATION IN HWMSE

1 Introduction Science of complexity and complex systems is a relatively new area In wide fields from chemistry, biology, environment, geo-science, climatology to economics and sociology, complexity has been studied from diverse views and understandings Systems science, which could be traced back to Ludwig von Bertalanffy’foundational work on general system theory, plays an active role in complexity studies From system perspectives, relevant concepts often include interaction, feedback, evol…     

Preparation and characteristics of flexible all-organic thin-film field-effect transistor

Much attention has been attracted to organic thin-film field-effect transistors (OTFFETs) in the past decades[1—4]. Because of their lower cost and easier preparation, OTFFETs are considered to be useful in driving liquid crystal displays (LCD) and organic light-emitting diodes (OLED). Furthermore, flexible OTFFETs will be one of the most useful electronic devices for flexible active matrix driving circuits. OTFFETs based on pentacene single crystal have been reported to be of g…     

GROUP SIZE AND PARALLELISM EFFECTS IN TASKS WITHHETEROGENEOUS LEVELS OF DIFFICULTY：A STOCHASTIC ORDER APPROACH

We consider tasks where in order to perform them it is sufficient that one member of a group will know how to do it. We are interested in the effect of task difficulty, and variability of that difficulty, on group performance, and in particular on the marginal contribution of an additional number to the performance of groups of different size. We explore the implications of various stochastic orders over task difficulty and variability. Some intuitive conjectures are shown to be false.

Phylogeny constructed by using diversity increment

A new approach based on the concept of the diversity increment is applied to reconstruct a phylogeny. The phylogeny of the Eutherian orders use concatenated H-stranded amino acid sequences, and the result is consistent with the commonly accepted one for the Eutherians.
