Abstract:Palladium nanoparticles modified glassy carbon electrodes (Pd/GC) were prepared via the electrodeposition of palladium on a glassy carbon (GC) electrode using cyclic voltammetry in different sweeping potential ranges. The scanning electron microscope images of palladium particles on the GC electrodes indicate that palladium particles with diameters of 20-50 nm were homogeneously dispersed on the GC electrode at the optimal deposition conditions, which can effectively catalyze the reduction of m-nitrophenol in aqueous solutions, but their catalytic activities are strongly related to the deposition conditions of Pd. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy spectra of the Pd/GC electrode confirmed that 37.1% Pd was contained in the surface composition of the Pd/GC electrode. The cyclic voltammograms of the Pd/GC electrode in the solution of m-nitrophenol show that the reduction peak of m-nitrophenol shifts towards the more positive potentials, accompanied with an increase in the peak current compared to the bare GC electrode. The electrocatalytic activity of the Pd/GC electrode is affected by pH values of the solution. In addition, the electrolysis of m-nitrophenol under a constant potential indicates that the reduction current of m-nitrophenol on the Pd/GC electrode is approximately 20 times larger than that on the bare GC electrode. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract:Few data are available about the effects of complexation of polyphenols with polysaccharide on their bioavailability. The complex of tea polyphenols (TP) with oat β-glucan was characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectrometry, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, differential scanning calorimetry, atomic force microscopy, and solid-state 13C NMR spectroscopy. The results indicated that the bonds which governed the interaction between TP and oat β-glucan were strong hydrogen bonds. The in vitro antioxidant activity of TP, β-glucan, their complex, and physical mixture was assessed using four systems, namely, DPPH&bull, OH &bull, and O2&bull- scavenging activities and reducing power. The complexation and blending of TP and β-glucan exhibited different impacts on the index of in vitro and in vivo antioxidant capacities. In the concentration range of 0.5-2.5 mg mL-1, the complex had highest O2&bull- scavenging activity, whereas the highest OH&bull scavenging activity was found with the physical mixture. For antioxidant testing in vivo, there was no significant difference between the complex and the physical mixture in terms of glutathione peroxidase activity and levels of malondialdehyde and total antioxidant capacity in serums. However, the complex exhibited much higher activities of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase in livers than the physical mixture. The present study provided a deeper understanding of the influence of molecular interaction between TP and oat β-glucan on their antioxidant activities. © 2011 American Chemical Society.

Abstract:The application of curved surface is more and more popular in various kinds of engineering, for different curved surfaces ,because the form and formation way of their generatrix form are different, the surface properties are also different[1,2],so the relevant materials used must match with them too. As a designer, when he/she designs the curved surface, while in pursuit of the perfect modeling, he/she must take the scientific structure in consideration as well, so as to convenient for construction; As a constructor, he/she must fully understand the curved surface's character, rasp the mechanism, and then use a scientific and simple technique to achieve a perfect structure modeling. © (2011) Trans Tech Publications.

Abstract:A novel dopamine sensor was fabricated by forming the inclusion complex between mono-6-thio-β-cyclodextrin (CD-SH) and ferrocene (Fc) functionalized gold nanoparticles (GNPs) films on a platinum electrode. The properties of the GNPs/CDSH-Fc nanocomposite were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectra, UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The electrochemistry of dopamine (DA) was investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammograms (DPV). The electrooxidation of dopamine could be catalyzed by Fc/Fc+ couple as a mediator and had a higher electrochemical response due to the unique performance of GNPs/CDSH-Fc. The anodic peaks of DA and ascorbic acid (AA) in their mixture can be well separated by the prepared electrode. Under optimum conditions linear calibration graphs were obtained over the DA concentration range 2.0 × 10- 6 to 5.0 × 10 - 5 M with a correlation coefficient of 0.998 and a detection limit of 9.0 × 10- 8 M (S/N = 3). The modified electrode had been effectively applied for the assay of DA in dopamine hydrochloride injections. This work provides a simple and easy approach to selectively detect DA in the presence of AA. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract:Three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations closed by RNG κ-Ε turbulent model were adopted to simulate the internal flow of a sump shared by two cooling pumps. Computed results show that the bottom slop of the forbay and asymmetric operation scheme of pump sets will result in unfavorable flow conditions, and swirl angles of flow entering the suction pipe of pump are quantitatively analyzed. Since two pumps share a sump in a column, the auxiliary cooling pump in front will interfere with the flow fields of the sump, which is not favorable to the flow conditions of the main cooling pump. Three operation schemes with or without the auxiliary cooling pump were simulated to compare the influence of the flow fields of sump on the flow conditions of the main cooling pump, and the bias angles of flow entering the suction pipe are quantitatively calculated. The validity and reliability of numerical simulation are verified by a model test. The findings indicate that the computational fluid dynamics can be successfully applied to 3D flow of pump sump and numerical computation can provide reliable references for theoretical analyses, model test and modification of design scheme. © 2011 IEEE.

Abstract:Based on nonlinear prediction and NCEP/NCAR monthly multi-level geopotential heights, spatial heterogeneity of predictability was obtained over the Northern Hemisphere. On the whole, the predictability is high in continental and higher levels and low in oceans and lower levels from seasonal to interannual timescale. The predictability of the seasonal time scale is similar with the seasonal to interannual timescale. When it goes to the interannual time scale, the predictability becomes high in lower troposphere and low in mid-upper troposphere contrary to the formers. And on the whole the interannual trend is more predictable than the seasonal trend. The strength of the seasonal cycle plays a great role in the heterogeneity of predictability which is proved true by spectrum analysis. Other reasons maybe the properties of the atmospheric air, topographic forcing and timescale interactions. © 2011 IEEE.

Abstract:Porous magnetite (Fe3O4) nanospheres composed of primary nanocrystals have been successfully synthesized by solvothermal method with FeCl3·6H2O serving as the single iron resource, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as the capping agent, and sodium acetate as the precipitation agent. To understand the formation mechanism of the porous Fe3O4 nanospheres, the reaction conditions such as the concentration of the precursor, capping agent, precipitation agent, the reaction temperature, and reaction time were investigated. The characterization of the as-prepared product was identified with transmission electronic microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electronic microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), N2 adsorption-desorption technique, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results indicate that the porous Fe3O4 nanospheres display excellent magnetic properties at room temperature, which allows them to be easily separated from the reaction system with the help of external magnet when they serve as catalysts. Catalytic activity studies show that the as-prepared porous Fe 3O4 nanospheres are highly effective catalysts for the degradation of xylenol orange (XO) in aqueous solution with H2O 2 as oxidant. The degradation reaction is first-order, its rate constant at room temperature being 0.056 min-1. Furthermore, the catalytic activity of Fe3O4 nanospheres decreases very slightly after seven cycles of the catalysis experiment. Therefore, porous Fe3O4 nanospheres can serve as effective recyclable catalysts for the degradation of XO. © 2011 American Chemical Society.
