基于分子荧光光谱法的超分子水凝胶自组装过程监测

为了研究超分子水凝胶的自组装过程,利用分子荧光光谱法对谷胱甘肽-银离子(GS-Ag(I))水凝胶的自组装过程进行了监测。研究结果显示:GS-Ag(I)作为凝胶因子,其浓度从0上升到0. 008 mol/L的过程中,水凝胶的荧光激发波长从350 nm位移到370 nm,激发波长变化的数据显示水凝胶形态变化的关键浓度是0. 005 mol/L,流变性能数据和荧光显微镜照片也证明了此结论;当凝胶因子到达0. 005 mol/L时,水凝胶内部已经自组装形成了丝状三维网络,并且从牛顿流体转变为非牛顿流体。实验结果表明:当水凝胶的荧光激发波长相对于凝胶因子单体出现光谱红移时,水凝胶的自组装过程可以直接利用分子荧光光谱技术进行监测。

正负电荷改性乙肝病毒样颗粒的构建及性能评价

乙肝病毒核心蛋白(hepatitis B virus core protein,HBc)可在体外自组装成二十面体的病毒样颗粒(virus-like particles,VLPs),但是其较低的自组装效率及稳定性制约其应用.通过蛋白质改造修饰,在野生型HBc(wtHBc)的免疫显性区(major immunodominant region,MIR)分别插入带电多肽序列RRRRRRRR和DDDDDDDD,以通过荷电基团及静电相互作用的引入提高VLPs稳定性.经大肠杆菌重组表达,成功获得携带额外电荷的HBc突变体(mHBc),包括携带额外正电荷的m+HBc和负电荷的m-HBc.结果表明,mHBc的二级结构富含α-螺旋,与wtHBc一致.m+HBc和m-HBc等比例混合可在体外实现自组装,所得mHBc VLPs粒径为(30.44±2.23)nm,与野生型一致.该自组装过程及组装体稳定性受离子强度和pH值影响.使用尺寸排阻色谱、原子力显微镜、动态光散射等方法表征和分析VLPs在不同缓冲液中的稳定性差异.发现wtHBc VLPs可稳定存在于0.3～0.7 mol/L NaCl溶液中,盐浓度过高或过低均会使其稳定性降低.pH响应性实验表明,wtHBc VLPs的最佳组装及稳定pH值为7.4,偏离此pH值使其稳定性降低.在低于pH=5.5的环境下,其相对稳定性明显降低,只达到pH=7.4的64.2%.而mHBc VLPs的稳定性差异随pH值变化不大,在pH测试范围5.5～9.5的相对稳定性均高于88.3%.以上研究结果表明,正、负电荷基团的引入可提高HBc VLPs对pH值变化的耐受性,拓宽稳定pH值区间,增强VLPs的稳定性,利于其实际应用.

Characterization of Ordovician carbonate reservoirs, southeastern Saskatchewan, Canada

The discovery of the prolific Ordovician Red River reservoirs in 1995 in southeastern Saskatchewan was the catalyst for extensive exploration activity which resulted in the discovery of more than 15 new Red River pools. The best yields of Red River production to date have been from dolomite reservoirs. Understanding the processes of dolomitization is, therefore, crucial for the prediction of the connectivity, spatial distribution and heterogeneity of dolomite reservoirs.The Red River reservoirs in the Midale area consist of 3～4 thin dolomitized zones, with a total thickness of about 20 m, which occur at the top of the Yeoman Formation. Two types of replacement dolomite were recognized in the Red River reservoir: dolomitized burrow infills and dolomitized host matrix. The spatial distribution of dolomite suggests that burrowing organisms played an important role in facilitating the fluid flow in the backfilled sediments. This resulted in penecontemporaneous dolomitization of burrow infills by normal seawater. The dolomite in the host matrix is interpreted as having occurred at shallow burial by evaporitic seawater during precipitation of Lake Almar anhydrite that immediately overlies the Yeoman Formation. However, the low δ18O values of dolomited burrow infills (-5.9‰～ -7.8‰, PDB) and matrix dolomites (-6.6‰～ -8.1‰, avg. -7.4‰ PDB) compared to the estimated values for the late Ordovician marine dolomite could be attributed to modification and alteration of dolomite at higher temperatures during deeper burial, which could also be responsible for its 87Sr/86Sr ratios (0.7084～0.7088) that are higher than suggested for the late Ordovician seawaters (0.7078～0.7080). The trace amounts of saddle dolomite cement in the Red River carbonates are probably related to "cannibalization" of earlier replacement dolomite during the chemical compaction.

海南岛地体及其毗邻陆缘晚中生代—新生代古地磁研究和构造演化

本文叙述了对海南岛及其毗邻大陆边缘白垩纪到第四纪地层岩石进行古地磁研究的全部工作过程。通过分析岩石中剩余磁矢量的磁偏角及磁倾角的变化,提出海南岛白垩纪以来经历的构造演化模式如下:早期伴随顺时针旋转而向南迁移,后期伴随逆时针转动并向北运移。联系该地区及邻区的地质、地球物理资料,对海南岛上述的构造地体运动提出以下认识:北部湾内早期有一拉张作用,主要是该作用使湾内地壳显著伸长减薄,形成北部湾盆地。从而导致了海南岛的早期构造运动,而海南岛后期的构造运动则主要是受南海海底扩张的影响。海南地体运动规律的阐明对于了解北部湾油气盆地的形成演化有重要的理论和实际意义。

An on-line scaling method for improving scalability of a database cluster

The explosive growth of the Internet and database applications has driven database to be more scalable and available, and able to support on-line scaling without interrupting service. To support more client's queries without downtime and degrading the response time, more nodes have to be scaled up while the database is running. This paper presents the overview of scalable and available database that satisfies the above characteristics. And we propose a novel on-line scaling method. Our method improves the existing on-line scaling method for fast response time and higher throughputs. Our proposed method reduces unnecessary network use, i.e. , we decrease the number of data copy by reusing the backup data. Also, our on-line scaling operation can be processed parallel by selecting adequate nodes as new node. Our performance study shows that our method results in significant reduction in data copy time.     

An improved R-tree based on childnode''s probability

R-Tree is a good structure for spatial searching. But in this indexing structure,either the sequence of nodes in the same level or sequence of traveling these nodes when queries are made is random. Since the possibility that the object appears in different MBR which have the same parents node is different, if we make the subnode who has the most possibility be traveled first, the time cost will be decreased in most of the cases. In some case, the possibility of a point belong to a rectangle will shows direct proportion with the size of the rectangle. But this conclusion is based on an assumption that the objects are symmetrically distributing in the area and this assumption is not always coming into existence. Now we found a more direct parameter to scale the possibility and made a little change on the structure of R-tree, to increase the possibility of founding the satisfying answer in the front sub trees. We names this structure probability based arranged R-tree (PBAR-tree).     

An Index mechanism for multi-scale view in spatial databases

There are numerous geometric objects stored in the spatial databases. An importance function in a spatial database is that users can browse the geometric objects as a map efficiently. Thus the spatial database should display the geometric objects users concern about swiftly onto the display window. This process includes two operations:retrieve data from database and then draw them onto screen. Accordingly, to improve the efficiency, we should try to reduce time of both retrieving object and displaying them. The former can be achieved with the aid of spatial index such as R-tree, the latter require to simplify the objects. Simplification means that objects are shown with sufficient but not with unnecessary detail which depend on the scale of browse. So the major problem is how to retrieve data at different detail level efficiently. This paper introduces the implementation of a multi-scale index in the spatial database SISP (Spatial Information Shared Platform) which is generalized from R-tree. The difference between the generalization and the R-tree lies on two facets: One is that every node and geometric object in the generalization is assigned with a importance value which denote the importance of them, and every vertex in the objects are assigned with a importance value,too. The importance value can be use to decide which data should be retrieve from disk in a query. The other difference is that geometric objects in the generalization are divided into one or more sub-blocks, and vertexes are total ordered by their importance value. With the help of the generalized R-tree, one can easily retrieve data at different detail levels.Some experiments are performed on real-life data to evaluate the performance of solutions that separately use normal spatial index and multi-scale spatial index. The results show that the solution using multi-scale index in SISP is satisfying.     

Integrating GIS Web services based on mediating architecture

The geographic information service is enabled by the advancements in general Web service technology and the focused efforts of the OGC in defining XML-based Web GIS service. Based on these models, this paper addresses the issue of services chaining,the process of combining or pipelining results from several interoperable GIS Web Services to create a customized solution. This paper presents a mediated chaining architecture in which a specific service takes responsibility for performing the process that describes a service chain. We designed the Spatial Information Process Language (SIPL) for dynamic modeling and describing the service chain, also a prototype of the Spatial Information Process Execution Engine (SIPEE) is implemented for executing processes written in SIPL. Discussion of measures to improve the functionality and performance of such system will be included.
