Some basic properties of granules from ore blends consisting of ultrafine magnetite and hematite ores

Some basic properties of granules, including the granule size distribution, packed-bed permeability, and chemical composition of the adhering layer, were investigated in this study for four iron ore blends consisting of 5wt%, 25wt%, and 45wt% ultrafine magnetite and 25wt% ultrafine hematite concentrates. The effects of varying the sinter basicity (CaO/SiO₂ mass ratio=1.4 to 2.2) and adding ultrafine concentrates on the variation of the adhering-layer composition and granule microstructure were studied. Moreover, the effect of adhering-layer compositional changes on sintering reactions was discussed in combination with pot sintering results of ore blends. Increasing sinter basicity led to an increase in the basicities of both the adhering layer and the fine part of the sinter mix, which were higher than the overall sinter basicity. When the sinter chemistry was fixed and fine Si-bearing materials (e.g., quartz sand) were used, increasing the amount of ultrafine ores in the ore blends tended to reduce the adhering-layer basicity and increase the SiO₂ content in both the adhering layer and the fine part of the sinter mix, which will induce the formation of low-strength bonding phases and the deterioration of sinter strength. The adhering-layer composition in granules can be estimated in advance from the compositions of the -1 mm fractions of the raw materials.

Mapping stem cell activities in the feather follicle

It is important to know how different organs 'manage' their stem cells. Both hair and feather follicles show robust regenerative powers that episodically renew the epithelial organ. However, the evolution of feathers (from reptiles to birds) and hairs (from reptiles to mammals) are independent events and their follicular structures result from convergent evolution. Because feathers do not have the anatomical equivalent of a hair follicle bulge, we are interested in determining where their stem cells are localized. By applying long-term label retention, transplantation and DiI tracing to map stem cell activities, here we show that feather follicles contain slow-cycling long-term label-retaining cells (LRCs), transient amplifying cells and differentiating keratinocytes. Each population, located in anatomically distinct regions, undergoes dynamic homeostasis during the feather cycle. In the growing follicle, LRCs are enriched in a 'collar bulge' niche. In the moulting follicle, LRCs shift to populate a papillar ectoderm niche near the dermal papilla. On transplantation, LRCs show multipotentiality. In a three-dimensional view, LRCs are configured as a ring that is horizontally placed in radially symmetric feathers but tilted in bilaterally symmetric feathers. The changing topology of stem cell activities may contribute to the construction of complex feather forms.     

Topological domains in mammalian genomes identified by analysis of chromatin interactions

The spatial organization of the genome is intimately linked to its biological function, yet our understanding of higher order genomic structure is coarse, fragmented and incomplete. In the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, interphase chromosomes occupy distinct chromosome territories, and numerous models have been proposed for how chromosomes fold within chromosome territories. These models, however, provide only few mechanistic details about the relationship between higher order chromatin structure and genome function. Recent advances in genomic technologies have led to rapid advances in the study of three-dimensional genome organization. In particular, Hi-C has been introduced as a method for identifying higher order chromatin interactions genome wide. Here we investigate the three-dimensional organization of the human and mouse genomes in embryonic stem cells and terminally differentiated cell types at unprecedented resolution. We identify large, megabase-sized local chromatin interaction domains, which we term 'topological domains', as a pervasive structural feature of the genome organization. These domains correlate with regions of the genome that constrain the spread of heterochromatin. The domains are stable across different cell types and highly conserved across species, indicating that topological domains are an inherent property of mammalian genomes. Finally, we find that the boundaries of topological domains are enriched for the insulator binding protein CTCF, housekeeping genes, transfer RNAs and short interspersed element (SINE) retrotransposons, indicating that these factors may have a role in establishing the topological domain structure of the genome.     

多杀性巴氏杆菌外膜蛋白单克隆抗体对兔及鼠巴氏杆菌病的保护

用兔子分离的多杀性巴氏杆菌(P.multocida)免疫小鼠得脾细胞,与骨髓瘤细胞融合后制备针对37.5KDa外膜蛋白的单克隆抗体(MAbs)。用酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA),全细胞放射免疫沉淀试验(WCRIP),免疫印迹分析筛选所需MAbs。WC-RIP和免疫印迹试验表明,用完整多杀性巴氏杆菌吸附及洗脱的MAb1608,其识别的抗原暴露于细胞表面,抗体易于接近,其分子量为37.5KDa,蛋白酶K处理多杀性巴氏杆菌外膜,MAb1608的活性完全消除,说明此MAb结合于某一蛋白抗原决定簇。在免疫印迹试验中MAbl6108与提纯的脂多糖(LPS)无反应。被动转移研究表明与对照组比,鼻内接种MAb1608并同时鼻内攻毒的9只家兔其死亡率、肺炎严重程度、非呼吸道脏器和鼻腔中多杀性巴氏杆菌数量都明显要低。肺中多杀巴菌数量减少84.750倍。被动转移试验也表明MAb1608保护鼠免受具有该MAb识别抗原决定簇的同源或异源多杀巴菌株的攻击。但是,当用缺乏MAb1608识别抗原决定簇的多杀巴菌株攻击鼠时,MAb1608不提供保护作用。本研究表明37.5KDa外膜蛋白是保护性MAb的作用靶。     

One-Dimensional Fractal Curves and Fractal Dimension Determination

Various methods for evaluating the fractal curves were reviewed and simulated on computer. It is shown box-counting and power spectrum methods generally give poor measuring results, while yard and variation methods could obtain good results. However,owing to multiple influencing factors, further study needs to be done before widespread application of variation method. In order to improve the measuring accuracy of yard method, a new method has been propoed to measure the fractal dimension by changing the instrumental resolutions.     

Impacts of different designed microstructures on creep performance of a Ni-based wrought superalloy

The creep behavior of a novel Ni-based wrought superalloy with varying aging states, classified as large underaged(UA), little UA, and little over-aged(OA) states, was investigated at a temperature higher than the intragrain/grain-boundary iso-strength temperature(750°C/250 MPa). In the samples before creep test, there are spherical γ’precipitates homogeneously dispersed within the γ matrix and carbides precipitated at grain boundaries(GBs). After creep tests, precipitate-free zones(PFZs) appear...

Mechanical properties of Mn-doped ZnO nanowires studied by first-principles calculations

First-principles calculations were performed to investigate the mechanical properties of ZnO nanowires and to study the doping and size effects. A series of strains were applied to ZnO nanowires in the axial direction and the elastic moduli of ZnO nanowires were obtained from the energy versus strain curves. Pure and Mn-doped ZnO nanowires with three different diameters (1.14, 1.43, and 1.74 nm) were studied. It is found that the elastic moduli of the ZnO nanowires are 146.5, 146.6, and 143.9 GPa, respectively, which are slightly larger than that of the bulk (140.1 GPa), and they increase as the diameter decreases. The elastic moduli of the Mn-doped ZnO nanowires are 137.6, 141.8, and 141.0 GPa, which are slightly lower than those of the undoped ones by 6.1%, 3.3%, and 2.0%, respectively. The mechanisms of doping and size effect were discussed in terms of chemical bonding and geometry considerations.     

Design and calculation of low infrared transmittance and low emissivity coatings for heat radiative applications

The infrared transmittance and emissivity of heat-insulating coatings pigmented with various structural particles were studied using Kubelka-Munk theory and Mie theory. The primary design purpose was to obtain the low transmittance and low emissivity coatings to reduce the heat transfer by thermal radiation for high-temperature applications. In the case of silica coating layers constituted with various structural titania particles (solid, hollow, and core-shell spherical), the dependence of transmittance and emissivity of the coating layer on the particle structure and the layer thickness was investigated and optimized. The results indicate that the coating pigmented with core-shell titania particles exhibits a lower infrared transmittance and a lower emissivity value than that with other structural particles and is suitable to radiative heat-insulating applications.
