金在深海铁锰结核中的分布

从世界各大洋区采来的170块铁锰结核样品,将它送往几个试验室,利用中子活化法、液相光谱法。吸收光谱法和原子吸收法,对其中的含金量进行测定。太平洋结核中的含金量分别为0.1—11、2—8、2—13和2—11毫克/吨,其平均含量为2、4、5和5毫克/吨。金在单体结核中的分布是不均匀的,这一点取决于它的自然形态。金与所研究的结核中的造岩组分和金属组分无关。结核中的金重新回到周围各种沉积物里进行聚集的系数浮动在0.5—1.5之间。这就说明金在结核的形成过程中是具有惰性的。     

活化链烷

链烷是天然烃类(碳氢化合物)组成的一大家族.它们在自然界中储量如此丰富,因而工业界早就对它们产生兴趣并视之为合成许多化合物和燃料的一种可能原料.一些最有名的链烷是石蜡、丙烷和甲烷.地壳中含有丰富的甲烷,其中一部分正被用作天然气燃料.同时工业上也通过复杂而昂贵的高温高压     

防治心脏病的好消息

位于旧金山的加州大学医学院和太平洋长老会医疗中心一位说话温和的年轻研究员迪安·奥尼什医生(Dean Ornish)曾征集过心脏病患者实验一种治疗心脏病的新方法。更新的,不那样激烈的医疗技术也一点没能改变奥尼什的想法。冠状血管成形术中用气胀导管在阻塞的动脉中充气来把血管冲开.“但用同样方法疏通的第三条冠状动脉6个月后又阻塞了.”奥尼什指出。另一种决择,即用降胆固醇药物,虽然对有些病例有效,但是代价昂贵。用这类药物可增加患者的存活机会,但这些药物对有些人可能有副作用. “用这些处置方法,”奥尼什说,“我们经常是解决一些问题又引出另一些问题。我想从心脏病的成因上来解决问题。

Parity Nonconservation in of Multiply Dielectronic Recombination Charged Ions

A parity nonconserving （PNC） asymmetry in the cross section for dielectronic recombination of polarized electrons on multiply charged ions with Z≥40 is discussed. This effect is strongly enhanced for close doubly-excited states of opposite parity in the intermediate compound ion. Such states are known for He-like ions. However, these levels have large energy and large radiative widths which hampers observation of the PNC asymmetry. We argue that accidentally degenerate states of more complex ions may be more suitable for the coresponding experiment.     

Self-assembling Characteristics of Amphiphilic Star Block Copolymers with a Polyelectrolyte Shell

1 Results Amphiphilic block copolymers are capable of forming supramolecular assemblies resembling those observed in nature,such as spherical micelles,worm micelles,and vesicles.Changing the solvent composition,ionic strength or pH of the polymer solution may induce the self-assembly of block copolymers or trigger the transition between the geometries of noncovalent assemblies.In the current work,we have synthesised starlike amphiphilic block copolymers having hydrophobic poly(methyl methacrylate),PMMA,core,and hydrophilic poly(acrylic acid),PAA,shell.The self-assembling characteristics of these polymers have been investigated in aqueous solutions by light scattering and direct visualisation by cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryoTEM)[1]. Computer simulations along with the theoretical predictions made for the star-like system based on mean-field theory have been used to support the experimental observations[2]. The association of the starlike macromolecules resembles that of charged biopolymers,such as actin,since a balance between attractive and repulsive forces is required for the formation of cylindrical assemblies and can be manipulated by changing the pH or the ionic strength of the solvent[3].
