The inverse correlation between series resistance and parallel resistance of small molecule organic solar cells

Understanding the inversely correlated series resistance(Rs) and parallel resistance(Rp) remains a challenge. Here we report that the variation of Rs and Rp is inversely related through the morphology of the donor and acceptor interface in CuPc organic solar cells, when comparing the bilayer structure and bulk heterojunction structure. It was also found that the charge carrier concentration near the donor–acceptor interface plays an important role in the relationships of Rs and Rp under fixed interfacial morphology, which was verified by the change of Voc. The inversely correlated Rs and Rp contributes to the improvement of the fillfactor, and in turn the power conversion efficiency.     

大河三角洲营养盐研究进展与启示——以阿斯旺建坝前后的尼罗河为例

详细梳理了埃及阿斯旺建坝后尼罗河三角洲和近海营养盐研究成果,重点剖析了营养盐来源、分布规律和对渔业产生的生态效应.研究表明:在阿斯旺建坝初期,由于下泄营养盐减少,泻湖和近海的产鱼量明显降低;随着三角洲地区化学肥料的大量施用,产鱼量逐渐恢复,甚至高于建坝前,但是一些湖泊也出现了营养盐输入过高制约产鱼量的现象.埃及近海由于N、P输入增加,导致了部分水体出现磷限制,进而抑制初级生产力.针对我国三峡建坝、营养盐输送与长江河口生态环境响应,提出一些设想和今后应关注的研究方向.

Calcineurin/NFAT signalling regulates pancreatic beta-cell growth and function

The growth and function of organs such as pancreatic islets adapt to meet physiological challenges and maintain metabolic balance, but the mechanisms controlling these facultative responses are unclear. Diabetes in patients treated with calcineurin inhibitors such as cyclosporin A indicates that calcineurin/nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT) signalling might control adaptive islet responses, but the roles of this pathway in beta-cells in vivo are not understood. Here we show that mice with a beta-cell-specific deletion of the calcineurin phosphatase regulatory subunit, calcineurin b1 (Cnb1), develop age-dependent diabetes characterized by decreased beta-cell proliferation and mass, reduced pancreatic insulin content and hypoinsulinaemia. Moreover, beta-cells lacking Cnb1 have a reduced expression of established regulators of beta-cell proliferation. Conditional expression of active NFATc1 in Cnb1-deficient beta-cells rescues these defects and prevents diabetes. In normal adult beta-cells, conditional NFAT activation promotes the expression of cell-cycle regulators and increases beta-cell proliferation and mass, resulting in hyperinsulinaemia. Conditional NFAT activation also induces the expression of genes critical for beta-cell endocrine function, including all six genes mutated in hereditary forms of monogenic type 2 diabetes. Thus, calcineurin/NFAT signalling regulates multiple factors that control growth and hallmark beta-cell functions, revealing unique models for the pathogenesis and therapy of diabetes.

TMP21 is a presenilin complex component that modulates gamma-secretase but not epsilon-secretase activity

The presenilin proteins (PS1 and PS2) and their interacting partners nicastrin, aph-1 (refs 4, 5) and pen-2 (ref. 5) form a series of high-molecular-mass, membrane-bound protein complexes that are necessary for gamma-secretase and epsilon-secretase cleavage of selected type 1 transmembrane proteins, including the amyloid precursor protein, Notch and cadherins. Modest cleavage activity can be generated by reconstituting these four proteins in yeast and Spodoptera frugiperda (sf9) cells. However, a critical but unanswered question about the biology of the presenilin complexes is how their activity is modulated in terms of substrate specificity and/or relative activities at the gamma and epsilon sites. A corollary to this question is whether additional proteins in the presenilin complexes might subsume these putative regulatory functions. The hypothesis that additional proteins might exist in the presenilin complexes is supported by the fact that enzymatically active complexes have a mass that is much greater than predicted for a 1:1:1:1 stoichiometric complex (at least 650 kDa observed, compared with about 220 kDa predicted). To address these questions we undertook a search for presenilin-interacting proteins that differentially affected gamma- and epsilon-site cleavage events. Here we report that TMP21, a member of the p24 cargo protein family, is a component of presenilin complexes and differentially regulates gamma-secretase cleavage without affecting epsilon-secretase activity.
