多孔结构纺锤形α-Fe2O3的合成及光催化性能

采用碳酸钠和氢氧化钠为沉淀剂,在没有表面活性剂存在的情况下,通过水热法合成得到具有多孔结构的纺锤形α-Fe2O3,单颗粒长约为500 nm,孔径约为50nm.利用X线衍射(XRD)、透射电镜(TEM)、扫描电镜(SEM)和选区电子衍射(SAED)对产物的结构和形貌进行表征,并对多孔结构的形成机理进行解释.通过对甲基橙溶液的降解实验考查产物的光催化性能.光催化实验结果表明其催化性能优于一般α-Fe2O3纳米颗粒,这可能是由于其多孔结构和较大的比表面积造成的.

Global awareness, future city design and decision making

Our world has been changing at an exponential rate.As a result of this rapid growth,we will be forced to make changes in not only the way we live in the environment but also in the environment itself such as designing the cities of the future to be in greater harmony with the increasing population and growing complexity.The paper contains both reflections on global awareness and comprehensive criteria and their priorities for choosing the most desirable city.     

A massive cloud of cold atomic hydrogen in the outer Galaxy.

A large fraction of the mass of the interstellar medium in our Galaxy is in the form of warm (103-104 K) and cool (50-100 K) atomic hydrogen (H i) gas. Cold (10-30 K) regions are thought to be dominated by dense clouds of molecular hydrogen. Cold H i is difficult to observe, and therefore our knowledge of its abundance and distribution in the interstellar medium is poor. The few known clouds of cold H i are much smaller in size and mass than typical molecular clouds. Here we report the discovery that the H i supershell GSH139-03-69 is very cold (10 K). It is about 2 kiloparsecs in size and as massive as the largest molecular complexes. The existence of such an immense structure composed of cold atomic hydrogen in the interstellar medium runs counter to the prevailing view that cold gas resides almost exclusively in clouds dominated by molecular hydrogen.

Repeat I of the dihydropyridine receptor is critical in determining calcium channel activation kinetics.

Membrane depolarization causes many kinds of ion channels to open, a process termed activation. For both Na+ channels and Ca2+ channels, kinetic analysis of current has suggested that during activation the channel undergoes several conformational changes before reaching the open state. Structurally, these channels share a common motif: the central element is a large polypeptide with four repeating units of homology (repeats I-IV), each containing a voltage-sensing region, the S4 segment. This suggests that the distinct conformational transitions inferred from kinetic analysis may be equated with conformational changes of the individual structural repeats. To investigate the molecular basis of channel activation, we constructed complementary DNAs encoding chimaeric Ca2+ channels in which one or more of the four repeats of the skeletal muscle dihydropyridine receptor are replaced by the corresponding repeats derived from the cardiac dihydropyridine receptor. We report here that repeat I determines whether the chimaeric Ca2+ channel shows slow (skeletal muscle-like) or rapid (cardiac-like) activation.     

On the complexity of self.

Self peptides bound to self major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules have been implicated both in positive and in negative selection of T cells during intrathymic development. We report here that the novel MHC-restricted monoclonal antibody Y-Ae detects the MHC class II bound form of a major self peptide. Y-Ae binds approximately 12% of the relevant MHC class II molecules on self antigen presenting cells. The peptide detected by Y-Ae is one of several major peptides eluted from the MHC molecule. These data suggest that self peptides presented by self MHC class II molecules at densities sufficient to signal a CD4 T cell are of very limited complexity. Furthermore, as Y-Ae stains antigen presenting cells that mediate negative selection but not thymic cortical epithelial cells that drive positive selection, differential expression of self peptide:self MHC class II complexes may be a key feature of intrathymic selection.
