Evidence of vacuolar compartmentalization of arsenic in the hyperaccumulator Pteris vittata

Pteris vittata can hyperaccumulate arsenic （As） to 〉1% of its dry weight without showing any signs of toxicity, indicating the existence of effective plant-internal detoxificaUon mechanisms. Although vacuolar compartmentalization is known to play an important role in heavy metal detoxification and tolerance, direct evidence of arsenic compartmentalization in this hyperaccumulator was lacking. Here we report the subcellular localization of As in the callus of P. vittata. The callus induced from gametophytes of P. vittata exposed to 0.2 mmol/L arsenate for 20 days were examined by directly isolating cell walls, protoplasts and vacuoles, and determining arsenic concentrations. Of the total As in the callus, about 94% was in the protoplast, and of that, 91% was present in the vacuoles, indicating that vacuoles are a major storage site for As in P. vittata. In addition, the changes in the chemical components of vacuoles were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FTIR）.     

基于非线性干扰观测器的二阶动态Terminal滑模在近空间飞行器控制中的应用

针对近空间飞行器飞行包络大、飞行速度快、气动参数变化剧烈、系统建模存在不确定性、受外界扰动大和控制精度要求高等特点,首先设计了基于二阶动态Terminal滑模的控制方案.Terminal滑模能在有限时间收敛的特性加快了系统跟踪速度;二阶动态滑模的引入,使得滑模面及其部分阶导数为零,并且得到在时间本质上连续的控制器,有效克服了传统滑模的抖振问题.然后采用非线性干扰观测器逼近复合干扰.根据复合干扰逼近值设计控制器补偿项,进一步提高控制精度和削弱抖振.基于李雅普诺夫理论,严格证明了系统稳定性.最后将所设计控制方案用于近空间飞行器姿态角跟踪仿真实验,仿真结果表明了该控制方案跟踪精度高、速度快、鲁棒性强,且有效去除了滑模的抖振.

提出了一种基于13．56MHz激发的微感应耦合等离子体射流源,含碳的等离子体射流在绕有水冷线圈的石英管中产生．激光拉曼光谱及紫外-可见光谱分别用以研究基片负偏压对所生长的非晶碳膜结构特征的影响．结果表明：碳基微等离子体射流具有很强的活性,碳膜的生长速率高达0．8μm／min,但随着衬底负偏压的增加而降低;Raman光谱显示在1350cm^-1、1580cm^-1附近存在D峰、G峰,是典型的类金刚石碳膜;薄膜中碳主要以sp^2、sp^3碳及无序的聚合碳链形式存在,随偏压的增加,薄膜中聚物碳链结构被打断,分解形成sp^2、sp^3碳杂化态,Raman荧光本底减弱,sp^2和sp^3的含量之比增加,光学带隙呈现降低趋势．     

An online self-adapting control approach for bell annealers

A suit of online self-adapting control (OSAC) approach has been developed to predict and optimize annealing craft system. The approach consists of three critical parts including prediction module, self-adapting optimization module, and self-learning amendment module. Firstly, the prediction module and self-adapting optimization module are based on the modeling methods. The self-adapting optimization module consists of two parts including “reappearance of annealed process” and “optimization of subsequent annealing process”. Secondly, the self-learning amendment module, based on furnace atmosphere, equipment performance, and compensation coefficients, is designed to improve the accuracy of optimization results. The results obtained from the proposed approach, usually finished in about 3 min, are in good agreement with the test values, such as the deviation of temperature for hot-spot and cold-spot are within 10 K, the relative errors are within 1.1%, and the accuracy of annealing for heating period is increased by using self-learning amendment module.     

Early association of electrocardiogram alteration with infarct size and cardiac function after myocardial infarction

OBJECTIVE: Myocardial infarction (MI) is the main cause of heart failure, but the relationship between the extent of MI and cardiac function has not been clearly determined. The present study was undertaken to investigate early changes in the electrocardiogram associated with infarct size and cardiac function after MI. METHODS: MI was induced by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery in rats. Electrocardiograms, echocardiographs and hemodynamic parameters were assessed and myocardial infarct size was measured from mid-transverse sections stained with Masson's trichrome. RESULTS: The sum of pathological Q wave amplitudes was strongly correlated with myocardial infarct size (r = 0.920, P < 0.0001), left ventricular ejection fraction (r = -0.868, P < 0.0001) and left ventricular end diastolic pressure (r = 0.835, P < 0.0004). Furthermore, there was close relationship between MI size and cardiac function as assessed by left ventricular ejection fraction (r = -0.913, P < 0.0001) and left ventricular end diastolic pressure (r = 0.893, P < 0.0001). CONCLUSION: The sum of pathological Q wave amplitudes after MI can be used to estimate the extent of MI as well as cardiac function.

Perfluorinated compounds in milk,milk powder and yoghurt purchased from markets in China

The exposure to perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) through the diet for humans is of great concern. Among the diet, dairy products are in great demand. This paper reports the study on the levels of 9 perfluorinated acids and 2 fluorotelomer acids in milk, milk powder and yoghurt purchased from Chinese markets from 2008 to 2009. The analytes were quantitated by high performance liquid chromatography/electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS/MS). In milk samples, perfluoroheptanoic acid (PFHpA) and perf...
