Concentrations of “elemental carbon” in samples from the Peking Man Site at Zhoukoudian and the possibility of their application in the development of evidence for the use of fire by humans

Elemental carbon?EC) is a C-rich, O-H-S-N-depleted substance that is necessarily produced in the process of combustion. Due to the logn-term use of fire by cave-inhabiting ape-men, considerable amounts of 揺lemen-tal carbon?would be necessarily left behind in the corre-sponding strata inside the cave. The sepaation of EC was effected by the chemical method and the contents of carbon were determined on an element analyser and a self-made measuring system. The concentration of Ec in the hearth,the exhibited ash samples collected from near the hearth un-earthed in the 1930s, and the three samples of accumulated material collected from the tenth bed are 43.74%, 1.77%,3.88%,1.87% and 1.11%,respectively; those of the equivalent samples from the tenth bed outside the cave and samples from the fourth and seventh beds are at least one order of magnitude lower than the former抯. The above re-sults show that the sampling location of the tenth bed may be close to the hearth. Sampling over a wider range may lead to the finding of a location where the concentrations of EC are corresponding to the maximum values of EC in the hearth. The determination and study of EC may provide new evi-dence for the use of fire by Peking Man.     

Blue emission from hydrogen-containing a-Si：H／SiO2 multilayers and the investigation of its mechanism

A series of hydrogen-containing a-Si:H/SiO2 multilayers with different a-Si:H sublayer thickness were fabricated by layer-by-layer deposition and in situ plasma oxidation in a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition system (PECVD). Optical induced blue emission from the samples was observed by the naked eye at room temperature, which has never been reported in the luminescence study of Si/SiO2 multilayers up to now. Both the photoluminescence (PL) peak and the absorption edge show a blue shift as the a-Si:H sublayer thickness decreases. The origin of the blue emission and the effect of hydrogen are discussed.

Statins: the new aspirin?

3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors, or statins, have been described as the principal and the most effective class of drug to reduce serum cholesterol levels. Statin therapies have been shown to reduce cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarction, stroke, and death, significantly, by altering vascular atherosclerosis development in patients with or without coronary artery disease symptoms. Extensive use of statins has led to the increase of some undesirable effects that are heavily counterbalanced by the benefits. Indeed, pleiotropic effects extend far beyond cholesterol reduction and involve non-lipid-related mechanisms that modify endothelial functions, immunoinflammatory responses, smooth muscle cell activation, proliferation and migration, atherosclerotic plaque stability, and thrombus formation. In this review, we describe in detail the targets and mechanisms of action of statins.

纳米复合永磁合金Nd9Fe85-xB6Mnx的XAFS研究

为了研究淬火速度及Mn掺杂对纳米复合Nd-Fe－B磁性材料微结构的影响,利用XAFS技术对不同淬火速度的Nd9Fe84.5B6Mn0.5样品及退火和未退火的Nd9Fe84.5B6Mn0.5（x－0．5和1．0）样品,进行了Fe原子局域结构的分析。结果表明,纳为复合Nd9Fe84.5B6Mn0.5噘性材料随着淬火速度的增另,Fe原子的最近邻配位距离单上,而配位无序度的变化较为复杂。退火前,掺杂微量Mn原子进入磁体的Nd2Fe14B主相晶体结构,掺杂量不同对主相局域结构的影响有明显差异。退火后,Mn原子退出磁体的主相结构,进入晶界或产生富集,没有发现掺杂量不同对主相局域 结构的影响,但对整个磁体的磁性仍然有不同的影响。     

社区环境建设中的经济分析--兼谈上海市五里桥街道的案例

社区环境建设的滞后已直接成为制约社区生活质量提高的"瓶颈".如何在社区层面上构建一整套具有"人本化"特征和创新意义的制度安排,以适应居民迅速提高的对社区环境的进一步质量要求,将成为未来一个时期大都市社区建设的主要内容.从生态层面来获得对社区环境的再认识,是社区工作亟待加强的一个方面.社区生态可以看作是社区行为主体--居民与生活环境之间的互动现象,具体可分为基地环境、社区或邻里环境和住所环境三个生态层次.

临氢条件下CO偶联合成草酸二乙酯反应的原位红外研究

利用原位红外光谱技术测定了临氢条件下CO和亚硝酸乙酯在催化剂上吸附的红外光谱,发现氢气会影响CO在催化剂活性中心上的吸附,且氢气与CO会发生甲烷化反应,氢气与亚硝酸乙酯反应生成乙醇和少量的乙腈,因此,CO催化偶联反应中加入氢气后,CO的转化率和草酸二乙酯选择性均降低。
