[Method] Three precursors were added into the MS rooting medium for A. lancea tissue culture plantlets and the volatile oil was extracted by ultrasonication after cultured for several days. The content of atractylon, atractylol, β-eucalyptol and atractydin in the volatile oil were determined by using gas chromatography method. [Result] The addition of xylose, isoprene and tetrahydrofuran impacted the growth indicators, yield of volatile oil and relative percentage content of the four constituents of A. lancea tissue culture plantlets. In the 6 g/L xylose optimized medium, the atractylon and β-eucalyptol content reached up to 4.23% and 56.34%, respectively, 1.41% and 1.66% higher than the control; although the addition of isoprene into medium raised the atractylon content, the accumulation of total volatile oil was inhibited that it decreased by 23.67%, 31.06% and 7.10% to the control; for the tetrahydrofuran optimized medium, the content of atractylon, atractylol and atractydin all increased, and the total volatile oil content increased by 49.97% to the control when the concentration of tetrahydrofuran was 0.07 g/L. [Conclusion] The addition of xylose and tetrahydrofuran promoted the accumulation of principal constituents of the volatile oil, whereas the addition of isoprene inhibited the accumulation.展开更多

The PBSis were characterized by gel permeation chromatography, IR spectroscopy as well as ^1H-, ^29Si- and ^11B-NMR. PBSi modified phenol-formaldehyde resins （PBSi/PFs） were prepared at different PBSi/PF mass ratios and were cured at 150 ℃. The PBSi/PFs were characterized by IR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and tensile test. The results revealed that the cured PBSi/PFs had sea-island morphology and higher char yield than the common PF. PBSi/PF blend with PBSi/PF mass ratio of 0.4：1 had char yield up to 70.83% at 800 ℃. The PBSi/PFs had tensile strength similar to PF. The ceramization of PBSi/PFs was also studied. The silicon boron oxycarbide （SiBOC） ceramics formed were characterized by IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. This method provided a valuable way to prepare easily shapeable polymer blends as ceramic precursors.展开更多

Amorphous powders with the nominal composition of Nd_28.72Fe_balCo_5.66 Ga_0.59B_0.92 （wt%） were used as the starting material. The results show that the amorphous powders would suffer varying degrees of crystallization even below the crystal- lization point during the SPS process under high pressure. And the pre-crystallized grains in precursors have great impacts on the microstructure and magnetic properties of the hot-deformed magnets. The final obtained anisotropic magnets exhibit homogeneous microstructure consisting of well-aligned and platelet-shaped Nd_2Fe_14B grains without abnormal growth. It can be found that a reasonable pro- portion of pre-crystallized gains could promote the pref- erential orientation in the magnet, leading to the achievement of optimal magnetic properties among the magnets with identical composition and best magnetic performance is achieved in the magnet hot deformed from the 490 ℃ high-pressure hot-pressed precursor.展开更多

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscope (SEM), density method and optical microscope were used to characterize the preoxidation extent. A conventional approach, e.g., density aim, to evaluate the extent of preoxidation is not very exact. A DSC curve of a PAN precursor only can provide general information, major in the temperature regime of preoxidation reaction. However, the evaluation of a preoxidation extent, especially from conventional preoxidation temperature with a great span regime of 200~400癈, is put forward in this paper, in which the evolution of core/shell morphological structure is a kind of straightforward evidence.展开更多

Two pilot-scale experiments(ICME-UBAF and UBAF alone) were used to investigate the effect of the ICME system on the removal of organic matter and DBP precursors. The results showed that ICME pretreatment removed 15.6% of dissolved organic matter(DOM)and significantly improved the removal rate in the subsequent UBAF process. The ICME system removed 31% of trichloromethane(TCM) precursors and 20% of dichloroacetonitrile(DCAN) precursors. The results of measurements of the molecular weight distribution and hydrophilic fractions of DOM and DBP precursors showed that ICME pretreatment played a key role in breaking large-molecular-weight organic matter into low-molecular-weight components, and the hydrophobic fraction into hydrophilic compounds, which was favorable for subsequent biodegradation by UBAF.Three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy(3D-EEM) further indicated that the ICME system improved the removal of TCM and DCAN precursors. The biomass analysis indicated the presence of a larger and more diverse microbial community in the ICME-UBAF system than for the UBAF alone. The high-throughput sequencing results revealed that domination of the genera Sphingomonas, Brevundimonas and Sphingorhabdus contributed to the better removal of organic matter and two types of DBP precursors. Also, Nitrosomonas and Pseudomonas were beneficial for ammonia removal.展开更多

The effect of pH value on microstructure of the nano precursors of La-Mg hydrogen storage alloy was studied by infrared radiation (IR), thermo-gravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA), X-ray diffraction analyzer (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). IR results indicate that the chelating agent, citric acid, is not fully ionized, and carboxyl groups are not entirely used to complex metal ions in acidic solutions. The efficiency of complexing metal ions is enhanced in basic solutions. TG/DTA results show that the combustion may take place with low rate of the flame propagation that causes the longer combustion time when pH<1.5. On the contrary, the dry gel synthesized in basic solution combusts at low ignition temperature and combustion reaction is violent; it is easy to form fine particles. XRD and TEM results reveal that the precursor powders are mainly two-phase mixture of La 2 O 3 and MgO. The morphology of the particles is almost flake with the size of ~30 nm when pH is 8.0.展开更多

The sulfidation degree and morphology of active phases of MoS_2 activated by various molybdate precursors in H_2S/H_2 stream at different temperatures were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM). The organic molybdate precursors lead to MoS_2 catalysts with higher sulfidation degree and smaller active phases to demonstrate higher catalytic activity during hydrodesulfurizaiton(HDS) of 4,6-DMDBT.展开更多

文摘Bone resorption by osteoclasts is a critical step in bone remodeling,a process important for maintaining bone homeostasis and repairing injured bone.We previously identified a bone marrow mesenchymal subpopulation,marrow adipogenic lineage precursors(MALPs),and showed that its production of RANKL stimulates bone resorption in young mice using Adipoq-Cre.To exclude developmental defects and to investigate the role of MALPs-derived RANKL in adult bone,we generated inducible reporter mice(Adipoq-CreER Tomato)and RANKL deficient mice(Adipoq-CreER RANKLflox/flox,iCKO).Single cell-RNA sequencing data analysis and lineage tracing revealed that Adipoq+cells contain not only MALPs but also some mesenchymal progenitors capable of osteogenic differentiation.In situ hybridization showed that RANKL mRNA is only detected in MALPs,but not in osteogenic cells.RANKL deficiency in MALPs induced at 3 months of age rapidly increased trabecular bone mass in long bones as well as vertebrae due to diminished bone resorption but had no effect on the cortical bone.Ovariectomy(OVX)induced trabecular bone loss at both sites.RANKL depletion either before OVX or at 6 weeks post OVX protected and restored trabecular bone mass.Furthermore,bone healing after drill-hole injury was delayed in iCKO mice.Together,our findings demonstrate that MALPs play a dominant role in controlling trabecular bone resorption and that RANKL from MALPs is essential for trabecular bone turnover in adult bone homeostasis,postmenopausal bone loss,and injury repair.

文摘Rockburst precursors are critical for disaster warning,yet the complexity of rockburst has hindered the identification of a unified precursor.Furthermore,the influence of loading rates(LRs)on acoustic emission(AE)precursors in different rock types remains poorly understood.This study investigates the AE characteristics and early warning times of rockburst in slate and mica-schist under four LRs(0.05,0.15,0.25,and 0.5 MPa/s)using true triaxial unloading tests.The micro-crack state of the samples was evaluated using entropy,while critical slowing down(CSD)theory was applied to interpret AE precursors.The results reveal that as the LR increases,the rockburst stress of both rocks initially rises and then declines,with mica-schist exhibiting more severe damage and a higher dominance of tensile cracks.Notably,identifying rockburst precursors in mica-schist proved more challenging compared to slate.Among the methods tested,AE amplitude variance outperformed entropy in precursor identification.Additionally,the rockburst early warning time was found to be negatively correlated with the LR,with mica-schist consistently showing shorter warning times than slate.The CSD-derived precursor,due to its enhanced sensitivity,is recommended for early warning systems.These findings provide new insights into the role of LRs in rockburst dynamics and offer practical guidance for improving precursor identification and disaster mitigation strategies.
文摘The increasing sophistication of cyberattacks,coupled with the limitations of rule-based detection systems,underscores the urgent need for proactive and intelligent cybersecurity solutions.Traditional intrusion detection systems often struggle with detecting early-stage threats,particularly in dynamic environments such as IoT,SDNs,and cloud infrastructures.These systems are hindered by high false positive rates,poor adaptability to evolving threats,and reliance on large labeled datasets.To address these challenges,this paper introduces CyberGuard-X,an AI-driven framework designed to identify attack precursors—subtle indicators of malicious intent—before full-scale intrusions occur.CyberGuard-X integrates anomaly detection,time-series analysis,and multi-stage classification within a scalable architecture.The model leverages deep learning techniques such as autoencoders,LSTM networks,and Transformer layers,supported by semi-supervised learning to enhance detection of zero-day and rare threats.Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets(CICIDS2017,CSE-CIC-IDS2018,and UNSW-NB15)demonstrate strong results,including 96.1%accuracy,94.7%precision,and 95.3%recall,while achieving a zero-day detection rate of 84.5%.With an inference time of 12.8 ms and 34.5%latency reduction,the model supports real-time deployment in resource-constrained environments.CyberGuard-X not only surpasses baseline models like LSTM and Random Forest but also enhances proactive threat mitigation across diverse network settings.

文摘[Objective] This study was to explore the effect of three precursors on the accumulation of principal volatile oil constituents in tissue culture plantlets of Atractylodes lancea （Thunb.） DC. with the aim to provide references for the improvement of artificial cultivated A. lancea quality. [Method] Three precursors were added into the MS rooting medium for A. lancea tissue culture plantlets and the volatile oil was extracted by ultrasonication after cultured for several days. The content of atractylon, atractylol, β-eucalyptol and atractydin in the volatile oil were determined by using gas chromatography method. [Result] The addition of xylose, isoprene and tetrahydrofuran impacted the growth indicators, yield of volatile oil and relative percentage content of the four constituents of A. lancea tissue culture plantlets. In the 6 g/L xylose optimized medium, the atractylon and β-eucalyptol content reached up to 4.23% and 56.34%, respectively, 1.41% and 1.66% higher than the control; although the addition of isoprene into medium raised the atractylon content, the accumulation of total volatile oil was inhibited that it decreased by 23.67%, 31.06% and 7.10% to the control; for the tetrahydrofuran optimized medium, the content of atractylon, atractylol and atractydin all increased, and the total volatile oil content increased by 49.97% to the control when the concentration of tetrahydrofuran was 0.07 g/L. [Conclusion] The addition of xylose and tetrahydrofuran promoted the accumulation of principal constituents of the volatile oil, whereas the addition of isoprene inhibited the accumulation.

文摘Two series of Mn/beta and Mn/ZSM‐5catalysts were prepared to study the influence of how different Mn precursors,introduced to the respective parent zeolites by wet impregnation,affected the selective catalytic reduction(SCR)of NO by NH3across a low reaction temperature window of50–350°C.In this study,the catalysts were characterized using N2adsorption/desorption,X‐ray diffraction,X‐ray fluorescence,H2temperature‐programmed reduction,NH3temperature‐programmed desorption and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy.As the manganese chloride precursor only partially decomposed this primarily resulted in the formation of MnCl2in addition to the presence of low levels of crystalline Mn3O4,which resulted in poor catalytic performance.However,the manganese nitrate precursor formed crystalline MnO2as the major phase in addition to a minor presence of unconverted Mn‐nitrate.Furthermore,manganese acetate resulted principally in a mixture of amorphous Mn2O3and MnO2,and crystalline Mn3O4.From all the catalysts screened,the test performance data showed Mn/beta‐Ac to exhibit the highest NO conversion(97.5%)at240°C,which remained>90%across a temperature window of220–350°C.The excellent catalytic performance was ascribed to the enrichment of highly dispersed MnOx(Mn2O3and MnO2)species that act as the active phase in the NH3‐SCR process.Furthermore,together with a suitable amount of weakly acidic centers,higher concentration of surface manganese and a greater presence of surface labile oxygen groups,SCR performance was collectively enhanced at low temperature.?2018,Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics,Chinese Academy of Sciences.Published by Elsevier B.V.All rights reserved.

文摘This study uses the WRF-Chem model combined with the empirical kinetic modeling method(EKMA curve)to study the compound pollution event in Beijing that happened in 13−23 May 2017.Sensitivity tests are conducted to analyze ozone sensitivity to its precursors,and to develop emission reduction measures.The results suggest that the model can accurately simulate the compound pollution process of photochemistry and haze.When VOCs and NOx were reduced by the same proportion,the effect of O_(3)reduction at peak time was more obvious,and the effect during daytime was more significant than at night.The degree of change in ozone was peak time>daytime average.When reducing or increasing the ratio of precursors by 25%at the same time,the effect of reducing 25%VOCs on the average ozone concentration reduction was most significant.The degree of change in ozone decreased with increasing altitude,the location of the ozone maximum change shifted westward,and its range narrowed.As the altitude increases,the VOCs-limited zone decreases,VOCs sensitivity decreases,NOx sensitivity increases.The controlled area changed from near-surface VOCs-limited to high-altitude NOx-limited.Upon examining the EKMA curve,we have found that suburban and urban are sensitive to VOCs.The sensitivity tests indicate that when VOCs in suburban are reduced about 60%,the O_(3)-1h concentration could reach the standard,and when VOCs of the urban decreased by about 50%,the O_(3)-1h concentration could reach the standard.Thus,these findings could provide references for the control of compound air pollution in Beijing.
文摘Two polyborosiloxanes （PBSis） with char yield up to 74.13% at 800 ℃ were synthesized by the direct polycondensation of boric acid with phenyltrimethoxysilane in diglyme. The PBSis were characterized by gel permeation chromatography, IR spectroscopy as well as ^1H-, ^29Si- and ^11B-NMR. PBSi modified phenol-formaldehyde resins （PBSi/PFs） were prepared at different PBSi/PF mass ratios and were cured at 150 ℃. The PBSi/PFs were characterized by IR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and tensile test. The results revealed that the cured PBSi/PFs had sea-island morphology and higher char yield than the common PF. PBSi/PF blend with PBSi/PF mass ratio of 0.4：1 had char yield up to 70.83% at 800 ℃. The PBSi/PFs had tensile strength similar to PF. The ceramization of PBSi/PFs was also studied. The silicon boron oxycarbide （SiBOC） ceramics formed were characterized by IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. This method provided a valuable way to prepare easily shapeable polymer blends as ceramic precursors.

文摘Due to the influences of precursors emissions,meteorology,geography and other factors,ozone formation sensitivity(OFS)is generally spatially and temporally heterogeneous.This study characterized detailed spatial and temporal variations of OFS in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area(GBA)from 2012 to 2016 based on OMI satellite data,and analyzed the relationships of OFS with precursors emissions,meteorology and land use types(LUTs).From 2012 to 2016,the OFS tended to be NOx-limited in GBA,with the value of FNR(HCHO/NO 2)increasing from 2.04 to 2.22.According to the total annual emission statistics of precursors,NOx emissions decreased by 33.1%and VOCs emissions increased by 35.2%from 2012 to 2016,directly resulting in OFS tending to be NO x-limited.The Grey Relation Analysis results show that total column water(TCW),surface net solar radiation(SSR),air temperature at 2 m(T2)and surface pressure(SP)are the top four meteorological factors with the greatest influences on OFS.There are significant positive correlations between FNR and T2,SSR,TCW,and significant negative correlations between FNR and SP.In GBA,the OFS tends to be NO x-limited regime in wet season(higher T2,SSR,TCW and lower SP)and VOCs-limited regime in dry season(lower T2,SSR,TCW and higher SP).The FNR displays obvious gradient variations on different LUTs,with the highest in“Rural areas”,second in“Suburban areas”and lowest in“Urban areas”.

文摘Anisotropic magnets were obtained by hot deformation with the partial crystallized precursor prepared via spark-plasma sintering （SPS）. Amorphous powders with the nominal composition of Nd_28.72Fe_balCo_5.66 Ga_0.59B_0.92 （wt%） were used as the starting material. The results show that the amorphous powders would suffer varying degrees of crystallization even below the crystal- lization point during the SPS process under high pressure. And the pre-crystallized grains in precursors have great impacts on the microstructure and magnetic properties of the hot-deformed magnets. The final obtained anisotropic magnets exhibit homogeneous microstructure consisting of well-aligned and platelet-shaped Nd_2Fe_14B grains without abnormal growth. It can be found that a reasonable pro- portion of pre-crystallized gains could promote the pref- erential orientation in the magnet, leading to the achievement of optimal magnetic properties among the magnets with identical composition and best magnetic performance is achieved in the magnet hot deformed from the 490 ℃ high-pressure hot-pressed precursor.

文摘Structural changes in carbon fibers at each stage of, especially, preoxidation process are well known to play a great role in achieving the ultimate product quality. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscope (SEM), density method and optical microscope were used to characterize the preoxidation extent. A conventional approach, e.g., density aim, to evaluate the extent of preoxidation is not very exact. A DSC curve of a PAN precursor only can provide general information, major in the temperature regime of preoxidation reaction. However, the evaluation of a preoxidation extent, especially from conventional preoxidation temperature with a great span regime of 200~400癈, is put forward in this paper, in which the evolution of core/shell morphological structure is a kind of straightforward evidence.

文摘The organic matter and two types of disinfection byproduct(DBP) precursors in micropolluted source water were removed using an iron–carbon micro-electrolysis(ICME)combined with up-flow biological aerated filter(UBAF) process. Two pilot-scale experiments(ICME-UBAF and UBAF alone) were used to investigate the effect of the ICME system on the removal of organic matter and DBP precursors. The results showed that ICME pretreatment removed 15.6% of dissolved organic matter(DOM)and significantly improved the removal rate in the subsequent UBAF process. The ICME system removed 31% of trichloromethane(TCM) precursors and 20% of dichloroacetonitrile(DCAN) precursors. The results of measurements of the molecular weight distribution and hydrophilic fractions of DOM and DBP precursors showed that ICME pretreatment played a key role in breaking large-molecular-weight organic matter into low-molecular-weight components, and the hydrophobic fraction into hydrophilic compounds, which was favorable for subsequent biodegradation by UBAF.Three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy(3D-EEM) further indicated that the ICME system improved the removal of TCM and DCAN precursors. The biomass analysis indicated the presence of a larger and more diverse microbial community in the ICME-UBAF system than for the UBAF alone. The high-throughput sequencing results revealed that domination of the genera Sphingomonas, Brevundimonas and Sphingorhabdus contributed to the better removal of organic matter and two types of DBP precursors. Also, Nitrosomonas and Pseudomonas were beneficial for ammonia removal.

文摘Chilled chicken has become the mainstream of chicken consumption.In order to explore the effect of post-mortem aging on water-soluble flavor precursors of chicken,pH,adenosine triphosphate(ATP)degradation,flavor nucleosides,free amino acids and water-soluble low molecular weight peptides were determined using Qingyuan partridge yellow-feathered broilers as material during 0-4℃ post-mortem aging in 48 h.The results showed that the pH value fell to the limit pH 5.64(4 h)in chicken breast and 6.21(3 h)in thigh.Regardless of chicken breast or thigh,ATP dropped rapidly within 3 h.It was found that the K-value in chicken thigh was the lowest at 2 h indicating the freshness was the best.Considering the equivalent umami concentration(EUC),the value at 3 h and 4 h was relatively high,but the corresponding electronic tongue umami value was not high,which further showed that the water-soluble low molecular taste peptide played an important role on the post-mortem aging process.Combined with cluster analysis and partial least squares discriminant analysis(PLS-DA),it was preliminarily inferred that the optimal time for chilled chicken during 0-4℃ post-mortem aging was 2 h,which could provide a theoretical basis for the further processing of fresh chicken.

文摘Tracing the contamination origins in water sources and identifying the impacts of natural and human processes are essential for ecological safety and public health.However,current analysis approaches are not ideal,as they tend to be laborious,time-consuming,or technically difficult.Disinfection byproducts(DBPs)are a family of well-known secondary pollutants formed by the reactions of chemical disinfectants with DBP precursors during water disinfection treatment.Since DBP precursors have various origins(e.g.,natural,domestic,industrial,and agricultural sources),and since the formation of DBPs from different precursors in the presence of specific disinfectants is distinctive,we argue that DBPs and DBP precursors can serve as alternative indicators to assess the contamination in water sources and identify pollution origins.After providing a retrospective of the origins of DBPs and DBP precursors,as well as the specific formation patterns of DBPs from different precursors,this article presents an overview of the impacts of various natural and anthropogenic factors on DBPs and DBP precursors in drinking water sources.In practice,the DBPs(i.e.,their concentration and speciation)originally present in source water and the DBP precursors determined using DBP formation potential tests—in which water samples are dosed with a stoichiometric excess of specific disinfectants in order to maximize DBP formation under certain reaction conditions—can be considered as alternative metrics.When jointly used with other water quality parameters(e.g.,dissolved organic carbon,dissolved organic nitrogen,fluorescence,and molecular weight distribution)and specific contaminants of emerging concern(e.g.,certain pharmaceuticals and personal care products),DBPs and DBP precursors in drinking water sources can provide a more comprehensive picture of water pollution for better managing water resources and ensuring human health.

文摘Continuous aggravated surface O_(3) over North China Plain(NCP)has attracted widely public concern.Herein,we evaluated the effects of changes in aerosols,precursor emissions,and meteorology on O_(3) in summer(June)of 2015–2019 over NCP via 8 scenarios with WRF-Chem model.The simulated mean MDA8 O_(3) in urban areas of 13 major cities in NCP increased by 17.1%∼34.8%,which matched well with the observations(10.8%∼33.1%).Meanwhile,the model could faithfully reproduce the changes in aerosol loads,precursors,and meteorological conditions.A relatively-even O_(3) increase(+1.2%∼+3.9%for 24-h O_(3) and+1.0%∼+3.8%for MDA8 O_(3))was induced by PM_(2.5) dropping,which was consistent with the geographic distribution of regional PM_(2.5) reduction.Meanwhile,the NO_(2) reduction coupled with a nearconstant VOCs led to the elevated VOCs/NOx ratios,and then caused O_(3) rising in the areas under VOCs-limited regimes.Therein,the pronounced increases occurred in Handan,Xingtai,Shijiazhuang,Tangshan,and Langfang(+10.7%∼+13.6%for 24-h O_(3) and+10.2%∼+12.2%forMDA8 O_(3));while the increases in other citieswere 5.7%∼10.5%for 24-h O_(3) and 4.9%∼9.2%for MDA8 O_(3).Besides,the meteorological fluctuations brought about the more noticeable O_(3) increases in northern parts(+12.5%∼+13.5%for 24-h O_(3) and+11.2%∼+12.4%for MDA8 O_(3))than those in southern and central parts(+3.2%∼+9.3%for 24-h O_(3) and+3.7%∼+8.8%for MDA8 O_(3)).The sum of the impacts of the three drivers reached 16.7%∼21.9%,which were comparable to the changes of the observed O_(3).Therefore,exploring reasonable emissionsreduction strategies is essential for the ozone pollution mitigation over this region.

文摘Sol-gel technology was employed to synthesize nanosized precursors of La-Mg hydrogen storage alloy at different pH values (0.5, 1.5, 8.0 and 9.0) of reaction solution. The effect of pH value on microstructure of the nano precursors of La-Mg hydrogen storage alloy was studied by infrared radiation (IR), thermo-gravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA), X-ray diffraction analyzer (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). IR results indicate that the chelating agent, citric acid, is not fully ionized, and carboxyl groups are not entirely used to complex metal ions in acidic solutions. The efficiency of complexing metal ions is enhanced in basic solutions. TG/DTA results show that the combustion may take place with low rate of the flame propagation that causes the longer combustion time when pH<1.5. On the contrary, the dry gel synthesized in basic solution combusts at low ignition temperature and combustion reaction is violent; it is easy to form fine particles. XRD and TEM results reveal that the precursor powders are mainly two-phase mixture of La 2 O 3 and MgO. The morphology of the particles is almost flake with the size of ~30 nm when pH is 8.0.

文摘The MoS_2 catalysts were prepared from various molybdate precursors including inorganic and organic molybdate compounds. The sulfidation degree and morphology of active phases of MoS_2 activated by various molybdate precursors in H_2S/H_2 stream at different temperatures were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM). The organic molybdate precursors lead to MoS_2 catalysts with higher sulfidation degree and smaller active phases to demonstrate higher catalytic activity during hydrodesulfurizaiton(HDS) of 4,6-DMDBT.

文摘Advanced glycation end products(AGEs)might pose health risks,and processing and storage could accelerate the generation of AGEs in meat.However,limited few reports indicated the changes of AGEs contents in meat during storage.In this study,the aim is to investigate the oxidation and precursors and their roles in the formation of N^(ε)-carboxymethyl-lysine(CML)in raw and cooked chicken meat after post-mortem ageing and storage.As post-mortem ageing and storage time increased,the CML content in cooked chicken breast significantly increased from 1.81 mg/kg to 2.00 mg/kg during 0-6 h,and then decreased from 2.00 mg/kg to 1.80 mg/kg during 6 h-1 day,finally increased again during 1-7 days,while the CML contents of raw and cooked leg significantly and continuously increased from 1.78 mg/kg to 2.08 mg/kg.Furthermore,CML was extremely positively correlated with fat oxidation(R^(2)=0.793,P<0.01),protein oxidation(R^(2)=0.917,P<0.01)and glyoxal(R^(2)=0.678,P<0.05),and was negatively correlated with lysine(R^(2)=0.536,P<0.05).No significant correlation was observed between the Schiff base and CML.
