Methods: We applied rapid amplification of cDNA ends, Northern blot and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction to analyze the full length of Tctex5 mRNAs isolated from testes of the wild-type and the t-haplotype mice. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction was used to semi-quantitatively compare expression of Tctex5 transcripts in the 16 tissues and 9.5 day stage embryos in the wild-type mice. E-translation was applied to estimate the amino acid sequences. Results: One long and one short transcript of Tctex5 mRNA were discovered in mouse testis of wild-type (Tctex5^long-+ and Tctex5^short-+) and t-haplotype (Tctex5^long-+ and Tctex5^short-+) mice, respectively. Being enhanced only in the testis, Tctex5^long-+ had 17 point mutations and one 15-bp-deletion in the exon 1 region, comparing with the Tctex5^long-+, whereas the Tctex5^short-+ was similar to the Tctex5^short-+. The short isoforms of Tctex5 mRNAs in the two models encoded exactly the same peptides, but the long isoforms did not. The estimated peptide encoded by Tctex5^long-+ had significant mutations on putative sites of phosphorylation and PP1 binding. Conclusion: We established that mutations that occur in the Tctex5 long transcript of the t-haplotype mice are important for normal sperm function, whereas the short transcript of Tctex5 might have a conserved function among different tissues.

In this study, we present the results of zircon U-Pb dating of two metapelites from the complex. Detrital and metamorphic zircons from the metapelites yield a depositional age of -601 Ma and a metamorphic age of 496-509 Ma, indicating that the supracrustal rocks formed during the Neoproterozoic and recorded pan-African metamorphic events in the Erguna massif. Garnet porphyroblasts in SiI-Grt-Bt-Ms paragneiss show diffusion zoning, implying a decreasing P-T trend. Based on mineral transformation and P-T estimates using conventional geothermobarometers and phase equilibria modeling, three metamorphic stages were determined, including an early prograde metamorphic stage, a near peak upper amphibolite facies metamorphic stage, and a near-isobaric cooling stage with P-T conditions of 6.1 kb, 645 ℃, 5-6 kb, 710-740 ℃, and 4.4 kb, 625℃, respectively. The metamorphic history of the Xinghuadukou complex is thus defined by a clockwise P-T trajectory, which implies that the metamorphism of the metapelites documented the subduction, subsequent uplift and post collision process.展开更多

Their thermal stability, optical properties and coordination features were investigated with thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis, ultraviolet and visible spectrophotometer, fluorescence spectrophotometer, infrared spectroscopy, and 1H NMR spectrometer. In the solvents of C 6H 6, 1,2 dichloroethane and dmf, complexes A and B can exhibit a ligand to metal charge transfer transition lying in ca. 20000 cm -1 in the electronic spectra. Complex A displays a dimeric structure in C 6D 6 solution. Ce 4+ ions in the complexes are coordinated by phenolic groups of the ligands, oxygen atoms of dmf molecules, and / or OH - ions.展开更多

The structure of the complexes was speculated as: two rare earth atoms were bridged with four CF3COO–, and rare earth atoms were coordinated with cobalt carbonyl clusters to form a steady structure. Application of the complexes as the catalyst precursors was explored for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. The study showed that the bridging complexes of rare earth and cobalt cluster had large molecular size and were difficult to enter pore path of γ-Al2O3, so they were dispersed on the surface of γ-Al2O3 support. In addition, the performance of Co(Ce)/ γ-Al2O3 was the best among the catalysts with complex as precursor and maintained 77.7% CO conversion at 220 oC for 80 operation hours.展开更多

Thetypical mineral assemblage in the Opx-Gt Pl-Bi gneiss in Huangtuling, Luotian County, HubeiProvince, is Opx(I ) + Gt + Pl(I ) + Bi(I ) + Q. The corona composed of cordierite and orthopyroxene (Ⅱ) growing around garnets in the granulite makes it clear that there occurredthe following metamorphic reaction: Gt + Q→Cd + Opx(Ⅱ). It is estimated that the granulite-forming temperature (T ) and pressure (P ) are 857 - 998° and 1. 18 - 1. 23 GPa, respectively, and the corona was formed under the following conditions: T = 829 - 911℃ and P= 0. 53-0. 59 GPa. The above results indicate that there occurred a rapid and nearly adiabaticuplifting event and a decompressional metamorphism in the Dabie complex after the formationof granulite. As compared with the granulites worldwidely distributed in 90 locations (Harley,1989), the Huangtuling granulite should belong to the high-pressure type, which representsthe composition of the crust at a depth of more than 40 kilometers.展开更多

Firstly, the main stability equation of a complex network system is obtained, which can determine the stability of the synchronous manifold. Secondly, the main stable system is fuzzified, and based on fuzzy control theory, the control design of the fuzzified main stable system is carried out to obtain a coupling matrix that enables the complex network to achieve complete synchronization. The numerical analysis results indicate that the control method proposed in this paper can effectively achieve synchronization control of complex networks, while also controlling the transition time for the network to achieve synchronization.展开更多

The structure of Hg<sup>2+</sup> complex, [Hg(L<sup>1</sup>)Cl]Cl·5H<sub>2</sub>O, is elucidated using elemental analyses, spectral (IR, UV-visible, 1H-NMR and mass) and TGA measurements. IR spectrum suggests that L<sup>1</sup> behaves in a bidentate manner through the azomethine groups. The molecular modeling of L<sup>1</sup> and its Hg<sup>2+</sup> complex has been investigated. The bond lengths, bond angles, HOMO and LUMO have been calculated. The thermal behavior and kinetic parameters are determined using Coats-Redfern method. The use of L<sup>1</sup> for preconcentration and separation via flotation of Hg<sup>2+</sup> complex and determination using cold vapor atomic spectrometry (CVAAS) is described. The effects on the percentage of recovered Hg<sup>2+</sup> by pH of sample solutions, oleic acid (HOL) concentration, Hg<sup>2+</sup> and L<sup>1</sup> concentrations are studied in details. The method is applied for the determination of the total Hg<sup>2+</sup> (mg·mL<sup>-1</sup>) in natural water samples.展开更多
