Abstract

It is crucially important to find an observable which is independent on the acceptance and late collision process, in order to search for the possible Critical Point predicted by QCD. By utilizing A Multi-Phase Transport (AMPT) model and Ultra Relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (UrQMD) model, we study the centrality and evolution time dependence of higher moments of net-baryon distribution in Au + Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=17.3$ GeV. The results suggest that Kurtosis and Skewness are less sensitive to the acceptance effect and late collision process. Thus, they should be good observables providing the information of the early stage of heavy ion collision. In addition, our study shows that the Kurtosis times $\sigma^{2}$ of net-proton distribution are quite different to that of net-baryon when collisions energy is lower than $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 20 GeV, the Monte Calor calculations on Kurtosis$\cdot\sigma^{2}$ have a deviation from the theoretical predictions., Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures

Abstract

How to select out those collisions with the desired geometry such as tip-tip and/or body-body in experiment is one key point for performing high energy UU collisions. With a relativistic transport model, we performed a simulation for deformed UU collision with vast different orientations at CSR energy area corresponding to the high net-baryon density region in QCD phase diagram. By investigating the centrality and initial collision orientation dependence of the center baryon density, we found that the tip-tip like UU collisions with extended high density phase, which is very important for studying the nuclear EoS of high baryon density matter and the possible end-point of the phase boundary, are those events with small initial orientations ($\leq20^{0}$) for bath projectile and target in reaction plane and small impact parameter ($\leq2.6fm$). We pointed out quantificationally two observations -- multiplicity of forward neutron and nuclear stopping power that both allows us to select out those most interesting events (i.e. tip-tip like), which will be very helpful for the future experiments at performing UU collisions., Comment: 6 pages, 9 figures

Abstract

The Corning Advanced-FlowTM Reactor (AFR) whose productivity is ready for scale-up with limited loss of transport properties was implemented in the continuous synthesis of Ag nanoparticles (NPs). To demonstrate the effect of mixing on Ag NPs, the flow pattern and mixing characteristic (mainly on the meso- and macroscale) in AFR were studied by flow visualisation and computational fluid dynamics simulation first. It was found that increasing the total flow rate from 1 to 9 mL·min−1 could enhance mixing by the synergetic combination of secondary flows created by different mechanisms. The flow rate ratio in the range of 0.25–8 affected the degree of mixing by changing the initial concentration distribution profile across the combined stream. The highest degree of mixing was obtained at the flow rate ratios of 0.25 and 8. Subsequently, the micromixing performance was quantified by Villermaux-Dushman method. The micromixing time decreased from 17 to 4 ms as the total flow rate increased from 1 to 9 mL·min−1, while the micromixing time was nearly independent of the flow rate ratio. At last, the link between the mixing characteristics and average size and particle size distribution (PSD) of Ag NPs was established. As the total flow rate increased, the average particle size decreased, and PSD became narrower due to better micromixing efficiency. When the flow rate ratio varied, the PSD of Ag NPs was dependent on the width of the Ag precursor stream rather than the degree of mixing, because an excessive amount of NaBH4 was used.

Abstract

Flurbiprofen is a kind of nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drug, which has been widely used in clinic for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. It has been reported that S‐flurbiprofen shows good performance on clinic anti‐inflammatory treatment, while R‐enantiomer almost has no pharmacological activities. It has important practical values to obtain optically pure S‐flurbiprofen. In this work, chiral ionic liquids, which have good structural designability and chiral recognize ability, were selected as the extraction selector by the assistance of quantum chemistry calculations. The distribution behaviors of flurbiprofen enantiomers were investigated in the extraction system, which was composed of organic solvent and aqueous phase containing chiral ionic liquid. The results show that maximum enantioselectivity up to 1.20 was attained at pH 2.0, 25°C using 1,2‐dichloroethane as organic solvent, 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazole L‐tryptophan ([Bmim][L‐trp]) as chiral selector. The racemic flurbiprofen initial concentration was 0.2 mmol L−1, and [Bmim][L‐trp] concentration was 0.02 mol L−1. Furthermore, the recycle of chiral ionic liquids has been achieved by reverse extraction process of the aqueous phase with chiral selector, which is significant for industrial application of chiral ionic liquids and scale‐up of the extraction process.

Abstract

This paper demonstrates the critical effect of the curvature of microreactors on the size distribution of silver nanoparticles during their continuous synthesis in the absence of capping ligands. By a combination of experimental data and deep understanding of the fluid dynamics inside the reactor, we demonstrate that decreasing the helix diameter of the reactor promotes the onset of transversal flows and radial mixing in helical reactors. These secondary flows enable fast nucleation and homogeneous growth during the synthesis leading to a delicate control of the particle size distribution. A similar effect is achieved by increasing the total flow rate, assuming that the Dean number is above ∼5, while no effect of the pitch distance within the experimental range on the size distribution is observed. These results will directly impact the nanomaterial field and the development of manufacturing routes as the size of the nanoparticles is known to play a key role in determining their chemical and physical properties.

Abstract

For the purpose of introducing a high work-function layer to improve the implied voltage in asymmetric silicon-based heterojunction photovoltaic devices, molybdenum oxide (MoOx, 0 < x < 3) is applied to the device. However, besides the role of extracting holes on one side, another singularity behavior presented itself in the nonequilibrium state, i.e. a worsened photovoltaic peformance (an 'S-shape') of current density versus voltage (J–V) was revealed with an inappropriate chemical state of the MoOx film. The source of the 'S-shaped' behavior of an MoOx/a-Si: H(i)/n-Si heterojunction device was co-analyzed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy with depth profiling, ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy, current density-voltage representation, a minority carrier lifetime survey and automat for simulation of heterostructures software simulation. It was found that an amorphous SiOx interlayer was spontaneously formed during the deposition of MoOx film onto a-Si: H(i)/n-Si substrate, blocking the transport of holes. The decrease in the work-function of the MoOx layer is attributed to an oxidation reaction at the MoOx/a-Si: H(i) boundary zone, which results in the decline of hole selectivity. A rising O/Si ratio in the SiOx interlayer induces an augmentation of valence band offsets, which could be the best interpretation of the 'S-shaped' response, because of a barrier that hinders the thermionic emission of holes. Meanwhile, the thicker (>4 nm) SiOx layer leads to a lower tunneling probability for holes. The characteristic analysis of the MoOx/a-Si: H(i)/n-Si heterojunction device deepens the understanding of the hole transport mechanism of the device. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Substantial experimental and theoretical efforts worldwide are devoted to explore the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter. At LHC and top RHIC energies, QCD matter is studied at very high temperatures and nearly vanishing net-baryon densities. There is evidence that a Quark-Gluon-Plasma (QGP) was created at experiments at RHIC and LHC. The transition from the QGP back to the hadron gas is found to be a smooth cross over. For larger net-baryon densities and lower temperatures, it is expected that the QCD phase diagram exhibits a rich structure, such as a first-order phase transition between hadronic and partonic matter which terminates in a critical point, or exotic phases like quarkyonic matter. The discovery of these landmarks would be a breakthrough in our understanding of the strong interaction and is therefore in the focus of various high-energy heavy-ion research programs. The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment at FAIR will play a unique role in the exploration of the QCD phase diagram in the region of high net-baryon densities, because it is designed to run at unprecedented interaction rates. High-rate operation is the key prerequisite for high-precision measurements of multi-differential observables and of rare diagnostic probes which are sensitive to the dense phase of the nuclear fireball. The goal of the CBM experiment at SIS100 (sqrt(s_NN) = 2.7 - 4.9 GeV) is to discover fundamental properties of QCD matter: the phase structure at large baryon-chemical potentials (mu_B > 500 MeV), effects of chiral symmetry, and the equation-of-state at high density as it is expected to occur in the core of neutron stars. In this article, we review the motivation for and the physics programme of CBM, including activities before the start of data taking in 2022, in the context of the worldwide efforts to explore high-density QCD matter.

28. Hydrodynamic Study of Single- and Two-Phase Flow in an Advanced-Flow Reactor

Abstract

The hydrodynamics of the G1 fluidic module of the Corning Advanced-Flow reactor (AFR) was characterized using particle image velocimetry. Two series of experiments, single-phase flow with liquid flow rates of 10–40 mL/min and two-phase flow with an identical overall flow rate range and gas volume transport fractions ranging from 0.125 to 0.50, were performed. From the instantaneous velocity vector maps, the mean and the root-mean-square velocities were computed, which allowed a systematic investigation of the single- and two-phase flow hydrodynamics and transport processes in the AFR. In single-phase flow, the velocity field is symmetric in the heart-shaped cells, and their particular design results in a stagnation zone that limits momentum exchange in each cell. The addition of the gas phase greatly increases the momentum exchange in the heart-shaped cells, which leads to a more uniform distribution of velocity fluctuations and increased transport processes within the AFR.

29. Investigation on liquid flow characteristics in microtubes

Abstract

The fundamental understanding and prediction of liquid flow characteristics in microscale are important to control the performance of microfluidic devices. However, fundamental questions about liquid flow characteristics in microscale have not been settled yet and systematical investigation is needed. A systematical investigation on liquid flow characteristics through microtubes with diameters varying from 44.5–1011 μm and relative roughness in the range 0.02–4.32% in the Reynolds number range 29–11,644 was performed in this work, using water as working fluid. Experimental results indicated that early transition occurred when the diameter was smaller than 1000 μm, the transitional flow characteristics for smooth microtubes differed from rough microtubes and the friction factor in turbulent region for rough microtubes was larger than conventional theory. Moreover, a parameter α was proposed to describe the characteristic of microtube. The characteristic parameter was used to calculate the critical Reynolds number and the friction factor in turbulent region for microscale.

Abstract

We present time-resolved electron energy loss spectroscopy measurement of isothermal desorption of NH3 and ND3 from Cu(001) as a function of coverage. The desorption process is characterized by pseudo-first-order kinetics. The pseudo-first-order rate constant increases approximately exponentially as a function of adsorbed ammonia coverage. The results of an analysis based on a quasiequilibrium approximation which expresses the desorption rate in terms of a virial expansion in adsorbate coverage are reported. This demonstrates that the intermolecular interactions are dominated by short range repulsive lateral interactions, in qualitative accord with expectations of dipolar interactions. The results also suggest the existence of longer-range attractive interactions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The kinetics of NH3 and ND3 desorption from Cu(001) surface have been measured by time-resolved electron energy loss spectroscopy. The desorption precess is observed to be characterized by pseudo-first-order kinetics. The desorption energy and the prefactor have been determined for both NH3 and ND3. The prefactors are unusually low as compared to those observed for simple diatomic molecules. Moreover, we observed an unusual behavior consistent with an isotope kinetic compensation effect. Both of these observations can be explained within the context of transition state theory by the interplay between isotopic masses and the shifts of frustrated vibrational modes of adsorbed molecules. Our results imply that the conventional Arrhenius form would not be precisely applicable to molecular desorption, if a large enough temperature range could be measured, particularly for hydrogen-containing molecules.

Abstract

We present time-resolved electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) results for the desorption of submonolayer coverages of H2O and D2O from Ag(011). The measurements were performed isothermally and effectively at constant coverage. At coverages above a few percent of a monolayer, we observe that the desorption is characterized by zero-order kinetics. That is, the desorption rate is independent of coverage. We hypothesize that this results from the formation of two-dimensional water islands on the surface at all coverages and temperatures measured. The desorption process is governed in part by the dissociation of water from the edges of these islands. Rapid diffusion on the surface maintains a quasiequilibrium between the molecules bound to islands and isolated adsorbed water molecules, thereby leading to pseudo-zero-order kinetics. This result is interpreted upon general thermodynamic grounds, and also using a simple kinetic model which leads to pseudo-zero-order desorption kinetics. An unusual hydrogen kinetic isotope effect is reported which lends support to our interpretation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

33. Substrate-mediated dispersion interaction effects in the properties of a physisorbed gas.

Abstract

The theory of substrate-mediated dispersion interactions is applied to analyze a set of quasiequilibrium measurements of adsorption isobars and desorption isotherms of the CH4/Ag(011) physisorption system. The theory provides for the construction of an adsorbate intermolecular potential from the gas phase potential, with the spacing between the metal surface and the adsorbed layer as the sole adjustable parameter. The best fits to the kinetic and thermodynamic data yield a consistent intermolecular potential, with a well depth of approximately two-thirds of the free space value. The limited dynamic range of the measurements does not permit a determination of the form of the intermolecular potential. However, the good agreement of the theory with both data sets lends strong support for the quasiequilibrium model, and supports the proposition that the properties of physisorbed layers can be predicted using gas phase potentials while accounting for substrate-mediated dispersion interaction effects.

Abstract

Substantial experimental and theoretical efforts worldwide are devoted to explore the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter. At LHC and top RHIC energies, QCD matter is studied at very high temperatures and nearly vanishing net-baryon densities. There is evidence that a Quark-Gluon-Plasma (QGP) was created at experiments at RHIC and LHC. The transition from the QGP back to the hadron gas is found to be a smooth cross over. For larger net-baryon densities and lower temperatures, it is expected that the QCD phase diagram exhibits a rich structure, such as a first-order phase transition between hadronic and partonic matter which terminates in a critical point, or exotic phases like quarkyonic matter. The discovery of these landmarks would be a breakthrough in our understanding of the strong interaction and is therefore in the focus of various high-energy heavy-ion research programs. The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment at FAIR will play a unique role in the exploration of the QCD phase diagram in the region of high net-baryon densities, because it is designed to run at unprecedented interaction rates. High-rate operation is the key prerequisite for high-precision measurements of multi-differential observables and of rare diagnostic probes which are sensitive to the dense phase of the nuclear fireball. The goal of the CBM experiment at SIS100 (sqrt(s_NN) = 2.7 - 4.9 GeV) is to discover fundamental properties of QCD matter: the phase structure at large baryon-chemical potentials (mu_B > 500 MeV), effects of chiral symmetry, and the equation-of-state at high density as it is expected to occur in the core of neutron stars. In this article, we review the motivation for and the physics programme of CBM, including activities before the start of data taking in 2022, in the context of the worldwide efforts to explore high-density QCD matter.

35. Speed of sound of ionic liquids: Database, estimation, and its application for thermal conductivity prediction

Author

Wu, K-J, Chen, Q-L, and He, C-H

Abstract

Speed of sound is an important thermodynamic property of ionic liquids (ILs) and always chosen as a source to determine other properties. A database for the speed of sound of pure ILs created by collecting experimental data from literature covering the period from 2005 to 2013 is presented. The effects of temperature and the alkyl chain length on the speed of sound are discussed and a second‐order corresponding states group contribution method is developed to estimate the speed of sound. An average absolute deviation (AAD) of 2.34% has been obtained. This method offers a simple but reliable approach to estimate the speed of sound of new ILs. Finally, the speed of sound is used to determine the thermal conductivity of ILs based on the Bridgman theory. The calculated values of thermal conductivity show a good agreement with the experimental ones with an AAD of 3.91%. © 2014 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 60: 1120–1131, 2014

Abstract

The ablator couples energy between the driver and fusion fuel in inertial confinement fusion (ICF). Because of its low opacity, high solid density, and material properties, beryllium has long been considered an ideal ablator for ICF ignition experiments at the National Ignition Facility. We report here the first indirect drive Be implosions driven with shaped laser pulses and diagnosed with fusion yield at the OMEGA laser. The results show good performance with an average DD neutron yield of ~2 × 10[superscript 9] at a convergence ratio of R[subscript 0]/R ~ 10 and little impact due to the growth of hydrodynamic instabilities and mix. In addition, the effect of adding an inner liner of W between the Be and DD is demonstrated., United States. Dept. of Energy (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Contract DE-AC52-07NA27344)

Abstract

Bimodal bioimaging probes have raised wide concern in recent years for remedying shortcomings inherent to one given imaging technology. Rare-earth upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) which can absorb low-energy photons and emit high energy photons have attracted great interest not only because of their unique application in upconversion luminescence imaging, but also because they can generate visible emission by near-infrared radiation (NIR) excitation. Here we have synthesized PEI capped Ln3+ doped NaGdF4 UCNPs in a one-pot facile hydrothermal method in order to meet the demand for upconversion luminescence (UCL) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) simultaneously. PEI used here endows these NPs with good water solubility and biocompatibility. The properties of the nanoparticles were confirmed by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, Fourier transform-infrared, and upconversion luminescence spectra and magnetism. Further biocompatibility test has also been investigated. The results indicate that our synthesized nanoparticles have potential application in bio-imaging probes combining UCL and MRI modal imaging together. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

International audience; Purpose: : The NOD mouse is an established animal model of the human disease, Sjögren’s syndrome. The lacrimal gland of male NOD mouse becomes significantly infiltrated with inflammatory cells by 12 weeks of age. Dacryadenitis is associated with massive lipid deposition in the lacrimal acinar cells, a process which starts by 6 weeks of age and is accompanied by onset of inflammatory infiltrates. The aim of this study was to identify the lipids that accumulate in lacrimal glands from NOD mice. Methods: : Lacrimal glands were excised from 12-week-old male NOD (n = 8) and BALB/c mice (n = 10). Lipids were extracted and lipid class distribution examined. Then the lipid classes were separated by thin layer chromatography and the fatty acid composition was determined for each of them by gas chromatography. Results: : Lacrimal glands were significantly heavier in NOD mouse than in BALB/c mouse (56.5 ± 6.97 mg versus 36.1 ± 5.48 mg). Lacrimal glands from NOD mouse contained twice as much lipids in quantity than those from BALB/c mouse (2.7 ± 0.45 mg versus 1.3 ± 0.26 mg per pair of gland, p

Abstract

Transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) regulates cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, apoptosis, and extracellular matrix production. It also plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of gingival overgrowth. Thrombin is a key player in tissue repair, remodeling, and fibrosis after an injury, and it exerts profibrotic effects by activating protease-activated receptors. Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF or CCN2) modulates cell adhesion, migration, proliferation, matrix production, and wound healing. It is overexpressed in many fibrotic disorders, including gingival overgrowth, and it is positively associated with the degree of fibrosis in gingival overgrowth. In human gingival fibroblasts, we previously found that TGFβ1 induced CCN2 protein synthesis through c-jun N-terminal kinase and Smad3 activation. Thrombin stimulates CCN2 synthesis through protease-activated receptor 1 and c-jun N-terminal kinase signaling. Curcumin inhibited TGFβ1- and thrombin-induced CCN2 synthesis. In this study, we demonstrated that thrombin and protease-activated receptor 1 agonist SFLLRN induced latent TGFβ1 activation and Smad3 phosphorylation in human gingival fibroblasts. Pretreatment with a TGFβ-neutralizing antibody, TGFβ type I receptor inhibitor SB431542, and Smad3 inhibitor SIS3 inhibited approximately 86%, 94%, and 100% of thrombin-induced CCN2 synthesis, respectively. Furthermore, blocking integrin subunits αv and β1 with antibodies effectively inhibited SFLLRN-induced Smad3 phosphorylation and CCN2 synthesis and increased activated TGFβ1 levels; however, similar effects were not observed for integrins αvβ3 and αvβ5. These results suggest that protease-activated receptor 1–induced CCN2 synthesis in human gingival fibroblasts is mediated through integrin αvβ1–induced latent TGFβ1 activation and subsequent TGFβ1 signaling. Moreover, curcumin dose dependently decreased thrombin-induced activated TGFβ1 levels. Curcumin-inhibited thrombin-induced CCN2 synthesis in human gingival fibroblasts is caused by the suppression of latent TGFβ1 activation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
