Analysis of measurements of stopping powers of formvar, polyimide, polysulfone, and vyns for 3.6 to 10.5 MeV7Li ions
2002
The stopping powers of formvar, polysulfone, polyimide, and vyns for 7Li projectiles have been measured with the transmission technique and thin foil targets. The experimental data have been analyzed in terms of modified Bethe–Bloch theory to extract characteristic values of the mean excitation energy and Barkas effect parameter, as well as to study the effects of including a single effective charge parameter. Results of this investigation are in general supportive of the outcomes of earlier similar studies with protons and α-particles traversing the same target materials in the sense that previously reported trends in projectile-dependent behavior of values of mean excitation energy and Ba…
Optical thermal filters for eXTP: manufacturing and characterization
2020
In order to ensure the effective detection of X-ray astronomical detectors by blocking ultraviolet, visible and infrared light, adding optical thermal filter in front of the load is an effective method. According to the scientific requirements of eXTP, optical thermal filters with aluminized polyimide (PI) film structure had been designed and tested in this paper, the results of mechanical tests including burst pressure, vibration and acoustic tests, also the transparent properties of optics in UV, Vis and IR lights are presented. The mechanical test results show that the filters for LAD and SFA can't pass the acoustic tests, causing the thickness of PI should be increased or a nickel mesh …
Mesoscopic structural organization in fluorinated pyrrolidinium-based room temperature ionic liquids
2019
Abstract In this contribution the microscopic and mesoscopic structural organization in a series of fluorinated room temperature ionic liquids, based on N-methyl-N-alkylpyrrolidinium cations and on bis(perfluoroalkylsulfonyl)imide anions, is investigated, using a synergy of experimental (X-ray and neutron scattering) and computational (Molecular Dynamics) techniques. The proposed ionic liquids are of high interest as electrolyte media for lithium battery applications. Together with information on their good ion transport properties in conjunction with low viscosity, we also describe the existence of nm-scale spatial organization induced by the segregation of fluorous moieties into domains. …
Perylene Derivatives As Useful SERRS Reporters, Including Multiplexing Analysis
2015
Five perylene bisimide (PBI) derivatives were designed and synthesized, on the basis of quantum-chemical calculations. The influence of halogen substituents on the shape and energy of the frontier orbitals and the Raman spectra were calculated, in the prospect use in surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) studies. The corresponding experiments confirmed a very strong SERRS response in the presence of pristine (i.e., uncoated) gold nanoparticles. These spectra can be used for multiplexing measurements, namely measurements in which, by using a single laser excitation, one can recognize the simultaneous presence of several analytes.
Microscopic structural and dynamic features in triphilic room temperature ionic liquids
2019
Here we report a thorough investigation of the microscopic and mesoscopic structural organization in a series of triphilic fluorinated room temperature ionic liquids, namely [1-alkyl, 3-methylimidazolium][(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)(nonafluorobutylsulfonyl)imide], with alkyl=ethyl, butyl, octyl ([C(n)mim][IM14], n = 2, 4, 8), based on the synergic exploitation of X-ray and Neutron Scattering and Molecular Dynamics simulations. This study reveals the strong complementarity between X-ray/neutron scattering in detecting the complex segregated morphology in these systems at mesoscopic spatial scales. The use of MD simulations delivering a very good agreement with experimental data allows us to g…
Transcriptional Regulation by Triiodothyronine of the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase Family 1 Gene Complex in Rat Liver
1997
Abstract This study demonstrates that the expression of the phenol UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1 gene (UGT1A1) is regulated at the transcriptional level by thyroid hormone in rat liver. Following 3,5,3′-triiodo-l-thyronine (T3) stimulation in vivo, there is a gradual increase in the amount of UGT1A1 mRNA with maximum levels reached 24 h after treatment. In comparison, induction with the specific inducer, 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC), results in maximal levels of UGT1A1 mRNA after 8 h of treatment. In primary hepatocyte cultures, the stimulatory effect of both T3 and 3-MC is also observed. This induction is suppressed by the RNA synthesis inhibitor actinomycin D, indicating that neither induc…
Aliphatic polycarbonates based on carbon dioxide, furfuryl glycidyl ether, and glycidyl methyl ether: reversible functionalization and cross-linking.
2014
Well-defined poly((furfuryl glycidyl ether)-co-(glycidyl methyl ether) carbonate) (P((FGE-co-GME)C)) copolymers with varying furfuryl glycidyl ether (FGE) content in the range of 26% to 100% are prepared directly from CO2 and the respective epoxides in a solvent-free synthesis. All materials are characterized by size-exclusion chromatography (SEC), (1)H NMR spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The furfuryl-functional samples exhibit monomodal molecular weight distributions with Mw/Mn in the range of 1.16 to 1.43 and molecular weights (Mn) between 2300 and 4300 g mol(-1). Thermal properties reflect the amorphous structure of the polymers. Both post-functionalization and…
Variations of acidic functions at position 2 and substituents at positions 4, 5 and 6 of the indole moiety and their effect on NMDA-glycine site affi…
2003
The synthetic procedures to obtain indole derivatives with different acidic functions at position 2 of the indole are reported. The synthesised and tested derivatives comprise 5-tetrazolyl, 1,3,4-oxadiazol-5-yl-2-one, and indole-2-carboxylic acid amides with 5-aminotetrazole, methanesulphonamide and trifluoromethanesulphonamide moieties. The binding affinity was evaluated using [3H]MDL 105,519 and pig cortical brain membranes. In general, compounds with acidic functions different from a carboxylic acid moiety are less potent than indole-2-carboxylic acid derivatives. Also, the 4,6-dichloro substitution pattern was compared to 5-tert-butyl derivatives and compounds not substituted in the ben…
Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of 3,4-Diarylmaleimides as Angiogenesis Inhibitors
2006
The new analogue 2 of combretastatin A-4 was discovered to be an inhibitor of tubulin polymerization with an IC50 of 7.6 microM and reduced angiogenesis in the in vivo chick embryo model. Interestingly, in a series of 2,3-diarylmaleimides closely related to this lead, no other compound was found to be active in the tubulin polymerization assay. However, by screening in the in vivo chick embryo assay 10 was identified as a potent angiogenesis inhibitor indicating an alternative target. Indeed, molecular modeling studies suggest a reasonable binding mode of 10 at the ATP-binding site of the model kinase CDK2. Motivated by these results, analogues of 10 were screened for inhibitory activity in…
Mapping the fluorophilicity of a hydrophobic pocket: synthesis and biological evaluation of tricyclic thrombin inhibitors directing fluorinated alkyl…
2006
In the completion of our fluorine scan of tricyclic inhibitors to map the fluorophilicity/fluorophobicity of the thrombin active site, a series of 11 new ligands featuring alkyl, alkenyl, and fluoroalkyl groups was prepared to explore fluorine effects on binding into the hydrophobic proximal (P) pocket, lined by Tyr 60A and Trp 60D, His 57, and Leu 99. The synthesis of the tricyclic scaffolds was based on the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides, derived from L-proline and 4-bromobenzaldehyde, with N-(4-fluorobenzyl)maleimide. Introduction of alkyl, alkenyl, and partially fluorinated alkyl residues was achieved upon substitution of a sulfonyl group by mixed Mg/Zn organometallics f…
