Densitometry determination of dioxins using gold nanoparticlemodified dioxin response element probes

This study aims to develop a rapid and sensitive densitometry bioassay of dioxins. It is known that dioxin ligand can bind heterodimeric aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and trigger the formation of the complex of dioxin-AhR, AhR nuclear translocator (Arnt), and dioxin-responsive element (DRE). We have established a rapid and sensitive method using nanoparticle-modified DRE probes based on dioxin-dependent binding of DRE to AhR complex. Dioxins can trigger the binding of nanoparticle-modified DRE probe to AhR complex. The nanoparticle-modified DRE probes in the dioxin-AhR-Arnt-DRE complexes immobilized on the microplates were detected by measuring optical density after silver enhancement. Results showed that as little as 0.01 pM of TCDD could be detected. Dioxins could be quantified accurately with the linear range from 1 nM to 0.01 pM. The coefficient of variation was 5≈8% in this bioassay. The optical density of nanoparticle-based silver enhancement was produced in a dose- and time- dependent manner. The dioxin concentrations in fly ash samples determined by this bioassay were comparable with that by the standard HRGC/HRMS. Thus this bioassay is a sensitive and convenient cell-free bioassay of dioxin that is suitable for screening of dioxins in environmental or food matrices.     

A dynamic programming method for analysis of bridges under multiple moving loads

A dynamic programming (DP) method is presented for analysis of statically determinate and indeterminate bridges subjected to moving loads such as those specified by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) specifications. These loads consist of uniform lane loading, two-axle truck loading and two-axle truck plus one-axle semitrailer loading. The solution of the DP problem is based on the use of influence line diagrams and extremum functions. Recurrence formulae have been developed for various types of AASHTO live loads. The procedure presented in this article is quite general and can be applied to any type of structures with linear behaviour and any type of moving loads. Six examples are presented: a simply-supported beam, a simply-supported Pratt truss, an arch bridge, a continuous Pratt truss, a continuous frame and a cable-stayed bridge.

由呼出气中的氡浓度估计铀矿工体内~(225)Ra的负荷量

本文测量了某铀矿不同工种的56名矿工下矿井作业前的呼出气中的~(222)Rn浓度,并由此估算了他们体内的~(226)Ra 负荷量。按不同工种的人数加权,呼出气中的~(222)Rn 浓度平均值为34.1Bqm~(-3),体内~(226)Ra 负荷量的均值为1.95kBq。同时还对9名休息了2天的和2名离开井下作业3—4年的矿工以及12名来下过矿井的本矿工人呼出气中氡浓度进行了测量,由此估算出其体内~(226)Ra 负荷量的均值分别为1.11、0.94和0.17kBq。

FH-5A 加氢精制催化剂的研制

为适应加工高硫馏分油的需要，研制成功了加氢精制催化剂FH－5A。该剂以含硅氧化铝为载体、Mo-Ni为活性组分，并添加少量助剂而制得。FH－5A工业放大催化剂在氢分压3．4MPa、空速2．5h^-1、反应温度350℃的加氢条件下在小型装置处理伊朗催化裂化柴油和沙特轻质直馏柴油的混合油（30：70），可将原料油中硫含量由9000μg/g，氮含量由432μg/g降至47μg/g。评价试验表明，FH－5A加氢精制催化剂可满足中东高硫直馏柴油、二次加工柴油及其混合柴油加氢精制的需要。
