The crystal structure of the peptide Boc-Phe-Val-OMe determined by X-ray diffraction methods is reported in this paper. The crystals grown from aqueous methanol are orthorhombic, space group P2(1)2(1)2(1),a = 11.843(2), b = 21.493(4), c = 26.676(4) A3 and V = 6790 A3. Data were collected on a CAD4 diffractometer using MoK alpha radiation (lambda = 0.7107 A) up to Bragg angle theta = 26 degrees. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by a least-squares procedure to an R value of 6.8% for 3288 observed reflections. There are three crystal-lographically independent peptide molecules in the asymmetric unit. All the three molecules exhibit extended conformation. The sidechain of the Val2 residue shows two different conformations. The conformation of the peptide Boc-Phe-Val-OMe is compared with the conformation of Ac-delta Phe-Val-OH. It is observed that while Boc-Phe-Val-OMe exhibits an extended conformation, Ac-delta Phe-Val-OH shows a folded conformation. The results of this comparison highlight the conformation constraining property of the delta Phe residue. Interestingly, even though Boc-Phe-Val-OMe and Ac-delta Phe-Val-OH are conformationally different, they exhibit similar packing patterns in the solid state. 相似文献

Distributional and asymptotic results on the moment of Rand's Ck statistic were derived by DuBien and Warde [1981. Some distributional results concerning a comparative statistic used in cluster analysis. ASA Proceedings of the Social Statistics Section, 309–313.]. Based on those results, a method to predict the number of clusters is suggested by applying various agglomerative clustering algorithms. In the procedure, the methods using different indexes are examined and compared based on the concept of agreement (or, disagreement) between clusterings generated by different clustering algorithms on the set of data. Our method having practical generality works better than the other methods and assigns statistical meaning to Ck values in determining the number of clusters from the comparison. 相似文献

A discrete-component approach was taken to establish the operational feasibility of a novel, imaging, midinfrared, multispectral, polarimetric sensor for remote-sensing application. The sensor is designed to exploit the spectral and polarimetric characteristics of the scene as discriminants. Pixelated multispectral filters and polarization filters were designed and fabricated on sapphire and Si substrates, respectively, and both were characterized. A single-pixel spectropolarimetric composite filter was characterized by use of a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer and a Pt-Si thermal-imaging camera. The experimental results show excellent agreement with theoretical predictions. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To optimize followup in patients with stage I nonseminomatous testis cancer on surveillance we evaluated the contribution of each followup modality to the detection of progression as well as morbidity and mortality outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: After orchiectomy 170 patients with clinical stage I nonseminoma were prospectively placed on a surveillance protocol. History, physical examination, serum tumor markers, abdominal and pelvic computerized tomography (CT), and chest x-ray were used for followup. The number of failures, methods and timing of progression detection, treatments required, mortality rate and subsequent contralateral primary tumors were recorded. RESULTS: The 170 surveillance patients were followed a median of 6.3 years. Within 2 years (median 6.9 months) postoperatively 48 patients (28.2%) had disease progression. History, physical examination, markers, CT and chest radiography provided the initial evidence of progression in 18 (37.5%), 34 (70.8%), 34 (70.8%), and 4 (8.3%) patients, respectively. Each modality was the only indicator of failure in 2 (4.2%), 4 (8.3%), 10 (20.8%) and 0 cases, respectively. Of the 170 patients 122 (71.8%) required no additional treatment beyond orchiectomy, 26 (15.3%) received 1 and 22 (12.9%) underwent more than 1 therapeutic modality. Only 1 patient (0.6%) died of disease. Contralateral tumors developed in 5 cases (2.9%) therapeutic a mean of 8.1 years after orchiectomy. CONCLUSIONS: In stage I nonseminoma patients, surveillance history, physical examination, tumor markers and abdominopelvic CT are necessary components of the followup protocol. Removal of routine chest x-ray from the protocol would not have changed progression detection. The initial surveillance visit must occur by 2 months postoperatively. Patients should be followed beyond 5 years and likely for life in addition to regular patient self-examination. 相似文献

The Westinghouse Sulfur Cycle is a two-step thermochemical cycle for decomposing water into hydrogen and oxygen. Sulfurous acid and water are reacted electrolytically to produce hydrogen and sulfuric acid. The resultant sulfuric acid is vaporized to produce steam and sulfur trioxide, with the latter compound being subsequently reduced at higher temperatures into sulfur dioxide and oxygen. Following separation of the water and sulfur dioxide for recycle to the electrolyzer, oxygen is available as a process by-product.The cycle has the potential for achieving high thermal efficiencies while using common and inexpensive chemicals. The product hydrogen and oxygen streams are available under pressure and at high purity. As a result, these may be pipelined and used without detrimental environmental effects and without jeopardizing processes which employ the gases.Research has shown that the chemical reactions comprising the cycle proceed at acceptable rates and without the occurrence of side reactions. Conceptual designs and cost estimates indicate that the product gas separations can be done conventionally and economically. This paper discusses the technology supporting the selection of this thermochemical cycle for further development, and potential applications for the hydrogen and oxygen products of the process. 相似文献

Using the transfer matrix formalism, we have theoretically studied the vertical ballistic transport in GaN/AlGaN resonant
tunneling diodes (RTDs) and superlattices with a small number of periods. We have calculated the transmission probability
versus the longitudinal electron energy (T–E) and the current density–voltage (J–V) characteristics. Calculations of both T–E and J–V characteristics have been performed for different Al contents in the barriers. The asymmetry effects due to the internal
electric field in the barriers are discussed. Applied to the RTD structure, our calculations demonstrate: (i) the increase
of the peak-to-valley ratio of the negative differential resistance (NDR) with increasing Al content in the barriers, (ii)
the dependence of the J–V resonance values on the current direction, and (iii) the asymmetry of the NDR with respect to the current direction due to
the huge internal electric field in the structure. In the case of multiple quantum well structure (MQWS), the calculation
results confirm the same trends as in the RTD case when the Al content is varied. In spite of the fact that it is more difficult
to analyze the results in the case of MQWS, the obtained calculations demonstrate the applicability of the used model and
of the numerical method to study GaN/AlGaN devices based on quantum well (QW) heterostructures. Furthermore, a design of an
optimized 7QW structure operating symmetrically whatever the direction of the applied voltage is presented. 相似文献

High-efficiency phase-only computer-generated holograms (CGH's) were produced expediently and inexpensively by a color-encoded discrete-phase-level process. Computer-generated-hologram gray levels were mapped to color with a high-resolution color printer, and color was mapped to phase by a broad-spectral-sensitivity high-resolution black-and-white film. Experimental results illustrating colorto optical-density and color-to-phase mapping are presented for Kodak 649F film. A variety of optical interconnection elements exhibiting high diffraction efficiencies and high contrast ratios for both on- and off-axis performance were fabricated by this technique. Typical experimental results are presented. 相似文献
