Large increase of Curie temperature in (110)-oriented La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 films

From the perspectives of scientific researches and practical applications, it is desirable to explore high operating temperature ferromagnetic films. The effect of biaxial strain on magnetic properties of (110)-oriented La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃ films was studied. High quality La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃ films were grown on (110)-oriented perovskite single crystal substrates using pulsed laser deposition, varying substrate-induced misfit strains from ??2.27–0.75%. A remarkable enhancement of Curie temperature has been achieved for (110)-oriented La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃ films clamped with small misfit strains (i.e., grown on LAST (110)). The enhanced Curie temperature of (110)-oriented La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃ films could be attributed to the misfit strain between the films and the underlying substrates and may have technological implication for applications at high temperature environments.     

Structure-permeation relations of met-enkephalin peptide analogues on absorption and secretion mechanisms in Caco-2 monolayers

Due to the low effective permeabilities of peptides at many absorption sites, their structure-permeation relations are of high interest. In this work structure-permeation relations of Met-enkephalin analogues are presented using confluent Caco-2 cells as an in vitro permeation model. Four model peptides (Met-enkephalin, [D-Ala2]Met-enkephalin, [D-Ala2]Met-enkephalinamide, and metkephamid) were tested in terms of permeability, lipophilicity, charge, and molecular size. Permeability coefficients (P(eff)) across Caco-2 cells were low, 3.3 x 10(-8) to 9.5 x 10(-8) cm s-1, and were similar to typical paracellular markers. No correlation of permeability and the log(apparent octanol/buffer partition coefficient) was observed. A 40-fold increase of the permeability of metkephamid in the presence of 10 mM EDTA suggested a significant contribution of paracellular transport. Independent support for this conclusion was obtained by visualizing the pathway of the fluorescein isocyanate isomer I 1-metkephamid by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The fluorophore-labeled peptide was observed in the intercallular space only. Metkephamid permeabilities were found to be direction-specific. Permeabilities from basolateral to apical (b-to-a) were significantly higher (ca. 4-fold) than in the opposite (a-to-b) direction. The addition of verapamil equalized the permeabilities in the a-to-b and b-to-a directions, suggesting the involvement of a P-glycoprotein-mediated secretion mechanism. Similar observations were obtained with [D-Ala2]Met-enkephalinamide, but not with Met-enkephalin and [D-Ala2]Met-enkephalin. In contrast to the other analogues, metkephamid and [D-Ala2]Met-enkephalinamide are positively charged at neutral pH, as demonstrated by their isoelectric points (pl = 8.6 for [D-Ala2]Met-enkephalinamide and metkephamid and 5.3 for [D-Ala2]Met-enkephalin and Met-enkephalin). The data is in agreement with the literature showing that most compounds secreted by the P-glycoprotein transporter carry a positive charge.

iShopFloor: an Internet-enabled agent-based intelligent shop floor

Global competition is driving manufacturing companies to change the way they do business. New kinds of shop floor control systems need to be implemented for these companies to respond quickly to changing shop floor environments and customer demands. This paper presents a new concept called iShopFloor-an intelligent shop floor based on the Internet, web, and agent technologies. It focuses on the implementation of distributed intelligence in the manufacturing shop floor. The proposed approach provides the framework for components of a complex control system to work together as a whole rather than as a disjoint set. It encompasses both information architecture and integration methodologies. The paper introduces the basic concept of iShopFloor, a generic system architecture, and system components. It also describes the implementation of eXtensible Markup Language message services in iShopFloor and the application of intelligent agents to distributed manufacturing scheduling. A prototype environment is presented, and some implementation issues are discussed.
