The colored material (X) was effectively separated from sugarcane molasses using reversed-phase chromatography. Characterization of the molecular structure of sample X was performed using infrared absorption (IR) spectrometry, mass spectrometry (MS), and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The IR spectrum was similar to that of commercial humic acid, and the MS analysis showed that the sample possessed relatively small heterogeneous molecules with molecular masses around 234, 446, 657, 868, and 1079 Da. On the other hand, X sample showed an inhibitory activity toward the cysteine proteinase papain. Furthermore, the inhibitory (G-1) and weak inhibitory (G-2) fractions were separated from sample X using gel permeation chromatography. Samples G-1 and G-2 inhibited papain partial-noncompetitively and had the inhibition constants of 5.01 x 10(-5) and 1.08 x 10(-3)M, respectively. Interestingly, in the DLS experiment, the Stokes radius of sample G-1 was approximately 2 nm, about twice one of sample G-2. 相似文献

Extracellular DNA is omnipresent in aquatic environments and is thought to be a genetic material for horizontal gene transformation between microorganisms. We studied the impact of gamma irradiation on the transformation efficiency (transformants number per ng of DNA per ml) of extracellular DNA. Plasmid pEGFP as a model extracellular DNA was irradiated by gamma rays. The transformation efficiency decreased with the increase in radiation dose. A total dose of 10Gy is normally not lethal for microorganisms but certainly affects the transformation efficiency of extracellular DNA. The decrease in the efficiency would be induced by strand breaks of extracellular DNA because the yield of both single-strand breaks (SSBs) and double-strand breaks (DSBs) increased with the increase in radiation dose. The relative transformation efficiency of SSBs and DSBs to that of covalently closed circles (CCCs) was 30.3% and 0.2%, respectively. This impact on natural transformation suggests an inability of microorganisms to acquire new characteristics which should be normally acquired. 相似文献

Background, aim, and scope
Zinc is an essential micronutrient element but its concentrations found in contaminated soils frequently exceed those required by the plant and soil organisms, and thus create danger to animal and human health. Phytoremediation is a technique, often employed in remediation of contaminated soils, which aims to remove heavy metals or other contaminants from soils or waters using plants. Arabidopsis (A.) halleri ssp. gemmifera is a plant recently found to be grown vigorously in heavy metal contaminated areas of Japan and it contained remarkably high amount of heavy metals in its shoots. However, the magnitude of Zn accumulation and tolerance in A. halleri ssp. gemmifera need to be investigated for its use as a phytoremediation plant. 相似文献4.

The present work focuses on investigation of the effective recovery of heavy metals from molten fly ash by applying chloride-induced
volatilization. In particular, the effect of unburned carbon on the chloride-induced volatilization of lead, zinc, and copper
from model and real molten fly ashes was investigated in the temperature range 873–1173 K under a N2 atmosphere. As a result, almost 100% of lead and a significant proportion of zinc were volatilized from the real molten fly
ash samples at 1173 K. In contrast, for the model fly ash, volatilization ratios of lead and zinc at 1173 K were only 85%
and 25%, respectively. Further, the results of X-ray diffraction analysis suggested that PbO in molten fly ash was converted
either to Pb2OCl2 or Pb by respective chlorination and reduction reactions. Meanwhile ZnO and CuO in the molten fly ash were reduced to Zn
and Cu by reaction with unburned carbon. Subsequently, Pb, Zn, and Pb2OCl2 were volatilized, but Cu remained in the solid residue. Finally, the volatilization ratio of zinc increased with the addition
of carbon, and more than 98% of zinc was volatilized at 1173 K from a fly ash with a carbon content of 20%. 相似文献

Reactive volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are known to affect atmospheric chemistry. Biogenic VOCs (BVOCs) have a significant impact on regional air quality due to their large emission rates and high reactivities. Diterpenes (most particularly, kaur-16-ene) were detected in all of the 205 enclosure air samples collected over multiple seasons at two different sites from Cryptomeria japonica and Chamaecyparis obtusa trees, the dominant coniferous trees in Japan,. The emission rate of kaur-16-ene, was determined to be from 0.01 to 7.1 μg dwg−1 h−1 (average: 0.61 μg dwg−1 h−1) employing branch enclosure measurements using adsorbent sampling followed by solid phase-liquid extraction techniques. The emission rate was comparable to that of monoterpenes, which is known major BVOC emissions, collected from the same branches. In addition, total emission of kaur-16-ene at 30 °C was estimated to exceed that of total anthropogenic VOC emissions. 相似文献

For an effective decomposition and removal of organic halogenated compounds, a packed-bed non-thermal plasma reactor with
in situ absorption of the resulting halogenated products by alkaline sorbent incorporated was proposed. In the plasma reactor,
α-Al2O3 particles of 1 and 3 mm (mean particle diameter) were packed as solid dielectric medium to enhance the plasma power density
in the reactor. Further, alkaline sorbent of Ca(OH)2 was doped onto the surface of α-Al2O3 particles, in order to remove halogenated products by in situ absorption with Ca(OH)2. A high-voltage and high-frequency pulsed power of −15 to 15 kV and 1 kHz was applied to the wire electrode of the plasma
reactor by means of a DC power source. In the present study, as the sample of an organic halogenated compound that is most
popularly used, we selected dichloromethane (CH2Cl2), and 500 ppm of the initial concentration of CH2Cl2 was fed into the reactor accompanied by air at a fixed flow rate of 500 × 10−6 m3 min−1 at room temperature. As a result, it was recognized that the amount of CH2Cl2 decomposed by non-thermal plasma in an α-Al2O3 particle bed increased with an increase in plasma input power. The ratio of decomposition of CH2Cl2 was almost 100% at 13 kV of electric power and 1 kHz frequency, and CO2, CH3Cl, COCl2, HCl, and Cl2 were observed as the major reaction products. On the other hand, when CH2Cl2 was introduced into the plasma reactor where α-Al2O3 particles doped with Ca(OH)2 were packed, the ratio of decomposition of CH2Cl2 became higher, compared to the case that α-Al2O3 particles were not doped with Ca(OH)2. Moreover, there were no halogenated by-product gases detected in the outlet gas from the reactor. As the solid reaction
products, CaClOH and Ca(ClO)2·4H2O were detected on Ca(OH)2 by X-ray diffraction. From these findings, it was recognized that CH2Cl2 was decomposed more effectively without producing unwanted harmful halogenated by-products in the proposed non-thermal plasma
reactor where α-Al2O3 particles doped with Ca(OH)2 sorbent were packed. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Child crash dummies are conventionally used for safety performance evaluations of the child restraint system (CRS) in vehicle crash tests. To investigate injuries to various body regions of a child in detail, mathematical models are useful, and provide information that cannot be analyzed by crash dummies. Therefore, in the present research, a finite element (FE) model of a 3-year-old child has been developed by model-based scaling from the AM50 human FE model, THUMS (Total HUman body for Safety). METHODS: The dimensions of each body region were based on the anthropometry data of United States children, and material properties of child bone were estimated from data reported in the literature. Neck flexion, thorax impact responses, and torso flexion were validated against the response corridor of the 3-year-old Hybrid III dummy in calibration tests. A test of lap belt loading to the abdomen was also conducted. FE models of two different types of CRS, a 5-point harness and a tray shield CRS, were also made, and ECE R44 sled impact test simulations were conducted using the child FE model. RESULTS: The characteristics of the child FE model proved to be close to the Hybrid III and child volunteer corridor. In the ECE R44 sled test simulations using the child FE model, the head movement down and head rotation were large in the 5-point harness CRS, and chest deflection was large in the tray shield CRS. In both CRS types, the whole spine flexed in the child FE model. This behavior is different from that of the Hybrid III, where the thorax spine is stiff and only the cervical spine and lumbar spine flex. CONCLUSIONS: Although this child FE model has several limitations in areas such as the anatomical shapes and material properties of a child, this model can be a useful tool to examine the behavior of a child in impacts, which may be difficult to predict by using the Hybrid III dummy with its stiff thorax spine box. 相似文献

We examined the species composition and horizontal distribution of myctophid fish larvae in the transition region of the western North Pacific during the early summer. In total, 4,760 myctophid larvae were collected at 44 stations; 18 species of myctophids from 15 genera were collected, and the 8 most abundant species accounted for >95% of larvae. The distribution patterns of these larvae were well defined by the hydrographic structures of the study area including the Oyashio and Kuroshio fronts, the Subarctic Boundary, and a warm core ring. The horizontal distribution patterns of the eight dominant species were categorized into three groups: northern transition water (Stenobrachius nannochir, Tarletonbeania taylori, and Lampanyctus jordani), southern transition water (Symbolophorus californiensis, Diaphus theta, and Nannobrachium regale), and Kuroshio (Myctophum asperum and Diaphus garmani). The Subarctic Boundary defined the distributions of the northern and southern transition-water groups. The importance of areas of western North Pacific transition water as spawning and nursery grounds for subarctic, transitional, and subtropical myctophid fishes was indicated by the relationship between the horizontal distribution patterns of larvae, juveniles, and adults and the physical oceanographic structures.Communicated by T.

Most wood-feeding insects need an association with microbes to utilize wood as food, and some have special organs to store
and convey the microbes. We report here the discovery of the microbe-storage organ (mycangium) in stag beetles (Coleoptera:
Lucanidae), which develop in decayed wood. The mycangium, which was discovered in the abdomen, is present in all adult females
of 22 lucanid species examined in this study, but absent in adult males. By contrast, adult insects of both sexes of selected
Passalidae, Geotrupidae, and Scarabaeidae, which are related to Lucanidae, lacked mycangia similar to those of the lucanid
species. Yeast-like microbes were isolated from the mycangium of five lucanid species. DNA sequence analyses indicate that
the microbes are closely related to the xylose-fermenting yeasts Pichia stipitis, Pichia segobiensis, or Pichia sp. known from the gut of a passalid species. 相似文献
