Research was performed into the use of hemp shive as a fast-growing and carbon-storing agricultural waste material in the production of particleboard for the construction industry. Hemp shives were acquired and prepared for board production with the use of milling and sieving to reach two target groups with 0.5 mm to 2 mm and 2 mm to 5.6 mm particle size ranges. The cold pressing method was used to produce hemp boards with Kleiberit urea formaldehyde resin as a binder. The boards were made as 19 mm thick single-layer parts with a density range of 300 ± 30 kg/m3, which qualifies them as low-density boards. Exploratory samples were made using milled hemp fibers with higher density. Additional components such as color pigments and wood finishes were added to test improved features over raw board samples. Tests were performed to determine moisture contents, density range, structural properties, and water absorption amounts. Produced board bending strength reached 2.4 MPa for the coarser particle group and thermal conductivity of 0.057 ± 0.002 W/(mK). The results were compared with existing materials used in the industry or in the development stage to indicate options of developed board applications as indoor insulation material in the construction industry. 相似文献

The pro-opiomelanocortin-derived peptide alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) mediates many diverse physiological actions, including anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. However, little is known about the physiological roles of the other melanocortins, beta- and gamma-MSH. Here, we investigated the effects of melanocortin peptides in an in vivo neuroinflammation model. Six hours following intracisternal (i.c.) administration of 10 microg lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to mice a five-fold increase in the nitric oxide (NO) level was seen in the animals' brains, when detected by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). All tested melanocortins, alpha-, beta-, gamma1- and gamma2-MSH (0.001-10 nmol/mouse i.c.), dose dependently reduced the LPS induced increases in brain NO, with an order of effectiveness: beta-MSH > or = gamma1-MSH=gamma2-MSH>alpha-MSH. Our results suggest specialized functions of beta- and gamma-MSH melanocortins in inflammatory signal modulation in the brain. 相似文献

This paper presents a toolbox of solutions that enable the user to construct biologically-inspired spiking neural networks with tens of thousands of neurons and millions of connections that can be simulated in real time, visualized in 3D and connected to robots and other devices. NeMo is a high performance simulator that works with a variety of neural and oscillator models and performs parallel simulations on either GPUs or multi-core processors. SpikeStream is a visualization and analysis environment that works with NeMo and can construct networks, store them in a database and visualize their activity in 3D. The iSpike library provides biologically-inspired conversion between real data and spike representations to support work with robots, such as the iCub. Each of the tools described in this paper can be used independently with other software, and they also work well together. 相似文献

Protonation of pyridines with a strong acid is a general and straightforward approach to achieve efficient aggregation induced emission (AIE) in structurally remarkably simple organic molecules that lack any of the conventional luminophores. The relationship between the nature of counter ion and the AIE efficiency is demonstrated. The superiority of the perchlorate counter ion is attributed to efficient stabilization of the key intermolecular π+–π interactions between neighboring luminophore molecules in the crystal lattice.Protonation of planar organic luminophores with perchloric acid turns on high solid state luminescence.A large variety of optoelectronic appliances such as photovoltaic devices,1 organic light emitting diodes,2 and organic field-effect transistors3 as well as a number of light harvesting applications including artificial photosynthesis4 and photon refining,5 rely on solid state luminophores. In 2001, Tang introduced a general method to achieve highly efficient solid state luminescence (SSL) in purely organic molecules, generally known as aggregation induced emission (AIE).6 The vast majority of AIE luminogens (AIEgens) are based on sterically hindered, bulky propeller-like molecular structures to reduce the planarity of luminophore,7 because the planar architecture is known to be detrimental to the AIE efficiency.8,7a In the meantime, the majority of luminophores with high emission intensity in solution feature a planar structure, so an approach that would allow for the design of the solid state luminogens based on the planar architecture of the known solution state emitters is highly desirable.We have recently demonstrated that the formation of intermolecular interactions between quaternary nitrogen-containing heteroaromatic cations and aromatic π-system in the solid state is a convenient and general approach to achieve AIE and to turn-on high SSL in planar organic molecules.9 The high SSL has been attributed to intermolecular charge transfer (ICT) between quaternary heteroaromatic subunits such as N-methyl pyridinium and N-methyl imidazolium cations and aromatic π-systems.9b Herein we report on a further development of the conceptual approach to achieve AIE. Specifically, we demonstrate that efficient AIE can be achieved in planar organic luminophores by simple protonation of pyridine with a suitable acid (Fig. 1). Furthermore, our study provides an important insight into the relationship between the nature of counter ion and the AIE efficiency of pyridinium salts.Open in a separate windowFig. 1Effect of counter ions on AIE and SSL.The relationship between the structure of counter ion and luminescence efficiency has been studied in several pyridinium-containing AIE luminogens.10 The highest luminescence efficiency was observed for pyridinium salts possessing a counter ion that helped to avoid the detrimental aggregation-induced quenching (ACQ) effect by minimizing intermolecular π–π interactions between planar luminophore molecules (eqn (1) and (3), Fig. 1)10a,b or by stabilizing twisted conformation of luminogens (eqn (2), Fig. 2).10c In sharp contrast, a completely opposite counter ion effect has been observed in this study. Specifically, counter ions that contributed to strengthening the intermolecular interactions between planar pyridinium luminophores have helped to achieve the highest SSL efficiency (eqn (4), Fig. 1). Perchlorate was found to be superior as the counter-ion, whereas the corresponding mesylate, nitrate as well as halides were inferior. The latter showed apparent negative correlation between the polarizability of the counter ion and SSL emission intensity (Cl > Br > I; see eqn (4), Fig. 1.). The superiority of perchlorate has been rationalized based on X-ray crystallographic analysis as demonstrated below. The striking difference of counter-ion effects in this work (eqn (4)) and in the earlier studies (eqn (1)–(3)) points to an apparent difference in mechanisms that are responsible for the AIE (Fig. 1).Open in a separate windowFig. 2Synthesis of pyridinium salts 2a,b and 4a–f. Reagents and conditions: (a) aq. HClO4, MeOH or MeCN, rt, 10 min, 83% (2a); 99% (4a); 32% (6). (b) 4 M HCl in dioxane, EtOAc, rt, 10 min, 97% (2b).

(g) HNO3, MeCN, rt, 30 min, 99% (4f).Pyridinium salts 2a,b were obtained by protonation of commercially available 4-phenylpyridine 1 with aqueous HClO4 and hydrochloric acid, respectively. The protonation of previously reported 39b with HClO4, HCl, HBr, HI, MsOH and HNO3 resulted in the formation of pyridinium salts 4a–f (Fig. 2). All pyridinium salts 2a,b and 4a–f were crystalline materials.UV-vis spectra of all pyridinium salts 2a,b and 4a–f and parent heteroaromatic compounds 1 and 3 were measured in MeCN solutions at room temperature under ambient atmosphere at ca. 10−5 M concentration (see ESI, pages S11–S28†).
