Two copper(II) chloride complexes of amidino-O-methylurea (L1), [Cu(L1)Cl2] (1), and (N-benzyl)-amidino-O-methylurea (L2), [Cu(L2)Cl2] (2), were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared, diffuse reflectance, electron spin resonance and electrospray ionization mass spectra. Their cytosine binding abilities has been studied and found that two cytosine molecules are able to coordinate with the copper centers by replacing the chloride ligands to yield the bifunctional binding adducts [Cu(L1)(cyt)2]Cl2 (1c) and [Cu(L2)(cyt)2]Cl2 (2c), respectively. The shift of the CO band of cytosine in both cytosine-bound products to higher energy suggested that the N(3)-cytosine atom coordinates to the copper center. The large blue shifts of the d-d absorbance maxima and the nine superhyperfine splitting from the CuN4 chromophore were also observed in their electronic and EPR spectra. Their thermal decompositions have also supported the interaction of cytosine with complexes 1 and 2. Density functional calculations have also been performed and revealed that square planar coordination geometry is more stable for both 1c and 2c. The binding energy of 1c is found to be ∼20% lower than that of 2c, indicative of the higher binding potential of 1c. 相似文献

- Field body temperatures (Tb's) of Chamaeleo chamaeleon in southwestern Spain averaged 28 °C in October and 30 °C in June. Slopes of regressions of Tb on Ta (ambient temperature at perch height) indicated that individuals were able to maintain a preferred body temperature of about 30 °C in June but not in October. 相似文献

- 1.1. Diurnal cycles of body temperature, Tb, and energy metabolism, M, at different ambient temperatures (Ta: +5 −+ 32°C) were tested in 13 sunbird species from various habitats and of different body masses (5.2–14.2 g) including one of the smallest passerines, Aethopyga christinae.
- 2.2. Resting M-level (night) reaches Ta-dependent mean values of 54% (+5°C) and 49% (+25°C) of activity M-levels (day). Expected level is ca 75%.
- 3.3. Resting metabolic rate of sunbirds lies within the range of theoretically expected values for birds.
- 4.4. Mean linear metabolism-weight regression of the night values follows: M = 0.102 × W0.712 (M = energy metabolism in kJ/hr and W = body mass in g).
- 5.5. Thermal conductances, Tc, are lower (−24%) than the predicted values. This is caused by a decrease of Tb at low Ta. Mean nocturnal Tc is 3.2 J/g × hr × °C, mean day-time value is 4.3 J/g × hr × °C.
- 6.6. The zone of thermoneutrality is, in most species, within a Ta-range of 24–28°C.
- 7.7. Normal day and night levels of Tb are in the same range as reported for other birds of the same weight class. Tb decreases slightly with falling Ta (partial heterothermia). Lowest recorded Tb was 34.2°C.
- 8.8. No species tested showed any sign of torpor at night, independent of Ta, body mass or habitat origin.

The properties of new five-component poly(hydroxyalkanoates) (PHA) formed by short-and medium-chain monomers synthesized by the bacterium Wautersia eutropha B5786 were studied by X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, differential thermal analysis, and viscometry. The degree of crystallinity of PHA decreased from 72 to 57% as the molar fraction of hydroxyhexanoate increased from 2.5 to 18.0 mol%. The melting temperature (T m) and decomposition temperature (T d) of the multicomponent PHA are lower than those for poly(hydroxybutyrate), whose T m and T d are 168–170 and 260–265°C, respectively. Both parameters of the multicomponent PHA decrease to 156 and 252°C, respectively, as the hydroxyhexanoate mole fraction is raised. The effect of hydroxyhexanoate on the physicochemical properties of the PHA is similar to that of hydroxyvalerate observed previously. 相似文献

Identification of noninvasive and informative sites on the body reflecting the development of body thermal imbalance during extravehicular activities (EVAs) is highly important for enhancing astronaut safety. Temperature changes were evaluated on several areas of the head (the mastoid fossa (T mf ), the forehead (T fo ), and the cheek (T ch )) and on the fingers (T fing ). Subjects were dressed in a multicompartment liquid cooling/warming garment. Studies I and II consisted of different combinations of hood versus garment cooling or warming imposed across stages; studies III and IV involved sagittally divided cooling or warming regimes with the hood worn (study III) or with the head uncovered (study IV). In studies I and II, T mf significantly (P < 0.05) differed between stages 2, when the head was cooled and the rest of the body heated, and 3, when the head was heated and the rest of the body cooled. The T mf changes were consistent with the thermal conditions imposed on the head but not reflective of the developing body heat deficit. In study III, the T mf at stages 2 and 3 on the right or the left followed the thermal conditions on the ipsilateral side of the body (P < 0.01). In study IV, T fing showed no significant differences across stages. In studies I–IV, T fing showed consistent changes across stages (P < 0.05), reflecting the developing body heat deficit. In all studies, there were no significant differences in rectal temperature (T re ) across stages. T mf and temperatures at other head skin sites did not respond in accordance with the actual intensity of a heat or cold flux from the garment and were not reflective of the overall development of body thermal imbalance. T fing was a more adequate indicator of initial thermal destabilization and provided information that would be useful for monitoring the thermal balance and comfort during EVAs. 相似文献

- 1.1. The effect of short-term (79 hr) food deprivation at 27°C on body mass, locomotor activity, body temperature (Tb), and resting oxygen consumption was determined in eleven American kestrels (Falco sparverius).
- 2.2. The change in body mass during resting followed the relation, % mass remaining = 99 e0.07(days fasting). There was no significant difference in the rate of relative mass loss between males and females.
- 3.3. Locomotor activity, measured as perch hopping, was highly variable in both control and fasted birds and showed no correlation with stage of the fast, basal metabolic rate (BMR), or rate of mass loss during food deprivation.
- 4.4. Body temperatures of fasted birds declined continuously by 0.2–0.4°C per day from 39.3 to 38.3°C.
- 5.5. Both males and females responded to food deprivation with a decrease in metabolism. By the third night of fasting, BMR had declined 23.4% from 0.845 W (bird day)−1 to 0.647 W (bird day)−1. The observed reduction in BMR is 2.4 times that expected from a 1°C decline in Tb (assuming Q10 = 2.5) indicating active suppression of metabolism.

N,N′-bis[4-(2-aminoethyl)morpholino]glyoxime (H2L) (Fig. 1), has been prepared in various yields using three different methods. The most efficient of these methods is the technique of microwave irradiation. The crystal structures of H2L, and of two nickel(II) complexes 1 and 2 have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Both nickel(II) complexes have a metal-ligand ratio of 1:2 in which the ligand coordinates through the two nitrogen atoms as do most vic-dioximes. The nickel(II) complexes are either hydrogen (1) or boron diphenyl bridged (2). Complex 1 was synthesized by reacting H2L with nickel(II) chloride in refluxing ethanol. Complex 2 was prepared at room temperature in an ethanol solution containing excess NaBPh4. Elemental analyses, NMR(1H, 13C), IR and mass data are also presented. 相似文献

- Seasonal changes in a bird's physiology and behavior are considered to be a part of an adaptive strategy for survival and reproductive success. To understand modes of metabolic adaptations, the metabolic rate (Vo2), body temperature (Tb), and thermal conductance (C) of the Chinese bulbul (Pycnonotus sinensis) in the Zhejiang Province of China were determined in the summer and the winter at a temperature range from 5 to 35 °C, respectively. 相似文献

Environmental factors play an important role in the seasonal adaptation of body mass and thermogenesis in small, wild mammals. The purpose of the present study was to test the hypothesis that ambient temperature was a cue to trigger the seasonal adjustments in body mass, energy intake, uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) in brown adipose tissue (BAT), and other biochemical characteristics of Eothenomys miletus during 49 days of cold exposure. Our data demonstrated that cold acclimation induced a remarkable decrease in body mass, a significant increase in energy intake and metabolic rate, and high expression of UCP1 in BAT of E. miletus. Biochemical characteristics of BAT and liver respiration were also increased following cold acclimation. These data suggest that E. miletus reduced the body mass and increased energy intake and expenditure under cold acclimation. Increased expression of UCP1 was potentially involved in the regulation of energy metabolism and thermogenic capacity following cold acclimation. 相似文献

- 1.1.|Colonic temperatures of BALB/c and CBA/J mice, golden hamsters, and Sprague-Dawley rats were taken immediately after exposure for 90 min to radiofrequency (RF) radiation.
- 2.2.|Exposures were made in 2450 MHz (mouse and hamster) or 600 MHz (rat) waveguide exposure systems while the dose rate, specific absorption rate (SAR), was continuously recorded. Experiments were performed on naive, unrestrained animals at ambient temperatures (Ta) of 20 and 30°C.
- 3.3.|Body mass and Ta) were found to be significant factors in influencing the threshold SAR for the elevation of colonic temperature. The threshold SARs at Ta's of 20 and 30°C were respectively: 27.5 and 12.1 W/kg for the BALB/c mouse; 40.7 and 8.5 W/kg for the CBA/J mouse; 8.7 and 0.61 W/kg for the golden hamster; and 1.58 and 0.4 W/kg for the Sprague-Dawley rat.
- 4.4.|The relationship between threshold SAR or SAR for a 1.0°C elevation in colonic temperature vs body mass were linearly and inversely related on a double logarithmic plot. The results of this study suggest that the thermoregulatory sensitivity to RF radiation in these rodent species is heavily dependent on body mass and Ta.

- The daily ration required to maintain a population growth rate, r m, of zero (threshold ration) increased with increasing Asplanchna body mass. This relationship is described by the equation T=0.342 W0.797 where T=threshold ration (μg day-1 dry mass) and W=Asplanchna body mass (μg adult-1 dry mass).
- The threshold ration of large campanulate morphs of A. silvestrii was 3.7 times greater than that of conspecific saccate morphs suggesting that campanulates may be restricted to food-rich habitats.
- The daily ration required to maintain r m that is half the maximal population growth rate increased with increasing Asplanchna body mass and is described by the equation H=1.107 W1.103 where H=ration level and W=Asplanchna body mass. This population growth characteristic may reflect adaptations of rotifers to resource level.
- The relationships between ration level, food concentration, and Asplanchna body mass do not support the predictions of the size-efficiency hypothesis but are consistent with observed patterns of species distribution in nature.

为了研究光周期和高脂食物对小型哺乳动物能量代谢和产热的影响,将成年雌性高山姬鼠分别驯化于长光照低脂、高脂食物和短光照低脂、高脂食物条件下,7周后测定动物的体重、能量摄入、产热、身体组成、血清瘦素浓度以及体脂含量等参数。结果发现:1)短光照抑制体重增长,降低血清瘦素浓度,增加非颤抖性产热;2)高脂食物使摄入能减少,消化率和体脂含量提高,但未显著影响体重、基础代谢率、非颤抖性产热和血清瘦素浓度;3)血清瘦素浓度与摄入能不相关,但与体脂重量正相关。结果暗示:短光照下瘦素作用敏感性增加和产热能力增强,可能介导了抵抗高脂食物诱导的肥胖。在野外条件下,高山姬鼠能通过能量代谢和产热的适应性调节避免体重的过度增长,有利于降低捕食风险,增强生存能力。 相似文献

Three new copper(II) complexes of 5,5-diethlybarbiturate (barb), [Cu(barb)2(dmen)]·0.5H2O (dmen = N,N-dimethylethylenediamine) 1, [Cu(barb)2(bapa)] (bapa = bis(3-aminopropyl)amine) 2, and [Cu(barb)(apen)](barb)·2H2O (apen = N,N′-bis(3-aminopropyl)ethylenediamine) 3, have been synthesized and characterized by chemical, spectroscopic and thermal methods. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies revealed that all complexes are mononuclear. The copper(II) ion exhibits a square-pyramidal coordination geometry in 1 and 3, but a trigonal-bipyramidal geometry in 2. The barb ligand shows different coordination modes. 1 presents the unequal coordination of the barb ligands: one is monodentate (N) and the other one is bidentate (N, O). In 2, both barb ligands are N-coordinated, whereas in 3, one barb ligand is N-coordinated, while the second barb ligand behaves as a counter-ion. The dmen, bapa and apen ligands act as bi-, tri- and tetradentate ligands, respectively. All complexes display a hydrogen-bonded network structure. The IR spectroscopic analysis shows that the ν(CO) stretching frequencies do not correlate predictably with the coordination mode of the barb ligand in 1. Thermal analysis data for 1-3 are in agreement with the crystal structures. 相似文献

We herein describe the synthesis and characterization of a series of homoleptic, Ru(II) complexes bearing peripheral carboxylic acid functionality based upon the novel ligand 4′-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4,4″-di-(tert-butyl)tpy (L1), as well as 4′-(4-carboxyphenyl)tpy (L2) and 4′-(carboxy)tpy (L3) (where tpy = 2,2′: 6′,2″-terpyridine). Inspection of the metal-based oxidations (E1/2 = 1.22-1.42 V) indicates an anodic shift (∼0.2 V) for (L3)2Ru2+ (3b) (E1/2 = 1.40 V) relative to (L2)2Ru2+ (2b) (E1/2 = 1.22 V). The metal-based oxidation (E1/2 = 1.22 V) and ligand-based reductions (E1/2 = −1.25 to −1.52 V) of (L1)2Ru2+ (1) are essentially invariant relative to those of the structural analogue 2b (PF6)2, which suggests no significant electronic effect caused by the tert-butyl groups. This is supported by invariance in the metal-to-ligand charge transfer bands in both the electronic absorption (494-489 nm) and emission spectra (654-652 nm). However, contrary to 2b, complex 1 is both very soluble and exhibits a highly porous solid-state structure with internal cavity dimensions of 15 Å × 14 Å due to the preclusion of inter-annular interactions by the bulky tert-butyl substituents. 相似文献
