This work presents the optimized luminescence spectra for the Ce3+,Sm3+-doped NaSrPO4 phosphor that was synthesized using a wet chemical method. Ce3+ and Sm3+ are activator impurities that show spectral splitting bands that corresponds to the d–f and f–f transitions, respectively. These impurity elements shows the characteristics spectral bands when doped with the NaSrPO4 host lattice. Spectral splitting in the Ce3+ excitation band was monitored in the 240–340 nm range, in which the observed bands were located at 269 nm, 292 nm and 321 nm, and emission bands were observed in the broad spectral range 330–430 nm. However, when Sm3+ ion was doped in the same host lattice we obtained a characteristic emission band at 590 and 645 nm in the orange–red region, under sharp excitation bands located at 345, 361, 375, and 403 nm respectively. Also, we carried out energy transfer analysis in the Ce3+/Dy3+-doped NaSrPO4 phosphor. Further crystalline phase and the nanophase nature of the phosphor compound were confirmed using X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy analyses. 相似文献

Background
Natural selection has molded evolution across all taxa. At an arguable date of around 330,000 years ago there were already at least two different types of cattle that became ancestors of nearly all modern cattle, the Bos taurus taurus more adapted to temperate climates and the tropically adapted Bos taurus indicus. After domestication, human selection exponentially intensified these differences. To better understand the genetic differences between these subspecies and detect genomic regions potentially under divergent selection, animals from the International Bovine HapMap Experiment were genotyped for over 770,000 SNP across the genome and compared using smoothed FST. The taurine sample was represented by ten breeds and the contrasting zebu cohort by three breeds.Results
Each cattle group evidenced similar numbers of polymorphic markers well distributed across the genome. Principal components analyses and unsupervised clustering confirmed the well-characterized main division of domestic cattle. The top 1% smoothed FST, potentially associated to positive selection, contained 48 genomic regions across 17 chromosomes. Nearly half of the top FST signals (n = 22) were previously detected using a lower density SNP assay. Amongst the strongest signals were the BTA7:~50 Mb and BTA14:~25 Mb; both regions harboring candidate genes and different patterns of linkage disequilibrium that potentially represent intrinsic differences between cattle types. The bottom 1% of the smoothed FST values, potentially associated to balancing selection, included 24 regions across 13 chromosomes. These regions often overlap with copy number variants, including the highly variable region at BTA23:~24 Mb that harbors a large number of MHC genes. Under these regions, 318 unique Ensembl genes are annotated with a significant overrepresentation of immune related pathways.Conclusions
Genomic regions that are potentially linked to purifying or balancing selection processes in domestic cattle were identified. These regions are of particular interest to understand the natural and human selective pressures to which these subspecies were exposed to and how the genetic background of these populations evolved in response to environmental challenges and human manipulation.Electronic supplementary material

In this work, the optical and structural properties of ultrasonically prepared CaF2:Eu3+ nanoparticles have been reported. Ultrasonically prepared CaF2:Eu3+ phosphor shows orange, red emission bands at 591 nm and 612 nm, respectively, when it is excited by 394 light‐emitting diode (LED) excitation wavelengths. Further phosphor materials are well characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques to confirm the phase purity, metal oxygen (MO) bonding and crystallites size of the materials. Here synthesized materials show a tube‐like structure under 100 nm resolution and 0.1 mol% is the best doping value of the europium ion (Eu3+) in calcium fluoride (CaF2) that shows highest intensity when prepared with an ultrasound assisted method. 相似文献

Background
Signatures of selection are regions in the genome that have been preferentially increased in frequency and fixed in a population because of their functional importance in specific processes. These regions can be detected because of their lower genetic variability and specific regional linkage disequilibrium (LD) patterns.Methods
By comparing the differences in regional LD variation between dairy and beef cattle types, and between indicine and taurine subspecies, we aim at finding signatures of selection for production and adaptation in cattle breeds. The VarLD method was applied to compare the LD variation in the autosomal genome between breeds, including Angus and Brown Swiss, representing taurine breeds, and Nelore and Gir, representing indicine breeds. Genomic regions containing the top 0.01 and 0.1 percentile of signals were characterized using the UMD3.1 Bos taurus genome assembly to identify genes in those regions and compared with previously reported selection signatures and regions with copy number variation.Results
For all comparisons, the top 0.01 and 0.1 percentile included 26 and 165 signals and 17 and 125 genes, respectively, including TECRL, BT.23182 or FPPS, CAST, MYOM1, UVRAG and DNAJA1.Conclusions
The VarLD method is a powerful tool to identify differences in linkage disequilibrium between cattle populations and putative signatures of selection with potential adaptive and productive importance. 相似文献5.
Ba3Al2O5Cl2:Eu2+ phosphor was prepared by combustion synthesis (CS). The prepared phosphor was excited at 329 nm; the phosphors shows an efficient bluish‐green wide‐band emission centred at 490 nm, which originates from the 4f6d1 → 4f7 transition of Eu2+ ions. The excitation spectra of the phosphors have a band centred at 329 nm. It was also characterized by XRD, FT–IR for confirmation of phase purity, and FT–IR analysis indicated the vibrations of metal–oxygen (M–O) groups. SEM shows the morphology of the phosphor at the submicron scale. The results indicate that Ba3Al2O5Cl2:Eu2+ phosphor may be applicable for solid‐state lighting purposes.

In this article, we report the synthesis of Na2Sr1‐x(PO4)F:Eux phosphor via a combustion method. The influence of different annealing temperatures on the photoluminescence properties was investigated. The phosphor was excited at both 254 and 393 nm. Na2Sr1‐x(PO4)F:Eux3+ phosphors emit strong orange and red color at 593 and 612 nm, respectively, under both excitation wavelengths. Na2Sr1‐x(PO4)F:Eux3+ phosphors annealed at 1050°C showed stronger emission intensity compared with 600, 900 and 1200°C. Moreover, Na2Sr1‐x(PO4)F:Eux3+ phosphor was found to be more intense when compared with commercial Y2O3:Eu3+ phosphor. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

In this article we report Eu3+ luminescence in novel K3Ca2(SO4)3Cl phosphors prepared by wet chemical methods. The Eu3+ emission was observed at 594 nm and 615 nm, keeping the excitation wavelength constant at 396 nm nearer to light‐emitting diode excitation, Furthermore, phosphors were characterized by X‐ray diffraction for the confirmation of crystallinity. The variation of the photoluminescence intensity with impurity concentration has also been discussed. Thus, prominent emission in the red region makes prepared phosphors more applicable for white light‐emitting diodes. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

RHO GTP-binding proteins are important regulators of actin-myosin interactions in uterine smooth muscle cells. Active (GTP-bound) RHOA binds to RHO-associated protein kinase (ROCK1), which inhibits the myosin-binding subunit (PPP1R12A) of myosin light chain phosphatase, leading to calcium-independent increases in myosin light chain phosphorylation and tension, which are termed "calcium sensitization." The RHO effector protein kinase N (PKN1) also increases calcium sensitization by phosphorylating the protein kinase C (PRKCB)-dependent protein CPI-17 (PPP1R14A) to inhibit the PPP1c subunit of myosin phosphatase. Moreover, other RHO proteins, such as RHOB, RHOD, and their effectors (DIAPH1 and DIAPH2), may modulate PKN1/ ROCK1 signaling to effect changes in myosin phosphatase activity and myosin light chain phosphorylation. The increases in contractile activity observed in term and preterm labor may be due to an increase in RHO activity and/or changes in RHO-related proteins. We found that the RHOA and RHOB mRNA levels in the myometrium were increased in pregnancy, although the expression levels of the RHOA and RHOB proteins did not change with pregnancy or labor. GTP-bound RHOA was increased in pregnancy, and this increase was significant in spontaneous preterm labor myometrium. PKN1 expression and PPP1R14A phosphorylation were dramatically increased in the pregnant myometrium. We also observed increases in DIAPH1 expression in spontaneous term and preterm labor myometrial tissues. The present study shows that human pregnancy is characterized by increases in PKN1 expression and PPP1R14A phosphorylation in the myometrium. Moreover, increases in GTP-bound RHOA and DIAPH1 expression may contribute to the increase in uterine activity in idiopathic preterm labor. 相似文献

A novel approach to the design of sensitive fluorescent probes for nucleic acids detection is proposed. Suitable modifications of tri- and pentamethine cyanine dyes in the polymethine chain and/or in the heterocyclic residues can result in a significant decrease in unbound dye fluorescence intensity and an increase in dye emission intensity in the presence of DNA compared to the unsubstituted dye. The sharp enhancement in the fluorescence intensity upon dye interaction with double-stranded DNA permits the application of the modified tri- and pentamethine dyes as fluorescent probes in double-stranded DNA detection in homogeneous assays. 相似文献
