Solutions to the complex Korteweg-de Vries equation: Blow-up solutions and non-singular solutions
In the paper two kinds of solutions are derived for the complex Korteweg-de
Vries equation, including blow-up solutions and non-singular solutions. We
derive blow-up solutions from known 1-soliton solution and a double-pole
solution. There is a complex Miura transformation between the complex
Korteweg-de Vries equation and a modified Korteweg-de Vries equation. Using the
transformation, solitons, breathers and rational solutions to the complex
Korteweg-de Vries equation are obtained from those of the modified Korteweg-de
Vries equation. Dynamics of the obtained solutions are illustrated.Comment: 12 figure
catena-Poly[[bis(1-methyl-1H-imidazole-κN 3)zinc]-μ-3-nitrophthalato-κ2 O 1:O2]
In the title complex, [Zn(C8H3NO6)(C4H6N2)2]n, the carboxylate groups of the 3-nitrophthalate dianion ligand coordinate the ZnII ion in a bis-monodentate mode. The ZnII ion shows distorted tetrahedral coordination as it is bonded to two O atoms from the carboxylate groups of symmetry-related 3-nitrophthalate anions and two N atoms of two independent 1-methylimidazole molecules. The bridging 3-nitrophthalate ligand allows the formation of one-dimensional chains in the c direction. The crystal structure is further stabilized by weak intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds
Phenol Adsorption on Nitrogen-Enriched Activated Carbon from Wood Fiberboard Waste
Nitrogen-enriched activated carbons were prepared from wood fiberboard waste using 50% potassium hydroxide solution. Activated carbons were obtained with an impregnation ratio (gram chemical agent/gram wood fiberboard waste) of 3 in 850°C activation temperature carbonized for 60 min. Nitrogen content in activated carbon was 1.33% by analysis. Effects of contact time, pH, adsorbent dosage level, and temperature on phenol adsorption capacity of activated carbons were investigated. Adsorption equilibrium was achieved within 100 min at the given phenol concentration of 250 mg/L. When 0.1 g of the carbon absorbent and 100 mL of phenol solution at 250 mg/L were used, maximum adsorption capacity of phenol on activated carbon can reach 207 mg/g. The kinetics of phenol adsorption followed nicely the pseudo-second-order rate expression. In the adsorption isotherm, the Langmuir model fit better than the Freundlich model in phenol adsorption. This study suggests that nitrogen-enriched activated carbon prepared from wood fiberboard waste can be used effectively for removal of phenol compounds from aqueous solutions
Galactic Disk Bulk Motions as Revealed by the LSS-GAC DR2
We report a detailed investigation of the bulk motions of the nearby Galactic
stellar disk, based on three samples selected from the LSS-GAC DR2: a global
sample containing 0.57 million FGK dwarfs out to 2 kpc, a local subset
of the global sample consisting 5,400 stars within 150 pc, and an
anti-center sample containing 4,400 AFGK dwarfs and red clump stars
within windows of a few degree wide centered on the Galactic anti-center. The
global sample is used to construct a three-dimensional map of bulk motions of
the Galactic disk from the solar vicinity out to 2 kpc with a spatial
resolution of 250 pc. Typical values of the radial and vertical
components of bulk motion range from 15 km s to 15 km s, while
the lag behind the circular speed dominates the azimuthal component by up to
15 km s. The map reveals spatially coherent, kpc-scale stellar
flows in the disk, with typical velocities of a few tens km s. Bending-
and breathing-mode perturbations are clearly visible, and vary smoothly across
the disk plane. Our data also reveal higher-order perturbations, such as breaks
and ripples, in the profiles of vertical motion versus height. From the local
sample, we find that stars of different populations exhibit very different
patterns of bulk motion. Finally, the anti-center sample reveals a number of
peaks in stellar number density in the line-of-sight velocity versus distance
distribution, with the nearer ones apparently related to the known moving
groups. The "velocity bifurcation" reported by Liu et al. (2012) at
Galactocentric radii 10--11 kpc is confirmed. However, just beyond this
distance, our data also reveal a new triple-peaked structure.Comment: 27 pages, 17 figures, Accepted for publication in a special issue of

An Improved Method to Knock Out the asd Gene of Salmonella enterica Serovar Pullorum
An asd-deleted (Δasd) mutant of Salmonella enterica serovar Pullorum (SP) was constructed using an improved method of gene knockout by combining the π-suicide plasmid system with the Red Disruption system. The asd gene was efficiently knocked out by the recombinant suicide vector, which replaced the asd gene with the CmR gene. Based on the balanced lethal host-vector system, the phenotype of the Δasd mutant was further defined. The improved method was simpler and more effective than previously reported conventional methods
