  To better understand the brain mechanisms of cognition,the use of a computer-automated behavioral testing method in animal models is an essential component.Touchscreen testing is the ideal method that allows the subject to directly respond to the photographic stimuli appeared on computer screen via a forepaw-touch or nose-poke.The advantages of this method are numerous,and it has been widely used in non-human primate cognitive test.While higher primates may be the most robust model of human cognitive research,prohibitive cost,the long experiment cycle,and animal rights issues have led to the establishment of an economical and easily operated non-human primate animal for studying the basal mechanism of cognitive function.The Chinese tree shrew(Tupaia belangeri chinensis)is the closest relative of primates.However,a systematic study of the parameters that affect learning of tree shrews has not yet been conducted.Here,we used pairwise discrimination test(PDT)system,a part of the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery Touchscreen Apparatus,as a detecting procedure to evaluate the cognitive ability of tree shrews.We also presented to rats using the same photographic stimuli to assess whether tree shrew has a higher level of cognition than that of rodents.

亚氨基二乙酸是重要的化学中间体原料,主要用于合成广谱除草剂草甘膦,在橡胶、医药等领域也有广泛的应用。国内主要以二乙醇胺为原料在高温高压及Cu基催化剂的作用下制备亚氨基二乙酸,常用的Cu基催化剂为Cu/ZrO2。先采用共沉淀、浸渍、水热等方法制备Cu0/Zr02前驱体粉末,随后在管式电炉中通氢气加热还原得到Cu/ZrO2,由此制备的催化剂具有活性高、选择性好的优点。通常认为Cu基催化剂催化二乙醇胺的

氟苯水杨酸是一种非常优秀的非甾体抗炎药,其抗炎镇痛效果好,药物半衰期长,副作用小。近年来研究者还发现氟苯水杨酸对遗传性转甲状腺素蛋白淀粉状病变疾病有治疗效果。目前氟苯水杨酸已被中国、美国、英国等大国收录至药典。该药作为阿司匹林完美的替代品,却因其冗长的合成工艺,苛刻的合成条件限制了其推广。因此高效简单的氟苯水杨酸生产路线具有很大的市场潜力和经济效益。从原料成本和工艺成本两方面考虑,从四条氟苯水杨酸

我国工业废水排放量大、污染严重,危害人民生活环境和身体健康。因此如何低成本、高效处理工业废水已成为当前重要的研究课题。目前处理废水的方法很多,其中以二氧化钛为代表的光催化氧化技术和以DSA电极材料为代表的电催化氧化技术是研究的热点。分子筛膜是一种多孔无机材料,既适合作为光催化剂的载体,又是一种广泛研究的电极材料。因此,本文首次尝试将分子筛膜作为光催化载体和电催化电极材料应用到光电催化氧化技术中。本
