However, it still remains a great challenge to prepare hierarchical glycoassemblies with controllable and diversiform structures because of the complexity of saccharide structures and carbohydrate-carbohydrate interactions. Herein, through hierarchical self-assembly of modulated amphiphilic supramolecular metallocarbohydrates, we successfully prepared various well-defined glyco-nanostructures in aqueous solution, including vesicles, solid spheres, and opened vesicles depending on the molecular structures of metallocarbohydrates. More attractively, these glyco-nanostructures can further transform into other morphological structures in aqueous solutions such as worm-like micelles, tubules, and even tupanvirus-like vesicles (TVVs). It is worth mentioning that distinctive anisotropic structures including the opened vesicles (OVs) and TVVs were rarely reported in glycobased nano-objects. This intriguing diversity was mainly controlled by the subtle structural trade-off of the two major components of the amphiphiles, i.e., the saccharides and metallacycles. To further understand this precise structural control, molecular simulations provided deep physical insights on the morphology evolution and balancing of the contributions from saccharides and metallacycles. Moreover, the multivalency of glyco-nanostructures with different shapes and sizes was demonstrated by agglutination with a diversity of sugarbinding protein receptors such as the plant lectins Concanavalin A (ConA). This modular synthesis strategy provides access to systematic tuning of molecular structure and self-assembled architecture, which undoubtedly will broaden our horizons on the controllable fabrication of biomimetic glycomaterials such as biological membranes and supramolecular lectin inhibitors.}, language = {en} } @unpublished{ChenLiXu2007, author = {Chen, Hua and Li, Wei-Xi and Xu, Chao-Jiang}, title = {Gevrey hypoellipticity for linear and non-linear Fokker-Planck equations}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-30283}, year = {2007}, abstract = {This paper studies the Gevrey regularity of weak solutions of a class of linear and semilinear Fokker-Planck equations.}, language = {en} } @article{WangWangWangetal.2016, author = {Wang, Hao and Wang, Xue-jiang and Wang, Wei-shi and Yan, Xiang-bo and Xia, Peng and Chen, Jie and Zhao, Jian-fu}, title = {Modeling and optimization of struvite recovery from wastewater and reusing for heavy metals immobilization in contaminated soil}, series = {Journal of chemical technology \& biotechnology}, volume = {91}, journal = {Journal of chemical technology \& biotechnology}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, address = {Hoboken}, issn = {0268-2575}, doi = {10.1002/jctb.4931}, pages = {3045 -- 3052}, year = {2016}, abstract = {BACKROUND: Few studies have been carried out to connect nutrients recovery from wastewater and heavy metals immobilization in contaminated soil. To achieve the goal, ammonia nitrogen (AN) and phosphorus (P) were recovered from rare-earth wastewater by using the formation of struvite, which was used as the amendment with plant ash for copper, lead and chromium immobilization. RESULTS: AN removal efficiency and residual P reached 95.32 +/- 0.73\% and 6.14 +/- 1.72mgL(-1) under optimal conditions: pH= 9.0, n(Mg): n(N): n(P)= 1.2: 1: 1.1, which were obtained using response surface methodology (RSM). The minimum available concentrations of Cu, Pb and Cr (CPC) separately reduced to 320.82 mg kg(-1), 190.77 mg kg(-1) and 121.46 mg kg(-1) with increasing immobilization time at the mass ratio of phosphate precipitate (PP)/plant ash (PA) of 1: 3. Humic acid (HA) and fulvic acid (FA) were beneficial to immobilize Cu, both of which showed no effect or even a negative effect on Pb and Cr immobilization.}, language = {en} } @article{JiaAnslanChenetal.2022, author = {Jia, Weihan and Anslan, Sten and Chen, Fahu and Cao, Xianyong and Dong, Hailiang and Dulias, Katharina and Gu, Zhengquan and Heinecke, Liv and Jiang, Hongchen and Kruse, Stefan and Kang, Wengang and Li, Kai and Liu, Sisi and Liu, Xingqi and Liu, Ying and Ni, Jian and Schwalb, Antje and Stoof-Leichsenring, Kathleen R. and Shen, Wei and Tian, Fang and Wang, Jing and Wang, Yongbo and Wang, Yucheng and Xu, Hai and Yang, Xiaoyan and Zhang, Dongju and Herzschuh, Ulrike}, title = {Sedimentary ancient DNA reveals past ecosystem and biodiversity changes on the Tibetan Plateau: overview and prospects}, series = {Quaternary science reviews : the international multidisciplinary research and review journal}, volume = {293}, journal = {Quaternary science reviews : the international multidisciplinary research and review journal}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Oxford}, issn = {0277-3791}, doi = {10.1016/j.quascirev.2022.107703}, pages = {14}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Alpine ecosystems on the Tibetan Plateau are being threatened by ongoing climate warming and intensified human activities. Ecological time-series obtained from sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) are essential for understanding past ecosystem and biodiversity dynamics on the Tibetan Plateau and their responses to climate change at a high taxonomic resolution. Hitherto only few but promising studies have been published on this topic. The potential and limitations of using sedaDNA on the Tibetan Plateau are not fully understood. Here, we (i) provide updated knowledge of and a brief introduction to the suitable archives, region-specific taphonomy, state-of-the-art methodologies, and research questions of sedaDNA on the Tibetan Plateau; (ii) review published and ongoing sedaDNA studies from the Tibetan Plateau; and (iii) give some recommendations for future sedaDNA study designs. Based on the current knowledge of taphonomy, we infer that deep glacial lakes with freshwater and high clay sediment input, such as those from the southern and southeastern Tibetan Plateau, may have a high potential for sedaDNA studies. Metabarcoding (for microorganisms and plants), metagenomics (for ecosystems), and hybridization capture (for prehistoric humans) are three primary sedaDNA approaches which have been successfully applied on the Tibetan Plateau, but their power is still limited by several technical issues, such as PCR bias and incompleteness of taxonomic reference databases. Setting up high-quality and open-access regional taxonomic reference databases for the Tibetan Plateau should be given priority in the future. To conclude, the archival, taphonomic, and methodological conditions of the Tibetan Plateau are favorable for performing sedaDNA studies. More research should be encouraged to address questions about long-term ecological dynamics at ecosystem scale and to bring the paleoecology of the Tibetan Plateau into a new era.}, language = {en} } @article{JiangTaoStolterfohtetal.2020, author = {Jiang, Wei and Tao, Chen and Stolterfoht, Martin and Jin, Hui and Stephen, Meera and Lin, Qianqian and Nagiri, Ravi C.

We have synthesized a series of triphenylamine-based materials for use in low donor content devices with the electron accepting [6,6]-phenyl-C71-butyric acid methyl ester (PC(7)0BM). The triphenylamine-based materials absorb light in the near UV enabling the PC(7)0BM to be be the main light absorbing organic semiconducting material in the solar cell. It was found that the devices did not operate as classical Schottky junctions but rather photocurrent was generated by hole transfer from the photo-excited PC(7)0BM to the triphenylamine-based donors. We found that replacing the methoxy surface groups with methyl groups on the donor material led to a decrease in hole mobility for the neat films, which was due to the methyl substituted materials having the propensity to aggregate. The thermodynamic drive to aggregate was advantageous for the performance of the low donor content (6 wt\%) films. It was found that the 6 wt\% donor devices generally gave higher performance than devices containing 50 wt\% of the donor.}, language = {en} } @article{JiangStolterfohtJinetal.2020, author = {Jiang, Wei and Stolterfoht, Martin and Jin, Hui and Burn, Paul L.}, title = {Hole-transporting poly(dendrimer)s as electron donors for low donor organic solar cells with efficient charge transport}, series = {Macromolecules : a publication of the American Chemical Society}, volume = {53}, journal = {Macromolecules : a publication of the American Chemical Society}, number = {8}, publisher = {American Chemical Society}, address = {Washington}, issn = {0024-9297}, doi = {10.1021/acs.macromol.0c00520}, pages = {2902 -- 2911}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Recent work on bulk-heterojunction organic solar cells has shown that photoexcitation of the electron acceptor followed by photoinduced hole transfer can play a significant role in photocurrent generation.

The poly(dendrimer)s were found to retain the hole transporting properties of the parent dendrimer, with hole mobilities of similar to 10(-3) cm(2)/(V s) for solution processed neat films. However, when blended with [6,6]-phenyl-C-70-butyric acid methyl ester (PC70BM), the best performing poly(dendrimer) was found to form films that had balanced and relatively high hole/electron mobilities of similar to 5 x 10(-4) cm(2) /(V s). In contrast, at the same concentration the parent dendrimer:PC70BM blend was found to have a hole mobility of 4 orders of magnitude less than the electron mobility. The balanced hole and electron mobilities for the 6 wt \% poly(dendrimer):PC70BM blend led to an absence of second-order bimolecular recombination losses at the maximum power point and resulted in a fill factor of 0.65 and a PCE 2.1\% for the devices, which was almost three times higher than the cells composed of the parent dendrimer:PC70BM blends.}, language = {en} } @article{ShaydukHallmannRodriguezFernandezetal.2022, author = {Shayduk, Roman and Hallmann, J{\"o}rg and Rodriguez-Fernandez, Angel and Scholz, Markus and Lu, Wei and B{\"o}senberg, Ulrike and M{\"o}ller, Johannes and Zozulya, Alexey and Jiang, Man and Wegner, Ulrike and Secareanu, Radu-Costin and Palmer, Guido and Emons, Moritz and Lederer, Max and Volkov, Sergey and Lindfors-Vrejoiu, Ionela and Schick, Daniel and Herzog, Marc and Bargheer, Matias and Madsen, Anders}, title = {Femtosecond x-ray diffraction study of multi-THz coherent phonons in SrTiO3}, series = {Applied physics letters}, volume = {120}, journal = {Applied physics letters}, number = {20}, publisher = {AIP Publishing}, address = {Melville}, issn = {0003-6951}, doi = {10.1063/5.0083256}, pages = {5}, year = {2022}, abstract = {We report generation of ultra-broadband longitudinal acoustic coherent phonon wavepackets in SrTiO3 (STO) with frequency components extending throughout the first Brillouin zone.
