“…8). As expected, 4,7,9 Blue and Great Tits used the 'far' feeder less than the 'near' feeder (Table 1). This trend was stronger for Great Tits (χ 2 1 = 9.142, P = 0.002), consistent with their social dominance, 10 but not with previous studies.…”

“…This trend was stronger for Great Tits (χ 2 1 = 9.142, P = 0.002), consistent with their social dominance, 10 but not with previous studies. 7,11 The proportion of visits by Blue Tits that were to the 'far' feeder varied between observation periods (Table 1; χ 2 3 = 18.766, P < 0.001, but see below). To construct food items of different calorific value, but of similar appearance, we filled 15-mm lengths of cylindrical paper straws (diameter 5 mm) with wax and fat.…”

“…Previous studies have demonstrated such a trade-off by altering food density, 5,6 foraging costs (the number of hops on a perch required to dispense a peanut) 4 and food palatability. 7 In our study we examined a fourth factor: the calorific value of individual food items.…”

“…The above results arouse our interest in the detection of the properties of GNRs, which can spontaneously fill the SWCNTs to deliver substances into the nanoscale confining space. In this simulation, we chemically attach four cinnamamide molecules, an important substance in biology and medicine, − to the GNR with a length of 246 Å. Just as shown in Figure , the cinnamamide-modified GNR gradually gets into the CNT and forms the helical configuration.…”

Helical Encapsulation of Graphene Nanoribbon into Carbon Nanotube

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to study interaction between the graphene nanoribbon (GNR) and single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT). The GNR enters the SWCNT spontaneously to display a helical configuration which is quite similar to the chloroplast in the spirogyra cell. This unique phenomenon results from the combined action of the van der Waals potential well and the π-π stacking interaction. The size of SWCNT and GNR should satisfy some certain conditions in the helical encapsulation process. A DNA-like double helix would be formed inside the SWCNT with the encapsulation of two GNRs. A water cluster enclosed in the SWCNT has great effect on the formation of the GNR helix in the tube. Furthermore, we also studied the possibility that the spontaneous encapsulation of GNR is used for substance delivery. The expected outcome of these properties is to provide novel strategies to design nanoscale carriers and reaction devices.

“…[ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. In the agrochemical field, their avian repellent, fungicidal and herbicidal activities have also attracted the attention of many researchers [ 8 , 9 ], and several excellent cinnamide fungicides, for example dimethomorph ( 1 ) [ 10 ], fluormorph ( 2 ) [ 11 ] and pyrimorph ( 3 ) [ 12 , 13 ], have been successfully developed. Pyrimorph, containing a morpholine ring and a pyridine ring, is a novel fungicide developed by our lab that exhibited excellent activity against oomycetes [ 14 , 15 ].…”

Twenty novel cinnamamide derivatives were designed and synthesized using as lead compound pyrimorph, whose morpholine moiety was replaced by β-phenylethylamine. All the compounds were characterized by their spectroscopic data. The fungicidal and insecticidal activities were also evaluated. The preliminary results showed that all the title compounds had certain fungicidal activities against seven plant pathogens at a concentration of 50 μg/mL, and compounds 11a and 11l showed inhibition ratios of up to 90% against R. solani. Most of the title compounds exhibited moderate nematicidal activities. In general, the morpholine ring may be replaced by other amines and a chlorine atom in the pyridine ring is helpful to fungicidal activity.
