  • Publication number: 20160017284
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a cyprinid herpesvirus II-sensitive brain tissue cell line of Carassius auratus gibelio and establishing method and use thereof. The cell line is deposited in China Center for Type Culture Collection under an accession number of CCTCC No: C2013179. The brain tissue cell line of Carassius auratus gibelio is in good growth state and sensitive to CyHV-2 that is presently hardly cultured with ordinary fish cell lines. After six passages of CyHV-2 in GiCB cells, viral nucleic acid can still be detected and a cytopathic effect is stable. When ultrathin microscopic sections are prepared from cells having the cytopathic effect, considerable mature CyHV-2 virions and their replication process can be observed in GiCB cells. The construction method of the brain tissue cell line of Carassius auratus gibelio of the present invention has high repeatability, scientific and reasonable conditions.

  • Publication number: 20160016802
    Abstract: Granules of graphene oxide may be produced from a dispersion of nanoscale graphene oxide sheets by a spray drying method. Such granules have a three-dimensional corrugated morphology. The complexity of the corrugations, and the s size distribution of the granules can be varied through selection of the spray-drying equipment used, and variation of the composition of the dispersion and the spray-drying parameters. Structural modifiers may be included in the graphene oxide dispersion to control the ultimate morphology of the granules. The granules of graphene oxide may be thermally reduced at a moderate temperature of 220° C. to increase the granules' electrical conductivity. The reduced granules may be used to fabricate electrodes for supercapacitors. The power and energy density of such an electrode material is comparable to those of conventional/commercial activated carbon-based electrodes.
