Attenuation properties of EM wave by magnetized nonuniform plasma slab coated on perfect conductor plane

The total amplitude reflection coefficient of EM wave in a nonuniform plasma slab coated on perfect conductor plane is newly derived by using the scattering matrix method (SMM), and the attenuation is calculated. Three types of plasma electron density profile, that is the hyperbolic, sinusoidal, and linear profiles, are used. The external magnetic field and plasma parameters such as the maximum electron density and collision frequencies are discussed to calculate the attenuation of EM wave. The calculation results show that the plasma electron density profile and maximum electron density exert a large effect to the attenuation of EM wave and the attenuation under the uniform external magnetic field is taken place by the electron cyclotron resonance absorption, the up hybrid resonance absorption and geometric resonances absorption.     

基于双极性混沌序列的托普利兹块状感知矩阵

感知矩阵的构造是压缩感知从理论走向工程应用的关键技术之一.由于托普利兹感知矩阵能够支持快速算法且与离散卷积运算相对应,因此具有重要的研究意义.然而常用的随机托普利兹感知矩阵因其元素的不确定性,使得它在实际应用中受到了诸多约束,例如内存消耗较高和不易于硬件加载.基于此,本文结合双极性混沌序列的内在确定性和托普利兹矩阵的优点,提出了基于双极性混沌序列的托普利兹块状感知矩阵.具体地,首先介绍了双极性混沌序列的产生并分析了它的统计特性.其次,构造了双极性托普利兹块状混沌感知矩阵,从相关性方面证明了新建的感知矩阵具有近乎最优的理论保证,并同时证实了它满足约束等距条件.最后,研究了该感知矩阵针对一维信号和图像的压缩测量效果,并与典型感知矩阵进行了对比.结果表明,提出的感知矩阵对这些测试信号具有更好的测量效果,而且它在内存开销、计算复杂度和硬件实现等方面均具有明显的优势.特别地,该感知矩阵非常适用于多输入-单输出线性时不变系统的压缩感知测量问题.     

“On water” ultrasound-assisted one pot efficient synthesis of functionalized 2-oxo-benzo[1,4]oxazines: First application to the synthesis of anticancer indole alkaloid,Cephalandole A

For the first time, an efficient, simple, synthetic green protocol for the one-pot synthesis of functionalized 2-oxo-benzo[1,4]oxazines 24–29 in water under ultrasound irradiation is presented. As compared to conventional methods, the present protocol avoids traditional chromatography and purification steps and furnished the target molecules in excellent yields (upto 98%) with no side products. The methodology was also demonstrated on gram scale synthesis. Moreover, functionalized 2-oxo-quinoxaline analogues 31–33, another class of bio-active heterocyclic scaffolds, were also prepared using this method. For the first time, this protocol was successfully applied in the synthesis of the anticancer indole alkaloid, Cephalandole A 35.

Coprecipitation‐assisted coacervative extraction coupled to high‐performance liquid chromatography: An approach for determining organophosphorus pesticides in water samples

An analytical methodology based on coprecipitation‐assisted coacervative extraction coupled to HPLC‐UV was developed for determination of five organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs), including fenitrothion, guthion, parathion, methidathion, and chlorpyrifos, in water samples. It involves a green technique leading to an efficient and simple analytical methodology suitable for high‐throughput analysis. Relevant physicochemical variables were studied and optimized on the analytical response of each OPP. Under optimized conditions, the resulting methodology was as follows: an aliquot of 9 mL of water sample was placed into a centrifuge tube and 0.5 mL sodium citrate 0.1 M, pH 4; 0.08 mL Al₂(SO₄)₃ 0.1 M; and 0.7 mL SDS 0.1 M were added and homogenized. After centrifugation the supernatant was discarded. A 700 μL aliquot of the coacervate‐rich phase obtained was dissolved with 300 μL of methanol and 20 μL of the resulting solution was analyzed by HPLC‐UV. The resulting LODs ranged within 0.7–2.5 ng/mL and the achieved RSD and recovery values were <8% (n = 3) and >81%, respectively. The proposed analytical methodology was successfully applied for the analysis of five OPPs in water samples for human consumption of different locations of Mendoza.     

An adsorption study of Sr2+ from saline sources by coconut shell charcoal

The adsorption potential of charcoal for the removal of heavy metal ions is well documented in the literature. However, its exploration for uptake of technologically valuable metal ions such as Sr²⁺ is poorly known. In this work, the batch adsorption study of Sr²⁺ ion from aqueous solution as well as from saline matrix (>3% of NaCl) onto charcoal has been carried out. The experiments were conducted with two charcoals, i.e., our prepared charcoal (coconut shell charcoal) and commercial charcoal. Strontium adsorption has been investigated as a function of its initial concentration, contact time, and varied mass of adsorbent. Equilibrium adsorption data were evaluated for Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. The adsorption capacities (mg/g) of Sr²⁺ present in the salt matrix onto coconut shell charcoal and commercial charcoal was found to be 18.4 and 22.2, respectively. Uptake of Sr²⁺ from subsoil brine onto coconut shell charcoal has been successfully demonstrated in this work.
