Matroid Shellability, β-Systems,and Affine Hyperplane Arrangements

The broken-circuit complex is fundamental to the shellability and homology of matroids, geometric lattices, and linear hyperplane arrangements. This paper introduces and studies the -system of a matroid, nbc(M), whose cardinality is Crapo's -invariant. In studying the shellability and homology of base-pointed matroids, geometric semilattices, and afflne hyperplane arrangements, it is found that the -system acts as the afflne counterpart to the broken-circuit complex. In particular, it is shown that the -system indexes the homology facets for the lexicographic shelling of the reduced broken-circuit complex , and the basic cycles are explicitly constructed. Similarly, an EL-shelling for the geometric semilattice associated with M is produced,_and it is shown that the -system labels its decreasing chains.Basic cycles can be carried over from The intersection poset of any (real or complex) afflnehyperplane arrangement is a geometric semilattice. Thus the construction yields a set of basic cycles, indexed by nbc(M), for the union of such an arrangement.     

Difluorocarbene-Induced Ring-Opening Difluoromethylation-Halogenation of Cyclic (Thio)Ethers with TMSCF2X (X=Br,Cl)**

The ring-opening difluoromethylation-halogenation of cyclic (thio)ethers is reported through a simple strategy relying on carbon-chalcogen bond activation with difluorocarbene. The reaction proceeds through in situ protonation of the previously little-known difluoromethylene oxonium or sulfonium ylide intermediate followed by ring-opening with halide ion to afford halogenated acyclic difluoromethyl (thio)ethers that can then be employed for further elaboration. TMSCF₂X (X=Br, Cl) are unique reagents to achieve this synthetic purpose, which serve as both the difluorocarbene source and the halide ion source.     

用于考察外源添加剂对卷烟常规烟气指标影响的样品制备因子筛选

为筛选用于考察外源添加剂对卷烟常规烟气指标影响的样品制备关键控制因子,采用L_8(2~7)正交试验设计进行香兰素及乙基麦芽酚的添加实验.卷烟常规烟气指标变化数值通过极差分析、方差分析,结果显示:参比卷烟种类是影响卷烟烟气总粒相物、焦油、水分的高度显著因子,就试验采用的1R5F和3R4F参比卷烟而言,添加剂在高焦油3R4F卷烟中对常规烟气指标的影响比其在低焦油1R5F卷烟中的影响大;添加剂种类与浓度的交互作用不仅对卷烟烟气总粒相物有高度显著影响,而且对总粒相物中的水分也有显著影响;因此,规范样品制备,可减少误差、保证后续外源添加剂加入对卷烟常规烟气指标影响评价结果和推断的可靠性及科学性.     

Simultaneous determination of boscalid and fludioxonil in grape and soil under field conditions by gas chromatography/tandem triple quadrupole mass spectrometry

A gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry method was developed and validated to simultaneously determine boscalid and fludioxonil in grape and soil samples. These samples were extracted with 10 mL of acetonitrile and purified using a mixed primary secondary amine/octadecylsilane sorbent. The method showed good linearity (R² > 0.99) in the calibration range 0.005–2 μg/mL for both pesticides. The limits of detection and quantification for the two analytes in grape and soil were 0.006 and 0.02 mg/kg, respectively. Fungicide recoveries in grape and soil were 81.18–92.11% for boscalid and 82.73–97.67% for fludioxonil with relative standard deviations of 1.31–10.31%. The established method was successfully applied to the residual analysis of boscalid and fludioxonil in real grape and soil samples. The terminal residue concentrations of boscalid and fludioxonil in grape samples collected from Anhui and Guizhou were <5 mg/kg (the maximum residue limit set by China) 7 days after the last application and 1 mg/kg (the maximum residue limit set by USA) 14 days after the last application. These results could provide guidance for the proper and safe use of boscalid and fludioxonil in grape and help the Chinese government to establish an MRL for fludioxonil in grape.     

An improved algorithm for the shallow water equations model reduction: Dynamic Mode Decomposition vs POD

We propose an improved framework for dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) of 2‐D flows for problems originating from meteorology when a large time step acts like a filter in obtaining the significant Koopman modes, therefore, the classic DMD method is not effective. This study is motivated by the need to further clarify the connection between Koopman modes and proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) dynamic modes. We apply DMD and POD to derive reduced order models (ROM) of the shallow water equations. Key innovations for the DMD‐based ROM introduced in this paper are the use of the Moore–Penrose pseudoinverse in the DMD computation that produced an accurate result and a novel selection method for the DMD modes and associated amplitudes and Ritz values. A quantitative comparison of the spatial modes computed from the two decompositions is performed, and a rigorous error analysis for the ROM models obtained is presented.

Double Orthogonal Click Reactions for the Development of Antimicrobial Peptide Nanotubes

A new class of amphipathic cyclic peptides, which assemble in bacteria membranes to form polymeric supramolecular nanotubes giving them antimicrobial properties, is described. The method is based on the use of two orthogonal clickable transformations to incorporate different hydrophobic or hydrophilic moieties in a simple, regioselective, and divergent manner. The resulting cationic amphipathic cyclic peptides described in this article exhibit strong antimicrobial properties with a broad therapeutic window. Our studies suggest that the active form is the nanotube resulted from the parallel stacking of the cyclic peptide precursors. Several techniques, CD, FTIR, fluorescence, and STEM, among others, confirm the nanotube formation.

Electrical properties of interdigitated partially bent like shaped liquid crystalline compound

This article represents the electrical studies of an interdigitated highly skewed N(4-n-pentyloxybenzylidene) 4-n-alkylaniline (5O.16) compound. Interestingly the compound is partially bent like and unsymmetrical in alkyl chain length. Dielectric and impedance spectroscopy studies indicate the coupling between the liquid crystal and the electrical field. Studies were carried out as a function of temperature as well as frequency. Semicircular nature of the Cole–Cole plots indicates the reorientation of the molecule with the applied field. Using the experimental data and the theoretically fitted results the effective equivalent model circuit was designed. Which used to explain the behavior of the compound under the external electric effect and the influence of the electrodes with different variable represent the resistor circuit. However, the effect of the conductivity of temperature and frequency are also reported.
