Construction of Photo-Responsive Pd2L4-Type Nanocages based on Feringa's Second-Generation Motor and Its Guest Binding Ability for C60

We present the construction of a M₂L₄-type metal-organic nanocage featuring four endohedral Feringa's motor motifs and its adaptive encapsulation towards a C₆₀ guest molecule. The structure of the cage, though complicated on the ¹H NMR spectrum due to the adoption of mixed ligands, was unambiguously characterized with a combination of ESI-MS, 2D DOSY, ¹³C NMR and particularly the SAXS technique. The molecular motor within the cage demonstrated similar photophysical properties to the uncoordinated one, indicating the motor's function was not compromised when it was anchored in such a confined nanospace. Furthermore, the nanocage showed good guest encapsulation ability towards C₆₀, and a guest induced-fit behavior of the cage was revealed based on the extensive SAXS analysis and molecular dynamics simulation. The adaptive motorized nanocage reported here represents one of the very few examples of integrating individual motors into a discrete nanoconfined system and offers prospects to achieve its non-equilibrium functions.     

The G t /GI/s t +GI many-server fluid queue

This paper introduces a deterministic fluid model that approximates the many-server G _t /GI/s _t +GI queueing model, and determines the time-dependent performance functions. The fluid model has time-varying arrival rate and service capacity, abandonment from queue, and non-exponential service and patience distributions. Two key assumptions are that: (i)?the system alternates between overloaded and underloaded intervals, and (ii)?the functions specifying the fluid model are suitably smooth. An algorithm is developed to calculate all performance functions. It involves the iterative solution of a fixed-point equation for the time-varying rate that fluid enters service and the solution of an ordinary differential equation for the time-varying head-of-line waiting time, during each overloaded interval. Simulations are conducted to confirm that the algorithm and the approximation are effective.

Efficient transmission based on RGB LED lamp for indoor visible light communication

We investigate the multilevel modulation for red-green-blue light emitting diode (RGB LED). A simple approach for extracting soft values from the modulation is proposed. The mapping way from bits to the modulated symbols for the multilevel modulation is also investigated. The modified modulation is obtained through the brute force. Based on the Monte Carlo simulations, the proposed approach and modified modulation are confirmed and better bit error rate (BER) performances are obtained.

He 离子注入引起的高纯钨硬化

完成了不同注量或温度下100 keV 的He 离子注入高纯钨的实验,并利用纳米压痕技术测量了材料的微观力学性能。所有注入样品的纳米硬度值都高于未注入样品的纳米硬度值。对于室温注入样品,随着注量的增加,样品抗弹性变形能力下降;当注量不高于5x1017 ions/cm2 时,钨的纳米硬度峰值随着注量的增加而增加;注量为1x1018 ions/cm2 的钨样品的纳米硬度峰值反而降低。高温注入样品的抗弹性变形能力优于室温注入样品的抗弹性变形能力;随着注入温度的增加,样品的平均纳米硬度值和弹性模量略有下降。分析讨论了He 注入钨硬化和抗弹性形变能力降低的可能原因。Tungsten has been selected as divertor materials in fusion reactors because of its high thermal conductivity,high melting point, low expansion coefficient and high threshold energy for sputtering etc. The paper presents the hardening behaviour of high pure tungsten by 100 keV He+ with different fluences from 5x1016 ions/cm2 to 1x1018ions/cm2 at room temperature, and with fluence of 1x1018 ions/cm2 at higher temperatures (400, 600 and 800 °C). The microscopic mechanical properties of these samples were investigated by nano-indentation technology. The results show that all of the implanted samples harden obviously. The reason for hardening may be that defects of interstitial dislocation loops or dense helium bubbles etc induced by helium implantation obstacle the movement of dislocation. The peak nanohardness of the samples increased with the fluences increasing when the fluence is not more than 5x1017 ions/cm2, while the nano-hardness value of the implanted sample with the fluence of 1x1018 ions/cm2 decreases and the nano-hardness changes little in the region of 50 nm to 200 nm from surface. For all the implanted samples with 1x1018 ions/cm2 at higher temperatures, their nano-hardness values are similar, but show a trend of decrease with increasing temperature.The reason may be the decrease of the defects’ density during implantation at higher temperatures. In addition, the capability of resisting deformation for the implanted tungsten reduces with increasing fluence and increases a little at higher temperatures.     

Novel molecularly imprinted polymers based on multiwalled carbon nanotubes with bifunctional monomers for solid-phase extraction of rhein from the root of kiwi fruit

A novel molecularly imprinted polymers based on multiwalled carbon nanotubes synthesized by precipitate polymerization was applied as a selective sorbent for separation and determination of rhein (4,5-dihydroxyanthraquinone-2-carboxylic acid) from the root of kiwi fruit samples coupled with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The molecularly imprinted polymers were prepared with methacrylic acid and 4-vinylpyridine as bifunctional monomers. The chemical structure of the molecularly imprinted polymers was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. The equilibrium rebinding experiment and competitive adsorption experiment showed that these imprinted polymers exhibited good adsorption ability toward rhein. The Langmuir adsorption equilibrium constant, K(m) , and theoretical maximum adsorption capacity, Q(m) , were estimated to be 0.43 and 6.77 mg g(-1) , respectively. Compared with molecularly imprinted polymers prepared with methacrylic acid or 4-vinylpyridine solely, the molecularly imprinted polymers synthesized with bifunctional monomers showed enhanced molecular imprinting effect and higher adsorption capacity for the template rhein. The performances of the molecularly imprinted polymers utilized as solid phase extraction sorbent were investigated in detail. The molecularly imprinted polymers prepared by the method proposed in this work could successfully apply to extraction and determination of rhein from the root of kiwi fruit samples coupled with HPLC.     

Radiolabeled γ-AApeptides: a new class of tracers for positron emission tomography

A γ-AApeptide-based tracer for positron emission tomography imaging of integrin α(v)β(3) is reported. Despite its shorter sequence and linear nature, this tracer had comparable integrin α(v)β(3) binding affinity to the cyclic arginine-glycine-aspartic acid peptide but significantly higher resistance to enzymatic degradation and better stability.

竖向预应力锚索抗滑桩是一种锚索从桩顶竖向穿过抗滑桩,直接嵌入基岩以下的新型抗滑桩。本文以某滑坡治理工程为例,采用数值模拟方法,研究竖向预应力锚索抗滑桩的内力,从桩长、锚固力、偏心距几个方面对竖向预应力锚索抗滑桩的桩身结构进行优化研究。模拟研究结果表明,其他条件不变时,竖向预应力锚索抗滑桩随着桩长的减小,桩身弯矩最大值变化不大,剪力最大值呈增大趋势; 随锚固力增加,桩身内力最大值均呈先减小后增大的趋势,表明选取合适的锚固力对桩身内力影响很大; 随着锚索偏心距的增大,桩身内力最大值均逐渐减小。优化结果表明,竖向预应力锚索抗滑桩锚固段比悬臂桩减少16.7%,桩身剪力最大值减少31.7%,桩身弯矩最大值减少41.1%。竖向预应力锚索抗滑桩是一种有应用前景的抗滑桩。     

Complex rotundity of Orlicz sequence spaces equipped with the p-Amemiya norm

In this paper, two equivalent definitions of complex strongly extreme points in general complex Banach spaces are shown. It is proved that for any Orlicz sequence space equipped with the p-Amemiya norm (1?p<∞, p is odd), complex strongly extreme points of the unit ball coincide with complex extreme points of the unit ball. Moreover, criteria for them in Orlicz sequence spaces equipped with the p-Amemiya norm are given. Criteria for complex mid-point locally uniform rotundity and complex rotundity of Orlicz sequence spaces equipped with the p-Amemiya norm are also deduced.
