Phase diagram of two-color QCD matter at finite baryon and axial isospin densities

We study the two-color QCD matter with two fundamental quark flavors using the chiral perturbation theory and the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio(NJL)model.The effective Lagrangian is derived in terms of mesons and baryons,i.e.diquarks.The low lying excitations lie in the extended SU(4)flavor symmetry space.We compute the leading order terms of the Lagrangian as a function of the baryon and axial isospin densities.After numerically solving the gap equations in the two-color NJL model,the phase diagram is obtained in the μ−ν5 plane.     

Experimental and Numerical Investigation on Effects of the Steam Ingestion on the Aerodynamic Stability of an Axial Compressor

In order to investigate the influence of steam ingestion on the aerodynamic stability of a two-stage low-speed axial-flow compressor, multiphase flow numerical simulation and experiment were carried out. The total pressure ratio and stall margin of the compressor was decreased under steam ingestion. When the compressor worked at 40% and 53% of the nominal speed, the stall margin decreased, respectively, by 1.5% and 6.3%. The ingested steam reduced the inlet Mach number and increased the thickness of the boundary layer on the suction surface of the blade. The low-speed region around the trailing edge of the blade was increased, and the flow separation region of the boundary layer on the suction surface of the blade was expanded; thus, the compressor was more likely to enter the stall state. The higher the rotational speed, the more significant the negative influence of steam ingestion on the compressor stall margin. The entropy and temperature of air were increased by steam. The heat transfer between steam and air was continuous in compressor passages. The entropy of the air in the later stage was higher than that in the first stage; consequently, the flow loss in the second stage was more serious. Under the combined action of steam ingestion and counter-rotating bulk swirl distortion, the compressor stability margin loss was more obvious. When the rotor speed was 40% and 53% of the nominal speed, the stall margin decreased by 6.3% and 12.64%, respectively.     

Self-interstitial solute interaction in aluminium base alloys: Problems of data interpretation

The interpretation of electrical resistivity measurement results of Al base alloys is critically discussed. Correct numerical data evaluation with respect to the atomistic properties r_c/r_p, r_t and Pf^t/Pf is yet impossible for Al and its alloys because of the overlapping of Ic and Id recovery for those electron irradiations for which damage rate measurements exist and because of the unexplained scatter of initial damage rate data.     

Helium blistering of niobium: Large swelling measurements supporting the gas pressure model

Crystal potentials are usually obtained through a combination of theoretical calculation and the fitting of crystal properties. Because of thermal expansion of the crystal, the equilibrium condition is not satisfied at all temperatures unless the crystal potential is made temperature-dependent. A quasiharmonic potential that satisfies the equilibrium condition at all temperatures is derived from KC1 and used to calculate temperature-dependent defect energies (at constant volume). Other thermodynamic defect parameters are then derived by combining these results with the experimental Gibbs energies. The temperature-dependence of these parameters is displayed.

Stereochemical assignments of aldol products of 2‐arylimino‐3‐aryl‐thiazolidine‐4‐ones by 1H NMR

The aldol reactions of 2‐arylimino‐3‐aryl‐thiazolidine‐4‐ones with benzaldehyde carried out at ?78 °C were found to produce sec‐carbinols. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding within the aldol products forming a six‐membered ring enabled the assignment of stereochemistries of the major and minor diastereomers via analysis of the syn and anti ³J_H,H ¹H NMR coupling constants.

Catalytic Kinetic Resolution of Biaryl Compounds

Biaryl compounds with axial chirality are very common in synthetic chemistry, especially in catalysis. Axially chiral biaryls are important due to their biological activities and extensive applications in asymmetric catalysis. Thus the development of efficient enantioselective methods for their synthesis has attracted considerable attention. This Minireview discusses the progress made in catalytic kinetic resolution of biaryl compounds and chronicles significant advances made recently in catalytic kinetic resolution of biaryl scaffolds.     

GGA-based analysis of the metformin adsorption on BN nanotubes

Density functional theory (DFT) studies are done to investigate structural and electronic properties of (5,5) chirality single walls boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) in the armchair model interacting with metformin (MF) on the surface and ends. Our calculations consider the exchange-correlation energies with the Hamprecht–Cohen–Tozer–Handy functional within the generalized gradient approximation (HCTH-GGA) and the double polarized DNP base function. The geometry optimization follows the minimum energy criterion for all six geometries we have considered. Results show that the MF is adsorbed through the groups NH₂–NH at one end of the nanotube. The system polarity is increased which indicates the possible dispersion and solubility. Moreover the interaction between these species induces an increase in the chemical reactivity of the order of 0.42 eV. Meanwhile the solvation in water keeps the semiconductor characteristics of both nanotube and MF. The work function of the BNNT-MF is drastically reduced respect to the pristine system when the BN nanotube is doped at its surface and ends with carbon. This means that the functionalized BN nanotube facilitates conditions to improve field emission.     

不同取代基铁咔咯配合物对苯乙烯的催化氧化

合成了4种具有不同推-拉电子强度取代基的铁咔咯配合物,并通过紫外,核磁,质谱等手段对化合物进行了表征。考察了在乙腈溶液中,以叔丁基过氧化氢(TBHP),亚碘酰苯(PhIO),双氧水(H₂O₂)为氧源时,4种不同取代基铁咔咯配合物对于苯乙烯的催化氧化效果,并考察了咪唑作为轴向配体时对反应的影响。结果表明,产物的产率与氧源,催化剂和轴向配体均有关。以TBHP为氧源时,苯甲醛为主要产物;以PhIO作为氧源时,主要产物则为环氧苯乙烷;而当氧源为H₂O₂时,4种铁咔咯均不能有效地催化苯乙烯氧化。使用不同的氧源时,4种铁咔咯展现不一样的催化活性顺序,其催化过程可能涉及自由基和高价态的Fe(Ⅴ)-oxo咔咯。铁咔咯能与咪唑形成1:2的配合物,在催化体系中加入咪唑后,在不同的氧源条件下,咪唑对于反应产物的分布影响不同。
