Efficient separation of Cinnamomum camphora leaf essential oil and in vitro evaluation of its antifungal activity

Cinnamomum camphora leaf essential oil (CEO) was extracted using enzymatic-ultrasound pretreatment followed by microwave assisted extraction (EUP-MAE) method and simultaneously studied as a mycelial growth inhibitor against five important pathogens which cause potato dry rot. The optimum EUP-MAE conditions with a real CEO yield of 19.23 ± 0.12 mg/g were obtained through Plackett–Burman design and Box–Behnken design as follows: 3 % of enzyme dosage, 2 h of pretreatment time, 5 of pH, 210 W of ultrasound power, 50 °C pretreatment temperature, 16 mL/g of water to solid ratio, 30 min of microwave time and 500 W of microwave power. Compared to the reference methods, EUP-MAE possessed a highest CEO yield than these of ultrasound-microwave assisted extraction (U-MAE) and traditional hydrodistillation (HD). Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS) analysis demonstrated that eucalyptol, camphor, and α-terpineol were the three main constituents of CEO. Results from in vitro antifungal activity assay revealed that the mycelial growths of all the five tested Fusarium solani, Fusarium culmorum, Fusarium trichothecioides, Fusarium sporotrioides, and Fusarium avenaceum were apparently affected by CEO. These findings not only provide a potential paradigm for the separation of plant essential oil, but also guarantee a promising utilization of the CEO for potato protection to control the Fusarium spp.     

On quasi-convex mappings of orderαin the unit ball of a complex Banach space Dedicated to Professor Sheng GONG on the occasion of his 75th birthday

In this paper, a class of biholomorphic mappings named quasi-convex mapping of order a in the unit ball of a complex Banach space is introduced. When the Banach space is confined to Cn, we obtain the relation between this class of mappings and the convex mappings. Furthermore, the growth and covering theorems of this class of mappings are given on the unit ball of a complex Banach space X. Finally, we get the second order terms coefficient estimations of the homogeneous expansion of quasi-convex mapping of order a defined on the polydisc in Cn and on the unit ball in a complex Banach space, respectively.     

Geometric Phase for High-Temperature Master Equation

Geometric phase of mixed state is investigated for three-level system obeying a high-temperature master equation. The results show the Berry phase of mixed phase is strongly dependent on the initial condition. For the different initial angle, the turning region is different. In addition, the decrease of Berry phase is most slow around the coupling strength α=5 with an increasing of evolving time.

Structural,electronic and elastic properties of the Laves phases WFe2, MoFe2, WCr2 and MoCr2 from first-principles

A theoretical analysis of the phase stability, electronic and mechanical properties, and Debye temperatures of the C14-type Laves phases (WFe₂, MoFe₂, WCr₂ and MoCr₂) has been presented from density functional theory. The phase stability follows the order: WFe₂>MoFe₂>WCr₂>MoCr₂. An exchange of electrons takes place between Fe and W/Mo atoms, and there is also electron transfer between Cr and W/Mo. The W–W and Mo–Mo bonds are of the valence character, while the Fe–W/Mo and Cr–W/Mo bonds are of ionic character. The bonding force of A–A is greater than that of A–B in C-14 AB₂ type Laves phases (WFe₂, MoFe₂, WCr₂ and MoCr₂). The ductility of MoCr₂ is higher than others. The hardness of WFe₂ (14.1 GPa) is the highest, and the hardness of MoCr₂ is the lowest. The incompressibility for these laves phases along c-axis is larger than that along a-axis. The Debye temperature (θ_D) of MoFe₂ is 619 K, which is the highest in those phases. These laves phases also have high melting points, which follows the order: WFe₂>MoFe₂>WCr₂>MoCr₂.     

Geometric Phase for a Three-Level Atoms Crosses a Double Cavity with Two Near Resonnat Fields

Pancharatnam phase and Berry phase are investigated and compared for a three-level atom crosses a double cavity with two near resonant fields. The results show that the time-dependent Pancharatnam phase shows a transitive phenomenon during the evolving process of physical system according to both the time and the space, while the Berry phase as a smooth function of space because of the accumulative effect.

Effect of mutual inductance coupling on superconducting flux qubit decoherence

In the Born-Markov approximation and two-level approximation, and using the Bloch-Redfield equation, the decoherence property of superconducting quantum circuit with a flux qubit is investigated. The influence ou decoherence of the mutual inductance coupling between the circuit components is complicated. The mutual inductance coupling between different loops will decrease the decoherence time. However, the mutual inductance coupling of the same loop, in a certain interval, will increase the decoherence time. Therefore, we can control the decoherence time by changing the mutual inductance parameters such as the strength and direction of coupling.
