Pyrrolopyridazine nucleosides. The synthesis of certain 1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridazin-4(5H)-ones

Nucleosides of pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridazin-4(5H)-ones were prepared by the single-phase sodium salt glycosylation of appropriately functionalized pyrrole precursors. The glycosylation of the sodium salt of ethyl 4,5-dichloro-2-formyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate ( 4 ), or its azomethino derivative 7 , with 1-bromo-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-D-ribofuranose in acetonitrile afforded the corresponding substituted pyrrole nucleosides ethyl 4,5-dichloro-2-formyl-1-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate ( 5 ) and ethyl 4,5-dichloro-2-phenylazomethino-1-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylate ( 8 ), respectively. The latter, upon treatment with hydrazine, afforded the annulated product 2,3-dichloro-1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridazin-4(5H)-one ( 6 ), in good yield. The unsubstituted analog 1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyridazin-4(5H)-one ( 9 ), was obtained upon catalytic dehalogenation of 6 . This report represents the first example of the synthesis of nucleosides of pyrrolopyridazines.     

Synthesis of 2′-deoxyribofuranosyl indole nucleosides related to the antibiotics SF-2140 and neosidomycin

The 2′-deoxyribofuranose analog of the naturally occurring antibiotics SF-2140 and neosidomycin were prepared by the direct glycosylation of the sodium salts of the appropriate indole derivatives, with 1-chloro-2- deoxy-3,5-di-O-p-toluoyl-α-D-erythropentofuranose ( 5 ). Thus, treatment of the sodium salt of 4-methoxy-1H- indol-3-ylacetonitrile ( 4a ) with 5 provided the blocked nucleoside, 4-methoxy-1-(2-deoxy-3,5-di-O-p-toluoyl-β- D-erythropentofuranosyl)-1H-indol-3-ylacetonitrile ( 6a ), which was treated with sodium methoxide to yield the SF-2140 analog, 4-methoxy-1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl)-1H-indol-3- ylacetonitrile ( 7a ). The neosidomycin analog ( 8 ) was prepared by treatment of the sodium salt of 1H-indol-3-ylacetonitrile ( 4b ) with 5 to obtain the blocked intermediate 1-(2-deoxy-3,5-di-O-p-toluoyl-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl) ?1H-indol-3-ylace-tonitrile ( 6b ) followed by sodium methoxide treatment to give 1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl)-1H- indol-3-ylacetonitrile ( 7b ) and finally conversion of the nitrile function of 7b to provide 1-(2-deoxy-β-D- erythropentofuranosyl)-1H-indol-3-ylacetamide ( 8 ). In a similar manner, indole ( 9a ) and several other substituted indoles including 1H-indole-4-carbonitrile ( 9b ), 4-nitro-1H-indole ( 9c ), 4-chloro-1H-indole-2-carboxamide ( 9d ) and 4-chloro-1H-indole-2-carbonitrile ( 9e ) were each glycosylated and deprotected to provide 1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl)-1H-indole ( 11a ), 1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl)-1H-indole-4- carbonitrile ( 11b ), 4-nitro-1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl)-1H-indole ( 11c ), 4-chloro-1-(2-deoxy-β-D- erythropentofuranosyl)-1H-indole-2-carboxamide ( 11d ) and 4-chloro-1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl)- 1H-indole-2-carbonitrile ( 11e ), respectively. The 2′-deoxyadenosine analog in the indole ring system was prepared for the first time by reduction of the nitro group of 11c using palladium on carbon thus providing 4-amino-1-(2-deoxy-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl)- 1H-indole ( 16 , 1,3,7-trideaza-2′-deoxyadenosine).

Optical microstrip patch antennas design and analysis

This paper has presented transparent conductor oxide materials (TCOMs) based microstrip patch antennas with glass substrate and copper ground plane, which have been deeply analyzed in the visible spectrum region in comparison with the practical patch antenna model of indium tin oxide patch with glass substrate and different TCOMs based ground plane. As well as the study have investigated the effect of transparent oxide materials on patch antenna design instead of perfect conductor materials such as copper that has low cost and weight. The tradeoff between optical transparency and electrical conductivity will be evaluated for a range of visible regions. Microstrip transmission line feed method is used to predict the skin effects on a patch antenna and their impact on antenna efficiency, resonance frequency and optical transmission are also described. This study have discussed assessment of these tradeoffs and effect of TCOMs parameters on antenna design.     

The discrete linear restricted Chebyshev approximation

A numerically stable simplex algorithm for calculating the restricted Chebyshev solution of overdetermined systems of linear equations is described. In this algorithm minimum computer storage is required and no conditions are imposed on the coefficient matrix or on the right hand side of the system of equations. Also a new way of implementing a triangular decomposition method to the basis matrix is used. The ordinary Chebyshev solution, the one-sided Chebyshev solutions and the Chebyshev approximation by non-negative functions are obtained as special cases in this algorithm. Numerical results are given.     

Some convergence results for asynchronous algorithms

Resumé Nous présentons dans cet article des résultats de convergence des algorithmes asynchrones basés essentiellement sur la notion classique de contraction.Nous généralisons, en particulier, tous les résultats de convergence de ces algorithmes qui font l'hypothèse de contraction en norme vectorielle qui récemment a été très souvant utilisée.Par ailleurs, l'hypothèse de contraction en norme vectorielle peut se trouver difficile, voire impossible à vérifier pour certains problèmes qui peuvent être cependant abordés dans le cadre de la contraction classique que nous adoptons.

High-Efficiency Laser-Power Transmission With All Optical Amplification for High-Transmission-Capacity Submarine Cables

We present new trends in the performance evaluation of submarine fiber cable system with different ultrahigh multiplexing and propagation techniques over a wide range of the affecting parameters. Our model takes into account the ultimate optical transmission of huge submarine cables with 14,400 channels under different depth conditions. We employ Raman and erbium-doped fiber amplifiers in our study. We investigate the double impact of both temperature and pressure through the defined depth penalty. We also study the soliton transmission technique using two multiplexing methods considered in the design of ultra-wide wavelength division multiplexing (UW-WDM) with 14,400 optical channels and ultra-wide space division multiplexing (UW-SDM) with 440 fiber links. Based on experimental data, both the deep ocean water temperature and pressure are obtained as functions of the water depth.     

Performance evaluation of a WDM/OCDM based hybrid optical switch utilizing efficient resource allocation

A hybrid optical switch （HOS） with physical layer of wavelength division multiplexing and optical code division multiplexing （WDM/OCDM） scheme is proposed. An additional feature to the HOS than optical cross connect （OXC） is that the controller can process requests for both circuit establishment and burst scheduling. In our study, the measurement criteria of HOS are the blocking probability, probability of error, and probability of outage. To simplify the analysis, no distinction is made between a circuit in progress and a burst in progress. Moreover, a minimum fit （MinF） resource allocation strategy is applied in order to increase the bandwidth efficiency and control the multiplexing interference of the OCDM. A 2D Markov model for the HOS is presented using the MinF strategy. Numerical results reveal that the code parameters and the resource allocation strategy greatly affect the performance. Certain periority can be achieved by assigning shorter codes to high periority users and longer codes to low periority users. Also, the probability of error and outage are reduced bv aonling the MinF strategy.     

Best candidate materials for fast speed response and high transmission performance efficiency of acousto optic modulators

An acousto-optic modulator (AOM), also called a Bragg cell, uses the acousto-optic effect to diffract and shift the frequency of light using sound waves (usually at radio frequency). They are used in lasers for quality switching, telecommunications for signal modulation, and in spectroscopy for frequency control. This paper has presented the best candidate selected acousto optic materials based AOM for upgrading speed response and transmission performance characteristics. These materials are common materials for acousto-optic devices such as silica glass (SiO₂), tellurium dioxide TeO₂), gallium phosphide, and gallium arsenide. As well as we have deeply investigated the important transmission characteristics of acousto optic modulators such as transmission performance efficiency, transmission bit rate, diffraction angle and efficiency, transient speed response, signal transmission quality, bit error rate and modulation bandwidth under wide range of the affecting parameters for different selected acousto optic materials to be the major of interest.
