In-situ cation exchange enhances room temperature phosphorescence of a family of metal-organic frameworks

The rational designability and chemical tunability of metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)are enabling tributes to efficaciously enhance their room temperature phosphorescence(RTP)performance.A family of stable anionic MOFs,[Zn₂(4,5-ImDC)₂]M₂(NKU-132,M=(CH₃)₂NH₂or(CH₂CH₃)₂NH₂),featuring significant RTP have been synthesized.By rational cation selection and in-situ replacement from dimethylammonium to diethylammonium,the phosphorescence lifetime is increased from 30.88 to126.3 ms,along with less sensitivity to air.This work provides an anti-quenching and lifetime tuning example for RTP-MOFmaterials via facile host-guest chemistry.

Diffusion Model of a Non-Integer Order PIγ Controller with TCP/UDP Streams

In this article, a way to employ the diffusion approximation to model interplay between TCP and UDP flows is presented. In order to control traffic congestion, an environment of IP routers applying AQM (Active Queue Management) algorithms has been introduced. Furthermore, the impact of the fractional controller PIγ and its parameters on the transport protocols is investigated. The controller has been elaborated in accordance with the control theory. The TCP and UDP flows are transmitted simultaneously and are mutually independent. Only the TCP is controlled by the AQM algorithm. Our diffusion model allows a single TCP or UDP flow to start or end at any time, which distinguishes it from those previously described in the literature.
