The emerging applications of pillararene architectures in supramolecular catalysis

Over the last decade, numerous research efforts have been devoted to pillar[n]arenes since their debut.The popularity of pillararenes is a reflection of current research trend in supramolecular and macrocyclic chemistry in general. Among the vast applications(such as chemosensors, drug delivery, transmembrance channels, and separation) of pillararenes, their utilization in catalysis is a relatively less explored area.However, soaring attention has been paid by researchers in recent years and thi...     

Dynamic and buckling analysis of polymer hybrid composite beam with variable thickness

This work deals with a study of the dynamic and buckling analysis of polymer hybrid composite(PHC) beam. The beam has variable thickness and is reinforced by carbon nanotubes(CNTs) and nanoclay(NC) simultaneously. The governing equations are derived based on the first shear deformation theory(FSDT). A three-phase HalpinTsai approach is used to predict the mechanical properties of the PHC. We focus our attention on the effect of the simultaneous addition of NC and CNT on the vibration and buckling analysis of the PHC beam with variable thickness. Also a comparison study is done on the sensation of three impressive parameters including CNT, NC weight fractions, and the shape factor of fillers on the mechanical properties of PHC beams,as well as fundamental frequencies of free vibrations and critical buckling load. The results show that the increase of shape factor value, NC, and CNT weight fractions leads to considerable reinforcement in mechanical properties as well as increase of the dimensionless fundamental frequency and buckling load. The variation of CNT weight fraction on elastic modulus is more sensitive rather than shear modulus but the effect of NC weight fraction on elastic and shear moduli is fairly the same. The shape factor values more than the medium level do not affect the mechanical properties.     

The spatial-temporal evolution of coherent structures in log law region of turbulent boundary layer

The spatial-temporal evolution of coherent structures(CS) is significant for turbulence control and drag reduction. Among the CS, low and high speed streak structures show typical burst phenomena. The analysis was based on a time series of three-dimensional and three-component(3D-3C) velocity fields of the flat plate turbulent boundary layer(TBL) measured by a Tomographic and Time-resolved PIV(Tomo TRPIV) system. Using multi-resolution wavelet transform and conditional sampling method, we extracted the intrinsic topologies and found that the streak structures appear in bar-like patterns. Furthermore, we seized locations and velocity information of transient CS, and then calculated the propagation velocity of CS based on spatial-temporal cross-correlation scanning. This laid a foundation for further studies on relevant dynamics properties.     

Probe chiral magnetic effect with signed balance function

In this paper a pair of observables are proposed as alternative ways,by examining the fluctuation of net momentum-ordering of charged pairs,to study the charge separation induced by the Chiral Magnetic Effect(CME)in relativistic heavy ion collisions.They are,the out-of-plane to in-plane ratio of fluctuation of the difference between signed balance functions measured in pair’s rest frame,and the ratio of it to similar measurement made in the laboratory frame.Both observables have been studied with simulations including flow-related backgrounds,and for the first time,backgrounds that are related to resonance's global spin alignment.The two observables have similar positive responses to signal,and opposite,limited responses to identifiable backgrounds arising from resonance flow and spin alignment.Both observables have also been tested with two realistic models,namely,a multi-phase transport(AMPT)model and the anomalous-viscous fluid dynamics(AVFD)model.These two observables,when cross examined,will provide useful insights in the study of CME-induced charge separation.

Ξ^-t quasibound state instead of ΛΛnn bound state

The coupledΛΛnn-Ξ-pnn system was studied to investigate whether the inclusion of channel coupling is able to bind theΛΛnn system.We use a separable potential three-body model of the coupledΛΛnn-Ξ-pnn system and a variational four-body calculation with realistic interactions.Our results exclude the possibility of aΛΛnn bound state by a large margin.Instead,we found aΞ-t quasibound state above theΛΛnn threshold.

吲哚咔唑类异构体芳香性的研究

分别采用拓扑共振能(E_TR)和环电流(RC)方法对吲哚咔唑类化合物的全局芳香性进行了研究.根据E_TR结果,预测所有化合物都具有芳香性.分别用键共振能(BRE)和回路共振能(CRE)方法揭示了它们的局部芳香性.BRE和CRE研究结果表明,在吲哚咔唑类化合物中,由于六元环内电子的离域化程度比五元环内电子的离域化程度强,因此六元环比五元环表现出较强的局部芳香性.此外,外部六元环比中间六元环具有较强的局部芳香性.计算得到的RC结果表明,所有化合物都产生反磁性环电流,化合物产生的反磁性RC强度与它们的¹H NMR化学位移之间具有很好的一致性.
