New barium cobaltite series Ba(n+1)Co(n)O(3n+3)(Co8O8): intergrowth structure containing perovskite and CdI2-type layers

Single crystals of two new cobaltites, Ba2Co9O14 and Ba3Co10O17, were obtained from the flux of K2CO3 in the temperature range 800-890 degrees C. They crystallize in an intergrowth structure containing perovskite block and CdI2-type layers and can be attributed to the n = 1 and 2 members in a new intergrowth series of cobaltites, Ba(n+1)Co(n)O(3n+3)(Co8O8). Both Ba2Co9O14 and Ba3Co10O17 are metastable and transform into the known 2H-perovskite-related oxides at high temperature.     

A rapid ultra-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometric method for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the constituents of the flower of Trollius ledibouri Reichb

A rapid ultra-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometric (UPLC–ESI-MS/MS) method was developed for the qualitative and quantitative determination of the constituents of the flower of Trollius ledibouri Reichb. The analysis was performed on an AcQuity UPLC™ BEH C₁₈ column using gradient elution with a mobile phase of 0.1% acetic acid and acetonitrile over 20 min. A tandem quadrupole spectrometer operating in either full scan mode or in MS/MS mode for multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) was used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the constituents, respectively. According to the mass spectrometric fragmentation mechanism and UPLC–ESI-MS/MS data, the chemical structures of 15 constituents of the flower of T. ledibouri Reichb. were identified on-line without time-consuming isolation and four of them, 2″-O-β-l-galactopyranosylorientin, 2″-O-β-arabinopyranosylorientin, orientin and vitexin, were quantified. The limits of quantification of these four flavonoids were 540, 321, 515 and 220 μg g⁻¹ plant material, respectively. Four commercial samples from different sources were analyzed. The UPLC–ESI-MS/MS method for analyzing the constituents can be used to evaluate the quality of the flower of T. ledibouri Reichb.     

Simultaneous compensation for spatial and temporal dispersion of acousto-optical deflectors for two-dimensional scanning with a single prism

The dispersive nature of the acousto-optical deflector (AOD) presents a challenge to applications of two sequential orthogonal AODs (a two-dimensional AOD) as XY scanners in multiphoton microscopy. Introducing a prism before the two-dimensional (2D) AOD allows both temporal and spatial dispersion to be compensated for simultaneously. A 90 fs laser pulse was broadened to 572 fs without compensation, and 143 fs with compensation. The ratio of long axis to short axis of the exiting laser beam spot was 3.50 without compensation and 1.14 with compensation. The insertion loss was 37%. Two-photon fluorescence microscopy used the compensated 2D AOD scanner to image a fluorescent microsphere, which improves signal intensity -15-fold compared with the uncompensated scanner.     

Long-distance quantum communication with “polarization” maximally entangled states

We propose a scheme for long-distance quantum communication where the elementary entanglement is generated through two-photon interference and quantum swapping is performed through one-photon interference. Local “polarization” maximally entangled states of atomic ensembles are generated by absorbing a single photon from on-demand single-photon sources. This scheme is robust against phase fluctuations in the quantum channels, moreover speeds up long-distance high-fidelity entanglement generation rate.     

Constructing a chaotic system with any number of equilibria

In the chaotic Lorenz system, Chen system and Rössler system, their equilibria are unstable and the number of the equilibria are no more than three. This paper shows how to construct some simple chaotic systems that can have any preassigned number of equilibria. First, a chaotic system with no equilibrium is presented and discussed. Then a methodology is presented by adding symmetry to a new chaotic system with only one stable equilibrium, to show that chaotic systems with any preassigned number of equilibria can be generated. By adjusting the only parameter in these systems, one can further control the stability of their equilibria. This result reveals an intrinsic relationship of the global dynamical behaviors with the number and stability of the equilibria of a chaotic system.     

Weighted mean velocity feedback strategy in intelligent two-route traffic systems

Information feedback strategies can influence the traffic efficiency of intelligent traffic systems greatly. Based on the more practical symmetrical two-route scenario with one entrance and one exit, an improved Weighted Mean Velocity Feedback Strategy (WMVFS) is proposed, which is not sensitive to the precision of Global Position System (GPS) devices. The applicability of WMVFS to different weight factors, aggressive probabilities, densities of dynamic vehicles, and different two-route scenarios (symmetrical scenario and asymmetrical scenario with a speed limit bottleneck) is analyzed. Results show that WMVFS achieves the best performance compared with three other information feedback strategies when considering the traffic flux and stability.
