Improved solution for inventory model with defective goods

This paper is a consequence for a paper of Lin et al. [S.W. Lin, Y.W. Wou, P. Julian, Note on minimax distribution free procedure for integrated inventory model with defective goods and stochastic lead time demand, Appl. Math. Model. 35 (2011) 2087–2093]. We simplified their complicated solution procedure and then presented a revision to patch their negligence for the boundary minimums. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate our findings.     

DERIVATIVES OF 4-CHLORO-3,5-DINITROBENZOTRIFLUORIDE V. SYNTHESIS OF 4,6-DINITRO-2,8-BIS(TRIFLUOROMETHYL) PHENOTHIAZINE (1), ISOPROPYL 2,6-DINITRO-4-TRIFLUOROMETHYLPHENYL SULFIDE (2) AND BIS(2,6-DINITRO-4-TRIFLUOROMETHYLPHENYL) DISULFIDE (3)

Abstract

The reaction of potassium isopropyl dithiocarbonate with 4-chloro-3,5-dinitrobenzotrifluoride in dimethylformamide at 25–30°C afforded the titled phenothiazine (1) and sulfide (2). The reaction of bis(2,6-dinitro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-sulfide or the above halogen compound with sodium hydrosulfide in the same solvent at 80–90°C furnished 1. At 25–30°C the latter reaction afforded the titled disulfide (3). Possible mechanisms and supporting nmr, ir and mass spectral data are discussed.     

Thermoluminescence response as a function of irradiation temperature

Thermoluminescence response at different irradiation temperatures and photon energies has been studied. Analyses of the glow curve and the peak height of TLD 200, 600, 700 and CaSO₄:Dy for irradiations using ⁶⁰Co, ¹³⁷Cs and ²²⁶Ra were made.     

高熵氧化物的设计及其在锂离子电池中的应用研究进展

储能技术的革命性变化对下一代锂离子电池(LIBs)负极材料提出了更高的要求。近年来,一类具有复杂化学计量比的新型材料——高熵氧化物(HEOs)逐渐进入人们的视野并走向繁荣。理想的元素可调节性和吸引人的协同效应使 HEOs有望突破传统阳极的综合性能瓶颈,为电化学储能材料的设计和发展提供新的动力。本文分别从化学成分调控和结构设计2个方面结合本课题组近年来的研究及国内外重要文献,综述了HEOs作为LIBs负极材料的研究进展。在化学成分调控方面通过金属杂原子掺杂、非金属杂原子掺杂来提高HEOs的本征活性。在结构设计方面,通过构建一维结构、二维结构、三维结构、空心结构以及复合碳材料来增加HEOs的反应活性位点数量,从而提高储锂性能。最后,对HEOs在LIBs领域的发展进行了展望。     

Ligand‐Functionalization of BPEI‐Coated YVO4:Bi3+,Eu3+ Nanophosphors for Tumor‐Cell‐Targeted Imaging Applications

In this study, surface‐functionalized, branched polyethylenimine (BPEI)‐modified YVO₄:Bi³⁺,Eu³⁺ nanocrystals (NCs) were successfully synthesized by a simple, rapid, solvent‐free hydrothermal method. The BPEI‐coated YVO₄:Bi³⁺,Eu³⁺ NCs with high crystallinity show broad‐band excitation in the λ=250 to 400 nm near‐ultraviolet (NUV) region and exhibit a sharp‐line emission band centered at λ=619 nm under excitation at λ=350 nm. The surface amino groups contributed by the capping agent, BPEI, not only improve the dispersibility and water/buffer stability of the BPEI‐coated YVO₄:Bi³⁺,Eu³⁺ NCs, but also provide a capability for specifically targeted biomolecule conjugation. Folic acid (FA) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) were further attached to the BPEI‐coated YVO₄:Bi³⁺,Eu³⁺ NCs and exhibited effective positioning of fluorescent NCs toward the targeted folate receptor overexpressed in HeLa cells or EGFR overexpressed in A431 cells with low cytotoxicity. These results demonstrate that the ligand‐functionalized, BPEI‐coated YVO₄:Bi³⁺, Eu³⁺ NCs show great potential as a new‐generation biological luminescent bioprobe for bioimaging applications. Moreover, the unique luminescence properties of BPEI‐coated YVO₄:Bi³⁺,Eu³⁺ NCs show potential to combine with a UVA photosensitizing drug to produce both detective and therapeutic effects for human skin cancer therapy.
