Effects of threshold on single-target detection by using modified amplitude-modulated joint transform correlator

Effects of threshold value on detection performance of the modified amplitude-modulated joint transform correlator are quantitatively studied using computer simulation. Fingerprint and human face images are used as test scenes in the presence of noise and a contrast difference. Simulation results demonstrate that this correlator improves detection performance for both types of image used, but moreso for human face images. Optimal detection of low-contrast human face images obscured by strong noise can be obtained by selecting an appropriate threshold value.     

Cu(I)-catalyzed stereospecific coupling reactions of enantioenriched α-stannylated benzyl carbamates and their application

Enantioenriched α-stannylated benzyl carbamates were used in highly stereospecific coupling reactions employing Cu(I) as catalyzing transition metal. Acid chlorides and allyl bromide derivatives were used as electrophilic coupling partners. The reaction was applied in the synthesis of two highly enantioenriched indanoles and one enantioenriched tetraline via intramolecular cyclization reactions.     

SINDO1 study of the photoreaction of tetramethylene sulfone

The mechanism of the photoreaction of tetramethylene sulfone (TMSO₂) was investigated by the semiempirical molecular orbital (MO) method SINDO1. The relevant low-lying potential energy surfaces, which were calculated with limited configuration interaction (CI), were studied by optimizing intermediates and transition structures and by introducing linear interpolations between these stationary points. The main initial reaction step for all important products is an α cleavage of one C? S bond. This leads to an intermediate that can be classified as an excited singlet diradical. Its electronic structure is described with a two-electron, three-orbital model. Starting from this initially generated intermediate, the reaction branches into several pathways leading to various products. Feasible reaction pathways were established for all important products consistent with experiments. © 1995 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
