Axonal sodium and potassium conductance density determines spiking dynamical properties of regular- and fast-spiking neurons

Nonlinear Dynamics - Compared with regular-spiking (RS) neurons, the action potentials (APs) of fast-spiking (FS) neurons are characterized by narrow spike durations and unusually fast decay...     

Stable Triarylmethyl Radicals and Cobalt(II) Ions Based 1D/2D Coordination Polymers

The incorporation of organic radicals into coordination polymers was considered as a promising strategy to promote metal-ligand exchange interactions, but there are only a very limited number of stable organic radical-based ligands that can serve well such a purpose. Herein, we report two new tris(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)methyl (TTM) radical-based ligands L1 and L2 with two and three imidazole substituents, respectively. The imidazole unit serves as a coordination site and it can also stabilize the TTM radical by intramolecular donor–acceptor interaction. Coordination of L1 and L2 with cobalt(II) ions gave the corresponding one- ( CoCP - 1 ) and two-dimensional ( CoCP - 2 ) coordination polymers, the structures of which were confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Magnetic measurements and theoretical calculations suggest antiferromagnetic coupling between the paramagnetic cobalt(II) ions and the radical ligands. Our study provides a rational design for stable organic radical-based ligands and further demonstrated the feasibility of a metal–radical approach toward magnetic materials.     

[Cs6Cl][Fe24Se26]: A Host–Guest Compound with Unique Fe–Se Topology

The novel host–guest compound [Cs₆Cl][Fe₂₄Se₂₆] (I4/mmm; a=11.0991(9), c=22.143(2) Å) was obtained by reacting Cs₂Se, CsCl, Fe, and Se in closed ampoules. This is the first member of a family of compounds with unique Fe–Se topology, which consists of edge‐sharing, extended fused cubane [Fe₈Se₆Se_8/3] blocks that host a guest complex ion, [Cs₆Cl]⁵⁺. Thus Fe is tetrahedrally coordinated and divalent with strong exchange couplings, which results in an ordered antiferromagnetic state below T_N=221 K. At low temperatures, a distribution of hyperfine fields in the Mössbauer spectra suggests a structural distortion or a complex spin structure. With its strong Fe–Se covalency, the compound is close to electronic itinerancy and is, therefore, prone to exhibit tunable properties.     

On the polyhedral lift-and-project methods and the fractional stable set polytope

We study two polyhedral lift-and-project operators (originally proposed by Lovász and Schrijver in 1991) applied to the fractional stable set polytopes. First, we provide characterizations of all valid inequalities generated by these operators. Then, we present some seven-node graphs on which the operator enforcing the symmetry of the matrix variable is strictly stronger on the odd-cycle polytope of these graphs than the operator without this symmetry requirement. This disproves a conjecture of Lipták and Tunçel from 2003.

Approximating the complexity measure of Vavasis-Ye algorithm is NP-hard

Given an m×n integer matrix A of full row rank, we consider the problem of computing the maximum of ∥B ^-1 A∥₂ where B varies over all bases of A. This quantity appears in various places in the mathematical programming literature. More recently, logarithm of this number was the determining factor in the complexity bound of Vavasis and Ye’s primal-dual interior-point algorithm. We prove that the problem of approximating this maximum norm, even within an exponential (in the dimension of A) factor, is NP-hard. Our proof is based on a closely related result of L.
