Quantum chemical investigation on one- and two-photon absorption properties for a series of donor-π-acceptor-type compounds with trivalent boron as an acceptor

In this paper, one- and two-photon absorption properties as well as the transition nature of a series of donor-π-acceptor-type compounds with trivalent boron as an acceptor have been theoretically studied by using INDO/SDCI method. Our calculations indicate that the four o-methyl moieties on the two mesityl groups play an important part in protecting the trivalent boron from being attacked by oxygen in the air. The trivalent boron containing group can be an all-right electron-acceptor with some bulky groups attached to it. On the basis of geometry optimization and UV–vis spectra, the positions and strengths of two-photon absorption for these molecules were reported.     

Electronic structure and magnetism of YbRhSn

The electronic band structure of YbRhSn has been calculated using the self-consistent full potential nonorthogonal local orbital minimum basis scheme based on the density functional theory. We investigated the electronic structure with the spin-orbit interaction and on-site Coulomb potential for the Yb-derived 4f orbitals to obtain the correct ground state of YbRhSn. The exchange interaction between local f electrons and conduction electrons play an important role in the heavy fermion characters of them. The fully relativistic band structure scheme shows that spin-orbit coupling splits the 4f states into two manifolds, the 4f_7/2 and the 4f_5/2 multiplet.

Advantages of Adaptive Speckle Filtering Prior to Application of Iterative Deconvolution Methods for Optical Coherent Tomography Imaging

The axial resolution of optical coherence tomography (OCT) is closely related to the light source spectrum width. Unfortunately, most basic sources providing the required power for decent OCT image have narrow spectra, which generate a resolution loss. Assuming the OCT system is linear shift-invariant, we can consider the system output as the convolution of the theoretical signal with a system impulse response due to this spectrum narrowness. It becomes then possible to enhance this resolution through iterative deconvolution methods (IDM). However those methods have a significant drawback, as they usually significantly enhance speckle, which is another consequence of the source spectrum narrowness. To compensate this, we rely on preliminary speckle filtering, and especially the adaptative ones, which allow tackling the speckle without blurring the image. We first studied enhancement proposed by most popular IDMs on OCT images, and then the effect of preliminary adaptive speckle filtering (ASF) by different common adaptive methods. Then, among those methods, we combined Frost filter and Richardson-Lucy deconvolution in the appropriated way; this way we both enhanced resolution by 2 and reduced speckle (raising CNR from 0.7 to 1.3)     

(–)‐α‐Isosparteine copper(II) diazide

In the title complex, [Cu(N₃)₂(C₁₅H₂₆N₂)], the Cu atom is surrounded by the two N atoms of the chelating (?)‐α‐isosparteine ligand and another two N atoms from the two azide anions, forming a distorted CuN₄ tetrahedron. The two azide anions are terminally bound to the Cu^II atom, and the dihedral angle between the N_sparteine—Cu—N_sparteine and N_azide—Cu—N_azide planes is 50.0 (2)°.

Using solid phase synthesis, a library has been constructed of benzamidine-derived sulfonamides which have strong inhibitory activity against blood coagulant thrombin. The library compounds were obtained in good yield and high purity. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Optimal poroelastic layer sequencing for sound transmission loss maximization by topology optimization method

Optimal layer sequencing of a multilayered acoustical foam is solved to maximize its sound transmission loss. A foam consisting of air and poroelastic layers can be optimized when a limited amount of a poroelastic material is allowed. By formulating the sound transmission loss maximization problem as a one-dimensional topology optimization problem, optimal layer sequencing and thickness were systematically found for several single and ranges of frequencies. For optimization, the transmission losses of air and poroelastic layers were calculated by the transfer matrix derived from Biot's theory. By interpolating five intrinsic parameters among several poroelastic material parameters, distinct air-poroelastic layer distributions were obtained; no filtering or postprocessing was necessary. The optimized foam layouts by the proposed method were shown to differ depending on the frequency bands of interest.     

DSAZn与槲皮素的配位结合及对槲皮素的高灵敏度检测

槲皮素为天然黄酮类化合物,可用于高血压、高血脂、心血管疾病、癌症等的预防和治疗;槲皮素的定量检测在生物化学、临床医学等领域尤为重要。利用分子荧光物质(DSAZn)的聚集诱导发光现象(AIE),通过配位作用识别靶标分子槲皮素,结合激发态电子转移原理,提出了一种AIE型荧光分子对槲皮素的高灵敏度、高选择性检测方法。实验研究了pH 7.0的PBS缓冲液中DSAZn的荧光随着五种药物分子（槲皮素、淫羊藿素、异鼠李素、芦丁、多巴胺）加入后的变化情况。采用荧光分光光度计,以415 nm为激发波长,扫描435~680 nm的荧光发射光谱。采用紫外分光光度计,扫描DSAZn 250~750 nm的紫外吸收光谱。紫外检测表明中药分子槲皮素可以与AIE荧光探针形成复合物,因此加入槲皮素后AIE探针的荧光被静态猝灭。荧光检测表明五种药物分子对荧光探针的猝灭强弱有明显差异,槲皮素与DSAZn结合常数为1.34×107 L·mol-1,比其他四种药物分子和DSAZn的结合常数高出一个数量级,显示出DSAZn对槲皮素具有较好的选择性。槲皮素的检测限为3.07 nmol·L-1,低于诸多文献已报道的参考值,表明DSAZn对槲皮素的识别具有较高的灵敏度。由荧光滴定光谱和荧光滴定曲线得到槲皮素对DSAZn的滴定方程为：y=0.013 4x-0.294 82,槲皮素浓度在0~5 μmol·L-1范围内线性关系良好,线性相关系数r=0.994 3。由此构建出一种AIE型荧光分子对槲皮素的高选择性、高灵敏度检测方法,该方法操作简便、重复性好,为具有相似结构药物的检测提供了新的研究思路。
