Antioxidant coumarin and pyrone derivatives from the insect-associated fungus Aspergillus Versicolor

Abstract

Two new compounds, versicolones A and B (1 and 2), and three known pyrone derivatives (3?5) were isolated from the insect-associated fungus Aspergillus versicolor. Their structures were elucidated through a combination of HRESIMS and NMR spectroscopic analysis. Versicolone A (1) was revealed as a coumarin derivative with the rare 5-alkyl side chain substitution. Compound 5 exhibited significant antioxidant activity with EC₅₀ value of 8.0?μM in the ABTS (2,2-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) assay, which was more than 2-fold potency of the positive control trolox.     

Manipulation of multi-transparency windows and fast-slow light transitions in a hybrid cavity optomechanical system

We study the generation of quadruple-transparency windows and the implementation of a conversion between slow and fast light in a hybrid optomechanical system. By demonstrating the generation of these transparency windows one by one, we analyze the physical mechanism through which each transparency window forms in detail. Additionally, we discuss how the system parameters affect the formation of transparency windows and conclude that the location, width, and absorption of each transparency window can be arbitrarily manipulated by varying the appropriate parameters. Moreover, when the pump field is changed from red to blue detuning, conversions between slow and fast light occur in the output field. These interesting properties of the output field can be applied to achieve the coherent control and manipulation of light pulses using cavity optomechanical system.

Interaction between excitons in 3D and 2D laser-excited semiconductors

Analytical expressions of the exciton-exciton interaction in 3D and 2D laser-excited semiconductors are approximately derived in rather easy-to-handle forms which enable us to study in detail their dependences on the exciton momenta, the momentum transferred between two excitons and the electron-hole mass ratio.We would like to thank Prof. Nguyen Van Hieu and Prof. Dao Vong Due for their support given to us in the research of highly excited media.

Conjectures on the character degrees of the harada-norton simple group HN

We classify the radical subgroups and chains of the Harada-Norton simple group HN and verify the Alperin weight conjecture and the refined Dade conjecture due to Uno for the group. This implies the Isaacs-Navarro and Dade reductive conjectures for the group. This work was supported in part by the Marsden Fund of New Zealand via grant #9144/3368248.

Improvement of polyacrylate coating by filling modified nano-TiO2

Nano-TiO₂ is modified by a method, by which nano-TiO₂ first reacts with silane coupling agent WD-70 with double bond group which subsequently copolymerizes with methyl methacrylate and butyl acrylate to produce a thin polymer shell on the nanoparticles. The modified nanoparticles have stable organophilicity. They are applied to polyacrylate coating and performances of the coating are measured by different methods. The modification of nano-TiO₂ particles can improve their dispersibility in coating, enhance hardness of coating and reduce water absorption and permeability of polyacrylate coating. The mechanism has been analyzed in this paper.
