A new complex tannin, cowaniin (1) was isolated from the leaves and stems of Cowania mexicana (Rosaceae), and its structure was characterized as novel C-glucosidic tannin dimer linked through (+)-catechin on the basis of spectral and chemical evidence. The inhibitory effect on activation of the Epstein-Barr virus early antigen was assessed for cowaniin. Six known polyphenols and related compounds, including a nitrile glucoside, purshianin, were also characterized. 相似文献
The Li3MX6 compounds (M=Sc, Y, In; X=Cl, Br) are known as promising ionic conductors due to their compatibility with typical metal oxide cathode materials. In this study, we have successfully synthesized γ-Li3ScCl6 using high pressure for the first time in this family. Structural analysis revealed that the high-pressure polymorph crystallizes in the polar and chiral space group P63mc with hexagonal close-packing (hcp) of anions, unlike the ambient-pressure α-Li3ScCl6 and its spinel analog with cubic closed packing (ccp) of anions. Investigation of the known Li3MX6 family further revealed that the cation/anion radius ratio, rM/rX, is the factor that determines which anion sublattice is formed and that in γ-Li3ScCl6, the difference in compressibility between Sc and Cl exceeds the ccp rM/rX threshold under pressure, enabling the ccp-to-hcp conversion. Electrochemical tests of γ-Li3ScCl6 demonstrate improved electrochemical reduction stability. These findings open up new avenues and design principles for lithium solid electrolytes, enabling routes for materials exploration and tuning electrochemical stability without compositional changes or the use of coatings. 相似文献
Reversible and non‐bonding interaction between SWNTs and ODCB is observed from the analyses of visible near‐infrared absorption data and Raman spectroscopies (see spectra). The solvent effect on SWNTs effectively controls the electronic structure of SWNTs under homogeneous conditions.
Multiple-ion-sensing functions are integrated on a capillary-assembled microchip (CAs-CHIP). Since the CAs-CHIPs are fabricated by embedding various chemically functionalized square capillaries onto a lattice PDMS channel plate having same channel dimensions as outer dimensions of square capillaries, integration of parallel multiple-ion-sensing is easily realized. Here, three ion-sensing capillaries are prepared and used for integrating these functions onto a single microchip. Ion-sensing square capillaries (sodium, potassium, calcium) are prepared by attaching ion-selective optode membranes to inner wall of capillaries, and are characterized in terms of response time, response range, and ion selectivity. Finally, fully characterized ion-sensing capillaries are embedded into PDMS channel plate in parallel to fabricate a multiple-ion-sensing chip. The CAs-CHIP-based strategy is promising for integrating multiple chemical sensing functions onto a single microchip. 相似文献
A combined theoretical/experimental approach accurately quantifying post-necking hardening phenomena in ductile sheet materials that initially exhibit diffuse necking in tension is presented. The method is based on the minimization of the discrepancy between the internal and the external work in the necking zone during a quasi-static tensile test. The main focus of this paper is on the experimental validation of the method using an independent material test. For this purpose, the uniaxial tube expansion test is used to obtain uniaxial strain hardening behavior beyond the point of maximum uniform strain in a tensile test. The proposed method is used to identify the post-necking hardening behavior of a cold rolled interstitial-free steel sheet. It is demonstrated that commonly adopted phenomenological hardening laws cannot accurately describe all hardening stages. An alternative phenomenological hardening model is presented which enables to disentangle pre- and post-necking hardening behavior. Additionally, the influence of the yield surface on the identified post-necking hardening behavior is scrutinized. The results of the proposed method are compared with the hydraulic bulge test. Unlike the hydraulic bulge test, the proposed method predicts a decreased hardening rate in the post-necking regime which might be associated with probing stage IV hardening. While inconclusive, the discrepancy with the hydraulic bulge test suggests differential work hardening at large plastic strains. 相似文献
In this article, we propose a new method??the optical path-length matrix method (OPLM)??as a faster alternative to the Monte Carlo for multi-layered media (MCML), which is often used to simulate the skin spectrum. Theoretically, peripheral oxygen saturation can be estimated by iterating MCML, but it is not a realistic strategy because it requires huge computation time. The optical path-length matrix is obtained as the probabilistic density histograms of the optical path length in skin using MCML, and once the matrix is obtained, skin spectral reflectance can be calculated by accumulating all combinations of elements in the matrix and by setting an absorption coefficient based on the Beer-Lambert law. The computational time of OPLM was approximately 26,000 times faster than that of MCML. 相似文献
We address two fundamental questions in the representation theory of affine Hecke algebras of classical types. One is an inductive
algorithm to compute characters of tempered modules, and the other is the determination of the constants in the formal degrees
of discrete series (in the form conjectured by Reeder (J. Reine Angew. Math. 520:37–93, 2000)). The former is completely different from the Lusztig-Shoji algorithm (Shoji in Invent. Math. 74:239–267, 1983; Lusztig in Ann. Math. 131:355–408, 1990), and it is more effective in a number of cases. The main idea in our proof is to introduce a new family of representations
which behave like tempered modules, but for which it is easier to analyze the effect of parameter specializations. Our proof
also requires a comparison of the C∗-theoretic results of Opdam, Delorme, Slooten, Solleveld (J. Inst. Math. Jussieu 3:531–648, 2004; ; Int. Math. Res. Not., 2008; Adv. Math. 220:1549–1601, 2009; Acta Math. 205:105–187, 2010), and the geometric construction from Kato (Duke Math. J. 148:305–371, 2009; Am. J. Math. 133:518–553, 2011), Ciubotaru and Kato (Adv. Math. 226:1538–1590, 2011). 相似文献
CrCl2/Mn-mediated transformation of various dibromofluoromethylcarbinyl esters including carboxylates, carbonates and carbamates provided 1-fluoro-1-alkenyl esters via [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of ester group. Reaction proceeded by using CrCl2/Mn system under mild conditions (in THF at room temperature) to give 1-fluoro-1-alkenyl esters in good yield with an excellent Z selective manner. 1-Fluoro-1-alkenyl ester thus obtained acts as a double acyl donor in the reaction with necleophiles such as amine, thiol, alcohol as well as bifunctional necleophiles such as ethylene diamine derivative. 相似文献
In-plane tension and compression experiments on copper alloy sheets (phosphor bronze) and 6000 series aluminum alloy sheets (AA6016-T4) were conducted using a specially designed testing apparatus. The apparatus is equipped with comb-type dies so that stress–strain curves of a sheet specimen subjected to tension followed by compression, and vice versa, can be measured without buckling of the specimen, as well as those for monotonic tension and compression. A difference was observed in the flow stresses between tension and compression for the as-received copper alloy, but not for the aluminum alloy. Moreover, stress reversal tests, such as tension followed by compression and compression followed by tension, were carried out in order to measure the Bauschinger effect. In the second part of the experiment, bending moment–curvature diagrams were measured for the as-received and pre-stretched specimens. The bending moment–curvature diagrams were compared with those calculated using the stress–strain curves obtained from the tension–compression tests, and were in good agreement with those calculated with the tension–compression asymmetry and the Bauschinger effect correctly reproduced. 相似文献
