Methyltrioxorhenium (MTO)-catalyzed epoxidation of alkenes with H(2)O(2) has been significantly improved by using 3-methylpyrazole as an additive. A system consisting of 35% H(2)O(2) and MTO-3-methylpyrazole in CH(2)Cl(2) catalyzes the epoxidation of various alkenes in excellent yields. The catalytic activity of MTO-3-methylpyrazole surpasses MTO-pyrazole and MTO-pyridine catalysts. Quantitative yields of epoxides from cyclic and internal alkenes were obtained with only 0.05-0.1 mol% of MTO in the presence of 10 mol% of 3-methylpyrazole. 相似文献
The paper demonstrates that a confocal Raman microspectroscope combined with optical tweezers is a promising technique to estimate polymer concentration in polymer-rich domain in phase-separated-aqueous polymer solution. The sample polymer is poly-(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) that is well-known as a representative thermo-responsive polymer. Optical tweezers can selectively trap the polymer-rich domain at the focal point in non-contact and non-intrusive modes. Such situation allows us to determine polymer concentration in the domain, which has been unclear due to a lack of appropriate analytical technique. It is applicable for a variety of other thermo-responsive polymers. 相似文献
Controlling cell functions using external photoresponsive nanomaterials has enormous potential for the development of cell‐engineering technologies and intractable disease therapies, but the former currently requires genetic modification of the target cells. We present a method using plasma‐membrane‐targeted gold nanorods (pm‐AuNRs) prepared with a cationic protein/lipid complex to activate a thermosensitive cation channel, TRPV1, in intact neuronal cells. Highly localized photothermal heat generation mediated by the pm‐AuNRs induced Ca2+ influx solely by TRPV1 activation. In contrast, the use of previously reported cationic AuNRs that are coated with a conventional synthetic polymer also led to photoinduced Ca2+ influx, but this influx resulted from membrane damage. Our method provides an optogenetic platform without the need for prior genetic engineering of the target cells and might be useful for novel TRPV1‐targeted phototherapeutic approaches. 相似文献
When a shock wave ejected from the exit of a 5.4-mm inner diameter, stainless steel tube propagated through grid turbulence across a distance of 215 mm, which is 5–15 times larger than its integral length scale \(L_{u}\), and was normally incident onto a flat surface; the peak value of post-shock overpressure, \(\Delta P_{\mathrm{peak}}\), at a shock Mach number of 1.0009 on the flat surface experienced a standard deviation of up to about 9 % of its ensemble average. This value was more than 40 times larger than the dynamic pressure fluctuation corresponding to the maximum value of the root-mean-square velocity fluctuation, \(u^{\prime }= 1.2~\hbox {m}/\hbox {s}\). By varying \(u^{\prime }\) and \(L_{u}\), the statistical behavior of \(\Delta P_{\mathrm{peak}}\) was obtained after at least 500 runs were performed for each condition. The standard deviation of \(\Delta P_{\mathrm{peak}}\) due to the turbulence was almost proportional to \(u^{{\prime }}\). Although the overpressure modulations at two points 200 mm apart were independent of each other, we observed a weak positive correlation between the peak overpressure difference and the relative arrival time difference. 相似文献
We propose a novel and complementary method for fabrication of flexible electronics. This method is not based on conventional printing using inks, but is based on the application of a toner‐based method such as Xerox or laser printing, followed by a lamination process. The lamination method is a solvent‐free and material‐saving process that simultaneously seals the devices, and the fabricated flexible devices have structural durability against bending. We have also shown that thermal lamination has an oriented growth effect, and the electrical characteristics of flexible organic field‐effect transistors did not degrade under a bending radius of 1 mm.
We employ Besov space techniques and the method of modulus of continuity to obtain the global well-posedness of the modified Porous Media Equation. 相似文献
In the problem of selecting the explanatory variables in the linear mixed model, we address the derivation of the (unconditional or marginal) Akaike information criterion (AIC) and the conditional AIC (cAIC). The covariance matrices of the random effects and the error terms include unknown parameters like variance components, and the selection procedures proposed in the literature are limited to the cases where the parameters are known or partly unknown. In this paper, AIC and cAIC are extended to the situation where the parameters are completely unknown and they are estimated by the general consistent estimators including the maximum likelihood (ML), the restricted maximum likelihood (REML) and other unbiased estimators. We derive, related to AIC and cAIC, the marginal and the conditional prediction error criteria which select superior models in light of minimizing the prediction errors relative to quadratic loss functions. Finally, numerical performances of the proposed selection procedures are investigated through simulation studies. 相似文献
