Some results on generalized strong external difference families

A generalized strong external difference family (briefly \((v, m; k_1,\dots ,k_m; \lambda _1,\dots ,\lambda _m)\)-GSEDF) was introduced by Paterson and Stinson in 2016. In this paper, we give some nonexistence results for GSEDFs. In particular, we prove that a \((v, 3;k_1,k_2,k_3; \lambda _1,\lambda _2,\lambda _3)\)-GSEDF does not exist when \(k_1+k_2+k_3< v\). We also give a first recursive construction for GSEDFs and prove that if there is a \((v,2;2\lambda ,\frac{v-1}{2};\lambda ,\lambda )\)-GSEDF, then there is a \((vt,2;4\lambda ,\frac{vt-1}{2};2\lambda ,2\lambda )\)-GSEDF with \(v>1\), \(t>1\) and \(v\equiv t\equiv 1\pmod 2\). Then we use it to obtain some new GSEDFs for \(m=2\). In particular, for any prime power q with \(q\equiv 1\pmod 4\), we show that there exists a \((qt, 2;(q-1)2^{n-1},\frac{qt-1}{2};(q-1)2^{n-2},(q-1)2^{n-2})\)-GSEDF, where \(t=p_1p_2\dots p_n\), \(p_i>1\), \(1\le i\le n\), \(p_1, p_2,\dots ,p_n\) are odd integers.     

q-Laguerre polynomials and related q-partial differential equations

In this paper, we define two homogenous q-Laguerre polynomials, by introducing a modified q-differential operator, we prove that an analytic function can be expanded in terms of the q-Laguerre polynomials if and only if the function satisfies certain q-partial differential equations. Using this main result, we derive the generating functions, bilinear generating functions and mixed generating functions for the q-Laguerre polynomials and generalized q-Hahn polynomials. Cigler’s polynomials and its generating functions discussed in [J. Cao, D.-W. Niu, A note on q -difference equations for Cigler’s polynomials, J. Difference Equ. Appl. 22 (2016), 1880–1892.] are generalized. At last, we obtain an q-integral identity involving q-Laguerre polynomials. These applications indicate that the q-partial differential equation is an effective tool in studying q-Laguerre polynomials.

Synthesis and properties of thermoplastic polyimides with ether and ketone moieties

A series of polyimides containing ether and ketone moieties were synthesized from 1,3‐bis(4‐fluorobenzoyl) benzene and several commercially available dianhydrides via a conventional two‐step polymerization. The inherent viscosities of Polyamide acids ranged from 0.46 to 0.73 dL/g. Thermal properties, mechanical properties, and thermalplasticity of the obtained polimide films were investigated by focusing on the chemical structures of their repeat units. These films were amorphous, flexible, and transparent. All films displayed low T_gs (184–225 °C) but also excellent thermal stability, the 5% weight loss temperature was up to 542 °C under nitrogen. The films showed outstanding mechanical properties with the modulus up to 3.0 GPa and the elongation at break in the range of 8–160%. The uniaxial stretching of PI‐a at high temperature was studied owing to its excellent flexibility. The PI‐a had an elongation at break up to 1600% at 245 °C and the uniaxially stretched film exhibited a much higher modulus (3.9 GPa) and strength (240 MPa) than undrawn film. The results indicated that PI‐a can potentially be used to prepare materials such as fiber, ultra‐thin film or ultra‐high modulus film. All the obtained films also demonstrated excellent thermoplasticity (drop of E′ at T_g > 10³) which made the polyimides more suitable for melt processing. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Supercurrent switching effect in zigzag graphene nanoribbons

The lattice dynamics in the CuIr₂S₄ system have been investigated through Raman spectroscopy and the induced-pressure effect. Four Raman active modes are observed experimentally. Upon cooling, these Raman spectra undergo changes due to the Peierls-like phase transition. In addition, the substitution of Ag for Cu affects the amplitude of the Raman spectra while keeping their wave number unchanged. Furthermore, the positive and negative pressure effects are induced by shrinking and expanding the lattice. It is suggested that the pressure effect is an effective proof of the orbital-induced Peierls state mechanism.     

Study on the bioactivity changes of hydroxylated sulfonylureas derivatives: A possible metabolism

Some new sulfonylureas and their hydroxylation products had been synthesized from 2-amino-4-methylpyrimidine. Their bioactivities against E. coli AHAS II in vitro were tested and the results indicated that the hydroxylation decreased the inhibition activities of sulfonylureas significantly. Subsequently herbicidal tests against stem-growth of barnyard grass and root-growth of rape confirmed the above conclusion. The preliminary molecular docking studies were also carried out to investigate the binding modes of non-hydroxylated and hydroxylated sulfonylureas with AHAS.     

A Compact 2-D Finite-Difference Frequency-Domain Method for Dispersion Characteristics Analysis of Trapezoidal-Ridge Waveguides

A compact two-dimension (2-D) finite-difference frequency-domain (FDFD) method is used to analyze the dispersion characteristics of single and double trapezoidal-ridge waveguides. The general 2-D FDFD formulation under orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system is derived from the difference form of Maxwell’s equations, and modified difference formulas at the trapezoidal-ridge section are built. After implementing the boundary conditions, the 2-D FDFD formulation is concluded as an eigen equation and then constructed by a highly sparse matrix. By solving the matrix-eigen equation, the dispersion characteristics of the ridged waveguides can be obtained. Computed results are in good agreements with the previously published and simulated ones, which prove the correctness of the method.
