Bipyridinophane‐containing conjugated polymers modulated with an intramolecular aromatic C?H/π interaction

Bipyridinophane–fluorene conjugated copolymers have been synthesized via Suzuki and Heck coupling reactions from 5,8‐dibromo‐2,11‐dithia[3]paracyclo[3](4,4′)‐2,2′‐bipyridinophane and suitable fluorene precursors. Poly[2,7‐(9,9‐dihexylfluorene)‐co‐alt‐5,8‐(2,11‐dithia[3]paracyclo[3](4,4′)‐2,2′‐bipyridinophane)] ( P7 ) exhibits large absorption and emission redshifts of 20 and 34 nm, respectively, with respect to its planar reference polymer Poly[2,7‐(9,9‐dihexylfluorene)‐co‐alt‐1,4‐(2,5‐dimethylbenzene)] ( P11 ), which bears the same polymer backbone as P7 . These spectral shifts originate from intramolecular aromatic C? H/π interactions, which are evidenced by ultraviolet–visible and ¹H NMR spectra as well as X‐ray single‐crystal structural analysis. However, the effect of the intramolecular aromatic C? H/π interactions on the spectral shift in poly[9,9‐dihexylfluorene‐2,7‐yleneethynylene‐co‐alt‐5,8‐(2,11‐dithia[3]paracyclo[3](4,4′)‐2,2′‐bipyridinophane)] ( P10 ) is much weaker. Most interestingly, the quenching behaviors of these two conjugated polymers are largely dependent on the polymer backbone. For example, the fluorescence of P7 is efficiently quenched by Cu²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Zn²⁺, Mn²⁺, and Ag⁺ ions. In contrast, only Cu²⁺, Co²⁺, and Ni²⁺ ions can partially quench the fluorescence of P10 , but much less efficiently than the fluorescence of P7 . The static Stern–Volmer quenching constants of Cu²⁺, Co²⁺, and Ni²⁺ ions toward P7 are of the order of 10⁶ M^?1, being 1300, 2500, and 37,300 times larger than those of P10 , respectively. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Demonstration of Soliton Solutions of DNLS Equation by Liouville Theorem

In the inverse scattering transform (IST), the reflectionless Jost solutions are combined by their analytic properties in the complex spectrum parameter plane, and then can be shown to satisfy the two Lax equations indeed by Liouville theorem. So the corresponding soliton solutions certainly satisfy the nonlinear equation by compatibility condition. Especially the multi-soliton solutions of DNLS equation can be demonstrated in this way.

Finite Zeitübersetzung mit Extrapolation in der nichtlinearen Strukturdynamik

Übersicht Die Simulation steifer Differentialgleichungssysteme sehr hoher Ordnung durch implizite Runge-Kutta-Verfahren (gelegentlich auch nach Padé benannt) ist global weitgehend theoretisch geklärt. Bei der konkreten Behandlung von Aufgaben der nichtlinearen Strukturdynamik ist man jedoch zu vielfältigen Zusatzüberlegungen genötigt, um zu vertretbaren Rechenzeiten zu gelangen. Anknüpfend an die bewährte gleichgradige quadratische Padé-Entwicklung oder auch kubische Interpolation am System 1. Ordnung wird die Konvergenzbeschleunigung durch Extrapolation der Nichtlinearitäten belegt. Weiterhin werden Phänomene der modalen Reduktion beim Zusammenwirken verschiedener Steifigkeiten aufgezeigt.

Finite elements in time with extrapolation in nonlinear structural dynamics

Summary Today the theory of integrating stiff differential equations of high order by implicit Runge-Kutta methods (sometimes called Padé approximations) is developed very well especially concerning global properties. Nevertheless, additional considerations must be done in order to minimize the numerical effort when special problems from nonlinear structural dynamics are to be solved. Using a quadratic Padé-approximation or a cubic interpolation for the first-order-system it is shown that the rate of convergence profits from extrapolating the nonlinearities. Some observations and comments on modal reduction for problems characterized by multiple stiffnesses are added.

     

Codiameters of 3‐connected 3‐domination critical graphs

A graph G is 3‐domination critical if its domination number γ is 3 and the addition of any edge decreases γ by 1. Let G be a 3‐connected 3‐domination critical graph of order n. In this paper, we show that there is a path of length at least n?2 between any two distinct vertices in G and the lower bound is sharp. © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

带风险指数的金融均衡的存在性定理及其结构特征(下)

本文主要论证了在不完全市场条件下带风险指数的金融均衡的存在性，并揭示其均衡结构的特征．本文中建立的模型是一、二期货币投入产出金融经济且具有可微的资产结构，这一模型包括了许多具有特殊资产结构的均衡模型，如实资产结构、虚资产结构、恒秩资产结构的均衡模型．因此本文的这一模型具有广泛的应用前景和实用价值．接着给出了本文的金融均衡的存在性定理，再借助微分拓扑给出它的证明过程，这一证明过程较之以前证明均衡存在性的经典方法（如Duffie，D＆W．Shfer（1985）的方法）要简便得多．同时也应注意到本文的这一结论既适用于资产市场下会随机风险因素的情形，也适用于商品空间为无限维的情形，除此之外，还给出了怎样判别资产结构是否属于T类的判别法，为检验均衡存在性提供了更为便利的途径．最后，本文论证了在金融市场里，尽管由于稀缺性的存在，从而导致均衡分配的多样化，然而均衡分配集却形成了一光滑子流，但该流形的维数与稀缺性有关．换句话说，尽管市场是不完全的，但均市分配不确定性的反却是可比的．如此使得人们对均衡资产结构的认识更进一步．     

Preparing polymer brushes on polytetrafluoroethylene films by free radical polymerization

Films of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) were exposed to sodium naphthalenide (Na/naphtha) etchant so as to defluorinate the surface for obtaining hydroxyl functionality. Surface-initiators were immobilized on the PTFE films by esterification of 4,4′-azobis(4-cyanopentanoic acid) (ACP) and the hydroxyl groups covalently linked to the surface. Grafting of polymer brushes on the PTFE films was carried out by the surface-initiated free radical polymerization. Homopolymers brushes of methyl methacrylate (MMA) were prepared by free radical polymerization from the azo-functionalized PTFE surface. The chemical composition and topography of the graft-functionalized PTFE surfaces were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), attenuated total reflectance (ATR) FT-IR spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Water contact angles on PTFE films were reduced by surface grafting of MMA.     

On Two Measures of Problem Instance Complexity and their Correlation with the Performance of SeDuMi on Second-Order Cone Problems

We evaluate the practical relevance of two measures of conic convex problem complexity as applied to second-order cone problems solved using the homogeneous self-dual (HSD) embedding model in the software SeDuMi. The first measure we evaluate is Renegar's data-based condition measure C(d), and the second measure is a combined measure of the optimal solution size and the initial infeasibility/optimality residuals denoted by S (where the solution size is measured in a norm that is naturally associated with the HSD model). We constructed a set of 144 second-order cone test problems with widely distributed values of C(d) and S and solved these problems using SeDuMi. For each problem instance in the test set, we also computed estimates of C(d) (using Peña’s method) and computed S directly. Our computational experience indicates that SeDuMi iteration counts and log (C(d)) are fairly highly correlated (sample correlation R = 0.675), whereas SeDuMi iteration counts are not quite as highly correlated with S (R = 0.600). Furthermore, the experimental evidence indicates that the average rate of convergence of SeDuMi iterations is affected by the condition number C(d) of the problem instance, a phenomenon that makes some intuitive sense yet is not directly implied by existing theory.     

Strategies for the development of a voltammetric sensor for the determination of hydrogen peroxide at high concentrations

Different strategies are presented for the development of a voltammetric sensor for in-line measurement and monitoring of H₂O₂ in high concentrations (up to 30 g/l) as used in textile bleaching systems. When using macroelectrodes, signal saturation is observed even at medium concentrations. Some improvement can be achieved by hydrodynamic electrodes like ring-disk electrodes. Satisfactory results up to the desired level in practical solutions (possessing only limited conductivity) are obtained with Pt-microelectrodes.
