Gorenstein projective bimodules via monomorphism categories and filtration categories

We generalize the monomorphism category from quiver (with monomial relations) to arbitrary finite dimensional algebras by a homological definition. Given two finite dimension algebras A and B, we use the special monomorphism category $\mathsf{Mon}(B,A\text{-}\mathsf{Gproj})$ to describe some Gorenstein projective bimodules over the tensor product of A and B. If one of the two algebras is Gorenstein, we give a sufficient and necessary condition for $\mathsf{Mon}(B,A\text{-}\mathsf{Gproj})$ being the category of all Gorenstein projective bimodules. In addition, if both A and B are Gorenstein, we can describe the category of all Gorenstein projective bimodules via filtration categories. Similarly, in this case, we get the same result for infinitely generated Gorenstein projective bimodules.     

Alcohol/water-soluble porphyrins as cathode interlayers in high-performance polymer solar cells

Three alcohol/water-soluble porphyrins,Zn-TPy PMe I:zinc(II)meso-tetra(N-methyl-4-pyridyl)porphyrin tetra-iodide,ZnTPy PAd Br:zinc(II)meso-tetra[1-(1-adamantylmethyl ketone)-4-pyridyl]porphyrin tetra-bromide and Mn Cl-TPy PAd Br:manganese(III)meso-tetra[1-(1-adamantylmethyl ketone)-4-pyridyl]porphyrin tetra-bromide were employed as cathode interlayers to fabricate polymer solar cells(PSCs).The PC71BM([6,6]-phenyl C71 butyric acid methyl ester)and PCDTBT(poly[N-9″-hepta-decanyl-2,7-carbazole-alt-5,5-(4′,7′-di-2-thienyl-2′,1′,3′-benzothiadiazole)])-blend films were used as active layers in polymer solar cells(PSCs).The PSCs with alcohol/water-soluble porphyrins interlayer showed obviously higher power conversion efficiency(PCE)than those without interlayers.The highest PCE,6.86%,was achieved for the device with Mn ClTPy PAd Br as an interlayer.Ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopic(UPS),carrier mobility,atomic force microscopy(AFM)and contact angle( )characterizations demonstrated that the porphyrin molecules can result in the formation of interfacial dipole layer between active layer and cathode.The interfacial dipole layer can obviously improve the open-circuit voltage(Voc)and charge extraction,and sequentially lead to the increase of PCE.     

Serum pharmacochemistry combined with multiple data processing approach to screen the bioactive components and their metabolites in Mutan Cortex by ultra‐performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry

Root cortex of Paeonia suffruticosa Andrews (Paeoniaceae), known as Moutan Cortex (MC), is known to have anti‐allergic and anti‐inflammatory properties. However, the constituents absorbed into blood after oral administration of MC remain unknown. A sensitive and rapid method by ultra‐high‐pressure liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization–quadrupole‐time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (UPLC‐ESI‐Q‐TOF‐MS) technology and the MetaboLynx^TM software combined with multiple data processing approach (Mdpa) was established to investigate the absorbed constituents in rats after oral administration of MC, providing unique high‐throughput capabilities for drug metabolism study. A hyphenated electrospray ionization and quadrupole‐time‐of‐flight analyzer was used for the determination of accurate mass of the fragment ion in negative mode, with excellent MS mass accuracy and enhanced data acquisition. This rapid automated analysis method was successfully applied for screening and identification of the constituents absorbed and metabolized studies of MC after oral administration to rats. A total of 46 peaks were obtained from MC, 41 of which were tentatively characterized. In the VIP‐plot of orthogonal partial least‐squares discriminant analysis, 23 interesting ions in serum samples were extracted, and 16 parent components and seven metabolites were detected in vivo. The integrative serum pharmacochemistry technique, UPLC‐ESI‐Q‐TOF‐MS, and Mdpa method were successfully applied for rapid discovery of multiple components from MC.

Melting and resolidification of gold film irradiated by laser pulses less than 100 fs

The rapid melting and resolidification of gold films irradiated by laser pulses less than 100 fs are investigated using the dual-hyperbolic two-step model. The solid–liquid interfacial velocity in the ultrafast phase change process is obtained by coupling a hyperbolic interfacial energy balance equation and nucleation dynamics. The results are compared with the experimental data for the 28-fs laser. The effects of laser pulse widths and fluences on melting process are investigated. A phase chart of the variations of pulse widths and fluences is established. The relationship between the melting threshold and ablation threshold is also presented.     

AgF/TFA-promoted highly efficient synthesis of α-haloketones from haloalkynes

A AgF/TFA-promoted highly efficient synthesis of a wide range of α-haloketones from haloalkynes is described. The reactions are conducted under convenient conditions and provide products in moderate to excellent yields, with broad substrate scope, including a variety of aromatic chloroalkynes and bromoalkynes.
