Photoactivity of titanium dioxide/carbon felt composites prepared with the assistance of supercritical carbon dioxide: Effects of calcination temperature and supercritical conditions

TiO2-coated carbon felt(TCF)composite catalysts have been prepared via a supercritical treatment of titanium tetraisopropoxide(TTIP)as the precursor.The physical properties of the catalysts were characterized by means of thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis(TG–DTA),X-ray diffraction(XRD),fluorescence spectroscopy,scanning electron microscopy (SEM),and BET surface areas techniques.The photocatalytic activities of the materials were evaluated using the degradation of Congo red(CR)as a probe rea...     

Relative position determination of a lunar rover using high-accuracy multi-frequency same-beam VLBI

Multi-frequency same-beam VLBI means that two explorers with a small separation angle are simultaneously observed with the main beam of receiving antennas. In the same-beam VLBI, the differential phase delay between two explorers and two receiving telescopes can be obtained with a small error of several picoseconds. The differential phase delay, as the observable of the same-beam VLBI, gives the separation angular information of the two explorers in the celestial sphere. The two-dimensional relative position on the plane-of-sky can thus be precisely determined with an error of less than 1 m for a distance of 3.8×105 km far away from the earth, by using the differential phase delay obtained with the four Chinese VLBI stations. The relative position of a lunar rover on the lunar surface can be determined with an error of 10 m by using the differential phase delay data and the range data for the lander when the lunar topography near the rover and the lander can be determined with an error of 10 m.     

Practical synthesis of new functionalized tetraphenylenes

The practical synthesis procedure of substituted tetraphenylene derivatives involving the synthesis of a precursor for 4, 7-dunethoxyisobenzofuran and Diets-Alder addition of 4, 7-dimethoxyisobenzofuran generated in situ to 5, 6, 11,12-te-tradehydrodibenzo[a,e]cyclooctene, followed by a low valent titanium mediated deoxygenation to give 1,4, 11, 14-tetra-methoxy-dibenzo[b, n] tetraphenylene, which can be further demethyiated to the corresponding phenolic compound, which was acetylated to afford 1,4,11,14-tetraacetoxy-dibenzo-[ b, n] tetraphenylene.     

使用ZFK-500型高速摄影机对液中放电现象的摄影观察

液中放电是通过放电的方式将电能高速转化为热、光、力、声等其他形式的能量。它具有一系列独特的优点,使它广泛应用于许多领域。因此,关于液中放电的研究具有重要的理论与实践意义。我们使用ZFK-500型高速摄影机对液中放电的击穿与弧道过程、冲击波的形成与传播过程,进行了比较成功的观察。大量清晰的摄影,记录了击穿时微弱光线的光导及其在整个放电阶段的情况;记录了液中放电弧道膨胀的特点 此外,不发光现象-冲击波形成与传播过程的记录,都为液中放电的理论研究,提供了十分宝贵的科学依据。     

Spectral and Mechanistic Studies of the Reactions of Substituted 1,5-Benzothiazepine with Dichloroacetyl Chloride and Triethylamine

A lot of attentions have been paid to the synthesis of benzothiazepines and derivatives1,2 due to their significant physiological activities. It has been reported that b-lactam, a major part of the antibiotic skeleton, can be introduced to a molecule by reaction of an imine moiety with ketene3,4. We introduced a b-lactam skeleton to benzothiazepine and hoped the new compounds may possess certain biological activities. SHNH3ClCHCHCOC2H5OHSNClCla: ortho-Clb: para-Cl+PyridineScheme …

A general sufficient condition for a graph G with λ_m(G)≤ξ_m(G)

It has been shown that a λ m-connected graph G has the property λ m (G)≤ξ m (G) for m≤3.But for m≥4,Bonsma et al.pointed out that in general the inequality λ m (G)≤ξ m (G) is no longer true.Recently Ou showed that any λ 4-connected graph G with order at least 11 has the property λ 4 (G)≤ξ 4 (G).In this paper,by investigating some structure properties of a λ m-connected graph G with λ m (G) ξ m (G),we obtain easily the above result.Furthermore,we show that every λ m-connected graph G with order greater than m(m-1) satisfies the inequality λ m (G)≤ξm (G) for m≥5.And by constructing some examples,we illustrate that our conditions are the best possible.     

Size effect of fullerene cages and encaged clusters in M_3N@C_(2n)

Based on the calculated findings that the sizes of encaged clusters determine the structures and the stability of C80-based trimetallic nitride fullerenes (TNFs), more extensive density functional theory calculations were performed on M3N@C68, M3N@C78 and M3N@C80 (M=Sc, Y and La). The calculated results demonstrated that the structures and stability undergo a transition with the increasing of the sizes of the cages and clusters. Sc3N is planar inside the three considered cages, Y3N is slightly pyramidal ins...
