Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Laxiflorin J Derivatives as Potential Antitumor Agents

Laxiflorin J, isolated from the leaves of Isodon eriocalyx var. laxiflora, showed significant inhibitory activity toward T‐24 cells. A series of laxiflorin J derivatives were synthesized and their in vitro activity was evaluated against BEL‐7402, A‐549, HT‐29, HL‐60, MOLT‐4 tumor cell lines, with IC₅₀ values ranging from 1.3 to 42.2 μg mL^?1.     

Cyclopentane-1,2-dione bis(tert-butyldimethylsilyl) enol ether in asymmetric organocatalytic Mukaiyama–Michael reactions

Cyclopentane-1,2-dione bis(tert-butyldimethylsilyl) enol ether readily undergoes organocatalytic reactions with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes resulting in Mukaiyama–Michael adducts which, after reduction of the aldehyde group and deprotection result in chiral 1,2-diketones (in mono-enolic form) in good yields (up to 66%) and with high stereoselectivity (up to 94% ee).     

A variant of the level set method and applications to image segmentation

In this paper we propose a variant of the level set formulation for identifying curves separating regions into different phases. In classical level set approaches, the sign of level set functions are utilized to identify up to phases. The novelty in our approach is to introduce a piecewise constant level set function and use each constant value to represent a unique phase. If phases should be identified, the level set function must approach predetermined constants. We just need one level set function to represent unique phases, and this gains in storage capacity. Further, the reinitializing procedure requested in classical level set methods is superfluous using our approach. The minimization functional for our approach is locally convex and differentiable and thus avoids some of the problems with the nondifferentiability of the Delta and Heaviside functions. Numerical examples are given, and we also compare our method with related approaches.

     

An experimental and theoretical study of spin-spin coupling in chlorosilanes

An experimental and theoretical study of the absolute value of the one-bond spin-spin coupling constant |(1)J(Si,H)| in SiH(n)Cl(4-n) (n = 0-4) dissolved in THF-d(8) is presented. We found |(1)J(Si,H)| to increase with an increasing number of chlorine substituents, and the quantitative changes were found to differ from the values previously reported for the same compounds dissolved in cyclohexane-d(12). We also report on the variations in |(1)J(Si,H)| as a function of temperature, which we found to be linearly temperature dependent for the chlorine-substituted silanes and temperature independent for SiH(4). Furthermore, the temperature dependence of |(1)J(Si,H)| varied between the different chlorosilanes. Solvent-solute interactions were studied by quantum chemical DFT calculations. The variations in chloro-silane bond lengths upon adduct formation and the different adduct interaction energies may explain the temperature dependences of the coupling constants.     

多壁碳纳米管填充高密度聚乙烯复合材料的导电性和动态流变行为

对多壁碳纳米管/高密度聚乙烯(MWNTs/HDPE)复合材料的导电性和动态流变行为进行了研究.发现复合材料的复数粘度η*随MWNTs含量φ的增大而增大.当φ>3wt%时,η*发生突变,在低ω区域表现为非牛顿流体行为,出现强烈的剪切变稀现象.将其称为流变渗流现象,对应的填料含量即渗流阈值φc.在动态储能模量(G′)、损耗模量(G″)与频率(ω)关系曲线上,随φ增加出现“第二平台”,第二平台的出现表明MWNTs与MWNTs之间、MWNTs与聚合物之间存在相互缠结形成网络的结构.同时发现,在tanδ~ω曲线上的低ω区出现凹谷.认为这是由于MWNTs长链结构在低ω时伸长/收缩,MWNTs与MWNTs相互接触形成了次级网络造成的.经过不同时间热处理后的ω扫描以及动态间扫描的结果证实了这种结构的存在.研究结果表明复合材料的流变渗流阈值与电渗流阈值相一致(均在3%~5%之间),动态流变行为与导电性存在一定的相关性.

Conjugate acids of boratabenzenes substituted with CN or CF₃ groups (see figure) are highly acidic species; the protonated hexacyanoboratabenzene and hexakis(trifluoromethyl)boratabenzene have computational gas‐phase acidities of 250.5 and 276.8 kcal mol^?1, respectively.

     

Variance function estimation in multivariate nonparametric regression with fixed design

Variance function estimation in multivariate nonparametric regression is considered and the minimax rate of convergence is established in the iid Gaussian case. Our work uses the approach that generalizes the one used in [A. Munk, Bissantz, T. Wagner, G. Freitag, On difference based variance estimation in nonparametric regression when the covariate is high dimensional, J. R. Stat. Soc. B 67 (Part 1) (2005) 19-41] for the constant variance case. As is the case when the number of dimensions d=1, and very much contrary to standard thinking, it is often not desirable to base the estimator of the variance function on the residuals from an optimal estimator of the mean. Instead it is desirable to use estimators of the mean with minimal bias. Another important conclusion is that the first order difference based estimator that achieves minimax rate of convergence in the one-dimensional case does not do the same in the high dimensional case. Instead, the optimal order of differences depends on the number of dimensions.
