Applications of fractional complex transform and $\left( \frac{G^{\prime }}{G}\right) $-expansion method for time-fractional differential equations

In this paper, the fractional complex transform and the $\left( \frac{G^{\prime }}{G}\right) $-expansion method are employed to solve the time-fractional modfied Korteweg-de Vries equation (fmKdV),Sharma-Tasso-Olver, Fitzhugh-Nagumo equations, where $G$ satisfies a second order linear ordinary differential equation. Exact solutions are expressed in terms of hyperbolic, trigonometric and rational functions. These solutions may be useful and desirable to explain some nonlinear physical phenomena in genuinely nonlinear fractional calculus.

Time-slot interchange of 40 Gbits/s variable length optical packets using conversion-dispersion-based tunable delays

We demonstrate tunable time-slot interchange of 40 Gbits/s optical data packets using a conversion-dispersion-based tunable optical delay element. Odd and even data packets are extracted from an input signal, delayed relative to one another in a highly dispersive medium, and then multiplexed back together. Tunability is demonstrated by operating with two different packet lengths, 182 and 288 bits/packet, and a bit error rate of <10(-9) is achieved.     

MRI findings of intraosseous lipoma: case report

Intraosseous lipoma is one of the rarest benign bone tumors and usually presents in the fourth to fifth decades. Except for minor symptoms, they are usually asymptomatic. Metaphysis of long bones, especially proximal parts of femur and fibula, are involved in most cases. We present intraosseous lipoma to discuss the benefits of MRI and contrast-enhanced MRI findings for differential diagnosis.     

菲啶和三苯基膦的Cu(Ⅰ)/Cu(Ⅱ)配合物的合成、表征和X射线晶体结构分析

Liquid crystalline mesophases of pluronics (L64, P65, and P123) and transition metal nitrate salts ([M(H2O)6](NO3)2)

The triblock poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) copolymers, Pluronics (L64, P65, and P123), form liquid crystalline (LC) mesophases with transition metal nitrate salts (TMS), [M(H(2)O)(n)](NO(3))(2), in the presence and absence of free water in the media. In this assembly process, M-OH(2) plays an important role as observed in a TMS:C(n)EO(m) (C(n)EO(m) is oligo(ethylene oxide) nonionic surfactants) system. The structure of the LC mesophases and interactions of the metal ion-nitrate ion and metal ion-Pluronic were investigated using microscopy (POM), diffraction (XRD), and spectroscopy (FTIR and micro-Raman) techniques. The TMS:L64 system requires a shear force for mesophase ordering to be observed using X-ray diffraction. However, TMS:P65 and TMS:P123 form well structured LC mesophases. Depending on the salt/Pluronic mole ratio, hexagonal LC mesophases are observed in the TMS:P65 systems and cubic and tetragonal LC mesophases in the TMS:P123 systems. The LC mesophase in the water/salt/Pluronic system is sensitive to the concentration of free (H(2)O) and coordinated water (M-OH(2)) molecules and demonstrates structural changes. As the free water is evaporated from the H(2)O:TMS:Pluronic LC mesophase (ternary mixture), the nitrate ion remains free in the media. However, complete evaporation of the free water molecules enforces the coordination of the nitrate ion to the metal ion in all TMS:Pluronic systems.     

Synthesis of new aryl(hetaryl)-substituted tandospirone analogues with potential anxiolytic activity via reductive Heck type hydroarylations

Tandospirone (I), developed as an anxiolytic drug, is an aryl-piperazine compound that binds to both 5-HT_1A and dopamine D4 receptors. Palladium-catalysed hydroarylation reactions of tandospirone analogues containing an oxygen bridge and 3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl or 2,3-dichlorophenyl groups were studied in order to find a new stereoselective access to a series of new exo-aryl(hetaryl)-substituted derivatives with potential biological activity.     

Electrochemistry and electrogenerated chemiluminescence of a spirobifluorene-based donor (triphenylamine)-acceptor (2,1,3-benzothiadiazole) molecule and its organic nanoparticles

A new D-A-π-A-D molecule (Spiro-BTA) containing two 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (BTA) as the acceptor (A) and triphenylamine as the donor (D) bridged by a spirobifluorene moiety has been synthesized. The novel D-A molecule shows intense red emission (612 nm) with a high PL quantum yield (Φ(PL) = 0.51) in a solid film. A cyclic voltammogram of Spiro-BTA in 1:2 MeCN:benzene/0.1 M Bu(4)NPF(6) shows two reversible oxidation waves and one reversible reduction wave. The first oxidation wave and reduction wave were assigned as two successive electron transfer peaks separated by ～50 mV related to the oxidation of the two noninteracting donors and the reduction of the two noninteracting acceptors, respectively. Electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) of Spiro-BTA upon cyclic oxidation and reduction in MeCN:benzene 1:2 shows a very bright and stable red emission that could be seen in a well-lit room. Using a reprecipitation method, well-dispersed organic nanoparticles (NPs) of the Spiro-BTA were prepared in aqueous solution. The nanoparticles were analyzed by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), yielding a NP size (without surfactant) of 130 ± 20 nm, while with surfactant, 100 ± 20 nm. Bathochromic shifts of absorption spectra (～16 ± 2 nm), as compared to that of the dissolved Spiro-BTA in THF, were observed for both NPs in water and as a thin film. While blue shifts (14 ± 2 nm) were observed for the photoluminescence (PL). The PL intensity of the Spiro-BTA nanoparticles was slightly enhanced (Φ(PL) of nanoparticles in water = 48%) over that of the dissolved Spiro-BTA in THF. The ECL of the organic Spiro-BTA nanoparticles in aqueous solution could be observed upon oxidation with tri-n-propylamine as a coreactant.     

Synthesis of arylated anthraquinones by site-selective Suzuki–Miyaura reactions of the bis(triflates) of 1,3-di(hydroxy)anthraquinones

Arylated anthraquinones were prepared by Suzuki–Miyaura reactions of the bis(triflates) of various 1,3-(dihydroxy)anthraquinones. While the reactions of the bis(triflates) of parent 1,3-(dihydroxy)anthraquinone and of 2-chloro-1,3-di(hydroxy)anthraquinone proceeded with very good site-selectivity, the corresponding reactions of the bis(triflate) of 2-fluoro-1,3-diarylanthraquinones were not site-selective, which was explained based on the π-donating effect of the fluorine atom.
