Nickel and potassium co-modified β-Mo2C catalyst for CO conversion

Nickel and potassium co-medified β-Mo2C catalysts were prepared and used for CO hydrogenation reaction. The major products over β-Mo2C were C1-C4 hydrocarbons, only few alcohols were obtained. Addition of potassium resulted in remarkable selectivity shift from hydrocarbons to alcohols at the expense of CO conversion over β-Mo2C. Moreover, it was found that potassium enhanced the ability of chain propagation with a higher C2+OH production. Modified by nickel, β-Mo-2C showed a relatively high CO conversion, however, the products were similar to those of pure β-Mo2C. When co-modified by nickel and potassium,β-Mo2C exhibited high activity and selectivity towards mixed alcohols synthesis, and also the whole chain propagation to produce alcohols especially for the stage of C1OH to C2OH was remarkably enhanced. It was concluded that the Ni and K had, to some extent, synergistic effect on CO conversion.     

Two new benzaldehyde derivatives from mangrove endophytic fungus (No. ZZF 32)

Two new benzaldehyde derivatives, 6-ethyl-2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-3-methylbenzaldehyde (1), 6-ethyl-2,4-dihydroxy-3-methylbenzaldehyde (2), together with 2, 4-dihydroxy-3,6-dimethylbenzaldehyde (3) were isolated from mangrove fungus (No. ZZF 32#) from the South China Sea. The structures of compounds 1 and 2 were established by comprehensive analysis of the spectral data, especially 2D NMR spectral results.

A new class of penalized NCP-functions and its properties

In this paper, we consider a class of penalized NCP-functions, which includes several existing well-known NCP-functions as special cases. The merit function induced by this class of NCP-functions is shown to have bounded level sets and provide error bounds under mild conditions. A derivative free algorithm is also proposed, its global convergence is proved and numerical performance compared with those based on some existing NCP-functions is reported.     

Raman scattering of high-temperature phase transition in KH2PO4

Raman scattering was applied to study the high-temperature phase transition (near 175°C) in KH₂PO₄. Drastic temperature-dependent changes were observed to take place in the normal modes of B₁ symmetry between 1000–3400 cm^?1. The disintegration of the dominant broad feature near 2500 cm^?1 when temperature rises beyond 150°C suggests that the alteration of the hydrogen-bond network is closely connected with this high-temperature phase transition.     

Wave-coupling theory of linear electro-optic effect for ultrashort laser pulses

A wave-coupling theory of linear electro-optic (EO) effect for ultrashort laser pulses has been developed. As one of its applications, the linear EO effect of ultrashort Gaussian pulses propagating in LiNbO₃ crystal is demonstrated, with the intensity lower than the damage threshold. It is found that the EO effect is sensitive to both the azimuth angle and the polar angle of wave vector of light. And the larger the applied electric field, the shorter the crystal used for optimization of EO coupling is. The numerical results show that, with the duration of input pulse changing from 150 fs to 5 fs, the durations of output pulses are broadened due to the group-velocity dispersion, as well as the first- and second-order refractive dispersion. In addition, when input pulse duration is larger than 20 fs, in contrast with zero chirp, the output durations can be slightly compressed if a positive chirp input pulse is used. The validities of slowly varying amplitude approximation and continuous wave approximation are also discussed. The influence of self-phase modulation and cross-phase modulation on the EO effect is also discussed briefly.     

Anti-inflammatory polyketides from the mangrove-derived fungus Ascomycota sp. SK2YWS-L

A pair of novel 2,3-diaryl indone derivatives (+)- and (?)-ascomindone D [(+)-1 and (?)-1, respectively], as well as two new prenylated polyketides ascomfurans C (2) and ascomarugosin A (3) were obtained from the culture of a mangrove endophytic fungus Ascomycota sp. SK2YWS-L together with three known compounds (4–6). The enantiomers (+)-1 and (?)-1 were purified through chiral HPLC separation, which represented the first example of resolving 2,3-diaryl indone atropisomers in natural products. The structures of the new compounds were determined on the basis of interpretation of spectroscopic data including X-ray diffractions and the absolute configurations of (+)-1 and (?)-1 were elucidated by ECD calculations. The biosynthesis pathway was proposed. In the anti-inflammatory assay, (+)-1 and (?)-1 exhibited potential anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting against the production of nitric oxide (NO) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 246.7 mouse macrophages with the IC₅₀ values of 17.0 and 17.1 μM, respectively.

气体开关前沿陡化的实验研究

气体开关是脉冲功率技术中广泛应用的关键部件之一,高功率、高性能气体开关的技术研究及设计具有重要意义,陡化前沿是开关技术研究的重要内容。分析了气体开关的击穿机理和击穿通道的分布规律。对气体开关充分老练,开关击穿点和击穿通道将相对稳定,实验研究了开关间距和电场对脉冲前沿的影响。击穿电场较低时,减小开关间距有利于陡化脉冲前沿;击穿电场较大时（大于180 kV/cm）,开关间隙（电感）对输出脉冲前沿的影响减弱,气体开关的击穿电场成为影响输出脉冲前沿的关键因素。研究结果表明,增大开关的击穿场强,是陡化开关脉冲前沿的有效途径。
