Existence and stability of periodic solutions of high-order Hopfield neural networks with impulses and delays

By using the continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory and constructing suitable Lyapunov functions, the global exponential stability and periodicity are investigated for a class of delayed high-order Hopfield neural networks (HHNNs) with impulses, which are new and complement previously known results. Finally, an example with numerical simulation is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method and results. The numerical simulation shows that our models can occur in many forms of complexities including periodic oscillation and the Gui chaotic strange attractor.     

Terpenoids from Roots of Chloranthus spicatus

Five new terpenoids, including four eudesmane‐type sesquiterpenoids, 1 – 4 , and one labdane‐type diterpenoid, 6 , together with ten known compounds, were isolated from the roots of Chloranthus spicatus. The structures and their relative configurations were mainly established by 1D‐ and 2D‐NMR spectra, and MS experiments.     

Neolignans and Caffeoyl Derivatives from Selaginella moellendorffii

Ten new phenolic compounds including the six neolignans 1 – 3 and 6 – 8 and four caffeoyl derivatives, i.e., myo‐inositol 1‐caffeate ( 9 ), myo‐inositol 6‐caffeate ( 10 ), myo‐inositol 5‐caffeate ( 11 ), and paucine 3′‐β‐D ‐glucopyranoside ( 12 ) were isolated from the whole plants of Selaginella moellendorffii (caffeic acid=3‐(3,4‐dihydroxyphenyl)prop‐2‐enoic acid). Their structures were established by spectroscopic and chemical methods.     

Synthesis,Structures, and Properties of Fused Thiophenes for Organic Field‐Effect Transistors

A series of fused thiophenes composed of fused α‐oligothiophene units as building blocks, end‐capped with either styrene or 1‐pentyl‐4‐vinylbenzene groups, has been synthesized through Stille coupling reactions. The compounds have been fully characterized by means of ¹H NMR spectrometry, high‐resolution mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis. The molecules present a trans–trans configuration between their double bonds, which has been verified and confirmed by Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. The X‐ray crystal structures showed π–π overlap and sulfur–sulfur interactions between the adjacent molecules. The decomposition temperatures were all found to be above 300 °C, indicating that compounds of this series possess excellent thermal stability. The fact that no phase transition occurs at low temperature indicates that they should be well‐suited for application in devices. Moreover, they possess low HOMO energy levels, based on cyclic voltammetry measurements, and suitable energy gaps, as determined from their thin‐film UV/Vis spectra. Thin‐film X‐ray diffraction analysis and atomic force microscopy revealed high crystallinity on supporting substrates. In addition, as the substrate temperature has a significant influence on the morphology and the degree of crystallinity, the device performance could be optimized by varying the substrate temperature. These materials were found to exhibit optimal field‐effect performance, with a mobility of 0.17 cm² V^?1 s^?1 and an on/off ratio of 10⁵, at a substrate temperature of 70 °C.     

Two New Diterpene Alkaloids from the Roots of Spiraea japonica var. Acuta

Spiraea japonica L. (Rosaceae) is widely distributed in Yunnan Provence, P. R. China. Previous chemical investigations on S. japonica and its varieties have led to the report of 7 new atisane-type diterpenoids and 38 new diterpene alkaloids of atisine- and hetisine-type1-11. This paper describes the isolation and structure elucidation of two new diterpene alkaloids named spiratines A and B (1-2). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR experiments (HMQC, HMBC, 1…

Beating patterns in the oscillatory magnetoresistance of an AlGaN/GaN heterostructure

Magneto-transport measurements have been carried out on a modulation-doped Al_0.22Ga_0.78N/GaN heterostructure in a temperature range between 1.5 and 25 K with a rather high carrier density, 1.1×10¹³ cm⁻². Striking beating patterns in magnetoresistance vs magnetic field are observed in the vicinity of a special temperature. Theoretical simulation is performed and the comparison between numerical simulations and the experimental data reveals that the beating patterns are due to the interference of the magneto-intersubband scattering and the SdH oscillator of first subband.
