The oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones with N‐bromosuccinimide in polyethylene glycol: an experimental and theoretical study

Oxidation of aliphatic and aromatic alcohols has been studied by using N‐bromosuccinimide (NBS) as oxidant and polyethylene glycol (PEG) as reaction medium under mild reaction conditions. Temperature and solvent effect are studied. Theoretical study is also done with the Gaussian 98 suite of program and the calculation results are in good accordance with the experimental outcome. This system offers a very clean, convenient, environmentally benign method for the oxidation of alcohols. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Implementing remote controlled-NOT gates and entanglement swapping via geometric phase gates in ion-trap systems

We propose a scheme for the implementation of remote controlled-NOT gates and entanglement swapping via geometric phase gates in ion-trap systems. The proposed scheme uses the two ground states of the A-type ions as memory instead of the vibrational mode. And the system is robust against the spontaneous radiation and the dephasing.     

光束漂移的莫尔条纹检测原理

针对大气湍流光束漂移，设计了一套使用莫尔条纹进行检测的系统，该系统具有检测微小长度和角度的特点，它是将光束漂移的微小角度借助条纹的方式进行放大。分析大气湍流条件下可能获得的最大条纹宽度，然后将条纹宽度和现有较好的CCD分辨率作比较。在CCD分辨率不足的情况下，采用莫尔条纹细分技术，通过适当的电路，将条纹的光信号转换成电信号，使相位变化转换为脉宽的变化，并在形成的方波中内插高频脉冲，通过测量脉冲数目可进一步实现高倍率细分，从而达到较高的分辨率，理论上系统的检测精度可达到0.025μrad。     

Optimal synchronizability of networks

We numerically investigate how to enhance synchronizability of coupled identical oscillators in complex networks with research focus on the roles of the high level of clustering for a given heterogeneity in the degree distribution. By using the edge-exchange method with the fixed degree sequence, we first directly maximize synchronizability measured by the eigenratio of the coupling matrix, through the use of the so-called memory tabu search algorithm developed in applied mathematics. The resulting optimal network, which turns out to be weakly disassortative, is observed to exhibit a small modularity. More importantly, it is clearly revealed that the optimally synchronizable network for a given degree sequence shows a very low level of clustering, containing much fewer small-size loops than the original network. We then use the clustering coefficient as an object function to be reduced during the edge exchanges, and find it a very efficient way to enhance synchronizability. We thus conclude that under the condition of a given degree heterogeneity, the clustering plays a very important role in the network synchronization.     

Simple scheme for preparing W states and cloning via adiabatic passage in ion-trap systems

We propose a simple protocol for the generation of W states and the implementation of phase-covariant cloning and anticloning machines via adiabatic passage in ion-trap system. In the present scheme, the system state evolves in the dark space during the whole procedure. We only use the two-level ions to act as memory and do not require the transfer quantum information from ions to the vibrational mode, which makes the system simple and robust against decoherence. Moreover, the proposal may be feasible based on current technologies.     

Convergence of the Gradient Projection Method for Generalized Convex Minimization

This paper develops convergence theory of the gradient projection method by Calamai and Moré (Math. Programming, vol. 39, 93–116, 1987) which, for minimizing a continuously differentiable optimization problem min{f(x) : x } where is a nonempty closed convex set, generates a sequence x_k+1 = P(x_k – _k f(x_k)) where the stepsize _k > 0 is chosen suitably. It is shown that, when f(x) is a pseudo-convex (quasi-convex) function, this method has strong convergence results: either x_k x^* and x^* is a minimizer (stationary point); or x_k arg min{f(x) : x } = , and f(x_k) inf{f(x) : x }.

Derivations and Automorphisms of the Positive Part of the Two-parameter Quantum Group Ur,s(B3)

We compute the derivations of the positive part of the two-parameter quantum group U_(r,s)(B_3) and show that the Hochschild cohomology group of degree 1 of this algebra is a threedimensional vector space over the base field C. We also compute the groups of(Hopf) algebra automorphisms of the augmented two-parameter quantized enveloping algebra ?_(r,s)~(≥0)(B_3).
