Thermal and pH‐sensitive gold nanoparticles from H‐shaped block copolymers of (PNIPAM/PDMAEMA)‐b‐PEG‐b‐(PNIPAM/PDMAEMA)

Well‐defined H‐shaped pentablock copolymers composed of poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM), poly(N,N‐dimethylaminoethylacrylamide) (PDMAEMA), and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) with the chain architecture of (A/B)‐b‐C‐b‐(A/B) were synthesized by the combination of single‐electron‐transfer living radical polymerization, atom‐transfer radical polymerization, and click chemistry. Single‐electron‐transfer living radical polymerization of NIPAM using α,ω azide‐capped PEG macroinitiator resulted in PNIPAM‐b‐PEG‐b‐PNIPAM with azide groups at the block joints. Atom‐transfer radical polymerization of DMAEMA initiated by propargyl 2‐chloropropionate gave out α‐capped alkyne‐PDMAEMA. The H‐shaped copolymers were finally obtained by the click reaction between PNIPAM‐b‐PEG‐b‐PNIPAM and alkyne‐PDMAEMA. These copolymers were used to prepare stable colloidal gold nanoparticles (GNPs) in aqueous solution without any external reducing agent. The formation of GNPs was affected by the length of PDMAEMA block, the feed ratio of the copolymer to HAuCl₄, and the pH value. The surface plasmon absorbance of these obtained GNPs also exhibited pH and thermal dependence because of the existence of PNIAPM and PDAMEMA blocks. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Multidimensional Pattern Recognition and Classification of White Blood Cells Using Support Vector Machines

This study introduces a new algorithm to optimize the pattern recognition of different white blood cell types in flow cytometry. The behavior of parametric data clusters in a multidimensional space is analyzed using the learning system known as Support Vector Machines (SVM). Beckman‐Coulter Corporation supplied flow cytometry data of numerous patients to be used as training and testing sets for the algorithm. Subsequently, the characteristics of the cells provided in these sets were used to train a SVM based classifier. The objective in developing this algorithm was to identify the category of a given blood sample and provide information to medical doctors in the form of diagnostic references for a specific disease state, lymphocytic leukemia. With the application of the hypothesis space, the learning bias and the learning algorithm, the SVM classifier was successfully trained to evaluate misclassification ratios in flow cytometry data in an effort to recognize abnormal blood cell patterns and address the ubiquitous problem of data overlap through the use of the maximal margin classifier.     

Ⅱ型裂纹疲劳扩展中超载行为的研究

利用铝合金ＬＹ１２ＣＺ制十字型试样进行Ⅱ型裂纹的疲劳扩展试验，施加若干次短瞬的Ⅱ型超载。发现Ⅱ型裂纹的超载行为与Ⅰ型裂纹的不同，裂纹的扩展速率可几倍于未超载时相同应力强度因子幅度下的扩展速率；而且超载后的短瞬期间，裂纹在塑性区内仍保持较快的速率扩展。试验研究表明：Ⅱ型超载和Ⅰ型超载也许分别受不同的机制控制；它更类似于Ⅲ型超载。

Single-frequency terahertz source pumped by Q-switched fiber lasers based on difference-frequency generation in GaSe crystal

We demonstrate a unique terahertz (THz) source that is compact, utilizes recently developed all-fiber Q-switched lasers, and is based on difference-frequency generation in a GaSe crystal. A single piezo simultaneously Q switched the two fiber lasers by using stress-induced birefringence, to achieve the temporal overlap of pulses from the two fiber lasers. These correlated pulses then combine in the GaSe crystal to produce coherent and highly monochromatic THz pulses. The peak power for this THz source can reach 0.53 mW, corresponding to an average power of 0.43 microW and a conversion efficiency of 4.75 x 10(-7). The estimated linewidth of this THz source can be as narrow as approximately 35 MHz or 1.17 x 10(-3) cm(-1).     

Highly efficient high-power thulium-doped germanate glass fiber laser

A 64 W fiber laser at 1.9 microm with a slope efficiency of 68% with respect to the launching pump power at 800 nm was demonstrated in a one-end pump configuration using a piece of 20 cm long newly developed thulium-doped germanate glass double-cladding single-mode fiber. A quantum efficiency of 1.8 was achieved. An output laser power of 104 W at 1.9 microm was demonstrated from a piece of 40 cm long fiber with a dual-end pump configuration.     

Enantioselective Synthesis of Quaternary Carbon Stereocenters: Addition of 3‐Substituted Oxindoles to Vinyl Sulfone Catalyzed by Pentanidiums

A pentanidium‐catalyzed highly enantioselective conjugate addition of 3‐alkyloxindoles to phenyl vinyl sulfone has been demonstrated. This approach allows the construction of 3,3‐dialkyl‐substituted oxindole frameworks with high yield and excellent enantioselectivity (up to 99 %) under simple phase‐transfer conditions. A variety of oxindoles bearing all‐carbon quaternary stereogenic centers were obtained in the presence of 0.25 mol % pentanidium. Meanwhile, practicality was illustrated by a gram‐scale asymmetric synthesis of two 3,3‐dialkyl‐substituted oxindoles. The resulting adduct can be smoothly transformed to the natural product analogue in a short synthetic route.
