Computational design and screening of promising energetic materials: Novel azobis(tetrazoles) with ten catenated nitrogen atoms chain

Density functional theory methods were used to study on 2 N10 compounds, 1,1′‐azobis(tetrazole) and 1,1′‐azobis(5‐methyltetrazole). We systematically investigated 10 novel substituted azobis(tetrazoles) with 10 catenated nitrogen atoms and various energetic groups (–CF₃ 1 , –C(NO₂)₃ 3 , –N₃ 5 , –NH₂ 6 , –NHNH₂ 7 , –NHNO₂ 8 , –NO₂ 9 , –OCH₃ 10 , –OH 11 , –ONO₂ 12 ). The optimized geometry, frontier molecular orbitals, electrostatic potential, Infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum were calculated for inspecting the molecular structure and stability as well as chemical reactivity. The effects of different substituents on the density, enthalpy of formation, heat of explosion, detonation velocity and pressure, and sensitivity of the azobis(tetrazole) derivatives have been investigated. Compound 9 with nitro was found to have remarkable detonation performances (D = 9.61 km/s, P = 42.14 GPa), which are close to the excellent explosive CL‐20. Results show that compounds 1 , 3 , 4 , 7 , 9 , 11, and 12 have high potential to replace RDX. It is surprising that compounds 1 , 3 , 9, and 12 possess better energetic properties than HMX. These novel substituted azobis(tetrazoles) with unique N10 structure may be promising candidates of HEDMs with outstanding performance and acceptable sensitivities.     

基于高阶累积量矩阵组正交联合对角化的高分辨方位估计方法

该文提出了一种基于高阶累积量矩阵组正交联合对角化的高分辨方位估计方法。该方法构造了一组高阶累积量矩阵共同来辨识阵列流型矩阵的列空间,进而进行DOA估计。并通过对高阶累积量矩阵组进行联合对角化,得到联合对角化矩阵和对角化后的矩阵组,并重新定义了空间谱。新方法可以处理相干声源,适用于有色噪声环境,且较仅使用单个高阶累积量矩阵的算法具有更高的分辨力,更低的均方根误差和更高的鲁棒性。

Total Resource Requirements‐Based Priority Queuing Scheme for DS/CDMA Cellular Networks

We propose and analyze a priority queuing scheme that gives priority in the same class of calls according to their total resource requirements (TRRs). The proposed scheme gives a higher priority to the calls that have a lower TRR over the calls that have a higher TRR. The numerical results show that the proposed priority queuing scheme provides better performance than the traditional queuing schemes in call blocking probability.

Channel characterization of EM waves propagation at MHz frequency through seawater

Electromagnetic (EM) communication is considered as a suitable physical layer choice for SeaWater. SeaWater EM communication presents advantages over acoustic and optical in shallow water and deep oceans.Theoretical analysis of EM wave propagation in SeaWater helps us to estimate maximum distance covered in SeaWater at multiple depth points up to 5500 m. Mathematics of EM propagation in SeaWater (conducting medium) shows dependence on f (Hz), ? (F/m), and σ(S/m) of transmission medium. This paper presents channel characteristics of EM waves propagation at 1 to 20 MHz frequency through SeaWater based on real time data of SeaWater T (C°) and S(ppt) for averaged decades from 1955 to 2012 up to 5500 m.We estimated SeaWater σ (S/m), ?_r (F/m) (using Stogryns model), α (Np/m) (using Helmholtz model), Z(ohms), f_T(Hz), v_p(m/second), τ(second), and P_r(dBm) (using Maxwell equations and Friis law). Analysis of these parameters against multiple depths of SeaWater and frequencies shows that we can not assume constant σ (S/m) (4), ?_r (F/m) (81), f_T (Hz) (888 MHz),v_p(m/second) (3.33?10⁷), and τ (second) (8.2?10^?12) for SeaWater. Estimated P_r(dBm) helped us to analyze that for lower transmission frequencies (means higher ) and for lower σ(S/m), P_r(dBm) decays linearly. While for higher frequencies (means lower ) and for higher σ(S/m), P_r(dBm) faces sudden exponential decay. That negates sudden exponential delay (in general) of P_r(dBm) in SeaWater; it was only possible by assuming constant SeaWater ?_r (F/m) and σ(S/m). Our paper illustrates radio frequency communication for SeaWater in 1 to 20 MHz range and also provides comprehensive performance analysis using MATLAB simulation tool.

Mesoscale constitutive modeling of magnetic dispersions: material functions for shear flows

We recently developed a constitutive model for magnetic dispersions by modeling the magnetic particles as rigid dumbbells dispersed in a solvent. The theory yielded a constitutive equation in which the stress tensor could be expressed as a function of the velocity gradient, an orientational order tensor, S, an average alignment vector, J, and any imposed external magnetic field, H. The constitutive equation is used here to predict material functions for steady shear flow (shear-rate dependent viscosity and first normal stress coefficient) as well as those for unsteady shear flows (stress growth upon inception of steady shear and small-amplitude oscillatory shear). The importance of effects of concentration, equilibrium nematic ordering in the dispersion, and anisotropy in the hydrodynamic drag are emphasized. Comparisons with available experimental data on viscosity for magnetic inks under steady shear flow and inception of steady shear flow show reasonably good agreement.     

Catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation in a room temperature ionic liquid using chiral Rh-complex of ionic liquid grafted 1,4-bisphosphine ligand

Introduction of imidazolium ionic liquid pattern to the catalyst not only avoided catalyst leaching but also increased the stability of catalyst in ionic liquid, and thus, the Rh-complex of 1,4-bisphosphine bearing two imidazolium salt moieties was successfully immobilized in an ionic liquid and reused several times for the hydrogenation of an enamide without significant loss of catalytic efficiency.
