The local field effects in resonance Raman scattering Structural anisotropy studies in some nematic cyanophenyl derivatives

Abstract

Different methods for the determination of the local field anisotropy in liquid crystals are analysed and the problems resulting from their application are outlined. One such method, namely that based on the comparison of the polarization of resonance Raman scattering and absorption bands is studied in more detail. The method is applied to determine the structural anisotropy for the 4-n-pentyl-(4′-cyanophenyl) derivatives of benzene, cyclohexane and bicyclooctane. To account for the difference between the optical properties of the probe and of the solvent at the wavelength of the scattered light the local field factor is treated theoretically within the framework of an anisotropic continuous dielectric medium.     

CPT symmetry in honeycomb lattices and quantum brachistochrone problem

In this paper, we have provided a matrix Hamiltonian model for honeycomb lattices and subsequently obtained the dispersion relation. Furthermore, we have constructed the C operator for the given non-Hermitian Hamiltonian model. The quadratic surfaces are sketched and the quantum Brachistochrone problem is discussed for the given honeycomb lattice model.

An Information Hiding Algorithm Based on Bitmap Resource of Portable Executable File

An information hiding algorithm is proposed, which hides information by embedding secret data into the palette of bitmap resources of portable executable （PE） files. This algorithm has higher security than some traditional ones because of integrating secret data and bitmap resources together. Through analyzing the principle of bitmap resources parsing in an operating system and the layer of resource data in PE files, a safe and useful solution is presented to solve two problems that bitmap resources are incorrectly analyzed and other resources data are confused in the process of data embedding. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm are confirmed through computer experiments.     

LC Coupled with TOFMS for Metabonomics Study of Mini-pigs with Atherosclerosis

In this study, serum metabolic profiles of mini-pigs with atherosclerosis (AS) were analyzed by LC–TOFMS. Partial least-squares to latent structure-discriminant analysis and orthogonal projection to latent structure-discriminant analysis were used for group differentiation and selection of potential biomarkers. The mini-pig disease models were constructed by feeding a high-fat diet and inducing coronary injury, in accordance with the mechanism of AS pathogenesis. To characterize the development of AS, serum samples were collected and analyzed at two time points (two and ten weeks). Separate distinct clustering of results from normal and model mini-pigs could be observed for both the two and ten-week samples. With the development of AS, the metabolism of the model mini-pigs was more substantially disturbed. Major metabolites contributing to the discrimination were fatty acids, lysophosphatidylcholines, and bile acids. These potential biomarkers are related with inflammation, oxidative stress, and abnormal lipid and energy metabolism.
