Amplified low-repetition-rate fs pulsewidth measuring and DLA caused pulse broadening

Amplified low-repetition-rate fs pulse is generated with dye laser amplifier(DLA). The pulsewidth is measured with a computer-aided autocorrelator and the fs pulsewidth broadening caused by the dispersion of the DLA is analyzed. Furthermore, the autocorrelator introduced in this paper could be used as a low scanning autocorrelator to measure high-repetition-rate pulsewidth.

Robust QoS Control for Single Carrier PMP Mode IEEE 802.16 Systems

The IEEE 802.16 WirelessMAN standard provides a comprehensive quality-of-service (QoS) control structure to enable flow isolation and service differentiation over the common wireless network interface. By specifying a particular set of service parameters, the media access control (MAC) mechanisms defined in the standard are able to offer predefined QoS provisioning on a per-connection basis. However, the design of efficient, flexible, and yet robust MAC scheduling algorithms for such QoS provisioning still remains an open topic. This paper proposes a new QoS control scheme for single-carrier point-to-multipoint mode wireless metropolitan area network (WirelessMAN) systems, which enables the predefined service parameters to control the service provided to each uplink and downlink connection. By MAC-PHY cross-layer resource allocation, the proposed scheme is robust against particular wireless link degradation. Detailed simulation experiments are presented to study the performance and to validate the effectiveness of the proposed QoS control scheme.

Crystalline,Few-layer 2D Materials via Surfactant-monolayer-assisted Interfacial Synthesis

Prof. FENG Xinliang and coworkers from Dresden University of Technology reported surfactant-monolayer-assisted interfacial synthesis(SMAIS) as a general strategy for the controlled synthesis of few-layer 2D polymers to realize high crystallinity with large domain. The two-dimensional polyamide(Nature Chemistry, doi.org/10.1038/s41557-019-0327-5) and quasi-two-dimensional polyaniline(Nature Communication, doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-11921-3) thin films were successfully obtained with the help of surfactants and fully characterized by optical microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, electron diffraction and atomic force microscopy.     

Palladium‐Catalyzed Intermolecular Acylation of Aryl Diazoesters with ortho‐Bromobenzaldehydes

In this work, we describe a palladium‐catalyzed intermolecular O acylation of α‐diazoesters with ortho‐bromobenzaldehydes. The C(sp²)?H bond activation of the aldehyde is enabled by migratory insertion of a palladium carbene intermediate. The diazoesters act as modular three‐atom units to build up key seven‐membered palladacycles, which are transformed into a variety of isocoumarin derivatives upon reductive elimination. Mechanistic experiments and DFT calculations provide insight into the reaction pathway.     

Performance analysis and hardware implementation of a nearly optimal buffer management scheme for high‐performance shared‐memory switches

Burst traffic is a common traffic pattern in modern IP networks, and it may lead to the unfairness problem and seriously degrade the performance of switches and routers. From the perspective of switching mechanism, the majority of commercial switches adopt the on‐chip shared‐memory switching architecture, and high‐speed packet buffer with efficient queue management is required to deal with the unfairness and congestion problem. In this paper, the performance of a shared‐private buffer management scheme is analyzed in detail. In the proposed scheme, the total memory space is split into shared area and private area. Each output port has a private memory area that cannot be used by other ports. The shared area is completely shared among all output ports. A theoretical queuing model of the proposed scheme is formulated, and closed‐form formulas for multiple performance parameters are derived. Through the numerical studies, we demonstrate that a nearly optimal buffer partition policy can be obtained by setting an equally small amount of private area for each queue. This work is validated by simulations as well as hardware experiments. Software simulations show that the proposed scheme performs better than existing methods, and packet dropping caused by burst traffic can be significantly reduced. Besides, a prototype of the buffer management module is implemented and evaluated in field programmable gate array platform. The evaluation shows that the proposed scheme can ensure the efficiency and fairness while keeping a high throughput in real workload.     

Nanosecond electric pulse-induced calcium entry into chromaffin cells

Electrically excitable bovine adrenal chromaffin cells were exposed to nanosecond duration electric pulses at field intensities ranging from 2 MV/m to 8 MV/m and intracellular calcium levels ([Ca(2+)](i)) monitored in real time by fluorescence imaging of cells loaded with Calcium Green. A single 4 ns, 8 MV/m pulse produced a rapid, short-lived increase in [Ca(2+)](i), with the magnitude of the calcium response depending on the intensity of the electric field. Multiple pulses failed to produce a greater calcium response than a single pulse, and a short refractory period was required between pulses before another maximal increase in [Ca(2+)](i) could be triggered. The pulse-induced rise in [Ca(2+)](i) was not affected by depleting intracellular calcium stores with caffeine or thapsigargin but was completely prevented by the presence of EGTA, Co(2+), or the L-type calcium channel blocker nitrendipine in the extracellular medium. Thus, a single nanosecond pulse is sufficient to elicit a rise in [Ca(2+)](i) that involves entry of calcium via L-type calcium channels.     

On the properties of a primitive semiclassical surface hopping propagator for nonadiabatic quantum dynamics

A previously developed nonadiabatic semiclassical surface hopping propagator [M. F. Herman J. Chem. Phys. 103, 8081 (1995)] is further studied. The propagator has been shown to satisfy the time-dependent Schrodinger equation (TDSE) through order h, and the O(h2) terms are treated as small errors, consistent with standard semiclassical analysis. Energy is conserved at each hopping point and the change in momentum accompanying each hop is parallel to the direction of the nonadiabatic coupling vector resulting in both transmission and reflection types of hops. Quantum mechanical analysis and numerical calculations presented in this paper show that the h2 terms involving the interstate coupling functions have significant effects on the quantum transition probabilities. Motivated by these data, the h2 terms are analyzed for the nonadiabatic semiclassical propagator. It is shown that the propagator can satisfy the TDSE for multidimensional systems by including another type of nonclassical trajectories that reflect on the same surfaces. This h2 analysis gives three conditions for these three types of trajectories so that their coefficients are uniquely determined. Besides the nonadiabatic semiclassical propagator, a numerically useful quantum propagator in the adiabatic representation is developed to describe nonadiabatic transitions.
