Impulsive stabilization and synchronization of a class of chaotic delay systems

The problems of control and synchronization of a class of chaotic systems with time delay via the impulsive control approach are investigated. Based on the Lyapunov-like stability theory for impulsive functional differential equations, several sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee chaos control and synchronization. Furthermore, we address the chaos quasisynchronization in the presence of single-parameter mismatch. Several illustrated examples are also given to show the effectiveness of the proposed methods.     

Electronic structure of the water-oxidation catalyst [(bpy)2(OHx)RuORu(OHy)(bpy)2]z+: weak coupling between the metal centers is preferred over strong coupling

High-level DFT calculations indicate that the singlet ground state of the water-oxidizing blue Ru dimer [(bpy)2(OH2)RuIIIORuIII(OH2)(bpy)2]4+ is not due to a strong coupling of the excess electrons from each of the low-spin d5 RuIII centers across the Ru-O-Ru moiety, as has been assumed to date. Instead, broken symmetry orbital calculations suggest that a weak antiferromagnetically (AF) coupled singlet state is energetically more favorable by 10-35 kcal/mol. Experimentally observed redox potentials can only be reproduced if antiferromagnetic coupling is invoked.

Soft bacterial polyester‐based shape memory nanocomposites featuring reconfigurable nanostructure

In this work, a novel soft shape memory polymer nanocomposite derived from a bacterial medium‐chain‐length polyhydroxyalkanoate, poly(3‐hydroxyoctanoate‐co‐3‐hydroxyundecenoate) (PHOU), used to form a covalent network grafted with polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS), a crystallizable inorganic–organic hybrid nanofiller, was prepared. The PHOU–POSS nanocomposite, PHOU–POSSw‐net [w (= POSS content, wt %) = 0, 20, 25, 30, and 38], is a completely amorphous elastomer (w ≤ 20) or contains POSS nanocrystals embedded in the amorphous PHOU matrix (w ≥ 25). The hybrid nanostructure of PHOU–POSSw‐net (w ≥ 25) is featured by its reconfigurability, based on aggregation and disaggregation of POSS covalently connected to the PHOU network, which enables excellent shape fixing and recovery. Furthermore, it exhibits soft and elastomeric mechanical properties even in the fixed state. Taking advantage of the shape memory ability as well as the softness in the fixed state, we demonstrate microscale dynamic surface topography of PHOU–POSSw‐net. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A fast,sensitive, and high‐throughput method for the simultaneous quantitation of three ellagitannins from Euphorbiae pekinensis Radix in rat plasma by ultra‐HPLC–MS/MS

A fast, sensitive, and high‐throughput ultra‐HPLC–MS/MS method has been developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of three main active constituents of Euphorbiae pekinensis Radix in rat plasma. After addition of the internal standard, plasma samples were extracted by liquid–liquid extraction with ethyl acetate/isopropanol (1:1, v/v) and separated on a CAPCELL PAK C₁₈ column (100 × 2.0 mm, 2 μm, Shiseido, Japan), using a gradient mobile phase system of methanol/water. The detection of the analytes was performed on a 4000Q UHPLC–MS/MS system with turbo ion spray source in the negative ion and multiple reaction‐monitoring mode. The linear range was 1.0–1000 ng/mL for 3,3′‐di‐O‐methyl ellagic acid‐4′‐O‐β‐d ‐glucopyranoside (i), 1.5–1500 ng/mL for 3,3′‐di‐O‐methyl ellagic acid‐4′‐O‐β‐d ‐xylopyranoside (ii), and 5.0–5000 ng/mL for 3,3′‐di‐O‐methyl ellagic acid (iii). The intra‐ and interday precision and accuracy of all the analytes were within 15%. The extraction recoveries of the three analytes and internal standard from plasma were all more than 80%. The validated method was first successfully applied to the evaluation of pharmacokinetic parameters of compounds 1 , 2 , and 3 in rat plasma after intragastric administration of the Euphorbiae pekinensis Radix extract.     

聚苯乙烯微球中荧光共振能量转移的研究

采用分散共聚合法制备了单分散的负载有1,8-萘酰亚胺染料的荧光微球。利用供体和受体染料间的荧光共振能量转移,荧光微球在激发供体染料时同时实现了供体和受体染料的双重荧光发射信号。结果表明:当微球中染料的浓度相对较低(质量分数小于0.2%)时,荧光共振能量就可以有效地发生转移。聚合过程中增加供体或受体染料的浓度都会提高能量转移效率,这是浓度增加使得染料分子间距离缩短造成的。通过调整微球中染料浓度可以获得不同能量转移效率、具有荧光编码信号的系列荧光微球。这类粒径均一的荧光微球在多元生物分析中有潜在的应用价值。     

Local stability and attractive basin of Cohen–Grossberg neural networks

The local stability analysis of a neural network is essential in evaluating the performance of this network when it acts as associative memories. This paper addresses the local stability of the Cohen–Grossberg neural networks (CGNNs). A sufficient condition for the local exponential stability of an equilibrium point is presented, and the size of the attractive basin of a locally exponentially stable equilibrium is estimated. The proposed condition and estimate are easily checkable and applicable, because they are phrased only in terms of the network parameters, the nonlinearities of the neurons, and the relevant equilibrium point. To our knowledge, this is the first time that such an estimate for CGNNs has been presented. The utility of our results is illustrated via a numerical example.
