Reprint of: Recent advances in the functionalization of allenes via radical process

This review is focused on the recent advances in the functionalization of allenes via radical process. Different radical partners including carbon radicals and heteroatom radicals are discussed in the reactions of allenes. Generally, the radical formed in situ would attack the allene at the central carbon leading to allyl radical intermediate. However, the formation of alkenyl radical intermediate from allene could be observed as well in some cases with high regioselectivity and stereoselectivity.     

对数饱和非线性介质中的自洽多模高斯孤子解

通过解对数饱和非线性介质中光场满足的非线性薛定谔方程,得到一组厄米-高斯型的自洽多模解.在借鉴了R.G.Glauber的相干态理论的基础上,合理假设这组解在非线性介质中呈泊松分布,进而得到了在对数饱和非线性介质中存在高斯孤子的结论,并获得高斯孤子解、非线性系数与泊松参量三者之间的关系.该关系说明,若在介质中存在高斯孤子解,其非线性系数必须满足条件a≥1.当α=1,在介质中仅存在单模高斯孤子,其光斑尺寸必须满足的条件W=1/k n0/n2.在该条件下,以"束腰"注入介质中的高斯光束才可以在保持其光斑尺寸不变的情况下传输,否则光斑尺寸会存在一定的振荡.而振荡方式、振荡范围(表示光斑尺寸展宽或压缩及大小)与输入光束光斑尺寸及其一次导数有直接关系.     

Calculations of Photo-Ionization Cross Sections for Lithium Atoms

Photo-ionization cross sections for the ground and the ≤5 excited states of lithium atoms are calculated in the photoelectron energy ranging from threshold to 0.5 Rydberg. The wavefunctions for both the bound and continuum states are obtained by solving the SchrSdinger equation numerically in a symplectic scheme. Our results are in excellent agreement with the recent experimental measurements and in harmony with other theoretical calculations.     

Three-dimensional elliptic solvers for interface problems and applications

Second-order accurate elliptic solvers using Cartesian grids are presented for three-dimensional interface problems in which the coefficients, the source term, the solution and its normal flux may be discontinuous across an interface. One of our methods is designed for general interface problems with variable but discontinuous coefficient. The scheme preserves the discrete maximum principle using constrained optimization techniques. An algebraic multigrid solver is applied to solve the discrete system. The second method is designed for interface problems with piecewise constant coefficient. The method is based on the fast immersed interface method and a fast 3D Poisson solver. The second method has been modified to solve Helmholtz/Poisson equations on irregular domains. An application of our method to an inverse interface problem of shape identification is also presented. In this application, the level set method is applied to find the unknown surface iteratively.     

In-situ monitoring of cell-secreted lactate by electrochemiluminescence sensing under biomimetic microfluidic confinement

Cell migration proceeds in 3D matrices in vivo, which can naturally switch to distinct phenotypes for better invasion in confined microenvironments. The studies of important metabolites under confinement are extremely meaningful for comprehensive insights into cancer metastasis. The integration of cell confinement device and analytical techniques is a key point for in-situ analysis of significant metabolites in vitro.Herein, an electrochemiluminescence(ECL) sensing platform was designed for in-s...     

In-situ growth of hybrid NaTi8O13/NaTiO2 nanoribbons on layered MXene Ti3C2 as a competitive anode for high-performance sodium-ion batteries

In the work, we successfully explore a two-step hydrothermal method for scalable synthesis of the hybrid sodium titanate (NaTi₈O₁₃/NaTiO₂) nanoribbons well in-situ formed on the multi-layered MXene Ti₃C₂ (designed as NTO/Ti₃C₂). Benefiting from the inherent structural and componential superiorities, the resulted NTO/Ti₃C₂ composite exhibits long-duration cycling stability and superior rate behaviors when evaluated as a hybrid anode for advanced SIBs, which delivers a reversible and stable capacity of ∼82 mAh/g even after 1900 cycles at 2000 mA/g for SIBs.     

Oxidation of aromatic sulfides with molecular oxygen: Controllable synthesis of sulfoxides or sulfones

The recent development of selective oxidation of aromatic sulfides with molecular oxygen was highlighted. The sulfoxides and sulfones could be obtained by simply switching the reaction media, i.e., bis(2-butoxyethyl)ether (BBE) or poly(ethylene glycol)dimethyl ether (PEGDME). The application of the high-boiling-point polyether as an initiator and green media can eliminate the need of large quantities of additives and volatile solvents. This strategy represents an economic and eco-friendly method that could find potential applications.     

基于功能核酸的水中汞离子荧光检测方法

二价汞离子作为一种重要的环境污染物，一直以来受到国内外广泛关注。基于T-T错配的Hg2+检测极大依赖于汞选择性寡聚核苷酸（MSO）的设计，利用SYBR Green I对目前所报道的汞离子探针进行了优化，研究了若干种MSO探针与Hg2+的结合响应，在对探针二级结构进行分析和讨论的基础上，提出最优的富T探针序列，并由此建立了一种基于SYBR Green I的水中汞离子快速、便捷的荧光检测方法。最终测得3种实际水样的加标回收率在82.8％~101.8％之间，相对标准偏差小于15%，表明该方法受环境基质的影响较小，可应用于实际水样中的汞离子检测。     

Modeling photo-induced deformation of glassy splay-bend and twist nematic sheets

Azobenzene-containing glassy nematic sheets deform in response to light in a complicated way depending on director distribution. To quantify the large-deflected deformation, a theoretical model is developed for the sheets with typical splay-bend and twist director distributions. A third-order in-plane displacement assumption is adopted to characterize the effect of transverse shear deformation, and the necessity is discussed through two examples for which analytical solutions are obtainable. Though this work is an extension of the third-order shear deformable theory for anisotropic laminates, it involves some new ingredients such as varying spontaneous strains and special material symmetries. The results are expected useful for analysis and design of the glassy nematic sheets in actuation applications.
