Open Chain Chiral Macrolide Building Blocks by Opening of Deoxygenated 1,6-Anhydrosugars with 1,3-Propanedithiol

Chiral building blocks for macrolides and related natural products are obtained from 1,6-anhydrosugars by conversion of the bicyclic acetals 2 or 12 into the open chain chiral 1,3-dithianes 6 and 13. Branched precursors can be obtained by opening of the ?erný epoxide 1 with the 1,3-dithiane anion to yield 7, followed by ring opening with 1,3-propanedithiol to the bis-1,3-dithiane 8.     

Intersections of apartments

We show that, if a building is endowed with its complete system of apartments, and if each panel is contained in at least four chambers, then the intersection of two apartments can be any convex subcomplex contained in an apartment. This combinatorial result is particularly interesting for lower-dimensional convex subcomplexes of apartments, where we definitely need the assumption on the four chambers per panel in the building. The corresponding statement is not true anymore for arbitrary systems of apartments, and counter-examples for infinite convex subcomplexes exist for any type of buildings. However, when we restrict to finite convex subcomplexes, the above remains true for arbitrary systems of apartments if and only if every finite subset of chambers of the standard Coxeter complex is contained in the convex hull of two chambers.     

Multiple Eigenvalues in Spectral Analysis for Solving QBD Processes

A number of authors have recently suggested solving quasi birth-and-death (QBD) processes through the use of eigenvalue-based methods. These methods take on a special form when there are multiple eigenvalues present. We investigate this problem in a general setting as well as in the context of a specific preemptive priority queueing model.

Stereoselective intramolecular cyclization of γ-allylbenzamide via π-allylpalladium complex catalyzed by Pd(0)

An efficient procedure for synthesizing oxazines was developed by the palladium(0)-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization of a benzamide through a π-allylpalladium (II) complex. Interestingly, the diastereoselectivity of oxazine ring formation was dominantly controlled by the bulkiness of various protecting groups on the secondary alcohols.     

Facile synthetic pathway to β-hydroxy-β-trifluoromethyl imines and their derivatives

Synthetic approach based on mediated addition of different trifluoromethylated building blocks to selected acyclic imines giving access to a variety of β-hydroxy-β-trifluoromethyl imines are elaborated. A reaction between fluorinated adducts and imines proceed easily giving the condensation products in good to excellent yields. β-Hydroxy-β-trifluoromethyl imines possessing trifluoromethyl group and exhibiting strong intramolecular hydrogen bonding are great precursors to different β-hydroxy-β-trifluoromethyl ketones and alcohols.     

平面场景和建筑物成像的几何分析

为了识别采集图像中的平面场景以及建筑物,利用摄像机参数,对平面场景及建筑物成像过程进行了几何分析。首先,根据相机参数以及相机飞行状态分析平面场景成像畸变;然后,对平面场景上的建筑物形状的成像进行几何分析;最后,将相机上采集到的平面场景及建筑物的图像像素数与真实平面场景及建筑物的尺寸建立联系。实验结果表明:已知相机参数及飞行状态的情况下,可以对平面场景及建筑物形状信息进行推导,从而完成目标识别与跟踪。本方法适合在典型建筑物、孤立建筑物、建筑群中具有明显形状特征等情况下对立体目标进行自动捕获与跟踪。     

建筑物对微波脉冲响应仿真与实验

 建立了微波脉冲在建筑物内传播、反射及透射过程的3维仿真模型,提取了空间电场时域最大值进行统计分析。分析表明：不同入射角窄带调制方波脉冲激励下,场增强区域大小与微波通过窗户和门能直接照射到的区域大小呈正比,窗户的大小对建筑物内空间场强增强区域的大小有显著影响;同时在微波脉冲的传播方向上,窗沿后的区域场强幅值明显减小;脉冲宽度对建筑物内空间场强增强区域的大小及空间场强最大值影响很小;无上升下降沿的窄带调制方波脉冲激励下,空间电场叠加增强效应更强。测量了微波脉冲辐照下,建筑物内空间功率密度分布,验证了仿真结果。     

轻质建筑中定形相变内隔墙板冬季应用效果研究

现代轻质建筑热容较小,窗墙比较大,冬季在利用透射太阳辐射采暖的同时易造成室内温度波动过大。本文提出将定形相变蓄能板安装在建筑内隔墙表面,以增加建筑热容,减小室温波动。采用经实验验证程序,模拟分析了相变板热物性、表面换热系数和用量对冬季室内温度波动的影响,给出了北京地区相变内隔墙房间的设计原则。
