Effect of permodified β‐cyclodextrin on the photophysical properties of poly[2,7‐(9,9‐dioctylfluorene)‐alt‐(5,5′‐bithiophene)] main chain polyrotaxanes

The photophysical properties of two polyrotaxanes ( PFBTh?PSβCD and PFBTh?PMeβCD ) composed of fluorene and bithiophene encapsulated into permodified β‐cyclodextrin cavities have been investigated and compared with those of the reference PFBTh . Rotaxane formation results in improvements of the thermal stability, solubility in common organic solvents, as well as better film forming ability combined with a high transparency. As expected PFBTh and its encapsulated forms absorb at wavelengths beyond 510 nm, and time‐resolved photoluminescence (PL) in solution shows a well‐define vibronic structures with a predominance of the 0‐0 transitions and an energy difference of 0.16 eV. The fluorescence lifetimes follow a monoexponential decay with a value τ = 630 ± 30 ps. Atomic force microscopy, AFM, indicated a tendency of polyrotaxanes to organize into fibers. The advancing contact angles indicated higher surface hydrophobicity and lower surface free‐energy values for polyrotaxanes compared with their unthreaded analogues. The device based on PFBTh?PSβCD: PCBM in a 1/1 w/w ratio under simulated AM 1.5G illumination at 100 mW cm^?2 exhibited improved photovoltaic parameters of cells, resulted in high V_oc (0.68 V), J_sc (1.65 mA cm^?2), FF (31.6%), and PCE (0.35) values, compared with PFBTh or PFBTh?PMeβCD , respectively. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A generalized Tu formula and Hamiltonian structures of fractional AKNS hierarchy

In this Letter, a generalized Tu formula is firstly presented to construct Hamiltonian structures of fractional soliton equations. The obtained results can be reduced to the classical Hamiltonian hierarchy of AKNS in ordinary calculus.     

Effect of nematic ordering on the elasticity and yielding in disordered polymeric solids

The relation between elasticity and yielding is investigated in a model polymer solid by Molecular‐Dynamics simulations. By changing the bending stiffness of the chain and the bond length, semicrystalline and disordered glassy polymers — both with bond disorder — as well as nematic glassy polymers with bond ordering are obtained. It is found that in systems with bond disorder the ratio τ_Y/G between the shear yield strength τ_Y and the shear modulus G is close to the universal value of the atomic metallic glasses. The increase of the local nematic order in glasses leads to the increase of the shear modulus and the decrease of the shear yield strength, as observed in experiments on nematic thermosets. A tentative explanation of the subsequent reduction of the ratio τ_Y/G in terms of the distributions of the per‐monomer stress is offered. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci. Part B: Polym.

鲍曼不动杆菌LpxC的同源模建及分子对接

鲍曼不动杆菌已成为最普遍的医院致病菌,且耐药情况严峻.LpxC作为新抗菌药物靶点被大量研究,但鲍曼不动杆菌LpxC晶体尚未解析得到,基于其结构的药物设计等工作无法开展.以铜绿假单胞菌LpxC晶体结构为模板,通过同源模建方法获得鲍曼不动杆菌LpxC结构模型.较好的Ramachandran plot分布和Profile-3D结果验证了模型的合理性.用分子动力学模拟优化鲍曼不动杆菌LpxC模型,修补部分不合理构象.后续分子对接结果显示S构型的苄氧乙酰基羟肟酸类抑制剂比R构型分子能更有效地结合在F191,H237和K238组成的较浅口袋中,这可能是S构型抑制剂活性更高的主要因素,模拟结果与实验数据吻合较好.

Numerical methods for theoretical analysis of foil bearing dynamics

The bearing under consideration is a self-acting, gas bearing with a flexibly supported foil. In order to conduct the theoretical analysis, three systems were identified: a rotor, a gas film and a flexible structure. Each of these elements has been mathematically analysed and analytical equations have been formulated. It was found, that the gas flow in the bearing can be described by the Reynolds equation, whereas a spring-damper model was selected for the structural analysis. The Reynolds equation is a differential equation the exact solution to which is unknown. The work describes the finite difference method in detail, where the partial derivatives in the Reynolds equation are replaced by a system of algebraic equations. In order to solve the resulting system, the Alternating Direction Implicit method (ADI) was used. Based on that and on the analysis of interactions between the three systems the equations have been computed. The accuracy of methods has been verified by means of series of numerical tests. Chosen results are described in this paper.     

The identification of the vibration control system parameters designed for continuous miner machines

The Continuous Miner machines are exposed to time dependent loads during normal operation of the rock cutting process. These loads cause vibrations, which have a negative influence on the whole structure of the machine. This phenomenon can be eliminated by applying passive or active vibration control systems (VCS). Generally these systems are coupled with additional elements, which provide dispersion or transfer energy. The energy thus acquired can also reinforce the intended function such as rock cutting operation in the case of mining machines. The objective of this paper is to present the method of numerical identification of VCS parameters for Continuous Miner machines. The main function of the presented system is to reduce displacement of cutting drum by using elastic element joined to machine chassis and applying appropriate algorithm of control of the angular velocity of cutting drum. The method described improves efficiency of mining and increases durability of machine. In order to determine mechanical and control parameters of VCS the genetic algorithm optimisation method conjugated with numerical modal analysis was used. Finally the transient dynamic analysis was performed for the full-scale model of Continuous Miner in order to verify VCS in normal working condition.
