Hyperfine structure in Iodine at the 612-nm and 640-nm helium-neon laser wavelengths

The hyperfine structure of iodine-127 at 612 nm and 640 nm is observed by saturated absorption in a gas cell placed within a He-Ne laser cavity modified to operate at these wavelengths. At 612 nm, all the 21 components of the strong R 47 9-2 line lie within the laser gain profile, and the resulting saturated absorption peaks have a contrast of 10% at a gas pressure of 3 Pa.     

Diffusion-limited energy transfer from Tb3+ → Nd3+ and Tb3+ → Ho3+ in DMSO

The energy transfer phenomenon has been studied from Tb³⁺ → Nd³⁺ and Tb³⁺ → Ho³⁺ in DMSO. A diffusion limited dipole-dipole mechanism of energy transfer is suggested for both systems. At high acceptor concentrations, P_da depends linearly on C² consistent with the Fong and Diestler theory of energy transfer. However, at low acceptor concentrations the observations of time evolutions of Tb³⁺ luminescence decay following flash excitation has enabled us to examine diffusion limited energy transfer from Tb³⁺ to Nd³⁺ and Tb³⁺ to Ho³⁺ in DMSO.     

Labeling algorithm for the shortest path problem with turn prohibitions with application to large-scale road networks

In real road networks, the presence of no-left, no-right or no U-turn signs, restricts the movement of vehicles at intersections. These turn prohibitions must be considered when calculating the shortest path between a starting and an ending point in a road network. We propose an extension of Dijkstra’s algorithm to solve the shortest path problem with turn prohibitions. The method uses arc labeling and a network structure with low memory requirements. We compare the proposed method with the dual graph approach in a set of randomly generated networks and Bogotá’s large-scale road network. Our computational experiments show that the performance of the proposed method is better than that of the dual graph approach, both in terms of computing time and memory requirements. We co-developed a Web-based decision support system for computing shortest paths with turn prohibitions that uses the proposed method as the core engine.     

Ultrasound regulated flexible protein materials: Fabrication,structure and physical-biological properties

Ultrasound can be used in the biomaterial field due to its high efficiency, easy operation, no chemical treatment, repeatability and high level of control. In this work, we demonstrated that ultrasound is able to quickly regulate protein structure at the solution assembly stage to obtain the designed properties of protein-based materials. Silk fibroin proteins dissolved in a formic acid-CaCl₂ solution system were treated in an ultrasound with varying times and powers. By altering these variables, the silks physical properties and structures can be fine-tuned and the results were investigated with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), gas permeability and water contact angle measurements. Ultrasonic treatment aids the interactions between the calcium ions and silk molecular chains which leads to increased amounts of intermolecular β-sheets and α-helix. This unique structural change caused the silk film to be highly insoluble in water while also inducing a hydrophilic swelling property. The ultrasound-regulated silk materials also showed higher thermal stability, better biocompatibility and breathability, and favorable mechanical strength and flexibility. It was also possible to tune the enzymatic degradation rate and biological response (cell growth and proliferation) of protein materials by changing ultrasound parameters. This study provides a unique physical and non-contact material processing method for the wide applications of protein-based biomaterials.     

Reduction of chromano–piperidine-fused isoxazolidines: Tandem intramolecular rearrangements leading to 2-(methylamino)-4-oxo-N-phenyl-N-propyl-4H-chromene-3-carboxamide

Reductive ring opening of isoxazolidine moiety of chromano–piperidine-fused isoxazolidines (3a–c) with HCOONH₄ and 10% Pd/C in a mixture of solvents (THF/MeOH) at ambient temperature, affords novel 2-(methylamino)-4-oxo-N-phenyl-N-propyl-4H-chromene-3-carboxamide (4), which is apparently derived from reductive NO bond cleavage followed by tandem intramolecular rearrangements. Plausible mechanistic rationale for the formation of compound 4 is proffered.
