Visible‐Light‐Driven Halogen Bond Donor Based Molecular Switches: From Reversible Unwinding to Handedness Inversion in Self‐Organized Soft Helical Superstructures

Visible‐light‐driven molecular switches endowing reversible modulation of the functionalities of self‐organized soft materials are currently highly sought after for fundamental scientific studies and technological applications. Reported herein are the design and synthesis of two novel halogen bond donor based chiral molecular switches that exhibit reversible photoisomerization upon exposure to visible light of different wavelengths. These chiral molecular switches induce photoresponsive helical superstructures, that is, cholesteric liquid crystals, when doped into the commercially available room‐temperature achiral liquid crystal host 5CB, which also acts as a halogen‐bond acceptor. The induced helical superstructure containing the molecular switch with terminal iodo atoms exhibits visible‐light‐driven reversible unwinding, that is, a cholesteric–nematic phase transition. Interestingly, the molecular switch with terminal bromo atoms confers reversible handedness inversion to the helical superstructure upon irradiation with visible light of different wavelengths. This visible‐light‐driven, reversible handedness inversion, enabled by a halogen bond donor molecular switch, is unprecedented.

霉变花生极有可能含强致癌物质-黄曲霉素,快速识别并分离霉变花生可从源头上阻止其进入食物链,并降低人类摄入黄曲霉素的风险。利用可见光-近红外高光谱数据,通过光谱分析确定能有效识别霉变花生的光谱特征或指数模型。共获取霉变花生样本253个,健康花生247个,并取其霉变(或健康)部位的均值光谱。在对光谱进行连续统去除后,首先对其求取了不同步长的一阶微分,并在可分性较优的光谱区域计算了Area_500～650指数;其次,用连续小波变换提取了光谱的形状和位置信息,并利用Index_cwt指数识别霉变花生样本。结果显示,指数Area_500～650的J-M距离为1.95,Index_cwt模型的J-M距离为1.99,表明霉变和健康花生在构建的指数模型Area_500～650和Index_cwt的特征空间可分性均较优。     

多孔活性自燃金属的光谱辐射特性研究

多孔活性金属材料因为内部存在大量的孔隙,大大地增加了与空气的接触面积,使得其在空气中的燃烧较为猛烈,燃烧温度迅速上升。其燃烧过程属于固体燃烧的范畴,较为复杂。以镁为例,通过建立燃烧模型,来研究多孔活性金属的光谱辐射特性。首先,建立氧气总消耗量与活性金属剩余质量的关系,研究氧气在活性金属孔隙内的扩散浓度关系,通过求解活性金属热平衡方程得到活性金属燃烧过程中温度与时间的关系式,进而得到活性金属的峰值光谱辐射强度表达式;然后,将模型计算的仿真结果与红外热像仪测得的实验结果对比,结果表明,模型的计算结果与实验结果相一致,误差在了10%以内;最后,通过建立的燃烧模型来研究活性金属燃烧规律以及其光谱辐射特性,解决了高空、高速下的活性金属光谱辐射强度难以实验获得的问题,大大减小了实验成本与时间。分别对比不同时间活性金属箔片在1～3,3～5以及8～12 μm波段下的辐射强度,得出活性金属燃烧时的辐射强度主要集中在3～5 μm波段的结论。研究结果表明：自燃金属最大燃烧温度随高度的增加逐渐下降,随气流速度的增加先增加后减小,在速度为30 m·s-1时,温度达到最大;自燃金属的光谱辐射强度在2～6 μm波段达到最大。该模型也可以用来研究其他活性金属的燃烧特性。     

A novel editing technique for F MRI: Molecule-specific imaging

A novel technique is proposed to facilitate the selective imaging of specific molecules from a mixture. The application of the technique presented here demonstrates the ability to selectively produce ¹⁹F MR images of either trifluoroacetic acid or the perfluorocarbon emulsion Oxypherol-ET (perfluorotributylamine), when both molecules are present simultaneously. Selective detection is based on the presence of homonuclear J-modulation in one molecule and differential spin-spin relaxation time (T₂). Perfluorotributylamine, an A₃B₂ system, is subject to homonuclear J-modulation, which produces a null signal from the antiphase components of the triplet (A₃) when an echo time is used in a spin-echo image. At this echo time the second molecule, in this example trifluoroacetic acid, a non-coupled spin system, is selectively imaged. At longer echo times, e.g., TE = 1/J there is substantial recovery of the J-modulated signal, which may be solely observed due to T₂ decay of the trifluoroacetic acid signal. The method is demonstrated both using phantoms and in vivo.     

Study on some aspects of the “singer's formant” in north indian classical singing

This article deals with a spectrographic analysis of the singer's formant as occurred during singing of the vowels /a/, /i/, and /o/ in North Indian classical vocal music. The resonance balance, center frequency, and band-width are shown as a function of fundamental frequency for eight singers.Two new parameters have been defined viz. asymmetry parameter (A) and spectral energy balance (W). Their variation with fundamental frequency is shown.     

Objective acoustic voice-quality parameters in the computer phonetogram

A phonetogram is a plot of the dynamic range of the voice as a function of fundamental frequency. Traditionally, the phonetogram only records the sound-pressure level (SPL) of the threshold of phonation and the upper limit in SPL the voice can reach with sustained phonation as a function of the fundamental frequency (F₀). In this study, the phonetogram is extended by including acoustic voice-quality parameters. Three additional parameters are tested: jitter, shimmer, and crest factor. For each individual voice, the variation in the three parameters is evaluated over the entire phonetogram area. By averaging individual phonetograms, standard or norm phonetograms are obtained revealing general patterns in voice-quality variation. These patterns reflect the complex relations between F₀, SPL, and the acoustic voice-quality parameters just mentioned. Jitter and shimmer distributions over the phonetogram show that large variations in perturbation values can be expected when production conditions are altered. Highest perturbation values are found for the low F₀ and low SPL phonations. For all voices, a gradual decrease of the crest factor is found with increasing F₀, reflecting the degrading of spectral complexity with F₀. The crest-factor parameter can also be used to mark those areas in the phonetogram where the fundamental dominates the waveform and where flow control is the main SPL regulating mechanism in voice production. The strong quality variations within the phonetogram stress the need for accurate control of F₀ and SPL in objective voice-quality measurement.
