Beam dynamics and RF design of trapezoidal IH-RFQ with low energy spread

Beam dynamics and RF design have been performed of a new type trapezoidal IH-RFQ operating at 104 MHz for acceleration of 14C+ in the framework of RFQ based 14C AMS facility at Peking University. Low energy spread RFQ beam dynamics design was approached by the method of internal discrete bunching. 14C+ will be accelerated from 40 keV to 500 keV with the length of about 1.1 m. The designed transmission efficiency is better than 95% and the energy spread is as low as 0.6%. Combining the beam dynamics design, a trapezoidal IH-RFQ structure was proposed, which can be cooled more easily and has better mechanical performance than traditional RFQ. Electromagnetic field distribution was simulated by using CST Microwave Studio (MWS). The specific shunt impedance and the quality factor were optimized primarily.     

APPROXIMATING COMMON FIXED POINTS OF NEARLY ASYMPTOTICALLY NONEXPANSIVE MAPPINGS

We use an iteration scheme to approximate common fixed points of nearly asymptotically nonexpansive mappings.We generalize corresponding theorems of [1] to the case of two nearly asymptotically nonexpansive mappings and those of [9] not only to a larger class of mappings but also with better rate of convergence.     

Path-following interior point algorithms for the Cartesian <Emphasis Type="Italic">P</Emphasis><Subscript>*</Subscript>(κ)-LCP over symmetric cones

In this paper, we establish a theoretical framework of path-following interior point algorithms for the linear complementarity problems over symmetric cones (SCLCP) with the Cartesian P _*(κ)-property, a weaker condition than the monotonicity. Based on the Nesterov-Todd, xy and yx directions employed as commutative search directions for semidefinite programming, we extend the variants of the short-, semilong-, and long-step path-following algorithms for symmetric conic linear programming proposed by Schmieta and Alizadeh to the Cartesian P _*(κ)-SCLCP, and particularly show the global convergence and the iteration complexities of the proposed algorithms.

Simple Synthesis of a Heterocyclophane Exhibiting Anti-c-Met Activity by Acting as a Hatch Blocking Access to the Active Site**

A simple approach to the synthesis of heterocyclophane consisting of two 4,4’-bithiazoles has been developed in mild conditions. The heterocyclophane with two short chains was conveniently prepared by Hantzsch thiazoles synthesis using the reaction of 3-tert-butoxycarbonyl-3-azapentanethiocarboxamide with 1,4-dibromobutane-2,3-dione in methanol under reflux for only 15 min. Amino groups at the linkers of this heterocyclophane can be functionalized to give acylated and carbamate derivatives. Their properties as protein kinase inhibitors were investigated, and one of the heterocyclophanes exhibited specific anti-activity for c-mesenchymal epithelial transition factor (IC₅₀=603 nm ), among seven types of protein kinases investigated. The computational site identification by ligand competitive saturation method was used to determine why the one heterocyclophane exhibited strong anti-activity for c-mesenchymal epithelial transition factor.     

Mg2+和Na+对高熔点煤灰熔融性的影响

以山西阳泉固庄高熔点煤灰为研究对象,通过向煤灰中添加不同量的MgO与Na₂CO₃,研究了Mg²⁺与Na⁺在高温下对煤灰熔融性的影响。研究结果表明,煤灰熔融温度随氧化镁的添加(5%~25%)单调下降;而随氧化钠添加(5%~25%)出现先降后升现象,在氧化钠添加量为15% 时,灰熔点达到最低。XRD分析表明,阳泉固庄煤灰熔融温度高(大于1 750℃)的原因是高温条件下耐熔矿物莫来石、方英石的存在。添加外加剂后,高温时外加剂与硅酸盐矿物反应,生成了更多的低共熔矿物霞石、堇青石等。同时,Mg²⁺和Na⁺的加入会使得非桥氧数量增多,高温煤灰低聚物增多,降低了煤灰的熔融温度。通过三元相图以及SEM分析,高温条件下煤灰中部分元素的富集以及团聚现象是导致Mg²⁺和Na⁺对煤灰熔融温度影响不同的原因。
