A new method for the synthesis of organic–polyoxometallate hybrid compounds

The reaction of the Na₂MoO₄ or Na₂WO₄ salt with organic amine and PCl₅, SiCl₄ or TiCl₄ in hydrochloric acid medium under hydrothermal conditions yields organic–polyoxometallate hybrid compounds, with the following reaction formula: Na₂MO₄ + Lewis-base + XCl_n + HCl → (Lewis-baseH)_m(XM₁₂O₄₀) + NaCl + H₂O (M = Mo or W; X = P, Si, Ti,; n = 3–5). By using this method, four new complexes, [(CH₃)₂NH]₃[H₃PW₁₂O₄₀] (1), (C₂H₅OH)₃(H₃PMo₁₂O₄₀) (2), [DMDA]₂[H₄SiW₁₂O₄₀]·H₂O (3) (DMDA = 1 N,3 N-dimethyl-1,3-diazolidine) and [(DAN)₆][H₄TiW₁₂O₄₀]·4H₂O (DAN = 4,4′-dianiline) (4), were obtained, and their crystal structures are reported. Thermal analysis of 1, 2 and 4 has been carried out. The thermal analysis indicates that the Keggin anion skeleton begins to decompose at about 300 °C. The possibility of constructing hydrogen-bond interactions by association between the polyoxometallate and the organic compound is explored. The roles of solvents and organic groups in the formation of specific crystalline architectures are discussed. The crystal structure of [H₄TiW₁₂O₄₀], a hetero-transition-metal Keggin polyoxometallate with a square-plane TiO₄, has been reported. Four architectures developed by hydrogen-bond associations of different Keggin polyoxometallates and organic bearing N–H or O–H donor functions are described. The selected organic modules (4,4′-dianiline, 1,3-dimethylimidazolidine, dimethylamine and ethanol) possess hydrogen-donor functions to allow them to act as bridges between polyoxometallate groups. Depending on the nature of the donor group, the number of hydrogens available for bonding, the geometric features and the sizes of the organic modules, diverse assembling patterns have been observed ranging from one-dimensional to three-dimensional networks. For all the networks, H₃O⁺ and H⁺ act as actual linkers between the molecular units.

Density functional theory for reactions of astrophysical interest

For astrophysical processes nuclear reactions close to the particle emission threshold are of particular importance. As representative examples we investigate pairing resonances and new low-energy multipole modes in light and heavy exotic nuclei with a large charge asymmetry. As a common theoretical background, density functional theory and Fermi Liquid Theory are used. In particular, we consider the spectroscopy particle unstable systems, carrying the properties of open quantum systems. Results for the continuum spectroscopy of ¹⁰Li, the neutron-rich carbon isotopes, and the electromagnetic response of Sn-isotopes ¹³⁸Ba are presented.     

Optimal chunk caching in network coding-based qualitative communication

Network processing in the current Internet is at the entirety of the data packet, which is problematic when encountering network congestion. The newly proposed Internet service named Qualitative Communication changes the network processing paradigm to an even finer granularity, namely chunk level, which obsoletes many existing networking policies and schemes, especially the caching algorithms and cache replacement policies that have been extensively explored in Web Caching, Content Delivery Networks (CDN) or Information-Centric Networks (ICN). This paper outlines all the new factors that are brought by random linear network coding-based Qualitative Communication and proves the importance and necessity of considering them. A novel metric is proposed by taking these new factors into consideration. An optimization problem is formulated to maximize the metric value of all retained chunks in the local storage of network nodes under the constraint of storage limit. A cache replacement scheme that obtains the optimal result in a recursive manner is proposed correspondingly. With the help of the introduced intelligent cache replacement algorithm, the performance evaluations show remarkably reduced end-to-end latency compared to the existing schemes in various network scenarios.     

电力电子教学中单相桥式逆变电路的讲解方法

单相桥式电路是一种基础且应用广泛的DC/AC逆变电路。在“电力电子技术”课程中,学生需要深刻理解和掌握单相桥式电路。但在教学实践中,往往直接给出全/半桥电路结构,只注重各模态波形绘制和公式推导,忽略桥式电路拓扑的由来,导致学生难以深入理解桥式逆变电路的本质原理。本文借助于简单易懂的Buck电路,提出一种渐变推演全/半桥逆变电路拓扑的教学方法。该教学方法不仅能够让学生循序渐进地理解桥式逆变电路的产生及其在单/双极性调制下的工作原理,同时能够增强学生对电力电子拓扑推演的理解和思考,提高对电力电子课程的学习兴趣。最后通过Matlab/Simulink软件的可视化功能进行仿真演示,增强课程的互动性,以期取得良好的教学效果。     

A sensitive, rapid ferricyanide-mediated toxicity bioassay developed using Escherichia coli

A need for rapid toxicity techniques has seen recent research into developing new microbiological assays and characterising their toxicity responses using a range of substances. A microbiological bioassay that determines changes in ferricyanide-mediated respiration for toxicity measurement (FM-TOX) shows particular promise. The development and optimisation of an improved FM-TOX method, incorporating novel features, is described using Escherichia coli as the biocatalyst. Omission of an exogenous carbon source, used in previously described FM-TOX assays, substantially improves the assay sensitivity. In addition, the development of a two-step procedure (toxicant exposure followed by determination of microbial respiratory activity) was found to enhance the inhibition of E. coli by 3,5-dichlorophenol and four other toxicants, compared to single-step procedures. Other assay parameters, such as the ferricyanide concentration, exposure times and optical density of the biocatalyst were also optimised, sometimes based on practical aspects. Toxicity tests were carried out using the adopted technique on both organic and inorganic toxicants, with classic sigmoid-shaped dose-response curves observed, as well as some non-standard responses. IC₅₀ data is presented for a number of common toxicants. The optimised assay provides a good foundation for further toxicity testing using E. coli, as well as the potential for expanding the technique to utilise other bacteria with complementary toxicity responses, thereby allowing use of the assay in a range of applications.     

Simultaneous determination of methylene blue and new methylene blue by slab optical waveguide spectroscopy and artificial neural networks

A slab optical waveguide (SOWG) has been used for study of adsorption of both methylene blue (MB) and new methylene blue (NMB) in liquid-solid interface. Adsorption characteristics of MB and NMB on both bare SOWG and silanized SOWG by octadecyltrichlorosilane (ODS) were compared. The simultaneous determinations of both MB and NMB were explored by flow injection SOWG spectrophotometric analysis and artificial neural networks (ANNs) for the first time. Concentrations of MB and NMB were estimated simultaneously with the ANNs. Results obtained with SOWG were compared with those got by conventional UV-visible spectrophotometry.

Optimal Distributed Dynamic Advertising

We propose a novel approach to modeling advertising dynamics for a firm operating over a distributed market domain based on controlled partial differential equations of the diffusion type. Using our model, we consider a general type of finite-horizon profit maximization problem in a monopoly setting. By reformulating this profit maximization problem as an optimal control problem in infinite dimensions, we derive sufficient conditions for the existence of its optimal solutions under general profit functions, as well as state and control constraints, and provide a general characterization of the optimal solutions. Sharper, feedback-form characterizations of the optimal solutions are obtained for two variants of the general problem.
