The treatment of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-ones with n-BuLi at −78 °C, followed by quenching with various electrophiles furnished N3-substituted derivatives, regioselectively. Further, N1,N3-diacyl derivatives were found to transfer N1-acyl groups to nucleophilic sites.     

Theoretical study of reaction channels for the weakly bound complex systems created with HF,CO2, and various amines

This investigation conducted reaction channels of weakly bound complexes CO₂…HF, CO₂…HF…NH₃, CO₂…HF…NH₂CH₃, CO₂…HF…NH(CH₃)₂, and CO₂…HF…N(CH₃)₃ systems, using the Gaussian 98 package at the B3LYP/6‐311++G(3df,2pd) level. The syn‐fluoroformic acid or syn‐fluoroformic acid plus NH₃ or amine conformers are more stable than the related anti‐fluoroformic acid or anti‐fluoroformic acid plus NH₃ or amine conformers. However, the above‐mentioned weakly bound complexes are more stable than both the related syn‐ and anti‐type fluoroformic acid or acid plus NH₃ or amine conformers and their related decomposed into CO₂ + HF or CO₂ + NHR₃F (R?H, CH₃) combined molecular systems. Five reaction channels of the weakly bound complexes exist. Each channel includes weakly bound complexes and their related above‐mentioned systems. Moreover, each reaction channel contains two transition states. The transition state between the weakly bound complex and anti‐fluoroformic acid type structure (T₁₃) is significantly higher than that of internal rotation (T₂₃) between syn‐ and anti‐FCO₂H (or FCO₂H…NR₃) structures. However, the above‐mentioned T₁₃ can significantly decrease its energy by adding the third molecule NH₃ or NR₃ (R?H or CH₃). The more CH₃ that is substituted in NR₃ of the reaction channel, the lower the activation energy of the transition state in the system is affected. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Thermal conductivity of the urea-hexadecane inclusion compound

The thermal conductivity and the heat capacity per unit volumec _p have been measured for the urea-hexadecane inclusion compound using the transient hot-wire method. Measurements were made under isobaric conditions at a pressure of 0.1 GPa and in the temperature range of 100–300 K. There was evidence for a phase transition at a temperature of about 160 K, in reasonable agreement with previous work. For the high-temperature phase was independent of temperature within ±1%. The low-temperature phase showed a weak temperature dependence, with (d In/d InT) _p = –0.13. It was inferred that interaction between acoustic phonons and low-frequency vibrational excitations of the guest molecules made a major contribution to the thermal resistivity. For the quantityc _p a weak maximum was observed in the region of the phase transition temperature.Dedicated to Dr D. W. Davidson in honor of his great contributions to the sciences of inclusion phenomena.     

Separation of carbon nanotubes by frit inlet asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation

Flow field-flow fractionation (flow FFF), a separation technique for particles and macromolecules, has been used to separate carbon nanotubes (CNT). The carbon nanotube ropes that were purified from a raw carbon nanotube mixture by acidic reflux followed by cross-flow filtration using a hollow fiber module were cut into shorter lengths by sonication under a concentrated acid mixture. The cut carbon nanotubes were separated by using a modified flow FFF channel system, frit inlet asymmetrical flow FFF (FI AFIFFF) channel, which was useful in the continuous flow operation during injection and separation. Carbon nanotubes, before and after the cutting process, were clearly distinguished by their retention profiles. The narrow volume fractions of CNT collected during flow FFF runs were confirmed by field emission scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Experimentally, it was found that retention of carbon nanotubes in flow FFF was dependent on the use of surfactant for CNT dispersion and for the carrier solution in flow FFF. In this work, the use of flow FFF for the size differentiation of carbon nanotubes in the process of preparation or purification was demonstrated.     

基于变换域注意力机制的压缩伪影去除的方法

图像有损压缩过程往往会导致图像质量退化,使图像出现压缩伪影。针对现有基于深度学习的方法缺乏对联合图像专家组(Joint Photographic Experts Group,JPEG)压缩算法先验信息的利用,提出一种基于变换域注意力机制的去伪影方法。该方法利用卷积神经网络在像素域和离散余弦变换(discrete cosine transform,DCT)域分别提取特征,再将双域学习的特征信息进行融合。利用量化表设计了DCT注意力机制,该模块根据DCT系数的损失程度给予各频率系数不同的权值,使网络自适应补偿量化引起的误差。于此基础上,在像素域引入通道注意力机制,从而更好地利用量化表的先验信息。在主要数据集上,提出的去伪影方法以固定的模型参数对多种质量因子的压缩图像进行伪影去除实验。实验结果表明,所提出的方法在各评价指标和主观视觉上取得较好的效果。     

等衰落轨道角动量索引调制系统的信道容量性能分析

射频轨道角动量(orbital angular momentum,OAM)提供了一种可以在同一载波频率物理信道上复用一组正交模式以提高信道容量的方法。现有研究大多专注于信道容量提升,对系统复杂度的研究相对较少。在基于均匀圆形阵列(uniform circular array,UCA)的OAM通信系统中,发射机需要完成大量调制运算以生成OAM信号。于是,提出了一种等衰落轨道角动量索引调制(equal fading orbital angular momentum index modulation,EOAM-IM)方案,其中,IM有效降低了OAM调制运算复杂度,且等衰落发射机也保证了不同模式OAM子信道传输增益。此外,还详细推导了所提EOAM-IM方案的系统信道容量。仿真结果表明,所提EOAM-IM方案能以更低的调制复杂度获得比传统OAM方案更高的信道容量。

Analytical solutions of the lattice Boltzmann BGK model

Analytical solutions of the two-dimensional triangular and square lattice Boltzmann BGK models have been obtained for the plane Poiseuille flow and the plane Couette flow. The analytical solutions are written in terms of the characteristic velocity of the flow, the single relaxation time , and the lattice spacing. The analytic solutions are the exact representation of these two flows without any approximation. Using the analytical solution, it is shown that in Poiseuille flow the bounce-back boundary condition introduces an error of first order in the lattice spacing. The boundary condition used by Kadanoffet al. in lattice gas automata to simulate Poiseuille flow is also considered for the triangular lattice Boltzmann BGK model. An analytical solution is obtained and used to show that the boundary condition introduces an error of second order in the lattice spacing.     

地空数据传输系统中单载波频域预均衡技术

在频率选择性瑞利慢衰落信道条件下,提出了一种适用于地空传输系统上行链路的单载波频域预均衡方法。在此基础上设计了预均衡系统模型,地面端将下行链路中的导频信号与本地导频信号对比进行信道状态估计,利用获得的信道状态信息对上行链路信号进行预均衡处理,然后在机载接收端对上行链路信号进行再均衡。基于迫零准则和最小均方误差准则,分析了该方法的信号处理流程,计算得到预均衡系数。通过仿真实验,对比分析了不同均衡方案的误码性能,结果表明:单独在地面发送端进行预均衡,会出现误码率平台效应;而预均衡之后在机载接收端进行再均衡的方法,在误码率为10-5的情况下,与采用线性均衡结构的传统单载波频域均衡方法相比有2~3dB的性能增益。
