Synthesis and Reactions of Some New Pyrrolylfuro[2,3‐d]Pyrimidines and Pyrrolopyrazinofuropyrimidines

5‐Amino‐4‐methyl‐2‐phenyl‐6‐substitutedfuro[2,3‐d]pyrimidines ( 2a‐c ) were reacted with 2,5‐dimethoxytetrahydrfuran to afford the pyrrolyl derivatives 3a‐c . Compound 3a was chosen as intermediate for the synthesis of poly fused heterocycles incorporated furopyrimidines moiety 4–11 . Some of the synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activities.     

Multi-mode wave propagation in ribbed plates: Part I,wavenumber-space characteristics

This paper addresses the issue of energy propagation features in ribbed panels over a wide frequency range. First, a tool for estimating the wave propagation characteristics of one- and two-dimensional structures by k-space analysis is presented. This tool uses a concept of Inhomogeneous Wave Correlation with sparse measured or extracted data, and leads to the estimation of θ-dependent wavenumbers. Here, the method is employed with the sparse simulated and measured normal velocities of a set of ribbed panels and new insights into their k-space behavior are highlighted. Behavior is essentially characterized at low frequencies by structural orthotropy. Comparisons with homogenized data show very good agreement. At higher frequencies, a new behavior pattern is observed and explained both numerically and experimentally. This is a multi-modal waveguide type of propagation in a direction parallel to the ribs.     

Photodiffraction in InGaAs/InGaAsP multiple quantum wells enclosed in a microcavity

We report new results on the diffraction properties of photoinduced gratings in InGaAs/InGaAsP MQW structures. The original feature of this device is that the QWs are enclosed in an asymmetric Fabry–Perot microcavity in order to increase the diffraction efficiency. We observe oscillations in the diffraction efficiency due to resonant effects in the microcavity. The experimental spectra are compared with theory. Diffraction efficiency at 1.55 μm attains a maximum value of 2.7% at a write beam fluence of 260 μ J cm⁻², and then decreases at higher fluences. We explain this phenomenon by an absorption saturation at high excitation.     

Concentration inequalities for random fields via coupling

We present a new and simple approach to concentration inequalities in the context of dependent random processes and random fields. Our method is based on coupling and does not use information inequalities. In case one has a uniform control on the coupling, one obtains exponential concentration inequalities. If such a uniform control is no more possible, then one obtains polynomial or stretched-exponential concentration inequalities. Our abstract results apply to Gibbs random fields, both at high and low temperatures and in particular to the low-temperature Ising model which is a concrete example of non-uniformity of the coupling.

Electron-hole interaction in the presence of excitons

We calculate the effective electron-hole interaction V_re in the presence of an exciton gas, which reads in real space:

$\text{V}{}_{\mathrm{re}}\text{(r)=}\text{?e}{}^2\text{r}\text{{1+}\text{∑}\text{i=1}\text{4}\text{(?1)}{}^{\mathrm{i}}\text{C}{}_{\mathrm{i}}\text{exp}\text{(?Z}{}_{\mathrm{i}}\text{r}\text{a}\text{}}$

The parameters C_i and Z_i are given explicitly for GaAs. For this material, we show the binding energy of the exciton is weakly modified so long as $\text{8πR}{}_0\text{?}{}_{\mathrm{ex}}\text{a}{}_0{}^3\text{kT?1}$. (R₀, exciton Rydberg, a₀ exciyon radius, ?_ex exciton density, T temperature).     

Silver nitrate-promoted ring enlargement of 1-tribromomethyl-1,2-dihydro- and 1-tribromomethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-isoquinoline derivatives: application to the synthesis of the anti-anginal zatebradine

The one step AgNO₃-mediated ring enlargement of 1-tribromomethyl-1,2-dihydro- and 1-tribromomethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-isoquinoline derivatives into 1,2-dihydro- and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-benzo[d]azepin-2-ones, respectively, is reported.
