Memory Effects in High-Dimensional Systems Faithfully Identified by Hilbert–Schmidt Speed-Based Witness

A witness of non-Markovianity based on the Hilbert–Schmidt speed (HSS), a special type of quantum statistical speed, has been recently introduced for low-dimensional quantum systems. Such a non-Markovianity witness is particularly useful, being easily computable since no diagonalization of the system density matrix is required. We investigate the sensitivity of this HSS-based witness to detect non-Markovianity in various high-dimensional and multipartite open quantum systems with finite Hilbert spaces. We find that the time behaviors of the HSS-based witness are always in agreement with those of quantum negativity or quantum correlation measure. These results show that the HSS-based witness is a faithful identifier of the memory effects appearing in the quantum evolution of a high-dimensional system with a finite Hilbert space.     

Activity Coefficient Determinations of KCl in the KCl + Formamide + Water Mixed Solvent System Based on Potentiometric Measurements at 298.2 K

In this work mean activity coefficient measurements for KCl in the KCl + formamide + water system, using the potentiometric method, are reported. The electromotive force measurements were performed on a galvanic cell of the type Ag | AgCl | KCl (m), formamide (w%), H₂O (1−w)% | K-ISE, in solvent mixtures containing w=(0,10,20,30, and 40)% mass percent of formamide over ionic strengths ranging from 0.0010 to 3.9578 mol⋅kg⁻¹. Modeling of the activity coefficients of this ternary system was based on an extended Debye–Hückel equation and the Pitzer ion-interaction model. The resulting values of the mean activity coefficients, the osmotic coefficients and the excess Gibbs energy, together with Pitzer ion-interaction parameters (β ⁽⁰⁾, β ⁽¹⁾ and C ^ϕ ) and Debye–Hückel parameters (a, c and d), are reported for the investigated system.     

Fructose-catalyzed synthesis of tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyran derivatives：Investigation of kinetics and mechanism

Fructose was used as an efficient catalyst for three-component condensation reactions of aryl alde-hydes, malononitrile, and dimedone in a mixture of EtOH and H2O as green solvents. The advantages of t...     

A New Class of Monotone Mappings and a New Class of Variational Inclusions in Banach Spaces

In this paper, we introduce and study a new class of variational inclusions in Banach spaces. As it concerns the methods of solution, we introduce a new class of monotone mappings. We define a proximal mapping associated with this mappings and show its Lipschitz continuity. By using the technique of proximal mapping, we construct a new iterative algorithm. Under some suitable conditions, we prove the convergence of iterative sequences generated by the algorithm. Our results improve and generalize many known results.     

果糖催化合成四氢苯并[b]吡喃衍生物:动力学和机理研究(英文)

Fructose was used as an efficient catalyst for three-component condensation reactions of aryl aldehydes,malononitrile,and dimedone in a mixture of EtOH and H_2O as green solvents.The advantages of this method are a short reaction time,high yields,low cost,easy accesses,and simple work-up.The mechanism of the synthesis of a derivative of 4H-tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyran was clarified using spectroscopic kinetic methods.The activation energy(Ea=65.34 kJ/mol)and related kinetic parameters(ΔG=69.14 kJ/mol,ΔS=20.99 J/(mol·K),andΔH=62.89 kJ/mol)were calculated,based on the effects of temperature,concentration,and solvent.The first step in the proposed mechanism was identified as the rate-determining step(k1),based on the steady-state approximation.
