Synthesis of mono-substituted derivatives of 6-aminoquinoline

Several 6-aminoquinoline derivatives,which could be used in drug design,have been synthesized.The reaction conditions were comparatively studied,and the p-chloroaniline was used as optimum oxidant in Skraup-Doebner-Von Miller reaction.The nitro group was reduced effectively by SnCl₂ with no halo-removed occurred.     

Strictly Biphasic Soft and Hard Janus Structures: Synthesis,Properties, and Applications

Janus structures, named after the ancient two‐faced Roman god Janus, comprise two hemistructures (e.g. hemispheres) with different compositions and functionalities. Much research has been carried out over the past few years on Janus structures because of the intriguing properties and promising potential applications of these unusually shaped materials. This Review discusses recent progress made in the synthesis, properties, and applications of strictly biphasic Janus structures possessing symmetrical structures but made of disparate materials. Depending on the chemical compositions, such biphasic structures can be categorized into soft, hard, and hybrid soft/hard Janus structures of different architectures, including spheres, rodlike, disclike, or any other shape. The main synthetic routes to soft, hard, and hybrid soft/hard Janus structures are summarized and their unique properties and applications are introduced. The perspectives for future research and development are also described.     

Optimal pricing for tandem queues with finite buffers

We consider optimal pricing for a two-station tandem queueing system with finite buffers, communication blocking, and price-sensitive customers whose arrivals form a homogeneous Poisson process. The service provider quotes prices to incoming customers using either a static or dynamic pricing scheme. There may also be a holding cost for each customer in the system. The objective is to maximize either the discounted profit over an infinite planning horizon or the long-run average profit of the provider. We show that there exists an optimal dynamic policy that exhibits a monotone structure, in which the quoted price is non-decreasing in the queue length at either station and is non-increasing if a customer moves from station 1 to 2, for both the discounted and long-run average problems under certain conditions on the holding costs. We then focus on the long-run average problem and show that the optimal static policy performs as well as the optimal dynamic policy when the buffer size at station 1 becomes large, there are no holding costs, and the arrival rate is either small or large. We learn from numerical results that for systems with small arrival rates and no holding cost, the optimal static policy produces a gain quite close to the optimal gain even when the buffer at station 1 is small. On the other hand, for systems with arrival rates that are not small, there are cases where the optimal dynamic policy performs much better than the optimal static policy.

     

攀枝花地区昔格达组地层稀土元素地球化学特征及其古环境意义

昔格达组是广泛分布于我国西南地区的第四纪湖相沉积地层.对攀枝花青龙山砖厂内31.5 m厚的昔格达组剖面进行了稀土元素的研究,剖析了稀土元素及其比值在该地层中的分布特征和古环境意义.研究表明,剖面从31.5～14.8 m,各稀土含量较高;而从14.8～0 m,稀土含量整体降低.这一特征表明,在该地层沉积时期,沉积环境经历...
