The Improvement of Performance for Continuous-Variable Quantum Key Distribution with Imperfect Gaussian Modulation

Gaussian modulation is one of the key steps for the implementation of continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CVQKD) schemes. However, imperfection in the Gaussian modulation may introduce modulation noise that can deteriorate the performance of CVQKD systems. In this paper, we mainly investigate how to improve the performance of a CVQKD system from different aspects. First, we explore the several different origins, impacts and monitoring schemes for the modulation noise in detail. Then, we discuss the practical performance of a CVQKD system with an untrusted noise model and neutral party model, respectively. These analyses indicate that the neutral party model should be reasonably regarded as a general noise model, which will passively and greatly raise the performance of the system. Further, we propose a dynamic auto-bias control scheme to actively resist the modulation noise which comes from the drift of bias point of the amplitude modulator. Together these methods contribute to the improvement of the practical performance of CVQKD systems with imperfect Gaussian modulation.

Inhibitory Effects of Myriocin on Non-Enzymatic Glycation of Bovine Serum Albumin

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are the compounds produced by non-enzymatic glycation of proteins, which are involved in diabetic-related complications. To investigate the potential anti-glycation activity of Myriocin (Myr), a fungal metabolite of Cordyceps, the effect of Myr on the formation of AGEs resulted from the glycation of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and the interaction between Myr and BSA were studied by multiple spectroscopic techniques and computational simulations. We found that Myr inhibited the formation of AGEs at the end stage of glycation reaction and exhibited strong anti-fibrillation activity. Spectroscopic analysis revealed that Myr quenched the fluorescence of BSA in a static process, with the possible formation of a complex (approximate molar ratio of 1:1). The binding between BSA and Myr mainly depended on van der Waals interaction, hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bond. The synchronous fluorescence and UV-visible (UV-vis) spectra results indicated that the conformation of BSA altered in the presence of Myr. The fluorescent probe displacement experiments and molecular docking suggested that Myr primarily bound to binding site 1 (subdomain IIA) of BSA. These findings demonstrate that Myr is a potential anti-glycation agent and provide a theoretical basis for the further functional research of Myr in the prevention and treatment of AGEs-related diseases.     

基于KFCM增量更新的无线电引信目标识别方法

针对传统无线电引信在复杂电磁环境下作用效果较差的问题,以连续波多普勒引信为例,通过对引信检波输出信号频域的分析,提出一种基于熵的特征提取方法,并利用KFCM算法对信号进行分类识别。由于实际战场环境复杂且不可预测,其背景噪声强度与实验环境下存在差异,因此结合KFCM增量更新特性,使分类模型根据噪声强度变化而实时更新调整,从而达到更好的分类效果。实验结果证明,基于增量更新KFCM算法能显著提高不同信噪比下引信目标识别能力,将KFCM增量更新算法运用到无线电引信抗干扰能取得良好效果。     

NiW/γ-Al2O3加氢催化剂化学吸附性质的研究

采用脉冲色谱法测定了噻吩在硫化态NiW/γ-Al2O3催化剂上化学吸附过程中热力学函数的变化,并与噻吩加氢脱硫(HDS)反应活性进行了关联.结果表明,噻吩在硫化态NiW/γ-Al2O3催化剂上的吸附不能太强,催化剂中的Ni可以降低噻吩在催化剂表面上的吸附强度,增加HDS反应活性中心的数目.从H2在硫化态NiW/γ-Al2O3催化剂上吸附后的程序升温脱附实验结果发现,H2在硫化态催化剂上有两种吸附态,高温脱附所对应的吸附态与HDS反应有关.     

Design, synthesis and antifibrotic activities of carbohydrate-modified 1-(substituted aryl)-5-trifluoromethyl-2(1H) pyridones

Pirfenidone, a pyridone compound, is an effective and novel antifibrotic agent. In this article, we describe the design, synthesis and activity evaluation of novel antifibrotic agents, 1-(substituted aryl)-5-trifluoromethyl-2(1H) pyridones modified with carbohydrate. Most of the title compounds exhibited comparable or better inhibitory activity than fluorofenidone. Notably, compound 19a demonstrated the highest cell-based inhibitory activity against NIH 3T3 (IC(50) = 0.17 mM).     

Hydrothermal synthesis of ultralong and single-crystalline Cd(OH)2 nanowires using alkali salts as mineralizers

Ultralong and single-crystalline Cd(OH)(2) nanowires were fabricated by a hydrothermal method using alkali salts as mineralizers. The morphology and size of the final products strongly depend on the effects of the alkali salts (e.g., KCl, KNO(3), and K(2)SO(4) or NaCl, NaNO(3), and Na(2)SO(4)). When the salt is absent, only nanoparticles are observed in TEM images of the products. The 1D nanostructure growth method presented herein offers an excellent tool for the design of other advanced materials with anisotropic properties. In addition, the Cd(OH)(2) nanowires might act as a template or precursor that is potentially converted into 1D cadmium oxide through dehydration or into 1D nanostructures of other functional materials (e.g., CdS, CdSe).
