Facile and stereo-controlled synthesis of 2-deoxynojirimycin, Miglustat and Miglitol

A novel and facile synthesis of a series of the biologically significant iminosugar derivatives including 2-deoxynojirimycin, Miglustat and Miglitol is reported. The synthesis features a strategic double inversion mechanism for securing the desired stereochemistry at C5 position of such glucose-type carbohydrate mimetics, representing a practical and remarkable improvement on the previously reported method that suffers from the loss of the stereo-control during the reaction process.     

Wavelet threshold method of resolving noise interference in periodic short-impulse signals chaotic detection

The chaotic oscillator has already been considered as a powerful method to detect weak signals, even weak signals accompanied with noises. However, many examples, analyses and simulations indicate that chaotic oscillator detection system cannot guarantee the immunity to noises (even white noise). In fact the randomness of noises has a serious or even a destructive effect on the detection results in many cases. To solve this problem, we present a new detecting method based on wavelet threshold processing that can detect the chaotic weak signal accompanied with noise. All theoretical analyses and simulation experiments indicate that the new method reduces the noise interferences to detection significantly, thereby making the corresponding chaotic oscillator that detects the weak signals accompanied with noises more stable and reliable.     

First-principle study of the electronic and optical properties of BInGaAs quaternary alloy lattice-matched to GaAs

The first-principle calculations based on density functional theory have been used to study the electronic and optical properties of zinc-blende BInGaAs quaternary alloy lattice-matched to GaAs. The calculated results show the band gap of BInGaAs alloy are direct and the band gap will reduce with the increment of boron and indium composition. The electronic structures of BInGaAs alloy are analyzed via the calculation of density of states. The variation of optical properties including dielectric function, absorption coefficient, reflectivity, refractive index and energy loss function of the alloy were also investigated in detail.     

One-pot synthesis of pyrrolidino- and piperidinoquinolinones by three-component aza-Diels-Alder reactions of in situ generated N-arylimines and cyclic enamides

An efficient synthesis of hexahydropyrrolo[3,2-c]quinolin-2-ones and hexahydropyridino[3,2-c]quinolin-2-ones has been developed in moderate to high yields by one-pot two-step aza-Diels-Alder reactions of N-arylimines, formed in situ from anilines and benzaldehydes, with cyclic enamides, formed in situ from 5-hydroxypyrrolidin-2-ones and 6-hydroxypiperidin-2-ones by BF₃·OEt₂-promoted dehydration in dichloromethane at room temperature. The hexahydropyrrolo[3,2-c]quinolin-2-ones were formed as a single exo-stereoisomer in most cases and hexahydropyridino[3,2-c]quinolin-2-ones were formed as a mixture of exo- and endo-isomers favoring the endo-diastereomer.     

Magnetic properties in silica-coated CoFe2O4 nanoparticles: Quantitative test for a theory of single-domain particles with cubic anisotropy

We report magnetic properties of silica-coated CoFe₂O₄ nanoparticles (about 32 nm) in a wide temperature range (4-700 K). Coating CoFe₂O₄ nanoparticles with amorphous silica yields an assembly of noninteracting single-domain particles with cubic magnetocrystalline anisotropy. We find that the reduced remanence is about 0.81-0.82 at low temperatures (?100 K), very close to the theoretical prediction (0.83) for cubic anisotropy. The room-temperature anisotropy constant K₁ inferred from the data is also in quantitative agreement with the bulk value (1.8×¹⁰⁶ erg/cm³). The current work thus provides a quantitative test for a theory of noninteracting single-domain particles with cubic anisotropy.     

Synchronization for delayed non-autonomous reaction-diffusion fuzzy cellular neural networks

In this letter, the synchronization schemes for delayed non-autonomous reaction-diffusion fuzzy cellular neural networks is considered. Based on the simple adaptive controller, a set of sufficient conditions to guarantee the synchronization are obtained. Moreover, the asymptotic behavior of the unknown parameters can be derived in the meanwhile. At last, some examples are given to show the effectiveness of the main results.     

Method for estimating the impact of atmospheric turbulence on 3D angular deformations measurement

The optical method is one of the most accurate methods for the 3D angular deformations measurement. However, the measured results fluctuate around a mean value as a result of the impact of the atmospheric turbulence, and the relationship between the fluctuation and the atmospheric turbulence is unclear. In this paper, we propose an optical 3D angular deformations measurement method to analyze the optical wave propagation, and study the impact of the atmospheric turbulence. The fluctuations of the three deformation angles are calculated in different atmospheric turbulences. It is found that this optical method is not suitable for high accuracy measurement with the refractive-index structure parameter larger than 10⁻¹⁴ m^−2/3. When the widths of the crosshairs fringes are different, the impacts of the atmospheric turbulence are nearly the same. It is also found that the impact of the atmospheric turbulence can be reduced by increasing the gray value of the image.     

Least-squares calibration method for fringe projection profilometry with some practical considerations

Fringe projection profilometry (FPP) is a widely used three-dimensional profile measurement technique. One vital step in this technique is calibration, which determines the system accuracy. The least-squares method, because of its flexibility and simplicity, is commonly used in system calibration for FPP. However, calibration results are affected by the nonlinear gamma of the projector and projection fringe cycle broadening. This paper proposes a new look-up table (LUT) generation method by analyzing the differences between the real and ideal unwrapped phases. The aforementioned problems could then be solved after the phase error is compensated by the LUT. Finally, the validity of the proposed method is demonstrated through experiments, and the accuracy reaches 0.02 mm.     

Heterogeneous bimetallic Pt-Sn/γ-Al2O3 catalyzed direct synthesis of diamines from N-alkylation of amines with diols through a borrowing hydrogen strategy

Direct synthesis of diamines has been efficiently realized from the N-alkylation of amines with diols by means of heterogeneous bimetallic Pt-Sn/γ-Al₂O₃ catalyst (0.5 wt % Pt, molar ratio Pt:Sn = 1:3) through a ‘Borrowing Hydrogen’ strategy under ligand-free conditions. The present methodology provides an environmentally benign route to diamines.
