从单子特性看莱布尼茨对知识主体的探究

从莱布尼茨的《人类理智新论》和《单子论》中梳理其认识论思想,尤其是他对认识主体的看法。莱布尼茨把一种精神客体———单子作为认识的主体,意在说明和强调认识主体的能动性和认识的辨证发展性质,但这种唯心主义的解决方式必然引申出天赋观念而最终走向先验论。尽管如此,莱布尼茨对认识主体的探究对于德国古典哲学发生了积极影响,对于我们今天面临的一些现实问题也不无启发意义。

Comparison of Biochemical Properties of Recombinant and Native Phanerochaete flavido-alba Laccases

Laccases are blue copper oxidases （E.C. 1.10.3.2 benzenediol：oxygen oxidoreductase） that catalyze the one-electron oxidation of phenolics, aromatic amines and other electron-rich substrates with the concomitant reduction of 02 to H20. They are currently seen as highly interesting industrial enzymes because of their broad substrate specificity. The Phanerochaete flavido-alba laccase is expressed and secreted as a soluble active enzyme by Aspergillus niger （rLac-LPFA）. rLac-LPFA is easily purified to homogeneity. Metal ions like HgCI2, KC12, FeSO4 and MgSO4 at a concentration of 2 mM have inhibiting effect on recombinant and native laccase, whereas, CuSO4 and MnSO4 moderately increase both enzyme activities. Two potential inhibitors （sodium azide and EDTA） inhibited enzyme activity, whereas, urea and SDS have no effect on enzyme activity. The Km and V,,ax values for recombinant laccase are 0.65 mM and 300 U/mg respectively for 2,6-DMP as substrate.

Gaussian particle filter based pose and motion estimation

Determination of relative three-dimensional （3D） position, orientation, and relative motion between two reference frames is an important problem in robotic guidance, manipulation, and assembly as well as in other fields such as photogrammetry. A solution to pose and motion estimation problem that uses two-dimensional （2D） intensity images from a single camera is desirable for real-time applications. The difficulty in performing this measurement is that the process of projecting 3D object features to 2D images is a nonlinear transformation. In this paper, the 3D transformation is modeled as a nonlinear stochastic system with the state estimation providing six degrees-of-freedom motion and position values, using line features in image plane as measuring inputs and dual quaternion to represent both rotation and translation in a unified notation. A filtering method called the Gaussian particle filter （GPF） based on the panicle filtering concept is presented for 3D pose and motion estimation of a moving target from monocular image sequences. The method has been implemented with simulated data, and simulation results are provided along with comparisons to the extended Kalman filter （EKF） and the unscented Kalman filter （UKF） to show the relative advantages of the GPF. Simulation results showed that GPF is a superior alternative to EKF and UKF.

Triazine COF-supported single-atom catalyst (Pd/trzn-COF) for CO oxidation

Single-atom catalysts(SACs) with well-defined and specific single-atom dispersion on supports offer great potential for achieving both high catalytic activity and selectivity. Covalent organic frameworks(COFs) with tailormade crystalline structures and designable atomic composition is a class of promising supports for SACs. Herein, we have studied the binding sites and stability of Pd single atoms(SAs)dispersed on triazine COF(Pd1/trzn-COF) and the reaction mechanism of CO oxidation using the density functional theory(DFT). By evaluating different adsorption sites, including the nucleophilic sp2C atoms, heteroatoms and the conjugated π-electrons of aromatic ring and triazine, it is found that Pd SAs can stably combine with trzn-COF with a binding energy around-5.0 eV, and there are two co-existing dynamic Pd1/trzn-COFs due to the adjacent binding sites on trzn-COF. The reaction activities of CO oxidation on Pd1/trzn-COF can be regulated by the anion–π interaction between a +δ phenyl center and the related-δ moieties as well as the electron-withdrawing feature of imine in the specific complexes. The Pd1/trzn-COF catalyst is found to have a high catalytic activity for CO oxidation via a plausible tri-molecular Eley-Rideal(TER) reaction mechanism. This work provides insights into the d–π interaction between Pd SAs and trznCOF, and helps to better understand and design new SACs supported on COF nanomaterials.

Construction of deep-blue AIE luminogens with TPE and oxadiazole units

In this paper, two AIE-active luminogens (Oxa-pTPE and Oxa-mTPE) constructed from tetraphenylethene and oxadiazole units were successfully synthesized and their thermal, optical and electronic properties were investigated. By linking TPE to the oxadiazole core through meta-or para-position, the intramolecular conjugation is effectively controlled. Thanks to the intelligent molecular design and specific AIE feature, when fabricated as emissive layers in non-doped OLEDs, they exhibit blue or deep-blue emission with CIE coordinates of (0.17, 0.23) and (0.15, 0.12), and good efficiencies with ηC, max and ηP, max up to 1.52 cd A-1 and 0.84 Im W-1 , shedding some light on the construction of deep-blue AIE fluorophores.

Experimental characterization of the bipolar effect on P-hit single-event transients in 65 nm twin-well and triple-well CMOS technologies

Single-event charge collection is controlled by drift, diffusion and the bipolar effect. Previous work has established that the bipolar effect is significant in the p-type metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor(PMOS) in 90 nm technology and above. However, the consequences of the bipolar effect on P-hit single-event transients have still not completely been characterized in 65 nm technology. In this paper, characterization of the consequences of the bipolar effect on P-hit single-event transients is performed by heavy ion experiments in both 65 nm twin-well and triple-well complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor(CMOS) technologies. Two inverter chains with clever layout structures are explored for the characterization. Ge(linear energy transfer(LET) = 37.4 Me V cm^2/mg) and Ti(LET = 22.2 Me V cm^2/mg) particles are also employed. The experimental results show that with Ge(Ti) exposure, the average pulse reduction is 49 ps(45 ps) in triple-well CMOS technology and 42 ps(32 ps) in twin-well CMOS technology when the bipolar effect is efficiently mitigated. This characterization will provide an important reference for radiation hardening integrated circuit design.

Spatial modulation characteristics of single-photon frequency up-conversion systems pumped by Gaussian laser beam

In a Gaussian laser beam pumped single-photon frequency up-conversion system, the spatial distribution of the con- version efficiency is calculated, which strongly depends on the intensity distribution of the pump beam and leads to a spatial modulation of the output single photons. As a result, by simply varying the Gauss/an pump beam intensity and the beam size, the converted photons could be modulated spatially and exhibit a programmable distribution. This will be meaningful for the researches on quantum communication and quantum manipulation based on frequency up-conversion svstem.

Pressure-induced changes in the magnetic properties of the single crystal of Mn_3 single-molecule magnet

The magnetic measurements of the single crystal of Mn3 single-molecule magnet under high pressure at T=2 K have been performed.We find both the antiferromagnetic intermolecular coupling parameter J and the effective energy barrier to vary compared with the measurements at low pressure.The increase of|J|is estimated to be 12%at 0.7 GPa when compared with that of0 GPa,whereas the effective energy barrier becomes smaller with increasing pressure.Our results demonstrate that the intermolecular interaction of single-molecule magnet can be changed by pressure.Compared with the normal magnetic alloy,the effect of pressure on the magnetic properties of Mn3 is much more prominent,which implies that Mn3 may have great potential in magnetic multifunctional material.

Single Photon Scattering Properties in Coupled-Resonator Waveguide Coupling with a Nanocavity Interacting with an External Mirror

We investigate theoretically single photon transport properties in coupled-resonator waveguide coupling with a nanocavity interacting with an external mirror. By using the discrete coordinates approach, transmission and reflection amplitudes of the propagating single photon in the waveguide are obtained. The influence of the coupling strength between the nanocavity and the external mirror on the single photon scattering spectra is discussed. We also extend the results to the waveguide with linear and quadratic form dispersion relations.

Theoretical study of the electronic ground states and low-lying singlet excited states of thiophene-based spirofluorenes

The electronic structures and optical properties of oligothiophene substituted spirofluorenes are investigated theoretically with semi-empirical quantum chemical calculations. A theoretical investigation of the interaction between two perpendicular π-systems of various oligothiophene substituted spirofluorenes is conducted. The results demonstrate that the interaction be- tween two perpendicular branches is reduced by oligothiophene substitutions. Photoexcitation induced relaxation is mainly located on one of the equivalent branches or the branch with longer conjugation length. In addition to these benefits brought by 9,9-spirobifluorene center, the specific oligothiophene moieties linked to the spirt center also have properties of significant merit, such as the ability to tune energy levels and emission colors by controlling the conjugation length.

Design of large-core single-mode Yb^(3+)-doped photonic crystal fiber

The effective index of the cladding fundamental space-filling mode in photonic crystal fiber (PCF) is simulated by the effective index method. The variation of the effective index with the structure parameters of the fiber is achieved. For the first time, the relations of the V parameter of Yb3+-doped PCF with the refractive index of core and the structure parameters of the fiber are provided. the single-mode characteristics of large-core Yb3+-doped photonic crystal fibers with 7 and 19 missing air holes in the core are analyzed. The large-core single-mode Yb3+-doped photonic crystal fibers with core diameters of 50 μm, 100 μm and 150 μm are designed. The results provide theory instruction for the design and fabrication of fiber.

Enhanced and tunable fluorescent quantum dots within a single crystal of protein

The design and synthesis of bio-nano hybrid materials can not only provide new materials with novel properties, but also advance our fundamental understanding of interactions between biomolecules and their abiotic counterparts. Here, we report a new approach to achieving such a goal by growing CdS quantum dots （QDs） within single crystals of lysozyme protein. This bio-nano hybrid emitted much stronger red fluorescence than its counterpart without the crystal, and such fluorescence properties could be either enhanced or suppressed by the addition of Ag（I） or Hg（II）, respectively. The three-dimensional incorporation of CdS QDs within the lysozyme crystals was revealed by scanning transmission electron microscopy with electron tomography. More importantl~ since our approach did not disrupt the crystalline nature of the lysozyme crystals, the metal and protein interactions were able to be studied by X-ray crystallography, thus providing insight into the role of Cd（II） in the CdS QDs formation.
