A new flexible double betaine L （L = 1,4-bis（pyridinio-4-carboxylato-N-methyl）benzene, C20H16N2O4） and its cadmium（Ⅱ） complex [Cd（H2O）aL（NO3）]NO3.H2O 1 were synthesized. Complex 1 was obtained by self-assembly reaction of [Cd（NO3）2]-4H2O and L in hot water,and its crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Crystallographic data for complex 1： C20H24CdN4O14.H2O, Mr = 674.85, monoclinic, space group P21/c, a =13.7854（3）, b = 14.2820（3）, c = 14.9188（4） ,A°, β = 116.418（1）°, V = 2630.5（1）A°^3, Z = 4, Dc= 1.704g/cm^3,/J（MoKα） = 0.911 mm^-1, F（000） = 1368, the final R = 0.0315 and wR = 0.0768 for 3637 observed reflections with I 〉 2σ（I）. In complex 1, L acts as a monodentate ligand to link a Cd（Ⅱ） ion in a novel coordination mode of double betaines. The mononuclear [Cd（H2O）aL（NO3）] units are connected through intermolecular hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking reactions to generate a 3D network.

Highly active double metal cyanide complexes: Effect of central metal and ligand on reaction of epoxide/CO2

Various novel double metal cyanide （DMC） catalysts were successfully prepared by modifying the central metal （M） and one of cyanide ion （CN-） in Zna[M（CN）b]c complex. Such modifications have significant impact on the catalytic efficiency as well as the polymer selectivity for the reaction of PO/CO2. Zn-Ni（Ⅱ） DMC is a potential catalyst for alternating copolymerization of PO/CO2,and DMC catalysts based on Zn3[Co（CN）5X]2 （X = Br^- and N3^-） exhibit moderate efficiency for the production of polycarbonates.This research presents the preliminary exploration of novel DMC complex via chemical modification of its central metal and ligand.

RANDOM COPOLYMER OF PROPYLENE OXIDE AND ETHYLENE OXIDE PREPARED BY DOUBLE METAL CYANIDE COMPLEX CATALYST

Copolymerization of propylene oxide (PO) and ethylene oxide (EO) using double metal cyanide (DMC) complex as the catalyst was carried out. The structure of random copolymers was confirmed by C-13-NMR and IR spectra. H-1-NMR analysis shows that the EO content in the copolymer is the same as that in the initial monomer feed. Moderate molecular weight copolymers with various EO content were obtained and their values of molecular weight distribution (MWD) fell in the range of 1.21-1.55. It was found that the molecular weight of copolymers is controlled by the mass ratio of EO+PO to initiator moles used, The reaction rate as well as polymer yield decrease with increasing EO content in the feed composition.

Reconstructing Equation of State for Dark Energy in Double Complex Symmetric Gravitational Theory

We propose to study the accelerating expansion of the universe in the double complex symmetric gravitational theory （DCSGT）. The universe we live in is taken as the real part of the whole spacetime MC^4（J）, which is double complex. By introducing the spatially flat FRW metric, not only the double Friedmann equations but also the two constraint conditions py = 0 and J^2 = 1 are obtained. Farthermore, using parametric DL（z） ansatz, we reconstruct the ω/（z） and V（Ф） for dark energy from real observational data. We find that in the two cases of J = i, pJ = 0, and J = ε, pJ≠0, the corresponding equations of state ω＇（z） remain close to -1 at present （z = 0） and change from below -1 to above -1. The results illustrate that the whole spacetime, i.e. the double complex spacetime MC^4（J）, may be either ordinary complex （J = i, pJ = 0） or hyperbolic complex （J = ε, pJ≠ 0）. And the fate of the universe would be Big Rip in the future.

Mechanism of Excited State Double Proton Transfer in 2-Amino-3-Methoxypyridine and Acetic Acid Complex

The excited-state double-proton transfer （ESDPT） mechanism of 2-amino-3-methoxypyridine and acetic acid com- plex is studied by the density functional theory （DFT） and time-dependent DFT with CAM-B3LYP functional. The complex is connected through two different types of inter-molecular hydrogen bonds. After photo-excitation, both hydrogen bonds get strengthened, which can facilitate the ESDPT reaction. The scanned potential energy curve along the proton transfer coordinate indicates that the ESDPT reaction proceeds in a stepwise pattern.

Adaptive Hybrid Bivariate Double Density Discrete and Complex Wavelet for Image Denoising

Image denoising is an important step in eliminating any noise impact in any image transmission process. Recently we presented two approaches for Bivariate based image denoising. They were Double Density Discrete Wavelet Transform (DD DWT) and Double Density Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (DD CWT). In both techniques we decomposed noisy images with either DD DWT or DD CWT decompositions and then applied the Bivariate based denoising technique for noise removal. In this paper we propose an adaptive hybrid technique for Bivariate based image denoising that is based on the synthesis of DD-DWT bands or DD-CWT bands but with different weights, to deliver enhanced image features with less denoising impact especially around image edges, which is the most effected by noisy transmission channels. This proposed technique has been also enhanced by edge sharpening and Eigen analysis, as two separate stages. Simulation result comparisons have been performed between the proposed hybrid band adaptive DD-DWT and DD-CWT technique and the two primary techniques DD-DWT, DD- CWT, as well as other superior literature techniques such the original bivariate denoising technique with both original Complex Wavelet Transform and Double Density decompositions. This work in specific compares between Double Density DWT and Double Density CWT decompositions, proposes new filter design that suits each of them and proposes a hybrid technique between as will be shown.

High efficiency spreading spectrum modulation using double orthogonal complex sequences

This paper presents a novel scheme of high efficiency spreading spectrum modulation using double orthogonal complex sequences （DoCS）. In this scheme, input data bit-stream is split into many groups with length M. Each group is then mapped into a word of width M and then utihzed to select one sequence from 2u-2 DoCS sequences each with length L. After that, the selected sequence is modulated on carrier in quadrature phase shift keying （QPSK） mode. In addition, a new method named forward phase correction （FPC） is put forward for carrier recovery. Theoretical analysis and bit-error-ratio（BER） experiment results indicate that the proposed scheme has better performance than the conventional direct sequence spread spectrum（DSSS） scheme both in bandwidth efficiency and processing gain of the receiver.

Two Cases of Double Crush Syndrome Progressing to Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

The double crush syndrome is described as an increased risk of distal nerve injury after a more proximal injury. This was a case series of two patients who developed Complex Regional Pain Syndrome under circumstances when a double crush phenomenon could have occurred. Both initially had spinal stenosis and subsequent spinal surgery. Both later had crush injuries to a unilateral lower extremity, which progressed to CRPS. There is no documented correlation between double crush syndrome and CRPS;however, these cases raise awareness about a heightened propensity for CRPS in such patients, which will lead to earlier, accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Zircon age depth-profiling sheds light on the early Caledonian evolution of the Seve Nappe Complex in west-central J?mtland

The Scandinavian Caledonides comprise nappe stacks of far-travelled allochthons that record closure of the Iapetus Ocean and subsequent continental collision of Baltica and Laurentia.The Seve Nappe Complex(SNC)of the Scandinavian Caledonides includes relics of the outermost Baltoscandian passive margin that were subducted to mantle depths.The earliest of the deep subduction events has been dated to ca.500-480 Ma.Evidence of this event has been reported from the northern exposures of the SNC.Farther south in the central and southern segments of the SNC,(ultra)high-pressure rocks have yielded younger ages in the range of ca.470-440 Ma.This study provides the first record of the early Caledonian event in the southern SNC.The evidence has been obtained by depth profiling of zircon grains that were extracted from the Tv?r?klumparna microdiamond-bearing gneiss.These zircon grains preserve eclogite facies overgrowths that crystallized at 482.6±3.8 Ma.A second,chemically-distinct zircon overgrowth records granulite facies metamorphism at 439.3±3.6 Ma,which corroborates previous geochronological evidence for granulite facies metamorphism at this time.Based on these results,we propose that the entire outer margin of Baltica was subducted in the late Cambrian to early Ordovician,but the record of this event may be almost entirely eradicated in the vast majority of lithologies by pervasive late Ordovician to early Silurian metamorphism.

Naked DNA in cells:An inducer of major histocompatibility complex molecules to evoke autoimmune responses?

The major histocompatibility complex(MHC) is the exclusive chaperone that presents intracellular antigens,either self or foreign to T cells.Interestingly,aberrant expression of MHC molecules has been reported in various autoimmune target tissues such as thyroid follicular cells in Grave's disease.Herein,we review the discovery of an unexpected effect of cytosolic doublestranded DNA(ds DNA),despite its origins,to induce antigen processing and presenting genes,including MHC molecules,in non-immune cells.Moreover,we highlight several recent studies that suggest cell injury endows thyroid epithelial cells with a phenotype of mature antigen presenting cells by inducing multiple antigen processing and presenting genes via releasing genomic DNA fragments into the cytosol.We discuss the possibility that such cytosolic ds DNA,in naked form without binding to histone proteins,might be involved in the development of cell damage-triggered autoimmune responses.We also discuss the possible molecular mechanism by which cytosolic ds DNA can induce MHC molecules.It is reasonable to speculate that cytosolic ds DNA-induced MHC class Ⅰ is partially due to an autocrine/paracrine effect of type Ⅰ interferon(IFN).While the mechanism of cytosolic ds DNA-induced MHC class Ⅱ expression appears,at least partially,distinct from that mediated by IFN-γ.Further in-depth are required to clarify this picture.
