A unified analysis of a micro-beam,droplet and CNT ring adhered on a substrate:Calculation of variation with movable boundaries

In this study, we developed a general method to analytically tackle a kind of movable boundary problem from the viewpoint of energy variation. Having grouped the adhesion of a micro-beam, droplet and carbon nanotube （CNT） ring on a substrate into one framework, we used the developed line of reasoning to investigate the adhesion behaviors of these systems. Based upon the derived governing equations and transversality conditions, explicit solutions involving the critical parameters and morphologies for the three systems are successfully obtained, and then the parameter analogies and common characteristics of them are thor- oughly investigated. The presented method has been verified via the concept of energy release rate in fracture mechanics. Our analyses provide a new approach for exploring the mechanism of different systems with similarities as well as for understanding the unity of nature. The analysis results may be beneficial for the design of nano-structured materi- als, and hold potential for enhancing their mechanical, chemical, optical and electronic properties.

Formation of Hybrid Ring Structure of Cyanurate/Isocyanurate in the Reaction be-tween 2,4,6-Tris(4-Phenyl-Phenoxy)-1, 3,5-Triazine and Phenyl Glycidyl Ether

Reaction products of 2,4,6-tris(4-phenyl-phenoxy)-1,3,5-triazine derived from 4-phenylphenol cyanate ester and phenyl glycidyl ether were analyzed. In addition to an isocyanurate compound and an oxazolidone compound which were well known as reaction products of cyanate esters and epoxy resins, compounds with hybrid ring structure of cyanurate/isocyanurate were determined. Gibbs free energies of the compound having hybrid ring structure of cyanurate/isocyanurate with two isocyanurate moiety were found to be lower than that of the compound with cyanurate ring structure through calculations. Calculation data supported the existence of hybrid ring structure of cy-anurate/isocyanurate. It was revealed that isomerization from cyanurate to isocyanurate occurs via hybrid ring structure of cyanurate/isocyanurate in the reaction of aryl cyanurate and epoxy.

Selective Construction of Borromean Rings and Tweezer-Like Molecular Assembly Featuring Cp^(*)Rh/Ir Clips for Near-Infrared Photothermal Conversion

Making full use of coordination-driven self-assembly strategy,we herein described the selective synthesis of a molecular Borromean rings and two cases of “U”-shaped tweezer-like molecular assemblies in high yield by using bipyridyl ligands based on biphenyl unit and half-sandwich binuclear rhodium(III)/iridium(III) building blocks.The selective synthesis was realized by adjusting the length of dipyridyl arms.The utilization of curved U-shaped bipyridyl ligand L1 led to tweezer-like molecular assemblies.Subsequently,olefinic bonds were introduced to elongate dipyridyl arms obtaining ligand L2.The ligand L2 has two stable conformations,U-shape and Z-shape,which facilitated the formation of different topologies including the tetranuclear macrocycle and Borromean rings with different building blocks in this work.These structures in solid and solution all have been further confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction,NMR analysis,and mass spectrometry.In addition,as an important driving force,π-π stacking interactions not only played a significant role in the stability of structures but also further triggered photothermal conversion in solution.The experimental results demonstrated that compounds 1a and 2 had good NIR photothermal conversion efficiency (11.83% and 17.76%),and further analysis found the photothermal conversion efficiency had a gradual increase in the trend with the π-π stacking interactions increasing.This research expands the application of topological structures in materials science and provides a new idea for the synthesis of novel photothermal conversion materials.

Investigation on 3Dt wake flow structures of swimming bionic fish

A bionic experimental platform was designed for the purpose of investigating time accurate three-dimensional flow field, using digital particle image velocimetry （DSPIV）. The wake behind the flapping trail of a robotic fish model was studied at high spatial resolution. The study was performed in a water channel. A robot fish model was designed and built. The model was fixed onto a rigid support frame- work using a cable-supporting method, with twelve stretched wires. The entire tail of the model can perform prescribed motions in two degrees of freedom, mainly in carangiform mode, by driving its afterbody and lunate caudal fin respectively. The DSPIV system was set up to operate in a trans- lational manner, measuring velocity field in a series of parallel slices. Phase locked measurements were repeated for a number of runs, allowing reconstruction of phase average flow field. Vortex structures with phase history of the wake were obtained. The study reveals some new and complex three-dimensional flow structures in the wake of the fish, including ＂reverse hairpin vortex＂ and ＂reverse Karman S-H vortex rings＂, allowing insight into physics of this complex flow.

2-channel all optical demultiplexer based on photonic crystal ring resonator

In this paper, we proposed a 2-channel demultiplexer based on photonic crystal ring resonator （PCRR）. For performing wavelength selection, we used two ring resonators, two different wavelengths were obtained by using two resonant rings with different values for the radius of dielectric rods. All the simulations and calculations have been done using Rsoft Photonic CAD software, which employs finite difference time domain （FDTD） method. The output channels were respectively at 1590.8 and 1593.8nm, correspondingly had the quality factors of 7954 and 3984, the crosstalk values of -22 and -11 dB separately. The total footprint of our proposed structure is 681.36 μm2. Results suggest that 2-channels in the proposed structure are characterized with high transmission efficiency and low band width, resulting in a very sharp output spectrum and high quality factor values.

On π-Regular Rings with Involution

A ring R is π-regular if for every a in R, there is a positive integer n such that a^n R is generated by an idempotent. In this paper, we introduce the notion of π-＊-regular rings, which is the ＊-version of π-regular rings. We prove various properties of π-＊-regular rings, and establish many equivalent characterizations of abelian π-＊-regular rings.

PRESTABILIZATION FOR K_1U~ε OF A-2-FOLD RINGS

Vaserstein introduced the K1-functor for the unitary groups over the associative ring with involution, studied the stabilization of unitary K1 for some rings with the stable range condition; and particularly described the prestabilization for K1Uε of local rings. In this report, we study the prestabilization for K1Uε of a class of rings satisfying the condition Sr（R） ≤1 which is introduced by Vaserstein and Bass.

Carboalumination-Epoxide Ring Opening for the Formation of 1,4-Disubstituted （Z）-3,6-Alkadienols

Allylalumination of alkynes （i.e. forming Negishi＇s （Z）-alkenyl dialkylalane） followed by alkenylation of epoxides provides 1,4-disubstituted （Z）-3,6-alkadienols. The alkenylation can be facilitated by the presence of a neighbouring coordinating group in the epoxides. This ＂one-pot＂ approach has been successfully applied in the large-scale production of C 10--C 15 fragment of 9,10-didehydroepothilone D （a synthetic epothilone analog as an anti-cancer agent in phase 2 clinical trials）.

A facile approach for the construction of the oxetane ring from 5α-acyloxy-Δ^(4(20)) - taxoids

An oxetane ring can be constructed from 5α-acyloxy-Δ4(20)-taxoids. Hie facile intramolecular acyl migration from 5- to 20-position under slightly basic conditions enabled the construction of the oxetane ring in a convenient short cut, whereas the acyl migration from 2- to 20-position left the 2-hydroxyl accessible to a later benzoylation. An unexpected five-mem-bered 4-O, 20- O sulfite ring was formed in the attempted construction of the oxetane ring with 5α-triflate as a leaving group. After the construction of the oxetane ring, treatment with strong base LiHMDS and acetyl chloride gave the expected 4-O-acetate while treatment with acetic anhydride and DMAP gave a 4-O-acetoacetate.
