2,3-Dihydroferroceno[3,4]pyrrolo[2,1-b]thiazol-5(8b)-ones: Synthesis, Structure and DFT Study on the Mechanism of Chemo- and Diastereoslective Annulations of (<i>S</i>_p)... by Zoltán Kovács, Antal Csámpai

“…On the basis of the results of synthetic control experiments and a series of further DFT modelling studies, including energetic and MO analysis of the iminium intermediates, we propose a mechanism for the thiazolidine-forming annulations that proceed via primary <i>N</i>-acylation followed by proton-mediated cyclocondensation and subsequent diastereoselective sulfhydryl-attack on the resulting iminium center.…”

A Novel Friction Identification Method Based on a Two-Axis Differential Micro-Feed System by Zhen Zhang, Xianying Feng, Peigang Li, Anning Wang, Zhe Su

“…A novel corrected Stribeck curve based on the TDMS (TDMSSC) was proposed under the uniqueness of the TDMS structure. Control experiments showedn that the WSIM has higher precision and stability rather thancompared torather than the ACIM, and the correction of the Stribeck curve for the TDMS makes a contribution to the performance. …”

Spatiotemporal Changes of Cyanobacterial Bloom in Large Shallow Eutrophic Lake Taihu, China by Boqiang Qin, Guijun Yang, Jianrong Ma, Jianrong Ma, Tingfeng Wu, Wei Li, Lizhen Liu, Lizhen Liu, Jianming Deng, Jian Zhou

“…Based on the field observations and remote sensing monitoring of cyanobacterial bloom occurrence, in conjunction with laboratory controlled experiments of mixing effects on large colony formation and colonies upward moving velocity measurements, it is found that the small or moderate wind-induced disturbance would increase the colonies size and enable it more easily to overcome the mixing and float to water surface rapidly during post-disturbance. …”

Study of oxidation behavior and tensile properties of candidate superalloys in the air ingress simulation scenario by Bin Du, Haoxiang Li, Wei Zheng, Xuedong He, Tao Ma, Huaqiang Yin

“…Further, Inconel 617 showed a significant decrease in ultimate tensile strength and plasticity after aging for 200 h, whereas Incoloy 800H maintained its tensile properties satisfactorily. Through control experiment under vacuum, we preliminarily concluded that serious internal oxidation is the primary reason for the decline in the tensile properties of Inconel 617.…”

Construction of Multiple Switchable Sensors and Logic Gates Based on Carboxylated Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes/Poly(N,N-Diethylacrylamide) by Xuemei Wu, Xiaoqing Bai, Yang Ma, Jie Wei, Juan Peng, Keren Shi, Huiqin Yao

“…The electroactive drug probes matrine and sophoridine in solution showed reversible thermal-, salt-, methanol- and pH-responsive switchable cyclic voltammetric (CV) behaviors at the film electrodes. The control experiments showed that the pH-responsive property of the system could be ascribed to the drug components of the solutions, whereas the thermal-, salt- and methanol-sensitive behaviors were attributed to the PDEA constituent of the films. …”

Visible Light-Induced Photocatalyst with Au/TiO₂ Nanocomposites Fabricated through Pulsed Laser-Induced Photolysis by Bing-Yen Wang, Ya-Shing Hsiao, Pei-Ching Wei, Yuan-Tung Liu, Chih-Chien Chu, Vincent K. S. Hsiao

“…In contrast to other studies, we clarified the optical spectrum of the light sources, including peak power, bandwidth, and total intensity used for photodegradation reactions and discovered that the photodegradation efficiency of the produced Au–TiO₂ NCPs in the wavelength range of 405 nm could reach 37% in 30 min due to the charge transfer between Au and TiO₂. The control experiment shows that the addition of individual Au and TiO₂ nanoparticles (NPs) to an MB solution has no enhancement of degradation ability under visible light illumination. …”
