Expedient synthesis of heterocycles and methyl sulfonyl compounds via C-X BONDS (X = O, N, S) construction by Jiang, Yaojia

“…In chapter 3, we have described two methodologies to synthesize multi-substituted pyridines from rhodium-catalyzed nitrene reaction and DBU-mediated ring opening of 2-allyl-2H-azirines. In chapter 4, we have described a radical strategy promoted by copper, oxygen and HPO(OEt)2 for the difunctionalization of alkenes to synthesize β-keto methyl sulfones; meanwhile, we have also demonstrated that alkynes could be directly undergo methyl sulfonylation to afford (E)-vinyl methyl sulfones through modification of the reaction condition.…”

Controlling Cherenkov angles with resonance transition radiation by Lin, Xiao, Easo, Sajan, Shen, Yichen, Chen, Hongsheng, Zhang, Baile, Joannopoulos, John D., Soljačić, Marin, Kaminer, Ido

“…However, since the Cherenkov angle depends only on the material’s permittivity, the material unavoidably sets a fundamental limit to the momentum coverage and sensitivity of Cherenkov detectors. For example, ring-imaging Cherenkov detectors must employ materials transparent to the frequency of interest as well as possessing permittivities close to unity to identify particles in the multi-gigaelectronvolt range, and thus are often limited to large gas chambers. …”

A multi-beam circularly polarised Fabry-Perot resonator antenna array using SIW for X-Band applications by Khajeh Mohammad Lou, Reza, Aribi, Tohid, Sedghi, Tohid, Virdee, Bal Singh

“…This paper presents a novel multi-layer beamforming antenna array based on Fabry-Perot resonator that is excited by a high performance compact 4 × 4 Butler matrix using substrate integrated waveguide SIW) technology for X-band application. The adapted ring patch antenna is fed through the aperture on a rectangular SIW cavity and forms the radiating element in the antenna array. …”
