文摘Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)has garnered increased attention as a result of its persistent symptoms,which undermine patientsʼquality of life.Fudosteine has substantial advantages in the treatment of COPD due to its high efficacy and low adverse effects.In this study,Fudosteine sulfonamide derivatives Series I and amine derivatives Series II were designed and synthesized,and their biological activities were evaluated.The results showed that compound 6f had outstanding anti-inflammatory action with an IC_(50) of 1.08 mmol/L,and a higher antioxidant capacity than the lead molecule.At the same time,molecular docking investigations have revealed that compound 6f establishes hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic contacts with the MUC5AC protein.Furthermore,derivative 1f inhibited PDE4A1 enzyme activity five times more than Fudosteine.2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH)free radical scavenging tests demonstrated that all examined substances had higher antioxidant activity than Fudosteine.This study established a solid foundation for further research into COPD drug therapy.
文摘The selective hydrogenation ofα,β-unsaturated aldehydes/ketones enables precise control over product structures and properties by regulating hydrogen transport pathways and bond cleavage sequences to selectively reduce C=C or C=O bonds while preserving other functional groups within the molecule.This approach serves as a critical strategy for the directional synthesis of high-value molecules.However,achieving such selectivity remains challenging due to the thermodynamic equilibrium and kinetic competition between C=O and C=C bonds inα,β-unsaturated systems.Consequently,constructing precisely targeted catalytic systems is essential to overcome these limitations,offering both fundamental scientific significance and industrial application potential.Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)and their derivatives have emerged as innovative platforms for designing such systems,owing to their programmable topology,tunable pore microenvironments,spatially controllable active sites,and modifiable electronic structures.This review systematically summarizes the research progress of MOF-based catalysts for selec-tive hydrogenation ofα,β-unsaturated aldehydes/ketones in the last decade,with emphasis on the design strategy,conformational relationship,and catalytic mechanism,aiming to provide new ideas for the design of targeted catalyt-ic systems for the selective hydrogenation ofα,β-unsaturated aldehydes/ketones.
文摘Two tetrasubstituted carbazole derivatives TBICz and TOXDCz have been designed and synthesized,which possess the twist skeletons and exhibit excellent thermal and morphological stabilities.Utilizing these novel compounds as host material,high efficiency solution-processed green phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes(PhOLEDs)have been achieved.The high triplet energies of TBICz and TOXDCz ensure efficient energy transfer from the host to the phosphor and triplet exciton confinement on the phosphor.Solution-processable green phospho⁃rescent devices employing Ir(ppy)3 as vip and the two tetrasubstituted carbazole derivatives as hosts exhibit high ef⁃ficiencies.The best EL performance is achieved for the TBICz-based device,with a maximum current efficiency of 27.3 cd/A,a maximum power efficiency of 15.9 lm/W,and a maximum external quantum efficiency of 7.8%,which provides more host material options for solution-processed OLEDs.
文摘One of the evolving hand biometric features considered so far is finger knuckle printing,because of its ability towards unique identification of individuals.Despite many attempts have been made in this area of research,the accuracy of the recognition model remains a major issue.To overcome this problem,a novel biometric-based method,named fingerknuckle-print(FKP),has been developed for individual verification.The proposed system carries key steps such as preprocessing,segmentation,feature extraction and classification.Initially input FKP image is fed into the preprocessing stage where colour images are converted to gray scale image for augmenting the system performance.Afterwards,segmentation process is carried out with the help of CROI(Circular Region of Interest)and Morphological operation.Then,feature extraction stage is carried out using Gabor-Derivative line approach for extracting intrinsic features.Finally,DCNN(Deep Convolutional Neural Network)is trained for the processed knuckle images to recognize imposter and genuine individuals.Extensive experiments on standard FKP database demonstrates that the proposed method attains considerable improvement compared with state-of-the-art methods.The overall accuracy attained for the proposed methodology is 95.6%which is achieved better than the existing techniques.

文摘To investigate the temperature susceptibility and nonlinear memory effects of artificially frozen soil creep behavior,this study conducted uniaxial step-loading creep tests under controlled temperatures ranging from-10℃to-20℃.The transient creep characteristics and steady-state creep rates of artificially frozen soils were systematically examined with respect to variations in temperature and stress.Experimental results demonstrate that decreasing temperatures lead to a decaying trend in the steady-state creep rate of silty frozen soil,confirming that low-temperature environments significantly inhibit plastic flow while enhancing material stiffness.Based on fractional calculus theory,a fractional derivative creep model was established.By incorporating temperature dependencies,the model was further improved to account for both stress and temperature effects.The model predictions align closely with experimental data,achieving over 91%agreement(standard deviation±1.8%),and effectively capture the stress-strain behavior of artificially frozen soil under varying thermal conditions.This research provides a reliable theoretical foundation for studying deformation characteristics in cold-regions engineering.

文摘Scalar fields should have no spin angular momentum according to conventional textbook understandings inclassical field theory.Yet,recent studies demonstrate the undoubted existence of wave spin endowed by acousticand elastic longitudinal waves,which are of irrotational curl-free nature without vorticity and can be describedby scalar fields.Moreover,the conventional theory cannot even answer the question of whether wave spin existsin dissipative fields,given the ubiquitous dissipation in reality.Here,to resolve the seeming paradox and answerthe challenging question,we uncover the origin of wave spin in scalar fields beyond traditional formalism byclarifying that the presence of higher-order derivatives in scalar field Lagrangians can give rise to non-vanishingwave spin.For“spinless”scalar fields of only first-order derivatives,we can make the hidden wave spin emergeby revealing a latent field that leads to the original field through a time derivative,thus giving higher-order termsin Lagrangian.Based on the standard Noether theorem approach,we exemplify the wave spin for unconventionaldrifted acoustic fields,and even for dissipative media,in scalar fields with higher-order derivative Lagrangian.The results would prompt people to build more comprehensive and fundamental understandings of structuralwave spin in classical fields.

文摘In this article,we develop the Laplace transform(LT)based Chebyshev spectral collocation method(CSCM)to approximate the time fractional advection-diffusion equation,incorporating the Atangana-Baleanu Caputo(ABC)derivative.The advection-diffusion equation,which governs the transport of mass,heat,or energy through combined advection and diffusion processes,is central to modeling physical systems with nonlocal behavior.Our numerical scheme employs the LT to transform the time-dependent time-fractional PDEs into a time-independent PDE in LT domain,eliminating the need for classical time-stepping methods that often suffer from stability constraints.For spatial discretization,we employ the CSCM,where the solution is approximated using Lagrange interpolation polynomial based on the Chebyshev collocation nodes,achieving exponential convergence that outperforms the algebraic convergence rates of finite difference and finite element methods.Finally,the solution is reverted to the time domain using contour integration technique.We also establish the existence and uniqueness of the solution for the proposed problem.The performance,efficiency,and accuracy of the proposed method are validated through various fractional advection-diffusion problems.The computed results demonstrate that the proposed method has less computational cost and is highly accurate.

文摘The quantum geometric tensor(QGT)is a fundamental quantity for characterizing the geometric properties of quantum states and plays an essential role in elucidating various physical phenomena.The traditional QGT,defned only for pure states,has limited applicability in realistic scenarios where mixed states are common.To address this limitation,we generalize the defnition of the QGT to mixed states using the purifcation bundle and the covariant derivative.Notably,our proposed defnition reduces to the traditional QGT when mixed states approach pure states.In our framework,the real and imaginary parts of this generalized QGT correspond to the Bures metric and the mean gauge curvature,respectively,endowing it with a broad range of potential applications.Additionally,using our proposed mixed-state QGT,we derive the geodesic equation applicable to mixed states.This work establishes a unifed framework for the geometric analysis of both pure and mixed states,thereby deepening our understanding of the geometric properties of quantum states.

文摘The Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations has released seventeen goals for sustainable development and SDG No.3 is“Good Health and Well-being”,which mainly emphasizes the strategies to be adopted for maintaining a healthy life.The Monkeypox Virus disease was first reported in 1970.Since then,various health initiatives have been taken,including by the WHO.In the present work,we attempt a fractional model of Monkeypox virus disease,which we feel is crucial for a better understanding of this disease.We use the recently introduced ABC fractional derivative to closely examine the Monkeypox virus disease model.The evaluation of this model determines the existence of two equilibrium states.These two stable points exist within the model and include a disease-free equilibrium and endemic equilibrium.The disease-free equilibrium has undergone proof to demonstrate its stability properties.The system remains stable locally and globally whenever the effective reproduction number remains below one.The effective reproduction number becoming greater than unity makes the endemic equilibrium more stable both globally and locally than unity.To comprehensively study the model’s solutions,we employ the Picard-Lindelof approach to investigate their existence and uniqueness.We investigate the Ulam-Hyers and UlamHyers Rassias stability of the fractional order nonlinear framework for the Monkeypox virus disease model.Furthermore,the approximate solutions of the ABC fractional order Monkeypox virus disease model are obtained with the help of a numerical technique combining the Lagrange polynomial interpolation and fundamental theorem of fractional calculus with the ABC fractional derivative.

文摘A hybrid control strategy integrating proportional derivative(PD)and the H-infinity control methodology is proposed for a serial two-link robotic manipulator with the goal of improving the tracking performance of the robot arm.The H-infinity controller has the ability to achieve a high performance and robustness in the presence of disturbances and uncertainties,while the PD controller is effective in stabilizing the manipulator.Simulation results using Matlab and Simulink show that the proposed hybrid controller,which integrates the advantages of both PD and H-infinity controllers,has the lowest rise time for the second link,the lowest settling time for the two links,the lowest peak time for both links,and the fastest decay of the error response.In addition,the hybrid control scheme also has the lowest mean square error value,with a 53.3%improvement over the H-infinity controller and a 91.8%improvement over the PD controller,indicating an improved trajectory tracking performance when compared with pure PD and pure H-infinity controllers,respectively.It was also found that the hybrid controller has the lowest integral absolute error,integral square error,integral time absolute error,and integral time square error for the second link,while the error values for the first link are satisfactory,showing a superior performance of the hybrid controller above the PD and H-infinity controllers,respectively.

文摘The basidiomycetes Stereum hirsutum and Boreostereum vibrans are two fungi of the same genus.In this study,chemical investigation on the co-cultures of the two congeneric fungi led to the isolation of eleven new vibralactone derivatives,hirsutavibrins A-K(1-11).The structures of 1-11 were elucidated by extensive NMR and HRESIMS spectroscopic analysis,and computational methods.Hirsutavibrins A(1)and B(2)showed weak cytotoxicity against the human lung cancer cell line A549.Hirsutavibrin D(4)showed moderate anti-nitric oxide activity in murine monocytic RAW 264.7 macrophages.This work not only expands the members of vibralactone derivatives with variable configurations but also opens a new avenue for fungal co-culturing study between congeneric fungi.
文摘This study introduces a novel mathematical model to describe the progression of cholera by integrating fractional derivatives with both singular and non-singular kernels alongside stochastic differential equations over four distinct time intervals.The model incorporates three key fractional derivatives:the Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative with a non-singular kernel,the Caputo proportional constant fractional derivative with a singular kernel,and the Atangana-Baleanu fractional derivative with a non-singular kernel.We analyze the stability of the core model and apply various numerical methods to approximate the proposed crossover model.To achieve this,the approximation of Caputo proportional constant fractional derivative with Grünwald-Letnikov nonstandard finite difference method is used for the deterministic model with a singular kernel,while the Toufik-Atangana method is employed for models involving a non-singular Mittag-Leffler kernel.Additionally,the integral Caputo-Fabrizio approximation and a two-step Lagrange polynomial are utilized to approximate the model with a non-singular exponential decay kernel.For the stochastic component,the Milstein method is implemented to approximate the stochastic differential equations.The stability and effectiveness of the proposed model and methodologies are validated through numerical simulations and comparisons with real-world cholera data from Yemen.The results confirm the reliability and practical applicability of the model,providing strong theoretical and empirical support for the approach.
