全光纤对接损耗调Q激光器

激光器调Q技术是产生高峰值功率、窄脉冲的最有效方法之一。提出并初步验证了全光纤对接损耗调Q方法,分析了调Q原理以及影响因素,实现调Q脉冲的输出。激光腔内加入两段光纤,两段光纤间相互靠近的一端紧密对接,其中一段粘结在压电陶瓷(PZT)上。通过外部电压变化驱动压电陶瓷,使两光纤端面间出现轴向间隙、径向错位或旋转夹角,改变两段光纤之间的耦合连接损耗,进而调节激光腔的损耗,输出调Q脉冲。采用径向错位方式,可以有效改变光纤之间的耦合连接损耗,重复频率可达10 kHz。该方法实现简单,成本低廉,通过外部条件控制,可进一步提高输出脉冲的稳定性。

Ultra-High Capacity and Cyclability of β-phase Ca0.14V2O5 as a Promising Cathode in Calcium-Ion Batteries

Crystalline water-free β-phase Ca_0.14V₂O₅ is reported for the first time as a viable cathode material for calcium-ion batteries (CIBs). In contrast to layered α-V₂O₅ and δ-Ca_xV₂O₅·nH₂O, which have limited capacity, the β-phase delivers a reversible capacity of ≈247 mAh g⁻¹, which corresponds to the insertion/extraction of Ca²⁺ between Ca_0.14V₂O₅ and Ca_1.0V₂O₅. The process of Ca²⁺ insertion process and the accompanying structural relaxation are theoretically and experimentally verified. The initial insertion of Ca²⁺ into Ca_0.14V₂O₅ causes a slight shift of oxygen atoms surrounding hepta-coordination sites, creating penta-coordinated sites that are then partially filled up to Ca_0.33V₂O₅. Further insertion occurs through the stepwise occupation of up to 50% of neighboring hexa- and tetra-coordination sites to form Ca_0.67V₂O₅ and Ca_1.0V₂O₅, respectively. The rearrangement of oxygen atoms in Ca_0.14V₂O₅ also minimizes dimensional changes, leading to high cyclic stability during repeated charge/discharge cycles. The remarkable electrochemical performance of full cells containing a Ca_0.14V₂O₅ cathode and a K metal anode in Ca²⁺/K⁺ hybrid electrolytes, is also demonstrated, thanks to the inertness of K⁺ insertion into Ca_0.14V₂O₅ and the absence of calcium plating/stripping. The cyclic stability and high capacity of Ca_0.14V₂O₅ is not compromised in hybrid electrolytes, making it a viable CIB cathode.

Recent Advances in Transition Metal‐Catalyzed Hydrogenation of Nitriles

Amines are important building blocks possessing various applications in agrochemicals, the fine chemical industry, pharmaceuticals, materials science and biotechnology. The catalytic hydrogenation of nitriles is an important reaction for the one‐step synthesis of diverse amines. However, significant amounts of side product formation during the course of the reaction is a major issue. In recent years, an enormous amount of work has been reported using both homogeneous and heterogeneous transition metal complex catalysts for the selective reduction of nitriles. Transition metal catalysts are the most crucial factor that controls the selectivity in this reaction. Therefore, transition metal catalysts are the central point of this review. We have also briefly discussed the effect of reaction parameters, selectivity to different substrate structures and reaction mechanisms. This review provides an overview of recent developments in transition metal‐catalyzed nitrile reduction along with examples which highlight its vast potential in organic transformations.

     

A hardware-based algorithm for virtual machine provisioning in a private cloud

Cloud computing is becoming a key factor in the market day by day. Therefore, many companies are investing or going to invest in this sector for development of large data centers. These data centers not only consume more energy but also produce greenhouse gases. Because of large amount of power consumption, data center providers go for different types of power generator to increase the profit margin which indirectly affects the environment. Several studies are carried out to reduce the power consumption of a data center. One of the techniques to reduce power consumption is virtualization. After several studies, it is stated that hardware plays a very important role. As the load increases, the power consumption of the CPU is also increased. Therefore, by extending the study of virtualization to reduce the power consumption, a hardware-based algorithm for virtual machine provisioning in a private cloud can significantly improve the performance by considering hardware as one of the important factors.     

Molecularly Targeted Agents as Radiosensitizers in Cancer Therapy—Focus on Prostate Cancer

As our understanding of the molecular pathways driving tumorigenesis improves and more druggable targets are identified, we have witnessed a concomitant increase in the development and production of novel molecularly targeted agents. Radiotherapy is commonly used in the treatment of various malignancies with a prominent role in the care of prostate cancer patients, and efforts to improve the therapeutic ratio of radiation by technologic and pharmacologic means have led to important advances in cancer care. One promising approach is to combine molecularly targeted systemic agents with radiotherapy to improve tumor response rates and likelihood of durable control. This review first explores the limitations of preclinical studies as well as barriers to successful implementation of clinical trials with radiosensitizers. Special considerations related to and recommendations for the design of preclinical studies and clinical trials involving molecularly targeted agents combined with radiotherapy are provided. We then apply these concepts by reviewing a representative set of targeted therapies that show promise as radiosensitizers in the treatment of prostate cancer.
