Nonalternant Extension of Multiple Resonance Emitter via Palladium-Catalyzed [5+2]-Annulation by Weiwen Zhuang, Waiming Chong, Junzhi Liu

“…Moreover, the nonalternant topology facilitated the delocalization of frontier molecular orbitals (FMO) within the twisted geometry, thus achieving red-shifted narrow emission. Our work provides a new synthetic strategy towards nonalternant extension of MR-emitters and gives insights into the electronic effects of multiple azepination on FMO distribution.…”

Radiolytic Synthesis of Colloidal Silver Nanoparticles for Antibacterial Wound Dressings by Pimpon Uttayarat, Jarurattana Eamsiri, Theeranan Tangthong, Phiriyatorn Suwanmala

“…Radiolytic synthesis provides a convenient and environmentally-friendly approach to prepare metallic nanoparticles in large scale with narrow size distribution. In this report, colloidal silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized by gamma radiation using poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) or silk fibroin (SF) as stabilizers and were evaluated for their antibacterial properties. …”

The Design and Simulation of a Quadruped Multi-mode Mobile Robot by Xinyue Yu, Chunyan Zhang, An Ping, Bing Ding, Jie Yang

“…When the robot is in walking mode， it can walk on ordinary flat road； when in obstacle crossing mode， you can climb over obstacles by raising the height of your legs； when in the semi folding mode， the wheelbase can be shortened through the folding of the platform for narrow road conditions. The freedom of the platform and leg of the mechanism is analyzed using the screw theory； the forward kinematic equation of the quadruped robot is solved by D-H parameter method； three modes of the robot are simulated by Adams simulation software. …”

Design and Performance Evaluation of a Very Low Flow Coefficient Centrifugal Compressor by Yongsheng Wang, Feng Lin, Chaoqun Nie, Abraham Engeda

“…Due to the lower volume flow rate, the flow channels in the impeller and diffuser are so narrow that friction loss becomes the main factor, which leads to lower efficiency than that of other stages in the same compressors. …”
