A new ecdysteroid and other constituents from two Dioscorea species

2008

Phytochemical investigation of the rhizome of Dioscorea dumetorum has led to the isolation by several chromatographic steps on normal and reversed phase silica gel of a new ecdysteroid, (20R)-5β,11α,20-trihydroxyecdysone (1), and two known ecdysteroids, ajugasterone C (2) and herkesterone (3). Their structures were determined by spectroscopic methods including 1D- and 2D-NMR (COSY, TOCSY, HSQC and HMBC). This is the first report on the occurrence of phytoecdysteroids in the Dioscoreaceae family. These compounds were devoid of antifungal activity against three Candida species (Candida albicans, Candida glabrata and Candida tropicalis, MIC > 200 μg/ml).

Synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of organotin derivatives ofN-benzoylglycylglycine

1991

Di- and tri-organotin derivatives of N-benzoylglycylglycine (HBzGlyGly) were synthesized and characterized by infrared, 1H, 13C NMR and 119Sn Mossbauer spectroscopy. Diorganotin derivatives appear to be dimer distannoxanes ([R2SnBzGlyGly]2O)2 (R = CH3, n-C4H9, n-C8H17) with a ladder-type structure where tin atoms are five-coordinated and N-benzoylglycylglycine alternatively acts as a unidentate or bridging bidentate ligand through the carboxylate group. For triorganotin derivatives R3SnBzGlyGly (R= CH3, n-C4Hg) we propose a polymeric structure where N-benzoylglycylglycine bridges planar SnC3 units through the carboxylate group.

The β-relaxation amplitudes for a dipolar hard sphere glass

1998

Abstract The β-relaxation amplitudes h m l , l ′ ( q ) for a dipolar hard sphere model are calculated in the diagonalization approximation up to l =1. The relevance to experimental difficulties to detect the characteristic β-relaxation minimum in dielectric loss measurements is discussed. Additionally, the microscopic nature of the β-relaxation of the rotational components is investigated by discussing the amplitudes in real space at different temperatures and densities.

Experimental and theoretical NMR and IR studies of the side-chain orientation effects on the backbone conformation of dehydrophenylalanine residue

2011

Conformation of N-acetyl-(E)-dehydrophenylalanine N', N'-dimethylamide (Ac-(E)-ΔPhe-NMe(2)) in solution, a member of (E)-α, β-dehydroamino acids, was studied by NMR and infrared spectroscopy and the results were compared with those obtained for (Z) isomer. To support the spectroscopic interpretation, the Φ, Ψ potential energy surfaces were calculated at the MP2/6-31 + G(d,p) level of theory in chloroform solution modeled by the self-consistent reaction field-polarizable continuum model method. All minima were fully optimized by the MP2 method and their relative stabilities were analyzed in terms of π-conjugation, internal H-bonds and dipole interactions between carbonyl groups. The obtained…

Spectral and electrooptical absorption and emission studies on internally hydrogen bonded benzoxazole `double' derivatives: 2,5-bis(benzoxazolyl)hydr…

1999

Abstract Ground and excited state dipole moments and polarizabilities of 2,5-bis(benzoxazolyl)hydroquinone (BBHQ) and 3,6-bis(benzoxazolyl)pyrocatechol (BBPC) are determined by means of electrooptical absorption and emission measurements. BBHQ is found to exhibit a small, while BBPC a large increase of the static polarizability in the Franck–Condon (FC) excited singlet state. The change of the dipole moments upon excitation to the FC state is zero within experimental error. However, both molecules show dipole moments in the fluorescent states of their phototautomers, of about 5 D, the major component being parallel to the long molecular axis. The experimental and theoretical results strongl…

Microscopic theory for the light-induced anomalous Hall effect in graphene

2019

We employ a quantum Liouville equation with relaxation to model the recently observed anomalous Hall effect in graphene irradiated by an ultrafast pulse of circularly polarized light. In the weak-field regime, we demonstrate that the Hall effect originates from an asymmetric population of photocarriers in the Dirac bands. By contrast, in the strong-field regime, the system is driven into a non-equilibrium steady state that is well-described by topologically non-trivial Floquet-Bloch bands. Here, the anomalous Hall current originates from the combination of a population imbalance in these dressed bands together with a smaller anomalous velocity contribution arising from their Berry curvature…

Fractal Dimension Logarithmic Differences Method for Low Voltage Series Arc Fault Detection

2021

Series arc faults introduce singularities in the current signal and changes over time. Fractal dimension can be used to characterize the dynamic behaviour of the current signal by providing a degree of signal chaos. This measure of irregularity exhibits changes in signal behaviour that can suitably be used as a basis for series arc fault detection. In this paper, an efficient low voltage series arc fault detection method based on the logarithmic differences of the estimate of the fractal dimension of the current signal using the multiresolution length-based method is presented. The discrete wavelet transform and the hard thresholding denoising with the universal threshold are also used. Exp…

Regularization of optical flow with M-band wavelet transform

2003

The optical flow is an important tool for problems arising in the analysis of image sequences. Flow fields generated by various existing solving techniques are often noisy and partially incorrect, especially near occlusions or motion boundaries. Therefore, the additional information on the scene gained from a sequence of images is usually worse. In this paper, discrete wavelet transform has been adopted in order to enhance the reliability of optical flow estimation. A generalization of the well-known dyadic orthonormal wavelets to the case of the dilation scale factor M > 2 with N vanishing moments has been used, and it has proved to be a useful regularizing tool. The advantages in the comp…
