Effect of disorder on Majorana localization in topological superconductors: a quasiclassical approach
2020
Two-dimensional (2D) topological superconductors (TS) host chiral Majorana modes (MMs) localized at the boundaries. In this work, we study the effect of disorder on the localization length of MMs in two-dimensional spin-orbit (SO) coupled superconductors within quasiclassical approximation. We find nonmonotonic behavior of the Majorana localization length as a function of disorder strength. At weak disorder, the Majorana localization length decreases with an increasing disorder strength. Decreasing the disorder scattering time below a crossover value ${\ensuremath{\tau}}_{c}$, the Majorana localization length starts to increase. The crossover scattering time depends on the relative magnitud…

Global equatorial variability of 850 and 200 hPa zonal winds from rawinsondes between 1963 and 1989
1995
The longitude-height-time variability of 3-month averaged zonal wind anomalies at 850 and 200 hPa over the equatorial area (5{degrees}N-5{degrees}S) is analyzed using a three-dimensional dataset constructed from rawinsonde data (1963-1989). The first mode, closely related to the Southern Oscillation Index, suggests a strong vertical coupling associated with a horizontal out-of-phase pattern between the central/western Pacific and the remainder of the equatorial belt. The vertical coupling appears to be phase-locked to the annual cycle with strongest intensities found over South America and near the maritime continent early in the calendar year and over the Pacific basin and Africa during th…
Electronic noses : specify or disappear
2000
Abstract When the quality control is achieved by using GC or GC/MS, the apparatus must comply with the applicable norms, but what about “electronic noses”? End users demand for formal specifications for selectivity, sensitivity, repeatability and sample throughput. The behavioural modelling of electronic olfactometers may provide specifications for these required parameters. This will allow both the measure itself, and evaluate the influence of the experimental errors on the sample classification. Users may expect to find a methodology allowing the performances of systems to be checked before any final decision and during routine use. We have demonstrated that the system sensitivity and log…
Direct electrochemical generation of organic carbonates by dehydrogenative coupling.
2018
Organic carbonates are an important source for polycarbonate synthesis. However, their synthesis generally requires phosgene, sophisticated catalysts, harsh reaction conditions, or other highly reactive chemicals. We present the first direct electrochemical generation of mesityl methyl carbonate by C–H activation. Although this reaction pathway is still challenging concerning scope and efficiency, it outlines a new strategy for carbonate generation.
Performances of the Fault Decoupling Device when unbalanced and multiple faults occur on distribution systems.
2005
Nowadays industrial processes are largely based on electronic devices such as programmable logic controllers and adjustable speed drives. Consequently, industrial equipments became less tolerant towards power supply disturbances. Voltage dips due to faults are surely among the worst disturbances for industrial equipments. A paper machine can be affected by disturbances of only 10% voltage drop lasting for 100 ms. A voltage dip of 75% (of the nominal voltage) with a duration shorter than 100 ms results in material loss in the range of thousands of US Dollars for semiconductors industry [1].
Nickel‐Mediated Photoreductive Cross Coupling of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives for Ketone Synthesis**
2021
A simple photochemical, nickel-catalyzed synthesis of ketones starting from carboxylic acids is presented. Hantzsch-ester (HE) functions as a cheap, green and strong photoreductant upon visible-light excitation to facilitate radical generation and also engages in the Ni-catalytic cycle to restore the reactive species. With this dual role, HE allows for the coupling of a large variety of radicals (1°,2°, benzylic, α-oxy & α-amino) with aroyl and alkanoyl moieties, a new feature in the synthesis of ketones through dual nickel photoredox catalysis. With both precursors deriving from abundant carboxylic acids, this protocol is a welcome addition to the organic chemistry toolbox. The reactio…
Evidence for essential primary amino groups in a bacterial coupling factor F1ATPase.
1980
Abstract We have found that the binding of pyridoxal-5′-phosphate to 6 primary amino groups leads to the inactivation of the enzyme. A preferential reaction of pyridoxal-5′-phosphate with the α-subunits of this enzyme can be demonstrated. The reactivity of the amino groups is influenced by various effectors. In the presence of ATP the inhibition of the ATPase activity is noncompetitive.
Synthesis of Highly Substituted Unsymmetrical 1,2-Diamines, 1,2-Diimines, Imidazolium Salts and Imidazolylidenes by Aldimine Cross-Coupling
2007
α-Aminonitriles derived from aromatic aldehydes and primary amines can be deprotonated quantitatively without the use of protecting groups. The 1,2-addition of the resulting stabilized α-aminocarbanions to imines yields α-aminoimines and the tautomeric enediamines. These unstable compounds can directly be oxidized to 1,2-diimines or reduced to 1,2-diamines in a one-pot reaction. 1,2-Diamines can be obtained in high diastereoselectivity by reduction of the 1,2-diimines. In this case, the relative configuration of the products can be chosen depending on the reduction conditions. Cyclization of the unsymmetrical diimines with halomethyl ethers or esters leads to 1,3,4,5-tetrasubstituted imidaz…
