摘要：The synthesis of inorganic materials with special morphologies with the assistance of biological molecules is a potential development in the field of controllable growth and assembly of nanomaterials. In this paper, BaF2 nanocrystals in patterns of well-defined linear and erythrocyte-shaped structure were synthesized with the assistance of Escherichia coil DNA. Morphology and the arrangement of BaF2 particles on DNA were controllable by altering the reaction condition. Square nanoparticles arranged in linear chains were gained with the assistance of normal DNA; while, erythrocyte-shaped BaF2 nanospheres were synthesized with the assistance of denatured DNA. Besides, the influences of solvent, reaction temperature, concentration of reactants and the heating time on the morphology of the BaF2 particles were studied.

摘要：An XOR/XNOR optical logic circuit with two cascaded microring resonators and two U-bend waveguides is proposed. The microring resonators are made of electro-optical polymer and modulated through linear electro-optical effect. Two electrical signals are applied to the two microrings, and simultaneous XOR and XNOR operations are demonstrated in two different operating modes. We also use scattering matrix method to analyze the analog output spectra, and find that different inputs like ‘00' and ‘11' can lead to different extinction ratios in output spectra at certain wavelengths, even though their digital outputs are the same.

摘要：The anchoring property of the substrate surface of liquid crystal cells plays an important role in display and nondisplay fields. This property directly affects the deformation of liquid crystal molecules to change the phase difference through liquid crystal cells. In this paper, a test method based on the alternating-current bridge is proposed to determine the capacitance of liquid crystal cells and thus measure the anchoring energy of the substrate surface. The anchoring energy can be obtained by comparing the capacitance-voltage curves of twisted nematic liquid crystal cells with different anchoring properties in experimental and theoretical results simulated on the basis of Frank elastic theory. Compared with the other methods to determine the anchoring energy, our proposed method requires a simple treatment of liquid crystal cells and allows easy and high-accuracy measurements, thereby expanding the test ideas on the performance parameters of liquid crystal devices.

摘要：As epoxy functional group has high anticancer activity, α, β-epoxyketones were designed and synthesized as new anticancer agents, and their structures were confirmed by UV, 1H NMR, IR, MS technigeces and elemental analysis. Their in vitro anticancer activities were evaluated by MTF method and the results showed that the compound 4c exhibited good activity with IC50 of 17.8, 22.0 and 24.1 μg/mL against A-549, Hela and HepG2 cells, respectively. The dose of LD50 of the mice by intragastric administration was 1864.4 mg/kg. Therefore, the α, β-epoxyketones could potentially provide as new anticancer agents.
