Asymmetric Synthesis Of 8-O-4'-Neolignan Perseal B, Yamu Xia, Wei Wang, Yinglan Guo, Junfeng Li

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Full details of an enantioselective total synthesis of 8-O-4'-neolignan perseal B are presented for the first time. The synthesis was achieved in 8 steps from vanillin and involved the asymmetric dihydroxylation reaction using AD-mix-\alpha to give the key intermedium (1S,2S)-1-(4-(benzyloxy)-3-methoxyphenyl)propane-1,2,3- triol, and the Mitsunobu reaction between phenylpropanoid and vanillin formed perseal B. The synthetic method of perseal B exhibits a new route for 8-O-4'-neolignan.

Turkish Journal of Physics

We present a p-i-n structured solar cell with stacked layers of In_xGa_{1-x}N Quantum Dots (QDs) with different indium composition. The photocurrent and surface recombination processes are investigated in the i-region. We have shown that the QDs in the i-region can play the role of both generation or recombination centers. The photocurrent has been calculated by self-consistent method to solve continuity equation of charge carriers in the layers of the i-region. By changing the Indium composition in In_xGa_{1-x}N QDs, the band gap of QDs varies and therefore provides a considerable overlapping with solar spectrum. Proposed SC with different-sized QDs and different …

Linear-Like Discrete-Time Fuzzy Control In The Regulation Of Irrigation Canals, Ömer Faruk Durdu Jan 2010

Linear-Like Discrete-Time Fuzzy Control In The Regulation Of Irrigation Canals, Ömer Faruk Durdu

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

A linear-like discrete-time fuzzy controller was designed to control and stabilize a single-pool irrigation canal. Saint Venant equations for open-channel flow were linearized using the Taylor series and a finite-difference approximation of the original nonlinear partial differential equations. Using the linear optimal control theory, a traditional linear quadratic regulator (LQR) was first developed for an irrigation canal with a single-pool, and the results were observed. Then a linear-like global system representation of a discrete-time fuzzy system was proposed by viewing a discrete-time fuzzy system in a global concept and unifying the individual matrices into synthetic matrices. This linear-like representation aided …
