Measurement of the WZ Production Cross Section in Proton-Proton Collisions at CME of 7 TeV with the ATLAS Detector

This document presents a measurement of WZ production in 1.02 fb-1 of pp collision data at CME of 7 TeV collected by the ATLAS experiment at LHC in 2011. The production cross-section is measured to be consistent with the Standard Model (SM) prediction. Limits on anomalous triple gauge boson couplings have been derived.Comment: Proceeding for DPF 2011 meetin

The studies and development of synthetic methods for the synthesis of bioactive natural occurring products

Organic synthesis is one of the most dynamic and fascinating fields of science. It has made massive contribution to the well-being of mankind for over a century. Modern synthetic chemistry has been highly developed, which allow us to prepare the complex molecules with various unique properties, but, there are many new principles, strategies and methods of synthesis waiting to be discovered. The accomplishments discussed in this thesis including the following: (1) Methodology for the synthesis of angularly fused aromatic ring systems and the convergent synthesis of 3-deoxyrabelomycin. (2) The efficient and stereoselective formal total synthesis of podophyllotoxin by tandem photoenolization/Intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction. (3) Photochemical induced radical ring opening and closing to form seven membered ring compounds. (4) Discovery of photochemical 1,9-hydrogen atom abstraction and its use in the synthesis of natural products

Computational Intelligence Inspired Data Delivery for Vehicle-to-Roadside Communications

We propose a vehicle-to-roadside communication protocol based on distributed clustering where a coalitional game approach is used to stimulate the vehicles to join a cluster, and a fuzzy logic algorithm is employed to generate stable clusters by considering multiple metrics of vehicle velocity, moving pattern, and signal qualities between vehicles. A reinforcement learning algorithm with game theory based reward allocation is employed to guide each vehicle to select the route that can maximize the whole network performance. The protocol is integrated with a multi-hop data delivery virtualization scheme that works on the top of the transport layer and provides high performance for multi-hop end-to-end data transmissions. We conduct realistic computer simulations to show the performance advantage of the protocol over other approaches

A study on the Translation of Taglines of the Real Housewives of Atlanta under the Perspective of Ecological Translatology

With the acceleration of globalization, film and television subtitle translation, as a new form of translation, is developing rapidly. After translating the American reality show The Real Housewives of Atlanta, this paper focuses on the analysis of the tagline translation at the beginning of each episode to find the most suitable translation. Guided by the theory of ecological translation, this paper analyzes the case of original subtitle translation from the perspective of “three-dimensional transformation” of ecological translation to provide feasible translation strategies for future subtitle translation from the perspective of ecological translatology. As the tagline of each guest at the beginning of the show, it is very distinctive. How to translate it reasonably is a problem worth thinking about. Based on the ecological translation theory, the translator analyzes and summarizes the Declaration from three aspects: linguistic dimension, cultural dimension and communicative dimension

1,5- and 1,9-Hydrogen atom abstractions. Photochemical strategies for radical cyclizations

0.1 mM in dichloromethane. *The source phase, Aq I, contained a 1:l:l ratio of AMP, CMP, and GMP at a 10 mM concentration in each. The initial pH was adjusted by the careful addition of NaOH(aq). ‘Transport experiments were performed in a manner similar to those reported in refs 5 and 7. Values reported are the average of three independent measurements; estimated error \u3c5%. “Not determined. eControl experiment using 3,8,12,13,17,22-hexaethyl-2,7,18,23-tetramethylsapphyrin (0.1 mM) as the putative carrier

Hydrogen atom abstraction reactions in organic synthesis. A formal total synthesis of racemic podophyllotoxin

The key step in a synthesis of 1 was a tandem photoenolization/Diels-Alder reaction to produce 11. Hydrolysis of the acetal and ester followed by oxidation afforded 15, an advanced intermediate in the Meyers synthesis of 1
