5-(4-Bromoanilinomethylene)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione
In the title compound, C13H12BrNO4, the dihedral angles between the aminomethylene group and the dioxane ring and between the benzyl ring and the aminomethylene unit are 7.96 (4) and 12.15 (4)°, respectively. The dioxane ring shows a half-boat conformation, in which the C atom between the dioxane ring O atoms is 0.460 (8) Å out of the plane through the remaining ring atoms. An intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond may stabilize the planar conformation of the molecule. An intermolecular C—H⋯O interaction is also present
1-(4-Hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)ethanone
In the title molecule, C10H12O4, the non-H atoms are essentially coplanar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.033 Å). In the crystal, molecules are linked into chains along [001] by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds
Interfacial thermal conductance in graphene/black phosphorus heterogeneous structures
Graphene, as a passivation layer, can be used to protect the black phosphorus
from the chemical reaction with surrounding oxygen and water. However, black
phosphorus and graphene heterostructures have low efficiency of heat
dissipation due to its intrinsic high thermal resistance at the interfaces. The
accumulated energy from Joule heat has to be removed efficiently to avoid the
malfunction of the devices. Therefore, it is of significance to investigate the
interfacial thermal dissipation properties and manipulate the properties by
interfacial engineering on demand. In this work, the interfacial thermal
conductance between few-layer black phosphorus and graphene is studied
extensively using molecular dynamics simulations. Two critical parameters, the
critical power Pcr to maintain thermal stability and the maximum heat power
density Pmax with which the system can be loaded, are identified. Our results
show that interfacial thermal conductance can be effectively tuned in a wide
range with external strains and interracial defects. The compressive strain can
enhance the interfacial thermal conductance by one order of magnitude, while
interface defects give a two-fold increase. These findings could provide
guidelines in heat dissipation and interfacial engineering for thermal
conductance manipulation of black phosphorus-graphene heterostructure-based
devices.Comment: 33 pages, 22 figure
Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Detection of Synchronous Multiple Primary Cancers in Esophagus and Stomach: Single Center Experience from China
The present study was undertaken to clarify the prevalence and clinicopathological features of synchronous multiple primary cancers (SMPCs) under upper gastrointestinal endoscopic examination. We enrolled 45,032 consecutive patients who underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopic examination for digestive disease from January 2006 to December 2007 in our hospital and analyzed the clinicopathological features of SMPCs in esophagus and stomach. SMPCs are defined as two or over two different cancerous lesions developing in the same or other organs within 6 months. SMPCs were identified in 46 patients (0.1%). The gender ratio was 5.6 : 1 (male/female) and the mean age was 59.4 years. Synchronous esophageal and gastric cancers were the most frequent, being seen in 32 patients (0.07%). The most common histological types of SMPCs were squamous cell carcinoma in esophagus and adenocarcinoma in stomach, respectively. There were 27 (59%) SMPCs patients who had the history of simultaneous exposure to tobacco smoking and alcohol drinking. Additionally, 32 (78%) esophageal squamous cell cancers were associated with tobacco use. And 23 adenocarcinomas of the stomach were associated with Helicobacter pylori infection
