pΞ−p\Xi^- Correlation in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions with Nucleon-Hyperon Interaction from Lattice QCD

On the basis of the $p\Xi^-$ interaction extracted from (2+1)-flavor lattice QCD simulations at the physical point, the momentum correlation of $p$ and $\Xi^-$ produced in relativistic heavy ion collisions is evaluated. $C_{\rm SL}(Q)$ defined by a ratio of the momentum correlations between the systems with different source sizes is shown to be largely enhanced at low momentum due to the strong attraction between $p$ and $\Xi^-$ in the $I=J=0$ channel. Thus, measuring this ratio at RHIC and LHC and its comparison to the theoretical analysis will give a useful constraint on the $p\Xi^-$ interaction.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures; proceedings contribution for Quark Matter 201

Synthesis of 2-Azulenyl-1,1,4,4-tetracyano-3-ferrocenyl-1,3-butadienes by [2+2] Cycloaddition of (Ferrocenylethynyl)azulenes with Tetracyanoethylene

1-, 2-, and 6-(Ferrocenylethynyl)azulene derivatives 1016 have been prepared by palladium-catalyzed alkynylation of ethynylferrocene with the corresponding haloazulenes under SonogashiraHagihara conditions. Compounds 1016 reacted with tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) in a [2+2] cycloadditioncycloreversion reaction to afford the corresponding 2-azulenyl-1,1,4,4,-tetracyano-3-ferrocenyl-1,3-butadiene chromophores 1723 in excellent yields. The redox behavior of the novel azulene chromophores 1723 was examined by using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), which revealed their multistep electrochemical reduction properties. Moreover, a significant color change was observed by visible spectroscopy under electrochemical reduction conditions.ArticleCHEMISTRY-A EUROPEAN JOURNAL. 19(18):5721-5730 (2013)journal articl

Synthesis of push-pull chromophores by the sequential [2+2] cycloaddition of 1-azulenylbutadiynes with tetracyanoethylene and tetrathiafulvalene

Azulene-substituted butadiynes have been prepared by Cu-mediated cross- and homo-coupling reactions. The azulene-substituted butadiynes reacted with tetracyanoethylene in a formal [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction to afford the corresponding 1,1,4,4-tetracyanobutadiene chromophores, in excellent yields. Further [2 + 2] cycloaddition with TTF and TCNE gave novel donor-acceptor chromophores and novel azulene-substituted 6,6-dicyanofulvene derivatives.ArticleORGANIC & BIOMOLECULAR CHEMISTRY. 10(41):8308-8313 (2012)journal articl

エンドセリン-1 によるエールリッヒ腹水癌細胞からのリポタンパク質リパーゼの分泌(発表論文抄録(2010))

Since the role of endothelin (ET)-1 in lipoprotein metabolism in tumor cells is unclear, we investigated the effect of ET-1 on the secretion of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) from mouse Ehrlich ascites tumor cells. ET-1 increased the secretion of LPL from these cells in a time-dependent manner. Two antagonists of ET-receptor type A (ET-A), namely, BQ123 and FR139317, inhibited the stimulatory effect of ET-1 on the secretion of LPL. However, an antagonist of ET-receptor type B (ET-B), BQ788, did not have any effect. Neomycin, a phospholipase C (PLC) inhibitor, and H-7, a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, also suppressed the ET-1-stimulated secretion of LPL. ET-1 also increased PKC activity in tumor cells in a dose-dependent manner. These results imply that ET-1 stimulates secretion of LPL from tumor cells by stimulating the PLC-PKC signaling pathway through the ET-A receptor rather than the ET-B receptor.Since the role of endothelin (ET)-1 in lipoprotein metabolism in tumor cells is unclear, we investigated the effect of ET-1 on the secretion of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) from mouse Ehrlich ascites tumor cells.

Femtoscopic study of coupled-channel baryon-baryon interactions with S=−2S=-2

Particles and Nuclei International Conference - PANIC2021, 5 - 10 September, 2021, OnlineThe correlation functions of pΞ− and ΛΛ pairs from pp and pA collisions are studied in the coupled-channel framework using the NΞ-ΛΛ coupled-channel baryon-baryon potentials obtained in the lattice QCD calculation at almost physical quark masses. The pΞ− correlation function is calculated to be significantly enhanced from the pure Coulomb case, while the ΛΛ correlation function is slightly enhanced from that of the pure fermion quantum statistics. These features reflect the large and small scattering lengths in the pΞ− and ΛΛ channels in magnitude, and agree with the observed data by the ALICE collaboration. The agreement confirms the S = −2 baryon-baryon potentials from lattice QCD

Synthesis of donor-acceptor chromophores by the [2+2] cycloaddition of arylethynyl-2H-cyclohepta[b]furan-2-ones with 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane

Arylethynyl-2H-cyclohepta[b]furan-2-ones reacted with 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) in a formal [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction, followed by ring opening of the initially formed cyclobutene derivatives, to afford the corresponding dicyanoquinodimethane (DCNQ) chromophores in excellent yields. The intramolecular charge-transfer (ICT) interactions between the 2H-cyclohepta[b]furan-2-one ring and DCNQ acceptor moiety were investigated by UV/Vis spectroscopy and theoretical calculations. The redox behavior of the novel DCNQ derivatives was examined by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), which revealed their multistep electrochemical reduction properties depended on the number of DCNQ units in the molecule. Moreover, a significant color change was observed by visible spectroscopy under electrochemical reduction conditions.ArticleORGANIC & BIOMOLECULAR CHEMISTRY. 10(12):2431-2438 (2012)journal articl
