High‐Efficiency Deep‐Blue Light‐Emitting Diodes Based on Phenylquinoline/Carbazole‐Based Compounds

Abstract: Highly efficient deep-blue fluorescent materials based on phenylquinoline–carbazole derivatives (PhQ-CVz, MeO-PhQ-CVz, and CN-PhQ-CVz) are synthesized for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). The materials form high-quality amorphous thin films by thermal evaporation and the energy levels can be easily adjusted by the introduction of different electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups on carbazoylphenylquinoline. Non-doped deep-blue OLEDs that use PhQ-CVz as the emitter show bright emission (Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates, x = 0.156, y = 0.093) with an external quantum efficiency of 2.45%. Furthermore, the material works as an excellent host material for 4,4′-bis(9-ethyl-3-carbazovinylene)-1,1′-biphenyl dopant to get high-performance OLEDs with excellent deep-blue CIE coordinates (x = 0.155, y = 0.157), high power efficiency (5.98 lm W−1), and high external quantum efficiency (5.22%).

Adaptive sliding mode control of container cranes

Abstract: An adaptive sliding mode control scheme for container cranes is investigated in this study. A sliding surface is designed in such a way that the sway motion of the payload is incorporated into the trolley dynamics. Included in the proposed control law is a varying control gain, obtained by an adaptation law, which transitions the system into the sliding mode. The control law guarantees the asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system. To demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm, experimental results are provided.

Gravitational waves from known pulsars: Results from the initial detector era

Abstract: We present the results of searches for gravitational waves from a large selection of pulsars using data from the most recent science runs (S6, VSR2 and VSR4) of the initial generation of interferometric gravitational wave detectors LIGO (Laser Interferometric Gravitational-wave Observatory) and Virgo. We do not see evidence for gravitational wave emission from any of the targeted sources but produce upper limits on the emission amplitude. We highlight the results from seven young pulsars with large spin-down luminosities. We reach within a factor of five of the canonical spin-down limit for all seven of these, whilst for the Crab and Vela pulsars we further surpass their spin-down limits. We present new or updated limits for 172 other pulsars (including both young and millisecond pulsars). Now that the detectors are undergoing major upgrades, and, for completeness, we bring together all of the most up-to-date results from all pulsars searched for during the operations of the first-generation LIGO, Virgo and GEO600 detectors. This gives a total of 195 pulsars including the most recent results described in this paper.

Cytotoxic bisindole alkaloids from a marine sponge Spongosorites sp

Abstract: Three new bisindole alkaloids of the hamacanthin class (1−3) and one new bisindole alkaloid of the topsentin class (6) were isolated along with known bisindole alkaloids (4, 5, 7−11) from the MeOH extract of a marine sponge Spongosorites sp. by bioactivity-guided fractionation. The planar structures were established on the basis of NMR, MS, and IR spectroscopic analyses. Configurations of compounds 1−4 were derived from 1H NMR data and optical rotation. Compounds 1, 4, 5, and 11 showed moderate to significant cytotoxicity against five human tumor cell lines, and compounds 1−5 showed weak antibacterial activity against clinically isolated methicillin-resistant strains.
