Abstract
The design and synthesis of novel energetic compounds with integrated properties of high density, high energy, good thermal stability and sensitivities is particularly challenging due to the ...inherent contradiction between energy and safety for energetic compounds. In this study, a novel structure of 4-amino-7,8-dinitropyrazolo-5,1-
d
1,2,3,5-tetrazine 2-oxide (BITE-101) is designed and synthesized in three steps. With the help of the complementary advantages of different explosophoric groups and diverse weak interactions, BITE-101 is superior to the benchmark explosive HMX in all respects, including higher density of 1.957 g·cm
−3
, highest decomposition temperature of 295 °C (onset) among CHON-based high explosives to date and superior detonation velocity and pressure (
D
: 9314 m·s

,
P
: 39.3 GPa), impact and friction sensitivities (
IS
: 18 J,
FS
: 128 N), thereby showing great potential for practical application as replacement for HMX, the most powerful military explosive in current use.
Energetic salts based on the 6-nitropyrazolo3,4-

1,2,3triazol-3(4

′-ethylene substituted 4-chloro-3,5-dinitro ...pyrazole and hydrazine hydrate. All energetic salts were well characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), elemental analyses, and IR and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. Energetic properties, including density, detonation velocity and detonation pressure, were evaluated for these nitrogen-rich fused heterocycles as a family of new energetic materials.
The trinitromethyl moiety is a useful group for the design and development of novel energetic compounds with high nitrogen and oxygen content. In this work, by using an improved nitration method, the ...dinitromethyl precursor was successfully nitrated to the trinitromethyl product (2), and its structure was thoroughly characterized by FTIR, NMR, elemental analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 2 has a high density (1.897 g cm−3), high heat of formation (984.8 kJ mmol−1), and a high detonation performance (D: 9351 m s−1, P: 37.46 GPa) that may find useful applications in the field of high energy density materials.
Three new compounds based on the combination of furoxan (1,2,5-oxadiazole
-oxide) and oxa-5,5bicyclic ring were synthesized. Among them, the nitro compound showed satisfactory detonation properties (
..., 8565 m s
;
, 31.9 GPa), which is comparable to the performance of RDX (a classic high-energy secondary explosive). Additionally, the introduction of the
-oxide moiety and oxidation of the amino group more effectively improved the oxygen balance and density (
, 1.81 g cm
; OB%, +2.8%) of the compounds compared to furazan analogues. Combined with good density and oxygen balance as well as moderate sensitivity, this type of furoxan and oxa-5,5bicyclic structure will open up a platform for the synthesis and design of new high-energy materials.
Based on the backbone of the furazan‐tetrazole structure, routes were developed to improve the properties of energetic materials. Two types of high‐density energetic salts were designed, prepared, ...and fully characterized. Single‐crystal X‐ray analyses support the structural characteristics for two amino salts. A majority of the salts exhibited good detonation properties, high thermal stabilities, and relatively low impact and friction sensitivities. Hydroxylammonium and hydrazinium salts, 1–3 and 1–4, which have relatively high densities (1.84 and 1.74 g cm−3,, respectively), acceptable impact and friction sensitivities (14 J, 160 N and 28 J, 360 N), and good detonation pressures (38.3 and 32.2 GPa) and velocities (9323 and 9094 m s−1), have performance properties superior to 1,3,5‐trinitro‐1,3,5‐triazinane (RDX) and triaminotrinitrobenzene (TATB).
Detonation properties: Two types of high‐density energetic salts based on the backbone of the furazan‐tetrazole structure were synthesized, and competitive detonation properties were achieved compared to reported analogue salts of 4‐amino‐3‐(5‐tetrazolate)furazan (see figure).
The main findings are the hydroxyl radical scavenging and the superoxide anion diminishing by mixing the carbon dioxide (CO
) nanobubbles after hydrogen nanobubble blowing in water and alcohol ...aqueous solution. The nanobubbles produce the hydroxyl radical by ultrasonic waves, changing the pH and catalyst and so on, while the nanobubble is very reactive to scavenge free radicals. In this research especially hydrogen (4% H
in argon) and CO
nanobubbles have been blown into hydrogen peroxide (H
O
) added pure water, ethanol, and ethylene glycol aqueous solution through a porous ceramic sparger from the gas cylinder. The aqueous solutions with H
O
are irradiated by ultraviolet (UV) light and the produced hydroxyl radical amount is measured with spin trapping reagent and electron spin resonance (ESR). The CO
nanobubble blowing extremely has reduced the hydroxyl radical in water, ethanol, and ethylene glycol aqueous solution. On the other hand, when H
nanobubbles are brown after CO
nanobubble blowing, the hydroxyl radical amount has increased. For the disinfection test, the increase of hydroxyl radicals is useful to reduce the bacteria by the observation in the agar medium. Next, when the superoxide anion solution is mixed with nanobubble containing water, ethanol, and ethylene glycol aqueous solution, H
nanobubble has reduced the superoxide anion slightly. The water containing both CO
and H
nanobubble reduces the superoxide anion. The less than 20% ethanol and the 30% ethylene glycol aqueous solution containing CO
nanobubbles generated after H
nanobubble blowing can diminish the superoxide anion much more. While the H
nanobubble blowing after CO
nanobubble blowing scavenges the superoxide anion slightly. The experimental results have been considered using a chemical reaction formula.
As life becomes richer day by day, the requirement for quality industrial products is becoming greater and greater. Therefore, image anomaly detection on industrial products is of significant ...importance and has become a research hotspot. Industrial manufacturers are also gradually intellectualizing how product parts may have flaws and defects, and that industrial product image anomalies have characteristics such as category diversity, sample scarcity, and the uncertainty of change; thus, a higher requirement for image anomaly detection has arisen. For this reason, we proposed a method of industrial image anomaly detection that applies a generative adversarial network based on attention feature fusion. For the purpose of capturing richer image channel features, we added attention feature fusion based on an encoder and decoder, and through skip-connection, this performs the feature fusion for the encode and decode vectors in the same dimension. During training, we used random cut-paste image augmentation, which improved the diversity of the datasets. We displayed the results of a wide experiment, which was based on the public industrial detection MVTec dataset. The experiment illustrated that the method we proposed has a higher level AUC and the overall result was increased by 4.1%. Finally, we realized the pixel level anomaly localization of the industrial dataset, which illustrates the feasibility and effectiveness of this method.
The bacterial pathogen Legionella pneumophila creates an intracellular niche permissive for its replication by extensively modulating host-cell functions using hundreds of effector proteins delivered ...by its Dot/Icm secretion system
. Among these, members of the SidE family (SidEs) regulate several cellular processes through a unique phosphoribosyl ubiquitination mechanism that bypasses the canonical ubiquitination machinery
. The activity of SidEs is regulated by another Dot/Icm effector known as SidJ
; however, the mechanism of this regulation is not completely understood
. Here we demonstrate that SidJ inhibits the activity of SidEs by inducing the covalent attachment of glutamate moieties to SdeA-a member of the SidE family-at E860, one of the catalytic residues that is required for the mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase activity involved in ubiquitin activation
. This inhibition by SidJ is spatially restricted in host cells because its activity requires the eukaryote-specific protein calmodulin (CaM). We solved a structure of SidJ-CaM in complex with AMP and found that the ATP used in this reaction is cleaved at the α-phosphate position by SidJ, which-in the absence of glutamate or modifiable SdeA-undergoes self-AMPylation. Our results reveal a mechanism of regulation in bacterial pathogenicity in which a glutamylation reaction that inhibits the activity of virulence factors is activated by host-factor-dependent acyl-adenylation.
The instability and volatility of iodine is high, however, effective iodine biocidal species can be readily stored in iodinated azoles and then be released upon decomposition or detonation. Iodine ...azoles with high iodine content and high thermal stability are highly desired. In this work, the strategy of methylene bridging with asymmetric structures of 3,4,5-triiodo-1-H-pyrazole (TIP), 2,4,5-triiodo-1H-imidazol (TIM), and tetraiodo-1H-pyrrole (TIPL) are proposed. Two highly stable fully iodinated methylene-bridged azole compounds 3,4,5-triiodo-1-((2,4,5-triiodo-1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl)-1H-pyrazole (
) and 3,4,5-triiodo-1-((tetraiodo-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)methyl)-1H-pyrazole (
) were obtained with high iodine content and excellent thermal stability (iodine content: 84.27% for compound
and 86.48% for compound
; T
:
: 285 °C,
: 260 °C). Furthermore, their composites with high-energy oxidant ammonium perchlorate (AP) were designed. The combustion behavior and thermal decomposition properties of the formulations were tested and evaluated. This work may open a new avenue to develop advanced energetic biocidal materials with well-balanced energetic and biocidal properties and versatile functionality.
