AbstractDeposition of perovskite films by antisolvent engineering is a highly common method employed in perovskite photovoltaics research. Herein, we report on a general method that allows for the fabrication of highly efficient perovskite solar cells by any antisolvent via manipulation of the antisolvent application rate. Through detailed structural, compositional, and microstructural characterization of perovskite layers fabricated by 14 different antisolvents, we identify two key factors that influence the quality of the perovskite layer: the solubility of the organic precursors in the antisolvent and its miscibility with the host solvent(s) of the perovskite precursor solution, which combine to produce rate-dependent behavior during the antisolvent application step. Leveraging this, we produce devices with power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) that exceed 21% using a wide range of antisolvents. Moreover, we demonstrate that employing the optimal antisolvent application procedure allows for highly efficient solar cells to be fabricated from a broad range of precursor stoichiometries.

Stereocontrolled total synthesis of (+)-vinblastine (1) has been achieved using a novel radical-mediated indole synthesis developed in our laboratories. The isothiocyanate 18, prepared readily from quinoline 17, underwent a facile addition of the malonate anion to give 19. The o-alkenylthioanilide 19 was then converted to indole 20 by radical cyclization and protection. (−)-Vindoline (2) was prepared from this key intermediate 20 in a highly efficient manner. The indole core of the 11-membered intermediate 3 was constructed similarly from quinoline. The critical coupling reaction between 2 and the chloroindolenine derived from 3 proceeded with complete control of stereochemistry to give the desired product 66 in 97 % yield, which could be successfully converted to (+)-vinblastine (1).

Summary Gas-alkane interfacial tension (IFT) is an important parameter in the enhanced oil recovery (EOR) process. Thus, it is imperative to obtain an accurate gas-alkane mixture IFT for both chemical and petroleum engineering applications. Various empirical correlations have been developed in the past several decades. Although these models are often easy to implement, their accuracy is inconsistent over a wide range of temperatures, pressures, and compositions. Although statistical mechanics-based models and molecular simulations can accurately predict gas-alkane IFT, they usually come with an extensive computational cost. The Shardt-Elliott (SE) model is a highly accurate IFT model that for subcritical fluids is analytic in terms of temperature T and composition x. In applications, it is desirable to obtain IFT in terms of temperature T and pressure P, which requires time-consuming flash calculations, and for mixtures that contain a gas component greater than its pure species critical point, additional critical composition calculations are required. In this work, the SE model is combined with a machine learning (ML) approach to obtain highly efficient and highly accurate gas-alkane binary mixture IFT equations directly in terms of temperature, pressure, and alkane molar weights. The SE model is used to build an IFT database (more than 36,000 points) for ML training to obtain IFT equations. The ML-based IFT equations are evaluated in comparison with the available experimental data (888 points) and with the SE model, as well as with the less accurate parachor model. Overall, the ML-based IFT equations show excellent agreement with experimental data for gas-alkane binary mixtures over a wide range of T and P, and they outperform the widely used parachor model. The developed highly efficient and highly accurate IFT functions can serve as a basis for modeling gas-alkane binary mixtures for a broad range of T, P, and x.

With the introduction of new Trost-type bisphosphine ligands bearing a chiral cycloalkane framework, the highly efficient and enantioselective Palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative dearomative asymmetric allylic alkylation (AAA) of benzofurans was achieved. This enabled a diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS) of previously unreachable flavaglines, which features two diversification stages. A new avenue for developing flavagline-based drugs was thus established.

Location services for ad-hoc networks are of indispensable value for a wide range of applications, such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs). Each context requires a solution that addresses the specific needs of the application. For instance, IoT sensor nodes have resource constraints (i.e., computational capabilities), and so a localization service should be highly efficient to conserve the lifespan of these nodes. We propose an optimized energy-aware and low computational solution, requiring 3-GPS equipped nodes (anchor nodes) in the network. Moreover, the computations are lightweight and can be implemented distributively among nodes. Knowing the maximum range of communication for all nodes and distances between 1-hop neighbors, each node localizes itself and shares its location with the network in an efficient manner. We simulate our proposed algorithm in a NS-3 simulator, and compare our solution with state-of-the-art methods. Our method is capable of localizing more nodes (≈90% of nodes in a network with an average degree ≈10).

Abstract Lily belongs to family liliaceae, which mainly propagates vegetatively. Therefore, sufficient number of polymorphic, informative, and functional molecular markers are essential for studying a wide range of genetic parameters in Lilium species. We attempted to develop, characterize and design SSR (simple sequence repeat) markers using online genetic resources for analyzing genetic diversity and population structure of Lilium species. We found di-nucleotide repeat motif were more frequent (4684) within 0.14 gb (giga bases) transcriptome than other repeats, of which was two times higher than tetra-repeat motifs. Frequency of di-(AG/CT), tri-(AGG/CTT), tetra-(AAAT), penta-(AGAGG), and hexa-(AGAGGG) repeats was 34.9%, 7.0%, 0.4%, 0.3%, and 0.2%, respectively. A total of 3607 non-redundant SSR primer pairs was designed based on the sequences of CDS, 5′-UTR and 3′-UTR region covering 34%, 14%, 23%, respectively. Among them, a sub set of primers (245 SSR) was validated using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification, of which 167 primers gave expected PCR amplicon and 101 primers showed polymorphism. Each locus contained 2 to 12 alleles on average 0.82 PIC (polymorphic information content) value. A total of 87 lily accessions was subjected to genetic diversity analysis using polymorphic SSRs and found to separate into seven groups with 0.73 to 0.79 heterozygosity. Our data on large scale SSR based genetic diversity and population structure analysis may help to accelerate the breeding programs of lily through utilizing different genomes, understanding genetics and characterizing germplasm with efficient manner.
