We prepared GdS:Eu3+ by simple thermal decomposition under 1-dodecanethiol. A reduction process was observed from Eu3+ to Eu2+ when oleic acid and hexadecylamine were injected into GdS:Eu3+. Under UV excitation, GdS:Eu3+ showed an intense orange-red emission and GdS:Eu2+ showed a broad green band.

Experimental study of wave transmission and drift velocity using freely floating synthetic ice floes

Sung Boo Park, Seong Yun Shin, Da Gyun Shin, Hyunjung Park, Kwang Hyo Jung, Sung Bu Suh, Jaeyong Lee, Seung Jae Lee, Hyun Soo Kim

Summary: Wave-ice interactions were experimentally investigated in a three-dimensional wave basin. The transmission coefficient and mean drift velocity of model ice floes were studied under different wave conditions. The results showed that the transmission coefficient increased with wave period and decreased with ice concentration and ice-covered length. The mean ice drift velocity was influenced by wave steepness and had little effect from ice concentration.

Effect of oxidant on the epoxidation of methyl oleate over transition metal-based Al2O3 catalysts

Wonjin Jeon, Ji-Yeon Park, Min-Cheol Kim, Seung-Jae Lee, Deog-Keun Kim

Summary: Various transition metal-based Al2O3 catalysts show significantly different activities in the epoxidation of methyl oleate using H2O2 and O2 as oxidants. The reactivity in H2O2-based epoxidation is proportional to the acidity of the catalysts, while in O2-based epoxidation, it depends on the redox properties of the catalysts and O2 behavior on the catalyst surface. Mo and Cu-based catalysts exhibit outstanding performance with H2O2 and O2 via different reaction pathways. These findings provide valuable insights for designing catalytic reaction processes based on the type of oxidizing agent.

Action plans on the reduction of mobility energy consumption based on personal mobility activation

Minje Choi, DongGyun Ku, Sion Kim, Juhyeon Kwak, Yoonjung Jang, Doyun Lee, Seungjae Lee

Summary: Personal Mobility (PM) in Seoul, South Korea has gained popularity as an eco-friendly mode of transportation. However, there is a risk of collision when riding PM vehicles on sidewalks. Studies have been conducted to create a safer environment through the use of PM-only lanes and PM-based playgrounds. The implementation of PM-only lanes can lead to a reduction in vehicle kilometers traveled and contribute to environmental benefits. Similarly, creating PM-based playgrounds can promote safer driving through education and data collection. These measures have the potential to activate public transportation usage and reduce energy consumption while ensuring safety and convenience.

Metro Network Operational Solutions for Connectivity Control based on Percolation Theory

Sion Kim, Donggyun Ku, Seungjae Lee

Summary: This study applies percolation theory to analyze the connectivity of transportation networks. It explores the impact of penalties on network travel time by imposing wait times on public transportation nodes. The results demonstrate that penalizing transfer stations has a significant and global effect on travel time, and using a trip frequency weight increases the impact of penalties on medium- or short-timed trips. These findings could inform the development of quarantine policies for controlling public transportation networks.

Relational analysis between economic activities and mobility during coronavirus disease

Yoonjung Jang, Donggyun Ku, Minje Choi, Dahye Kim, Doyun Lee, Seungjae Lee

Summary: Since being declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020, Covid-19 has had a significant impact on daily life. Studies in Korea have shown a decrease in public transportation use, particularly during widespread infection. Additionally, the number of people shopping in commercial districts has significantly decreased. This study analyzes the factors influencing the spread of Covid-19, including transportation demand, revitalization of commercial districts, population movement, and socio-economic indicators, aiming to identify infection factors in different districts of Seoul and provide a foundation for proactive measures to control infectious diseases.

Mobility challenges for senior passengers during the Covid-19 pandemic

Donggyun Ku, Dahye Kim, Seungjae Lee

Summary: This paper aims to clarify the differences in the factors influencing subway traffic behaviour of senior passengers and non-senior passengers during the Covid-19 pandemic in Seoul, South Korea, using big data. The study analyzes the influencing factors of subway use and identifies the factors affecting senior passengers and non-senior passengers through statistical analysis and regression models. The results show that senior passengers are more affected by subway use, with cultural gathering facilities and the number of subway stations being the most influential factors. The regression model has high explanatory power in southern Seoul, where the influencing factors are concentrated.

Nontrivial twisted states in nonlocally coupled Stuart-Landau oscillators

Seungjae Lee, Katharina Krischer

Summary: Twisted state is an important and simple form of collective dynamics in oscillatory medium, characterized by inhomogeneous profiles of amplitudes and phase gradients. In this study, we investigate a non-trivial twisted state in a system of nonlocally coupled Stuart-Landau oscillators using various methods including linear stability analysis, Lyapunov exponents, and covariant Lyapunov vectors. We show that the non-trivial twisted state is robust and can be born or annihilated in saddle-node bifurcations and change stability in Hopf bifurcations.

Summary: This study presents the design and synthesis of sulfated disaccharide inhibitors based on IdoA(2S)-GlcNS(6S), which showed potent inhibition of Sulf-2. The results suggest that IdoA(2S)-GlcNS(6S) is the shortest fragment size required for effective inhibition of Sulfs, and a trisulfated disaccharide is identified as the minimal fragment size of heparan sulfate for effective endosulfatase inhibition.

Reductive cyclodimerization of chalcones: exploring the self-adaptability of galvanostatic electrosynthesis

Mauro Garbini, Andrea Brunetti, Riccardo Pedrazzani, Magda Monari, Massimo Marcaccio, Giulio Bertuzzi, Marco Bandini

Summary: The self-adaptability of galvanostatic electrolysis was found to be helpful in a multistage chemo- and diastereoselective electrochemically promoted cyclodimerization of chalcones. Through a series of reductive events, densely functionalized cyclopentanes with five contiguous stereocenters were obtained (25 examples, yields up to 95%, dr values up to >20:1). Further experimental and electrochemical investigations indicated the crucial role of dynamic kinetic resolution of the aldol intermediate in the reaction mechanism.

Dhananjay S. Nipate, Neha Meena, Prakash N. Swami, Krishnan Rangan, Anil Kumar

Summary: In this study, the synthesis of functionalized benzo[a]phenazines and indazolo[2,3-a]quinolines was achieved through Rh(III)-catalyzed oxidative annulation of 2-arylquinoxalines and 2-aryl-2H-indazoles with allyl alcohols. The method showed a wide substrate scope, excellent functional group tolerance, good to high yields of annulated products, and the capability for scaled-up synthesis. A tentative mechanism of the annulation reaction was proposed based on a preliminary mechanistic investigation.
