Abstract: Large scale and limited resources of wireless sensor networks(WSNs) increase the need to cope with node failures. This paper proposes a novel mechanism for the detection of node failures in WSNs. We designed a structure of benzene ring with symmetry. A benzene ring consists of a center node and several child nodes. Reliable communication links among these nodes. Each node maintains a list of its neighbors. The center node delegates detection service and make decisions about faulty nodes based on its child nodes’ available resources. Compared with other solutions, our mechanism can reduce energy consumption, decrease the number of neighborhoods and extend network lifetime. Simulation experiments show the performance and viability of the mechanism.

Abstract: A new type photochromic diarylethene, 1-(2-ethylbenzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)-2- (2-methylphenyl)perfluorocyclopentene (1o), was synthesized, and its photochromic and fluorescent properties were investigated. This compound exhibited reversible photochromism and notable fluorescence photoswitches both in solution and in PMMA films. In addition, the fluorescence spectra of diarylethene 1o evidently depended on the concentration in hexane. Using diarylethene 1c/PMMA film as recording medium, optical recording was carried out successfully.

Abstract: A three-ring containing bent-core compound 1,3-phenylene-bis(4-butoxybenzylidene amine) was synthesized and characterized with differential scanning calorimetry and polarized optical microscopy. It exhibited mesophases in the temperature range of 48-54oC for the first cyclic heating and cooling. Our results demonstrated that three-ring containing bent-core molecules can form mesophases.

Abstract: A bent-core compound with three benzene-ring cores 1,3-phenylene-bis [4-(nonylcarboyloxyl)benzyl ideneamine] was synthesized. Its mesomorphic properties were characterized with differential scanning calorimetry and polarized optical microscopy, respectively. This kind of bent-core compound exhibited mesophases in the temperature range of 155-185oC for the first cooling but cyclic heating and cooling could lower the phase transition temperatures for this bent-core liquid crystal. Our results demonstrated that bent-core molecules with three benzene-ring cores can also form mesophases as those five benzene-ring containing bent-core molecules do.

Abstract: A homologous series of three-benzene-ring containing bent-cores compounds 1,3-phenylene-bis[4-(alkylcarboyloxyl)benzylideneamine] were synthesized. In these molecules the terminal ester chains CH3(CH2)n-2COO-, where n was the number of carbon atoms in the terminal chains, were linked to the central three-benzene-ring containing bent-core. As n changed from 1-12, the melting temperatures and clearing points were in the high temperature ranges of 136-206oC. As n changed in the range of 14-19, the melting temperatures and clearing points were dramatically dropped in a low temperature ranges 60-82oC.
