Recent progress in triplet energy transfer systems toward organic afterglow materials.

Organic room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) has shown potential applications in the fields of biomedical imaging, chemical sensing, anti-counterfeiting, and encryption. Inspired by natural photosynthesis, artificial light-harvesting systems based on the phosphorescence-type energy transfer (ET) from the triplet excited states of organic RTP emitters have emerged as promising candidates to expand organic afterglow materials and promote practical applications. This review presents a fundamental understanding of phosphorescence-type ET processes, including the one-step triplet-to-singlet ET, stepwise triplet-to-singlet-to-singlet ET, and triplet-to-triplet ET.

Cascade Reaction of Enyne-Amides with Sulfur-Ylides for the Synthesis of Indole-Tethered 5-Oxaspiro[2.4]hept-6-ene Derivatives.

An unexpected cascade reaction of enyne-amides with sulfur-ylides has been developed. This cascade reaction involves cycloisomerization, dearomatic cyclopropanation, ring-opening rearomatization, and subsequent cyclopropanation, differing from the common [2 + n] cyclization of enyne-amides. A variety of (spirocyclopropane)dihydrofuran derivatives have been efficiently and conveniently synthesized in a single vessel, exhibiting excellent diastereoselectivity and good functional group tolerance.

Multibranch Wavelet-Based Network for Image Demoiréing.

Moiré patterns caused by aliasing between the camera's sensor and the monitor can severely degrade image quality. Image demoiréing is a multi-task image restoration method that includes texture and color restoration. This paper proposes a new multibranch wavelet-based image demoiréing network (MBWDN) for moiré pattern removal.

[On the rational exertion for the prescriptions and drugs of TCM in preventing and treating SARS].

Based on the main schemes of the prevention and therapy for SARS issued by the state and provincial administrations of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the characters and regulations for the application and performance of TCM in preventing and treating SARS were studied by cluster analysis. Some problems in the rational exertions of TCM in preventing and treating SARS were also discussed. Some proposals for the rational uses of traditional Chinese drugs (TCD) in preventing and treating SARS were offered finally in this article.
