Poly(lactic acid) is a thermoplastic and biodegradable polymer[1-3]. It has a wide range of application in medical fields such as sutures, screws for bone fractures and drug delivery systems. It has additional potential in other fields like agriculture and packaging. In recent years, there has been an increased interest in star-shaped polymers because they have a higher segment density within the distance of its radius of rotation than linear polymers have under the same conditions.[4] (omitted)

We consider closed, star-shaped, admissible hypersurfaces in ℝⁿ⁺¹ expanding along the flow Ẋ = |X|^α-1 F^-β, α ≤ 1, β > 0, and prove that for the case α ≤ 1, β > 0, α + β ≤ 2, this evolution exists for all the time and the evolving hypersurfaces converge smoothly to a round sphere after rescaling. Besides, for the case α ≤ 1, α + β > 2, if furthermore the initial closed hypersurface is strictly convex, then the strict convexity is preserved during the evolution process and the flow blows up at finite time.

Two derivatives of star shaped compounds based on naphthylamine with symmetric trisubstituted benzene as core, methoxy and ethoxy as end substitutions are synthesized. The synthesized compounds are characterized by UV-visible, FT-IR and NMR spectrometric techniques. The electronic and thermal properties of the compounds are studied using cyclic voltametry (CV) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) respectively. The data's obtained have similarity with the arylamines that have been already used in optoelectronic devices. So these compounds are interesting materials for applications in such devices.

In this paper, generalized singular value is defined. Using the generalized singular value, robust stability conditions and robust pole placement conditions of structured uncertain systems with star shaped uncertainties are derived. Especially, norm bounded and polytopic uncertainty regions are considered as star shaped uncertainty regions. Linear matrix inequality problems are proposed in order to compute the upper bound of the generalized singular value. The proposed linear matrix inequality problems can be solved by using the convex optimization method.

The distributions of (or constraints for) amplitude and phase around C-points, including Lemon, Mon-Star and Star, are studied. A Cartesian coordinate system with origin at the C-point is established. Four curves, where the azimuthal angles of polarization ellipses are 0°, 45°, 90°, and 135° respectively, are used to determine the distributions. Discussions of these constraints illustrate why Mon-Star is rarer than Lemon or Star in experiments. The transformation relationships between these three polarization singularities (PSs) are also discussed. We construct suitable functions for amplitude and phase according to their constraints, and simulate several PSs of particular shapes. With the development of modulation techniques for amplitude and phase, it is clear that this work is helpful for generating arbitrarily shaped C-points in experiments.

Normally, a corner cube retroreflector (CCRR) sheet is used as a retroreflective mirror array (RRMA) in a volumetric display. Each CCRR unit reflects light in the retroreflective direction, which is parallel to the incident light, and it makes a blurred image, as it shifts the position of light within its dimensions. Adopting a "curved planar wall" and "parabolic focusing" (x-axis), a hybrid-t(transverse direction)-RRMA is proposed, to improve the image quality and brightness. The improvement of image contrast is achieved by tuning a "linear v-shaped groove" structure to a "parabolic v-shaped groove". Also, the system has been simplified and the brightness enhanced 4 times by removing the half mirror.

We present UBV CCD photometry of the double cluster NGC 1850 located at the NW edge of the bar of the Large Magellanic Cloud. The color-magnitude diagram shows that NGC 1850 has a prominent population of massive core-He burning stars which is incomparably richer than any other known star clusters. The reddening is estimated from the (U-B) - (B-V) diagram to be E(B - V) = $0.15{\pm}0.05$. We have estimated the ages of NGC 1850 and a very compact blue star cluster (NGC 1850A) located at ${\sim}30''$ west of NGC 1850 using isochrones based on the convective overshooting models: $80{\sim}10$ Myrs and $5{\sim}2$ Myra, respectively. Several evidence suggest that it is probably the compact cluster NGC 1850A that is responsible for the arc-shaped nebulosity (Henize N 103B) surrounding the east side of NGC 1850.

We propose, in this paper, the discrete version of NBU$_{Mg}$and show that the NBU$_{Mg}$ class is preserved under both the non-homo geneous poisson shock model and the general shock model.
