Abstract: A construction method for a (n,n(n?1),n?1) permutation group code based on coset partition is provided. The presented (n,n(n?1),n?1) permutation group code has an error-correcting capability of d?1 and features a strong anti-interference capability for channel interferences comprising multi-frequency interferences and signal fading. As n is a prime, for a permutation code family with a minimum distance of n?1 and a code set size of n(n?1), the invention provides a method of calculating n?1 orbit leader permutation codewords by On={?o1}?=1n?1(mod n) and enumerating residual codewords of the code set by Pn=CnOn={(l1)n?1On}={(rn)n?1On)}. Besides, a generator of the code set thereof is provided. The (n,n(n?1),n?1) permutation group code of the invention is an algebraic-structured code, n?1 codewords of the orbit leader array can be obtained simply by adder and (mod n) calculator rather than multiplication of positive integers.

Abstract: A method for a synthesis of a polymer containing multiple epoxy groups includes steps of: under protection of nitrogen or argon, with a photosensitive free radical initiator under an ultraviolet light irradiation, initiating a mixture of a dithiol compound and alkynyl glycidyl ether or other alkynyl-containing compounds to proceed a thiol-yne polymerization, so as to obtain the polymer. The number of the epoxy groups is able to be adjusted through changing a type of a dithiol monomer, a mixing ratio of the dithiol monomer, and a mixing ratio between the alkynyl glycidyl ether and other alkynyl compounds. The present invention has advantages of: fast reaction, convenient process, easy post-processing, a large number of the epoxy groups, and adjustable and controllable content. The obtained polymer has a wide potential application in fields of coating, adhesive, ink, encapsulating material, resin for composite material, additive, high performance material, function material, and so on.

Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting the presence of biomolecules in a sample using biosensors that incorporate resonators which have functionalized surfaces for reacting with target biomolecules. In one embodiment, a device includes a piezoelectric resonator having a functionalized surface configured to react with target molecules, thereby changing the mass and/or charge of the resonator which consequently changes the frequency response of the resonator. The resonator's frequency response after exposure to a sample is compared to a reference, such as the frequency response before exposure to the sample, a stored baseline frequency response or a control resonator's frequency response.
