MULTIDIMENSIONAL UPWIND RESIDUAL DISTRIBUTION SCHEMES FOR THE CONVECTION–DIFFUSION EQUATION

Multidimensional residual distribution schemes for the convection–diffusion equation are described. Compact upwind cell vertex schemes are used for the discretization of the convective term. For the diffusive term, two approaches are compared: the classical finite element Galerkin formulation, which preserves the compactness of the stencil used for the convective part, and various residual-based approaches in which the diffusive term, evaluated after a reconstruction step, is upwinded along with the convective term.     

Cross-linked coatings for electrophoretic separations in poly(dimethylsiloxane) microchannels

We have developed a strategy using ultraviolet light to polymerize mixed monomer solutions onto the surface of a poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) microdevice. By including monomers with different chemical properties, electrophoretic separations were optimized for a test set of analytes. The properties of surfaces grafted with a single neutral monomer, a neutral and a negative monomer, or a neutral, negative, and cross-linking monomer were assessed. The highest quality separations were achieved in channels with cross-linked coatings. The separation efficiency for biologically relevant peptides (kinase substrates) on these surfaces was as high as 18 600 theoretical plates in a 2.5 cm channel. The test peptides were fluorescein-AEEEIYGEFEAKKKK, fluorescein-GRPRAATFAEG, fluorescein-GRPRAA(T-PO(3))FAEG, fluorescein-DLDVPIP GRFDRRVSVAAE, and fluorescein-DLDVPIPGRFDRRV(S-PO(3))VAAE. Separations between two different peptides occurred in as little as 400 ms after injection into the separation channel. The simultaneous separation of five kinase and phosphatase substrates was also demonstrated. By carefully selecting mixtures of monomers with the appropriate properties, it may be possible to tailor the surface of PDMS for a large number of different electrophoretic separations.     

Photochemical and chemical oxidation of alpha-dimine-dithiolene metal complexes: insight into the role of the metal atom

[Pd(bpy)(bdt)], 2 (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, bdt = 1,2-benzenedithiolate), was prepared in good yield by the reaction of bdtNa2 with [(bpy)PdCl2] in DMSO. The analogous nickel complex, 1, was prepared in a similar reaction using MeOH/CH2Cl2 and [(bpy)NiCl2.dmf]2. Both 1 (a = 7.9920(1) A, b = 11.4385(1) A, c = 16.1415(1) A, beta = 103.327(1) degrees, V = 1435.86(2) A3, Z = 4) and 2 (a = 8.1631(5) A, b = 11.4379(7) A, c = 16.2475(10) A, beta = 103.7010(10) degrees, V = 1473.84(12) A3, Z = 4) crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c and are isostructural with their previously reported platinum analogue. In accord with the results observed for platinum but not nickel, photochemical oxidation of 2 in DMF provides the monosulfinate complex [Pd(bpy)(bdtO2)], 4, along with a minor amount of the corresponding disulfinate [Pd(bpy)(bdtO4)], 5, while chemical oxidation yields only the latter. 4 cocrystallizes with 5 in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c (a = 8.026(3) A, b = 14.600(6) A, c = 13.371(3) A, beta = 101.80(3) degrees, V = 1533.8(9) A3, Z = 4) as does pure 5 (a = 8.5611(9) A, b = 14.4586(15) A, c = 13.3677(14) A, beta = 108.122(2) degrees, V = 1572.6(3) A3, Z = 4). Comparison of spectroscopic and electrochemical properties of the three complexes, [M(bpy)(bdt)], yields the following ordering for the energy of the HOMO: Pd < Ni < Pt. The observed reactivity patterns and the electronic data suggest that the "anomalous" reactivity of 1 be attributed to the greater relative flexibility of the coordination geometry for nickel(II) complexes rather than electronic differences such as the energies of the frontier orbitals.     

Raman studies of pressure tuning of the fermi resonance in solid CO2

Raman studies on the v₁, 2v₂ Fermi doublet in solid CO₂ up to 100 kbar at ambient temperature show the upper peak to increase and the lower peak to decrease both in intensity and frequency. It is concluded that the bare v₁ is above the bare 2v₂ at all pressures in solid CO₂.     

HPLC-photolysis-electrochemical detection in pharmaceutical analysis: application to the determination of spironolactone and hydrochlorothiazide in tablets

To extend the applicability of electrochemical detection in pharmaceutical analysis, an on-line postcolumn photochemical reactor is used to produce electroactive photoderivatives of selected cardiovascular drugs. This system is applied to the analysis of dosage forms containing spironolactone in both single-component formulation and in combination with hydrochlorothiazide. The pH of the mobile phase and irradiation time within the reactor are optimized to produce maximum amperometric response. Spironolactone, hydrochlorothiazide, and 4-amino-6-chloro-1,3-benzenedisulfonamide, the synthetic precursor and hydrolysis product of hydrochlorothiazide, are separated by reversed-phase chromatography on a 5-microns cyano bonded phase column within nine minutes by using a methanol-phosphate buffer mobile phase. Minimum detectable levels are in the low ng range.     

Tailoring the surface properties of poly(dimethylsiloxane) microfluidic devices

Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) is an attractive material for microelectrophoretic applications because of its ease of fabrication, low cost, and optical transparency. However, its use remains limited compared to that of glass. A major reason is the difficulty of tailoring the surface properties of PDMS. We demonstrate UV grafting of co-mixed monomers to customize the surface properties of PDMS microfluidic channels in a simple one-step process. By co-mixing a neutral monomer with a charged monomer in different ratios, properties between those of the neutral monomer and those of the charged monomer could be selected. Mixtures of four different neutral monomers and two different charged monomers were grafted onto PDMS surfaces. Functional microchannels were fabricated from PDMS halves grafted with each of the different mixtures. By varying the concentration of the charged monomer, microchannels with electrophoretic mobilities between +4 x 10(-4) cm2/(V s) and -2 x 10(-4) cm2/(V s) were attainable. In addition, both the contact angle of the coated surfaces and the electrophoretic mobility of the coated microchannels were stable over time and upon exposure to air. By carefully selecting mixtures ofmonomers with the appropriate properties, it may be possible to tailor the surface of PDMS for a large number of different applications.     

Reversible oxidative addition and reductive elimination of fluorinated disulfides at gold(I) thiolate complexes: a new ligand exchange mechanism

Reaction of HAuCl4 x 3 H2O with excess HSAr (Ar = C6F5 or C6F4H) in ethanol, followed by addition of [Et4N]Cl, produced [Et4N][Au(SAr)4] (Ar = C6F5 (1a) or C6F4H (1b)) as red crystalline solids in high yield. These complexes are rare examples of homoleptic gold(III) thiolate complexes. The crystal structures 1 show square planar geometry at the gold center with elongated Au-S bonds. Both complexes undergo reversible reductive elimination/oxidative addition processes in solution via thermal and photochemical pathways. Equilibrium constant and photostationary state measurements indicate that the relative importance of the two pathways depends on the nature of the aromatic groups. The metal-containing reductive elimination products, [Et4N][Au(SAr)2] (Ar = C6F5 (2a) or C6F4H (2b)), were confirmed by both independent synthesis and crystallographic characterization. Cross-reactions between either 1 or 2 and various disulfides led to ligand exchange via an addition-elimination process, a previously unknown reaction pathway for ligand exchange at gold(I) centers.     

Scheduling jobs with position-dependent processing times

The paper is devoted to some single machine scheduling problems, where job processing times are defined by functions dependent on their positions in the sequence. It is assumed that each job is available for processing at its ready time. We prove some properties of the special cases of the problems for the following optimization criteria: makespan, total completion time and total weighted completion time. We prove strong NP-hardness of the makespan minimization problem for two different models of job processing time. The reductions are done from the well-known 3-Partition Problem. In order to solve the makespan minimization problems, we suggest the Earliest Ready Date algorithms, for which the worst-case ratios are calculated. We also prove that the makespan minimization problem with job ready times is equivalent to the maximum lateness minimization problem.
