The corrosion behaviour of polypyrrole coating synthesized in phenylphosphonic acid solution

Electrochemical synthesis of polypyrrole (PPy) film was achieved on mild steel (MS), in monomer containing 0.1 M phenylphosphonic acid solution. The synthesis was carried out using cyclic voltammetry technique. It was found that the electrode surface could only become completely passive, after a few successive cycles in solution of 0.1 M pyrrole + 0.1 M phenylphosphonic acid. Then, the thickness of polymer film was increased with help of successive cycles in a relatively narrower potential range. The corrosion performance of polymer coating was investigated in 3.5% NaCl solution, using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and anodic polarization curves. It was shown that the coating had high stability and low permeability, under such aggressive conditions. The EIS results also showed that the coating exhibited important anodic protection behaviour on mild steel. The percent protection efficiency value (E%) was found to be 98.4% and the percent total porosity value (P%) was determined to be 0.752%, after 96 h exposure time to corrosive solution.     

Calculation of solvation and binding free energy differences between VX-478 and its analogs by free energy perturbation and AMSOL methods

Summary VX-478 belongs to a novel class of HIV-1 protease inhibitors that are based on N,N-disubstituted benzene sulfonamides. Force field parameters for the N,N-dialkyl benzene sulfonamide moiety have been assembled from the literature and from our own ab initio calculations. These parameters were employed to calculate solvation and binding free energy differences between VX-478 and two analogs. The free energy perturbation method has been used to determine these differences using two approaches. In the first approach, intergroup interaction terms only were included in the calculation of free energies (as in most reports of free energy calculations using AMBER). In the second approach, both the inter- and intragroup interaction terms were included. The results obtained with the two approaches are in excellent agreement with each other and are also in close agreement with the experimental results. The solvation free energies of N,N-dimethyl benzene sulfonamide derivatives (truncated models of the inhibitors), calculated using continuum solvation (AMSOL) methods, are found to be in qualitative agreement with the experimental and free energy perturbation results. The binding and solvation free energy results are discussed in the context of structure-based drug design to show how physicochemical properties (for example aqueous solubilities and bioavailabilities) of these HIV-1 protease inhibitors were improved, while maintaining their inhibitory potency.     

An Approximate M—estimation for the Parameters of Mixed Regression Model

Polarization Resistance Study on Copper Corrosion in Aqueous Potassium Hydrogen Phthalate Solution

The effect of temperature on corrosion of copper in 0.1 M aqueous solution of potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHPh) has been investigated using polarization resistance technique. it was found that that the corrosion rate in the range 25–65°C obyes Vant Hoff's and Arrhenius Laws. The results indicate that corrosion of copper in KHPh is mainly cathodically controlled process. The polarization resistance decreases with rising the temperature in accordance with Stern-Geary equation.     

A General Procedure for Synthesis of NG-Alkyl,and NG-Aryl-L-Arginines as Potential Nitric Oxide Synthase inhibitors

A general procedure for the synthesis of N^G-alkyl, and N^G-aryl-L -arginines with relatively high overall yield is reported. The key step involved the coupling of protected L -ornithine 4 with isothiourea 7 to give the fully protected N^G-aryl-L -arginine derivative 8 . Subsequent deprotection of 8 in acidic condition provided the final target compound 9 with an overall yield of more than 80%.

A Newton inexact interior-point method for large scale nonlinear optimization problems

In this paper, we describe a variant of the Newton Interior-Point method in [8] for nonlinear programming problems. In this scheme, the perturbation parameter can be chosen within a range of, values and we can use an iterative method for approximately solving the reduced linear system arising at each step. We have devised the inner termination rule which guarantees the global convergence of this Newton Inexact Interior-Point method. We remark that the required assumptions are weaker than those stated in [8], as shown by some numerical examples. This research was supported by the Italian Ministry for Education, University and Research (MIUR), FIRB Project No. RBAU01JYPN.     

Indirect radiotracer study of the adsorption of corrosion inhibitors on hematite

The specific adsorption of corrosion inhibitors (inorganic and organic compounds) was studied at a metal oxide (hematite) in 0.5 mol dm^–3 NaClO₄ solution by an indirect radiotracer technique. This indirect radiotracer technique is based upon the application of labeled indicator species, which were sulfate species at a concentration of 2×10^–4 mol dm^–3. The displacement of sulfate species was found in all the cases studied. The order of the inhibition efficiency of the corrosion inhibitor molecules is in good agreement with the order of their adsorbabilities. Electronic Publication
