可调移动重叠分离图法用于高效液相色谱多台阶梯度分离条件优化的研究

计算机辅助高效液相色谱（HPLC）分离条件优化可以低成本、快速地得到优化的分离条,因而已较为广泛地用于复杂样品的分离分析。基于移动重叠分离图方法,又发展了一种新型的多台阶梯度分离条件的优化方法可调移动重叠分离图法。该方法通过预测不同流动相条件下各组分的保留时间、峰宽和分离度,绘制出对于样品中各组分的重叠分离区域图。在对当前台阶流动相组成进行优化的同时,考虑其对后面一到两个台阶上流出组分保留的影响,实时地重新绘制对于后面台阶上流出组分的重叠分离区域图。通过观察当前台阶流动相条件对当前台阶和后面台阶上流出组分分离的影响,综合考虑样品中所有组分的分离情况,找到更接近全局最优的分离条件。通过扫描的方法对优化得到的分离条件进行微调,能够进一步提高分离效果。采用文献数据对可调移动重叠分离图法的应用加以说明,在二元流动相体系下,证明了该方法在HPLC方法建立方面的优越性。

Simplified sonochemical preparation of titania embedded with selected metals for purification of benzene and toluene

Titania (TiO₂) photocatalysts, each embedded with one of six metals (Ag, Ce, Co, Fe, Mg, and Mn), were prepared using a simplified ultrasonic process. The characteristics of the prepared metal-embedded TiO₂ (metal–TiO₂) were determined using transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, photoluminescence emission spectroscopy, UV–visible spectroscopy, and nitrogen adsorption–desorption. Except for Co–TiO₂, the metal–TiO₂ photocatalysts showed improved performance for the decomposition of gaseous benzene and toluene, which are two of the most problematic indoor air pollutants that can cause a variety of adverse health symptoms, under daylight lamp irradiation. Photocatalytic activity was greatest for the Mg–TiO₂ sample, followed by, in order, the Ag–TiO₂, Ce–TiO₂, Fe–TiO₂, Mn–TiO₂, unmodified TiO₂, and Co–TiO₂ samples. Although Mg–TiO₂ showed the least redshift in its light absorption and the highest electron–hole recombination rate among the metal–TiO₂ photocatalysts, it yielded the highest photocatalytic activity, likely because of its increased adsorption capacity and anatase composition. The degradation of benzene and toluene over Mg–TiO₂ improved as ultrasound treatment amplitude increased from 20 to 37 μm, then decreased gradually as amplitude was further increased to 49 μm. Degradation efficiency also improved as ultrasound operation time increased from 30 to 60 min, then decreased gradually as amplitude was further increased to 90 min. Overall, this process could be utilized to prepare metal–TiO₂ photocatalysts with improved performance for the decomposition of gas phase pollutants under daylight lamp irradiation.     

Necessary and sufficient conditions for Hölder continuity of Gaussian processes

The continuity of Gaussian processes is an extensively studied topic and it culminates in Talagrand’s notion of majorizing measures that gives complicated necessary and sufficient conditions. In this note we study the Hölder continuity of Gaussian processes. It turns out that necessary and sufficient conditions can be stated in a simple form that is a variant of the celebrated Kolmogorov–Čentsov condition.

WATER MOVEMENT CAUSED BY SPREADING SURFACTANTS IN UNSATURATED SYSTEMS OF PARTICLES OF NONUNIFORM SIZE

The movement of water originated by the spreading of two surfactants was analyzed in glass beads as well as on soil systems, both of particles of nonuniform size

The higher difference of surface tension produced in the system by 1 -hexadecanol compared to that of 1-tetradecanol led therefore to a higher amount of water moved. Decreased proportion of the smaller sized particles in glass beads system produced a decrease in the total water moved by both surfactants.

Organic matter acted in soil as a second surfactant in glass beads. This effect was compared in glass beads systems once 1-hexadecanol was evenly distributed among the particles as continuous film, which played a role alike that of organic matter in soil and then a second surfactant 1-tetradecanol was added. These additional surfactant effect diminished the difference between initial and final surface tension (surface tension depression) of the system and so the total water moved.

The soil organic matter (1.7%) modified the water movement curve in the presence of low (0.2g) content of 1-hexadecanol, whereas for high content of either alcohol (0.4g) or low content of 1-tetradecanol content (0.2g) the water movement curves were the same     

A Singular Limit Problem for Conservation Laws Related to the Camassa–Holm Shallow Water Equation

We consider a shallow water equation of the Camassa–Holm type, which contains nonlinear dispersive effects as well as fourth order dissipative effects. We prove that as the diffusion and dispersion parameters tend to zero, with a condition on the relative balance between these two parameters, smooth solutions of the shallow water equation converge to discontinuous weak solutions of a scalar conservation law. The proof relies on deriving suitable a priori estimates together with an application of the compensated compactness method in the L ^p setting.     

Nonlinear dynamics for proper ferroelastic transitions for which the landau condition is violated

On the basis of a lattice model the domain structure for ferroelastic transformations is examined. The model accounts for both strongly nonlinear and competing interactions which allow for, in some situations, the propagation of nonlinear excitations. The model can be mostly applied to proper ferroelastic transformations of which In-Tl, Ti-Ni, etc.… are good prototypes. The phonon dispersion of the transverse acoustic waves obtained in the linearized case is discussed and the results show first a phonon softening at nonzero wave-number and next an upwards convexity of the phonon branch near the long-wavelength limit. This can be seen as pre-transitional effects. In a fully nonlinear case we consider vanishing dilatation transformations and the continuum approximation is applied to the one-dimensional version. Then, we investigate nonlinear excitations; three main classes of solution are found: i) quasi-harmonic solutions corresponding to periodically modulated structures in space which is a precursor effect of the elastic transformation, ii) an array of solitons made of periodic arrangements of parent-elastic domains and iii) a moving strain soliton. All the significant results are numerically illustrated by means of the microscopic model. Finally, the similarity to martensitic transformations and some extensions of the model are outlined.
