A failure of a class of K-BKZ equations based on principal stretches

The invariants in the K-BKZ constitutive equation for an incompressible viscoelastic fluid are usually taken to be the trace of the Finger strain tensor and its inverse. The basis for this choice of invariants is not derived from the K-BKZ theory, but rather is due to the perception that this is the most natural choice. Research into using other sets of invariants in the K-BKZ equation, such as the principal stretches or the eigenvalues of the Finger strain tensor (i.e., the squares of the principal stretches) is relatively new. We attempt here to derive a K-BKZ equation based on the squares of the principal stretches that models the behavior of a low-density polyethylene melt in simple shear and uniaxial elongational deformation. In doing so, two assumptions are made as to the form of the strain-dependent energy function: first, that there is a function f(q) such that the energy function can be written as the sum of f(q _i ),i = 1, 2, 3, where the q _i 'sare the squares of the principal stretches, and second that f is a power law. We find that the K-BKZ equation resulting from these two assumptions is inadequate to describe both the shear and elongational behavior of our material and we conclude that the second of the above assumptions is not valid. Further investigation, including predictions of the second normal stress difference and some finite element calculations reveals that the first assumption is also invalid for our material.     

Genetic algorithm‐based wavelength selection method for spectral calibration

In this paper, we propose a genetic algorithm‐based wavelength selection (GAWLS) method for visible and near‐infrared (Vis/NIR) spectral calibration. The objective of GAWLS is to construct robust and predictive regression models by selecting informative wavelength regions. To demonstrate the ability of the proposed method, regression models for soil properties and sugar content of apples are constructed by using GAWLS and other variable selection methods.

检测维生素C的囊泡荧光传感器的制备

利用合成的含有识别基团苯硼酸和荧光读出基团萘的新型双亲化合物(DNMPBA)在THF/水选择性溶剂中自组织成囊泡,囊泡的相变温度为56.8℃;当向囊泡体系加维生素C时,DNMPBA囊泡中的萘生色基在345nm的荧光峰强度急剧减弱.荧光强度减弱归于所形成的硼酸酯增强了DNMPBA双亲化合物中一个氧原子孤对电子对萘生色基的淬灭作用.DNMPBA囊泡与维生素C的相互作用而导致体系荧光强度变化,使该体系有可能应用于检测生物物质如维生素C的化学传感器.     

新型含苯硼酸和喹啉的囊泡荧光多糖传感器的制备

利用合成的含有识别基团苯硼酸和荧光读出基团喹啉的新型双亲化合物对硼酸苯甲基-8-十六烷氧基溴化喹啉(BHQB)在水中自组织成囊泡,囊泡的相变温度为52.4℃;当向囊泡体系加糖时,BHQB囊泡中的喹啉生色基在508nm的荧光峰强度急剧减弱,425nm处荧光逐渐增强.荧光强度变化可能归于所形成的硼酸酯改变了双亲化合物中硼原子的杂化轨道形式,进一步引起了整个分子内部的电子云排布所致.BHQB囊泡与糖的相互作用而导致体系荧光强度变化,并且这种变化的幅度与加入糖的种类和量均有关.因此体系有可能应用于检测生物物质如糖的化学传感器.

A thermodynamic consistency test for the binary constant-temperature VLE data using numerically optimized binary parameters

A thermodynamic consistency (TC) test for the constant-temperature VLE data was investigated by numerically optimizing the binary parameters of the activity coefficient equations to satisfy the Gibbs–Duhem (GD) equation. It was shown that the one parameter Margules equation can best satisfy the GD equation, even if significant experimental errors are involved. A thermodynamic consistency (TC) criterion was defined using the one parameter Margules equation. The TC criterion showed that, of the 37 alkane–alkane, 18 methanol–water and 44 ethanol–water binaries, 36, 16 and 1 binaries are reliable, respectively. Simple liquid mixtures meet the TC criterion.

Colorimetric and fluorometric sensing of the Lewis acidity of a metal ion by metal-ion complexation of imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-3(7H)-ones

Metal-ion complexation of 7-benzylimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-3(7H)-one derivative (2) with Li⁺, Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, Ba²⁺, Sc³⁺, and La³⁺ in acetonitrile resulted in successive modulations of its UV/vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopic properties. This result indicates that 2 can be used as a colorimetric and fluorometric sensor of the Lewis acidity of a metal ion in aprotic solutions. The hypothesis that the metal-ion complex has a O10(imidazopyrazinone)-metal ion bond was supported by X-ray crystallographic analysis and quantum chemical calculations for a Li⁺ complex of 7-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-3(7H)-one derivative (1).     

Synthesis of a Tricyclic Core of Rameswaralide

A tricyclic core containing a 5,7-fused bicyclic unit of rameswaralide was prepared starting from a 1,6-enyne. The synthetic sequence involved (i) ruthenium-catalyzed [5+2]-cycloaddition of 1,6-enyne, (ii) an acyl radical based approach to construct the lactone, and (iii) a regioselective installation of the conjugated double bond by a concomitant sulfenylation-dehydrosulfenylation sequence.     

Ribonucleotide and ribonucleoside determination by ambient pressure ion mobility spectrometry

Detection limits and reduced mobilities for 12 ribonucleotides and 4 ribonucleosides were measured by ambient pressure electrospray ionization-ion mobility spectrometry (ESI-IMS). With the instrument used in this study it was possible to separate some of these compounds within mixtures. Detection limits reported for ribonucleotides and ribonucleosides ranged from 15 to 300 pmol and the reduced mobilities ranged from 41 to 56 suggesting that ambient pressure ESI-IMS may be used for their rapid and sensitive separation and detection. This report demonstrates that it was possible to use ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) to obtain a spectrum for the separation of nucleotides and nucleosides in less than 1 min. The application holds great promise for nucleotide analysis in the area of separating DNA fragments in genome sequencing and also for forensics DNA typing examinations used for the identification of blood stains in crime scenes and paternity testing.
