Usage of Empore™ membrane in alcoholic media for copper(II) distribution studies

The sorption of copper(II) on a solid, iminodiacetic based, chelating material, the Empore™ membrane, in alcoholic solutions is considered. Determination of the acid-base properties, kinetic of metal sorption and complexing properties, in solutions with different percentages of ethanol, ranging from 0 to 40% is undertaken. The results are compared with those obtained using the classical iminodiacetic resin Chelex 100 in beads. No significant differences are found in the thermodynamic properties, but the kinetics of the metal sorption on the membrane is slower and a dependence of the process rate with the alcoholic content is observed. In the present investigation, the detection of copper(II) species both in alcoholic Italian distillate “grappa” and in its intermediate product (“flemma”), is carried out by the Resin Titration (RT) method using, as competitive reagent, the Empore™ membrane. To validate the procedure, synthetic solutions containing different percentages of ethanol are analysed.

Spatial competition facility location models: Definition,formulation and solution approach

Models are presented for locating a firm's production facilities and determining production levels at these facilities so as to maximize the firm's profit. These models take into account the changes in price at each of the spatially separated markets that would result from the increase in supply provided by the new facilities and also from the response of competing firms. Two different models of spatial competition are presented to represent the competitive market situation in which the firm's production facilities are being located. These models are formulated as variational inequalities; recent sensitivity analysis results for variational inequalities are used to develop derivatives of the prices at each of the spatially separated markets with respect to the production levels at each of the new facilities. These derivatives are used to develop a linear approximation of the implicit function relating prices to productions. A heuristic solution procedure making use of this approximation is proposed.     

Microwave assisted fluorination: an improved method for side chain fluorination of substituted 1-arylethanones

A two-step, one-pot microwave (MW) assisted fluorination of 1-arylethanones to their corresponding 1-aryl-2-fluoroethanones has been developed. The first step utilises Selectfluor™ as a fluorinating agent in methanol forming 1-aryl-2-fluoroethanones and their corresponding dimethyl acetals. In the second step, water is added and Selectfluor™ acts as a Lewis acid in the hydrolytic cleavage of the dimethyl acetals. Compared to the thermal synthesis, the MW assisted method leads to a reduction in reaction time both in the fluorination and for the dimethyl acetal cleavage. Moreover, the one-pot procedure reduces reagent and solvent consumption. The method is best suited for the preparation of 1-aryl-2-fluoroethanones containing substituents that deactivates electrophilic aromatic substitution, however highly electron deficient ketones such as 1-(3,5-dinitrophenyl)ethanone reacts more slowly. Reactions using electron rich aromatic ketones had a low regioselectivity, and also produced fluoroaromatic products.     

On a class of singular stochastic control problems driven by Lévy noise

A class of singular stochastic control problems whose value functions satisfy an invariance property was studied by Lasry and Lions (2000). They have shown that, within this class, any singular control problem is equivalent to the corresponding standard stochastic control problem. The equivalence is in the sense that their value functions are equal. In this work, we clarify their idea and extend their work to allow Lévy type noise. In addition, for the purpose of application, we apply our result to an optimal trade execution problem studied by Lasry and Lions (2007).

马歇尔-勒纳条件的实证研究

本文从人民币实际汇率变动是否会对我国贸易收支产生影响出发，基于马歇尔．勒纳条件，对计算贸易弹性常用的OLS回归模型进行了改进，建立了向量自回归误差修正模型来估算我国的国际贸易弹性。实证研究表明：我国进出口需求的价格弹性之和大于1。因此人民币贬值可改善贸易收支；反之升值将使贸易收支恶化。     

信息熵增量最小化准则在供应链中的应用

本文研究了在考虑利润最大化准则和信息熵增量最小准则下，既能满足了利润最大化，又要增加利润可得性，销售商如何确定订购量的问题。数字实验表明：考虑双重准则得到的策略比仅考虑利润最大化准则得到的策略更好，可以使供应链、销售商及制造商都受益。
