Headspace solid-phase micro-extraction (HS-SPME) and ultrasonic solvent extraction (USE) were used for red clover honey volatiles extraction. The extracts were analysed using gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Lilac aldehyde isomers dominated in the headspace (individual range from 7.6 % to 21.4 %) followed by phenylacetaldehyde (10.1–31.2 %) and benzaldehyde (7.0–15.7 %). Higher aliphatic alcohols and hydrocarbons were the predominant constituents of the honey extracts. The honey and its extracts exhibited rather weak anti-radical activity (DPPH assay) and total antioxidant activity (FRAP assay). On the other hand, the honey’s inhibitive properties towards the corrosion of AA 2017A alloy in NaCl solution (potentiodynamic polarisation and potentiostatic pulse measurements) revealed the honey to be a very good anodic inhibitor (efficiency up to 76 %) while the honey extracts (USE) showed better inhibition efficacy. 相似文献
Let H be an infinite-dimensional complex Hilbert space and let B(H) be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on (H). In the paper the equivalent definition of the star partial order on B(H), using selfadjoint idempotent operators, is introduced. Also some properties of the generalized concept of order relations on B(H), defined with the help of idempotent operators, are investigated. 相似文献
We extract an invariant taking values in
\mathbbNè{¥}{\mathbb{N}\cup\{\infty\}} , which we call the order of algebraic torsion, from the Symplectic Field Theory of a closed contact manifold, and show that its finiteness gives obstructions to the existence
of symplectic fillings and exact symplectic cobordisms. A contact manifold has algebraic torsion of order 0 if and only if
it is algebraically overtwisted (i.e. has trivial contact homology), and any contact 3-manifold with positive Giroux torsion
has algebraic torsion of order 1 (though the converse is not true). We also construct examples for each
k ? \mathbbN{k \in \mathbb{N}} of contact 3-manifolds that have algebraic torsion of order k but not k − 1, and derive consequences for contact surgeries on such manifolds. 相似文献
Electrode catalysts composed of carbon-supported PtRu nanoparticles (PtRu/C) for use as a direct methanol fuel cell anode were synthesized by the reduction of precursor ions in an aqueous solution via irradiation with a high-energy electron beam. The effect of pH control in the precursor solution on the PtRu mixing state and the methanol oxidation activity was studied in order to enhance the catalytic activity for methanol oxidation. The PtRu/C structures were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, and X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption fine structure techniques. The methanol oxidation activity was evaluated by linear sweep voltammetry. The initial pH of the precursor solution has little influence on the average grain size for the metal particles (approximately 3.5 nm) on the carbon particle supports, but the dispersibility of the metal particles, PtRu mixing state, and methanol oxidation activity differed. The maintenance of a low pH in the precursor solution gave the best dispersibility of the PtRu nanoparticles supported on the surface of the carbon particles, whereas, a high pH gave the best PtRu mixing state and the highest oxidation current although a low dispersibility of the PtRu nanoparticles supported on the surface of the carbon particles was obtained. The PtRu mixing state strongly correlated with the methanol oxidation current. In addition, a high pH was more effective for PtRu mixing when using an electron beam irradiation reduction method, because the complexation reaction of the chelating agents was improved, which resulted in an enhancement of the catalytic activity for methanol oxidation. 相似文献

We focus on two topics that are related to moduli of elements in partially ordered vector spaces. First, we relate operators that preserve moduli to generalized notions of lattice homomorphisms, such as Riesz homomorphisms, Riesz* homomorphisms, and positive disjointness preserving operators. We also consider complete Riesz homomorphisms, which generalize order continuous lattice homomorphisms. Second, we characterize elements with a modulus by means of disjoint elements and apply this result to obtain moduli of functionals and operators in various settings. On spaces of continuous functions, we identify those differences of Riesz* homomorphisms that have a modulus. Many of our results for pre-Riesz spaces of continuous functions lead to results on order unit spaces, where the functional representation is used.
Let D be an arbitrary division ring and Mn(D) the multiplicative semigroup of all n×n matrices over D. We study non-degenerate, injective homomorphisms from M2(D) to M4(D). In particular, we present a structural result for the case when D is the ring of quaternions. 相似文献
Let A and B be positive operators on a Banach lattice such that the commutator C = AB − BA is also positive. We study the size of the spectrum of C. 相似文献
