Preparation of a monolith functionalized with zinc oxide nanoparticles and its application in the enrichment of fluoroquinolone antibiotics

This study describes the enrichment ability of ZnO‐modified methacrylic acid‐co‐ethylene dimethacrylate polymer monoliths as stationary phases for the simultaneous determination of antibiotics (ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, enoxacin, and pefloxacin) combined with high‐performance liquid chromatography. The prepared monolith was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier‐transformed infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The polymer monolith microextraction method has been applied to the enrichment of fluoroquinolone antibiotics and satisfactory results were obtained in the analysis of water samples. Compared with the conventional methacrylic acid based monolith, the developed monolith exhibited a higher enrichment capacity because of the introduction of zinc oxide into the preparation process.     

Universal arcs in local tournaments

An arc $uv$ of a digraph $D$ is called universal if $uv$ and $w$ are in a common cycle for any vertex $w$ of $D$. In this paper we characterize local tournaments whose every arc is universal.     

Cartesian Closed Extensions of Subcategories of CONT

In this paper we give a uniform way of proving cartesian closedness for many new subcategories of continuous posets. We define C-P to be the category of continuous posets whose D–completions are isomorphic to objects from C, where C is a subcategory of the category CONT of domains. The main result is that if C is a cartesian closed full subcategory of ALG _⊥ or BC, then C-P is also a cartesian closed subcategory of the category CONTP of continuous posets and Scott continuous functions. In particular, we have the following cartesian closed categories : BC-P, LAT-P, aL-P, aBC-P, B-P, aLAT-P, ω -B-P, ω -aLAT-P, etc.     

Delay‐dependent criteria on the global attractivity of Nicholson's blowflies model with patch structure

In this paper, we investigate the effect of delay on the asymptotic behavior of Nicholson's blowflies model with patch structure and multiple time‐varying delays. By using the fluctuation lemma and some differential inequality technique, delay‐dependent criteria are obtained for the global attractivity of the addressed system. Meanwhile, some numerical examples are given to illustrate the feasibility of the theoretical results. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The p-th moment stability of solutions to impulsive stochastic differential equations driven by G-Brownian motion

In this paper, we consider a class of impulsive stochastic differential equations driven by G-Brownian motion (IGSDEs in short). By means of the G-Lyapunov function method, some criteria on p-th moment stability and p-th moment asymptotical stability for the trivial solutions of IGSDEs are established. An example is presented to illustrate the efficiency of the obtained results.     

Solvability of finite groups

H is called an ? _p -embedded subgroup of G, if there exists a p-nilpotent subgroup B of G such that H _p ∈ Syl _p (B) and B is ? _p -supplemented in G. In this paper, by considering prime divisor 3, 5, or 7, we use ? _p -embedded property of primary subgroups to investigate the solvability of finite groups. The main result is follows. Let E be a normal subgroup of G, and let P be a Sylow 5-subgroup of E. Suppose that 1 < d ? |P| and d divides |P|. If every subgroup H of P with |H| = d is ?₅-embedded in G, then every composition factor of E satisfies one of the following conditions: (1) I/C is cyclic of order 5, (2) I/C is 5′-group, (3) I/C ? A₅.     

Combined separable signals based neuro-fuzzy Hammerstein–Wiener model

Hammerstein–Wiener model can describe a large number of complicated industrial processes. In this paper, a novel identification method for neuro-fuzzy based Hammerstein–Wiener model is presented. A neuro-fuzzy system with correlation analysis based non-iterative parameter updating algorithm is proposed to model the static nonlinearity of Hammerstein–Winer processes. As a result, the proposed method not only avoid the inevitable restrictions on static nonlinear function encountered by using the polynomial approach, but also overcomes the problems of initialization and convergence of the model parameters, which are usually resorted to trial and error procedure in the existing iterative algorithms used for the identification of Hammerstein–Winer model. In addition, combined separable signals are adopted to identify the Hammerstein–Wiener process, resulting in the identification problem of the linear model separated from that of nonlinear parts. Moreover, one part of the input signals is extended to more general signals, such as binary signals, Gaussian signals or other modulated signals. Examples are used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Determination of lanthanum and cerium in cmsx-4 nickel-based superalloys by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometryEI北大核心CSCD

CMSX-4 is the second-generation nickel-based single crystal superalloy used widely in the world. The oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance of CMSX-4 alloy can be improved by adding trace lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce) and other rare earth elements. A method for the simultaneous determination of La and Ce in CMSX-4 nickel-based superalloy by wet dissolution-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry was established. The sample was heated and dissolved under normal pressure by aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid, and the interference of fluorine ion was eliminated by using perchloric acid. The amount of dissolved acid and the digestion conditions were optimized. The limits of detection were 0.23 μg/g for La and 0.85 μg/g for Ce under optimized conditions. The spiked recoveries were 95.0%–98.9% with the relative standard deviations of 1.3%–3.9%, which can meet the requirements of accurate and rapid determination of La and Ce in CMSX-4 nickel-based superalloy. © 2023, Youke Publishing Co.,Ltd.

Ambient Preparation of Benzoxazine-based Phenolic Resins Enables Long-term Sustainable Photosynthesis of Hydrogen Peroxide

Rational design of polymer structures at the molecular level promotes the iteration of high-performance photocatalyst for sustainable photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) production from oxygen and water, which also lays the basis for revealing the reaction mechanism. Here we report a benzoxazine-based m-aminophenol-formaldehyde resin (APFac) polymerized at ambient conditions, exhibiting superior H₂O₂ yield and long-term stability to most polymeric photocatalysts. Benzoxazine structure was identified as the crucial photocatalytic active segment in APFac. Favorable adsorption of oxygen/intermediates on benzoxazine structure and commendable product selectivity accelerated the reaction kinetically in stepwise single-electron oxygen reduction reaction. The proposed benzoxazine-based phenolic resin provides the possibility of production in batches and industrial application, and sheds light on the de novo design and analysis of metal-free polymeric photocatalysts.
