C~l -G_V TRIVIALITY OF FUNCTION GERMS AND NEWTON POLYHEDRA

We provide estimates on the degree of C l GV determinacy ( G is one of Mather’s groups R or K ) of function germs which are defined on analytic variety V and satisfies a non-degeneracy condition with respect to some Newton polyhedron. The result gives an explicit order such that the C l geometrical structure of a function germ is preserved after higher order perturbations, which generalizes the result on C l G triviality of function germs given by M.A.S.Ruas.     

Synergistic effect between Sn and K promoters on supported platinum catalyst for isobutane dehydrogenation

Catalytic dehydrogenation of isobutane has recently received considerable attention because of the increasing demand for isobutene.In this study,the synergistic effect between Sn and K on PtSnK/γ-Al2O3 catalysts has been investigated by changing the content of Sn.It was found that with the presence of potassium,suitable addition of Sn could not only increase the metal dispersion,but also reduce the catalyst acidity.In these cases,the synergistic effect could also strengthen the interactions between the metal and support,which resulted in an increase in both catalytic activity and stability.In our experiments,Pt-0.6SnK/Al catalyst exhibited the lowest deactivation rate (12.4%) and showed a selectivity to isobutene higher than 94% at the isobutane conversion of about 45.3% after running the reaction for 6 h.However,with the excessive loading of Sn,surface property of active sites and the interactions between metal and support were changed.As a result,the initial optimal ratio between the metallic function and acid function would be destroyed,which was disadvantageous to the reaction.

Active TLCGD control of plane asymmetric buildings under earthquake excitation

The sealed,tuned liquid column gas damper (TLCGD) with gas-spring effect extends the frequency range of application and efficiently increases the modal structural damping.Active tuned liquid column gas damper (ATLCGD) is developed for the vibration control of plane asymmetric buildings subjected to earthquake excitation,improving the performance of the passive control scheme.The active behaviour is obtained by adjusting the pressure at the end of the liquid column using a pressurised reservoir.The classical linear quadratic regulator (LQR) design is presented as a straightforward approach to optimal control.Numerical simulations indicate a significant vibration reduction of plane asymmetric buildings by active control within the strong motion of the dynamic response.     

Understanding the endocrine disruption of chiral pesticides:The enantioselectivity in estrogenic activity of synthetic pyrethroids

Synthetic pyrethroids(SPs) ,a family of chiral insecticides consisting of multiple stereoismers,have been regarded as estrogenic endocrine-disrupting chemicals(EDCs) .In this study,we applied the yeast two-hybrid and molecular docking(MD) assay to assess the enantioselective estrogenic activities of three commonly used SPs,bifenthrin(cis-BF) ,permethrin(PM) and fenvalerate(Fen) .The β-galactosidase analyses indicated that all of the testing pyrethroids displayed significant(p<0.05) enantioselectivity.The re...     

Valence of elements in HgBa_2Ca_(n-1)Cu_nO_(2n+2+δ)(n=1, 2, 3, 4)

HgBa2Can-1CunO2n+2+( (n=1, 2, 3, 4) 1 are tetragonal with space group space P4/mmm. For n=1,2,3, nearly single-phase crystals were obtained, while for n=4, the sample was primarily a mixture of the n=3 and 4 phases. These materials also possessed the highest Tc values yet observed for any superconductors. In this paper, the valences of elements in the title compounds were calculated from bond valence sum method 2. The calculated bond covalency, valences of elements were summarized in Table …

Tripod molecules build molecular networks and open-dimer capsules by weak interactions

Three tripod molecules, tris(2-methoxy-5-nitrobenzyl)phosphine oxide (1), tris(2-butoxy-3-methyl-5-nitrobenzyl)phosphine oxide (2), and tris(3-nitrobenzyl)amine (TNBA), were synthesized and crystallized. The structures of 1, 2, and their comparison (TNBA) were determined by X-ray crystallography. It is noteworthy that compound 1 interacted with adjacent molecules via π-π stacking and C-H···π interactions to yield an open supramolecular network with the porosity P in 8.9%, whereas compound 2 gathered closely...     

The optimal upper bound of the number of generalized Euler configurations

Consider a generalized 3-body problem. The attraction force between any two bodies is proportional to the two masses and the b-th power of the mutual distance. Albouy and Fu have obtained the optimal upper bound of the number of generalized Euler configurations for the cases b 1 and b = 2, 3. This paper obtains the optimal upper bound for the remaining real values of b in a systematic way.
