Incompatible reaction evaluation and accident investigation of various acids in chemical industries

This article covers the incompatible properties of nitric acid (HNO₃) with formic acid (CH₂O₂), and more generally with various acids such as sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄), hydrochloric acid (HCl), and acetic acid (C₂H₄O₂). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was employed to determine the thermal hazard such as heat of decomposition (ΔH _d), exothermic onset temperature (T ₀), etc., in various acids. T ₀ of HNO₃ and CH₂O₂ were determined as 50 °C using DSC. Thus it has been observed that HNO₃ mixed with CH₂O₂ should be prohibited during transportation, storage, and use. And more generally, process safety engineers and operator must take care to handle tanker and storage tank of typical acids in the transportation, storage, and manufacturing process. It is clear that there exists a need to follow and enforce in the chemical industries safety data sheets, globally harmonized system of classification and labeling of chemicals of United Nations (UN), education of safety and health, emergency response system, and process safety management. It is the aim of the present study concerning HNO₃ with various acids.

Chemical and physical characteristics of self-fabricated radiophotoluminescent glass dosimeter

Thermoluminescent dosimeters are widely applied in the measurement of radiation dose. Since the luminescent centers are not lost during the reading process, radiophotoluminescent glass dosimeters (RPLGDs) can be repeatedly readout. The aims of this study were to make RPLGD and to analyze its physical and chemical properties. This study used chemical compounds such as Na₃PO₄, AlPO₄, AgCl, AgNO₃, B₂O₃, H₃PO₄ and P₂O₅ as the main ingredients. Depending on the self-fabricated glass compounds, the melting temperatures were between 1100 and 1500 °C. When the 0.1 mol% of silver was added, the radiation detection of self-fabricated RPLGD reached to the highest sensitivity. However, when silver concentration was larger than 0.1 mol%, the radiation detection sensitivity plummets rapidly. Excess amounts of silver and aluminum decreased the penetrate capability of ultraviolet spectrum. Based on our study, we found that chemical compound concentrations and melting process, which all affect radiation sensitivity and stability of self-fabricated RPLGD.     

Analytical solutions in the problem of the optimal control of the rotation of an axisymmetric body

The problem of the optimal control of the rotation of an axisymmetric rigid body is investigated. An integral functional, characterizing the power consumption to carry out a manoeuvre is chosen as the criterion, and the boundary conditions for the angular velocity vector are arbitrary. The principal moment of the applied external forces serves as the control. The necessary conditions of the maximum principle are used to solve the problem in the case of a fixed completion time. New non-trivial first integrals are established for the canonical system of direct and conjugate differential equations obtained, which enable the set of all extremals to be parametrized. Hence, the optimal-control problem is reduced to a problem of non-linear mathematical programming. It is shown that there cannot be more than two different solutions in the latter, and a family of boundary conditions is established when the optimum rotation is determined in a uniquely explicit form.     

Optimal purchase of two-itemized drugs for a disease

This paper submits a mathematical model called the two-itemized drugs purchasing decision (TDPD) model to conduct the optimal purchase of two-itemized drugs for healing a given disease. This TDPD model considers not only the annual estimated number of patients suffering from the given disease, the treatment courses, and the unit profit of each drug, but also the strength of the patient's perception on treatment quality, the different purchasing price of each drug with quantity discounts, the ordering cost, the holding cost, and other related costs to determine the optimal order quantity of each drug for achieving the maximum profit. A computerized solving program proposed in this paper applies tabu search technique as the main program and the all-units quantity discounts for economic order quantity as the sub-program to solve such a combinatorial problem, as well as perform sensitivity analyses on the changes by the strength of the patient's perception on treatment quality and the changes of annual estimated number of patients for the given disease. Two drugs, Lipitor and Gemnpid, to heal a disease ‘Hyperlipidaemia’ are considered as a case example in this study. This paper contributes a prototype quantitative method of purchasing decision for a given disease to a decision-maker with profound insights.     

一个定义在任意三角网格上的五次GC′插值格式

A kind of GC′ surface constructing scheme on arbitrary triangular mesh is presented. The surface formed by this scheme can pass the given position vectors and take the given planes as its tangent planes at the vertices of the triangular mesh. Triangular mesh referred here is a set of space triangles and their faces such that the intersection of any two edges in this set is a vertex or an empty set.     

Detection of antinuclear antibodies by a colloidal gold modified optical fiber: comparison with ELISA

A fiberoptic evanescent-wave sensor has been developed for the measurement of antinuclear antibodies in sera from patients and healthy individuals. The sensor was constructed on the basis of modification of the unclad portion of an optical fiber with self-assembled gold colloids, where the colloidal gold surface was further functionalized with extractable nuclear antigens. Results show that detection of antinuclear antibodies by this sensor agrees quantitatively with the clinically accepted enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. This sensing platform has the following advantages: label-free and real-time detection capability, simple to construct and use, highly sensitive, and does not require a secondary antibody. The sensitivity of this platform is at least an order of magnitude higher than that of the ELISA method and thus may lead to a new direction in recognition of immune response. Biomolecular binding of antinuclear antibodies (ANA) with extractable nuclear antigens (ENA)-functionalized gold nanoparticles results in a change of surface plasmon absorption. When light propagates in an optical fiber by multiple total internal reflection, such a change in signal can be significantly enhanced.
