5‐Amino‐4‐methyl‐2‐phenyl‐6‐substitutedfuro[2,3‐d]pyrimidines ( 2a‐c ) were reacted with 2,5‐dimethoxytetrahydrfuran to afford the pyrrolyl derivatives 3a‐c . Compound 3a was chosen as intermediate for the synthesis of poly fused heterocycles incorporated furopyrimidines moiety 4–11 . Some of the synthesized compounds were screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activities.     

Finite element method in the solution of the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations for internal flow

Finite element solutions of the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations are presented, using a simple dissipation model. The discretization is based on the weak-Galerkin weighted residual method and equal interpolation functions for all the unknowns are permitted. The nonlinearity is iterated upon using a Newton method and at each iteration the linear algebraic system is solved by a direct solver with all unknowns fully coupled. Results are presented for two-dimensional transonic inviscid flows and two- and three-dimensional incompressible viscous flows. Convergence of the algorithm is shown to be quadratic, reaching machine accuracy in very few iterations. The inviscid results demonstrate the existence of nonunique numerical solutions to the steady Euler equations.     

Quantitative determination of americium in biological materials

A simple, economic and specific radiochemical method for the determination of americium in urine and other biological materials is given. The urine sample is heated in nitric acid to break down any organic complexes of actinides. Insoluble phosphates are precipitated and changed to carbonates. The carbonate solution is passed through a diglycol succinate column and americium is eluted by hydrochloric acid. The eluate is evaporated to prepare a source for counting. The proposed procedure produces high overall yield and the sensitivity of the method is about 0.74 mBq (0.02 pCi). Determination of americium in the presence of other -emitters in urine is also given.     

Highly accurate vibration–rotation Franck–Condon factors for high levels

Highly accurate vibration–rotation Franck–Condon factors q^ab, for a transition between two diatomic electronic states (a) and (b), are sought. When the potentials of states (a) and (b) are of the RKR type, the computation of q^ab is reduced to that of Franck–Condon integral ?^ab(i) = ∫ ψ^a(r)ψ^b(r) dr in an interval r_i, r_i+1. By using convenient interpolations for the potentials U^a and U^b in the considered interval, this integral becomes ?^ab(i) = ∑ δ (r_i+1 – r_i)ⁿ⁺¹/(n + 1), where the “coupling constants” δ depend uniquely on the eigenvalues E^a and E^b of the considered transition and on the potentials U^a and U^b (the number N of terms depends on the desired accuracy). The method used computes the Franck–Condon factors q^ab without the explicit use of the wave function and by replacing the integrals by simple summations. To test the values of q^ab obtained by this method, the orthogonality rule ∫ ψ_v′ψ_v″ dr = 0 (for v′ ≠ v″) is used for one state or the other. This test, along with other tests, show that the Franck–Condon factors computed by the present method are accurate to nine significant figures for high and low levels.

The extraction of hydrochloric, nitric, and sulphuric acids with TBP was studied as a function of methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, and acetone concentration in the aqueous phase. Extraction increases in the order: methanol相似文献   

Radiolysis of aqueous solutions of cobalt(II) and cobalt(III)

Radiolysis of aqueous solution of di and trivalent cobalt with 1:2 (bis) carboxymethylaminodiethyltetraacetic acid (EGTA) was investigated, both in absence and in presence of oxygen. A radiolytic mechanism has been proposed. It has been shown that the degradation at the ligand of the chelate is due to OH only.     

Spectrophotometric and titrimetric determination of gallium in minerals and ores using semimethylthymol blue

The composition, overall stability constant and molar absorptivity of the chelate of gallium(III) ion with semimethylthymol blue, SMTB, were determined spectrophotometrically in acetate buffer (pH 4.5–5). A violet Ga(SMTB) chelate was formed with logarithmic overall stability constant of 18.0±0.1 (I=0.1) and molar absorptivity of 4.25×10⁴l mol^–1cm^–1 (_max 580 nm). SMTB is proposed as a new reagent for the spectrophotometric determination of micro-molar amounts of gallium(III). The colour development depends on time, temperature, pH and buffer species. The interference of different cations, anions and organic acids on gallium(III) determination was also investigated. Beer's law was obeyed for 3.5–31.3 gGa(III)/25ml (0.14–1.25 g ml^–1). SMTB was used for the spectrophotometric determination of gallium in different grade minerals and ores and the results were of acceptable error and relative standard deviation. Comparison between the two suggested methods and atomic absorption spectrometry for Ga(III) determination was carried out.     

Selective Solid Phase Extraction and Pre-Concentration of Heavy Metals from Seawater by Physically and Chemically Immobilized 4-Amino-3-Hydroxy-2-(2-Chlorobenzene)-Azo-1-Naphthalene Sulfonic Acid Silica Gel

4-Amino-3-hydroxy-2-(2-chlorobenzene)-azo-1-naphthalene sulfonic acid (AHCANSA) was used as a chelating modifier to improve the reactivity of the silica gel surface in terms of selective binding and extraction of heavy metal ions. The surface coverage values were found to be 0.488 and 0.473mmolg^–1 for the newly modified physically adsorbed silica gel phase (I) and chemically immobilized-AHCANSA phase (II), respectively. The modified silica gel phases (I, II) were tested for stability in different acidic buffer solutions (pH 1–6) and found to be highly resistant to hydrolysis and leaching by buffer solutions above pH 2. The application of these two phases as solid extractors for a series of mono-, di-, and tri-valent metal ions from aqueous solutions was also performed with different controlling factors such as the pH value of metal ion solutions and equilibrium shaking time. The mmolg^–1 metal capacity values determined by silica gel phases (I, II) were found to confirm high affinity and selectivity characters for binding with heavy metal ions such as Cr³⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺ and Pb²⁺ in a range of 0.250–0.483. The tested alkali and alkaline earth metals, Na⁺, K⁺, Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺, were found to exhibit little interaction and binding ability with the modified silica gel phases. The selectivity characters incorporated into the modified silica gel phases were further utilized and applied in solid phase extraction and pre-concentration of trace concentration levels (1.0µgmL^–1 and 2.00–2.50ngmL^–1) from real seawater samples. The percentage recovery values determined for Cr³⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺ and Pb²⁺ were found to be in the range of 95.2–98.1±2.0–5.0%, and the pre-concentration recovery values for the same tested heavy metal ions were found to be in the range of 92.5–97.1±3.0–6.0% for the two newly modified silica gel phases with a pre-concentration factor of 500.Received December 20, 2002; accepted May 14, 2003 published online September 1, 2003
