Comparison of different methodologies for the computation of damped nonlinear normal modes and resonance prediction of systems with non-conservative nonlinearities

Nonlinear Dynamics - The nonlinear modes of a non-conservative nonlinear system are sometimes referred to as damped nonlinear normal modes (dNNMs). Because of the non-conservative...     

k-Hankel Gabor Transform and Its Applications to the Theory of Localization Operators

Analysis Mathematica - We introduce and study the k-Hankel Gabor transform. We investigate the localization operators for this transform. In particular, we study their trace class properties and we...     

Comments on Salem polynomials

Archiv der Mathematik - We strengthen a sufficient condition, due to R.S. Vieira, for a (reciprocal) polynomial $$R(x)=(x-\alpha _{1})(x-\alpha _{1}^{-1})\cdots (x-\alpha _{s})(x-\alpha...     

Correlation Between Foam Flow Structure in Porous Media and Surfactant Formulation Properties

Transport in Porous Media - The optimization of foam injection in porous media for enhanced oil recovery or soil remediation requires a large screening of surfactant formulations. Tests of foam...     

Theoretical Study of Endohedral Fullerenes M@C60 (M = Li,Na, or K) in Periodic Boundary Conditions

Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Physics - Density functional calculations in periodic boundary conditions (PBCs) were performed to investigate the structural and electronic properties of...     

Synthesis and biological evaluation of some new class of benzothiazole–pyrazole ligands containing arene ruthenium,rhodium and iridium complexes

Transition Metal Chemistry - Metal complexes 1–9 have been synthesized by reacting the benzothiazole–pyrazole derivative ligands (L1, L2 and L3) with the metal precursors of ruthenium...     

Synthesis of polyphosphodiesters by ring‐opening polymerization of cyclic phosphates bearing allyl phosphoester protecting groups

The allyl phosphoester group is shown to be a protecting group for the synthesis of anionic polyphosphodiesters. Our strategy relies on the synthesis of a cyclic phosphate monomer bearing a pendant allyl phosphoester group, its easy purification by fractional distillation, its organocatalyzed ring‐opening polymerization by 1,8‐diazobicyclo[5.4.0]undec‐7‐ene (DBU) and 1‐[3,5‐bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]‐3‐cyclohexyl‐thiourea (TU). Finally, the deprotection of the allyl phosphoester group is carried out by reaction with sodium benzenethiolate in the absence of any detectable degradation. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.
