Second harmonic generation from corona-poled polymer thin films of Y-shape chromophore with different isolation groups

We characterize thermal stability fof second harmonic generation (SHG) properties of four different Y-type polymers poled using corona poling method. These polymers are based on donor–acceptor–donor-type repeating unit with different aromatic moieties acting as donors and dicyanomethylene acting as an acceptor through conjugated bridge. The donor varies from different substituted benzene to phenothiazine. Polymer containing phenothiazine as donor showed higher SHG intensity and high temperature stability due to rigid repeating unit of phenothiazine compared to others with benzene in the main chain.     

SOLVING A CROP PROBLEM BY AN OPTIMAL CONTROL METHOD

ABSTRACT. A system of ordinary differential equations coupled with a parabolic partial differential equation is studied in order to understand an interaction between two crops and a pathogen. Two different types of crops are planted in same field in some pattern so that the spread of pathogen can be controlled. The pathogen prefers to eat one crop. The other crop, which is not preferred by the pathogen, is introduced to control the spread of pathogen in the farming land. The “optimal” initial planting pattern is sought to maximize plant yields while minimizing the variation in the planting pattern. The optimal pattern is characterized by a variation inequality involving the solutions of the optimality system. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the results.     

Numerical Solvability of Hammerstein Integral Equations of Mixed Type

We consider a mixed Hammerstein integral equation of the form where –<a<b<, y, f_i and k_i, (1im) are known functionsand x is a solution to be determined. In this paper, we obtainexistence, uniqueness, and numerical solvability of (I) undercertain smoothness assumptions on the known functions y, f_iand k_i.     

咪唑配合物[Co(C3H4N2)6](PhCHCHCOO)2的合成及晶体结构

The complex [Co(Im)6](Cin)2 (Im=imidazole,Cin=cinnamate) was prepared by reaction of Co(PhCHCHCOO)2 with imidazole in ethanol. It has been determined by single crystal X-ray analyses. The crystals are triclinic, space group P, with a=9.7601(3),b=10.5935(3),c=11.3269(2)(A),α =69.948(1),β =71.027(1),γ =62.803(1)°, and Z=1. The crystal structure of the title complex consists of monomeric [Co(Im)6]2+ cations and cinnamate anions in which the cobalt(Ⅱ) ion assumes a centrosymmetric octahedral geometry with the CoN6 chromophore. In the solid state, the complex forms a three dimensional network through N-H… O hydrogen bonds, the intermolecular hydrogen bonds connect the [Co(Im)6]2+ cations and cinnamate anions.The cinnamate anions are nearly planar.     

Thermoelastic properties of minerals at high temperature

The knowledge of elasticity of the minerals is useful for interpreting the structure and composition of the lower mantle and also in seismic studies. The purpose of the present study is to discuss a simple and straightforward method for evaluating thermoelastic properties of minerals at high temperatures. We have extended the Kumar’s formulation by taking into the account the concept of anharmonicity in minerals above the Debye temperature (θ _D). In our present study, we have investigated the thermophysical properties of two minerals (pyrope-rich garnet and MgAl₂O₄) under high temperatures and calculated the second-order elastic constant (C _ij ) and bulk modulus (K _T) of the above minerals, in two cases first by taking Anderson–Gruneisen parameter (δ _T) as temperature-independent and then by treating δ _T as temperature-dependent parameter. The results obtained when δ _T is temperature-dependent are in close agreement with experimental data.     

Numerical simulation of immiscible liquid-liquid flow in microchannels using lattice Boltzmann method

Immiscible kerosene-water two-phase flows in microchannels connected by a T-junction were numerically studied by a Lattice Boltzmann (LB) method based on field mediators.The two-phase flow lattice Boltzmann model was first validated and improved by several test cases of a still droplet.The five distinct flow regimes of the kerosene-water system,previously identified in the experiments from Zhao et al.,were reproduced.The quantitative and qualitative agreement between the simulations and the experimental dat...     

TiO2担载镍催化剂上硝基苯液相加氢（英文）

The catalytic hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to aniline employing nickel impregnated on rutile,anatase,and high surface area titania supports has been investigated.The nickel is present in elemental state as fcc phase on the catalyst as evidenced by X-ray diffraction results.The Ni crystallite size was found to be greater for Ni/anatase.The temperature-programmed reduction results suggest a greater metal-support interaction for Ni/rutile.The observed order of catalytic activity for the hydrogenation of nitrobenzene is Ni/rutile > Ni/anatase > Ni/TiO2.A conversion of 99% was observed for Ni/rutile at 140 oC and hydrogen pressure of 1.96 MPa.Interestingly,aniline is the only product formed which demonstrates the catalytic hydrogenation of nitrobenzene proceeds with atom economy.Both Ni/rutile and Ni/anatase exhibited a better stability than Ni/TiO2.The hydrogenation proceeds with the preferential adsorption of hydrogen on nickel present in the catalyst surface,possibly assisted by TiOx species.     

Dielectric relaxation and hydrogen bonding studies of 1,3-propanediol–dioxane mixtures using time domain reflectometry technique

The complex permittivity, static dielectric constant and relaxation time for 1,3-propanediol, 1,4-dioxane and their mixtures have been studied using time domain reflectometry (TDR). The excess permittivity, excess inverse relaxation time and Kirkwood correlation factor have also been determined at various concentrations of dioxane. Hydrogen bonded theory was applied to compute the correlation terms for the mixtures. The Bruggeman model for the nonlinear case has been fitted to the dielectric data for mixtures.
