Unsteady incompressible flow of magnetized aluminium oxide and titanium oxide nanoparticles with blood base fluid

In this investigation, a mixed convective nanoparticles fluid flow over an inclined plate is deliberated. The effects of slip boundary wall and magnetic field are also considered. The dimensionless governing system for the considered problem is attained by implementing recent definitions of fractional derivatives (FD). The generalized solution is obtained through the Laplace Transformation Scheme (LTS) for the momentum and thermal expressions. To improve the novelty and to demonstrate some more physical perception of the stated research work, some remarkable special cases of velocity distribution through CF and AB-fractional derivative concept are addressed, whose daily life implication is well known in the existing literature. Moreover, to evaluate the physical interest of the stated problem, the outcomes of the obtained system graphical illustrations are made by utilizing MATHEMATICA. As a result, we concluded that the aluminium oxide $A{l}_2{O}_3$ nanoparticles show more decaying behavior as compared to titanium oxide $Ti{O}_2$ nanoparticles for temperature and velocity profile. Furthermore, both fields i.e., momentum and thermal distributions are increased with the help of rising estimations parameter. Current results report novel applications in enhancement of heat transfer, thermal engineering, chemical processes, engineering and electronics devices, solar systems, extrusion processes, fission reactions etc.     

INVESTIGATION OF THE ALLOMERIZATION REACTION OF CHLOROPHYLL a: USE OF DIODE ARRAY HPLC, MASS SPECTROMETRY AND CHEMOMETRIC FACTOR ANALYSIS FOR THE DETECTION OF EARLY PRODUCTS

Abstract –The products of chlorophyll allomerization in methanol were isolated and analyzed by open column sucrose chromatography, liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LCMS) and DAD-HPLC (diode-array high-performance liquid chromatography). Four main bands were found with molecular ions of (a) 908, (b) 938, (c) 938 and (d) 938, consistent with the structures (a) 13²-hydroxy-chlorophyll a (II), (b) and (c) Mg(II)-3¹,3²-didehydro-15¹-hydroxy-15¹-methoxy-rhodochlorin-15 acetic acid δ-lactone 15²-methyl 17³-phytyl ester and its epimer (III) and (d) Mg(II)-3¹,3²-didehydro-rhodochlorin-15-glyoxylic acid 13¹,15²-dimethyl 17³-phytyl ester (IV), evidence enhanced by UV/visible spectroscopy, chromatographic coelutions and chemometrics. Chlorophyll a was degraded both in the dark and light, under O₂ and N². DAD-HPLC of the resultant degradation mixtures were analyzed using the chemometric heuristic-evolving latent projection method for resolution. Ultraviolet/visible spectra of II and III are reproducibly extracted from the mixtures after a short degradation time, whereas III and IV are the dominant compounds after longer degradation times. Changes in relative elution order of IV using open column chromatography and reverse-phase HPLC are established. A possible allomerization pathway is proposed.     

Synergic effect of triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO) on the extraction of Hg(II), Se(IV), Co(II) and Mn(II) with fluorinated pyrazolone (HPMTFP)

Extraction of Hg(II), Se(IV), Mn(II) and Co(II) has been carried out with 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-trifluoroacetyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one (HPMTFP) and triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO) into chloroform from pH 1–10. Quantitative extraction of Hg(II), Mn(II) and Co(II) at pH 4 with equimolar 0.05M (PMTFP+TPPO) in chloroform was observed. Se(IV) remains unextracted at this pH range. The stoichiometric composition of the extracted complexes M(PMTFP)₂·nH₂O (M=Mn, Hg), M(PMTFP)₂·2TPPO (M=Mn and Co) and Co(PMTFP)₂·TPPO·H₂O at less than 0.1M TPPO has been established. The formation constantsK _m,0 andK _m,n and stability constants _m,n have been computed. The analytical method developed was applied to the IAEA standard reference material (SRM) potato fluor V-4 for the determination of these elements using NAA technique.

A sensitive spectrophotometric procedure for the determination of the metal ions La(III), Ce(III), and Y(III) has been proposed.

Enantioselective total syntheses of manzamine a and related alkaloids

As a prelude to undertaking the total syntheses of the complex manzamine alkaloids, a series of model studies were conducted to establish the scope and limitations of intramolecular [4 + 2] cycloadditions of N-acylated vinylogous ureas with the trienic substrates 17a,b, 28a,b, and 34. These experiments clearly demonstrated that the geometry of the internal double bond and the presence of an electron-withdrawing group on the diene moiety were essential for the facile and stereoselective formation of the desired cycloadducts. The enantioselective syntheses of the manzamine alkaloids ircinol A (75), ircinal A (5), and manzamine A (1) were then completed by employing a convergent strategy that featured a novel domino Stille/Diels-Alder reaction to construct the tricyclic ABC ring core embodied in these alkaloids. Thus, the readily accessible chiral dihydropyrrole 58 was first converted in a single chemical operation into the key tricyclic intermediate 60. Two ring-closing metathesis reactions were then used to form the 13- and 8-membered rings leading to Z-72 and 74, the latter of which was quickly elaborated into ircinal A (5) via ircinol A (75). The synthetic 5 thus obtained was converted into manzamine A (1) following literature precedent. This concise synthesis of ircinal A required a total of 24 operations from commercially available starting materials with the longest linear sequence being 21 steps.     

Simultaneous Kinetic‐Spectrophotometric Determination of Hydrazine and its Derivatives by Partial Least Squares and Principle Component Regression Methods

Simultaneous kinetic‐spectrophotometric determination of a ternary mixture of hydrazine (HZ) and its derivatives by principal component regression (PCR) and partial least squares (PLS) calibration is described. The methods were based on the difference observed in the reduction rate of iron(III) with HZ, thiosemicarbazide (TSCZ) and phenylhydrazine (PHZ) in the presence of 2,2′‐bipyridine (Bpy). The colored complex of [Fe(Bpy)₃]²⁺ was formed in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as micellar media, and then monitored at 520 nm. The results showed that simultaneous determination of HZ, TSCZ and PHZ could be performed in their concentration ranges of 1.0–70.0, 0.2–6.0 and 0.1–10.0 μg mL^?1, respectively. The root mean squares errors of prediction (RMSEP) of HZ, TSCZ and PHZ were 0.719, 0.164 and 0.105 (for PLS) 0.788, 0.166 and 0.993 (for PCR), respectively. Both methods (PCR and PLS) were validated using a set of synthetic sample mixtures and then applied for simultaneous determination of HZ, TSCZ and PHZ in water samples.     

Synthesis and sorption behavior of semicrystalline sodium titanate as a new cation exchanger

A new form of semicrystalline sodium titanate was synthesized at high temperature (1100-1150 °C) by a reaction of TiO₂ with Na₂CO₃ in an equimolar ratio. The obtained product was characterized using IR, DTA-TG, X-ray diffraction and elemental analyses. According to X-ray patterns, H₂Ti₅O₁₁ ^. nH₂O with monoclinic structure has been formed on dehydration of semicrystalline sodium titanate. Kinetic studies of the order and activation energy of a new phase transformation have been determined from DTA-thermograms. The ion exchange behavior of semicrystalline sodium titanate was studied at different g-doses as well as at different drying temperatures. The laboratory-scale ion exchange capacity, distribution studies and exchange performance for some radionuclides of a thermally prepared material were investigated. It was found that the exchange capacity was not changed after 100 kGy irradiation. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Kinetic studies on the bromate ion oxidation of 12-tungstocobaltate(II) in aqueous acid

The oxidation of Co^IIW by bromine(V) is a complex process involving an induction period. The reaction was found to be first-order in both [Co^IIW] and [Br^v], and exhibits a complex dependence on [H⁺]. These observations were successfully explained by considering HBrO₂, one of the intermediates formed in the direct but slow reaction between Co^IIW and bromine(V), as the reacting species. The first-order limiting dependence in [H⁺] was due to the involvement of a protic equilibrium of HBrO₂. The induction period appears due to the scavenging effect of Br^– inadvertently present in the medium. It appears to be the first report where HBrO₂ was found to be the reacting intermediate in the oxidation of metal ions and complexes by BrO^– ₃.
