Surfactant-based dispersant for multiwall carbon nanotubes to prepare ceramic composites by a sol-gel method

A dispersant for multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) is proposed that fulfils the requirements of creating a uniform dispersion in the matrix and obtaining a good interface between CNTs and the matrix, and is soluble in generic nonpolar solvents. This dispersant is based on a long chain surfactant, called in this work dabcosil stearate, containing a stearate-based 18-carbon alkyl chain as an anion, and a silsesquioxane containing a bridged, positively charged 1,4-diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane group. It provides not only a very good dispersion medium for the MWCNTs, but also a very good interface between MWCNTs and ceramic matrices, such as alumina and zirconia, prepared by the sol-gel method.     

Rare earth elements,thorium and uranium in ores of the North-Latium (Italy)

In geochemistry, the distribution of the Rare Earth Elements (REEs) in earth crust and mantle allows to understand geochemical cycles and origin and age of igneous rocks. In this article REEs (Ce, Dy, Eu, La, Nd, Sm, Tb, and Yb), Th and U in ores of the North-Latium (Bracciano area, Ceriti Mt., Fate Mt., Sabatini Mt., Vulsini Mt., Acqua Rossa basin), have been investigated for evaluating the extraction feasibility for industrial applications. 107 samples were irradiated in the rotating rack of the TRIGA Mark II reactor of the R.C. Casaccia (ENEA) at neutron flux of 2.6 × 10¹² n × cm⁻² × s⁻¹ for 12 h together with primary and secondary standards. The gamma spectrometry measurements were performed after 8 h, 3 and 30 days of decay by means of HPGe detector (FWHM 1.75 keV at 1332.5 keV, peak/Compton ratio 55.1, relative efficiency of 22%) connected to a multi-channel analyzer. The total REE mean content is 105 μg g⁻¹, ranging widely between 2.23 and 410.5 μg g⁻¹ (average coefficient of variation 112%). A similar behavior is found for Th and U: their average levels are 13.5 and 6.0 μg g⁻¹, respectively. A quite good correlation between REEs and Th (and U) is found for Ceriti Mt. (r ² > 0.8) whereas for the other areas the correlation is <0.7. The results obtained evidence the low U content in the investigated locations.

Heuristics for Distribution Network Design in Telecommunication

A distribution network problem arises in a lower level of an hierarchical modeling approach for telecommunication network planning. This paper describes a model and proposes a lagrangian heuristic for designing a distribution network. Our model is a complex extension of a capacitated single commodity network design problem. We are given a network containing a set of sources with maximum available supply, a set of sinks with required demands, and a set of transshipment points. We need to install adequate capacities on the arcs to route the required flow to each sink, that may be an intermediate or a terminal node of an arborescence. Capacity can only be installed in discrete levels, i.e., cables are available only in certain standard capacities. Economies of scale induce the use of a unique higher capacity cable instead of an equivalent set of lower capacity cables to cover the flow requirements of any link. A path from a source to a terminal node requires a lower flow in the measure that we are closer to the terminal node, since many nodes in the path may be intermediate sinks. On the other hand, the reduction of cable capacity levels across any path is inhibited by splicing costs. The objective is to minimize the total cost of the network, given by the sum of the arc capacity (cables) costs plus the splicing costs along the nodes. In addition to the limited supply and the node demand requirements, the model incorporates constraints on the number of cables installed on each edge and the maximum number of splices at each node. The model is a NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem because it is an extension of the Steiner problem in graphs. Moreover, the discrete levels of cable capacity and the need to consider splicing costs increase the complexity of the problem. We include some computational results of the lagrangian heuristics that works well in the practice of computer aided distribution network design.

Di­bromo{N-[2-(di­phenyl­phosphino)­benzyl­idene]-2,6-diiso­propyl­aniline-κ2N,P}nickel

In the title compound, [NiBr₂(C₃₁H₃₂NP)], (I), the second reported example of a nickel–imino­phosphine N,P-chelate in which the Ni atom has tetrahedral coordination, the Ni coordination is distorted as a consequence of the N—Ni—P chelate bite angle of 91.07 (6)° compensated by the Br—­Ni—­Br angle of 126.385 (18)°. In (I) and its analogue, viz. dichloro{[2-(4-isobutyloxazol-2-yl)phenyl]diphenylphos­phine-N,P}nickel(II), the Ni—N and Ni—P distances are greater and the N—Ni—P ligand bite angles smaller than those observed in a series of related complexes with square-planar nickel.
