CuO-promoted construction of N-2-aryl-substituted-1,2,3-triazoles via azide-chalcone oxidative cycloaddition and post-triazole arylation

An efficient one-pot three-component stepwise approach for the synthesis of N-2-aryl-substituted-1,2,3-triazoles has been developed. By using this azide-chalcone oxidative cycloaddition and post-triazole arylation, a series of N-2-aryl-substituted-1,2,3-triazoles are readily prepared under mild conditions in excellent yields and high regioselectivity. Both the catalyst and substrates are readily available.     

Enhancement of optical properties and donor-related emissions in Y-doped ZnO

The Zn_1−xY_xO nanoparticles with good optical properties have been prepared by sol–gel method. The yttrium doping effect on the structures and optical properties were investigated by XRD, SEM, XPS and low temperature photoluminescence. The UV emission intensity of yttrium doped ZnO was over 300 times stronger than that of pure ZnO, which was an exciting result in enhancing the ultraviolet near band edge emission in photoluminescence from ZnO nanoparticles. The UV emission band of doped ZnO nanoparticles exhibits a red shift from 388 to 398 nm, indicating a shallow energy level near valence band has been formed due to the yttrium doping into ZnO lattices. The defect-related band is suppressed (I_D/I_UV = 1–0.83) considerably in Zn_1−xY_xO nanoparticles, revealing the quenching of the broad yellow-orange emission. The doping effect on the optical properties is investigated by temperature dependent photoluminescence. The experimental results indicated that the donor level of yttrium is deeper than that of undoped ZnO.     

Edge covering coloring of nearly bipartite graphs

LetG be a simple graph with vertex setV(G) and edge setE(G). A subsetS ofE(G) is called an edge cover ofG if the subgraph induced byS is a spanning subgraph ofG. The maximum number of edge covers which form a partition ofE(G) is called edge covering chromatic number ofG, denoted by χ′_c(G). It known that for any graphG with minimum degreeδ,δ -1 ≤χ′_c(G) ≤δ. If χ′_c(G) =δ, thenG is called a graph of CI class, otherwiseG is called a graph of CII class. It is easy to prove that the problem of deciding whether a given graph is of CI class or CII class is NP-complete. In this paper, we consider the classification of nearly bipartite graph and give some sufficient conditions for a nearly bipartite graph to be of CI class.     

Monomial geometric programming with fuzzy relation equation constraints

Monomials are widely used. They are basic structural units of geometric programming. In the process of optimization, many objective functions can be denoted by monomials. We can often see them in resource allocation and structure optimization and technology management, etc. Fuzzy relation equations are important elements of fuzzy mathematics, and they have recently been widely applied in fuzzy comprehensive evaluation and cybernetics. In view of the importance of monomial functions and fuzzy relation equations, we present a fuzzy relation geometric programming model with a monomial objective function subject to the fuzzy relation equation constraints, and develop an algorithm to find an optimal solution based on the structure of the solution set of fuzzy relation equations. Two numerical examples are given to verify the developed algorithm. Our numerical results show that the algorithm is feasible and effective.     

Thermal kinetics study of light oil oxidation using TG/DTG techniques

In this study, the oxidation behavior of crude oils in the presence and absence of rock cuttings was investigated by thermogravimetry/derivative thermogravimetry (TG/DTG) techniques. Prior to these tests, the composition of cuttings and properties of crude oils were analyzed. Three obvious reaction regions were observed from the TG/DTG curves which are recognized as low-temperature oxidation (LTO), fuel deposition (FD), and high-temperature oxidation. The effects of light components (C_7–15), heavy fractions (asphaltene, paraffin, resin), and cutting on oil oxidation behavior were analyzed. Kinetic analysis of crude oils and oil + cutting mixtures was performed by Arrhenius method, and the data were analyzed at last. Results show that high content C_7–15 hydrocarbons can provide negative effect on the LTO behavior of crude oil. On the contrary, the high content unsaturated heavy hydrocarbons including asphaltene, paraffin, and resin are benefit for the oxidation performance. In addition, a shortened FD stage and higher peak temperature in LTO region are observed by addition of cutting. Cutting especially clay in it plays an active role of catalyzing in oil oxidation reaction.
