Novel hydrogen-bonded three-dimensional network complexes containing cobalt-pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid

The novel complex, Co(H₂O)₅[Co(2,6-pydc)₂] (1) has been prepared in aqueous solution and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analyses and i.r. spectra. X-ray structural analysis revealed that three novel compounds each possess both – stacking and hydrogen-bonding interaction three-dimensional (3-D) networks.

Linear alkyl benzene sulphonate (LAS) degradation by immobilized Pseudomonas aeruginosa under low intensity ultrasound

We studied the LAS degradation of immobilized Pseudomonas aeruginosa with low-intensity ultrasonic and the influence of original LAS concentration, pH, rotary velocity and different conditions of low-intensity ultrasonic irradiation on the degradation of LAS. In our experiment, the degradation rate of LAS was the main index. We found that low-intensity ultrasonic irradiation could improve the metabolism of microorganism cells and promote the LAS biodegradation of immobilized cells. In the experiment, 50 mg/l LAS were used to simulate wastewater, and low-intensity ultrasonic was considered. We found the influence was obvious, and the optimal degradation rate was acquired when the conditions of ultrasonic were frequency 24 kHz, power 8 W, stimulation time 5 s, intermissive time 30 s, and total time 10 min. The LAS degradation rate of immobilized cells with ultrasonic were respectively 40% and 9.5% higher than that of the suspending cells and immobilized cells without irradiation.     

Multiplicity of Solutions of the Weighted p-Laplacian with Isolated Singularity and Diffusion Suppressed by Convection

In this paper, the authors study the multiplicity of solutions to the weighted p-Laplacian with isolated singularity and di?usion suppressed by convection ?div(|x|^α|?u|^p?2?u) + λ 1/|x|^β |?u|^p?2?u · x = |x|^γg(|x|) in B \ {0} subject to nonlinear Robin boundary value condition |x|^α|?u|^p?2?u · ?n = A ? ρu on ?B,where λ > 0, B ? R^N(N ≥ 2) is the unit ball centered at the origin, α > 0, p > 1, β ∈ R, γ > ?N, g ∈ C([0,1]) with g(0) > 0, A ∈ R, ρ > 0 and ?n is the unit outward normal. The same problem with di?usion promoted by convection, namely λ ≤ 0, has already been discussed by the last two authors (Song-Yin (2012)), where the existence, nonexistence and classi?cation of singularities for solutions are presented. Completely di?erent from [Song, H. J. and Yin, J. X., Removable isolated singularities of solutions to the weighted p-Laplacian with singular convection, Math. Meth. Appl. Sci., 35, 2012, 1089–1100], in the present case λ > 0, namely the di?usion is suppressed by the convection, non-singular solutions are not only existent but also may be in?nite which vary according only to the values of solutions at the isolated singular point. At the same time, the singular solutions may exist only if the di?usion dominates the convection.     

On the vanishing dissipation limit for the incompressible MHD equations on bounded domains

In this paper,we investigate the solvability,regularity and the vanishing dissipation limit of solutions to the three-dimensional viscous magnetohydrodynamic(MHD)equations in bounded domains.On the boundary,the velocity field fulfills a Navier-slip condition,while the magnetic field satisfies the insulating condition.It is shown that the initial boundary value problem has a global weak solution for a general smooth domain.More importantly,for a flat domain,we establish the uniform local well-posedness of the strong solution with higher-order uniform regularity and the asymptotic convergence with a rate to the solution of the ideal MHD equation as the dissipations tend to zero.     

Investigation of photoinduced electron transfer in model system of vitamin E-duroquinone by time-dependent density functional theory

Photoinduced electron transfer of the model system composed of vitamin E and duroquinone has been investigated using time-dependent density functional theory. Calculations for the excited states tell that the photoexcitation of the model system can directly yield the charge transfer states in which the vitamin E moiety is positively charged but the duroquinone moiety is negatively charged. Our theoretical investigations indicate that the second charge transfer state of the model system can also be produced through the decay of higher locally excited state S(4). Since S(4) state in the model system corresponds to S(1) state of the isolated duroquinone used as a model for peroxyl radical, and S(2) state has the character of electron transfer from the tertiary amine group of the vitamin E moiety to the duroquinone moiety, the decay from S(4) to S(2) corresponds to the dynamic process following the photoexcitation of the duroquinone moiety of the model system, i.e., the initial stage of antioxidant reaction of vitamin E. Calculations of the kinetic parameters for the electron transfer have been carried out in the framework of the Marcus-Jortner-Levich formalism. Our calculations confirm that the electron transfer from S(4) to S(2) possesses the character of the inverted regime and the barrier is negligibly small.
