Synthesis of Symmetric Bridged Bis-Pyrazolone Based Metal Complex Acid Dyes and their Applications on Leather

Our present investigation aims at the synthesis and application of new, symmetric bridged bis-pyrazolone based acid dyes. The bis-pyrazolone compounds were accomplished from bis- hydrazine of 4,4′-Diaminostilbene-2,2′-disulfonic acid and ethyl acetoacetate. The bis-pyrazolones have been coupled with diazonium salts of o-hydroxyl aromatic amines which resulted in ligand dyes. The intermediate ligand dyes were treated with 3d transition metals to achieve the targeted metal complex acid dyes. The structures of investigated compounds were confirmed with the help of spectroscopic techniques. Dyes were applied on leather and their application parameters including their light fastness, wash fastness and rubbing fastness were determined.

Performances of dynamic vibration absorbers for beams subjected to moving loads

The goal of this work is a general assessment regarding the performances of linear and nonlinear dynamic vibration absorbers (DVAs) applied to the specific problem of moving loads or vehicles. The problem consists of a simply supported linear Euler–Bernoulli beam excited with a moving load/vehicle; a DVA is connected to the beam in order to reduce the vibrations. The moving vehicle is modeled by a single degree of freedom mass spring system. The partial differential equations governing the beam dynamics is reduced to a set of ordinary differential equations by means of the Bubnov–Galerkin method. A parametric analysis is carried out to find the optimal parameters of the DVA that minimize the maximum vibration amplitude of the beam. For the case of a moving vehicle, the energy absorbed by the DVA is evaluated. Comparisons among the performances of different types of linear and DVAs are carried out. The goal is to clarify if the use of nonlinearities in the DVAs can effectively improve their performances. The study shows that the most effective type of DVA for the test cases considered is the piecewise linear elastic restoring force.

Investigation of photocatalytic chlorpyrifos degradation by a new silica mesoporous material immobilized by WS2 and Fe3O4 nanoparticles: Application of response surface methodology

In the present research, Fe₃O₄ and WS₂ nanoparticles immobilized on or in KIT-6 (KIT: Korea Institute of Science and Technology) pores (KIT-6/WS₂-Fe₃O₄) were synthesized and studied as a photocatalyst for degradation of representative chlorpyrifos as an organophosphorus pesticide. In addition, the KIT-6/WS₂-Fe₃O₄ photocatalyst was characterized by different methods such as TEM, FESEM-EDS-Mapping, XRD, and N₂ adsorption/desorption surface area, in order to understand their morphology, structural, and physical properties. The photocatalytic performance of this photocatalyst was investigated for degradation of chlorpyrifos by visible light irritation. The effects of variables such as chlorpyrifos concentration, KIT-6/WS₂-Fe₃O₄ nanocatalyst amount, pH, and irradiation time on chlorpyrifos degradation efficiency was studied by central composite design with response surface methodology. The optimum conditions for CP degradation were obtained by 50 mg KIT-6/WS₂-Fe₃O₄ nanocatalyst, and 7.2 ppm chlorpyrifos solution with pH = 6, at 52 min. The pseudo-first-order model with rate constants equal to 0.069 min⁻¹ as best choice efficiency described the chlorpyrifos degradation process according to Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetic.

Nilpotent and invertible values in semiprime rings with generalized derivations

Let R be a semiprime ring and F be a generalized derivation of R and n??? 1 a fixed integer. In this paper we prove the following: (1) If (F(xy) ? yx) ⁿ is either zero or invertible for all ${x,y\in R}$ , then there exists a division ring D such that either R?=?D or R?=?M ₂(D), the 2?× 2 matrix ring. (2) If R is a prime ring and I is a nonzero right ideal of R such that (F(xy) ? yx) ⁿ ?=?0 for all ${x,y \in I}$ , then [I, I]I?=?0, F(x)?=?ax?+?xb for ${a,b\in R}$ and there exist ${\alpha, \beta \in C}$ , the extended centroid of R, such that (a ? ??)I?=?0 and (b ? ??)I?=?0, moreover ((a?+?b)x ? x)I?=?0 for all ${x\in I}$ .     

Synthesis of biosourced polyether-amides from 1,4-3,6-dianhydrohexitols: Characterization by NMR and MALDI–ToF mass spectrometry

New series of polyether-amides were prepared by polycondensation in solution of three diamines based on 1,4-3,6-dianhydrohexitols with two types of diacyl chlorides (sebacoyl and isophtaloyl). Unprecedented diamines based on isomannide and isoidide were elaborated. The corresponding polyether-amides (PeA) were obtained with high yields. They were characterized by different analytical techniques (NMR, MALDI–ToF MS, DSC). The combination of MALDI–ToF MS with NMR spectroscopy allowed us to confirm structure types. DSC measurements revealed an amorphous character for the isophtaloyl family with a high T_g value. The sebacoyl series proved to be semi-crystalline with a high T_m value. Isosorbide-based PeAs demonstrated interesting properties (T_g above 210 °C and T_m above 240 °C) and high viscosity (0.32).
