3-Methyl-1-Sulfonic acid imidazolium chloride as a new, efficient and recyclable catalyst and solvent for the preparation of N-sulfonyl imines at room temperature

New Brønsted acidic ionic liquid, 3-methyl-1-sulfonic acid imidazolium chloride {[Msim]Cl} was used as an efficient, green and reusable catalyst and solvent for the synthesis of N-sulfonyl imines via the condensation of sulfonamides with aldehydes as well as isatin. The reactions proceeded at room temperature and the title compounds were obtained in high to excellent yields and in relatively short reaction times.     

Effects of lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation on expression of growth-associated genes by corticospinal neurons

Background  

Inflammation around cell bodies of primary sensory neurons and retinal ganglion cells enhances expression of neuronal growth-associated genes and stimulates axonal regeneration. We have asked if inflammation would have similar effects on corticospinal neurons, which normally show little response to spinal cord injury. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was applied onto the pial surface of the motor cortex of adult rats with or without concomitant injury of the corticospinal tract at C4. Inflammation around corticospinal tract cell bodies in the motor cortex was assessed by immunohistochemistry for OX42 (a microglia and macrophage marker). Expression of growth-associated genes c-jun, ATF3, SCG10 and GAP-43 was investigated by immunohistochemistry or in situ hybridisation.     

Steering in computational science: Mesoscale modelling and simulation

This paper outlines the benefits of computational steering for high performance computing applications. Lattice-Boltzmann mesoscale fluid simulations of binary and ternary amphiphilic fluids in two and three dimensions are used to illustrate the substantial improvements which computational steering offers in terms of resource efficiency and time to discover new physics. We discuss details of our current steering implementations and describe their future outlook with the advent of computational grids.     

First integrals and analytical solutions of the nonlinear fin problem with temperature-dependent thermal conductivity and heat transfer coefficient

Fin materials can be observed in a variety of engineering applications. They are used to ease the dissipation of heat from a heated wall to the surrounding environment. In this work, we consider a nonlinear fin problem with temperature-dependent thermal conductivity and heat transfer coefficient. The equation(s) under study are highly nonlinear. Both the thermal conductivity and the heat transfer coefficient are given as arbitrary functions of temperature. Firstly, we consider the Lie group analysis for different cases of thermal conductivity and the heat transfer coefficients. These classifications are obtained from the Lie group analysis. Then, the first integrals of the nonlinear straight fin problem are constructed by three methods, namely, Noether’s classical method, partial Noether approach and Ibragimov’s nonlocal conservation method. Some exact analytical solutions are also constructed. The obtained result is also compared with the result obtained by other methods.     

Green,Catalyst-Free Protocol for the Efficient Synthesis of N-Sulfonyl Aldimines and Ketimines in Ionic Liquid [Bmim]Br

Sulfonamides are efficiently condensed with aldehydes as well as ketones in the absence of catalyst in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([bmim]Br) under microwave irradiation to afford N-sulfonyl aldimines and ketimines in good to excellent yields in short reaction times.     

乙酸功能化离子液体作为高效、可回收的催化剂用于2-萘酚与芳醛缩合反应(英文)

An efficient solvent‐free protocol for the synthesis of 14‐aryl‐14H‐dibenzo[a,j]xanthenes from the condensation of 2‐naphthol with arylaldehydes, using acetic acid functionalized imidazolium salts (1‐carboxymethyl‐3‐methylimidazolium bromide ([cmmim]Br) and 1‐carboxymethy1‐3-me-thylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate([cmmim]BF4) as reusable catalysts, has been developed. The turn over frequency on the catalysts is several times higher than the other previously reported catalysts. Also, thermal gravimetric analysis and powder X‐ray diffraction pattern of the catalysts have been studied.     

On regularity of block triangular fuzzy matrices

Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the regularity of block triangular fuzzy matrices. This leads to characterization of idempotency of a class of triangular Toeplitz matrices. As an application, the existence of group inverse of a block triangular fuzzy matrix is discussed. Equivalent conditions for a regular block triangular fuzzy matrix to be expressed as a sum of regular block fuzzy matrices is derived. Further, fuzzy relational equations consistency is studied.     

Probabilistic Inductive Classes of Graphs

A unifying framework—probabilistic inductive classes of graphs (PICGs)—is defined by imposing a probability space on the rules and their left elements from the standard notion of inductive class of graphs. The rules can model the processes creating real-world social networks, such as spread of knowledge, dynamics of acquaintanceships or sexual contacts, and emergence of clusters. We demonstrate the characteristics of PICGs by casting some well-known models of growing networks in this framework. Results regarding expected size and order are derived. For PICG models of connected and 2-connected graphs order, size and asymptotic degree distribution are presented. The approaches used represent analytic alternative to computer simulation, which is mostly used to obtain the properties of evolving graphs.
