A cyclic hexapeptide with three pyridyl moieties connected to its backbone forms a hydrogen‐bonded dimer, which tightly encapsulates a single xenon atom, like a pearl in its shell. The dimer imprints its shape and symmetry to the captured xenon atom, as demonstrated by 129Xe NMR spectroscopy, single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, and computational studies. The dimers self‐assemble hierarchically into tubular structures to form a porous supramolecular architecture, whose cavities are filled by small molecules and gases. 相似文献
We provide results allowing to state, by the simple inspection of suitable classes of posets (propositional Kripke frames), that the corresponding intermediate propositional logics are maximal among the ones which satisfy the disjunction property. Starting from these results, we directly exhibit, without using the axiom of choice, the Kripke frames semantics of 2No maximal intermediate propositional logics with the disjunction property. This improves previous evaluations, giving rise to the same conclusion but made with an essential use of the axiom of choice, of the cardinality of the set of the maximal intermediate propositional logics with the disjunction property.

We investigated, by means of dielectric spectroscopy, the relaxation dynamics of glass forming binary mixtures composed by the quite rigid polar molecules tert-butylpyridine dissolved in the apolar solvent tristyrene. By changing the relative concentration of the components we observed a transition from a relaxation scenario with a structural process and an excess wing to that with a structural process and a well resolved secondary process. Another relaxation process, slower than the latter, was observed, well below Tg. Our detailed analysis evidenced that the secondary relaxation with shorter relaxation time can be identified as the Johari-Goldstein relaxation for all the mixtures, whereas the new relaxation process was attributed to a different type of motion of tert-butylpyridine needing a larger amount of free volume for the molecular rotation. 相似文献
The structural dynamics of ultrathin polymer films of poly(ethylene terephthalate) capped between aluminum electrodes have been investigated by dielectric relaxation spectroscopy. A deviation from bulk behavior, appearing as an increase of the relaxation time at a fixed temperature, is observed for films of thickness below 35 nm. The slowing down acts as a constant shift factor independent from the temperature, and the fragility is constant. The interfacial energy between aluminum and poly(ethylene terephthalate) is calculated to be 3 mJ/m2, confirming a strong interaction between polymer and substrate, which leads to the presence of a layer characterized by a reduced mobility at their interfaces. We proposed a mathematical schematization of a multylayer model that allowed qualitative reproduction of the observed thickness dependences of the static and dynamic properties. In terms of such a model, the upper limit for the thickness of the reduced mobility layer was estimated as 20 nm. The conditions to extend the proposed model to different observables are finally suggested. 相似文献
In this paper we first prove short time existence of a classical solution for the problem which describes the evolution by
Gaussian curvature of a strictly convex hypersurface in . Then we give a proof of the existence of a viscosity solution for this problem in such a way as to define a generalized
motion existing for each time.

This paper deals with thermal analyses, burning trials and reactivity tests on 15 carbonate rocks, i.e., pure and impure carbonates, mud-supported and grain-supported limestones, crystalline marbles, and dolomites, used for the production of different lime products in industrial vertical shaft kilns worldwide. In particular, thermogravimetric and differential thermogravimetric analysis (TG–DTG) on massive (80–120 g) fine-grained (< 3.35 mm) samples allowed the extrapolation of the Arrhenius kinetic parameters, i.e., the (apparent) activation energy (Ea) and the pre-exponential or frequency factor (A). Other calcination parameters, i.e., the duration time, starting and ending calcination times and temperatures, and peaks of maximum calcination rate were also extrapolated in order to enhance their relationships with quicklime reactivity. Moreover, thermal analyses (TG–DTG–DTA) were repeated on powders (90 mg) using a more accurate analyzer to compare results. The study is completed by a thorough chemical–physical and mineralogical–petrographic characterization of carbonate rocks and derived burnt products. Results pointed out that medium-to-coarse crystalline materials, i.e., grain-supported limestones, diagenetic dolomites, and granoblastic marbles presented the highest activation energy, burnability and slaking reactivity. Conversely, microcrystalline carbonates with the highest micrite-to-sparite ratio, i.e., mud-supported limestones, and impure carbonates, enriched in quartz, clay minerals, and other subordinated non-carbonate impurities, presented the lowest activation energy, burnability, and slaking reactivity. This study also investigated the effect of BET-specific surface area and real density, depending on specific sintering tendency, on quicklime reactivity. Results from this multidisciplinary research activity put further constraints on carbonate rocks calcination kinetics and their suitability in the lime industry.
