Titanium(IV) tetraisopropoxide was employed as a metal oxide sol–gel precursor to prepare ceramic composite nanofibers by the electrospinning system. To facilitate this process and obtain the desired nanofibers with higher aspect ratios and surface area, poly(vinylpyrrolidone) was added to the sol of titania. Four ceramic nanofibers sheets based on titania were prepared while each sheet contained different transition metals such as Fe‐Mn, Fe‐Ni, Fe‐Co, and Fe‐Mn‐Co‐Ni. The scanning electron microscope images showed good homogeneity for all the prepared ceramic composites with a diameter range of 100–250 nm. The sorption efficiency was investigated by a micro‐solid‐phase extraction setup in online combination with high‐performance liquid chromatography for the determination of naproxen and clobetasol. All the prepared composites exhibited comparable efficiencies for the desired analytes and the type of metal showed insignificant effect. For the selected composite with Fe‐Mn, the linearity of the analytes was in the range of 1–1000 μg/L and the limit of detection values were found to be 2 and 0.3 μg/L for naproxen and clobetasol, respectively. The developed method was extended to the analysis of urine and blood plasma samples and acceptable relative standard deviations were obtained at two concentration levels. 相似文献

Previously limited to highly symmetrical homoleptic triple-helical complexes [Er( Lk )3]3+, where Lk are polyaromatic tridentate ligands, single-center molecular-based upconversion using linear optics and exploiting the excited-state absorption mechanism (ESA) greatly benefits from the design of stable and low-symmetrical [ Lk Er(hfa)3] heteroleptic adducts (hfa−=hexafluoroacetylacetonate anion). Depending on (i) the extended π-electron delocalization, (ii) the flexibility and (iii) the heavy atom effect brought by the bound ligand Lk , the near-infrared (801 nm) to visible green (542 nm) upconversion quantum yield measured for [ Lk Er(hfa)3] in solution at room temperature can be boosted by up to three orders of magnitude. 相似文献
An important routing problem is to determine an optimal path through a multi-attribute network which minimizes a cost function of path attributes. In this paper, we study an optimal path problem in a bi-attribute network where the cost function for path evaluation is fractional. The problem can be equivalently formulated as the “bi-attribute rational path problem” which is known to be NP-complete. We develop an exact approach to find an optimal simple path through the network when arc attributes are non-negative. The approach uses some path preference structures and elimination techniques to discard, from further consideration, those (partial) paths that cannot be parts of an optimal path. Our extensive computational results demonstrate that the proposed method can find optimal paths for large networks in very attractive times. 相似文献
We investigate the Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau equation for spin-zero bosons in a (\(3+1\))-dimensional Som–Raychaudhuri space–time. We establish the covariant Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau equation in this curved space–time for the so-called oscillator and we include interaction with a scalar potential. We determine eigenfunctions and the corresponding eigenvalues for the oscillator with the Cornell potential. We investigate the effect of the space–time’s parameters, oscillator’s frequency and the Cornell potential’s parameters on the wave functions. 相似文献
In this paper, we study two-phase multicomponent displacement of two immiscible fluids in both homogeneous and heterogeneous porous media. In many applications such as enhanced oil recovery, fluid mixing and spreading can be detrimental to the efficacy of the process. Here, we show that when an initially immobile phase is being displaced by a finite-size slug of solvents (surfactant and polymer), viscous fingering significantly enhances mixing and spreading of solvents. These effects are similar to those caused by medium heterogeneity and lead to poor displacement efficiency. We first quantify the displacement efficiency subject to different mobility ratios, Peclet numbers, and levels of medium heterogeneity. We observe a non-monotonic behavior in displacement efficiency as a function of mobility ratio, indicating that although stable frontal interface is desirable, miscible viscous fingering on the rear interface will eventually disintegrate the solvents slugs and reduce the displacement efficiency. Then, we show that miscible viscous fingering developing on the rear interface of the chemical slug could be greatly suppressed when viscosity contrast is gradually decreased using exponential or linear functions, leading to 10% increase in displacement efficiency while using the same amount of chemicals. To elucidate this low displacement efficiency, we study the evolution of mixing, spreading, and interfacial length and show that while higher viscosity ratios are quite effective in mobilizing the initially immobile phase in 1D displacements, they are in fact detrimental in 2D unstable displacements since they enhance mixing and spreading of solvents.
