Optimization of ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) of betulin from white birch bark using response surface methodology

Betulin is an abundant naturally occurring triterpene, which makes it a potentially important raw material for a precursor of biologically active compounds. The objective of the current study was to determine the optimum UAE conditions for betulin from B. papyfera bark. The optimum conditions were evaluated with fractional factorial design and optimized using response surface methodology. High yields of betulin were observed from white birch bark by UAE technology. The solvent concentration and the ratio of material to solvent were the most significant parameters on betulin extraction as evaluated through FFD. The extraction conditions were further investigated with central composite design. The fitted second-order model revealed that the optimal conditions consisted of 98% ethonal concentration, 1:42 the ratio of white birch bark to solvent, extraction temperature 50 °C, ultrasonic frequency 5 kHz and extraction time 3 h. Under the optimized condition, the maximum productivity of betulin predicted is 23.17%. The extraction productivity and purity of betulin under the optimized extraction conditions were great higher than that of the non-optimized condition. The present study demonstrates that ultrasound is a great efficiency tool for the fast extraction of betulin from white birch bark.     

Studies of K-shell x-ray energy shifts induced by MeV/u heavy ions

This paper reports that the K x-ray spectra of the thin target 47Ag, 48Cd, 49In and 50Sn were measured by an HPGe semi-conductor detector in collisions with 84.5 MeV 6C4+ ions. Our experiment revealed the Kα x-ray energy shifts were not obvious and the Kβ1 x-ray energy shifts were about 90～110 eV. The simple model of Burch et al has been previously used to calculate the K x-ray energy shifts due to an additional vacancy in 2p orbit. The present work extends the model of Burch to calculate the x-ray energy shifts of multiple ionized atoms induced by heavy ions with kinetic energy of MeV/u. In addition to our experimental results, many other experimental results are compared with the calculated values by using the model.     

Polymerization of aniline in the interlayer space of molybdenum trioxide and its electrochemical properties

Molybdenum trioxide/polyaniline (MoO₃/PANI) composite was prepared first by ion-exchange reaction between aniline (ANI) and dodecylamine (DDA) which was intercalated precursor, and then was formed under the polymerization of ANI within the interlayer space of MoO₃ at 120 °C for 3 d in air. According to powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, infrared spectroscopy and electrochemical testing, MoO₃/PANI composite has layered structure, and its interlayer spacing is 1.127 nm. Moreover, it has high thermal stability with the compound and completes its weight loss at 751.9 °C. Electrochemical investigation shows that MoO₃ is the major active substance in the MoO₃/PANI electrode, and MoO₃/PANI electrode demonstrates better conductivity and electrochemical activity than pure MoO₃ electrode, attributed to the promotion of Li⁺ and/or electron transport. In addition, the alternating current impedance proves that if the resistance of MoO₃/PANI electrode reduces apparently, the electrochemical activity will increase correspondingly, the same as the relationship between the ohmic resistance and the electrical conductivity.

A NOTE ON SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS OF SHAPE-FROM-MOMENTS

The shape-from-moments problem is to reconstruct a planar polygon from a set of its complex moments. To reconstruct a polygon means to estimate the vertices and the ordering of the vertices. We notice that some coefficients are very important in finding out the ordering of the vertices. We introduce sensitive factors for the coefficients and use it to analyze sensitivity. These factors are also useful for the sensitivity of the vertices.
