The applicability of ultraviolet-light emitting diodes(LEDs)as a light source for photocatalysis using granular activated charcoal (GAC)impregnated with transition metal-enhanced photocatalysts for the control of volatile organic compounds(VOCs)was investigated. Two target compounds(toluene and methyl mercaptan)were selected to evaluate the removal activities of the TiO2/GAC composites.The photocatalysts were prepared by a sol-gel method.Methyl trimethoxy silane was added as a precursor sol solution to bind...     

Hard discs in circular cavities: density functional theory versus simulation

Three different density functional approaches, namely the Rickayzen, Takamiya-Nakanishi and Rosenfeld approximations, have been employed to study the equilibrium particle density distributions of hard-disc fluids in hard circular cavities. Also, Monte Carlo simulations have been performed to test the theoretical results. The comparison with the simulation data shows that the Rosenfeld approximation, which is based on the fundamental geometrical measures of the particles, is better than the Takamiya-Nakanishi and Rickayzen approximations and yields good agreement with the computer simulation data even for higher densities.

STUDY OF THE IMPULSE WAVE DISCHARGED FROM THE EXIT OF A RIGHT-ANGLE PIPE BEND

The impulse wave, which is usually generated by a shock wave discharge from the exit of a pipe, almost always leads to undesirable noise and vibration problems. The present study addresses experimental and computational work of the impulse wave discharged from the exit of two kinds of right-angle pipe bends, which are attached to the open end of a simple shock tube. The weak normal shock wave with its magnitude of Mach number from 1·02 to 1·20 is employed to obtain the impulse wave propagating outside the exit of the pipe bends. A Schlieren optical system is employed to visualize the impulse wave discharged from the exit of the pipe bends at an instant. The experimental data of the magnitude of the impulse wave and its propagation directivity are analyzed to characterize the impulse waves discharged from the exit of the pipe bends and compared with those discharged from a straight pipe. Computational analysis using the unsteady, inviscid, compressible equations is complemented to represent the major features of the impulse wave obtained from the shock tube experiments. Computational results well predict the experimented dynamic behaviors of the impulse wave. The results obtained show that a right-angle miter bend considerably reduces the magnitude of the impulse wave and its directivity toward to the pipe axis, compared with the straight pipe. It is believed that the right-angle miter bend pipe can play one role of a passive control against the impulse wave.     

PORPHYRIN-SENSITIZED PHOTOREACTIONS IN THE PRESENCE OF ASCORBATE: OXIDATION OF CELL MEMBRANE LIPIDS AND HYDROXYL RADICAL TRAPS

Abstract— Photooxidation reactions in ascorbate (AH)-containing erythrocyte membrane suspensions have been studied in broad perspective by simultaneously monitoring lipid peroxidation in the membrane compartment and formation of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and hydroxyl radical (OH) in the aqueous compartment. Non-bound uroporphyrin (UP) and membrane-bound protoporphyrin (PP) were used as sensitizers. Photoreduction of UP to the radical anion (UP^-) was detected by electron spin resonance when UP/AH/membrane mixtures were irradiated anaerobically. Aerobic irradiation resulted in a strong AH^--stimulation of lipid peroxidation, H₂O₂ formation, and OH^- generation (detected with 2-deoxyribose (DOR) and the spin trap 5,5-dimethyl-l-pyrroline-N-oxide). Use of diagnostic agents (e.g. catalase, desferrioxamine, mannitol) revealed that OH^- is involved in light-stimulated DOR oxidation, but not in lipid peroxidation. Similar irradiation in the presence of PP resulted in far greater lipid peroxidation than observed with UP, but less DOR oxidation, and insignificant accumulation of H₂O₂. This suggests that photoreduction of membrane-bound PP is less efficient, possibly due to hindered access of AH^-.     

A model for the value of a business, some optimization problems in its operating procedures and the valuation of its debt

Corresponding author, email pw{at}oxfordfinancial.co.uk; also at: Imperial College, London In this paper we present a model for the value of a firm basedon observable variables and parameters: the annual turnover,the expenses, interest rates. This value is the solution ofa parabolic partial differential equation. We show how the valueof the company depends on its legal status such as its liability(that is, whether it is a Limited Company or a sole trader/partnership).We give examples of how the operating procedures can be optimized(for example, whether the firm should close down, relocate etc.).Finally, we show how the model can be used to value the debtissued by the firm.     

Photovoltaic and Electroluminescence Bifunctional Devices with Starburst Amine and Rare-Earth-Complexes

We fabricate the organic photovoltaic （PV） devices, in which 4,4＇,4＂-tris-（2-methylphenylphenylamino）triphenylamine （m-MTDATA） and rare earth （RE） （dibenzoylmethanato）a（bathohenanthroline） （RE（DBM）abath） （RE = Nd or Pr） are used as electron donor and acceptor, and investigate their PV properties. The PV diode fabricated in the optimum processing conditions shows the open-circuit voltage of 1.91 V, short-circuit current of 0.1 mA/cm^2, fill factor of 0.38, and the overall power conversion efficiency of 1.9% when it is irradiated under UV light （4 m W/cm^2）. The photocurrent density exhibits an increase of 20% at least when a very thin LiF layer is inserted between the RE-complexes and the A1 cathode. A strong electroluminescence from the interface is also observed and the maximum luminance of a yellow emission resulted from the exciplex is 580 cd/m^2 at 17 V bias.
