Conflict resolution in fuzzy environment

Conflict resolution methodology is discussed with fuzzified Pareto frontier. Four solution concepts, namely, the Nash solution, the generalized Nash solution, the Kalai-Smorodinsky concept, and a solution method based on a special bargaining process are examined. The solutions are also fuzzy, the corresponding payoff values are fuzzy numbers, the membership functions of which are determined. Three particular cases are considered in the paper. Linear, quadratic, and general nonlinear Pareto frontiers with known shape are examined.     

Large area bolometers for millimeter-wave power calibration

An accurate monolithic power meter has been developed for millimeter-wave applications. The detector is a large-area Bismuth bolometer, integrated on a fused-Quartz substrate. It simply measures the temperature change caused by the absorption of millimeter-wave radiation. The power meter is simple to fabricate, inexpensive, and can be easily calibrated using a low-frequency network. The measured responsivity for a 50 bolometer, with an area of 1×1cm, at a bias of 1V. and a video modulation of 100Hz, is 1mV/W. The noise spectrum exhibits a 1/f rolloff till 1KHz, and is limited by the Johnson noise for higher frequencies. The NEP of the detector is 3WHz^–1/2 at a video modulation of 1KHz. It is possible to decrease the current NEP by fabricating bolometers with higher responsivities. Possible application areas are absolute power calibration and localized power density measurements at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths.     

A Highly Sensitive Spectrophotometric Assay of Bleomycins Based on the Fading Reaction of Some Halofluorescein Dyes

In weak acidic medium, anticancer antibiotics bleomycin A5 （BLMA5） and bleomycin A2 （BLMA2） can react with halofluorescein dyes such as erythrosin （Ery）, eosin Y （EY）, eosin B （EB） and rose bengal （RB） by virtue of electrostatic attraction and hydrophobic force to form the ion-association complexes, which can result in the fading reactions of four halofluorescein dyes. The maximum fading wavelengths of these four dyes were located at 527 nm for Ery, 515 nm for EY, 517 nm for EB and 546 nm for RB, respectively. The decrements of absorbance （AA） were directly proportional to the concentrations of bleomycin in a certain range. A new method for the determination of bleomycins anticancer drugs based on fading reactions of halofluorescein dyes has been developed. The method was not only highly sensitive but also simple and rapid. The molar absorptivities （ε） ranged from 1.5 × 10^5 to 7.5 × 10^5 L·mol^-1·cm^-1. It was applied to determination of the bleomycins in human serum, urine and rabbit serum samples. In this work, the spectral properties and the optimum reaction conditions were investigated. The structure of ion-association complexes and the reaction mechanism were discussed.     

Synthesis of polypiperazine-amide thin-film membrane on PPESK hollow fiber UF membrane

A new interfacial polymerization (IP) procedure is developed in order to synthesize polypiperazine-amide thin-film membrane on the inner surface of poly(phthalazinone ether sulfone ketone) (PPESK) hollow fiber ultrafiltration (UF) membrane.A hollow fiber composite membrane with good performance was prepared and studied by FT-IR and scanning electron microscopy.

Hypervalent Iodine(III) Sulfonate Mediated Synthesis of Imidazo[1,2‐a]pyridines

A direct and efficient method for the conversion of alkyl aryl ketones to imidazo[1,2‐α]pyridines has been developed based on initial formation of α‐organosulfonyloxy ketones and their subsequent cyclocondensation by 2‐aminopyridines in one‐pot conditions.
