Volumetric gas-liquid mass transfer coefficients were measured in suspensions of cellulose fibers with concentrations ranging from 0 to 20 g/L. The mass transfer coefficients were measured using the dynamic method. Results are presented for three different combinations of impellers at a variety of gassing rates and agitation speeds. Rheological properties of the cellulose fibers were also measured using the impeller viscometer method. Tests were conducted in a 20 L stirred-tank fermentor and in 65 L tank with a height to diameter ratio of 3:1. Power consumption was measured in both vessels. At low agitation rates, two Rushton turbines gave 20% better performance than the Rushton and hydrofoil combination and 40% better performance than the Rushton and propeller combination for oxygen transfer. At higher agitation rates, the Rushton and hydrofoil combination gave 14 and 25% better performance for oxygen transfer than two Rushton turbines and the Rushton and hydrofoil combination, respectively.
Complete and incomplete fusion cross sections for the 9Be + 144Sm reaction have been measured at near-barrier energies, using the delayed X-ray detection technique. At above-barrier energies these show a suppression of complete fusion for this weakly bound projectile on an intermediate mass target. The suppression factor, attributed to 9Be break-up, was deduced from a comparison of complete fusion yields with coupled-channels calculations, and appears consistent with measured incomplete fusion product yields. At ∼10%, it is considerably smaller than the value of ∼30% previously found for a 208Pb target. Simultaneous measurements of elastic and inelastic scattering permit a clearer picture of the reaction mechanisms. 相似文献
Automatic segmentation and classification of color images is a problem of great practical interest in different areas. This
paper presents an algorithm for this purpose which is divided in three steps. Firstly, the regions of interest are isolated
from the rest of the image based on threshold functions defined in theYUV andYIQ color spaces, producing a set of connected components. Then, a set of features is computed to enable a quantitative evaluation
of the segmented objects. Finally, the image is classified by means of a decision rule based on the analysis of the differences
between the computed measures and a set of ideally segmented images, according to experts’ assessment. The algorithm was applied
to a decision support tool for estrus detection in cattle. This approach constitutes a valuable alternative to improve this
process, as it may replace the visual observation by the automatic analysis of pictures taken to cows in controlled environments.
Experimental results show that the segmentations obtained with this method are highly satisfactory and they allow a precise
classification of the images with low computational complexity. 相似文献
Summary This paper gives a recursive generalization of a strong notation system of ordinals, which was devellopped by Jäger [3]. The generalized systemT(V) is based on a hierarchy of Veblen-functions for inaccessible ordinals. The definition ofT(V) assumes the existence of a weak Mahlo-ordinal. The wellordering ofT(V) is provable in a formal system of second order arithmetic with the axiom schema of

Summary N-Arylsubstituted ureas undergo exchange of the N-residue upon reaction with amines. Using kinetic measurements, investigation of product distribution, regioselectivity, catalysis, and substrate influences, it was shown that this reaction proceeds via a second order nucleophilic substitution at the urea carbonyl center. By means of semiempirical calculations using the MNDO method the alternative mechanism of fragmentation was investigated.
Zur Synthese N-substituierter Harnstoffe II: Nucleophile Substitution von Harnstoffen an der Carbonylgruppe
Zusammenfassung N-Arylsubstituierte Harnstoffe erleiden bei der Reaktion mit Aminen einen Austausch des N-Restes. Durch kinetische Messungen, Untersuchung der Produktverteilung, Regioselektivität, Katalyse und des Einflusses des Edukts konnte abgeleitet werden, daß es sich hiebei um eine nucleophile Substitution zweiter Ordnung am Carbonylzentrum des Harnstoffs handelt. Durch semiempirische Rechnungen mit Hilfe der MNDO Methode wurde der alternative Reaktionsmechanismus einer Fragmentierung untersucht.
Miscibility relationships in four-component systems containing sodium alkylbenzenesulfonates, toluene, n-butanol, and water were studied at 25°C in the hope of clarifying the complex systems used in the “micellar flood” enhanced oil recovery process. Phase boundary curves for the pseudo three-component systems (constant sulfonate/water ratios, 2.5 moles sulfonate per kg water) were determined. The sulfonates included those of benzene, toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene, isopropylbenzene, mesitylene, cymene, methyl-t-butylbenzene, and diisopropylbenzene, in all of which the alkyl substituents are smaller than in the usual surfactants. The phase boundary curves have similar and fairly symmetrical shapes. The amount of n-butanol (cosolvent) required to produce miscibility decreases with increasing number of alkyl carbons on the benzene ring of the sulfonates and seems relatively independent of the isomeric structure. The sodium salt of diisopropylbenzenesulfonate gives the lowest phase boundary curve (least n-butanol required for miscibility) among the nine sulfonates studied. 相似文献
The configurations of the 5,6-double bond in the carbacyclins iloprost ( 3 ; (E)) and isoiloprost ( 4 ; (Z)) are based on a complete assignment of the 13C and 1H resonances determined by 1D and 2D 13C-NMR and 1H-NMR methods. 相似文献
VNCl2(Pyridine)2; Synthesis, I. R. Spectrum, and Crystal Structure VNCl2(Pyridine)2 is formed from the cyclothiazeno-vanadium(IV) complex [VCl(N3S2)(Pyridine)2]2 · 2 CH2Cl2 in boiling toluene in form of brown-red, hydrolysis sensitive crystal. It was characterized by its I.R. spectrum and an X-ray crystal structure determination. VNCl2(Pyridine)2crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pccn with four formula units per unit cell (668 observed independent reflexions, R = 0.055). Lattice constants: a = 1550, b = 924, c = 832 pm. Monomer molecules are situated on twofold rotation axes. They are stacked along the V?N axis to form columns V?N…V. The short VN bond of 160 pm corresponds to a triple bond, whereas the V…N distance of 256 pm indicates a weak interaction. The V? N(Pyridine) and V? Cl bond lengths are 213.0 and 233.5 pm, respectively. 相似文献
