Si-tolerance of iron doped Pt/alumina catalyst in the total oxidation of VOC

Summary In the present study the effects of addition of iron on the catalytic activity and Si tolerability of Pt/g-Al₂O₃in the total oxidation of volatile organic compounds were investigated. Preliminary results showed that there is a noticeable improvement effect on Si-tolerance of catalyst, particularly for short term poison exposure. Bulk analysis of deposited silicon on the catalyst surface indicated that both Pt/g-Al₂O₃and iron-doped pellets had roughly the same silicone uptakes. Deactivation of catalyst was reversible and much faster for iron doped sample. The promoting effects of iron were related to its electronegativity and, to blocking of fewer Pt sites when iron is present at the surface of the catalyst.     

Risk perceptions and rationality in measures of risk

Individuals may have biased perceptions of health and safety risks. We conjecture perceptions of mortality risk from various risk measures using parametric and non-parametric methods. We investigate how risk perceptions are measured and what rational explanations can be found for these measures with implication for risk and solvency.     

Simultaneous Spectrophotometric Determination of Zinc and Nickel in Water Samples by Mean Centering of Ratio Kinetic Profiles

The mean centering of ratio kinetic profiles method was used for the simultaneous determination of binary mixtures of Ni(II) and Zn(II) in water samples, without prior separation steps. The method is based on the difference in the rate of the reaction of Ni(II) and Zn(II) with xylenol orange at pH 5.3. The method allows rapid and accurate determination of Ni(II) and Zn(II). The analytical characteristics of the methods for the simultaneous determination of binary mixtures of Ni(II) and Zn(II) were calculated. The linear range was 0.025‐2.400 μg mL^?1 and 0.025‐2.20 μg mL^?1 for Zn(II) and Ni(II), respectively. Interference effects of common anions and cations were studied, and the method was successfully applied to the simultaneous determination of Zn(II) and Ni(II) in water samples.     

One-pot synthesis of 1,2,3-triazole linked dihydropyrimidinones via Huisgen 1,3-dipolar/Biginelli cycloaddition

The combination of the Biginelli reaction with click chemistry has been used for the one-pot synthesis of 1,2,3-triazole linked dihydropyrimidinones from azides, aromatic aldehydes containing a propargyl ether group, urea, and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds using Cu(OAc)₂/sodium ascorbate as catalyst in acetic acid under mild reaction conditions.     

Multiple solutions for non-homogeneous degenerate Schrödinger equations in cone Sobolev spaces

The present paper deals with the study of semilinear and non-homogeneous Schrödinger equations on a manifold with conical singularity. We provide a suitable constant by Sobolev embedding constant and for p ∈ (2, 2?) with respect to non-homogeneous term g(x) ∈ L ₂ ^n/2 (B), which helps to find multiple solutions of our problem. More precisely, we prove the existence of two solutions to the problem 1.1 with negative and positive energy in cone Sobolev space H _2,0 ^1,n/2 (B). Finally, we consider p = 2 and we prove the existence and uniqueness of Fuchsian-Poisson problem.     

Improved double-gate armchair silicene nanoribbon field-effect-transistor at large transport bandgap

The electrical characteristics of a double-gate armchair silicene nanoribbon field-effect-transistor(DG ASi NR FET)are thoroughly investigated by using a ballistic quantum transport model based on non-equilibrium Green's function(NEGF) approach self-consistently coupled with a three-dimensional(3D) Poisson equation. We evaluate the influence of variation in uniaxial tensile strain, ribbon temperature and oxide thickness on the on-off current ratio, subthreshold swing, transconductance and the delay time of a 12-nm-length ultranarrow ASi NR FET. A novel two-parameter strain magnitude and temperature-dependent model is presented for designing an optimized device possessing balanced amelioration of all the electrical parameters. We demonstrate that employing Hf O2 as the gate insulator can be a favorable choice and simultaneous use of it with proper combination of temperature and strain magnitude can achieve better device performance.Furthermore, a general model power(GMP) is derived which explicitly provides the electron effective mass as a function of the bandgap of a hydrogen passivated ASi NR under strain.
