Anion‐controlled Syntheses and Crystal Structures of a Pair of Novel Azide‐bridged Copper(II) Complexes Constructed from 4‐Chloro‐2‐[(2‐dimethylaminoethylimino)methyl]phenol

A pair of novel azide‐bridged polynuclear copper(II) complexes, [CuL(μ_1,1‐N₃)]_n ( 1 ) and [Cu₄L₂(CH₃COO)₂(μ_1,1‐N₃)₄] ( 2 ) (L = 4‐chloro‐2‐[(2‐dimethylaminoethylimino)methyl]phenolate), have been obtained from the same Schiff base ligand and an identical synthetic procedure using anions of the metal salts as the only independent variable. Complex 1 was synthesized using copper(II) nitrate, while complex 2 was synthesized using the copper(II) acetate as the salt. Both of the complexes show novel supramolecular structures in their crystals as elucidated by X‐ray analyses. The polynuclear complex 1 contains [CuL(μ_1,1‐N₃)]_n units as the building blocks, crystallizes in the Pbca space group. The tetra‐nuclear complex 2 contains [Cu₄L₂(CH₃COO)₂(μ_1,1‐N₃)₄] units as the building blocks, crystallizes in the space group.     

Simultaneous Determination of Acetylsalicylic Acid and Caffeine in Pharmaceutical Formulation by First Derivative Synchronous Fluorimetric Method

A sensitive, rapid, and specific assay has been developed for the simultaneous determination of acetylsalicylic acid and caffeine in commercial tablets based on their natural fluorescence. The mixture of these drugs was resolved by first derivative synchronous fluorimetric technique using two scans. At Δλ=106 nm, using first derivative synchronous scanning, only acetylsalicylic acid yields a detectable signal at 316 nm (peak to zero method) which is unaffected by caffeine. At Δλ=30 nm, the signal of caffeine at 288 nm (peak to zero method) is not affected by acetylsalicylic acid. The range of application is between 0.021 and 41.62 μg ml⁻¹ (correlation coefficient, R=0.9995) for acetylsalicylic acid and between 0.4486 and 44.86 μg ml⁻¹ (correlation coefficient, R=0.99786) for caffeine. The recovery range of 98.40–102% for acetylsalicylic acid and 90–100.5% for caffeine from their synthetic mixture was reported. Overall recovery of both compounds about 97–99% for acetylsalicylic acid and 97–98% for caffeine was obtained from real sample analysis. The detection limits are 0.0013 μg ml⁻¹ and 0.0306 μg ml⁻¹ for acetylsalicylic acid and caffeine, respectively. The relative standard deviation (n=10) for 20 μg ml⁻¹ of acetylsalicylic acid is 2.75% and for 2.2 μg ml⁻¹of caffeine is 1.7%.     

A Predictive Coarse‐Grained Model for Semiflexible Polymers in Specific Solvents

A predictive CG model based on a conventional freely rotating chain was developed to describe semiflexible polymers on a relatively large length/time scale. Parameterization of the model requires only two material properties such as, the Kuhn length and coil density. The diameter of spherical “beads” employed in the model is used as an effective parameter that needs to be determined from preliminary data. Once determined for a particular solvent system, this parameter can then be used to model general solvent systems on a parameter‐free basis. Comparison with SANS data on dilute conjugated polymer solutions reveals that the CG polymer model can well describe material properties ranging from local rodlike segments to bulk interchain aggregates.

     

Optimal design of acoustic performance for automotive air-cleaner

The research on optimal design of acoustic performance for air-cleaner was presented and evaluated in this paper using a numerical simulation method and experimental method. A modified measurement was proposed in the paper to solve the problem of air flow noise caused by the original measurement layout. The modified measurement was proved to produce good results. A new study on the acoustic effect of filter was also developed here and noise reduction (NR) of the air-cleaner was predicted based on the study using the numerical simulation method. Actual intake noise was then predicted using the simulation method. Side branch silencers were designed to improve the acoustic capacity of the air-cleaner. The result shows that the newly optimized air-cleaner has a much better performance of noise elimination when engine operating.

Cross-correlations between the CSI 300 spot and futures markets

Financial markets are complex dynamical systems. One of the important features of market dynamics is the existence of cross-correlations between financial variables. Based on the high-frequency transaction prices (every 5 min) data, in this study, we investigate the cross-correlations between China Securities Index 300 (CSI 300) spot and futures markets. Qualitatively, employing a statistical test in analogy to the Ljung-Box test, we find that the cross-correlations are significant at the 1 % level. Quantitatively, using the multifractal detrending moving-average cross-correlation analysis (MF-XDMA) method, we find that the cross-correlations are strongly multifractal. An interesting finding is that the cross-correlation exponent is larger than the averaged generalized scaling exponent for different q, which is different from the general conclusion. Using the method of rolling windows, we find that the cross-correlations are positive over time, which suggests that China’s securities markets are not mature and efficient markets at present.     

Calculation of Ship Sinkage and Trim Using a Finite Element Method and Unstructured Grids

An unstructured grid-based, parallel free-surface flow solver has been extended to account for sinkage and trim effects in the calculation of steady ship waves. The overall scheme of the solver combines a finite-element, equal-order, projection-type three-dimensional incompressible flow solver with a finite element, two-dimensional advection equation solver for the free surface equation. The sinkage and trim, wave profiles, and wave drag computed using the present approach are in good agreement with experimental measurements for two hull forms at a wide range of Froude numbers. Numerical predictions indicate significant differences between the wave drag for a ship fixed in at-rest position and free to sink and trim, in agreement with experimental observations.     

Uniqueness of Stoneley waves in pre-stressed incompressible elastic media

The main aim of this paper is to prove, for the general case, the uniqueness of Stoneley waves propagating along the bonded interface of two pre-stressed incompressible elastic half-spaces. In order to do that the authors have used the complex function method. By this approach, it is shown that the secular equation of Stoneley waves in pre-stressed incompressible elastic half-spaces has at most one solution in the complex plane. This says that if a Stoneley wave exists, then it is unique.
