Resistivity－temperature characteristics of sol gel YBa2Cu3Oy samples synthesized in flowing oxygen atmosphere

The relationship of resistivity versus synthesizing temperature of sol gel YBa_2Cu_3O_y samples was studied when prepared under flowing oxygen conditions. A set of high-temperature ρ－T curves was obtained for the whole process. After the sample finished the test measuring, its resistivity was ρ_{300}=9.83×10^{-3 }Ω·cm at room temperature. The ρ－T curve also showed that the orthorhombic－tetragonal phase transformation of sol-gel YBa_2Cu_3O_y sample occurred at 581℃ for the sample in the rising temperature process, but at 613℃ in the cooling process, lower than that of the samples made by using the conventional powder metallurgy methods.     

Experimental and Theoretical Investigation on the Thermochemistry of 3-Methyl-2-benzoxazolinone and 6-Nitro-2-benzoxazolinone

The determination of the reliable thermodynamic properties of 2-benzoxazolinone derivatives is the main goal of this work. Some correlations are established between the energetic properties determined and the structural characteristics of the title compounds, and the reactivity of this class of compounds is also evaluated. Static-bomb combustion calorimetry and high-temperature Calvet microcalorimetry were used to determine, respectively, the standard molar enthalpies of formation in the solid state and the standard molar enthalpies of sublimation, both at T = 298.15 K. Using the results obtained for each compound, the respective gas-phase standard molar enthalpy of formation was derived. High-level quantum chemical calculations were performed to estimate the same property and the results evidence good accordance. Moreover, the gas-phase relative thermodynamic stability of 2-benzoxazolinone derivatives was also evaluated using the respective gas-phase standard molar Gibbs energy of formation. In addition, the relationship between the energetic and structural characteristics of the benzoxazolinones is presented, evidencing the enthalpic increments associated with the presence of a methyl and a nitro groups in the molecule, and this effect is compared with similar ones in other structurally related compounds.

Gibbs Measures for Brownian Paths Under the Effect of an External and a Small Pair Potential

We consider Brownian motion in the presence of an external and a weakly coupled pair interaction potential and show that its stationary measure is a Gibbs measure. Uniqueness of the Gibbs measure for two cases is shown. Also the typical path behaviour, the degree of mixing and some further properties are derived. We use cluster expansion in the small coupling parameter.     

Monte Carlo approximation through Gibbs output in generalized linear mixed models

Geyer (J. Roy. Statist. Soc. 56 (1994) 291) proposed Monte Carlo method to approximate the whole likelihood function. His method is limited to choosing a proper reference point. We attempt to improve the method by assigning some prior information to the parameters and using the Gibbs output to evaluate the marginal likelihood and its derivatives through a Monte Carlo approximation. Vague priors are assigned to the parameters as well as the random effects within the Bayesian framework to represent a non-informative setting. Then the maximum likelihood estimates are obtained through the Newton Raphson method. Thus, out method serves as a bridge between Bayesian and classical approaches. The method is illustrated by analyzing the famous salamander mating data by generalized linear mixed models.     

A directed topic model applied to call center improvement

We propose subject matter expert refined topic (SMERT) allocation, a generative probabilistic model applicable to clustering freestyle text. SMERT models are three‐level hierarchical Bayesian models in which each item is modeled as a finite mixture over a set of topics. In addition to discrete data inputs, we introduce binomial inputs. These ‘high‐level’ data inputs permit the ‘boosting’ or affirming of terms in the topic definitions and the ‘zapping’ of other terms. We also present a collapsed Gibbs sampler for efficient estimation. The methods are illustrated using real world data from a call center. Also, we compare SMERT with three alternative approaches and two criteria. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Isothermal vapor–liquid equilibria for binary mixtures of benzene, toluene, m-xylene, and N-methylformamide at 333.15 K and 353.15 K

Isothermal vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) at 333.15 K and 353.15 K for four binary mixtures of benzene + toluene, benzene + N-methylformamide, toluene + m-xylene and toluene + N-methylformamide have been obtained at pressures ranged from 0 kPa to 101.3 kPa. The NRTL, UNIQUAC and Wilson activity coefficient models have been employed to correlate experimental pressures and liquid mole fractions. The non-ideal behavior of the vapor phase has been considered by using the Soave–Redlich–Kwong equation of state in calculating the vapor mole fraction. Liquid and vapor densities were also measured by using two vibrating tube densitometers. The P–x–y diagram and the activity coefficient indicate that two mixtures of benzene + toluene and toluene + m-xylene were close to the ideal solution. However, two mixtures containing N-methylformamide present a large positive deviation from the ideal solution. The excess Gibbs energy in the benzene + toluene mixture is negative indicates that it is an exothermic system.     

Solubility of 1-Butene in Water and in a Medium for Cultivation of a Bacterial Strain

Solubility measurements of 1-butene in water, from 20 to 50°C and at atmospheric pressure, were carried out using a Ben-Naim/Baer-type apparatus. The experimental results have a precision of about ±0.3%. Using accurate thermodynamic relations, the Ostwald coefficients at the experimental conditions and at infinite dilution, the mole fractions of the dissolved gas at the gas partial pressure of 101.325 kPa and the Henry coefficients at the water vapor pressure were calculated. The mole fraction of dissolved gas were fitted to the Clarke, Glew, and Weiss equation and thermodynamic quantities, standard molar Gibbs energy, entropy, and enthalpy changes, for the process of transferring the 1-butene molecules from the gaseous to the water phase, were computed. Moreover, solubility measurements of 1-butene in an aqueous medium for the cultivation of Xanthobacter Py2 in the same temperature range were also performed at atmospheric pressure. These solubility data are approximately 2.6% lower than those observed in pure water.
