Novel long chain unsaturated diisocyanate from fatty acid: Synthesis,characterization, and application in bio‐based polyurethane

A novel long chain linear unsaturated terminal diisocyanate, 1,16‐diisocyanatohexadec‐8‐ene (HDEDI) was synthesized from oleic acid via Curtius rearrangement. Its chemical structure was identified by FTIR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and HRMS. This diisocyanate was used as a starting material for the preparation of entirely bio‐based polyurethanes (PUs) by reacting it with canola diol and canola polyol, respectively. The physical properties and crystalline structure of the PUs prepared from this diisocyanate were compared to their counterparts prepared from similar fatty acid‐derived diisocyanate, 1,7‐heptamethylene diisocyanate (HPMDI). The HDEDI based PUs demonstrated various different properties compared to those of HPMDI based PUs. For example, HDEDI based PUs exhibited a triclinic crystal form; whereas HPMDI based PUs exhibited a hexagonal crystal lattice. In addition, canola polyol‐HDEDI PU demonstrated a higher tensile strength at break than that of canola polyol‐HPMDI, attributed to the higher degree of hydrogen bonding associated with the former sample. Nevertheless, lower Young's modulus and higher elongation in canola polyol‐HDEDI PU were obtained because of the flexibility of the long chain introduced by the HDEDI diisocyanate. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

An analysis of the morphological and spectral behaviour of the gamma-ray bursts

Summary We investigate by a statistical analysis possible correlations among the observational parameters of the γ-ray bursts: the rise time, the decay time and spectral hardness. We discuss the physical constraints implied by the results. To speed up publication, the proofs were not sent to the authors and were supervised by the Scientific Committee.

On the pfaffianized-KP equation with self-consistent sources

A new procedure called ‘source generation’ is applied to the pfaffianized KP equation. As a result, the pfaffianized-KP equation with self-consistent sources (ESCS) is obtained. This coupled system cannot only be reduced to the pfaffianized KP equation, but also reduced to the KP equation with self-consistent sources (KPESCS). So the pfaffianized-KP ESCS can be viewed as a pfaffian version of the KPESCS, which indicates the commutativity of the ‘source generation’ procedure and pfaffianization.

Toxicity and the cardiovascular activity of organotin compounds: a review

A comprehensive review on toxicity of organotin compounds including sources of their intake and mode of action, and cardiovascular activity of organotin compounds is presented. Further research to develop novel useful organotin compounds having hypertensive activity needs to be carried out. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Multi-Class Cost-Constrained Random Coding for Correlated Sources over the Multiple-Access Channel

This paper studies a generalized version of multi-class cost-constrained random-coding ensemble with multiple auxiliary costs for the transmission of N correlated sources over an N-user multiple-access channel. For each user, the set of messages is partitioned into classes and codebooks are generated according to a distribution depending on the class index of the source message and under the constraint that the codewords satisfy a set of cost functions. Proper choices of the cost functions recover different coding schemes including message-dependent and message-independent versions of independent and identically distributed, independent conditionally distributed, constant-composition and conditional constant composition ensembles. The transmissibility region of the scheme is related to the Cover-El Gamal-Salehi region. A related family of correlated-source Gallager source exponent functions is also studied. The achievable exponents are compared for correlated and independent sources, both numerically and analytically.
