Adsorption of Carboxylic Acids by Diethylenetriamine Intercalation Compound of α-Zr(HPO4)2 · H2O

Abstract

Two kinds of diethylenetriamine (2E3A) intercalation compounds of α-zirconium phosphate with different interlayer distances could be obtained by regulating the reaction time and temperature. Phase I (d = 10.2 Å) slowly transforms to Phase II(d = 15. 8 Å) with transformation enthalpy of 30 kJ-mol^?1 in 2E3A aqueous solution. The conformation of 2E3A in Phase I and Phase II were confirmed to be bent and all trans (straight) forms by³¹P MAS NMR and XRD measurements. Two phases have different adsorption behavior for gaseous carboxylic acids. Phase II can adsorb considerable amount of carboxylic acids whereas Phase I adsorb a little.

Projective Brauer Theory

In this article, we define and study a new concept of projective Brauer characters. Following the direct approach as taken in Navarro (1998 Navarro , G. ( 1998 ). Characters and Blocks of Finite Groups. Cambridge , UK : Cambridge University Press . [Google Scholar]) and Isaacs (1975 Isaacs , I. M. ( 1975 ). Character Theory of Finite Groups . New York : Academic Press . [Google Scholar]), we study the resulting projective blocks of projective Frobenius characters and projective Brauer characters of a given group determined by certain linkage condition as an introduction to a projective extension of classic Brauer theory.     

Rayleigh dissipation from the general recurrence of metrics in path spaces

Given a pair (metric g, symmetric 2-covariant tensor field H though as a Rayleigh dissipation) on a path space (manifold M, semispray S), the family of nonlinear connections N such that H equals the dynamical derivative of g with respect to (S,N) is determined by using the Obata tensors. In this way, we generalize the case of metric nonlinear connections as well as that of recurrent metrics. As applications, we treat firstly the case of Finslerian (α,β)-metrics finding all nonlinear connections for which the associated Finsler-Sasaki metric is exactly the dynamical derivative of the Riemannian-Sasaki metric. Secondly, we apply our results for the case of Beil metrics used in Relativity and field theories.     

Behavior of the thermal expansion coefficient of α-MoO3 as a function of the concentration of the Nd ion

We carried out a comparative study of the thermal dilatation coefficient of molybdenum trioxide with and without Nd³⁺ doping. The doped samples were obtained from a solid state reaction of MoO₃ and Nd₂O₃ in concentrations from 0.2 to 20.0 at%. The prepared samples were analyzed as a function of the temperature through X-Ray diffraction (XRD), the chemical composition of the resultant material was studied using Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS). The results of the XRD show that the MoO₃ doped with Nd in concentrations of 0.2 and 1.0% atomic grows iso-structurally with α-MoO₃. Moreover, MoO₃ doped with Nd³⁺ in concentrations of 5.0, 10.0 and 20.0% atomic exhibits the monoclinic phase Mo₉O₂₆. Finally, we determined that the values of the thermal expansion coefficient of MoO₃, doped and un-doped, differ by less than 3%.     

The practical research on flood risk analysis based on IIOSM and fuzzy α-cut technique

Flood disasters are one of the most common and destructive natural hazards all over the world. In this paper, improved interior-outer-set model (IIOSM) based on information diffusion theory is introduced in detail to assess flood risk in an effort to obtain accurate analytical results that represent the actual situation. Then fuzzy α-cut technique is applied to calculate the fuzzy expected values under the possibility–probability distribution (PPD) calculated by IIOSM. Taking the value of α throughout the interval (0, 1], we correspondingly get access to the conservative risk value (R_C) and venture risk value (R_V). Selection of α, R_C and R_V is dependent on present technical conditions and risk preference of different people. To illustrate the procedure of IIOSM and fuzzy α-cut technique, we employ them respectively to analyze the flood risk in Sanshui District, located in the center of Guangdong province in China. The results, such as risk value estimations, as well as fuzzy expected values, i.e. R_C and R_V under the given α-cut level, can reflect the flood risk quite accurately. The outcomes of this research based on IIOSM and fuzzy α-cut technique offer new insights to carry out an efficient way for various flood protection strategies.     

Theoretical investigation on the optical absorption spectra and local lattice structure of α-Al2O3:Yb crystals

In this paper, the optical absorption spectra of Yb³⁺ in the α-Al₂O₃ crystal are reasonably explained by using the superposition model and local lattice structure analysis. Based on these studies, we find that the local geometrical structure around the Yb³⁺ ions possesses an elongated trigonal distortion above the O²⁻-triangle and a compressed trigonal distortion in the lower one.
