New developments in the field of piezothermal analysis

The solid transitions of C₂₁, C₂₃ and C₂₅ n-paraffins are examined from a piezothermal point of view. The paper is divided into two parts. The first is a report of the main features of a piezothermal analyzer when pressure scanning allows the continuous record of the expansivity as a function of pressure up to 5 Kilobars. Small samples are required and the scanning speeds vary from 0.3 to 16 Kilobars per hour. The second part describes the experimental procedure appropriate for solid state determinations. The resulting piezothermograms are presented and entropies of transformation are determined. A model allows a crude statistical approach giving the entropies of transformation with the correct order of magnitude. Problems related with phase transformations under a shearing stress are considered.

Zusammenfassung Feststoffumwandlungen bei C₂₁, C₂₃ und C₂₅ n-Paraffinen wurden unter dem Gesichtspunkt der Piezowärme untersucht. Im ersten Teil vorliegender Arbeit werden die Haupteigenschaften eines piezothermischen Analysators beschrieben, bei dem durch Druck-Scanning die kontinuierliche Aufzeichnung des Ausdehnungsvermögens als Punktion des Druckes bis zu 5 kbar ermöglicht wird. Es werden nur kleine Proben benötigt, die Scanning-Geschwindigkeit variiert zwischen 0,3 und 16 kbar/h. Der zweite Teil beschreibt das geeignete experimentelle Verfahren zur Feststoffzustandsbestimmung. Die erhaltenen Piezothermogramme werden dargestellt und die Entropien der Umwandlung bestimmt. Ein Modell liefert eine grobe statistische Näherung, die die Entropien der Umwandlung in der richtigen Grö\enordnung liefert. Probleme in Zusammenhang mit Phasenumwandlungen bei Scherbeanspruchungen werden betrachtet.

     

Determination of tributyltin oxide in coastal marine sediments and mussels by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry

We have devised a new method for bis(tributyltin)oxide (TBTO) determination in marine sediments and mussels. This technique involves an n-hexane/methylene chloride mixture extraction and extract purification with a sodium hydroxide wash in order to eliminate interfering compounds. TBTO is then extracted again by nitric acid and converted into an inorganic tin species; the analysis has been effected using Zeeman graphite furnace-atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The method detection limit for the matrices examined is 0.004 μg TBTO g^?1 (wet weight) and is sufficient for the analysis in real samples. The percentage recovery of TBTO from sediments and mussels samples is higher than 85% and 95% respectively. This method has been applied to TBTO level determination in sediments and mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) sampled in the harbour area in Taranto, where mussel culture activities are much developed; the TBTO levels obtained in sediments and mussels were in the range 15-47 ng g^?1 (wet weight) and 11-30 ng g^?1 (wet weight) respectively. Such values are comparable with those found in other harbour areas in the Mediterranean Sea.     

Cyclic reduction and FACR methods for piecewise hermite bicubic orthogonal spline collocation

Cyclic reduction and Fourier analysis-cyclic reduction (FACR) methods are presented for the solution of the linear systems which arise when orthogonal spline collocation with piecewise Hermite bicubics is applied to boundary value problems for certain separable partial differential equations on a rectangle. On anN×N uniform partition, the cyclic reduction and Fourier analysis-cyclic reduction methods requireO(N ²log₂ N) andO(N ²log₂log₂ N) arithmetic operations, respectively.     

Radical copolymerization of 2‐trifluoromethylacrylic monomers. II. Kinetics,monomer reactivities,and penultimate effect in their copolymerization with norbornenes and vinyl ethers

Radical copolymerizations of electron‐deficient 2‐trifluoromethylacrylic (TFMA) monomers, such as 2‐trifluoromethylacrylic acid and t‐butyl 2‐trifluoromethylacrylate (TBTFMA), with electron‐rich norbornene derivatives and vinyl ethers with 2,2′‐azobisisobutyronitrile as the initiator were investigated in detail through the analysis of the kinetics in situ with ¹H NMR and through the determination of the monomer reactivity ratios. The norbornene derivatives used in this study included bicyclo[2.2.1]hept‐2‐ene (norbornene) and 5‐(2‐trifluoromethyl‐1,1,1‐trifluoro‐2‐hydroxylpropyl)‐2‐norbornene. The vinyl ether monomers were ethyl vinyl ether, t‐butyl vinyl ether, and 3,4‐dihydro‐2‐H‐pyran. Vinylene carbonate was found to copolymerize with TBTFMA. Although none of the monomers underwent radical homopolymerization under normal conditions, they copolymerized readily, producing a copolymer containing 60–70 mol % TFMA. The copolymerization of the TFMA monomer with norbornenes and vinyl ethers deviated from the terminal model and could be described by the penultimate model. The copolymers of TFMA reported in this article were evaluated as chemical amplification resist polymers for the emerging field of 157‐nm lithography. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Semidefinite optimization models for limit and shakedown analysis problems involving matrix spreads

Limit and shakedown analysis problems of Computational Mechanics lead to convex optimization problems, characterized by linear objective functions, linear equality constraints and constraints expressing the restrictions imposed by the material strength. It is shown that two important strength criteria, the Mohr–Coulomb and the Tresca criterion, can be represented as systems of semidefinite constraints, leading this way to semidefinite programming problems.     

The harmonic consistency index for the analytic hierarchy process

A new consistency measure, the harmonic consistency index, is obtained for any positive reciprocal matrix in the analytic hierarchy process. We show how this index varies with changes in any matrix element. A tight upper bound is provided for this new consistency measure when the entries of matrix are at most 9, as is often recommended. Using simulation, the harmonic consistency index is shown to give numerical values similar to the standard consistency index but it is easier to compute and interpret. In addition, new properties of the column sums of reciprocal matrices are obtained.     

The effect of multiple optima on the simple GA run-time complexity

Genetic algorithms are stochastic search algorithms that have been applied to optimization problems. In this paper we analyze the run-time complexity of a genetic algorithm when we are interested in one of a set of distinguished solutions. One such case occurs when multiple optima exist. We define the worst case scenario and derive a probabilistic worst case bound on the number of iterations required to find one of these multiple solutions of interest.
