用一系列氧化物，如Ｂ２Ｏ３，Ｓｂ２Ｏ３和ＭｇＯ，对ＨＺＳＭ－５沸石以及用Ｓｂ２Ｏ３对Ｈβ沸石进行改性。实验结果表明，这些氧化物可在沸石上自发单层分散且大部分分散的氧化物处于沸石孔内。用ＸＲＤ及ＸＰＳ方法测得它们的分散阈值。实验中发现，在甲苯烷基化反应中，对二甲苯选择性随氧化物含量增加而迅速提高；当氧化物在ＨＺＳＭ－５上的载量接近其分散阈值时，对二甲葳选择性达到最大，对某些体系可高达９５％左右，百在     

Ternary upper-critical-solution-temperature behavior in a blend system comprising poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide), poly(4-methyl styrene), and polystyrene

 Upper-critical-solution-temperature (UCST) behavior in a ternary blend of poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide), poly(4-methyl styrene), and polystyrene is reported. The as-cast ternary blend is immiscible at ambient conditions and comprises two different phases, and, however, turns into a miscible system above the “clarity point” ranging from 160 to 300 °C for different ternary compositions. The maximum clarity point is labeled as the UCST for the ternary system, which is about 295 °C. Above the clarity point, the originally immiscible ternary blend turned into one miscible phase. Owing to the thermodynamic UCST behavior and kinetic hindrance, the immiscible ternary polymer blend can be locked into a pseudo-miscible state if it is heated to a temperature above the clarity point followed by a rapid-cooling processing scheme. The quenched ternary blend can remain in a pseudo-miscible state as long as the service temperature does not exceed the glass-transition temperature of the blend.

聚N,N-二乙基丙烯酰胺溶液粘度的温度依赖性

通过自由基聚合,合成了线型聚N,N-二乙基丙烯酰胺（PDEA）,用乌氏粘度计测定并考察了该聚合物在四氢呋喃（THF）、H2O以及THF-H2O混合溶剂中粘度的温度依赖性.实验结果表明,PDEA 在上述三种溶剂中粘度的温度依赖性不同，PDEA-THF体系的相对粘度随温度升高而增大；PDEA-H2O体系以及PDEA-THF-H2O体系的相对粘度随温度升高而减小,且THF体积分数φTHF < 0.7时具有透明-白浊转变现象；对PDEA-THF-H2O体系,φTHF增加,透明-白浊转变温度升高,而当φTHF=0.7时,则观察不到透明-白浊转变现象.     

Relationship between the density of supercritical CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> + ethanol binary system and its critical properties

The dependent relation between temperature and pressure of supercritical CO₂+ ethanol binary system under the pressure range from 5 to 10 MPa with the variety of densities and mole fractions of ethanol that range from 0 to 2% was investigated by the static visual method in a constant volume. The critical temperature and pressure were experimentally determined simultaneously. The PTρ figures at different ethanol contents were described based on the determined pressure and temperature data, from which pressure of supercritical CO₂ + ethanol binary system was found to increase linearly with the increasing temperature. P-T lines show certain convergent feature in a specific concentration of ethanol and the convergent points shift to the region of higher temperature and pressure with the increasing ethanol compositions. Furthermore, the effect of density and ethanol concentration on the critical point of CO₂ + ethanol binary system was discussed in details. Critical points increase linearly with the increasing mole fraction of ethanol in specific density and critical points change at different densities. The critical compressibility factors Z_c of supercritical CO₂ + ethanol binary systems at different compositions of ethanol were calculated and Z _c -ρ figure was obtained accordingly. It was found from Z _c -ρ figure that critical compressibility factors of supercritical CO₂ unitary or binary systems decline linearly with the increasing density, by which the critical point can be predicted precisely.     

Analysis of critical points on the potential energy surface

A simple classification scheme is proposed for critical points, based only on rankr and signatures of the (n,n)-matrixG of harmonic force constants. The determination ofr ands, e.g. by the well-known factorizationG=L ^T gL (L: triangular matrix,g: diagonal matrix), has several theoretical as well as practical (computational) advantages over the inspection of eigenvalues ofG, so far used in quantum chemistry. The eigenvalues are sufficient butnot necessary for a classification whereas rank and signature are the only necessary and sufficient prerequisites for solving the task. For the purpose of presenting a working example, by calculating only a 2×2 torque constant matrix, it is shown that the coplanar ethylbenzene is unstable in the CNDO/2 picture.     

Surface free energies of styrene-acrylic acid copolymer plates prepared in various frames

Styrene (St)-acrylic acid (AA) copolymer plates were synthesized in the frames made of glass, aluminum (Al) and poly(difluoroethylene) (PDFE). Surface properties of the prepared copolymer plates were characterized with regard to critical surface tension ( _C ), chemical components by IR analysis and surface energies (total energy, _S ; dispersion force components, _S ^d ; polar component, _S ^p ; hydrogen bonding component, _S ^h ) and the following results were obtained.The _C values of the copolymer plates increased with AA content and also depended on the sort of the used frame. The increasing order of the _C values of the copolymer plates corresponded to those of the used frames, namely, PDFE frame < Al frame < Glass frame.The prepared copolymer plates with low AA contents (ca. 10 mol%) were enriched in the AA moiety in the surface layer regardless of the kind of the used frame.The total and the individual components of the surface free energies of the copolymer plates were largely affected by the property of the used frame. The glass frame gave the plate with higher _S ^h values suggesting preferential orientation of the polar site of AA component.     

Lipschitzian inverse functions,directional derivatives,and applications inC 1,1 optimization

The paper shows that Thibault's limit sets allow an iff-characterization of local Lipschitzian invertibility in finite dimension. We consider these sets as directional derivatives and extend the calculus in a way that can be used to clarify whether critical points are strongly stable inC ^1,1 optimization problems.Many fruitful discussions with colleagues D. Klatte and K. Tammer as well as with H. Th. Jongen and F. Nozicka have influenced the present investigations in a very constructive manner. For the original papers concerning the sets f(x; u), the author is indebted to Prof. L. Thibault.     

Monte carlo calculations of the conformal charge

The conformal charge is an important quantity which characterizes the nature of the two-dimensional phase transition. We report a first attempt to use a new numerical method to calculate the conformal charge. In this paper, we apply our method to the 2-dimensional, ⁴, continuous-spin Ising model. By varying the parameters in the Hamiltonian, one can change continuously from the known Gaussian limit to the Ising limit. It is well known that the critical points for these two systems are not in the same universality class. We study this behavior for the Gaussian model, the single-well ⁴ model, the border model, and the double-well ⁴ model for a large lattice. Our results, while giving a good general picture, are not so far sufficient to differentiate whether the non-Gaussian cases studied belong to the Ising model universality class or not. Further studies of other lattice sizes should serve to improve greatly our conclusions.     

Phenomenology of nonlocal cellular automata

Dynamical systems with nonlocal connections have potential applications to economic and biological systems. This paper studies the dynamics of nonlocal cellular automata. In particular, all two-state, three-input nonlocal cellular automata are classified according to the dynamical behavior starting from random initial configurations and random wirings, although it is observed that sometimes a rule can have different dynamical behaviors with different wirings. The nonlocal cellular automata rule space is studied using a mean-field parametrization which is ideal for the situation of random wiring. Nonlocal cellular automata can be considered as computers carrying out computation at the level of each component. Their computational abilities are studied from the point of view of whether they contain many basic logical gates. In particular, I ask the question of whether a three-input cellular automaton rule contains the three fundamental logical gates: two-input rules AND and OR, and one-input rule NOT. A particularly interesting edge-of-chaos nonlocal cellular automaton, the rule 184, is studied in detail. It is a system of coupled selectors or multiplexers. It is also part of the Fredkin's gate—a proposed fundamental gate for conservative computations. This rule exhibits irregular fluctuations of density, large coherent structures, and long transient times.     

A note on differentiability of the cluster density for independent percolation in high dimensions

The cluster density function of independent percolation in ad-dimensional lattice is considered. For eachn, it is shown that(p) has finitenth leftderivative at critical probabilityp _c ifd is sufficiently large. This result agrees with the Bethe lattice approximation, where thenth one-sided derivative of(p) is bounded atp _c for alln.
