Analysis of dissolution profiles of iron,zinc, and manganese from complex dietary supplements by ion chromatography and chemometrics

Four commercially available formulations containing iron, zinc, and manganese were subjected to dissolution profile testing during 60 min and the dissolution was analyzed by ion chromatography. The obtained curves were analyzed directly by principal component analysis (PCA). The main trend (87.1% of variance) was connected with average dissolution percentage over the investigated time. The second component (11.2% of variance) is connected with shape of dissolution profile. All metals behave in the similar way and the differences were connected with excipients. An additional fit was completed on 12 kinetic models: first order kinetics (4 variants), Higuchi (2 variants), Hixson-Crowell (2 variants), Korsemeyer-Peppas, Logistic (2 variants), Peppas-Sahlin, Quadratic (2 variants), Weibull (3 variants), and Zero order kinetics (2 variants). The ranking of the fitting was performed by Akaike information criteria (AIC) values with additional PCA analysis on them, an approach presented in literature for the first time. The main trend (67.4% of variance) was connected with average fit. The second (14.8% of variance) is connected with differences of fitting ability to investigated dissolution curves. This methodology brought an overall look to trends and variances inside obtained data, both the profile shape and fitting ability to particular models.     

A New Criterion for Brittle-Ductile Transition of Polymer Blends

The T_c criterion was first used by S. Wu for characterizing the brittleductile (B-D) transition of N6/EPDM blends. But in this paper, a new criterion which is based on the stress analysis of blends is proposed to characterize the B-D transitions of blends, namely, A criterionV_(fc) and d_c are the critical volume fractions and particle size of dispersed particles in blends, respectively. For given blends, A is independent of the morphology of dispersed phase and is only the characteristic parameter of matrix. The B-D transitions of different blends, including polar N6/EPDM blends, nonpolar PP/EPDM blends and PE/CaCO_3 composites, were manipulated with A criterion and satisfactory results were obtained. In addition, a new master curve for the impact strength of PP/EPDM blends versus V_f~2/d was obtained. The results showed that A criterion is more suitable than T_c criterion for characterizing the B-D transition of blends.     

自发过程总熵判据的讨论式教学实践

将讨论式教学法的基本思想应用到物理化学的课堂教学中,对物理化学的教学难点--热力学自发过程总熵判据的适用条件问题进行了深入的讨论,最终归纳总结,得出重要结论：总熵判据只能用来判断过程的可逆性,不能直接判断过程的自发性。要想进一步判断过程的自发性质,须结合系统与环境之间交换的总功进行判断。通过讨论式教学实践,学生对热力学自发过程总熵判据的适用条件有了更加深入的理解,给后续课程的学习打下了良好的基础。     

Independence of Likelihood Ratio Criteria for Homogeneity of Several Populations

Let _i be an i-tb population with a probability density function f(· | _i ) with one dimensional unknown parameter _i = 1, 2, ... , k. Let n _i sample be drawn from each _i . The likelihood ratio criteria _j|(j–1) for testing hypothesis that the first j parameters are equal against alternative hypothesis that the first (j – 1) parameters are equal and the j-th parameter is different with the previous ones are defined, j = 2, 3, ... , k. The paper shows the asymptotic independence of _j|(j–1)'s up to the order 1/n under a hypothesis of equality of k parameters, where n is a number of total samples.     

Pointwise Hardy inequalities

If is an open set with the sufficiently regular boundary, then the Hardy inequality holds for and , where . The main result of the paper is a pointwise inequality , where on the right hand side there is a kind of maximal function. The pointwise inequality combined with the Hardy-Littlewood maximal theorem implies the Hardy inequality. This generalizes some recent results of Lewis and Wannebo.

     

Relationship between refined Griffith criterion and power laws for cracking

Rice [J. Mech. Phys. Solids 26 (1978) 61] proposes a refined Griffith criterion, at any local crack front, where G is the Irwin's energy release rate, γ is the surface free energy and is the rate of crack advance. The refined version implies that the entropy production inequality should holds locally rather than globally from the thermodynamic point of view. Within the irreversible thermodynamic framework developed by Rice [J. Mech. Phys. Solids 19 (1971) 433; Constitutive Equations in Plasticity, 1975, p. 23], it is revealed in this paper that the entropy production inequality holds for each internal variable if its rate is a homogeneous function in its conjugate force. It is further shown that widely-used power laws for crack growth are just certain homogeneous kinetic rate laws, so it is concluded that the power laws directly lead to the refined Griffith criterion.
