Annihilator Ideal-Based Zero-Divisor Graphs Over Multiplication Modules

For a commutative ring R with identity, an ideal-based zero-divisor graph, denoted by Γ _I (R), is the graph whose vertices are {x ∈ R?I | xy ∈ I for some y ∈ R?I}, and two distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if xy ∈ I. In this article, we investigate an annihilator ideal-based zero-divisor graph by replacing the ideal I with the annihilator ideal Ann(M) for a multiplication R-module M. Based on the above-mentioned definition, we examine some properties of an R-module over a von Neumann regular ring, and the cardinality of an R-module associated with Γ _Ann(M)(R).     

Environmentally benign and highly regioselective ring opening of epoxides accelerated by ultrasound irradiation

Regioselective ring opening of aliphatic and aromatic epoxides with nitrogen heterocycles such as indoles and imidazoles was accelerated using an ultrasonic technique as a green approach. An optimized procedure with the catalyst of choice, MCM-41, represents a real alternative to the conventional reaction protocols owing to the catalyst recyclability, simplicity, green conditions and time-saving aspects.

Multifunctional liquid metal polymer composites

Liquid metal polymer composites are an emerging class of functional materials with potentially transformative impacts in wearable electronics, soft robotics, and human-computer interactions. By employing different processing methods, room temperature liquid metal inclusions can be embedded in insulating polymers like elastomers to incorporate functional properties of metals while the matrix remains soft and stretchable. These solid–liquid composites offer an interesting, yet complex multifunctional material system. In this review, we present an exclusive overview of the synthesis methods, structural and functional properties, and applications of gallium-based liquid metal polymer composites. Common methods to control the size of liquid metal inclusions and their interaction in polymers are discussed. Moreover, the effect of liquid metal microstructures on the overall properties of the composites is summarized. We also highlight the new trends in terms of material composition, printing process, and novel applications of liquid metal polymer composites in intelligent systems.     

Experiments with an interactive paired comparison simplex method for molp problems

In this paper, an interactive paired comparison simplex based method formultipleobjectivelinearprogramming (MOLP) problems is developed and compared to other interactive MOLP methods. Thedecisionmaker (DM)'s utility function is assumed to be unknown, but is an additive function of his known linearized objective functions. A test for utilityefficiency for MOLP problems is developed to reduce the number of efficient extreme points generated and the number of questions posed to the DM. The notion of strength ofpreference is developed for the assessment of the DM's unknown utility function where he can express his preference for a pair of extreme points as strong, weak, or almost indifferent. The problem of inconsistency of the DM is formalized and its resolution is discussed. An example of the method and detailed computational results comparing it with other interactive MOLP methods are presented. Several performance measures for comparative evaluations of interactive multiple objective programming methods are also discussed.All rights reserved.

Scaled‐up,selective and green synthesis of sulfoxides under mild conditions using (CeIII‐MoVI)Ox/aniline hybrid rods as an efficient catalyst

A novel hybrid material, (Ce^III‐Mo^VI)O_x/aniline, with rod‐like morphology is synthesized through a wet chemical method using Mo₃O₁₀(C₆H₅NH₃)₂.2H₂O nanowires as precursor. The synthesized materials are characterized by XRD, XPS, SEM, TEM, FTIR, Raman, UV–Vis, TGA, and elemental analysis. Also, their catalytic activities as a hybrid catalyst are tested in the selective oxidation of sulfides using hydrogen peroxide as a green oxidant. The proposed novel hybrid catalyst shows an excellent performance under green conditions at mild temperature. Furthermore, the scalability of the oxidation reaction is shown by making multi‐gram quantities at optimized conditions.     

Supported palladium oxide nanoparticles in Al-SBA-15 as an efficient and reusable catalyst for the synthesis of pyranopyrazole and benzylpyrazolyl coumarin derivatives via multicomponent reactions

An eco-friendly method for diversity-oriented synthesis of substituted dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole and benzylpyrazolyl coumarin derivatives has been achieved via one-pot and multicomponent reaction in the presence of PdO/Al-SBA-15 as an efficient and recyclable catalyst in H₂O/EtOH under reflux conditions. The significant merits of this method are wide scope, high yields of the desired products, short reaction times and simple workup procedure. In addition, this nanocatalyst was simply recovered and reused five times without significant loss in catalytic activity and also performance.
