What Is Its Real Existing Form?——Theoretical and Experimental Studies on 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole

1 INTRODUCTION The study of heterocyclic molecules with aroma- tic rings and their absorptions on metals is of con- siderable importance from both theoretical and te- chnological points of view. These molecules are in- teresting because of their applications as corrosion inhibitors and flotation collectors, and their abilities to form self-assembly layers[1]. 2-Mercaptobenzo- thiazole (C7H5NS2, in the following MBT) is an important heterocyclic molecule, which can be used as corrosion …     

Crystallographic report: Bis{[diacetyl‐bis(2,6‐isopropylphenylimine)]nickel(I)(µ‐chloro)}

The first α‐diimine nickel(I) complex having a chloro bridge is reported. The centrosymmetric dinuclear structure of {[ArN?C(Me)C(Me)?NAr]NiCl}₂[Ar?2,6?C₆H₃(i‐Pr)₂] features two chelating α‐diimine ligands and two bridged chlorine atoms, so that a distorted tetrahedral N₂Cl₂ coordination geometry for nickel results.

安培

安培(1775-1836)，法国物理学家，对数学和化学也有贡献．1775年1月22日生于里昂一个富商家庭．少年时就显出数学才能．他的父亲信奉卢梭的教育思想，供给他大量图书，令其走自学道路，于是他博览群书，吸取营养．卢梭关于植物学的著作燃起他对科学的热情，1802年他在布尔让——布雷斯中央学校任物理学和化学教授；1814年被选为帝国学院教学部成员；1819年主持巴黎大学哲学讲座；1824年担任法兰西学院实验物理学教授．1836年6月10日在巡视法国各大学途经马赛时逝世．终年61岁．     

Crystallographic report: catena‐Aqua(2,2′‐bipyrimidine)lithium(I) perchlorate

A lithium(I) coordination polymer has been formed from LiClO₄ and the 2,2′‐bipyrimidine (bpym) ligand in which each square pyramidal lithium(I) atom is coordinated in the basal plane by four nitrogen donor atoms derived from two bpym ligands and one water molecule at the apical position. These are connected into a layer structure via hydrogen‐bonding interactions involving the perchlorate anions. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Structural hierarchy of rock masses and the mechanisms of its formation

The formation mechanisms for the structural hierarchy in geological media are discussed. It is shown that the formation of such a hierarchy is caused by certain external and internal circumstances. The first ones consist in the fact that, because of external actions, the Earth’s poles continuously execute the translational and rotational motions responsible for a regular structure of rock fracture and for the appearance of the scale factor √2. The second ones consist in the fact that, under the action of many random factors and because of external actions, during the formation of geological media there appear dissipative structures and, hence, some self-similar fractal structures are formed.     

Performance of various activators in ethylene polymerization based on an iron(II) catalyst system

Ethylisobutylaluminoxane (EBAO) and its analogues were synthesized by a reaction between an triethylaluminum (Et₃Al)/triisobutylaluminum (i‐Bu₃Al) mixture and 4‐fluorobenzeneboronic acid, phenylboronic acid, or n‐butaneboronic acid and subsequent hydrolysis with water. They were used as cocatalysts in ethylene polymerization catalyzed by an iron complex {[(ArN?C(Me))₂C₅H₃N]FeCl₂, where Ar is 2,6‐diisopropylphenyl}. Polyethylene with a high molecular weight and a narrow molecular weight distribution was prepared with modified EBAOs, and the performance of the iron complex at high polymerization temperatures was greatly improved. The activators for the iron complex also affected the polymerization activity and the molecular weight of the resultant polyethylene. It was suggested that the stereo and electronic effects of the substitute groups of aluminoxane contributed to the improved performance of the new activators. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

NMR investigation of concentrated alumina and silica slurries

The longitudinal relaxation times (T₁) of water in concentrated silica and alumina slurries were measured as a function of solids content. It was shown that the results could be fit very well with a two-phase fast-exchange model between free and surface-bound water. As expected, values of T₁ for bound water were in the order of 20–2000 times lower than that for free water, indicating a higher effective viscosity of the surface-bound water. The strength of the interaction depended on the particular surface, and all of the aluminas examined interacted more strongly with water than the two silicas studied, which themselves differed considerably. The chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) removal rate of tantalum by silica slurries was shown to be directly correlated with the interaction parameters, derived from the NMR relation times rather than with total surface hydroxyl group concentration.

多元线性回归法在互联网网间结算中的应用

本文建立一个理论模型研究互联网互联结算的问题。文章利用多元线性回归法对互联网骨干网运营商(IBPs:Internet Backbone Providers)的网络价值进行评估,利用IBPs各自的网络价值对其交换速率进行加权,从而得出网络价值加权速率,依据这个速率进行结算既可以反映了每个网络对互联的贡献程度,又反映了在互联中对网络资源的被占用程度。     

A note on worst-case performance of heuristics for maintenance scheduling problems

We study a machine scheduling model in which job scheduling and machine maintenance activities have to be considered simultaneously. We develop the worst-case bounds for some heuristic algorithms, including a sharper worst-case bound of the SPT schedule than the results in the literature, and another bound of the EDD schedule.
