Temperature effects on surface activity and application in oxidation of toluene derivatives of CTAB-SDS with KMnO4

The γ_cmc values of CTAB-SDS decrease from 63.67 mN/m at 10‡C to 36.38 mN/m at 90‡C, slightly lower than those of either CTAB or SDS. Correspondingly, the CMC of CTAB-SDS decreases almost by half. The increase of surface activity of CTAB-SDS can be attributed to the relatively weak electrostatic interaction at high temperature, which is supported by the increase of solubility of CTAB-SDS with rise in temperature. Catalytic effect on oxidation of toluene derivatives with potassium permanganate follows the order CTAB-SDS > SDS > CTAB. This is not caused by the dissociative effect of CTAB-SDS with low surface activity at low temperature, as seen from the fact that almost all oxidative products can be retrieved for different toluene derivatives and surfactants by mimicking the conditions of reaction. In the emulsifications of toluene derivatives at 90‡C, the time that turbid water layers of surfactant solutions take to become clear is the same as that of the catalytic effect on oxidation of toluene derivatives. Thus, it can be inferred that surfactants can improve the oxidation yields of toluene derivatives by increasing the contact between two reacting phases.

Comparison of stimulated-emission-pumping fluorescence dip spectrometry and conventional fluorescence spectrometry in application to supersonic jet spectrometry

Summary A supersonic jet spectrum of 9,10-dichloroanthracene is measured by stimulated-emission-pumping fluorescence dip spectrometry and conventional fluorescence spectrometry. The performance obtained is compared for these spectrometric methods, providing same information concerned with the energy level of the ground state. The former is more preferential for measurement of a high-resolution spectrum, since the spectral resolution is determined by the linewidth of the dumping laser. On the other hand, the latter is more preferential for measurement with better sensitivity at the expense of the spectral resolution, since the fluorescence throughput can be improved by increasing the slit width of the monochromator.Dedicated to Professor Dr. Wilhelm Fresenius on the occasion of his 80th birthday     

Three-dimensional atom probe study of the segregation behaviour of Ni91Pt9 alloy after sputtering

To investigate local ordering and segregation phenomenon in a Ni91Pt9-alloy after sputtering and annealing a 3D optical atom probe (OAP) has been used. The specimen tips have been prepared from polycrystalline samples. To sputter the samples a separate preparation chamber with a scannable Ar-sputter-gun is connected to the OAP vessel. When necessary, the sample can be electrically heated to induce segregation and cure the altered layer. After a heat treatment of a Ni91 at. %Pt 9 at.% specimen at 1100 K the surface of a (111)-oriented specimen is enriched in platinum by a factor of two in relation to the bulk. The phenomenon of short-range ordering has been investigated on the surface and in the subsurface volume. A 3D reconstruction of this annealed NiPt specimen shows regions with high concentration of platinum that gives an indication at short-range ordering. Uniform sputtering of the tip without a heat treatment induces a decisive depletion of Pt on the surface and the following subatomic layers. The atom-probe results of specimens in thermal equilibrium are in close agreement to further surface sensitive results obtained from Ion Scattering Spectroscopy (ISS) and Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES).

Error analysis: a tool for selecting travel demand models

In developing travel demand models it is generally assumed that the base-year data used in developing the parameters, as well as the forecasted data to be used as independent variables for the design year, are of acceptable quality. The purpose of this paper is to present the application of error propagation theory in assesing the predictive quality of one type of travel demand forecasting model (multinomial logit models) and to demonstrate how error considerations can be used as a tool for identifying the optimal model. The general conclusions of this study are that: (1) it is indeed possible to quantify errors in dependent variables in logit models as a consequence of errors in independent variables; and (2) error consideration can be used as a tool for identifying the optimal model from a set of candidate models. Further research is recommended to develop better insights into the phenomenon of error propagation so that the consideration of errors can be a factor in decisions on model selection.

熔融LiCl及其急冷非晶键取向序的分子动力学模拟研究

本文进一步讨论了我们新近提出的等近邻数键球谐函数方法,并通过分子动力学模拟研究了熔融LiCl及其急冷过程。对计算机模拟各时间步产生的瞬态构型进行平均,计算了不同温度下键序Q_l谱.将模拟Q_l谱与线性组合模型Q_l谱比较,观察到模拟Q_l谱与含90％局部正四面体结构的组合模型十分相似,表明熔融Licl及其急冷非晶中局部键取向序明显倾向于正四面体序。急冷过程中不同温度下局部键取向序可用同一线性组合模型描述,但模型方差随模拟温度明显变化。方差随温度而降低,且在发生玻璃态转变时有一显著下降。不同温度下的键角分布也作了计算,观察到键角分布在109°(正四面体局部结构键角)附近且分布峰随温度升高而展宽,与键序Q_l得到的结论一致。
