Infrared spectra of evolved stars are generally dominated by the radiation from their circumstellar shells. M stars are characterized by the 10 μm emission feature from silicate dust grains, while C stars by the 11 μm SiC band. However, some C stars have been found to show the 10 μm feature indicating the oxygen-rich property of their circumstellar dust (Willems and de Jong 1986, Little-Marenin 1986).In order to investigate the gas phase chemistry of the circumstellar envelopes around these peculiar objects, we have observed radio molecular lines of H2O, SiO, HCN, and CO towards three of them BM Gem (C5, 4J), V778 Cyg (C4, 5J), and EU And (C4, 4).

For a decade and a half, nitric oxide (NO) has been implicated in memory processing across a wide variety of tasks and species. Comparatively, endogenously produced carbon monoxide (CO) has lagged behind as a target for research into the pharmacological processes underlying memory formation. This is surprising given that CO is formed in memory-associated brain regions, is structurally similar to NO, and along with NO can activate guanylate cyclase, which is an enzyme well characterized in memory processing. Nevertheless, a limited number of electrophysiological investigations have concluded that endogenous CO is involved in long-term potentiation. Although not evidence for a role in memory per se, these studies did point to the possible importance of CO in memory processing. In addition, there is now evidence to suggest that endogenous CO is important in avoidance learning and possible for other tasks. This review therefore seeks to promote endogenous CO as a potentially important target for memory research.

An extensive diversity of industrial processes captivate the transfer of heat energy. An extensive task for industrial necessity throughout every industrial efficiency, heat and mass transfer taking place from one process stream to another. These processes provide a source for energy recovery and process fluid heating/cooling. In the present investigation we study the Boger nanofluid flow with carbon nanotubes over a riga plate. Borger nanofluid model is used to characterize the behavior of the fluids having activation energy (E), Solvent fraction parameter (β1), and ratio of relaxation time parameter (λ1) over a riga plate. The modeled boundary layer conservation equations are renovated to non-linear coupled ordinary differential equations by a suitable transformation. Python programming language with bvp solver was adopted to obtain numerical solutions of the resulting equations by using the Runge–Kutta method along with shooting technique. This analysis reveals many significant physical aspects of flow and heat transfer. Estimations are achieved over thermo-physical parameter with single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) and multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT).

L’objectif du programme expérimental développé dans ce travail est d'étudier la possibilité d'utiliser des joncs de carbone pour renforcer les poutres en béton armé par la technique de NSM (Near Surface Mounted reinforcement) qui consiste à sceller le jonc de carbone dans une engravure déjà préparée sur la surface de la poutre à renforcer. Nous étudions quelques propriétés physiques et mécaniques des joncs de carbone et leur interaction avec le béton. Une étude couplée des deux interfaces entre le jonc de carbone et le matériau de scellement et entre ce matériau et le béton ancien est réalisée. Le comportement global de poutres renforcées par cette technique et soumises à une flexion quatre points classique ainsi qu’une configuration en console est étudié. Nous effectuons une importante étude paramétrique de quelques variables. Une comparaison entre les résultats expérimentaux et des calculs analytiques et par Eléments Finis des états limites principaux ainsi que du moment de ruine des poutres suivant les différents modes de rupture, est effectuée. Enfin, le calcul de la raideur des poutres renforcées lors de cycles de chargement et de déchargement fait l’objet d’une étude couplée analytique et par Eléments Finis. Les résultats expérimentaux montrent que le renforcement des poutres par cette technique s’avère très satisfaisant
The aim of the experimental program developed in this work is to investigate the possibility of using Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) rods to strengthen concrete structural members with the Near Surface Mounted reinforcement (NSM) technique. We study some physical and mechanical proprieties of CFRP rods and their interaction with the concrete. Bonding at the interface between the CFRP rod and the filling material and that between the filling material and the old concrete is studied. The global behavior both of reinforced concrete beams strengthened by NSM technique and subjected to flexure and of cantilever beams is investigated. We make an important parametric study of some variables. The experimental results are compared with the analytical and finite–element calculations of the principal limit states. The failure moments of beams in various failure modes are also compared. Finally, the stiffness of the strengthened beams during loading and unloading cycles is studied by analytical and Finite Element methods. The experimental results indicate that strengthening concrete structural members with the Near Surface Mounted reinforcement technique gives very satisfactory results

The sorption of nonionic surfactant oxyethylated alcohols Lutensol AO – 10 and Cu (II) ions on activated carbon AquaSorb HS has been investigated. The kinetic investigations have revealed that the sorption of nonionic surfactant was the sufficiently slow process and required 7 days to reach equilibrium. The equilibrium sorption of the Cu (II) ions was attained within 24 h. ...

Cette thèse s’intéresse à l’efficacité des renforcements par matériaux composites à base de fibres carbone (CFRP : Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer) par la technique NSM (Near Surface Mounted ; réalisation d’engravures sur la surface du béton) pour requalifier les structures corrodées. Elle est composée d’une partie expérimentale et d’une partie modélisation par la méthode des Eléments Finis (EF). La technique NSM consiste à réaliser des engravures sur la surface du béton où sont insérés les joncs de carbone rendus adhérents par remplissage d’une résine époxy. Les éléments étudiés dans cette thèse sont des poutres en béton armé naturellement corrodées pendant 28 années d’exposition à un environnement salin. Dans cette thèse, nous nous intéressons aux modes de rupture et à la capacité portante à la fois : en flexion et à l’effort tranchant. Le degré de corrosion a été mesuré par la méthode de perte de masses locales après la fin des essais mécaniques sur les barres longitudinales ainsi que sur les cadres d’effort tranchant. La première partie présente les résultats expérimentaux obtenus sur une poutre corrodée et une poutre témoin réparée ou renforcée en flexion par un jonc de carbone de 6 mm de diamètre inséré dans la surface tendue par la technique NSM. Les essais ont pour objectif d’étudier la capacité portante, la flèche à la ruine, la rigidité en flexion et le mode de ruine des deux poutres afin de vérifier l’efficacité du renforcement ou de la réparation... La seconde partie présente les résultats expérimentaux obtenus sur des poutres courtes permettant de mettre en avant la résistance vis à vis de l’effort tranchant. A partir des poutres longues testées dans la première partie, deux poutres courtes corrodées et deux poutres courtes témoins sont extraites. Une poutre courte corrodée et une poutre témoin sont réparées ou renforcées en flexion et une poutre corrodée et une poutre témoin sont en plus réparées ou renforcées vis-à-vis à l’effort tranchant par des joncs de carbone de 6 mm de diamètre par la technique NSM. L’éventuel glissement des armatures longitudinales sur les appuis a été mesuré durant les essais de flexion 3 points. Les résultats expérimentaux montrent que la corrosion des armatures longitudinales et la corrosion des cadres d’effort tranchant n’affectent pas le mode de ruine et modifient très peu les capacités portantes. La réparation vis-à-vis de l’effort tranchant avec la technique NSM change le mode de ruine de la formation d’une fissure diagonale due au glissement des barres d’acier tendues, à la formation d’une large fissure de flexion à mi-travée suivie de l’écrasement du béton comprimé... La troisième partie s’intéresse à la modélisation par la méthode de modélisation par EF du comportement global en flexion. Une première approche 2D est élaborée avec le code FEMIX développé à l’Université de Minho par le professeur Barros. Cinq poutres sont modélisées : 3 corrodées dont une réparée par la technique NSM et 2 témoins dont une renforcée par la technique NSM. La modélisation par EF donne de bons résultats sauf dans le cas de la poutre corrodée réparée dont le mode de ruine est non conventionnel (séparation du béton d’enrobage)... La quatrième et dernière partie est consacrée à l’étude numérique des poutres courtes. Quatre poutres sont modélisées : 2 corrodées réparées dont une réparée vis-à-vis de l’effort tranchant et 2 témoins renforcées dont une renforcée vis-à-vis de l’effort tranchant. La modélisation par EF est faite en 3D en utilisant le code FEMIX. Les résultats numériques reproduisent correctement les aspects importants du comportement force-flèche ainsi que les modes de fissuration à la ruine pour les poutres réparées vis-à-vis de l’effort tranchant ou non
The thesis is composed of an experimental and Finite Element Modeling (FEM) study, investigating the effectiveness of the (Near Surface Mounted CFRP rods technique (NSM)) on the corroded RC beams. In the NSM technique, the CFRP rods are placed inside pre-cut grooves and are bonded to the concrete with epoxy adhesive. The thesis studies the failure modes and the mechanical performance of the corroded RC beams due to steel corrosion and finally, the prediction of the mechanical behaviour of the repaired corroded RC beams using nonlinear models based on FE numerical modelling. The corroded RC beams studied here in this study were exposed to natural corrosion for more than 28 years. The first part includes experimental results which were obtained on two beams: (one corroded and one control beams, both are 3 metres long) repaired or strengthened in bending with one 6-mm-diameter NSM CFRP rod. The beams were tested in a three-point bending test up to failure. Overall stiffness was studied. Ultimate capacity, ductility and failure modes were also reviewed. Finally some comparisons were made between repaired and non-repaired beams in order to assess the effectiveness of the NSM technique... The second part discusses the experimental results of two short corroded beams, which were tested under three-point bending until failure, along with two short control beams of the same characteristics (age, length and cross-section). One RC corroded deep beam was repaired in bending and the other one was repaired in both bending and shear with NSM CFRP rods. After the beams had been tested up to failure, the main steel bars and the stirrups were extracted from the beams and the loss of mass was measured and plotted for both the longitudinal and transverse reinforcement. The slip of tensile reinforcement at the end of the beams was also measured during the tests. The effect of corrosion and the effect of repairing with CFRP NSM rods in bending and shear on the behaviour of deep beams are discussed. Experimental results showed that both corroded and control deep beams repaired only in bending failed due to shear failure mode(diagonal tension failure), while corroded and control beams repaired in both bending and shear failed due to concrete crushing. The test results also showed that the corrosion of both longitudinal and transversal reinforcement hardly modified the mechanical response of deep beams... The third part shows experimental results and numerical modelling results of 2D finite element model using the FEMIX computer code were obtained on five, 3-metre-long beams: three corroded RC beams and two control beams. Two beams, one corroded and one control were repaired or strengthened in bending with NSM CFRP rod and were then tested in three-point bending up to failure. The FE numerical modelling results from FEMIX were compatible with the experimental ones except for the repaired corroded beam, for which a three-dimensional model using the commercial software ABAQUS was required... Finally, the last part presents 3D numerical modelling results in terms of load-deflection curves, and failure modes for 4 short corroded beams: two corroded beams and two control beams, half of the beams were let repaired or strengthened in bending only with NSM CFRP rods while the others were repaired or strengthened in both bending and shear with NSM technique. Results showed that the FE model was able to capture the main aspects of the experimental load-deflection curves of the RC beams, moreover it has presented the experimental failure modes and FE numerical modelling crack patterns and both gave similar results for both shear-repaired and non-shear repaired beams, three dimensional crack patterns were produced for shear-repaired beams in order to investigate the splitting cracks occurred at the middle of the beams and near the support

Both 1 and 3 are inexpensive prochiral starting materials.

Alexandre Alexakis of the University of Geneva found (Adv. Synth. Cat. 2008, 350, 1090) a chiral Cu catalyst that mediated the enantioselective coupling of 3 with Grignard reagents such as 4 . The π-allyl Pd complex derived from 6 is also prochiral. Barry M. Trost of Stanford University showed (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2008, 47, 3759) that with appropriate ligand substitution, coupling with the phthalimide 7 proceeded to give 8, readily convertible to (-)-oseltamivir (Tamiflu) 9, in high ee. Jonathan W. Burton of the University of Oxford found (Chem Commun. 2008, 2559) that Mn(OAc)3 -mediated cyclization of 10 delivered the lactone 12 with high diastereocontrol. John Montgomery of the University of Michigan observed (Organic Lett. 2008, 10, 811) that the Ni-catalyzed cyclization of 12 also proceeded with high diastereocontrol. Ken Tanaka of the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology combined (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2008, 47, 1312) Rh-catalyzed ene-yne cyclization of 14 with catalytic ortho C-H functionalization, leading to 16 in high ee. Eric N. Jacobsen of Harvard University designed (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2008, 47, 1469) a chiral Cr catalyst for the intramolecular carbonyl ene reaction, that converted 17 to 18 in high ee. Using a stoichiometric prochiral Cr carbene complex 20 and the enantiomerically-pure secondary propargylic ether 19, Willam D. Wulff of Michigan State University prepared (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2008, 130, 2898) a facially-selective Cr-complexed o -quinone methide intermediate, that cyclized to 21 with high ee. A variety of methods have been put forward for the transition metal-mediated construction of polycarbocyclic systems. One of the more powerful is the enantioselective Rh-catalyzed stitching of the simple substrate 22 into the tricycle 23 devised (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2008, 130, 3451) by Takanori Shibata of Waseda University. Inter alia, ozonolysis of 23 delivered the cyclopentane 24 containing two all-carbon quaternary centers.

Procter of the University of Manchester showed (Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 5446) that the SmI2 -mediated cyclization of 6 proceeded with high diastereocontrol. F. Dean Toste of the University of California, Berkeley, developed (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2011, 133, 5500) a gold catalyst for the enantioselective cyclization of 8 to 9. Jon D. Rainier of the University of Utah found (Org. Lett. 2011, 13, 700) that the readily prepared diazo ester 10 cyclized smoothly to 11. Brian M. Stoltz of Caltech rearranged (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2011, 50, 2756) 12, prepared by enantioselective allylation, to the cyclopentene 13. Tushar Kanti Chakraborty of the Indian Institute of Chemical Technology cyclized (Tetrahedron Lett. 2011, 52, 1709) the epoxy ester 14 to the cyclopentanol 15. Zhi-Xiang Yu of Peking University found (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2011, 50, 2144) that a BINOL-derived catalyst cyclized 16 to 17. Related transition metal-mediated cyclizations (not illustrated) have been reported (Org. Lett. 2011, 13, 1517, 2630). Pher G. Andersson of Uppsala University reduced (Chem. Commun. 2011, 47, 3989) the inexpensive Birch reduction product 18 to give, after hydrolysis, the cyclohexanone 19 in high ee. Silas P. Cook of the University of Indiana found (Org. Lett. 2011, 13, 1904) conditions for the allylation of the Zn enolate resulting from enantioselective conjugate addition to cyclohexenone 20. This approach worked for other ring sizes as well. Weiping Tang of the University of Wisconsin effected (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2011, 50, 1346) regioselective cyclocarbonylation of 22 to give the cyclohexanone 23. Ken Tanaka of the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology devised (Angew. Chem. Int.

Ed. 2011, 50, 911) 27 with 28 to give, after methanolysis, the cycloheptanone 29 in high ee.

Debabrata Maiti of the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay found (Chem. Commun. 2012, 48, 4253) that the relatively inexpensive Pd(OAc)2 effectively catalyzed the decarbonylation of an aldehyde 1 to the hydrocarbon 2. Hui Lou of Zhejiang University used (Adv. Synth. Catal. 2011, 353, 2577) a Mo catalyst to effect reduction of the ester 3 to the hydrocarbon 4, with retention of all the skeletal carbons. Jon T. Njardarson of the University of Arizona showed (Chem. Commun. 2012, 48, 7844) that the allylic ether 5 could be reduced with high regioselectivity to give 6. José Barluenga and Carlos Valdés of the Universidad de Oviedo effected (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2012, 51, 5950) the direct conversion of a ketone 7 to the azide 8. Although no cyclic ketones were included in the examples, there is a good chance that this will be the long-sought diastereoselective reduction of a cyclohexanone to the equatorial amine. Hideo Nagashima of Kyushu University reduced (Chem. Lett. 2012, 41, 229) the acid 9 directly to the aldehyde 1 using a ruthenium catalyst with the bis silane 10. Georgii I. Nikonov of Brock University described (Adv. Synth. Catal. 2012, 354, 607) a similar Ru-mediated silane reduction of an acid chloride to the aldehyde. Professor Nagashima used (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2012, 51, 5363) his same Ru catalyst to reduce the ester 11 to the protected amine 12. Shmaryahu Hoz of Bar-Ilan University used (J. Org. Chem. 2012, 77, 4029) photostimulation to promote the SmI2-mediated reduction of a nitrile 13 to the amine 14. Bakthan Singaram of the University of California, Santa Cruz effected (J. Org. Chem. 2012, 77, 221) the same transformation with InCl3/NaBH4. David J. Procter of the University of Manchester described (J. Org. Chem. 2012, 77, 3049) what promises to be a general method for activating Sm metal to form SmI2. Mark T. Hamann of the University of Mississippi directly reduced (J. Org. Chem. 2012, 77, 4578) the nitro group of 15 to the alkylated amine 16. Cleanly oxidizing aromatic methyl groups to the level of the aldehyde without overoxidation has been a challenge.

Of the naturally occurring nonradioactive elements, hafnium was the next to last to be discovered, preceding the discovery of rhenium by 3 years. It can boast of holding a very strange record: the number of claims for its discovery over the years is unequaled by any other element. This record was the cause of frustration for many scientists who, over the years, took turns in attempts to isolate it. The reason that hafnium remained undiscovered until 1922 lay not so much in that its presence in nature (long known to be quite scarce) wasn’t looked for, but in its peculiar chemical properties that bound it up intimately with zirconium. Toward the end of the 18th century, Martin Heinrich Klaproth melted some forms of yellow-green and red zirconium with sodium hydroxide and then digested the residue several times with hydrochloric and sulfuric acids to eliminate the extraneous silicon. The solution, thought to contain a number of elements, produced, upon addition of potassium carbonate, a generous precipitate. The oxide that Klaproth collected did not seem to belong to any known substance, and he called it terra zirconia. With the passing of the years, he and many other chemists, among them the renowned Jons Jacob Berzelius, determined the elemental composition of zircon and of its correlative minerals. Far from being simply ZrSiO4, zircon contained traces of iron, aluminum, nickel, cobalt, lead, bismuth, manganese, lithium, sodium, zinc, calcium, magnesium, and uranium and small amounts of the rare earths. Some impurities persistently resisted separation from zirconium oxide or zirconia and were taken erroneously for oxides of new elements (new earths). In 1825, Johann Friedrich August Breithaupt (1791–1873) reported the presence of a new element, ostranium, isolated from ostranite, a mineral similar to zircon. Twenty years later, the Swedish chemist, mineralogist, and metallurgist Lars Fredrik Svanberg (1805–78) announced the discovery of a new element. In his publication of 1845, he asserted that the zirconium oxide obtained from a variety of Siberian, Norwegian, and Indian zircon samples was in reality composed of two earths: one, zirconia, already noted, and another unknown earth.

Jin K. Cha of Wayne State University described (J. Org. Chem. 2009, 74, 5528) the diastereoselective intramolecular cyclopropanation of nitriles with homoallylic alcohols such as 1 . Valery V. Fokin of Scripps/La Jolla found (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2009, 131, 18034) that the diazoimine derived from 4 could add with high enantioselectivity to aryl alkenes, including styrene 5. Andreas Gansäuer of the University of Bonn optimized (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2009, 48 , 8882; Tetrahedron 2009, 65, 10791) the Ti catalyst to enable efficient cyclization of substrates such as 7 to the corresponding cyclobutanes. F. Dean Toste of the University of California, Berkeley, devised (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2009, 131, 9178) a gold catalyst for the enantioselective ring expansion of a prochiral allene such as 9 to the cyclobutanone 10. David J. Procter of the University of Manchester developed (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2009, 131, 15467) the SmI2 -mediated cyclization of a lactone such as 11 to the cyclopentanone 12. Shigeki Matsunaga and Masakatsu Shibasaki of the University of Tokyo designed (Chem. Commun. 2009, 5138) a Ni catalyst for the enantioselective condensation of 13 with formaldehyde. Some acyclic β-keto esters could also be hydroxymethylated with high enantiocontrol. Darren J. Dixon, also of the University of Manchester, devised (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2009, 131, 9140) a Cu catalyst for the enantioselective Conia cyclization of 15 to 16 . K. C. Nicolaou, also of Scripps/La Jolla, reported (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2009, 48, 6293) a Rh catalyst for the related cyclization of 17 to 18. Ryo Shintani and Tamio Hayashi of Kyoto University showed (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2009, 131, 13588) that a Rh catalyst could effect enantioselective conjugate addition of a tetraaryl borate even to a 3-methyl cyclohexenone 19, to establish the cyclic quaternary center. Alexandre Alexakis of the University of Geneva established (Chem. Commun . 2009, 3868) that with the easily ionized allylic bromide 21, Cu-mediated coupling with the alkyl Grignard 22 proceeded with substantial asymmetric induction. Jon D. Rainier of the University of Utah devised (Organic Lett. 2009, 11, 38774) conditions for effecting Ti-mediated intramolecular metathesis between an alkene and a lactam carbonyl, giving the cyclic enamide 24.
