Silica powder obtained by sol-gel method as a support of organometallic vanadium catalyst for ethylene polymerization
2004
Sol-gel technique was employed to obtain the silica-type powder, which after modification procedure was applied as asupport of organometallic catalytic system for ethylene polymerization. The powder product was synthesized using hydrolysis and condensation of TEOS, catalyzed by ammonia. Obtained material and a reference support (commercial silica Davisil) were characterized to determine their particle size distributions, BET surface area, pore volume and diameter. Gas-phase adsorption of vanadium catalyst on analyzed support materials as well as adsorption from the solution in hexane were carried out. Both carrier materials were thermally pretreated prior catalytic systems syntheses and the…
The Hexameric Resorcinarene Capsule as a Brønsted Acid Catalyst for the Synthesis of Bis(heteroaryl)methanes in a Nanoconfined Space
2019
Herein, we show that the hexameric resorcinarene capsule C is able to catalyze the formation of bis(heteroaryl)methanes by reaction between pyrroles or indoles and carbonyl compounds (α-ketoesters or aldehydes) in excellent yields and selectivity. Our results suggest that the capsule can play a double catalytic role as a H-bond catalyst, for the initial activation of the carbonyl substrate, and as a Bronsted acid catalyst, for the dehydration of the intermediate alcohol.
A Continuous Approach to FETI-DP Mortar Methods: Application to Dirichlet and Stokes Problem
2013
In this contribution we extend the FETI-DP mortar method for elliptic problems introduced by Bernardi et al. [2] and Chacon Vera [3] to the case of the incompressible Stokes equations showing that the same results hold in the two dimensional setting. These ideas extend easily to three dimensional problems. Finally some numerical tests are shown as a conclusion. This contribution is a condensed version of a more detailed forthcoming paper. We use standard notation, see for instance [1].
ChemInform Abstract: Assignment of the Absolute Configuration and Total Synthesis of (+)-Caripyrin.
2015
The antifungal secondary metabolite (+)-caripyrin was studied by vibrational circular dichroism spectroscopy. Analysis of the recorded data, with the Boltzmann weighted-average of the spectra calculated at the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level of theory for all relevant conformers, unequivocally proved the (R,R)-configuration for the dextrorotatory natural product. Based on this finding, a short enantioselective synthesis of (+)-caripyrin was developed.
Physics meets Bohemia Einstein in Bohemia Michael D. Gordin Princeton University Press, 2020. 360 pp.
2020
In Einstein in Bohemia, Michael Gordin seeks to illuminate the elusive significance of Einstein9s brief tenure in Prague, both for the biography of the famous physicist and for the cultural history of Bohemia. An expert in the history of modern physical sciences and of Russian, European, and American history, Gordin pulls together a wealth of information about the wider context of Einstein9s stay in Prague and of the cultural, scientific, and political history of Bohemia.
Liftings and extensions of operators in Brownian setting
2020
We investigate the operators T on a Hilbert space H which have 2-isometric liftings S with the property S ∗ S H ⊂ H . We show that such liftings are closely related to some extensions of T, which h...
Theoretical Study of the Electronic Spectrum of trans-Stilbene
1997
The electronic spectrum of trans-stilbene in the energy range up to 6 eV has been studied using multiconfigurational second-order perturbation theory (CASPT2). The study includes a geometry determination of the ground state. In all, 12 singlet and one triplet excited states were studied. The calculated spectrum makes it possible to assign the valence excited singlet states corresponding to the three bands observed in the low-energy region of the one-photon absorption spectrum. The most intense feature of the calculated spectrum corresponds to the 11Ag → 21Bu transition at 4.07 eV. The weakly allowed 11Bu state was found 0.3 eV below 21Bu. Transition to the 31Ag state, computed at 4.95 eV, i…
Surrogate-assisted evolutionary multiobjective shape optimization of an air intake ventilation system
2017
We tackle three different challenges in solving a real-world industrial problem: formulating the optimization problem, connecting different simulation tools and dealing with computationally expensive objective functions. The problem to be optimized is an air intake ventilation system of a tractor and consists of three computationally expensive objective functions. We describe the modeling of the system and its numerical evaluation with a commercial software. To obtain solutions in few function evaluations, a recently proposed surrogate-assisted evolutionary algorithm K-RVEA is applied. The diameters of four different outlets of the ventilation system are considered as decision variables. Fr…
Numerical Recovery of Source Singularities via the Radiative Transfer Equation with Partial Data
2013
The inverse source problem for the radiative transfer equation is considered, with partial data. Here we demonstrate numerical computation of the normal operator $X_{V}^{*}X_{V}$ where $X_{V}$ is the partial data solution operator to the radiative transfer equation. The numerical scheme is based in part on a forward solver designed by F. Monard and G. Bal. We will see that one can detect quite well the visible singularities of an internal optical source $f$ for generic anisotropic $k$ and $\sigma$, with or without noise added to the accessible data $X_{V}f$. In particular, we use a truncated Neumann series to estimate $X_{V}$ and $X_{V}^{*}$, which provides a good approximation of $X_{V}^{*…
