Synthesis of 3-(1-Cyclohexenyl)-2-butanone via Environmentally Friendly Catalysts

We substituted several environmentally friendly catalysts which included HY and H- β zeolites, various cation-exchanged β zeolites, and solid-supported ferric chloride for conventional catalysts for the synthesis of 3-(1-cyclohexenyl)-2-butanone from the reaction of ethylidenecyclohexane with acetic anhydride at room temperature. HY zeolite was found to be the most effective for this reaction, and gave the acylated product in a 72% yield under the conditions of n (ethylidenecyclohexane)/ n (acetic anhydride)/ m (HY zeolite)=1 mmol/10 mmol/0 100 g, reaction temperature 25 ℃ and reaction time 2 h. The used HY zeolite can be recovered, regenerated and gave almost the same yield as the fresh one. The lifetime of the HY zeolite is over 80 h. The effect of different factors on the reaction has also been investigated.

Nanoscale mass sensing based on vibration of single-layered graphene sheet in thermal environments

Based on vibration analysis, single-layered graphene sheet （SLGS） with multiple attached nanoparticles is developed as nanoscale mass sensor in thermal environments. Graphene sensors are assumed to be in simplysupported configuration. Based on the nonlocal plate the- ory which incorporates size effects into the classical theory, closed-form expressions lot the frequencies and relative fre- quency shills of SLGS-based mass sensor are derived using the Galerkin method. The suggested model is justified by a good agreement between the results given by the present model and available data in literature. The effects of tem- perature difference, nonlocal parameter, the location of the nanoparticle and the number of nanoparticles on the relative frequency shift of the mass sensor are also elucidated. The obtained results show that the sensitivity of the SLGS- based mass sensor increases with increasing temperature difference.

Effect of nitrite intercalated Mg-Al layered double hydroxides on mortar durability under Cl−and SO_(4)^(2-) coexisting environment

The aim of this paper is to investigate the effect of nitrite intercalated Mg-Al layered double hydroxides(Mg-Al LDH-NO_(2))on mortar durability under the coexisting environment of Cl−and SO_(4)^(2-).Cl−and SO_(4)^(2-) binding properties of Mg-Al LDH-NO_(2) in simulated concrete pore solutions,Cl−and SO_(4)^(2-) diffusion properties of mortars with Mg-Al LDHNO 2 were examined.The steel corrosion and resistance of mortar against SO_(4)^(2-) attack were also evaluated.The results indicate that Mg-Al LDH-NO_(2) can effectively adsorb the Cl−and SO_(4)^(2-) in simulated concrete pore solution,and inhibit the diffusion of Cl−and SO_(4)^(2-) into cement mortars.The presence of SO_(4)^(2-) can greatly affect the uptake amount of Cl−,and there is a coupled effect of Cl−and SO_(4)^(2-) on their penetration into mortar specimens.In addition,Mg-Al LDH-NO_(2) can greatly upgrade the resistance of mortars against SO_(4)^(2-) attack and well prevent the steel from corrosion.However,Cl−will aggravate the SO_(4)^(2-) attack and SO_(4)^(2-) can initially decrease and then increase the steel corrosion.

Engineering Solutions towards Cost-Effective Sustainable Environment and Living

One important area where the development of economically viable products can improve the quality and comfort of human existence is natural ventilation inside a building. Despite the wide distribution of air pollutant sources, the concentration of indoor pollutants may be the dominant risk factor in relation to personal exposure, as most people spend an average of 87% and 6% of their time within enclosed rooms and vehicles, respectively. Under these circumstances, wind driven rotating ventilators, which use natural energy and are cheap to manufacture, install and maintain, can become very effective non-polluting means of alleviating the problems within enclosed spaces. The author has been pioneering design and performance studies of environment friendly products such as the rooftop ventilator for over a decade at the University of New South Wales in Australia. The purpose of this paper is to detail the basic working principles of this ventilator and the series of detailed experimental and numerical investigations that has been performed in the optimization of the rooftop ventilator in terms of performance with higher air mass extraction rate and improved safety in operation has been achieved. Findings from these studies have been incorporated in the design of ventilators that are now commercially produced and marketed throughout the world by CSR Edmonds Pry Ltd of Australia. The conduct and outcomes of these works form the basis of this keynote paper.

Genetic relationship of rapeseed yield-related traits revealed by elite lines under multiple environments

To provide a theoretical basis for further improvement of Brassica napus yield, additive dominance with additive - by - additive epistatic effects （ ADAA） genetic model and a 6 X 8 partial dial- lel cross design were used to analyze the genetic effects and correlations of five yield related traits of 14 excellent Brassica napus parental lines and their 46 and F2 populations. The results showed that silique density （SD） , siliques per plant （SPP） , seeds per silique （SPS） and thousand - seed weight （TSW） exhibited not only additive and dominant effects, but also significant epistatic effects. The dominant effects of all five yield - related traits were obviously greater than their additive effects and epistatic effects. Yield per plant （YPP） showed significant genetic correlation with SD, SPP and SPS, and the main component of the genetic correlation was the dominance correlation. SPP and SPS both showed a significant negative correlation with TSW. The SD of rapeseed was genetically correlated with all three components of yield to a certain extent, and there were different components of genetic effects positively correlated with the three yield components, indicating that SD is a potential trait to reconcile the conflict between TSW and SPP as well as SPS.

Seismic Evaluation of Reinforced Concrete Frames in the Harsh Environment Using Pushover Analysis

The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the seismic response of buildings of typical reinforced concrete frames when concrete starts to deteriorate gradually and to make a comparison between the base shear and the displacement at different stages of earthquake loading. Typical 5, 15, 20 and 30-storey reinforced concrete frames have been designed for seismicity according to the recently adopted seismic code in Abu Dhabi, ACI 318-08/IBC 2009 code. A pushover analysis has been performed to these four buildings by using SAP 2000. Twenty-four models have been created (6 models for each building) by decreasing the concrete strength gradually from 4000 psi (281 kg/cm2) to 1500 psi (105 kg/cm2). This is to simulate the effect of harsh environment on the strength of concrete in existing buildings.

A novel low-cost and environment-friendly cathode with large channels and high structure stability for potassium-ion storage

Potassium-ion batteries (KIBs) are promising candidates for large-scale energy storage due to the abundance of potassium and its chemical similarity to lithium.Nevertheless,the performances of KIBs are still unsatisfactory for practical applications,mainly hindered by the lack of suitable cathode materials.Herein,combining the strong inductive effect of sulphate and the feasible preparation of Fe^(2+)-containing compounds in oxalate system,a compound with novel architecture,K_(4)Fe_(3)(C_(2)O_(4))_(3)(SO_(4))_(2),has been identified as a lowcost and environmentally friendly cathode for stable potassium-ion storage.Its unique crystal structure possesses an unprecedented two-dimensional framework of triple layers,with 3.379Åinterlayer distance and large intralayer rings in the size of 4.576×6.846Å.According to first-principles simulations,such a configuration is favorable for reversible K-ion migration with a very low volume change of 6.4%.Synchrotron X-ray absorption spectra and X-ray diffraction characterizations at different charging/discharging states and electrochemical performances based on its half and full cells further verify its excellent reversibility and structural stability.Although its performance needs to be improved via further composition tuning with multi-valent transition metals,doping,structural optimization,etc.,this study clearly presents a stable structural model for K-ion cathodes with merits of low cost and environmental friendliness.

The biodiesel-based flat-rheology drilling fluid system

As the base oil of the current flat-rheology synthetic drilling fluid is high in cost and not renewable, the biodiesel-based flat-rheology drilling fluid with low-cost, environmental protection and renewable advantage was studied. Based on the optimization of raw materials, a cheap, environment-friendly biodiesel of soybean oil ethyl ester with good fluidity at low temperature was selected as the base oil. By selecting high oil-water ratio and introducing cationic surfactant into the auxiliary emulsifier, the thickening of biodiesel-based emulsion caused by hydrolysis and saponification after high-temperature aging was effectively eliminated. The organoclay prepared with cationic modifier of hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride was used to improve the rheologic properties, stability and fluid loss of the drilling fluid while preventing low-temperature thickening. A flat-rheology modifier was synthesized with dimer fatty acid and cocoanut fatty acid diethanolamide, which could form strong network structure in the biodiesel-based drilling fluid to adjust effectively rheological properties of the drilling fluid. A biodiesel-based flat-rheology drilling fluid system with the density of 1.2 g/cm^(3) has been formulated which has constant rheology in the temperature range of 2-90 ℃, temperature tolerance of 160 ℃, seawater salinity tolerance of 5%, shale cuttings tolerance of 10%, and is environmentally friendly.

Ways to Overcome Anxiety in the English Listening Class in College (SUN JING-YU KE SU-FEN)

In my ten-yeat experience of tenching English as major in college , I feel that students experience more difficulties in listening lessons than in other lessons. What, then, prevents students from achieving success in the listening class? I suggest that anxiety is one of the major factors, which interferes with students listening comprehension. And I would agree with writers such as Gardner and Horwitz et al. (1991)that anxiety may impede learner’s ability to perform successfully in all aspects of learning a foreign language. I feet it is particularly significant for listening.

Synthesis, Characterisation and Photoresponsive Studies of Lignin Functionalised with 2-(5-(4-dimethylamino-benzylidin)-4-oxo-2-thioxo- thiazolidin-3-yl)-acetic Acid

A chromophoric system 2-(5-(4-dimethylamino-benzylidin)-4-oxo-2-thioxo-thiazoli din-3-yl)acetic acid with push-pull electron modulation was synthesised and incorporated onto lignin core (technical lignin, lignin sulphonic acid M.W. 52,400) and the photo responsive behaviour was investigated. The product was characterised by UV-visible, fluores-cence, FT-IR, and NMR spectroscopic methods. The results of the studies show that the incorporation of the chromo-phoric system on to the lignin core enhanced the light absorption and light stabilization properties of the chromophoric system. The remarkable stability on irradiation provides a novel photo responsive system with excellent light fastening properties which would find application in coating materials, dyes, paints etc.

Synthesis, Characterization and Photoinduced Cis-Trans Isomerisation Studies on Lignin Modified with 4-[(E)-2-(3-hydroxynaphthalen-2-yl)diazen-1-yl] Benzoic Acid

In the present study, a photoresponsive chromophoric system such as 4-[(E)-2-(3-hydro xynaphthalen-2-yl)diazen-1-yl] benzoic acid was incorporated on to lignin core by functional transformation reactions and the photoresponsive beha-vior of the green, environment friendly product was investigated. The end hydroxyl group of lignin was modified with the chromophoric systems by DCC coupling. The chromophoric systems as well as the chromophore-bound biopolymer core systems were purified by column chromatography. The products were characterized by UV-visible, fluorescence, FT-IR and NMR spectroscopic methods. The results of the studies show that incorporation of the chromophoric system on to the lignin core enhanced the light absorption, emission and light stabilization properties of the chromophoric system. The light fastening properties of chromophoric system and the modified product were compared. It shows that stability of the chromophoric system greatly enhanced on attaching to the polymeric system. The trans-cis photoisomerisation and the reverse cis-trans thermal conversions were also assisted by the lignin core. The remarkable stability on irradiation shows that this is a novel photoresponsive system with excellent light fastening properties which would find application in coating materials, dyes, paints, inks, therapeutic agents and many more.
