The results indicate that the Mg-Al-Pb-La anode provides enhanced corrosion resistance at open circlepotential, and exhibits better discharge activity than the Mg-Al-Pb alloy. The utilization efficiency of Mg-Al-Pb-La anode ishigher than that of commercial Mg-Al-Zn (AZ) and Mg-Al-Mn (AM) alloys. A single Mg-air battery with Mg-Al-Pb-La alloy asthe anode and air as the cathode has an average discharge potential of 1.295 V and a discharge capacity of 1370 mA·h/g duringdischarge at 10 mA/cm2, which is higher than that of batteries using Mg-Li anodes. The enhancement in discharge performance ofthe Mg-Al-Pb-La anode is caused by its modified microstructure, which reduces the self-corrosion and accelerates the spalling ofoxidation products during battery discharge. Furthermore, the dissolution mechanism of Mg-Al-Pb-La anode during the dischargeprocess was analyzed.展开更多

The most valuable parameters of these compounds are melting point and solubility. Higher melting point leads to lower bioavailability and for most of the compounds investigated before it was very high. Usage of isocyanates containing 1,3-dimethyladamantane fragment will significantly decrease the melting point, improve solubility and therefore improve bioavailability of 1,3-disubstituted ureas and other biologically active compounds produced on its base. This article presents new 1,3-disubstituted ureas and biureas synthesized by the authors.展开更多

UHSC mixture proportions were developed using local materials so that UHSC may be made more affordable to a wider variety of applications. Specifically, local sand with a top size of 600 um, and locally available Type I/II cement and silica fume were used in this research. Each of these material selections is seen as an improvement in sustainability for UHSC. Two mixtures (one with and one without fibers) were recommended as the UHSC mixtures. The greatest compressive strengths obtained in this study were 165.6 MPa for UHSC with steel fibers and 161.9 MPa for UHSC without fibers. The compressive and flexural strengths obtained from the UHSC mixtures developed in this work are comparable to UHSC strengths presented in the literature. Producing this innovative material with local materials reduces the cost of the material, improves sustainability, and produces mechanical performance similar to prepackaged, commercially available products.展开更多

In biodegradation of pyrene by B. subtilis C19, various metabolites was isolated and identified by chromatographic and spectral analyses. Lipopeptide biosurfactant was produced and it has stable emulsification activity. Biosurfactant was produced for enhancing pyrene uptake and bioavaibility. After 30 days incubation, there were no toxic metabolite and biodegradation of pyrene was already complete (only 0.02% undegradable metabolite). Therefore, this strain is suitable for PAHs (polyaromatic hydrocarbons) contaminated environment recovery.展开更多

Others,. however, have pointed out that the human rights institutional and political hegemony makes other valuable emancipatory strategies less available, and that this foregrounds problems of participation and procedure at the expense of distribution (Kennedy 2005). Finally, others have explained how the abstractedness of the category entails a de-politicization (Rancière 2004; Zizek 2005; Douzinas 2007) or an emptiness that, of course, can be filled by progressive activism, but whose substance is easily reappropriated by those in power (Miéville 2005). By engaging with the above-mentioned perspectives, and following the decolonial approach (Mignolo 2009; 2011), I suggest that the category human rights can be decolonized and being used for progressive agendas only after a comprehensive critique of liberal legality (that entails a critique of liberal abstract rationality, political economy, and modernity/coloniality) has been performed.展开更多

For this reason, the coking of the following loads was realized: Atmospheric residue (RAT), vacuum Residue (RSV) and catalytic Residue of cracking (RCC). (The residues are obtained from an Algerian crude oil). As the oil residues are rich for their strongly polar composition, such as the asphaltene resins, and complex structures units (SCU), which has a role in the formation of coke, and as the dispersion of these latter improves the quality of coke, a study on the stability of aggregation was carried out by the addition of one stabilizer (oil Extract) in the coking process load, The Compounding (Extracted from/RCC oil) has been drived to the best efficiency of coke. The study consists of the influence this is characterized by the analyses Infra-red (IR) and x-ray diffraction (XRD).展开更多

For this purpose, 120 announcements of mergers that were registered in Italy during the period 1994-2006 among listed companies were examined. The short-term analysis was conducted using the event study methodology in order to estimate the cumulative abnormal returns (CARs) in the time window around the announcement date (-10, +10). In this work, the sample of 120 mergers was divided into two sub-samples: the first considers the mergers that were carried out in all sectors of the economy, and the second focuses only on bank mergers. From the results obtained it would appear that, while the sub-sample of all mergers registered a statistically significant value creation for the shareholders of both the bidder and target companies, values also confirmed by combined analysis, the second sub-sample registered negative values for bidder companies and positive values for target companies. Negative values also seem to be confirmed by the results of the combined analysis both at the date of announcement and throughout the entire period of observation. For the long-term analysis, the Buy and Hold Abnormal Returns (BHARs) methodology was used, with which it was possible to observe the returns for three years. In the 36 months following the merger, the portfolios showed a significant destruction of value展开更多

But they demonstrate less or no activities in vivo due to various problems of themselves, which severely restricts their clinical applications. After forming phytosomes with phospholipids in aprotic solvent, the active constituents exhibit different physicochemical properties from the free form. In particular, the bioavailability of the active constituent-phytosomes is enhanced greatly due to the improved capacity to cross the biomembrane and reach circulation. Therefore, increasing attention has been attracted to the use of phytosomes in recent years. Based on the published reports, we reviewed the recent progress in the research of phytosomes including preparation, characterization, structure verification and clinical applications.展开更多

A p-adic congruence is called a super congruence if it happens to hold modulo some higher power of p. The topic of super congruences is related to many fields including Gauss and Jacobi sums and hypergeometric series. We prove that ∑k=0^p-1(k^2k/2k)≡(-1)^(p-1)/2-p^2Ep-3(modp^3) ∑k=1^(p-1)/2(k^2k)/k≡(-1)^(p+1)/2 8/3pEp-3(mod p^2),∑k=0^(p-1)/2(k^2k)^2/16k≡(-1)^(p-1)/2+p^2Ep-3(mod p^3),where E0, E1, E2,... are Euler numbers. Our new approach is of combinatorial nature. We also formulate many conjectures concerning super congruences and relate most of them to Euler numbers or Bernoulli numbers. Motivated by our investigation of super congruences, we also raise a conjecture on 7 new series for π2, π-2 and the constant K := ∑k=1^∞(k/3)/k^2 (with (-) the Jacobi symbol), two of which are ∑k=1^∞(10k-3)8k/k2(k^2k)^2(k^3k)=π^2/2and ∑k=1^∞(15k-4)(-27)^k-1/k^3(k^2k)^2(k^3k)=K.展开更多

On the one hand, the protection of human rights is the purpose of economic development, i.e., promoting economic and social rights through economic development, and then creating conditions for the realization of civil and political fights. On the other hand, the protection of human rights is a means to economic development, and only through the protection of human fights, can sustained and healthy economic development be realized. The economic development model of China since 1978, for quite a long period of time, is suitable for subsistence-based development. However, it also has created risks of economic failure and political legitimacy crises. So it is necessary to adopt a scientific development model which values human rights.展开更多

文摘Historically, economic development and human fights go hand in hand. On the one hand, the protection of human rights is the purpose of economic development, i.e., promoting economic and social rights through economic development, and then creating conditions for the realization of civil and political fights. On the other hand, the protection of human rights is a means to economic development, and only through the protection of human fights, can sustained and healthy economic development be realized. The economic development model of China since 1978, for quite a long period of time, is suitable for subsistence-based development. However, it also has created risks of economic failure and political legitimacy crises. So it is necessary to adopt a scientific development model which values human rights.
