The combination of the two techniques is of many advantages as ISE can be performed at low [LT]:[MT] ratios and significantly higher [MT], whereas DPP could be used well at large [LT]:[MT] ratios and much smaller [MT]. This makes it possible to study a metal-ligand system in a relatively broader range of experimental conditions that, in turn, provides more information about the metakligand system of interest. Applying the unified mathematical treatment to the cadmium-glycine system, two new complexes MHL and ML2(OH) as well as three complexes ML, ML2 and ML3, reported in literatures, could be modeled and all their stability constants have been refined.展开更多

The formationconstants of FA were much smaller than those of HA, and the formation constants of Cu ̄(2+) were muchgreater than those of Co ̄(2+) , Ni ̄(2+) and Zn ̄(2+) . The potentiometric titration method for determining formationconstants are also discussed in the article.展开更多

It is based on one-terminal voltage and current data. The loop and nodal equations comparing faulted phase to non-faulted phase of two-parallel lines are introduced in the fault location estimation model, in which the source impedance of a remote end is not involved. The effects of load flow and fault resistance on the accuracy of fault location are effectively eliminated, therefore a precise algorithm of locating fault is derived. The algorithm is demonstrated by digital computer simulations.展开更多

In the electromagnetic localization system, the wireless magnetic sensor is embedded in the micro-devices to measure alternating magnetic signals. The wireless magnetic sensor is composed of an induction coil, a signal processor, a radio frequency (R.F) transmitter, a power manager and batteries. Based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, the induction coil converts the alternating magnetic signals into electrical signals. Via the RF transmitter, the useful data am wirelessly sent outside the body. According to the relation between the magnetic signals and the location, the position and orientation of the micro-devices can be calculated. The experiments demonstrate the feasibility of localizing in-vivo medical micro-devices with the wireless magnetic sensor. The novel localization system is accurate and robust.展开更多

Platinum electrodes were used as an indicating system to follow the oxidation of Procainamide with cerium(IV), and permanganate in an acidic medium. The oxidation reactions of Procainamide with Ce(IV) and/or permanganate are fast enough to permit its determination by flow injection in sulfuric acid media. The univariate method was employed to optimize the variables such as the current density, the flow rate, the oxidant concentration and the concentration of sulfuric acid. The proposed method was linear in the range 20-100 μg.mL^-1 , the DL and R2 values were 12 μg.mL^-1 and 0.995 respectively. The procedure was applied successfully to the determination of Procainamide in commercial tablets. The results of this study were favorably compared statistically with those obtained with official methods.展开更多

The best performance was obtained with a membrane composition of 10.0% (w/w) ion-pair, 45.0% DOP (w/w) and 45.0% PVC (w/w). The electrode showed a Nemstian response (with a slope of 58.70 mV decade-1) for the concentration range of 4.2 × 10-5-1.0 ×10-2 mol/L. It illustrates a relatively fast response time in the whole concentration range (-15 s) in a pH range of 3.0-7.5. The selectivity coefficients were determined in relation to several inorganic and organic species. DAP is determined successfully in pure solutions and in biological fuids using the standard additions and petentiometric titrations methods.展开更多

The sorption mechanisms of Th(IV) on intrinsic and activated attapulgite were investigated by employing surface complexation model and FITEQL 3.2 code. The results indicated that the sorption sites of intrinsic attapulgite involved in the sorption process were main ion exchange site ( ≡ XNa/K), strong site (≡ SsOH) and weak site ( ≡ SwOH), while only strong site ( ≡SSOH) and weak site (≡SwOH) were predominant for activated attapulgite. At pH 〈 2.5, the species of Th(IV) was main Th4+ in aqueous solution; then the hydrolysis species of Th(IV) (i.e., Th(OH)22+, Th(OH)3+ and Yh(OH)40) gradually formed as pH increasing. For the sorption of Th(IV) on intrinsic attapulgite, both ion exchange species ( ≡ X2Th) and inner-sphere surface complexes ( ≡ SsOTh) were dominant, while only inner-sphere surface complexes (i.e., ≡SSOThOH and ≡ SWOTh) were observed for Th(IV) sorption to activated attapulgite. In the presence of humic acid (HA), the sorption of Th(IV) on activated attapulgite was obviously enhanced; and both ≡ SsOH-HA-Th and≡ SSOTh were the predominant speciation. It was also interesting to find that the addition of HA obviously provoked the desorption behavior of Th(IV).展开更多

Yet installing those instruments in unstable positions will cause measurement errors or even the complete failure of long-term subsidence surveillance. In this paper, the innovative concept and its method of "displacement-relay videometrics" are proposed. With the method, a double-headed camera is designed, and two constraints, the "fixation constraint" and the "homologous constraint", are established to construct the displacement-relay measurement equations, which can concurrently give the subsidence of the points to be measured and the positions where the cameras are fixed. The method and its measurement system are thus capable of automatically measuring the surface subsidence under the condition that the cameras are mounted on unstable locations over long durations. Therefore, the method has the broad prospect of undertaking automatic, long-term and continuous measurement for surface subsidence in engineering projects such as railroad beds, bridges and the ground beds of tall buildings. The proposed method opens a new area that cameras can be mounted on unstable platform to make high accuracy measurements, which is of great significance for applications.展开更多

The proposed algorithm calculates the fault distance based on the characteristics of the voltage resonance. The Prony's method is introduced to extract the characteristics. A novel method is proposed to solve the pseudo dual-root problem in the calculation process. The multiple data windows are adopted to enhance the robustness of the proposed algorithm. An index is proposed to evaluate the accuracy and validity of the results derived from the various data windows. The performances of the proposed algorithm in different fault scenarios were evaluated using the PSCAD/EMTDC simulations. The results show that the algorithm can locate the faults with transient resistance using the 1.6 ms data of the DC-side voltage after a fault inception and offers a good precision.展开更多
