The emphasis is on three main groups of multicomponent maintenance optimization models： the block replacement models, group maintenance models, and opportunistic maintenance models. Moreover, an example of a two-unit system maintenance process is provided in order to compare various maintenance policies.展开更多
Secondary amine based ionic liquid and defective Keggin type heteropoly acid (HPA) are separately used for efficient one-pot four-component synthesis of 1,2,4,5-tetrasubstituted imidazoles assisted by microwave (MW). ...Secondary amine based ionic liquid and defective Keggin type heteropoly acid (HPA) are separately used for efficient one-pot four-component synthesis of 1,2,4,5-tetrasubstituted imidazoles assisted by microwave (MW). Eco-friendly solvent free procedure, short reaction time, high yield of products and reusability of catalysts are important features of the synthesis. A comparative study on the efficiency of the two catalysts is reported. This work further demonstrates the alternate use of urea, instead of often used ammonium acetate, as source of nitrogen.展开更多

In combination with the O-H bond dissociation enthalpies (BDE) of the phenols determined by experiment, it was found that there were poor correlationships between the static O-H bond parameters and O-H BDE. Considering the good correlationship bt tween O-H BDE and logarithm of free radical scavenging rate constant for phenolic antioxidant, it is reasonable to believe that the ineffectiveness of static O-H bond parameters in characterizing antioxidant activity arises from the fact that they cannot measure the O-H BDE.展开更多

All polymerizations were conducted in toluene at 100 ℃ for 6 h without inert gas protection and furnished polymers with a satisfactory molecular weight(Mw up to32200) and yield. The PFA structure was confirmed by spectroscopic techniques, such as GPC, FTIR, and NMR, as well as by comparison with a model compound. The polymers exhibited good solubility in common organic solvents and thermal stability. All the PFAs had high refractive indices in the visible light region(400 nm to 800 nm). Moreover, the PFAs were substantially degraded by UV irradiation due to the presence of furan rings. The film thickness reduction rate could be over 90%.展开更多

The behavior of Ni-WC composite coating used as cathode material for hydro gen evolution reaction (HER) in a medium of 0.1 mol .L-1H2SO4+0.5mol.L-1 Na2SO4 was inverstigated. The experimental results show that the catalytic activity of Ni-WC composite electrode for HER in weak acidic medium is appearently higher than that of the electrode plated with Ni and is increased with the increasing of WC content in the coating. As compared with Ni plated electrode, the increase in catalytic activity of the composite electrode for HER should be attributed to the dispersion of WC particles in the Ni deposit, since the mechanism of HER for the two kinds of electrodes is the same.Owing to the incorporation of WC particles in Ni deposit, the standard activation free enthalpy for HER is decreased, and the defects and dislocations in the crystal sturcture of the composite coating are increased. This is equivalent to the addition of catalysis accelerator WC in the catalyst Ni.展开更多
