A Concise Synthesis Of Β-Sitosterol And Other Phytosterols, Jiliang Hang, Patrick Dussault
A Concise Synthesis Of Β-Sitosterol And Other Phytosterols, Jiliang Hang, Patrick Dussault
Patrick Dussault Publications
A convenient synthesis of sidechain-modified phytosterols is achieved via a temporary masking of the stigmasterol 5,6-alkene as an epoxide. Following performance of the desired modification, the alkene is regenerated through a mild deoxygenation. The approach is applied to the syntheses of β-sitosterol and campesterol acetate, and suggests a facile route to the (Z)-isomers of Δ22–23 phytosterols.

X-ray charge-coupled devices (CCDs) are the workhorse detectors of modern X-ray astronomy. Typically covering the 0.3-10.0 keV energy range, CCDs are able to detect photoelectric absorption edges and K shell lines from most abundant metals. New CCDs also offer resolutions of 30-50 (E/ΔE), which is sufficient to detect lines in hot plasmas and to resolve many lines shaped by dynamical processes in accretion flows. The spectral capabilities of X-ray CCDs have been particularly important in detecting relativistic emission lines from the inner disks around accreting neutron stars and black holes. One drawback of X-ray CCDs is that spectra can be …

Leaching Mechanism Of Semiconducting Minerals, Fathi Habashi
Leaching Mechanism Of Semiconducting Minerals, Fathi Habashi
Fathi Habashi
The mechanism of leaching of semiconducting minerals such as PbS, ZnS, UO2, etc., has been the subject of intensive speculation by hydrometallurgists in the early 1950s. The electrochemical mechanism proposed in 1970 by the author in volume 2 of his Principles of Extractive Metallurgy avoids the assumption of forming intermediate complexes that cannot be isolated or identified.
Projection Of Diffraction Patterns For Use In Cold-Neutral-Atom Trapping, Katharina Gillen-Christandl, Glen D. Gillen
Projection Of Diffraction Patterns For Use In Cold-Neutral-Atom Trapping, Katharina Gillen-Christandl, Glen D. Gillen
Glen Gillen
Scalar diffraction theory is combined with beam-propagation techniques to investigate the projection of near-field diffraction patterns to spatial locations away from the aperture for use in optically trapping cold neutral alkali-metal atoms. Calculations show that intensity distributions with localized bright and dark spots usually found within a millimeter of the diffracting aperture can be projected to a region free from optical components such as a cloud of cold atoms within a vacuum chamber. Calculations also predict that the critical properties of the optical dipole atom traps are not only maintained for the projected intensity patterns but also can be manipulated …

Symbiogenesis. A New Principle Of Evolution Rediscovery Of Boris Mikhaylovich Kozo-Polyansky (1890–1957), Lynn Margulis
Lynn Margulis (1938 - 2011)
The following is a heavily edited transcript of my illustrated lecture, that included our 14 minute video (with a 2 minute animation model) that shows each step in live organisms hypothesized in the origin of nucleated cells from bacteria (“eukaryosis”). New observations presented with modern examples of live phenomena make us virtually certain that B.M. Kozo-Polyansky’s “new principle” (1924) of the importance of symbiogenesis in the evolutionary process of at least 2000 million years of life on Earth is correct. The widely touted but undocumented explanation of the origin of evolutionary novelty by “gradual accumulation of random mutations” will be …

Results: Multivariable analysis showed that participants with high AF-ALB (≥ 0.80 …
Best-First Heuristic Search For Multicore Machines, Ethan Burns, Sofia N. Lemons, Wheeler Ruml, Rong Zhou
Best-First Heuristic Search For Multicore Machines, Ethan Burns, Sofia N. Lemons, Wheeler Ruml, Rong Zhou
Computer Science
To harness modern multicore processors, it is imperative to develop parallel versions of fundamental algorithms. In this paper, we compare different approaches to parallel best-first search in a shared-memory setting. We present a new method, PBNF, that uses abstraction to partition the state space and to detect duplicate states without requiring frequent locking. PBNF allows speculative expansions when necessary to keep threads busy. We identify and fix potential livelock conditions in our approach, proving its correctness using temporal logic. Our approach is general, allowing it to extend easily to suboptimal and anytime heuristic search. In an empirical comparison on STRIPS …

Fertilizer And Stormwater Runoff Outreach Program In Newcastle, Nh, David Anderson
PREP Reports & Publications
The New Hampshire Coastal Protection Partnership (NH Coast) implemented a year long pilot public education and outreach program in the Town of New Castle aimed at reducing nitrogen pollution from lawn fertilizers and promoting rain gardens as a solution to storm water runoff and nonpoint source pollution. A total of 77 landowners representing 138 acres of land pledged to either not use lawn fertilizers or use only low phosphorus, slow release nitrogen brands. The program also resulted in the installation of New Castle’s first demonstration rain garden.

An Analytical Technique For Solving Nonlinear Heat Transfer Equations, Hossein Aminikhah, Milad Hemmatnezhad
An Analytical Technique For Solving Nonlinear Heat Transfer Equations, Hossein Aminikhah, Milad Hemmatnezhad
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
In this paper, an analytic technique, namely the New Homotopy Perturbation Method (NHPM) is applied for solving the nonlinear differential equations arising in the field of heat transfer. In this method, the solution is considered as an infinite series expansion where converges rapidly to the exact solution. The nonlinear convective–radioactive cooling equation and nonlinear equation of conduction heat transfer with the variable physical properties are chosen as illustrative examples and the exact solutions have been found for each case.

On Some Fractional Integral Operators Involving Generalized Gauss Hypergeometric Functions, N. Virchenko, O. Lisetska, S. L. Kalla
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
The object of this paper is to give a generalization of Gauss hypergeometric function, and to investigate its basic properties. Further, we define some fractional integral operators and their inverses in terms of the Mellin transform. Several well known integral operators, including Saigo operators can be derived from the results established here.
Bound For The Complex Growth Rate In Thermosolutal Convection Coupled With Cross-Diffusions, Hari Mohan Sharma
Bound For The Complex Growth Rate In Thermosolutal Convection Coupled With Cross-Diffusions, Hari Mohan Sharma
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
Thermosolutal convection problem of the Veronis’ type coupled with cross–diffusion is considered in the present paper. A semi -circle theorem that prescribes upper limit for the complex growth rate of oscillatory motions of neutral or growing amplitude in such a manner that it naturally culminates in sufficient conditions precluding the non- existence of such motions is derived. Further, results for thermosolutal convection problems with or without the individual consideration of Dufour and Soret effects follow as a consequence.
Global Stability Of Worms In Computer Network, Bimal Kumar Mishra, Aditya Kumar Singh
Global Stability Of Worms In Computer Network, Bimal Kumar Mishra, Aditya Kumar Singh
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
An attempt has been made to show the impact of non-linearity of the worms through SIRS (susceptible – infectious – recovered - susceptible) and SEIRS (susceptible – exposed – infectious – recovered - susceptible) e-epidemic models in computer network. A very general form of non-linear incidence rate has been considered satisfying the worm propagating behavior in computer network. The concavity conditions with a non-linear incidence rate and under the constant population size assumption are shown to be stable. Such systems have either a unique and stable endemic equilibrium state or no endemic equilibrium state at all; in the latter case, …
Solutions Of Nonlinear Second Order Multi-Point Boundary Value Problems By Homotopy Perturbation Method, S. Das, Sunil Kumar, O. P. Singh
Solutions Of Nonlinear Second Order Multi-Point Boundary Value Problems By Homotopy Perturbation Method, S. Das, Sunil Kumar, O. P. Singh
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
In this paper, we present an algorithm for the numerical solution of the second order multi- point boundary value problem with suitable multi boundary conditions. The algorithm is based on the homotopy perturbation approach and the solutions are calculated in the form of a rapid convergent series. It is observed that the method gives more realistic series solutions that converge very rapidly in physical problems. Illustrative numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the efficiency and simplicity of the proposed method in solving this type of multipoint boundary value problems.
Finite Element Analysis In Porous Media For Incompressible Flow Of Contamination From Nuclear Waste, Abbas Al-Bayati, Saad A. Manaa, Ekhlass S. Ahmed
Finite Element Analysis In Porous Media For Incompressible Flow Of Contamination From Nuclear Waste, Abbas Al-Bayati, Saad A. Manaa, Ekhlass S. Ahmed
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
A non-linear parabolic system is used to describe incompressible nuclear waste disposal contamination in porous media, in which both molecular diffusion and dispersion are considered. The Galerkin method is applied for the pressure equation. For the brine, radionuclide and heat, a kind of partial upwind finite element scheme is constructed. Examples are included to demonstrate certain aspects of the theory and illustrate the capabilities of the kind of partial upwind finite element approach.
