چکیده

NASA’s Expansive Reach Each year, NASA produces Spin­ off, a report outlining its con­ tributions to the US (see www. sti.nasa.gov/tto). Many derivative technologies in medicine and per­ sonal comfort have emerged from NASA missions, positively affect­ ing our lives. However, beneficial technologies have also emerged in computing and information processing over the more than 60 years since the cre­ ation of NASA. These technologies have profoundly affected civilian and military computing and IT applications. Furthermore, spinoff companies, increased computational efficiency, and new product oppor­ tunities arising from NASA research have produced enormous economic benefits. This issue of IT Pro cele­ brates a tiny fraction of these suc­ cesses, particularly as they apply to IT.

Synthesis of Some Biginelli-type Products: Nano Alumina Sulfonic acid (NASA) Catalyzed under Solvent-free Condition

Biginelli-type reaction was developed by means of a three-component condensation of analdehyde, ethyl acetoacetate, urea or thiourea and nano alumina sulfonic acid (Al2O3-SO3H)(NASA) as catalyzed. It is carried out under different conditions. In all conditions, the desiredproducts are obtained in high yields after relatively short reaction times. Nevertheless, thereactions proceeded faster and ...
