Initially, lasubin II was synthesized diastereoselectively in racemic form [3]. Asymmetric syntheses of lasubin II were achieved based on stereoselective transformations of enantiomerically pure substrates [4] or, for example, via a diastereoselective aza-Diels-Alder reaction using a resolved chiral arylaldehyde tricarbonylchromium complex [5]. Recently, an enantioselectively catalyzed aza-Diel...

jute modified has been used for adsorption of cr (vi), cd (ii) and pb (ii) ions over a range ofinitial metal ion concentration. adsorption process is done in batch mode. adsorption isotherms ofthe heavy metals on adsorbents prepared were determined and correlated with common isothermequations. it was found that the freundlich isotherm is better than langmuir for explaining thebehavior of adsorp...

In this study, a new sorbent of chemically-modified activated carbon with L-arginine (AC-Arg) has been produced as solid-phase extraction, to trace Zn(II) and Cd(II) ions in real samples, including soil and water samples, by Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (FAAS). Once the surface coverage value is determined, the surface modification has been investigated and assessed, while having em...

The present paper deals with the mixed mode fracture analysis of a weakened orthotropic half-plane with multiple cracks propagation. The orthotropic half-plane contains Volterra type glide and climb edge dislocations. It is assumed that the medium is under in-plane loading conditions. The distributed dislocation technique is used to obtain integral equations for the dynamic problem of multiple ...

The theory of active-passive mode-locked solid-state lasers is developed where the passive mode-locking is achieved by a nonlinear mirror. Steady-state cw numerical solutions are analyzed in detail for the case of a Nd:YAG laser. The steady-state pulse duration can be reduced by an order of magnitude as compared to the pure active modelocking regime.

The question of the measurements on the Bell states by making use of mode change (from mixed to pure) of one qubit is considered. Such a mode change cannot be taken advantage of for superluminal communication in teleportation, and it may define constraints on the size of the gates.

The aim of a multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem (MRCPSP) is to assign resource(s) with the restricted capacity to an execution mode of activities by considering relationship constraints, to achieve pre-determined objective(s). These goals vary with managers or decision makers of any organization who should determine suitable objective(s) considering organization strategi...

The initial stage of fretting fatigue crack growth is significantly influenced by tangential force induced by fretting action along the contact surface where a mixed-mode crack growth is involved. Fretting crack behavior of aluminum alloy 2024 was studied, taking into account the problem of contact asperities. Finite element was used for the determination of the stress field near the contact su...
