the crystal structure of the title schiff base complex is obtained by single-crystal x-ray diffraction data.the solid state structure determination reveals that the coordination geometry around the copper(ii) center istetrahedrally distorted square-planar. the crystal packing shows one dimensional infinite chains which arisesfrom the intermolecular interaction and stabilize the crystal packing.

The results of an experimental investigation of kerbside bridge deck drainage units are presented. The conveyance capacity, resistance coefficients and sediment transporting efficiencies of different types of drainage unit used in shallow bridge drainage decks are examined over a range of bed gradients likely to be encountered in practice. The use of a V-shaped cross section is shown to be part...

We consider the one-dimensional bin packing problem with unit-capacity bins and item sizes chosen according to the discrete uniform distribution Ufj; kg, 1 < j k; where each item size in f1=k; 2=k; : : : ; j=kg has probability 1=j of being chosen. Note that for xed j; k as m ! 1 the discrete distributions Ufmj; mkg approach the continuous distribution U(0; j=k], where the item sizes are chosen ...

The G12 project is developing a software environment for stating and solving combinatorial problems by mapping a high-level model of the problem to an efficient combination of solving methods. Model annotations are used to control this process. In this paper we explain the mapping to branch-and-price solving. G12 supports the selection of specialised sub-problem solvers, the aggregation of iden...

The bin-packing problem asks for a packing of a list of items of sizes from (0; 1] into the smallest possible number of bins having unit capacity. The k-item bin-packing problem additionally imposes the constraint that at most k items are allowed in one bin. We present two e6cient on-line algorithms for this problem. We show that, for increasing values of k, the bound on the asymptotic worst-ca...

brass ferrules have been used as packing in a laboratory- scale glass distillation column approaching pilot plant size because of their availability in all sizes and low cost. the available size range is such that these ferrules could also be used in industry and the results of this study could be scaled up. the performance of the new packing has been compared with the performance of glass pack...

Transporting epithelial cells interact with the luminal environment using a tightly packed array of microvilli known as the brush border. During intestinal epithelial differentiation, microvillar packing and organization are driven by cadherin-dependent adhesion complexes that localize to the distal tips of microvilli, where they drive physical interactions between neighboring protrusions. Alth...

The structure of the subunit c oligomer of the H+-transporting ATP synthase of Escherichia coli has been modeled by molecular dynamics and energy minimization calculations from the solution structure of monomeric subunit c and 21 intersubunit distance constraints derived from cross-linking of subunits. Subunit c folds in a hairpin-like structure with two transmembrane helices. In the c12 oligom...

in today’s competitive transportation systems, passengers search to find traveling agencies that are able to serve them efficiently considering both traveling time and transportation costs. in this paper, we present a new model for the traveling salesman problem with multiple transporters (tspmt). in the proposed model, which is more applicable than the traditional versions, each city has diffe...

In the present research, the aqueous suspensions of nano-sized YSZ particles were prepared using a common and available dispersant (Dolapix CE64) at different pH values and their stability were evaluated through the sedimentation height, viscosity measurement, and microstructural observation. Different amounts of dispersant were tested and the optimum percentage was examined by measuring the vi...
