freshly prepared zno nanoparticles were used as an effective heterogeneous base catalyst for the synthesis of aryloximes. the conversion of arylaldehydes and arylketones into the corresponding oximes (up to quantitative yields) was achieved by simply mixing the liquid reactants and hydroxylamine hydrochloride with zno nanoparticles under solvent-free condition. the procedure was carried out und...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Dynamic mechanical properties of hard, direct reline resins are important factors in the clinical success of dentures. However, little information is available on the nature of these properties. PURPOSE This study evaluated the dynamic mechanical properties of a variety of hard, direct reline resins: (1) visible light-polymerized, powder-liquid type, (2) visible light-pol...

Dissolving zinc tetraphenylporphyrin in the tetraalkylphosphonium chloride ionic liquid P4448Cl results in progressive demetallation of the solute and quantitative production of the free base porphyrin. Aggregation of the free base occurs in which the monomer and J aggregates are in fully reversible thermal equilibrium in the ionic liquid. The thermodynamic, kinetic and spectroscopic behaviour ...

The focus of the present paper is on the development of a finite element formulation to investigate the sloshing of liquids in partially filled rigid rectangular tanks undergoing base excitation. The liquid domain is discretized into two-dimensional four-node rectangular elements with the liquid velocity potential representing the nodal degrees of freedom. Liquid sloshing effects induced by bot...

the main objective of this article is evaluation of the simplified models which have been developed for analysis and design of liquid storage tanks. the empirical formulas of these models for predicting maximum sloshing wave height (mswh) are obtained from mass spring models (msm). a finite element modeling (fem) tool is used for investigating the behavior the some selected liquid storage tanks...

BACKGROUND Palpable thyroid nodules are present in 4-7% of general population and Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) is now accepted by endocrinologists and thyroid surgeons as a safe, simple and cost effective procedure for evaluating a thyroid nodule. The obtained sample can be spread directly on slides, processed as cell block preparations or prepared as liquid base smears. Liquid base method has ...
