In this study a multi-objective genetic algorithm approach is developed for determining new reaction rate parameters for the combustion of kerosene/air mixtures. The multi-objective structure of the genetic algorithm employed allows for the incorporation of both perfectly stirred reactor and laminar premixed flame data into the inversion process, thus producing more efficient reaction mechanisms.

In this manuscript we highlight the potential of stereospecific nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions for applications in the pharmaceutical industry. Using an inexpensive and sustainable nickel catalyst, we report a gram-scale Kumada cross-coupling reaction. Reactions are highly stereospecific and proceed with inversion at the benzylic position. We also expand the scope of our reaction to ...

The aim of seismic inversion is mapping all of the subsurface structures from seismic data. Due to the band-limited nature of the seismic data, it is difficult to find a unique solution for seismic inversion. Deterministic methods of seismic inversion are based on try and error techniques and provide a smooth map of elastic properties, while stochastic methods produce high-resolution maps of el...

one of the most remarkable basis of the gravity data inversion is the recognition of sharp boundaries between an ore body and its host rocks during the interpretation step. therefore, in this work, it is attempted to develop an inversion approach to determine a 3d density distribution that produces a given gravity anomaly. the subsurface model consists of a 3d rectangular prisms of known sizes ...

This paper presents a new direct matrix inversion-less analysis for radial distribution systems (RDSs). The method can successfully deal with weakly meshed distribution systems. (WMDSs). Being easy to implement, direct methods (DMs) provide an excellent performance. Matrix inversion is the mean reason of divergence and low-efficiency in power flow algorithms. In this paper, the performance of t...

the application of energy absorbing systems in the structures are one of the main methods in attenuation of earthquake effects. in this paper, the vibration control of structures by using of tube inversion systems is considered. in this novel system, the energy is dissipated by the inversion of a metal tube. this energy dissipater has large energy absorbing capacity along with constant stiffnes...

analysis of time series data can involve the inversion of large covariance matrices. for theclass of arma (p, q) processes there are no exact explicit expressions for these inverses, except for thema (1) process. in practice, the sample covariance matrix can be very large and inversion can becomputationally time consuming and so approximate explicit expressions for the inverse are desirable.thi...

where Xis called the nucleophile, RjR2R3ZY the substrate and Ythe leaving group. The substrate structure, the nature of the nucleophile, of the reaction center Z and of the leaving group, and the nature of the solvent are important factors of the overall rate of reaction. Now, experimentsare available for studying solvated ions in the gas-phase, it is possible to explore the transition state in...

One-pot, four-component procedure for the synthesis of a small library of new chiral spiro- oxindolopyrrolidines with high regio-, diastereo- (>99:1 dr), and enantioselectivity (up to 80% ee) is described. In this process, the regio- and stereochemical 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides, which were generated insitu by the reaction of isatin derivatives and sarcosin,with optically ac...
