An iterative approach to higher polyquinanes

A simple cyclopentane annulation strategy has been developed using inexpensive reagents. Starting from the readily available bicyclo[3.3.0]octane system several polyquinanes were prepared by iterative annulation procedure and herein we report a short and a convenient route to a new C20-hexaquinane system

Synthesis of cage heterocycles containing tetrahydrofuran and pyran ring system via Grignard addition and ring-closing metathesis

75-84Several cage compounds containing tetrahydrofuran and pyran rings have been reported by using the Grignard addition and ring-closing metathesis as key steps. Cage hemiketal derivatives have been generated due to the proximity of two carbonyl groups in cage dione. These cage heterocycles have been derived from readily available starting materials such as 1,4-hydroquinone and dicyclopentadiene

Quantifying The Role of Vegetation in Slope Stability

Soil erosion and landslides are the two great concerns to the land managers in the world. The presence of root system in the soil plays good role in increasing the stability of the slope .The hydrological and geo mechanical effects due to the vegetation increase the stability of the slope. The hydrological effect due to the vegetation is related to the soil suction regime and the geo mechanical effect is related to the reinforcement provided by the root network in soil. In this project, the mechanical effect of vegetation on the slope stability is calculated. The finite element package PLAXIS 3D version 2013 is used for stability analysis of the slope. This study also highlights the use of reliability analysis in slope stability. Reliability analysis is performed on the slope which is covered with vegetation. The limit state function is developed by using the linear response surface model. The two level full factorial design is used for the design of experiments (DoE). The reliability index (ß) is calculated by using the first order reliability method. The standard USACE chart is used to calculate the probability of failure (Pf) of the slop

A protection PWS system UPS to sum up profiles as per client security prerequisites

Personalized web search has demonstrated its effectiveness in improving the quality of various search services on the Internet.  However, evidences show that users’ reluctance to disclose their private information during search has become a major barrier for the wide proliferation of PWS. We study privacy protection in PWS applications that model user preferences as hierarchical user profiles. We propose a PWS framework called UPS that can adaptively generalize profiles by queries while respecting user-specified privacy requirements. Our runtime generalization aims at striking a balance between two predictive metrics that evaluate the utility of personalization and the privacy risk of exposing the generalized profile. We present two greedy algorithms, namely GreedyDP and GreedyIL, for runtime generalization. We also provide an online prediction mechanism for deciding whether personalizing a query is beneficial. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework. The experimental results also reveal that GreedyIL significantly outperforms GreedyDP in terms of efficiency

Screening Methodology for the Efficient Pairing of Ionic Liquids and Carbonaceous Electrodes Applied to Electric Energy Storage

A model is presented that correlates the measured electric capacitance with the energy that comprises the desolvation, dissociation and adsorption energy of an ionic liquid into carbonaceous electrode (represented by single-wall carbon nanotubes). An original methodology is presented that allows for the calculation of the adsorption energy of ions in a host system that does not necessarily compensate the total charge of the adsorbed ions, leaving an overall net charge. To obtain overall negative (favorable) energies, adsorption energies need to overcome the energy cost for desolvation of the ion pair and its dissociation into individual ions. Smaller ions, such as BF4 −, generally show larger dissociation energies than anions such as PF6 − or TFSI−. Adsorption energies gradually increase with decreasing pore size of the CNT and show a maximum when the pore size is slightly greater than the dimensions of the adsorbed ion and the attractive van der Waals forces dominate the interaction. At smaller pore diameters, the adsorption energy sharply declines and becomes repulsive as a result of geometry deformations of the ion. Only for those diameters where the adsorption reaches maximum values is the adsorption energy sufficiently negative to balance the positive dissociation and desolvation energies. We present for each ion (and ionic liquid) what the most adequate electrode pore size should be for maximum capacitance
