The synthesis and utilization of C-C bonds formatio n are concerned about the key steps for the buildin g of several conducting molecular electronics involving many asy mmetric catalysts approached, which is an essential task that most researchers would ignore in preparing these materia ls to enhance the production yield of cross-couplin g materials. Despite the enormous progress, there still remains great demand for economic and practicable cross-c upling processes involving ultra-low catalyst loadings wit h high turnover numbers due to the employment of co nventional metal catalyst. Thus, there has been an excessive i nterest to cultivate non-phosphine palladium cataly s s for excellent achievement of activity, stability, and substrate t olerance which permit the coupling reactions to be conducted under mild reaction condition at ambient atmosphere. In t his contribution, N-(4-nitrophenylcarbamothioyl)-N’ -(4methylbenzoyl) thiourea ( LT1 ) and its metal complex of MLT1 featuring Pd (II) have been successfully character ised via typical spectroscopic methods namely; Infrared (IR) spectroscopy, Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spe ctroscopy, CHNS elemental analysis, and Nuclear Magnetic Reson ance ( H and C NMR). In turn, catalytic studies of palladium catalyst ( MLT1 ) were tested for its homogenous catalytic activity in Heck cross-coupling reaction. The reaction was monitored by Gas Chromatography-Flame Ionisation De tector (GC-FID). Results reveal that MLT1 exhibits 100% of conversion starting material into a cross-coupling product, which was alkene-based compound.

We present a systematic scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) study of bias-dependent imaging of disulfur diarylethene (2S-DE) molecules on octanethiol (C8) monolayer at room temperature. In a rigid confinement of the C8 matrix, we did not observe any significant variation in the appearance of the 2S-DE. On the contrary, a reversal in the apparent height of the 2S-DE was present when the molecule was situated on a gold vacancy island. We attributed this finding to the presence of a new electronic state that became accessible for a tunneling event. In addition, the C8 surface structure underwent a reversible phase transformation from root 3 x root 3 R30 degrees hexagonal to c(4x2) square superlattice when the bias voltage was reduced from -825 mV to -425 mV or vice versa. Under a finite bias voltage, an appreciable topographic variation of the 2S-DE signature was demonstrated for the first time. This finding can be ascribed to a finite overlap of the associated wave functions that occurred between the tip state and the 2S-DE molecular energy level. We believe that physical insight on the bias-dependent imaging of organic molecules on solid surface is important towards the advancement of molecular electronics-based devices.

Previous research has suggested that some traits ma y be useful as the predictors of risk behaviours be haviors. Therefore, personality traits seem to play a role in accident involvement. The purpose of this study is was to ex plore the relationship between the personality traits based on the Big Fiv e In entory (BFI) and worker accident experiences i n order to elaborate personality traits based intervention for workplace accident prevention. A cross cross-sectional study was conducted among 173 workers in a cement company using a set o f questionnaires consisting of respondents’ charact e istics, BFI, and self-reported accident experience. The correlat ions were computed using Goodman Kruskal’s Gamma. A negative correlation between Extraversion dimension and acci dent experience was found to be approaching signifi ca t (G=0.273, p = 0.061). Workers with lower Extraversion dimensions, based on BFI, are recommended to have p riority needs be prioritized for training or to be assigned to le ss hazardous workplaces.

Urban flooding often times staggers the livelihood in an urban area, which most likely happens in the lowland urban area. Therefore, the existing urban drainage system hould be improved in order to tackle the upcoming urban flooding events, which are more than likely to be more devas tating than those in the previous years. The resear ch location is in Palembang, Sumatra, Indonesia, where 30% of its urb an part is a lowland area. The selected Aur Sub Cat chment is located in Silaberanti. The main objective of this re earch is to improve the current drainage system in order to achieve the optimal design for urban drainage arrangement. This research was developed using Duflow Modelling Studio 3.8.3 in collaboration with ArcGIS 10.1 to schematize the dr ainage system and analyse the spatial and topograph ical condition of the research area. As a result, there are three dev lopment scenarios established by Duflow Modelli ng Studio in order to improve the drainage system in the research area . The first scenario is the current and extreme con dition in the study area. The second scenario is the extreme condition, which is represented by the extreme rainfall. The third scenario is the improvement possibilities of the existing drain age system. There are three different types of impr ovements and modifications for the third scenario which are: can al dredging, canal dike/embankment, a pump installa tion, and a flap gate installation. In conclusion, based on three differe nt scenario analyses, the most feasible, suitable, eff ctive, and efficient alternative for overcoming the flooding in Silabera nti is a flap gate installation combined with dike construction in the flood risk sections of the river because it works a utomatically depending on the water level in the Ri ver.
城市洪涝灾害常常使城市居民的生计受到影响,这种情况最可能发生在城市的低地地区。因此,现有的城市排水系统应该得到改善,以应对即将到来的城市洪水事件,这些事件很可能比往年更具破坏性。研究地点位于印度尼西亚苏门答腊岛的巨港,其中30%的城市是低地地区。被选中的阿乌亚猫羊皮纸位于西拉伯拉蒂。本研究的主要目的是改善现有的排水系统,以实现城市排水布置的优化设计。本研究使用Duflow modeling Studio 3.8.3与ArcGIS 10.1合作开发,对研究区域的空间和地形条件进行了示意图和分析。因此,为了改善研究区域的排水系统,Duflow Modelli ng Studio建立了三种开发场景。第一个场景是研究区域的当前和极端条件。第二种情况是极端情况,以极端降雨为代表。第三种情况是改善现有排水系统的可能性。对于第三种情况,有三种不同类型的改进和修改:清淤、运河堤防/堤防、安装泵和安装挡板门。总之,基于三种不同的情景分析,克服Silabera nti洪水的最可行、最合适、最有效和最有效的替代方案是在河流的洪水风险路段安装翻盖闸门并结合堤防建设,因为它可以根据漓江的水位自动工作。

In this study, polyurethane (PU) films from palm ke rn l oil-based polyester (PKO-p) incorporated multi -walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) are prepared via a evaporative casting method. Nanoparticle fluid d ispersions containing 0.02%, 0.03%, and 0.05% wt. of MWNTs are added into PKO-p based resin and mixed by digital probe sonicator fo r 30 min followed by mixing with isocyanate to produce PU-MW NTs composite films. The mechanical properties, swe lling, water vapour transmission rate (WVTR) and conductiv ity of the PU-MWNTs composite films are examined. R esults show that the toughness (T) or flexibility, the ten sile strength (TS), and Young’s modulus (YM) values of PU-MWNTs composite films increase with the increasing concen trations of MWNT. In contrast, the water vapour tra nsmission rate (WVTR) and swelling test of PU-MWNTs composite film s decrease with the increase of MWNT concentrations . For conductivity testing, the film with 0.05 wt.% MWNT (PU-5) has the highest conductivity value at 2.19 x 10 S cm. In summary, incorporation of MWNTs has improved the me chanical properties of the polyurethane composites film .

Measurements of residual stress on the 57Fe25Cr15Ni steel plate with no-filler TIG-welding process wer e carried out. This work was conducted to determine the nature of weld ability in synthesized steel. The bulks were f ormed in a dimension of 30x20x7 mm 3 to ease data retrieval. Results show that the large st residual stress occurred in the weld metal area, amounting to 82.40 MPa with lattice str tching of 0.18%. Conversely, the values decreased to 65.92 MPa and a stretch of 0.14% in the HAZ area. This residu al stress is a tensile stress that can reduce the m echanical strength of the material since it adds to the applied loads. Th is was confirmed by microstructure observations. Th e carbon content was very high in the dark lines. Weaken materials u sually start from this side and could initiate the intergranular cracks that rapidly migrate among its grain boundaries.

The characterization of biopolymer-based solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) has been carried out in this present work. Cellulose derivative was chosen due to its superior physical attributes. In this work, NH4Br-doped glycerol plasticized carboxyl methylcellulose-based SPEs were successfully prepared via the solution casting method. The conductivity and dielectric properties of the prepared films were investigated using the impedance analysis which presented ~1.91×10-3 Scm-1 (with addition of 6 wt% of glycerol). In addition, the studied SPE system shows a non-Debye behaviour without a single relaxation time. The findings of the research indicate that the complexes of NH4Br and glycerol in the cellulose derivative influence the ionic conductivity and dielectric properties of the SPE system.

Bio ethanol is one of the potential fuels in the fu ture. However, ethanol in water mixture has an azeo tropic concentration of 95.6 wt. %, which makes it difficult to purify furt her. The common method of purification is by using an azeotropic distillation column, which requires an intensive en ergy and an addition of specific solvent. In this s tudy, ethanol purification is done using an adsorption column pac ked with zeolite Raschig rings. The natural zeolite r ng was modified beforehand using the NaOH solution to enha nce the material’s water adsorption performance. Th e ethanol purity can reach more than 99% with the modified ze olit packing. The modification also increases the saturation time of the packed bed column, thus making it more effic i nt.

PLUME CONTAMINATION MEASUREMENTS OF AN ADDITIVELY-PRINTED GOX/ABS HYBRID THRUSTER by David A. Brewer, Master of Science Utah State University, 2018 Major Professor: Dr. Stephen A. Whitmore Department: Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Historically, due to the lack of a reliable, on-demand, and multiple-use ignition methodology, hybrid rockets have never been previously considered for in-space propulsion. Recently, the Propulsion Research Laboratory at Utah State University has developed unique arc-ignition system that overcomes this problem and allows hybrids to be started, stopped, and restarted with a high degree of reliability, and requiring a low power input. The technology is derived from the unique electrical breakdown properties of 3-D printed plastics like ABS. Because ABS is an entirely new material for propulsion applications, and no database exists to describe the potential deleterious effects of the exhaust plume on spacecraft surfaces. Adsorption of propellant effluents on spacecraft surfaces can create multiple operational concerns; for example, deposition of molecules on solar arrays and thermal control surfaces can lead to decreased power production and increased spacecraft temperatures. This paper presents the results from a set of preliminary

Recently, the Propulsion Research Laboratory at Utah State University has developed unique arc-ignition system that overcomes this problem and allows hybrids to be started, stopped, and restarted with a high degree of reliability, and requiring a low power input. The technology is derived from the unique electrical breakdown properties of 3-D printed plastics like ABS. Because ABS is an entirely new material for propulsion applications, and no database exists to describe the potential deleterious effects of the exhaust plume on spacecraft surfaces. Adsorption of propellant effluents on spacecraft surfaces can create multiple operational concerns; for example, deposition of molecules on solar arrays and thermal control surfaces can lead to decreased power production and increased spacecraft temperatures.
