    Optoelectronic technologies to boost photobioreactors for algae production: from pulsed light sources to PV integrated net zero system

    No full text
    Micro-Algae production has seen growth of interest as a renewable source of food, nutraceutical, and biofuels. In this work we studied the integration of light emitting diodes (LED) in photobioreactors (PBRs) to increase the algal production efficiency. A multiwavelength LED light source with selectable intensity able to operate under continuous wave irradiation (CW) or with high intensity, short pulses, has been developed. The efficiency of biomass production has been examined both for CW and pulsed operations. The efficiency obtained with the Photovoltaic (PV) + LED light source is then compared to that of the solar radiation to analyze the performances of an indoor and outdoor system

    Conformational Preferences For N,n-dimethyl-2-haloacetamides (halo=f, Cl, Br And I) Through Theoretical And Experimental Studies: An Unexpected Orbital Interaction

    No full text
    Conformational preferences and orbital interactions of N,N-dimethyl-2- fluoroacetamide (1), N,N-dimethyl-2-chloroacetamide (2), N,N-dimethyl-2- bromoacetamide (3) and N,N-dimethyl-2-iodoacetamide (4) were analyzed using experimental infra-red data, theoretical calculations and NBO analysis. The conformational equilibria of compounds 1-4 can be represented by their cis and gauche rotamers. The gauche form of 1 is stable in the vapor phase and in a non-polar solvent, but the cis is predominant in a polar solvent. For 2-4 the gauche form is more stable than the cis, in both the vapor and liquid phases. These conformational preferences were attributed to the orbital interaction between two antibonding orbitals, π* C=O→σ*C-X. This unexpected interaction was possibly due to the high (0.3) electron density on π* C=O, which results from the interaction between one nitrogen lone pair and π*C=O. © 2005 Elsevier B.V.

    Experimental And Theoretical Studies Of Intramolecular Hydrogen Bonding In 3-hydroxytetrahydropyran: Beyond Aim Analysis

    No full text
    The conformational preferences of 3-hydroxytetrahydropyran (1) were evaluated using infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic data in solvents of different polarities. Theoretical calculations in the isolated phase and including the solvent effect were performed, showing that the most stable conformations for compound 1 are those containing the substituent in the axial and equatorial orientations. The axial conformation is more stable in the isolated phase and in a nonpolar solvent, while the equatorial conformation is more stable than the axial in polar media. The occurrence of intramolecular hydrogen-bonded O-H⋯O in the axial conformer was detected from infrared spectra in a nonpolar solvent at different concentrations. Our attempt to evaluate this interaction using population natural bond orbital and topological quantum theory of atoms in molecules analyses failed, but topological noncovalent interaction analysis was capable of characterizing it. © 2014 American Chemical Society.1181527942800Eliel, E.L., Samuel, H.W., Doyle, M.P., (2001) Basic Organic Stereochemistry, , Wiley-Interscience: New YorkCortéz-Guzman, F., Hernández-Trujillo, J., Cuevas, G., The Nonexistence of Repulsive 1,3-diaxial Interactions in Monosubstituted Cyclohexanes (2003) J.

    Effect Of Sulfur Oxidation On The Transmission Mechanism Of4jhh Nmr Coupling Constants In 1,3-dithiane

    No full text
    Long-range 4JHH couplings in 1,3-dithiane derivatives are rationalized in terms of the effects of hyperconjugative interactions involving the S=0 group. Theoretical and experimental studies of 4JHH couplings were carried out in 1,3-dithiane-l-oxide (2), cw-l,3-dithiane-l,3-dioxide (3), l,3-dithiane-l,l,3-trioxide (4), and 1,3-dithiane-1,1,3,3-tetraoxide (5) compounds. Hyperconjugative interactions were studied with the natural bond orbital, NBO, method. Hyperconjugative interactions involving the LP O, oxygen lone pair and σ*C2-S1 and σ*S1-C6 antibonding orbitals yield an increase of 4JHeq-Heq couplings. Long-range 4JHax-Hax couplings were also observed between hydrogen atoms in axial orientation, which are rationalized as originating in hyperconjugative interactions involving the bonding σC6-h axand antibonding σ*S=O orbitals. The symmetry for orbital interactions is possible only when the S=0 group is in the axial orientation. © 2009 American Chemical Society.1131126472651Soncini, A., Lazzeretti, P., (2003) J. Chem.

    A Multi-Language Comparison of Influences on Author Verification using Character N-Grams

    No full text
    We create a new multi-language corpus for author verification based on Wikipedia talkpages, and evaluate the influence that differences in topic and time have on character n-gram author profiles. Topic alignment between two texts is found to increase author verification precision, and an authors writing style is found to change over time, but not more significantly after 3 years than after 1 year.Information ArchitectureWISElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    No full text
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    The vanishing author in computer-generated works: a critical analysis of recent Australian case law

    No full text
    Abstract The use of software is ubiquitous in the creation of many copyright works, yet the requirement in copyright law that every work have a human author who engages in independent intellectual effort means that its use may prevent copyright subsistence. Several recent Australian cases have refocused attention on authorship as an essential criterion of copyright subsistence, and these cases suggest that much computer-produced output may be authorless and thus lack copyright protection. This article, the first in a two-part series, analyses how each case deals with the question of authorship of computer-produced works and why the use of software diminishes copyright protection for a significant number of computer-generated works. The article critiques the application of conventional notions of human authorship developed in the pre-computer age to modern productions and suggests alternative approaches to authorship that satisfy both the major objectives of copyright policy and the need to adapt to the computer age. The article argues that, without a broader judicial approach to authorship of computer-generated works, Parliament must remedy the lacuna in protection for these ‘authorless’ works. Possible solutions for reform are suggested. In a forthcoming article, the author comprehensively examines those reform proposals

    Spectroscopic and theoretical studies of some N-methoxy-N-methyl-2-[(4 `-substituted) phenylthio]propanamides

    The analysis of the IR carbonyl band of the N-methoxy-N-methyl-2-[(4`-substituted)phenylthio]propanamides Y-PhSCH(Me)C(O)N(OMe)Me (Y=OMe 1, Me 2, H 3, Cl 4, NO(2) 5), supported by B3LYP/cc-pVDZ calculations of 3, indicated the existence of two gauche conformers (g(1) and g(2)), the g(1) conformer being the more stable and the less polar one (in gas phase and in solution). Both conformers are present in solution of the polar solvents (CH(2)Cl(2) and CH(3)CN) for 1-5 and in solution of the less polar solvent (CHCl(3)) for 1-4, while only the g(1) conformer is present in solution of non polar solvents (n-C(6)H(14) and CCl(4)) and in solution of CHCl(3) for 5. NBO analysis shows that both the sigma(C-S) -> pi*(C=O) (hyperconjugative) and the pi(C=O) -> sigma*(C-S) orbital interactions contribute almost to the same extent for the stabilization of g(1) and g(2) conformers. The pi*(C=O) -> sigma*(C-S), n(S) -> pi*(C=O) and the n(S) -> pi*(C=O) orbital interactions stabilize more the g(1) conformer than the g(2) one. Moreover, the suitable geometry of the g(1) conformer leads to its stabilization through the LP(O2) -> sigma*(C8-H11) orbital interaction (hydrogen bond) along with the strong O([CO])(delta-) center dot center dot center dot H([O-Ph])(delta+) electrostatic interaction. On the other hand, the appropriate geometry of the g(2) conformer leads to its stabilization by the LP(O22) -> sigma*(C9-H13) orbital interaction (hydrogen bond) along with the weak O([OMe])(delta-) center dot center dot center dot H([o`-Ph])(delta+) electrostatic static interaction. As for the 4`-nitro derivative 5 the ortho-phenyl hydrogen atom becomes more acidic, leading to a stronger O([CO])(delta-) center dot center dot center dot H([o-Ph])(delta+) interaction and, thus, into a larger stabilization of the g(1) conformer in the whole series. This trend is responsible for the unique IR carbonyl band in CHCl(3) solution of 5. The larger occupancy of the pi*(C=O) orbital of the g(1) conformer relative to that of the g(2) conformer, along with the O([CO])(delta-) center dot center dot center dot H([o-Ph])(delta+) electrostatic interaction (hydrogen bond) justifies the lower carbonyl frequency of the g(1) conformer with respect to the g(2) one, in gas phase and in solution.

    Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)

    No full text
    This study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)
