Characteristics of overlap region in high-Reynolds number turbulent channel flow
No full textDirect numerical simulation of the fully developed turbulent channel flows have been carried out at the Reynolds number based on the friction velocity and the channel half width, 2000, 4000 and 8000. A hybrid 10th order accurate finite difference scheme in the stream and spanwise directions, and a second-order scheme in the wall-normal direction is adapted as the spatial discretization method. We observed the plateau profiles in the indicator function corresponded to the von Karman constant. Furthermore, second peak of streamwise pre-multiplied spectra were appeared in the same wall normal height, 300 < y+ < 600, in case of Re = 4000. Nevertheless, the effects of the lager than the channel half height scale on the streamwise turbulent intensity are fixed contributions without dependence on Reynolds number. These results suggested that the new streamwise vortexes are formed between buffer layer and outer layer with increasing of Reynolds number

How ICTs Raise Manufacturing Performance: Firm-level Evidence in Southeast Asia.
No full textThis paper examines the effects of information and communication technologies (ICTs) on business performance, using firm-level data obtained through a questionnaire survey in four ASEAN countries (Indonesia, The Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam). Sources of information and new technologies exchanged via ICTs by firms are also explored to investigate the mechanism behind ICT adoption. Empirical results verify that the introduction of ICT to reorganize business processes is significantly correlated with business performance, in particular the development of export markets and improvement of production management. ICTs facilitate access to information and technologies accumulated in in-house departments and joint-venture (JV) affiliates of the respondent firms. There are considerable differences between multinational companies (MNCs)/JVs and local firms. MNCs/JVs make use of information and technologies obtainable via ICTs from their own R&D departments, JVs established with local partners and foreign-owned suppliers/customers to improve factory management, mostly for product quality improvement and production cost reduction. In contrast, local firms interconnect their own R&D departments via ICTs to enhance their business performance in broader areas than MNCs/JVs, including the development of export markets.
Skin friction factor and mean velocity profile measured in high-reynolds-number turbulent pipe flow
No full textA friction factor in a fully developed pipe flow is measured very accurately over wide range Reynolds number from 103 to 107 at the high Reynolds number facility in AIST,NMIJ. Also a velocity profile is measured by using a LDV up to 106. From the comparison between a velocity profile and the friction factor, we found that a log-law profile is well observed and Kármán constant is estimated to be 0.385. Based on the measurements, we present a new functional form of the friction factor which is consistent with mean velocity profile
Triflyl-assisted reductive Pd-catalyzed Tsuji-Trost type reaction
No full textNew (triflyl)cyclobutenes have been prepared by palladium-catalyzed hydrodetriflylation reaction using water and deuterium oxide as convenient hydrogen and deuterium sources. In addition, an investigation of the possible mechanism for this Tsuji-Trost type reaction of bis(triflyl)cyclobutenes has been facilitated by labelling studies and density functional theory (DFT) calculations.This work was supported in part by AEI (MICIU) and FEDER

Mechanistic Investigations into the Palladium-Catalyzed Decarboxylative Allylic Alkylation of Ketone Enolates Using the PHOX Ligand Architecture
No full textPalladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation has become a large and important field for chemical synthesis. Many methodologies in this field offer mild conditions under which challenging and important molecular features can be reliably synthesized, including chiral all-carbon quaternary stereocenters. As a result, palladium- catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation has found significant use in total synthesis, and growing use in industry. While the general process of palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation has been studied for decades, there have been a number of recent modifications and developments, such as asymmetric versions of decarboxylative allylic alkylation procedures that are not yet well understood. The development of future implementations and improvements to palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation and related methodologies is expected to be facilitated by a better understanding of these more recent developments, and thus further mechanistic investigation is warranted.
Reported herein is a set of investigations into the palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative asymmetric allylic alkylation of ketone enolates using the PHOX ligand architecture. By monitoring the reaction via 31P NMR, a series of previously unidentified key intermediates is discovered. Two representatives of these key intermediates are isolated and characterized. The solution behavior of these species under reaction-like conditions is studied along with a few novel and related complexes. The role of these intermediates and their impact on the behavior of the reaction and product formation is discussed. Previously confounding experimentally observed behavior for this methodology is rationalized via the properties elucidated for these discovered intermediates.</p
Experimental study on a nonlinear vibration isolator based on a post-buckled inverted L-shaped beam
No full textIn this paper, the characteristics and the effectiveness of a nonlinear passive vibration isolator based on apost-buckled beam is investigated experimentally. The intended application is specifically isolation in thevertical direction where the isolator is required to be sufficiently stiff statically to bear the weight of theisolated mass. The isolator consists of two beams joined to form an inverted L-shape and the weight of theisolated mass is taken to act at the vertex. If the weight of isolated mass is larger than the buckling load of theL-shaped beam then the beam buckles in one of two modes, one of which is unstable. In this paper, the staticrestoring force of the unstable mode is measured and an appropriately selected coil spring is added tocounteract the negative stiffness of the beam. The resulting system presents a dramatically lower stiffness tosmall excursions about its equilibrium position in its buckled state but maintains its static load bearingcapability. Free vibration measurements are presented which show some amplitude dependency of the naturalfrequency for large amplitude motion. Low amplitude harmonic base excitation measurements are alsoconducted from which transmissibility measurements are obtained and compared with corresponding resultsfrom a Finite Element model. The fundamental resonance is about 80% lower than that achievable by acomparable linear isolator. However the potential improvement in isolation performance has not been fullyrealised in the prototype design due to the presence of higher frequency internal resonances of the isolator,mitigation of which is the focus of ongoing work
n-selective Tsuji–Trost allylation promoted by a recyclable TSIL-palladium complex
No full textThe Tsuji–Trost reaction of allylic acetates with nucleophiles is optimized using a task-specific ionic liquid (TSIL)-palladium complex in a very efficient manner. Several nucleophiles and allylic systems are studied obtaining very high yields of the corresponding products with total n-selectivity. The reaction is surveyed employing inexpensive allylic alcohols and 3-acyloxindole derivatives affording the expected allylated molecules after a deacylative process. The robustness of the catalytic system is assessed. The recovery and recycling of the whole catalytic system with the ionic liquid is also analyzed and the results are compared with previously reported articles in the literature.We gratefully acknowledge financial support from the Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades (projects CTQ2016-81893REDT, and RED2018-102387-T) the Spanish Ministerio de Economía, Industria y Competitividad, Agencia Estatal de Investigación (AEI) and Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (FEDER, EU) (projects CTQ2016-76782-P, CTQ2016-80375-P, CTQ2017-82935-P and PID2019-107268GB-I00), the Generalitat Valenciana (IDIFEDER/2021/013) and the University of Alicante (VIGROB-050, VIGROB-068, UADIF17-42 and UAUSTI16-02).
