A new class of organosilane-modified polycarboxylate superplasticizers with low sulfate sensitivity

Assessment of the interaction of polycarboxylate superplasticizers in hydrated lime pastes modified with nanosilica or metakaolin as pozzolanic reactives

Two polycarboxylate ether copolymers were assessed as superplasticizers (SPs) for hydrated lime pastes modified with two reactive compounds, nanosilica (NS) and ceramic metakaolin (MK). Characterization of the molecular structure of the SPs by Size Exclusion Chromatography, XRD, FTIR and MALDI-TOF (Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time-of-Flight) mass spectrometry was performed. The ...

detection of volatile compounds of medicinal plants with some nano-sorbents using modified or new methodologies and investigation of antioxidant activity of their methanolic extracts

in this work, a novel and fast method for direct analysis of volatile compounds (davc) of medicinal plants has been developed by holding a filament from different parts of a plant in the gc injection port. the extraction and analysis of volatile components of a small amount of plant were carried out in one-step without any sample preparation. after optimization of temperature, extraction time a...

New operational matrix for solving a class of optimal control problems with Jumarie’s modified Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative

In this paper, we apply spectral method based on the Bernstein polynomials for solving a class of optimal control problems with Jumarie’s modified Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative. In the first step, we introduce the dual basis and operational matrix of product based on the Bernstein basis. Then, we get the Bernstein operational matrix for the Jumarie’s modified Riemann-Liouville fractio...

A Class E Power Amplifier with Low Voltage Stress

A new output structure for class E power amplifier (PA) is proposed in this paper. A series LC resonator circuit, tuned near the second harmonic of the operating frequency is added to the output circuit. This resonator causes low impedance at the second harmonic. The output circuit is designed to shape the switch voltage of the class E amplifier and lower the voltage stress of the transistor. T...
