a simple, efficient and clean procedure has been developed for the cleavage of imines c=n bond. deprotection of imines to their parent carbonyl and amine compounds was achieved using p-toluenesulfonic acid in the solid state condition at 25-45 ˚c. the salient features of this methodology are shorter reaction times, cheap processing, high yields of product and easy availability of the catalyst. ...

In many of its current and potential applications, technologists treat the surface cellulose to render it more hydrophobic. By use a variety hydrophobic sizing treatment strategies, bulk phase becomes covered up with layer having lower polarity less inclination interact water. Often, goal is relatively low amount additive cover or change just cellulosic material, while still benefiting from str...

platform for publishing and analyzing environmental data by using semantic Web standards. The data concern the chemistry and the biology of the water in Arctic and subarctic regions. These data sets are structured in a series of measurements made during summer sampling collections. This platform is a first prototype which demonstrates the interest in publishing and exploiting the data using sem...

The function and performance of networks rely on their robustness, defined as their ability to continue functioning in the face of damage (targeted attacks or random failures) to parts of the network. Prior research has proposed a variety of measures to quantify robustness and various manipulation strategies to alter it. In this paper, our contributions are twofold. First, we critically analyze...

The SharedPlans formalization of collaboration (Grosz and Kraus 1999) stipulates that collaborating agents must commit to certain decision-making processes, but it does not specify those processes. This paper presents a mechanism for group decision making that may be applied to the decisions that agents involved in a SharedPlan need to make: adopting the initial commitment, selecting a recipe, ...
