Reactions of amine-boranes NH3BH3, Me2NHBH3, or Me3NBH3 with AlX3 (X = Cl, Br, I, C6F5) have been examined. The species AlBr3·H3BNMe3 2, Al(C6F5)3·H3BNMe3 3, Al(C6F5)3·H3BNHMe2 4 and Al(C6F5)3·H3BNH3 5 have been prepared and isolated. The analogous reaction of B(C6F5)3 and H3BNMe3 results in C6F5-transfer and the formation of (C6F5)BH2·NMe3 6. While the adduct 6 was unreactive to CO2, species 3...

Friction stir processing was applied for fabricating an aluminum alloy based hybrid nano composite reinforced with nano sized Al2O3 and micro sized graphite particles. A mixture of Al2O3 and graphite particles was packed into a groove with 1 mm width and 4.5 mm depth, which had been cut in 5083 aluminum plate of 10 mm thick. Packed groove was subjected to friction stir processing in order to im...

It is considered to be available in reducing the weight of automobiles that the aluminum alloy is applied to manufacture them. The spot welding of aluminum alloys is difficult because of high welding current and small electrical resistance. It is necessary to clarify the relation between the nugget formation and the welding conditions. In this study, the relation between the spot welding condit...

The analytical performance of laboratories participating in the dialysis fluids and water aluminum program of the Guildford External Quality Assessment Scheme over the period 1986-1993 has been reviewed. For aluminum concentrations > 3.33 mumol/L in dialysis fluids, the between-laboratory CV has fallen from approximately 36% to 23%, whereas for specimens of water the reduction was from 36% to a...

″Ultrathin″ metallization layers on the order of nanometers in thickness are increasingly used in semiconductor interconnects and other nanostructures. Aqueous deposition methods are attractive methods to produce such layers due to their low cost, but formation of ultrathin layers has proven challenging, particularly on oxide-coated substrates. This work focused on the formation of thin copper ...

We evaluated the effectiveness of metallic shields that were used for reduction of the breast dose in thoracic computed tomography(CT). For the evaluation, we measured breast surface dose and image standard deviation(SD)in the lung area. The metallic shields were made from bismuth, zinc, copper, and iron. The bismuth shield has been marketed and used for dose reduction. The other three metallic...

Precocene Analogues, Deuteration A convenient route for the preparation of title compounds from benzopyran-4-one (1) and its corresponding 3,3-H2 deuterated analogue (2) is reported. Treatment of 1 or 2 with lithium aluminum deuteride followed by dehydration afforded, respectively, 4-H precocene (3c) or 3,4-H2 precocene (3b). Likewise, reduction of 2 with lithium aluminum hydride and subsequent...

entropy as a measure of uncertainty was used to represent the results of the wavelet technique in electrochemical noise analysis. the experimental signals were obtained by recording the electrochemical potential and current noise of 7075 aluminum alloy in 3.5% nacl solution. the electrochemical potential and current noise were decomposed into 16 levels using daubechies wavelets. wavelet output ...

The diagnosis system for the alumina reduction was developed on the basis of BP neural network with optimization by genetic algorithm. The neural network used the characteristic vectors composed of the frequency energy calculated from cell resistance as 10 inputs and three cell statuses as 3 outputs. The neural network was certified by industrially sampling data. The results showed the accuracy...
