Fructose can be efficiently converted to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural by using the functionalized ionic liquid 3-(2-chloroethyl)-1-methylimidazolium chloride as both solvent and catalyst in the presence of water. This work advances the field and is distinct from earlier efforts in the sense that the observed yields of HMF from fructose are rather high and the reaction conditions rather mild and neut...

We consider the estimation of mean a multivariate normal distribution with known variance. Most studies risk competing estimators, that is trace squared error matrix. In contrast we whole matrix, in particular its eigenvalues. prove there are only two distinct eigenvalues and apply our findings to James–Stein Thompson class estimators. It turns out famous Stein paradox no longer when matrix rat...
