The temperature and pressure dependence of the addition reaction of ethyl methyl ketone (EMK) with HȮ2 radical has been calculated using the master equation method employing conventional transition state theory estimates for the microcanonical rate coefficients in the temperature range of 600–1600 K. Geometries, frequencies, and hindrance potentials were obtained at the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level ...

The enantioselective Michael addition using water as both nucleophile and solvent has to date proved beyond the ability of synthetic chemists. Herein, the direct, enantioselective Michael addition of water in water to prepare important β-hydroxy carbonyl compounds using whole cells of Rhodococcus strains is described. Good yields and excellent enantioselectivities were achieved with this method...

Quantum addition channels have been recently introduced in the context of deriving entropic power inequalities for finite dimensional quantum systems. We prove a reverse entropy power equality which can be used to analytically prove an inequality conjectured recently for arbitrary dimension and arbitrary addition weight. We show that the relative entropic difference between the output of such a...

When designing elliptic-function filters there is usually some margin in performance to be distributed over the defining parameters. A recent paper offered some comparatively complicated formulas for use in this stage of the design. However, a simpler method, originally due to Darlington, is available and i s described briefly. passband ripple is again given by (2). ‘The cd function is the same...

We show connections between a special type of addition formulas and a theorem of Stieltjes and Rogers. We use different techniques to derive the desirable addition formulas. We apply our approach to derive special addition theorems for Bessel functions and confluent hypergeometric functions. We also derive several addition theorems for basic hypergeometric functions. Applications to the evaluat...

A novel method of concealing information is proposed. Encrypted data is mixed with noise to add the security. The cost of an attack increases linearly with the size of the added noise. Since generating noise is cheap, the size of noise can be as large as possible. However, there are issues in automatically detecting and separating noise in the intended recipient end. This stegocrypto method als...

This paper describes a fully static Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) implementation of a Ling type adder. The implementation described herein saves up to one gate delay and always reduces the number of serial transistors in the worst-case (critical) path over the conventional carry look-ahead (CLA) approach with a negligible increase in hardware.
