An efficient synthesis of polyhydroquinoline derivatives was reported via four-component coupling reactions of aldehydes, 1,3-dicarbonyl ketones (dimedone or 1,3-cyclohexanedione), ethyl acetoacetate or methyl acetoacetate and ammonium acetate in the presence of a catalytic amount of nanocrystalline TiO2 under solvent free conditions. The reported method is mild, rapid and has the advantages su...

based on driving force for crystallization of one-component gas hydrate, in this report an expression for the supersaturation for crystallization of multicomponent gas hydrate is derived. expressions for the supersaturation are obtained in isothermal and isobaric regimes. the results obtained are applied to the crystallization of hydrates of mixtures of methane plus ethane and can apply to othe...

wax precipitate is one of the most serious issues the oil industry is currently facing, since it can cause some troubles such as increasing of the pressure losses in pipe which subsequently increases the required power for pumpage. to remove this problem, prediction of wax disappearance temperature (wdt) seems necessary. in this study, the pressure influence on the wax disappearance temperature...

Multivariate approaches have been applied successfully in the analysis of high throughput ”omics”data. Principal component analysis (PCA) has been shown to be useful in exploratory analysis of linear trends in biological data [1]. Culhane and colleagues employed a two table coupling method (co-inertia analysis, CIA) to examine covariant gene expression patterns between microarray datasets from ...

A typical situation in preparative chromatography is that a certain target component elutes somewhere in the middle of a train of other components present in the feed. In order to isolate efficiently this target component the operating conditions of conventional batch chromatography have to be optimized carefully. Nevertheless the achievable production rates and recovery yields are frequently l...
