4s-ferrugineone and 4s,5s-ferrugineol as pheromones of palm weevils were synthesized in 3 and 4 steps, respectively, starting from nonane-5-one employing samp-/ramp -hydrazone methodology. 5-nonanone is transformed to its corresponding ramp hydrazone by reaction with the enantiomerically pure hydrazine ramp. metalation with lithium diisopropylamide (lda) in ether to form azaenolate, followed by...

early triassic carbonate ramp sediments of the lower part of the elika formation are known as vermicular limestone. in the moro mountain, northwest iran, the vermicular limestone includes bioturbated dolomitic mudstone, bioclastic packstone and grainstone, algal calcirudite and intraclastic grainstone. these sediments accumulated in their lower part in open marine subtidal and shoal environment...

The overall objective of this research project is the development and evaluation of a flexible and cooperative management system within SME based production networks for the ramp-up process. Inter-organizational processes of six previous ramp ups were analyzed and documented in flow charts. Highlevel executives and domain-experts of the production nets developed in moderated focus-groups standa...

Wind energy is playing an important part for ecologically friendly power supply. Important aspects for the integration of wind power into the grid are sudden and large changes known as wind power ramp events. In this work, we treat the wind power ramp event detection problem as classification problem, which we solve with support vector machines. Wind power features from neighbored turbines are ...

Another goal of the program is to assess the effectiveness of “ramp-up,” a common mitigation protocol in which source levels are gradually increased prior to the onset of full-level transmissions. Ramp-up is thought to give nearby animals some time to move away before sonar transmissions reach maximum levels. However, it is unknown whether or not this protocol is actually effective. We have dev...

Ramp schemes are means by which a (large) secret can be shared among a group of participants in such a way that only sets of at least k participants can reconstruct the secret and the amount of information that of less than k participants can obtain is strictly controlled. This is of the concept of a threshold scheme. The current theory concerning ramp schemes will be here alongside some new re...

Long Josephson tunnel junctions are non-linear transmission lines that allow propagation of current vortices (fluxons) and electromagnetic waves and are used in various applications within superconductive electronics. Recently, the Josephson vortex has been proposed as a new superconducting qubit. We describe a simple method to create a double-well potential for an individual fluxon trapped in ...
