Copper(I) Bromide‐Dimethyl Sulfide‐Catalyzed Direct Sulfanylation of 4‐Hydroxycoumarins and 4‐Hydroxyquinolinones with Arylsulfonylhydrazides and Selective Fluorescence Switch‐ On Sensing of Cadmium(II) Ion in Water

An efficient protocol for the direct sulfanylation of various 4‐hydroxycoumarins and 4‐hydroxyquinolinones in good yield with arylsulfonylhydrazides as sulfanylating agents was developed via copper(I) bromide⋅dimethyl sulfide‐catalyzed S–O, S–N bond cleavage and C–S cross‐coupling reactions. A highly selective fluorescence turning‐on sensing of cadmium(II) ions in water using the synthesized 3‐sulfanyl‐4‐hydroxycoumarin derivative was also investigated.

Experimental and numerical analysis of seasonal solar‐energy storage in buildings

This paper presents seasonal‐energy storage of solar energy for the heating of buildings. We distinguish several types of seasonal storage, such as latent, sensible, and chemical storage, among which the thermochemical storage is used and analysed in this research. In the first part, a laboratory heat‐storage tank, which was made in the laboratory for heating, sanitary, and solar technology and air conditioning from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, was presented. The experimental model was tested for charging and discharging mode. Two types of numerical models for sorption thermal‐energy storage exist, which are microscale and macroscale (integral). For microscale analysis, the analysis system (ANSYS) model can be used to simulate the behaviour in the adsorption reactor. On macroscale or integral scale, TRaNsient SYStem (TRNSYS) model was used to perform the operation of the storages on the yearly basis. In the second part the simulation of the underfloor heating system operation with a built‐in storage tank was carried out for two locations, Ljubljana and Portoro?. Furthermore, the comparison between a thermochemical and sensible‐heat storage was performed with TRNSYS and Excel software. In this comparison, the focus was on the surface parameters of the SCs and volume of the thermal‐storage tank for the coverage of the energy demand for selected building. With this analysis, we would like to show the advantage of the thermochemical storage system, to provide greater coverage of the energy demand for the operation of the building, compared with the seasonal sensible‐heat storage (SSHS). Such a heat‐storage technology could, in the future, be a key contributor to the more environmentally friendly and more sustainable way of delivering energy needs for buildings.     

An OpenCL library for parallel random number generators

Discussion

The use of Stein estimation in multiple linear regression is considered. Tables and graphs are presented that compare the prediction mean squared errors of positive-part James-Stein, preliminary-test, reduced, and full-model least squares estimates. The appropriateness of using Stein contraction on possibly extraneous variables is emphasized, and a procedure is presented for evaluating the likely savings in using Stein estimation on the problem at hand. An example is given.     

Effects of international collaboration and status of journal on impact of papers

This study examines the effect of international collaboration of Slovenian authors and the status of journals where papers are published (as determined by their impact factors) on the impact of papers as measured by the number of citations papers receive. Research programme groups working in Slovenia in the 2004–2008 period in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, biotechnology, and medical science were used for analyses. The results of the analyses show that the effects of the two factors differ among the fields. We discuss possible reasons for this, including the possibility that differences are the result of Slovenia’s science policy.     

GPS‐Based Orbit Determination for KOMPSAT‐5 Satellite

Korea Multi‐Purpose Satellite‐5 (KOMPSAT‐5) is the first satellite in Korea that provides 1 m resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. Precise orbit determination (POD) using a dual‐frequency IGOR receiver data is performed to conduct high‐resolution SAR images. We suggest orbit determination strategies based on a differential GPS technique. Double‐differenced phase observations are sampled every 30 seconds. A dynamic model approach using an estimation of general empirical acceleration every 6 minutes through a batch least‐squares estimator is applied. The orbit accuracy is validated using real data from GRACE and KOMPSAT‐2 as well as simulated KOMPSAT‐5 data. The POD results using GRACE satellite are adjusted through satellite laser ranging data and compared with publicly available reference orbit data. Operational orbit determination satisfies 5 m root sum square (RSS) in one sigma, and POD meets the orbit accuracy requirements of less than 20 cm and 0.003 cm/s RSS in position and velocity, respectively.
