Contracts play an important role in business management where relationships among different parties are dictated by legal rules. Electronic contracts have emerged mostly due to technological advances and electronic trading between companies and customers. New challenges have then arisen to guarantee reliability among the stakeholders in electronic negotiations. In this scenario, automatic verification of electronic contracts appeared as an imperative support, specially the conflict detection task of multi-party contracts. The problem of checking contracts has been largely addressed in the literature, but there are few, if any, methods and practical tools that can deal with multi-party contracts using a contract language with deontic and dynamic aspects as well as relativizations, over the same formalism. In this work we present an automatic checker for finding conflicts on multi-party contracts modeled by an extended contract language with deontic operators and relativizations. Moreover a well-known case study of sales contract is modeled and automatically verified by our tool. Further, we performed practical experiments in order to evaluate the efficiency of our method and the practical tool.
Ethylene-propylene copolymers have been prepared by using Ziegler-Natta catalysts based on TiCl4, MgCl2, PCl3 and (n-Bu)3PO4. The catalysts TiCl4/MgCl2/PCl3 and TiCl4/MgCl2/(n-Bu)3PO4 were prepared by reacting TiCl4 with pretreated MgCl2. The support was prepared by ball milling of MgCl2 with varied amounts of PCl3 or (n-Bu)3PO4. The addition of PCl3 has remarkably increased the MgCl2 surface area in comparison with (n-Bu)3PO4. The effects of PCl3 and (n-Bu)3PO4 on ethylene homopolymerization, ethylene-propylene copolymerization and on copolymer properties were evaluated. The catalyst
system containing PCl3 permitted to synthesize propylene-ethylene copolymers with up to 75% (w/w) of propylene and provided control of copolymer
crystallinity. The reduction of the copolymer molecular weight distribution suggested that PCl3 acted as an internal donor, poisoning some active catalytic sites.

Summary
The preparation of a chelating ion-exchange network based on acrylonitrile was carried out by chemical modification with hydroxylamine.
The beads of resin were synthesized by aqueous suspension copolymerization of acrylonitrile (AN), styrene (STY) and divinylbenzene
(DVB). The influence of diluent used in the suspension polymerization on the structure of the resulting copolymers was evaluated.
The diluents employed were heptane (HEP), toluene (TOL) and anisole (ANI). It was found that the AN incorporation into copolymer
structure was dependent on the diluent used. Conversion of nitrile groups into the amidoxime was conducted by treatment with
hydroxylamine under alkaline solution. The resins were characterized by apparent density, surface area, average pore diameter,
elemental analysis (CHN), FTIR and optical microscopy. Based on the results obtained, it was possible to control the porosity
by diluent employed in the synthesis and to modify chemically a resin containing nitrile groups by hydroxylamine reaction.

In this work, hydrogen peroxide reactions, i.e. H2O2 decomposition and oxidation of organics in aqueous medium, were studied in the presence of activated carbon. It was observed that the carbon pre-treatment with H2 at 300, 500, 700 and 800 °C resulted in an increase in activity for both reactions. The carbons were characterized by BET nitrogen adsorption, thermogravimetric analyses (TG), temperature programmed reduction (TPR), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), iodometric titration and determination of the acid/basic sites. TPR experiments showed that activated carbon reacts with H2 at temperatures higher than 400 °C. The treatment produces a slight increase in the surface area. EPR analyses indicate the absence of unpaired electrons in the carbon. Iodometric titrations and TG analyses suggested that the treatment with H2 generates reduction sites in the carbon structure, with concentration of approximately 0.33, 0.53, 0.59, 0.65 and 0.60 mmol/g for carbons treated at 25, 300, 500, 700 and 800 °C, respectively. It was also observed the appearance of basic sites which might be related to the reduction sites. It is proposed that these reducing sites in the carbon can activate H2O2 to generate HO* radicals which can lead to two competitive reactions, i.e. the hydrogen peroxide decomposition or the oxidation of organics in water. 相似文献
The cis-[Ru(dppb)(Me-bipy)(NCS)2], dppb = 1,4-bis (diphenylphosphino)butane, Me-bipy = 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine, and NCS = thiocyanate, was synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques and its structure was determined by crystal X-ray analysis. The crystal structure reveals that the coordination geometry around the Ru(II) center is distorted octahedron where two molecules of thiocyanate are bonded to the ruthenium through nitrogen atom in cis orientation. The half-wave formal potential value E1/2 = 0.8 V (versus Ag/AgCl) observed is considerable higher than that for the cis-[RuCl2(dppb)(Me-bipy)] complex, E1/2 = 0.6 V (versus Ag/AgCl), well illustrating the strong π-acceptor effect the NCS ligand toward the backbonding interaction with the Ru(II) metal center. The MLCT absorption bands of the thiocyanate complex present a higher molar absorptivity (about 12%) compared with the cis-[RuCl2(dppb)(Me-bipy)] complex, in the same experimental conditions. These properties make the complex potentially promising for the photosensitization process. 相似文献
Summary The effect of di-n-butyl ether (DBE) in the synthesis of a highly active propylene polymerization catalyst was studied. Electron-donors having ester and phosphate groups (ethyl benzoate-EB, diisobutyl phthalate-DIBP and tri-n-butyl phosphate-TBP) were added as second internal bases (IB2) to the catalysts prepared by the reduction of TiCl4 with AlClEt2 (DEAC) in the presence of DBE as a first internal base (IB1). The crystalline forms were examined for all catalyst samples by X-ray method. Special attention has been paid to the -TiCl3 samples showing the best catalytic properties. These catalysts were evaluated in propylene polymerization in the absence and presence of external bases (EB, DIBP and DBE). The effects of internal and external bases on the catalyst activity and stereo-specificity are discussed. 相似文献
