A light cobalt catalyzed Fischer–Tropsch (FT) wax was subjected to hydrocracking in the range of temperature 319–351 °C and hydrogen pressure between 3.5 and 6.0 MPa. The catalyst used was platinum on amorphous silica–alumina. Hydrocracking reaction led to an increase of middle distillate yield up to 85% with a contemporary increase of iso-paraffins concentration which resulted in a remarkable improvement of cold flow properties of the products. The freezing point of C10–C14 fraction passed from ?23 to ?45 °C while the pour point of C15–C22 fraction decreased from 13 to ?23 °C. The latter fraction displayed high cetane numbers ranging between 75 and 80. Changes in carbon distribution and molecular structure of products during hydrocracking have been rationalized in the light of the accepted hydrocracking mechanism where n-paraffins undergo to consecutive isomerization reactions leading to isomers with progressively higher branching degree and concomitant cracking reaction. Experimental evidences support the view that apparent reactivity of n-paraffins is chain length dependent, increasing with the molecular weight. Detailed characterization by NMR and GC showed that branching groups abundance in the middle distillate products was the following: methyl ? ethyl > propyl.Emission tests carried out with FT diesel and commercial ultra low sulfur diesel showed that FT diesel has excellent combustion properties and leads to a reduction of emissions. 相似文献
Table olive quality depends on a number of factors, including fruit characteristics, ripening and processing technologies. Volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds, present both in the sample matrix and in the headspace aroma, are responsible for the olive fruit flavour influencing the consumer’s preference. 相似文献
Several DSP algorithms need to remove high-frequency or impulsive noise while preserving edges, e.g., in speech and image processing applications: median filtering has been proved to be more effective for achieving this goal than other filtering techniques. Efficient architectural implementation for real-time applications involves a careful VLSI design, which takes into account modularity, regularity, adaptability, scalability, throughput, circuit complexity and fault tolerance. Four new architectural approaches are presented and evaluated in this paper to deal with different application and implementation constraints. They are: the serial-input polarizing median filter, the floating median filter, the pipelined polarizing median filter and the pipelined sorting median filter. The 1st and the 2nd architectures are based on majority voting, while the 3rd and the 4th ones are based on sorting techniques. All of them are designed so as to exhibit high scalability and to be easily pipelined for higher working frequencies. 相似文献
A novel fullerene [5:1]hexakisadduct bearing two 2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidine 1‐oxyl (TEMPO) radicals and ten 1‐propyl‐3‐methylimidazolium bromide moieties has been synthesized and characterized. Such an C60IL10TEMPO2 hybrid has been successfully employed as a catalyst in the selective oxidation of a wide series of alcohols and is highly active at just 0.1 mol% loading. Moreover, it can be easily recovered by adsorption onto a multi‐layered covalently‐linked SILP phase (mlc‐SILP) through a “release and catch” approach and reused for up to 12 cycles without loss in efficiency. Interestingly, a catalytic synergistic effect of TEMPO and imidazolium bromide moieties combined in the same hybrid has been clearly shown.
“场所精神”早在古罗马的传统信仰文化中就有所体现,古罗马人认为,每一种“独立的”本体(包括人和场所)都有自己的灵魂(genius)守护神灵,灵魂赋予本体以生命,如影随形,始终决定其外在的特征并反映其内在的本质。从“genius loci”这个词的组合上就可以看出,“genius”表示“What a thing is”,即“物之为何”,意味着理解力(intel igence)或精神技能的最高水平,而“loci”则为“地点”、“场所”之意,又“特定已知存在的地方”或“某事物的中心所在”,合起来就成为了一个标识场所本质的词条。而在某种意义上讲,场所也被认为是“一个人记忆的一种物体化和空间化”,或是“对一个地方的认同感和归属感”。著名的城市建筑学家诺贝格·舒尔茨(Christian Norberg-Schulz)在1979年明确提出“场所精神”的概念,认为场所是具有清晰特性的空间。如今,“场所精神”经常被用来指具有与众不同的氛围的场所或地点,或者是某种“精神性的场所(spirit of place)”,而不仅仅指某一位守护神。而在同种类型的建筑当中,其“场所精神”所表现出的气质往往是相同的,以至于每一类别的建筑都有其共通的“场所精神”,反映着相似的内在本质。这也在一定程度上诠释了为什么具备同种精神职能的建筑能够赋予人们同样的心灵体验。通常情况下,建筑艺术通过一些相类似的外在特征来表现这种近乎“同一”的内涵。例如,传统佛教建筑就常常通过“聚集”或“向心”的符号象征来重现佛陀讲经说法时的场景,并表达宇宙人生的真相。无论何时何地,只要不偏离符号象征的原型(prototype),这种“场所精神”就能够得到有效的延续。 相似文献
In this work, the degradation phenomena and the release kinetics of an active molecule from matrices systems made of random copolymers of ε-caprolactone (CL) and l-lactide (LA) were investigated by exposing the matrices, shaped as thin films, to simulated physiological environments. α-tocopherol was incorporated into the films as hydrophobic model molecule with the aim to investigate both its release pattern and its effect on erosion phenomena. In particular, the films have been kept at controlled conditions (temperature, stirring, pH) and they were characterized in terms of weight loss, water uptake, thermal properties, and change of number average molecular weight, in order to explain the molecule release kinetics and the degradation pathways of the copolymers. The main findings of this study are that the erosion phenomena take place significantly only when a critical value of the molecular mass was obtained in the sample; that the presence of the drug stabilizes the matrix and it decreases the rate of molecular mass decrease; and that crystallinity, reducing the chain mobility, causes lower erosion rates. 相似文献
