Selected Abstracts1:1 Adducts of 2,2,-[isopropylidenebis(p -phenyleneoxy)]diacetic acid with dimethylammonium and 4,4,-bipyridineACTA CRYSTALLOGRAPHICA SECTION C, Issue 11 2009Ze-Bao Zheng The title compounds, dimethylammonium 2-{4-[1-(4-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-1-methylethyl]phenoxy}acetate, C2H8N+·C19H19O6,, (I), and 2,2,-[isopropylidenebis(p -phenyleneoxy)]diacetic acid,4,4,-bipyridine (1/1), C19H20O6·C10H8N2, (II), are 1:1 adducts of 2,2,-[isopropylidenebis(p -phenyleneoxy)]diacetic acid (H2L) with dimethylammonium or 4,4,-bipyridine. The component ions in (I) are linked by N,H...O, O,H...O and C,H...O hydrogen bonds into continuous two-dimensional layers parallel to the (001) plane. Adjacent layers are stacked via C,H...O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network with an ,ABAB, alternation of the two-dimensional layers. In (II), two H2L molecules, one bipy molecule and two half bipy molecules are linked by O,H...N hydrogen bonds into one-dimensional chains and rectanglar-shaped rings. They are assembled via,,, stacking interactions and C,H...O hydrogen bonds into an intriguing zero-dimensional plus one-dimensional poly(pseudo)rotaxane motif.

The NaO6 octahedra are linked by edge sharing in the equatorial plane to form one-dimensional infinite chains. These chains are linked together by the malonate bridges to form two-dimensional layers. The distorted VO5N2 pentagonal bipyramid is grafted on to the layer by a malonate carboxylate O atom. Adjacent layers are connected through O,H...O and N,H...O hydrogen bonds to build up a three-dimensional supramolecular structure.

The coordinated water molecules are involved in intralayer hydrogen-bond interactions. Adjacent layers are linked via hydrogen bonding to the solvent water molecules. This work represents the first example of a new substituted malonate,lanthanide complex. [source] 2-D/3-D multiply transmitted, converted and reflected arrivals in complex layered media with the modified shortest path methodGEOPHYSICAL JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL, Issue 1 2009Chao-Ying Bai SUMMARY Grid-cell based schemes for tracing seismic arrivals, such as the finite difference eikonal equation solver or the shortest path method (SPM), are conventionally confined to locating first arrivals only. However, later arrivals are numerous and sometimes of greater amplitude than the first arrivals, making them valuable information, with the potential to be used for precise earthquake location, high-resolution seismic tomography, real-time automatic onset picking and identification of multiple events on seismic exploration data. The purpose of this study is to introduce a modified SPM (MSPM) for tracking multiple arrivals comprising any kind of combination of transmissions, conversions and reflections in complex 2-D/3-D layered media. A practical approach known as the multistage scheme is incorporated into the MSPM to propagate seismic wave fronts from one interface (or subsurface structure for 3-D application) to the next. By treating each layer that the wave front enters as an independent computational domain, one obtains a transmitted and/or converted branch of later arrivals by reinitializing it in the adjacent layer, and a reflected and/or converted branch of later arrivals by reinitializing it in the incident layer. A simple local grid refinement scheme at the layer interface is used to maintain the same accuracy as in the one-stage MSPM application in tracing first arrivals. Benchmark tests against the multistage fast marching method are undertaken to assess the solution accuracy and the computational efficiency. Several examples are presented that demonstrate the viability of the multistage MSPM in highly complex layered media. Even in the presence of velocity variations, such as the Marmousi model, or interfaces exhibiting a relatively high curvature, later arrivals composed of any combination of the transmitted, converted and reflected events are tracked accurately. This is because the multistage MSPM retains the desirable properties of a single-stage MSPM: high computational efficiency and a high accuracy compared with the multistage FMM scheme. [source] A practical grid-based method for tracking multiple refraction and reflection phases in three-dimensional heterogeneous mediaGEOPHYSICAL JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL, Issue 1 2006M. De Kool SUMMARY We present a practical grid-based method in 3-D spherical coordinates for computing multiple phases comprising any number of reflection and transmission branches in heterogeneous layered media. The new scheme is based on a multistage approach which treats each layer that the wave front enters as a separate computational domain. A finite-difference eikonal solver known as the fast-marching method (FMM) is reinitialized at each interface to track the evolving wave front as either a reflection back into the incident layer or a transmission through to the adjacent layer. Unlike the standard FMM, which only finds first arrivals, this multistage approach can track those later arriving phases explicitly caused by the presence of discontinuities. Notably, the method does not require an irregular mesh to be constructed in order to connect interface nodes to neighbouring velocity nodes which lie on a regular grid. To improve accuracy, local grid refinement is used in the neighbourhood of a source point where wave front curvature is high. The method also provides a way to trace reflections from an interface that are not the first arrival (e.g. the global PP phase). These are computed by initializing the multistage FMM from both the source and receiver, propagating the two wave fronts to the reflecting interface, and finding stationary points of the sum of the two traveltime fields on the reflecting interface. A series of examples are presented to test the efficiency, accuracy and robustness of the new scheme. As well as efficiently computing various global phases to an acceptable accuracy through the ak135 model, we also demonstrate the ability of the scheme to track complex crustal phases that may be encountered in coincident reflection, wide-angle reflection/refraction or local earthquake surveys. In one example, a variety of phases are computed in the presence of a realistic subduction zone, which includes several layer pinch-outs and a subducting slab. Our numerical tests show that the new scheme is a practical and robust alternative to conventional ray tracing for finding various phases in layered media at a variety of scales.

The crosslinkage of CdO6 octahedra by bridging phosphonate ligands results in a cadmium(II) phosphonate layer. Within the layer, there exists a 16-membered ring incorporating four ,Cd,O,P,O, linkages. The uncoordinated carboxyl group of the ligand is oriented so that it penetrates the adjacent layer, taking part in hydrogen bonding to two uncoordinated phosphonate O atoms to form a CO2H/HO2P motif.

Kirillova Abstract The new water-soluble 2D Cu/Na coordination polymer [Cu(,-dipic)2{Na2(,-H2O)4}]n·2nH2O (1) has been synthesized by self-assembly in aqueous medium from copper(II) nitrate, dipicolinic acid (H2dipic) and sodium hydroxide in the presence of triethanolamine. It has been characterized by IR spectroscopy, FAB+ -MS, elemental and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses, the latter featuring a layered 2D metal,organic structure that is extended to a 3D supramolecular assembly by extensive hydrogen bonding between adjacent layers and involving crystallization water molecules. Compound 1 has been shown to act as a catalyst precursor for the peroxidative oxidation of cyclohexane and cyclopentane to the corresponding cyclic ketones and alcohols by aqueous H2O2 in MeCN solution and in the absence of acid additives.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses revealed a two- and a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network for compounds 2 and 3, respectively. Compound 2 is composed of layers which are formed by hydrogen-bonded motifs of the type R2,2(8) and R4,4(16). These motifs are connected within the layer by additional hydrogen bonds and the benzene spacer. The cation [4-(Me2N)C5H4NH]+ is located between the layers and determines the interlayer separation of approximately 6.5 Å. In compound 3 a layered network of the hydrogen-bonded building units R2,3(10) was observed. These units are interconnected by four additional hydrogen bonds within the network. The benzene spacer links the adjacent layers to give a three-dimensional structure. Within this network, channels with internal dimensions of ca. 8.5 × 11.3 Å2 which are occupied by the [4-(Me2N)C5H4NH]+ cations were observed. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Pervago ABSTRACT The analytical solution and algorithm for simulating the electric potential in an arbitrarily anisotropic multilayered medium produced by a point DC source is here proposed. The solution is presented as a combination of Hankel transforms of integer order and Fourier transforms based on the analytical recurrent equations obtained for the potential spectrum. For the conversion of the potential spectrum into the space domain, we have applied the algorithm of the Fast Fourier Transform for logarithmically spaced points. A comparison of the modelling results with the power-series solution for two-layered anisotropic structures demonstrated the high accuracy and computing-time efficiency of the method proposed. The results of the apparent-resistivity calculation for both traditional pole-pole and tensor arrays above three-layered sequence with an azimuthally anisotropic second layer are presented. The numerical simulations show that both arrays have the same sensitivity to the anisotropy parameters. This sensitivity depends significantly on the resistivity ratio between anisotropic and adjacent layers and increases for the models with a conductive second layer. [source] A comparative analysis of the differential spatial and temporal distributions of the large (aggrecan, versican) and small (decorin, biglycan, fibromodulin) proteoglycans of the intervertebral discJOURNAL OF ANATOMY, Issue 1 2001JAMES MELROSE This study provides a comparative analysis of the temporal and spatial distribution of 5 intervertebral disc (IVD) proteoglycans (PGs) in sheep. The main PGs in the 2 and 10 y old sheep groups were polydisperse chondroitin sulphate and keratan sulphate substituted species. Their proportions did not differ markedly either with spinal level or disc zone. In contrast, the fetal discs contained 2 slow migrating (by composite agarose polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, CAPAGE), relatively monodisperse chondroitin sulphate-rich aggrecan species which were also identified by monoclonal antibody 7-D-4 to an atypical chondroitin sulphate isomer presentation previously found in chick limb bud, and shark cartilage. The main small PG detectable in the fetal discs was biglycan, whereas decorin predominated in the 2 and 10 y old IVD samples; its levels were highest in the outer annulus fibrosus (AF). Versican was most abundant in the AF of the fetal sheep group; it was significantly less abundant in the 2 and 10 y old groups. Furthermore, versican was immunolocalised between adjacent layers of annular lamellae suggesting that it may have some role in the provision of the viscoelastic properties to this tissue. Versican was also diffusely distributed throughout the nucleus pulposus of fetal IVDs, and its levels were significantly lower in adult IVD specimens. This is the first study to identify versican in ovine IVD tissue sections and confirmed an earlier study which demonstrated that ovine IVD cells synthesised versican in culture (Melrose et al. 2000). The variable distribution of the PGs identified in this study provides further evidence of differences in phenotypic expression of IVD cell populations during growth and development and further demonstrates the complexity of the PGs in this heterogeneous but intricately organised connective tissue. [source] Raman spectroscopic study of the vivianite arsenate mineralsJOURNAL OF RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY, Issue 10 2003Ray L. Frost Abstract The molecular structures of the vivianite-type arsenate minerals were studied using a combination of Raman and infrared spectroscopy. The Raman spectra of the hydroxyl-stretching regions are complex with overlapping bands at 3419, 3209, 3185 and 3010 cm,1. This complexity is reflected in the water HOH bending modes with strong infrared bands in the 1660,1685 cm,1 region indicating strong hydrogen bonding to arsenate anions in adjacent layers. The Raman arsenate AsO stretching region shows strong similarity between the vivianite arsenate minerals. In the infrared spectra complexity exists with multiple antisymmetric stretching vibrations observed, indicating a reduction of symmetry. Strong infrared bands around 700 and 560 cm,1 are attributed to librational modes of water. Vibrational spectra enable the structure of the minerals to be determined and, whilst similarities exist in the spectral patterns, sufficient differences exist to determine the identification of the minerals. In particular, Raman spectroscopy assists in the identification of the complex isomorphous substitution in these vivianite arsenate minerals. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] Influence of Internal Donors on the Performance and Structure of MgCl2 Supported Titanium Catalysts for Propylene PolymerizationMACROMOLECULAR CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS, Issue 1 2009Gurmeet Singh Abstract An insight on the influence of ethyl benzoate (EB) and diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) as internal donors, differing in coordination nature on the structural aspects of MgCl2 matrix in high-performance MgCl2 -supported titanium catalysts was developed using FTIR spectroscopy and WAXD studies. The analysis of the >CO stretching IR band of internal donors showed their coordination to (104) and (110) lateral cuts of MgCl2 matrix. Transformation of magnesium ethoxide {Mg(OEt)2} to MgCl2 during catalyst preparation resulted in different MgCl2 phases, namely the , -form, , -form, and the disordered , -form, which were analyzed by WAXD studies. The results from WAXD showed the relative preference of , -form over , -form in case of DIBP-based catalysts, which might be due to interlayer bridging between adjacent layers due to the bidendate nature of DIBP. This can be one of the reasons for the high productivity of dialkyl-phthalate-based catalysts in comparison to ethyl-benzoate-based catalyst systems. [source] Comparative observations on the cyst shells of seven Artemia strains from ChinaMICROSCOPY RESEARCH AND TECHNIQUE, Issue 8 2007Sufeng Wang Abstract The quiescent Artemia cysts of seven geographical origins in China were examined with scanning and transmission electron microscopes. SEM observations on cysts of these Artemia strains showed that the surface topography of cyst shells could be categorized into 6 types: complete smooth surface; smooth surface with sparsely distributed glabrate humps; surface with densely arranged wart-like humps that are composed of packed minute tubercles; rugged surface, with densely arranged tubercles not piling up to form larger humps; shallow-pocked surface; and surface with numerous and densely spaced pore-like fossulae. Some of the patterns were strain specific [e.g., cysts from Ga Hai (GH) are characterized by having a surface with wart-like ornaments that are composed of packed minute tubercles, rugged surface is only found in Chengkou (CK) cysts], and apparent intrastrain variation of cyst surface topography was found in Xizang (XZ), Jingyu Hu, and Xie Chi (SIN) strains. TEM studies on the ultrastructure of cyst shells revealed an apparent divergence in the structure of outer cuticular membrane (OCM) among Artemia strains. In CK, Aqqikkol Hu (AQK), SIN, and GH strains, it is a normal, asymmetrical, and multi-layered structure similar to those described in previous works. In XZ, JYH, and Lagkor Co (LGC) strains, however, the OCM is not obviously multi-layered and the borderlines between OCM and adjacent layers seem indistinct. The present results suggest that the diversity of the surface topography of Artemia cysts may be an available tool for identifying certain Artemia strains as well as for tracking the origins of some Artemia cysts, and the hypoplastic OCM may be a characteristic of the species A. tibetiana.

[source] Ku-band substrate integrated waveguide transitions between layersMICROWAVE AND OPTICAL TECHNOLOGY LETTERS, Issue 11 2009Kaijun Song Abstract Two types of the substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) transitions between layers are presented in this letter. The SIW circuits have been used to achieve the transition from one layer to other layer. These two types of SIW transitions between layers operating in Ku-band have been designed and fabricated. The measured 10-dB return loss bandwidth of the transition between adjacent layers is about 7 GHz, and the measured 1-dB insertion loss bandwidth is about 5 GHz; the measured 13-dB return loss bandwidth of the unadjacent-layers transition is demonstrated to be about 3.7 GHz, and the measured insertion losses are less than 2 dB from 11.2 GHz to 15 GHz. The simulated and measured results indicate that these two SIW transitions take the advantages of broadband, low insertion loss, and low profile. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

DOI 10.1002/mop.24685 [source] Temporal and spatial variability in soil food web structureOIKOS, Issue 11 2007Matty P. Berg Heterogeneity is a prominent feature of most ecosystems. As a result of environmental heterogeneity the distribution of many soil organisms shows a temporal as well as horizontal and vertical spatial patterning. In spite of this, food webs are usually portrayed as static networks with highly aggregated trophic groups over broader scales of time and space. The variability in food web structure and its consequences have seldom been examined. Using data from a Scots pine forest soil in the Netherlands, we explored (1) the temporal and spatial variability of a detrital food web and its components, (2) the effect of taxonomic resolution on the perception of variability over time and across space, and (3) the importance of organic matter quality as an explanatory factor for variability in food web composition. Compositional variability, expressed using the Bray-Curtis similarity index, was measured over 2.5 years using a stratified litterbag design with three organic horizons per litterbag set. Variability in community composition and organic matter degradation increased over time in the litter horizon only. Seasonal variation in community composition was larger than variation between samples from the same season in different years. Horizontal spatial variability in community composition and organic matter degradation was relatively low, with no increase in variability with increasing distance between samples. Vertically, communities and organic matter degradation was more different between the non-adjacent litter and humus horizons than between adjacent layers. These findings imply that soil food webs, at least in temperate forest plantations, are more variable than is currently appreciated in experiments and model studies, and that organic matter turnover might be an important factor explaining variability in community composition. Species composition was more variable than functional group composition, which implies that aggregated food webs will seem less sensitive to local temporal and spatial changes than they in fact are. [source] Interfacial instabilities in coextrusion flows of low-density polyethylenes: Experimental studiesPOLYMER ENGINEERING & SCIENCE, Issue 5 2000Costas Tzoganakis A fundamental investigation into the interfacial instability phenomenon was performed. Coextrusion experiments were carried out using well-characterized low-density (LDPE) resins in an effort to gain a better understanding of interfacial instability phenomena. The resins used were chosen carefully and included materials of high and low viscosity as well as broad and narrow molecular weight distributions (MWD). The experiments involved the coextrusion of either the same material in both layers or various combinations of the four materials and the focus of the work was to elucidate the effects of flow rates, molecular weight (MW) and MWD on interfacial instability. The effect of the geometry at the point where the materials merged was also investigated. It was concluded that there are essentially two types of interfacial instabilities and that the MW had the strongest effect on the occurrence of the "zig-zag" instability due to high interfacial stress while the breadth of the MWD had a strong effect on the appearance of the "wave" instability. Broad MWD materials had a greater tendency to exhibit interfacial instability, which is more due to layer ratio than processing conditions or die geometries. The results suggest that the origin of the "wave" type of interfacial instability is due to an extreme extensional deformation of the minor layer at the merge point and that the viscoelastic properties of adjacent layers determine the instability development. [source] Sensitivity of one-dimensional radiative biases to vertical cloud-structure assumptions: Validation with aircraft dataTHE QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY, Issue 608 2005F. Di Giuseppe Abstract Three representations of an observed stratocumulus system are generated by combining aircraft observations with a simple statistical model. The realizations differ in their representation of the vertical cloud structure while the horizontal variability is identical. In the control case (A) both the adiabatic liquid-water profile and the effect of wind-shear induced vertical decorrelation are represented. The second simulation (B) removes the wind-shear effect by assuming maximum overlap between adjacent layers. The third case (C) instead removes vertical variability by averaging the in-cloud liquid water for each column. For each of these scenes Monte Carlo simulated solar fluxes are compared against observed flux measurements. Cases A and B agree with observed (horizontal) flux variations within statistical uncertainty, while case C, which neglects vertical variability, is not able to reproduce the observed fluxes. The comparison between the radiative fields produced by these three representations of the stratocumulus system, calculated using a three-dimensional radiative-transfer solution, an independent pixel approximation (IPA) and a plane-parallel (PP) approach, shows substantial differences. Not accounting for the adiabatic liquid-water profile generates a systematic increase in the optical depth, , when the effective radius is computed from mean liquid-water content and droplet-number concentration, that can be responsible for a 5% increase in the reflection for shallow boundary-layer cloud systems (,,1). A much stronger effect in the radiative properties is produced by varying the cloud-overlap rule applied. While changing from maximum to random overlap does not introduce any variation in the optical depth of the cloud scene, it does introduce an increase in the reflection that is proportional to the relative change in total cloud fraction. The magnitude of these latter biases is comparable to that produced by unresolved horizontal variability. Moreover, it is shown that, when the vertical cloud structure is properly resolved, the effect of horizontal fluctuations is also reduced.

Both forms are orthorhombic and regarded as conformational polymorphs due to the differences in the orientation of the 3-fluorobenzyloxy and propanamide groups. Both structures pack with layers in the ac plane. In polymorph (I), the layers have discrete wide and narrow regions which are complementary when located next to adjacent layers. In polymorph (II), the layer has long flanges protruding from each side, which interdigitate when packed with the adjacent layers.

The structures of complexes (I) and (II) are mainly directed by the steric properties of the ligands. In (I), the L1 ligand is bisected by a twofold rotation axis running through the amine N atom and opposite C atoms of the pyrimidine ring. The thiocyanate anion adopts the rare ,3 -,3S coordination mode to link three tetrahedrally coordinated AgI ions into a two-dimensional honeycomb-like 63 net. The L1 ligands further extend the two-dimensional sheet to form a three-dimensional framework by bridging AgI ions in adjacent layers. In (II), with three formula units in the asymmetric unit, the L2 ligand bonds to a single AgI ion in a monodentate fashion, while the thiocyanate anions adopt a ,3 -,1N,,2S coordination mode to link the AgL2 subunits to form two-dimensional sheets. These layers are linked by N,H...N hydrogen bonds between the noncoordinated amino H atoms and both thiocyanate and pyrimidine N atoms.
