This paper is focused on the effects of some controllable operating parameters on the robustness of the coke/coal entrained flow cogasification process considering some uncertainties in it. In the present work, the operating variables were categorized into controllable parameters (CPs) (oxygen and steam concentrations, OC and SC) and hard-to-control parameters (temperature and coal/coke blending ratio) according to the actual modes during the cogasification process. Then, some robust response surface methodology (RSM) models, that is, mean RSM model and variance RSM model, for some important performance indexes [H2, CO, and (H2 + CO) production] with the CPs as independent variables, were found using combined array methodology. Then, the effects of OC and SC not only on the mean but also on the variance of each performance index were systematically investigated. Finally, the cogasification process was robustly optimized using the mean square criterion and desirability function. The result shows that the average production of H2 and that of (H2+ CO) increases with increasing OC but decreases with increasing SC. Additionally, higher OC suppresses the fluctuations in H2 and (H2 + CO) production, while higher SC enlarges the fluctuations in H2 production. Assuming that the variance of temperature in a gasifier is 20 °C and the variance of the coal/coke blending ratio is 5%, the multiobjective robust optimization solutions of OC and SC are 1.56 and 50%, respectively, and a satisfactory performance for high syngas production with low fluctuation can be gained.A method was developed to synthesize a nanosheet at the interface of an aqueous layer of PdII ions and an aqueous layer of hydrophilic polymer bearing a metal coordination unit (HPMC). The nanosheet was synthesized through generation of an interface by the addition of an aqueous solution of PdII ions with a low specific gravity (1.03 g/cm3) to a dispersed aqueous solution of HPMC with a high specific gravity (1.50 g/cm3), resulting in rapid cross-linking at the interface. [https://www.selleckchem.com/products/cdk2-inhibitor-73.html CDK2-IN-4 supplier] An electron probe microanalysis mapping image showed that the PdII ions were uniformly dispersed in the nanosheet. The nanosheet showed a high catalyst activity for the Mizoroki-Heck cross-coupling reaction with a turnover number (TON) and turnover frequency (TOF) greater than 3,333,333 and 138,889 h-1, respectively. These are the greatest TON and TOF values reported for heterogeneous polymeric catalysts for the Mizoroki-Heck reaction.An integrated batch and continuous flow process has been developed for the gram-scale synthesis of goniothalamin. The synthetic route hinges upon a telescoped continuous flow Grignard addition followed by an acylation reaction capable of delivering a racemic goniothalamin precursor (16) (20.9 g prepared over 3 h), with a productivity of 7 g·h-1. An asymmetric Brown allylation protocol was also evaluated under continuous flow conditions. This approach employing (-)-Ipc2B(allyl) provided an (S)-goniothalamin intermediate in 98% yield and 91.5% enantiomeric excess (ee) with a productivity of 1.8 g·h-1. For the final step, a ring-closing metathesis reaction was explored under several conditions in both batch and flow regimes. In a batch operation, the Grubbs second-generation was shown to be effective and highly selective for the desired ring closure product over those arising from other modes of reactivity, and the reaction was complete in 1.5 h. In a flow operation, reactivity and selectivity were attenuated relative to the batch mode; however, after further optimization, the residence time could be reduced to 16 min with good selectivity and good yield of the target product. A tube-in-tube reactor was investigated for in-situ ethylene removal to favor ring-closing over cross-metathesis, in this context. These results provide further evidence of the utility of flow chemistry for organometallic processing and reaction telescoping. Using the developed integrated batch and flow methods, a total of 7.75 g of goniothalamin (1) was synthesized.Left untreated nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) can progress to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. The observed failure of clinical trials in NASH may suggest that current model systems do not fully recapitulate human disease, and/or hallmark pathological features of NASH may not be driven by the same pathway in every animal model let alone in each patient. Identification of a model-agnostic disease-associated node can spur the development of effective drugs for the treatment of liver disease. Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase1 (GPAT1) plays a pivotal role in lipid accumulation by shunting fats away from oxidation. In the present study, hepatic GPAT1 expression was evaluated in three etiologically different models of NAFLD. Compared to the sham cohort, hepatic GPAT1 mRNA levels were elevated by ∼5-fold in steatosis and NASH with fibrosis with immunofluorescent staining revealing increased GPAT1 in the fatty liver. A significant and direct correlation (r = 0.88) was observed between hepatic GPAT1 mRNA expression and severity of the liver disease. Picrosirius red staining revealed a logarithmic relation between hepatic GPAT1 mRNA expression and scar. These data suggest that hepatic GPAT1 is an early disease-associated model-agnostic node in NAFLD and form the basis for the development of a potentially successful therapeutic against NASH.Increasing the length of silver nanowires (AgNWs) has been demonstrated as an effective measure to enhance their optoelectronic properties by reducing light attenuation. Herein, we report a unique modified polyol synthesis of AgNWs with average length as long as ∼270 μm in a high yield of ∼90%. The synthesis of ultralong AgNWs involves the employment of ascorbic acid in the polyol approach. The strong reducing action of ascorbic acid allows the reduction of silver precursors to occur at a relatively low temperature, wherein the lateral growth of AgNWs is restrained because of efficient surface passivation via the dual function of poly-vinylpyrrolidone and ascorbic acid. The photoelectric properties of the as-synthesized ∼270 μm AgNW film show a noteworthy transmittance of 92.61% with a low haze of 1.35% at a sheet resistance of ∼322 Ω sq-1. In addition, the AgNW film shows distinguished mechanical property and relatively high electrical stability. The breakthrough in the length confinement of AgNWs is a highly expected step to prepare AgNW films with excellent performance.
