magnesium compound , CO2 , fixation

The 1:1 reaction between MgR2 and diphenylamine gave heteroleptic alkyl-magnesium amide monomeric compounds [RMgNPh2(THF)2] [R=Et (1) and iPr (2)]. Subsequently, addition of stronger donor solvent HMPA to compound 1 results in the disproportionation reaction to give a bisamidomagnesium crystal [Mg(NPh2)2(HMPA)2] (3). The different size secondary amine HNEt2 or HN(SiMe3)2 reacting with Grignard reagent EtMgBr produced diethylamino-bridging and bromo-bridging Hauser base [(Me3Si)2NMg(

Cubic-Convolution Interpolation , Linear-Spline Interpolation , Cubic-Spline Interpolation

In this dissertation, a new cubic-spline interpolation (CSI) for both one-dimensional and two-dimensional signals is developed to sub-sample signal, image and video compression data. This new interpolation scheme that is based on the least-squares method with a cubic-spline function can be implemented by the fast Fourier transform (FFT). The result is a simpler and faster interpolation scheme than can be obtained by other conventional means. It is shown by computer simulation that such a new CSI...

Fatigue Life Expenditure , Turbine Blade , Torque Vibration

HVDC is usually used to link two AC power systems with same or different system frequencies. Nevertheless, even the two AC power systems linked have the same rated system frequency, the actual frequencies of the two AC systems may be different from time to time due to different load conditions. As a result, asynchronous operation occurs to the HVDC system, which leads to a lot of harmonics to be induced. The frequencies of the main harmonic are within several to several tens Hz (i.e. sub-harmoni...
