A novel kind of AgNPs catalyst was synthesized by in-situ reduction method using poly(2-acrylamido-2-methyl propyl sulfonic acid-co-2-hydroxyethyl methclate) [short as P(AMPS-co-HEMA)] hydrogel as matrices and AgNO3as a metal precursor. The structure of the composite hydrogel was characterized by Scan Electrical Microscope (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The results showed that AgNPs were binded with end group and most of the particles were isolated and uniformly distributed on the P(AMPS-co-HEMA). The catalytic properties in the reduction reaction of 4-nitrophenol(shorted as 4-NP) to 4-aminophenol(shorted as 4-AP) were studied in detail, and the result showed that conversion rate and conversion efficiency attained 97.56% and 0.9671 mmol/g·min when the amount of AgNPs was 9mg, [NaBH4] was 2.0×10−1mol/L, [4-NP] was 2.0×10−2mol/L and the total volume of solution was 50 mL, respectively.

The gas-phase dehydrocyclization of diphenylamine (DPA) to carbazole over alumina-supported 0.4 wt.% Pt catalysts in a fix-bed reactor has been studied. The reaction was carried out at a temperature of 550 °C in the presence of hydrogen. All catalysts became well dispersed Pt after in situ reduction. Pt catalysts prepared in the presence of a competitive adsorbate (citric acid) were reasonably active during first hours on stream (DPA conversion higher than 90%). However, later, their activity decreased rapidly, except the catalyst prepared in the presence of a higher concentration of the competitive agent. The same trend was observed for the Pt catalyst prepared by wet impregnation. The activity of the catalysts prepared by a microemulsion technique was very high and stable during testing, the conversion of DPA being higher than 93%. However, the selectivities of catalysts prepared in the presence of citric acid gradually decreased with time on stream (TOS). The initial selectivityof such prepared catalysts for carbazole was about 60%. The same trend was observed for catalysts prepared by microemulsion technique. The highest selectivities, 73%, were obtained over the catalysts prepared by wet impregnation; it dropped after 6 days of testing to about 62%.

A facile method for the quick discovery and quantification of isonitrile compounds from microbial cultures was established based on the isonitrile-tetrazine click reaction. A in situ reduction further enabled bioorthogonal ligation of primary and secondary isonitriles for the first time.

An experimental methodology was developed for estimating a very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) life of the aluminum alloy AMG-6 subjected to preliminary deformation. The analysis of fatigue damage staging is based on the measurement of elastic modulus decrement according to “in situ” data of nonlinear dynamics of free-end specimen vibrations at the VHCF test. The correlation of fatigue damage staging and fracture surface morphology was studied to establish the scaling properties and kinetic equations for damage localization, “fish-eye” nucleation, and transition to the Paris crack kinetics. These equations, based on empirical parameters related to the structure of the material, allows us to estimate the number of cycles for the nucleation and advance of fatigue crack.

A burst image sensor named Hanabi, meaning fireworks in Japanese, includes a branching CCD and multiple CMOS readout circuits. The sensor is backside-illuminated with a light/charge guide pipe to minimize the temporal resolution by suppressing the horizontal motion of signal carriers. On the front side, the pixel has a guide gate at the center, branching to six first-branching gates, each bifurcating to second-branching gates, and finally connected to 12 (=6×2) floating diffusions. The signals are either read out after an image capture operation to replay 12 to 48 consecutive images, or continuously transferred to a memory chip stacked on the front side of the sensor chip and converted to digital signals. A CCD burst image sensor enables a noiseless signal transfer from a photodiode to the in-situ storage even at very high frame rates. However, the pixel count conflicts with the frame count due to the large pixel size for the relatively large in-pixel CCD memory elements. A CMOS burst image sensor can use small trench-type capacitors for memory elements, instead of CCD channels. However, the transfer noise from a floating diffusion to the memory element increases in proportion to the square root of the frame rate. The Hanabi chip overcomes the compromise between these pros and cons.

Many of the large number of underground works constructed or under construction in recent years are in unfavorable terrains facing unusual situations and construction conditions. This is the case of the subject under study in this paper: a tunnel excavated in evaporitic rocks that experienced significant karstification problems very quickly over time. As a result of this situation, the causes that may underlie this rapid karstification are investigated and a novel methodology is presented in civil engineering where the use of saturation indices for the different mineral specimens present has been crucial. The drainage of the rock massif of El Regajal (Madrid-Toledo, Spain, in the Madrid-Valencia high-speed train line) was studied and permitted the in-situ study of the hydrogeochemical evolution of water flow in the Miocene evaporitic materials of the Tajo Basin as a full-scale testing laboratory, that are conforms as a whole, a single aquifer. The work provides a novel methodology based on the calculation of activities through the hydrogeochemical study of water samples in different piezometers, estimating the saturation index of different saline materials and the dissolution capacity of the brine, which is surprisingly very high despite the high electrical conductivity. The circulating brine appears unsaturated with respect to thenardite, mirabilite, epsomite, glauberite, and halite. The alteration of the underground flow and the consequent renewal of the water of the aquifer by the infiltration water of rain and irrigation is the cause of the hydrogeochemical imbalance and the modification of the characteristics of the massif. These modifications include very important loss of material by dissolution, altering the resistance of the terrain and the increase of the porosity. Simultaneously, different expansive and recrystallization processes that decrease the porosity of the massif were identified in the present work. The hydrogeochemical study allows the evolution of these phenomena to be followed over time, and this, in turn, may facilitate the implementation of preventive works in civil engineering.
