Pyrazoline class of compounds serve as better moieties for an array of treatments, they have antibacterial, antifungal, antiinflammatory, antipyretic, diuretic, cardiovascular activities. Apart from these they also have anticancer activities. So, pertaining to its importance, many attempts are made to synthesize pyrazolines. Since conventional methods of organic synthesis are energy and time consuming. There are elaborate pathways for green and eco-friendly synthesis of pyrazoline derivatives including microwave irradiation, ultrasonic irradiation, grinding and use of ionic liquids which assures the synthesis of the same within much lesser time and by use of minimal energy

AbstractThe French concept developed to dispose high-level radioactive waste in geological repository relies on glassy waste forms, isolated from the claystone host rock by steel containers. Understanding interactions between glass and surrounding materials is key for assessing the performance of a such system. Here, isotopically tagged SON68 glass, steel and claystone were studied through an integrated mockup conducted at 50 °C for 2.5 years. Post-mortem analyses were performed from nanometric to millimetric scales using TEM, STXM, ToF-SIMS and SEM techniques. The glass alteration layer consisted of a crystallized Fe-rich smectite mineral, close to nontronite, supporting a dissolution/reprecipitation controlling mechanism for glass alteration. The mean glass dissolution rate ranged between 1.6 × 10−2 g m−2 d−1 to 3.0 × 10−2 g m−2 d−1, a value only 3–5 times lower than the initial dissolution rate. Thermodynamic calculations highlighted a competition between nontronite and protective gel, explaining why in the present conditions the formation of a protective layer is prevented.

We are interested in the energetic cost of a martensitic inclusion of volume V in austenite for the cubic-to-tetragonal phase transformation. In contrast with the work of Knüpfer, Kohn and Otto (Commun. Pure Appl. Math.66 (2013), 867–904), we consider a domain with a corner and obtain a better scaling law for the minimal energy (Emin ∼ min(V2/3, V7/9)). Our predictions are in good agreement with physical experiments where nucleation of martensite is usually observed near the corners of the specimen.

Physical properties of graphene nanotubes may strongly depend on external fields. In a recent paper V. Jakubský, S. Kuru, J. Negro, J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 47, 115307 (2014), the authors have studied a model of carbon nanotubes under the presence of an external magnetic field, chosen for some symmetry properties. The model admits an exact solution, provided that the value of a parameter, here denoted as [Formula: see text], be equal to zero. This parameter is the eigenvalue of the component of the momentum in the direction of the nanotube axis. However, it seems that this parameter cannot be discarded for physical reasons. The choice of nontrivial values for this parameter produces an equation of motion for electrons in the nanotube (a Dirac–Weyl equation), which cannot be exactly solvable. Then, we proposed some iterative approximate methods to solve this equation and obtaining its eigenvalues. Some tests have shown that an iterative Taylor method is more efficient than some others we have used. For [Formula: see text], we have found that, excluding the minimal energy eigenvalue, the lowest energy values obtained for [Formula: see text] split into two different ones and, therefore, producing gaps in the energy spectrum.
