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

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.

Abstract We study a recently proposed compound two degrees of freedom planar leg mechanism consisting of a four-bar linkage and a pantograph. In this mechanism, one degree of freedom is used for normal walking to provide an ovoid path which emulates that of humans while the other is used only when necessary to walk over obstacles. Potential advantages of such a compound mechanism are fast locomotion, minimal energy loss, simplicity in controller design, and slenderness of the leg. To exploit these to the fullest, a multiobjective optimization-based design problem formulation is proposed with the following four design objectives: (i) minimum leg height, (ii) minimum of the maximum joint forces, (iii) minimum leg mass, and (iv) minimum energy loss for a walking cycle. In addition, this problem formulation takes into account a combination of mechanism requirements and structural requirements. Several tradeoff solutions are obtained using the Consol-Optcad interactive optimization-based design package.


Chapter 9 is devoted to simulation research showing the influence of changes of the power train’s parameters and control strategy on the vehicle’s energy consumption, depending on different driving conditions. The control strategy role is to manage how much energy, frankly speaking, how much of the torque-speed relations referring to the power alteration, are flowing to or from each component. In this way, the components of the hybrid power train have to be integrated with a control strategy, and of course, with its energetic parameters to achieve the optimal design for a given set of constraints. The hybrid power train is very complex and non-linear to its every component. One effective method of system optimization is numerical computation, the simulation, as in the case of the multivalent suboptimal procedure regarding the number of electrical mechanical drive’s elements, whose simultaneous operation is connected with the proper energy flow control. The minimization of a power train’s internal losses is the target. The quality factor is minimal energy, as well as minimal fuel and electricity consumption. The fuel consumption by the hybrid power train has to be considered in relation to the conventional propelled vehicle. First of all, the commonly chosen statistic driving cycles should be taken into consideration. Unfortunately, this is not enough. The additional tests as for the vehicle’s climbing, acceleration, and power train behavior, referring to real driving situations, are strongly recommended during the drive design process.
