In acid-aminopyrimidine continuum: experimental and computational studies of furan tetracarboxylate-2-aminopyrimidinium salt.

Salts and cocrystals are the two important solid forms when a carboxylic acid crystallizes with an aminopyrimidine base such that the extent of proton transfer distinguishes between them. The Δp value (p (base) - p (acid)) predicts whether the proton transfer will occur or not. However, the Δp range, 0 < Δp < 3, is elusive where the formation of cocrystal or salt cannot be predicted.

Controlling unequal surface energy results caused by test liquids: the case of UV/O3 Treated PET.

Ultraviolet/ozone (UV/O) treatment has been reported to be an effective method to modify properties such as wettability, adhesion or adsorption of plastic surfaces.

Optimization of engine parameters using NSGA II for the comprehensive reduction of emissions from VCR engine fuelled with ROME biodiesel.

Diesel engines are most widely used as power plant for many applications, like automotive, agricultural purposes, portable machines and remote location power generation, because of their higher torque, power output, energy content per unit mass and cost of fuel. Because of the higher compression ratios, the diesel engines are able to produce greater cylinder pressures resulting in higher temperatures and thermal efficiency. On other hand, the diesel engines produce CO, NO, Soot and sulphur emissions which are harmful and these pollute the environment leading to acid rain, global warming and variety of human diseases.
