Published: August 2014

AbstractThe current study addresses the development of a flexible microbial fuel cell (MFC) in a tubular configuration. Nafion tubing is employed as a one‐compartment MFC and is used as the membrane and the main body of the system. We use an ultra‐flexible carbon sleeve as electrode material for both the anode and cathode; the anode is placed inside the tubular membrane, and the cathode is wrapped on the outside of the membrane. We illustrate how, using both the membrane and the new electrodes, there is increase the power density of the system, which is shown to work successfully with human urine as the fuel. We also show how the covering of the outer surface, that is, the cathode, by means of a waterproof and breathable plaster strip, maintains the high output levels without the need for hydration.

Nonuniform Continuum Model for Solvatochromism Based on Frozen‐Density Embedding Theory
Authors: Shedge Sapana Vitthal , Wesolowski Tomasz A. 
Published: August 2014

AbstractFrozen‐density embedding theory (FDET) provides the formal framework for multilevel numerical simulations, such that a selected subsystem is described at the quantum mechanical level, whereas its environment is described by means of the electron density (frozen density; ${\rho _{\rm{B}} (\vec r)}$). The frozen density ${\rho _{\rm{B}} (\vec r)}$ is usually obtained from some lower‐level quantum mechanical methods applied to the environment, but FDET is not limited to such choices for ${\rho _{\rm{B}} (\vec r)}$. The present work concerns the application of FDET, in which ${\rho _{\rm{B}} (\vec r)}$ is the statistically averaged electron density of the solvent ${\left\langle {\rho _{\rm{B}} (\vec r)} \right\rangle }$. The specific solute–solvent interactions are represented in a statistical manner in ${\left\langle {\rho _{\rm{B}} (\vec r)} \right\rangle }$. A full self‐consistent treatment of solvated chromophore, thus involves a single geometry of the chromophore in a given state and the corresponding ${\left\langle {\rho _{\rm{B}} (\vec r)} \right\rangle }$. We show that the coupling between the two descriptors might be made in an approximate manner that is applicable for both absorption and emission. The proposed protocol leads to accurate (error in the range of 0.05 eV) descriptions of the solvatochromic shifts in both absorption and emission.

Authors: Avetissov Igor , Mozhevitina Elena , Khomyakov Andrew , Khanh Tran 
Published: August 2014

A universal approach for a development of a nonstoichiometry (NS) measurement technique for binary compounds has been proposed. The approach is based on a pi‐T‐x diagram analysis for binary chemical compounds with different mutual arrangements of stoichiometry line, congruent sublimation line and SLV area. NS detection limits for PbTe, CdS, CdSe, CdTe, ZnSe, ZnTe from 10−4 up to 5 × 10−6 mol.% with a relative accuracy <18 rel.% were found out for the different excess component.
Environmentally‐Friendly Lithium Recycling From a Spent Organic Li‐Ion Battery
Authors: Renault Stéven , Brandell Daniel , Edström Kristina 
Published: August 2014

AbstractA simple and straightforward method using non‐polluting solvents and a single thermal treatment step at moderate temperature was investigated as an environmentally‐friendly process to recycle lithium from organic electrode materials for secondary lithium batteries. This method, highly dependent on the choice of electrolyte, gives up to 99 % of sustained capacity for the recycled materials used in a second life‐cycle battery when compared with the original. The best results were obtained using a dimethyl carbonate/lithium bis(trifluoromethane sulfonyl) imide electrolyte that does not decompose in presence of water. The process implies a thermal decomposition step at a moderate temperature of the extracted organic material into lithium carbonate, which is then used as a lithiation agent for the preparation of fresh electrode material without loss of lithium.
Sensorimotor training during expression of the leg extension response (LER) in 1‐day‐old rats

Published: August 2014

ABSTRACTIn newborn rats, the leg extension response (LER) is a coordinated hyperextension of the hindlimbs that is shown in response to anogenital stimulation. Here we examined the influence of sensorimotor training on LER expression in postnatal day 1 rats. In Experiment 1, we examined if proprioceptive feedback facilitates LER expression. We did this by repeatedly stimulating the pup's anogenital region with a vibrotactile device, to experimentally evoke the LER, thus increasing LER‐relevant hindlimb proprioceptive feedback during training. In trained subjects, the LER was evoked every 4 min for 15 trials, followed by a final LER test. Results indicated that proprioceptive feedback on its own did not alter later expression of the LER. In Experiment 2, we examined the effect of both proprioceptive and cutaneous feedback on LER expression, through the use of a range of motion (ROM) restriction during training. During ROM restriction, a Plexiglas plate was placed beneath the pup at 50% of limb length. After the 15th training trial, a final LER test occurred with no ROM restriction in place. Compared to controls, pups that experienced ROM restriction exhibited a significantly shorter LER duration, and smaller hip and ankle angles during the LER test (indicating greater limb flexion). Together these findings show that concurrent proprioceptive and cutaneous feedback, but not proprioceptive feedback alone, has persistent effects on expression of this newborn action pattern. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Stability Criterion of Biped Robot on Rough Terrain
Authors: Mori Keita , Fukui Fumiyuki , Uchimura Yutaka 
Published: August 2014

SUMMARYThis paper presents a stability criterion for biped robots on rough terrain. On rough terrain, which is not perpendicular to gravity, a robot may not fall even though its center of mass is out of the area of the supported polygon defined by the conventional VHP (virtual horizontal plane) method. This is because there exists a certain force opposing the torque that causes the robot to fall down. We propose a new measure for strictly judging the limit of falling considering all the forces acting on the contact points. Numerical simulations and experimental results are also shown, which verify the proposed method.

Published: August 2014

SUMMARYItochu Techno‐Solutions Corporation (CTC) and Tohoku Electric Power Co., Inc. have developed a system which predicts the wind power output in the control area of an electric power system in order to contribute to demand and supply control of the power system. Official operation of the system has been started after experimental operation during 3 years. Currently, the forecast information is used as reference information for electric power system operation in Tohoku Electric Power Co., Inc. In this paper, we describe the outline, operational status, and forecast accuracy of the system. We verified stable operation of the system and forecast accuracy of about 8% (intraday forecast) and 10% (day‐ahead forecast) by RMSE during experimental and official operation.
Evolution of the Coordination‐Sphere Symmetry in Copper(II), Nickel(II), and Zinc(II) Complexes with N,N′‐Double‐Armed Diaza‐Crown Ethers: Experimental and Theoretical Approaches
Authors: Selmeczi Katalin , Joly Jean‐Pierre , Allali Mustapha , Yeguas Violeta , Henry Bernard , Ruiz‐Lopez Manuel 
Published: August 2014

AbstractN,N′‐Bis(triazolyl)diaza[18]crown‐6 and corresponding diaza[15]crown‐5 ethers were synthesized by means of click chemistry. The interaction of these ligands with NiII, CuII, and ZnII cations were studied by UV/Vis and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The solid‐state structure of NiII and ZnII complexes formed by the diaza[18]crown‐6 ligand were determined by means of X‐ray crystallography. The NiII complex is centrosymmetric; the geometry around the metal ion is slightly distorted octahedral whereby the equatorial sites were occupied by four N atoms, and the axial positions by two O atoms that come from the crown moiety. For the ZnII–diaza[18]crown‐6 complex, an irregular octahedral coordination was observed whereby the metal ion is asymmetrically placed in the macrocyclic cavity. The equatorial plane is occupied by two N and two O atoms of the crown moiety, and two N atoms of the triazolyl motifs on the pendant arms occupy the axial positions. The diamagnetic character of the ZnII ion allows its structural study in solution by NMR spectroscopy. A dynamic behavior was observed at room temperature, which corresponds to the displacement of the ZnII ion between the bond end and the nonbond end of the macrocycle. This movement results in an S4‐symmetrical structure in solution. Quantum chemical calculations at the DFT level have allowed us to interpret the experimental results observed in the solid state for the symmetry of the complexes in terms of covalent and noncovalent interactions, which favor the centrosymmetric and irregular octahedral coordination modes, respectively. Only the structure of the CuII complex with N,N′‐bis(triazolyl)diaza[15]crown‐5 ligand has been investigated in the solid state, for which a pentagonal bipyramidal coordination sphere was observed. This coordination geometry was confirmed in solution in MeCN by UV/Vis spectroscopy, and also for the ZnII complex by NMR spectroscopy. In the case of the NiII complex, a structural modification was suggested in solution in MeCN based on the UV/Vis spectrum. The rearrangement of heptadentate coordination to hexadentate is proposed.
Synthesis, Structures and Coordination Chemistry of Singly Bridged Phosphane‐Boranes with Coordinately Unsaturated Platinum Group Metals
Authors: Greenacre Victoria K. , Ansell Melvyn B. , Roe S. Mark , Crossley Ian R. 
Published: August 2014

AbstractA range of singly bridged phosphane‐boranes (PBs) have been investigated as potential ligands for basic transition metals. The PBs Ph2PC(Ph)=C(R)BR2 (R = Bu 1, Ph 2, Et 3), based on a rigid cis‐ethylene bridges, have been prepared, improving upon limited literature precedent. All three compounds have been comprehensively characterised for the first time, including by X‐ray diffraction studies. Significant intramolecular P→B association is apparent in each case, which serves to preclude their engagement as ligands. In contrast, the more flexible PBs R2P(CH2)2BBN (R = Fu 5, Ph 6) readily coordinate to the platinum group metals Pt, Pd and Rh. These complexes have been fully characterised, including an X‐ray diffraction study of [Rh(CO){Fu2P(CH2)2BBN}2Cl] (13).
