High-temperature fuel cell membranes based on mechanically stable para-ordered polybenzimidazole prepared by direct casting

Poly[2,2′-(p-phenylene)-5,5′-bibenzimidazole] (pPBI) is synthesized by mixing 3,3′-diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride and terephthalic acid in polyphosphoric acid (PPA) at 240 °C for 12 h. pPBI can be cast in membrane form directly from a polymerization solution (direct casting) or from a methanesulfonic acid solution (MSA casting). Membranes obtained by direct casting are almost amorphous and have much higher acid doping levels and larger water uptake values than those prepared by MSA casting. As a result, the pPBI membrane from direct casting has a high proton conductivity of 0.15 S cm⁻¹ (at 180 °C and 1% relative humidity) at an acid doping level of 8.78 mol H₃PO₄ per mole of polymer repeat unit. Moreover, this membrane has good mechanical stability (tensile strength of 57 MPa at 22 °C and 24% relative humidity) even at this high doping level.

The antioxidant properties of the cherimoya (Annona cherimola) fruit

Annona cherimola is an exotic fruit from the genus Annona, native to the Andean highlands in western South America. The cherimoya skin, flesh and juice were isolated and analyzed for antioxidant content using the oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assay. The juice showed the highest antioxidant activity, while the flesh exhibited the lowest. The cherimoya skin, flesh and juice extracts were also incubated with Raji (Burkitt's Lymphoma) and HT-29 (colon cancer) cell lines, and the antioxidant uptake of cells was measured. Both cell lines, when subjected to cherimoya juice, showed the highest antioxidant uptake. The cells were then exposed to AAPH, a radical initiator, to simulate the conditions of cells under oxidative stress, and then subjected to cherimoya skin, flesh and juice extracts. Both cell lines absorbed more antioxidants after being pre-exposed to AAPH, indicating that cells under stress have the ability to import antioxidants.

Time-spreading wavelength-hopping optical CDMA system using EWO and TCM

In this paper, time-spreading wavelength-hopping optical CDMA system using trellis coded modulation scheme is investigated. The carrier hopping prime code and its shifted version are employed as signature sequences. Since the carrier hopping prime code is a symmetric code, the out of phase autocorrelation is zero. Applying the orthogonality of the signature sequences, the ternary transmission mechanism can be achieved. The proposed coding scheme is simple in both transmitter and receiver. As the multiple access interference and beat noise are the major deterioration of system performance, using coding scheme is an effective way to reduce the error floor. The numerical results reveal that the proposed coding scheme can significantly improve the system performance.

Persistent organochlorine compounds in fetal and maternal tissues: evaluation of their potential influence on several indicators of fetal growth and health

Some organochlorine compounds, such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), have a tendency to bioaccumulate in humans and predators at the top of the food chain. We have recently confirmed the transplacental transfer of these compounds and the present study has been designed on the same material with the aim of investigating their potential health effects on newborns from 70 pregnant women, resident in a Northern Italy industrial town. Organochlorine compounds [namely, p,p′-dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (p,p′-DDT), p,p′-dichlorodiphenyldichloroethene (p,p′-DDE), hexachlorobenzene (HCB), and PCBs] have been analyzed both in cord and maternal serum, placenta, and maternal subcutaneous adipose tissue by GC-MSD. p,p′-DDT levels in the adipose tissue resulted significantly (p < 0.05) related to birth length. Mothers of neonates born by preterm programmed caesarean delivery showed significantly (p < 0.005 for both) higher serum p,p′-DDE serum concentrations and p,p′-DDT levels in the adipose tissue, as compared to mothers delivering at term.     

Donor–acceptor copolymers based on benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b′]dithiophene and pyrene-fused phenazine for high-performance polymer solar cells

Two novel donor–acceptor (D–A)-type conjugated polymers of PTTPPz-BDT and PTTPPz-BDTT were successfully synthesized by Stille coupling polymerization, in which 7,8-dialkoxy benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b′]dithiophene (BDT) and 7,8-bithienyl benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b′]dithiophene (BDTT) were used as donor units, thiophene and pyrene-fused phenazine (PPz) were employed as π-bridges and acceptor units, respectively. High carrier mobilities, broad absorption spectra, narrow optical band gaps, and low HOMO energy levels were observed for both polymers. Furthermore, high-efficiency photovoltaic performance with power conversion efficiency (PCE) over 4.25% was exhibited in their polymer solar cells (PSCs) using [6,6]-phenyl-C₇₁-butyric-acid-methyl-ester (PC₇₁BM) as acceptor. The maximum PCE of 4.86% with short-circuit current density of 11.10 mA cm⁻² and fill factor of 62.5% was obtained in the PTTPPz-BDTT based cell. These results indicate that incorporating large planar PPz moiety into D–A-type copolymer is an efficient approach to improve photovoltaic performance for PSCs.

Optimal strong primes

We clarify the notion of a strong prime by supplying a precise definition and a characterization for an optimal strong prime. We present a conjecture regarding the distribution and density of optimal strong primes, allowing one to predict in advance the time needed to compute one optimal strong prime of a given bit length. Based on these results, we develop an algorithm to compute optimal strong primes. Some experimental results are also included.
