Acetic anhydride and acetyl chloride were used as acetylating agents in the absence and presence of pyridine. The degree of substitution(DS) of the products and the distribution of substituents were determined by titration and {} 13C NMR techniques respectively. It was observed that acetyl chloride reacted faster than {anhydride}. Further, pyridine accelerated the reactions when anhydride was used as the acetylating agent, while it slowed down the reactions when acetyl chloride was used. An interesting distribution of DS_ C-2 DS_ C-3 for substitutes was observed in the product with acetic anhydride/pyridine system.展开更多

Combining the results from this study and previous ones, we can see that different schemes for dividing seismic statistical regions can change the seismic data in a statistical region. The uncertain data and additional uncertainty in selecting time intervals for seismic statistics will result in uncertainty of seismicity parameters estimation in a statistical region. For the homogeneous model, the larger the variation of this uncertainty is, the greater the uncertain influence on the seismic risk estimation of a site will be, which means that the division of seismic statistical regions makes a major contribution. In a seismic statistical region, the delimitation of potential sources and variant weight assignment of spatial distribution functions can raise the estimated values of ground motion parameters in the place where great earthquake might occur and its vicinity. In these places, the influence of uncertainty in potential source delimitation is very obvious, especially on the absolute magnitude of ground motion parameters (e.g., intensity), which means that the link of potential source delimitation makes a major effect. Generally speaking, the link of potential source delimitation affects mainly the sites located in the potential sources with the highest and second-high upper-limit earthquake magnitudes or in the vicinity of those with the highest upper-limit magnitude. While for the sites located in the potential sources with low upper-imit magnitudes, the uncertainty influence of statistical region division is larger than that of potential sour展开更多

One is that a wave function can describe a single particle and the other is that it can only describe an ensemble in the classical limit. In this paper the limiting procedures have been compared. We put the synthesized limit n→∞, (?)→0 but keep E(n,(?)) to be the actual measured value of energy. Under this limit condition, we can not only prove that a wave function can only describe an ensemble, but also can make clear the dynamical behavior of the particles of the ensemble. Calculations show that the reason why quantum mechanics cannot describe a particle is not because of the motion equation but because of the definition of state for the particle.展开更多

文摘In order to further reveal the interrelation among division of seismic statistical regions, delimitation of potential seismic sources and estimation of seismicity parameters, we select 21 representative sites located in different places within the range of 100°-120°E, 29°-42°N to study the influences of seismicity parameter uncertainties of statistical regions on seismic risk estimations of these sites in the inhomogeneous and homogeneous distribution models.
