In this paper we focus on the investigation of direct current (DC) conductivity in a low-temperature region with negative temperature coefficient of resistivity (NTCR). It has been proven that variable range hopping (VRH) conduction is dominated by hopping of carriers among localized states in a low-temperature range. At higher temperatures the nearest neighbour hopping (NNH) conductivity or constant range hopping charge transport takes place. The reversibility as well as small hysteresis of resistance change versus temperature indicates prospective temperature sensor application for PCBC","PeriodicalId":18239,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science and Applied Chemistry","volume":"70 1","pages":"29-33"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88506713","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

L- and Dazidohomoalanine derivatives readily undergo copper(I)- catalyzed azide-alkyne dipolar cycloaddition reaction. The expected 4-substituted-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl-homoalanines are obtained in the reactions of either N- and O-protected or protecting-group-free azidohomoalanines with various alkynes. 1,2,3-Triazole conjugate formation tolerates various functional groups. The synthetic approach that uses N- and O-protected starting materials relays on the standard chromatographic purification of intermediates that are further deprotected by hydrogenolysis. In this way, the purification of final products is not required. The synthetic approach that uses protecting-groupfree azidohomoalanine is faster from a synthetic point of view as it includes only one step. However, the purification of protectinggroup- free amino acid derivatives is laborious. Additionally, we have shown that the chiral stationary phase CROWNPAK® CR(+), which is based on chiral crown ether as a selector, is applicable for direct chromatographic determination of enantiomeric ratio of the title products.","PeriodicalId":18239,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science and Applied Chemistry","volume":"31 1","pages":"21-28"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74538300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The feed particles are accelerated by the rotating disc of the crusher and they crush on the opposite vertical wall having the predetermined specific kinetic energy. The mathematical modelling shows that the specific energy, energy per unit mass of the particles, is independent of their mass and is calculated to depend on the rotation frequency and the disc diameter. Crystalline limestone, marly limestone and serpentine samples are tested. The results obtained are used to present the energy–size relationship and to compare the crushing amenability of the rocks tested. A suggestion for further study is to derive the mathematical model of the breakage curves and to calculate the breakage energy for each size class using the model to be proposed.","PeriodicalId":18239,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science and Applied Chemistry","volume":"12 1","pages":"58-66"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73177173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research has been conducted with the aim to synthesize a binder from local clay and dolomite compatible with historical dolomitic Roman cement. The results of chemical and XRD phase analyses have approved that Devonian as well as Quaternary clay mixed with dolomite can form a binder that closely conforms with historical ones.
