N-heterocyclic compounds are of interest for chitosan alkylation and new derivatives can be obtained by modification of his structure resulting thus new structures of biomedical interest Chitosan samples from two sources were analysed, in which the dissociation is favoured in the aqueous medium by the presence of a bipyridine salt, N,N'-bis(phenacyl)-4,4'-bipyridinium dibromide. The synthesis of chitosan’ derivate was conducted in aqueous medium at 60 °C, by magnetic stirring for 24 hours. The dissociation is better and reduced the pH, to values lower than pH 6, which suggests the achievement of favourable structural arrangements between chitosan and dibromide bipyridinium. The FTIR spectra parameters indicate the presence of characteristic bands of the bipyridinium salt in the chitosan derivates structures, with structural differences in their composition. \u0000","PeriodicalId":22358,"journal":{"name":"The Annals of “Dunarea de Jos” University of Galati.

Reducing coke consumption is necessary because it is an increasingly expensive material that increases the production cost of pig iron. Internationally, for the partial replacement of coke, auxiliary fuels were generally used in the form of gas or in liquid form, and the most used turned out to be methane. This process is limited by the fact that the temperature in the furnace is difficult to ensure.The studies carried out have demonstrated that, under the given conditions, it is possible to directly introduce electricity into the crucible, the charge of the crucible presenting properties of electrical resistance that allow the application of additional electrical heating. \u0000","PeriodicalId":22358,"journal":{"name":"The Annals of “Dunarea de Jos” University of Galati.

To increase the buckling load in the case of these columns, it is proposed to increase the moment of inertia of the columns on the base region. To highlight how the critical loss of stability load changes, a theoretical model is made for the column with constant section and another for the column with variable section in steps. Finally, the results obtained for the critical load will be compared and it will be highlighted what is the increase in buckling load for the pole with variable section in relation to the pole with constant section. \u0000","PeriodicalId":22358,"journal":{"name":"The Annals of “Dunarea de Jos” University of Galati.

Nowadays, a wide range of physico-chemical methods are used for the synthesis of nanoparticles. Green synthesis is found to be superior over physical and hemical method as it is economically feasible, environmentally friendly, scaled up for massscale production without any complexity. Several biological approaches, including the utilization of plant extracts, enzymes, bacteria, fungi, and algae, are being studied in order to enable a more environmentally sound synthesis of nanoparticles.

In this context, the advanced biodegradability and excellent lubricity performance of rice oil leads to its being considered as a real potential for the lubricants industry. However, as with other vegetable oils, the stability of rice bran oil is strongly influenced by the oxidation process. Therefore, the aim of this work was the oxidation stability monitorization of rice bran oil by spectrophotometric techniques. For this purpose, oxidation tests of rice bran oil at elevated temperatures were performed.In this paper, transmittance spectra were determined, and the trichromatic components and coordinates were calculated, as well as the colour differences for rice oils subjected to a forced oxidation treatment at temperatures of 100 °C and 120 °C for 4, 8 and 10 hours. The results obtained show that, although after the first 4 hours of forced oxidation significant changes appear on the physicochemical properties of rice bran oil, an increase in the test time from 8 to 10 hours does not lead to significant changes in the analysed parameters, the conclusion being valid for both test temperatures. \u0000","PeriodicalId":22358,"journal":{"name":"The Annals of “Dunarea de Jos” University of Galati.
