Abstract

Intermolecular effects in the infrared spectra of crystalline n-paraffins, n-C₂₀H₄₂ through n-C₃₀H₆₂ are reported. Absorption bands in the spectra of the triclinic form are singlets. Extensive doubling of bands occurs for the mono clinic and orthorhombic structures in accordance with selection rules based on the factor group symmetry. In particular, the methylene rocking mode bands of the orthorhombic structure display a striking pattern of splitting. Frequency separations of the components can be expressed by a simple function of a single parameter, $kπ (m + 1)$ , where m is the number of methylene groups of the n-paraffin and k is an integer which characterizes a particular intramolecular mode. From these data several intermolecular force constants have been evaluated. In relating these force constants to specific methylene interactions, methylenes in adjacent planes were found to interact more strongly than those in the same plane. By extending Stein's theory that the splitting arises from short range repulsive forces, to include additional interactions, the force constants are explained satisfactorily. However, interactions which involve only dipole-dipole forces are found to be inadequate.

Designing thermal regulation materials: Investigating alkylamine length in polymorphic layered hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites
2023, Journal of Energy Storage
Layered hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites have gained interest in the scientific community due to their feasibility of being used as phase transition materials to store energy by their polymorphism transitions. These compounds represent excellent candidates for cooling electronic devices, given that approximately 55 % of electronic device failures or damage is attributed to internal overheating. Here, we synthesized (C₁₂H₂₅N)₂CuCl₄, (C₁₄H₂₉N)₂CuCl₄, (C₁₆H₃₃N)₂CuCl₄, (C₁₂H₂₄N)₂MnCl₄, (C₁₄H₂₉N)₂MnCl₄ and (C₁₆H₃₃N)₂MnCl₄ to evaluate their potential as thermal regulators and to investigate the dependence of their properties on the length of the alkylamine used. The compounds were synthesized by a liquid phase reaction method and the thermal cycling effect was evaluated after 0, 50, 100 and 200 cycles, between 298 K and 333 K. The crystal structure, molecular structure, and thermal properties of the compounds were characterized and compared before and after the thermal cycling. The maximum enthalpy was obtained for the (C₁₆H₃₃N)₂CuCl₄ and (C₁₆H₃₃N)₂MnCl₄ with 98.1 and 90.5 J·g⁻¹, respectively. Additionally, all the components were thermally stable up to 200 cycles, with no evidence of structural degradation or thermal properties decreases. Therefore, our results show that these layered hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites could work as effective thermal regulators. By carefully selecting the alkylamine length, it may be possible to optimize their performance further.
Synthesis optimisation of copper-based layered perovskites as thermal energy storage materials
2023, Materials Today Chemistry
Solid-solid phase change materials (ss-PCMs) are promising materials for thermal energy storage applications because they do not require shape stabilisation or encapsulation. In addition, depending on the ss-PCM used, they can reduce corrosion issues and allow faster charging and discharging. Organometallic ss-PCM, particularly layered hybrid organic-inorganic compounds, have been investigated in this work due to the scientific interest in their potential use as phase change materials to store energy via polymorphic transitions. Here we have assessed the synthesis of (C₁₂H₂₈N)₂CuCl₄, a potential material for thermal energy storage. The transition enthalpy and specific heat are the key values to maximise. Two different synthesis procedures were followed: reflux and recrystallisation, and direct synthesis. Three different solvents were also used: methanol, ethanol and isopropanol. In order to find out which processes and solvent media were most promising, the synthesis yield, crystal and molecular structure, and thermal parameters such as transition enthalpy and specific heat were evaluated. Direct synthesis processes produced the most promising material for thermal energy storage due to higher yield and better enthalpy ratio.
Cognitive load increases anthropomorphism of humanoid robot. The automatic path of anthropomorphism

All the other ps > .05. To test whether the level of cognitive effort declared by participants could explain the effect of the experimental condition on anthropomorphic attributions we conducted mediation analyzes using PROCESS plugin in SPSS (Bolin, 2014; Fritz et al., 2012; Hayes and Rockwood, 2017; Hayes and Scharkow, 2013; Preacher and Hayes, 2004; Shrout and Bolger, 2002; Snyder, 1961; Yzerbyt et al., 2018) for on humanness and warmth scores, with experimental conditions (high vs. low cognitive load) as a predictive factor (X) and the level of declared cognitive effort as mediating factor (M, bootstrap = 10000) (MacKinnon et al., 2004) (Fig. 3). Humanization.
Humanoid robots might become more and more present in the most ordinary contexts of millions of people worldwide. Humans reason about these artificial agents mainly through the attribution of human characteristics, a process called anthropomorphism. However, despite number of studies, how we develop and structure the representation of non-human agents is still an open question. In the present paper, we aim at integrating the anthropomorphism into the cognitive control theory, a construct from cognitive neuroscience that refers to information processing and cognitive resources managing that varies adaptively to the situation. In three experiments we manipulated the cognitive load of participants during the observation of an active robot to investigate how the load could impact the online structuration of participants’ mental representation of the robot. The two first experiment converged in arguing for a control process resource-demanding to switch from the social cognition to the physical cognition inhibiting anthropomorphic inferences. The third experiment investigated the influence of the “what” and “why” observation goals on the cognitive load effect arguing that an explicit focus on intentionality attribution bias the automatic process of anthropomorphism. The representation and perception of robots are further discussed in term of cognitive control theory and social cognition.
Nonmonotonic dielectric relaxation behavior of thermochromic epoxy composite
2022, Materials Letters
An unusual nonmonotonic relaxation behavior is observed in thermochromic epoxy composites. The relaxation time first decreases with temperature and then abnormally increases from 331 K to 337 K, exhibiting a saddlelike temperature dependence. The nonmonotonic relaxation behavior is proposed to originate from the phase transformation of solvent in microcapsules based on the model of confined system. It is evidenced that from 331 K to 339 K the solvent is in rotational state with increased interchain distances and chain mobility. This could decrease the free volume given for relaxation in microcapsules and consequently result in the increase of relaxation time.
Reconsideration of the structure of magnesium n-hexadecylsilicate and other “talc-like” layered magnesium organosilicates
2022, Applied Clay Science
The structure of layered magnesium organosilicate materials has been assumed to be “talc-like”: a highly condensed tetrahedral organosilicate network on each face of a magnesium (hydr)oxide sheet, with the presumed formula Mg₃Si₄R₄O₈(OH)₂ based on isomorphous substitution of talc (Mg₃Si₄O₁₀(OH)₂). However, the arrangement of the organic groups has not been clearly described. For magnesium n-hexadecylsilicate, prepared in this work, XRD and NMR indicate an orthorhombic or hexagonal polyethylene-like structure for the n-hexadecyl chains, which is incompatible with a “talc-like” arrangement of organosilicate tetrahedra. A revised structure and formula (Mg₃Si₃R₃O₆(OH)₃) are proposed that accommodate the steric and geometric requirements of the organic groups, account for previously overlooked spectroscopic features, and indicate that the conventional synthetic protocol also yields some amorphous organosilica (RSiO_1.5). The n-octadecylsilicate, n-propylsilicate, and phenylsilicate derivatives are consistent with the revised model, and previously reported magnesium organosilicate materials are also reconsidered in this context. Revisions to the synthetic protocol for improved efficiency and product uniformity, and modifications to characterization strategies, are proposed.
Computer aided diagnosis system using deep convolutional neural networks for ADHD subtypes
2021, Biomedical Signal Processing and Control
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a ubiquitous neurodevelopmental disorder affecting many children. Therefore, automated diagnosis of ADHD can be of tremendous value. Unfortunately, unlike many other applications, the use of deep learning algorithms for automatic detection of ADHD is still limited.
In this paper, we proposed a novel computer aided diagnosis system based on deep learning approach to classify the EEG signal of Healthy children (Control) from ADHD children with two subtypes of Combined ADHD (ADHD-C) and Inattentive ADHD (ADHD-I). Inspired by the classical approaches, we proposed a deep convolutional neural network that is capable of extracting both spatial and frequency band features from the raw electroencephalograph (EEG) signal and then performing the classification.
We achieved the highest classification accuracy with the combination of β₁, β₂, and γ bands. Accuracy Recall, Precision, and Kappa values were %99.46, %99.45, %99.48, and 0.99, respectively. After investigating the spatial channels, we observed that electrodes in the Posterior side had the most contribution.
To the best of our knowledge, all previous multiclass studies were based on fMRI and MRI imaging. Therefore, the presented research is novel in terms of using a deep neural network architecture and EEG signal for multiclass classification of ADHD and healthy children with high accuracy.
