Diagnosis and Inhibition Tools in Medicinal ChemistryAkay, Senol 29 May 2009 (has links)
Cell surface saccharides are involved in a variety of essential biological events. Fluorescent sensors for saccharides can be used for detection, diagnosis, analysis and monitoring of pathological processes. The boronic acid functional group is known to bind strongly and reversibly to compounds with diol groups, which are commonly found on saccharides. Sensors that have been developed for the purpose of saccharide recognition have shown great potential. However, they are very hydrophobic and this lack of essential water-solubility makes them useful in biological applications. The first section of this dissertation details the process of developing water-soluble saccharide sensors that change fluorescent properties upon binding to saccharides. The second section of the dissertation focuses on the development of DNA-minor groove binders as antiparasitical agents. Parasitical diseases comprise some of the world’s largest health problems and yet current medication and treatments for these parasitical diseases are often difficult to administer, costly to the patients, and have disruptive side effects. Worse yet, these parasites are developing drug resistance, thus creating an urgent need for new treatments. Dicationic molecules constitute a class of antimicrobial drug candidates that possess high activity against various parasites. The second section details the development of a series of di-cationic agents that were then screened in in vitro activities against parasitical species.

NON-PORTLAND CEMENT ACTIVATION OF BLAST FURNACE SLAGOberlink, Anne Elizabeth 01 January 2010 (has links)
The purpose of this project was to produce a “greener” cement from granulated ground blast furnace slag (GGBS) using non-Portland cement activation. By eventually developing “greener” cement, the ultimate goal of this research project would be to reduce the amount of Portland cement used in concrete, therefore reducing the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere during cement production.
This research studies the behavior of mineral binders that do not contain Portland cement but instead comprise GGBS activated by calcium compounds or fluidized bed combustion (FBC) bottom ash. The information described in this paper was collected from experiments including calorimetry, which is a measure of the release of heat from a particular reaction, the determination of activation energy of cement hydration, mechanical strength determination, and pH measurement and identification of crystalline phases using X-ray diffraction (XRD).
The results indicated that it is possible to produce alkali-activated binders with incorporated slag, and bottom ash, which have mechanical properties similar to ordinary Portland cement (OPC). It was determined that the binder systems can incorporate up to 40% bottom ash without any major influence on binder quality. These are positive results in the search for “greener cement”.

Etude numérique et expérimentale du stockage d'énergie par les matériaux cimentaires / Numerical and experimental study of energy storage by cementitious materialsNdiaye, Khadim 10 February 2016 (has links)
L'objectif de cette thèse est de développer un matériau cimentaire monolithe ayant une forte teneur en ettringite, capable de stocker et de déstocker de la chaleur, respectivement, par déshydratation endothermique et réhydratation exothermique. Une étude numérique et expérimentale du stockage de chaleur dans un réacteur thermochimique (prototype) contenant le matériau développé est aussi réalisée dans le cadre de cette étude. Pour atteindre ces objectifs, l'hydratation de différents liants ettringitiques a été suivie par DRX, ATG et MEB. Une simulation thermodynamique de l'hydratation a aussi été effectuée au moyen du logiciel GEMS (Gibbs Energy Minimization Sofware) afin d'optimiser la formulation du matériau. Le réseau poreux du matériau résultant a ensuite été amélioré par moussage chimique. Nous avons aussi étudié la durabilité et la stabilité du matériau ettringitique synthétisé (carbonatation, stabilité à la température, réversibilité du processus de stockage/déstockage sur plusieurs cycles). Pour prédire le comportement du système de stockage, un modèle bidimensionnel, prenant en compte les spécificités du matériau cimentaire, a été utilisé. Le bilan énergétique et massique dans le matériau poreux génère un système d'équations différentielles non-linéaires et couplées. La résolution numérique du système, effectuée en utilisant MatLab (r), est effectuée par discrétisation spatiale en utilisant la méthode des différences finies, et par intégration temporelle des variables d'état (température et pression de vapeur d'eau). La simulation du modèle, basée sur les propriétés mesurées du matériau en laboratoire, est ensuite utilisée comme outil de conception pour réaliser un premier prototype de réacteur thermochimique au laboratoire. Suite à ces essais, un prototype amélioré est ensuite élaboré et testé. Le résultat des essais de stockage et de déstockage de chaleur avec ces deux prototypes ont servi de validation du modèle numérique d'une part, et de preuve de concept du principe de stockage d'autre part. / The objective of this study is to develop an ettringite-based material with high energy storage density in low temperature conditions, allowing to charge and discharge heat by endothermic dehydration and exothermic rehydration, respectively; then to perform the numerical and experimental study of heat storage in a thermochemical reactor containing the produced material (prototype). To achieve these goals, the hydration of ettringite binders was followed by XRD, TGA and SEM. The thermodynamic simulation of the hydration was also performed using GEMS (Gibbs Energy Minimization Sofware). The porous network of the resulting material was improved by chemical foaming. Furthermore, the carbonation, thermal stability and reversibility tests were performed on the produced material. Physicochemical stability of the material over time was followed by XRD, TGA, SEM and IR. To predict the behavior of the storage system, a bidimensional model, taking account the specificities of the cementitious material, was developed. The heat and mass balance in the thermochemical reactor generates a system of non-linear and coupled differential equations. The numerical resolution was first made by spatial discretization using the finite difference method, then by temporal integration of variables (temperature and water vapor pressure) on MatLab (r). The model simulation, with material properties, was used as concept design to build the thermochemical reactor prototype in the laboratory (cylindrical adsorber). The result of heat storage tests with the prototype was used as proof of concept of the principle on the one hand, and a way to validate the numerical model.

Efeitos de aditivo tipo óleo e enxofre na reologia de asfaltos modificados com SBSFernandes, Mônica Romero Santos January 2009 (has links)
O uso de asfaltos modificados com polímeros tem crescido significativamente nas últimas décadas em função do aumento da densidade de tráfego, da carga por eixo nos veículos e da pressão dos pneus. Estes ligantes proporcionam o aumento a vida útil e a redução do custo de manutenção das rodovias. Os polímeros mais utilizados na modificação de asfalto são os copolímeros em bloco de estireno-butadienoestireno. Esta tese avaliou os efeitos de diferentes agentes compatibilizantes (óleos) e agentes de ligação no comportamento reológico de misturas asfálticas modificadas com copolímeros de estireno-butadieno-estireno, bem como a influência da sua estrutura, se linear ou radial. Para isto foram realizados análises convencionais e testes em reômetro de cisalhamento dinâmico. Os dados obtidos permitiram evidenciar a eficácia do óleo de xisto como agente compatibilizante, proporcionando excelente dispersão do polímero na matriz asfáltica e estabilidade a estocagem a altas temperaturas. Este óleo apresenta-se como uma opção tecnicamente viável para o óleo aromático atualmente em uso no mercado. Foi também verificado que o uso de enxofre como agente de ligação tem um efeito altamente positivo nas propriedades do ligante modificado, com significativa redução da tan ō, da deformação após aplicação de cargas cíclicas e elevação do módulo complexo, o que contribui para obtenção de pavimentos com maior resistência a deformação e ao trincamento por fadiga. / The use of polymer modified asphalts has grown significantly in the last decades due to the increase in traffic density, axle loading in vehicles and tyre pressure. These binders favor the increase of pavement life and the reduction of its maintenancement costs. The most used polymer for asphalt modification is styrene-butadiene-styrene blocked copolymers. This thesis evaluated the effects of different compatibilizers and crosslinkers on rheological behavior of styrene-butadiene-styrene copolymer modified asphalt binders, as well as the influence of its structure, linear or radial. Binder’s characteristics were determined by conventional analysis and tests in dinamic shear rheometer. Data obtained provided evidence of the positive effect of sulfur as crosslinker in modified binders properties, with high tan ō reduction, complex modulus increase and deformation reduction after application of cyclic loads, characteristics that turn possible the existence of pavements with greater rutting and fatigue resistance. It was also verified the shale oil efficacy as a compatibilizer agent, providing an excellent polymer dispersion inside asphalt matrix and a stable storage binder at high temperatures. This oil can be considered as a technical available option to aromatic oil presently in use at pavement industry.

Synthèse de polymères aromatiques pour la conception de membranes conductrices ioniques / Synthesis of conducting polymer anionic.Leray, Ludovic 29 November 2012 (has links)
Le travail reporté dans ce manuscrit concerne l’élaboration de matériaux conducteurs protoniques et anioniques destinés à une application en tant que membrane ou liants d’électrodes. Tout d’abord, la première approche consiste en la formation de polymères pour la conception de membranes anioniques. Pour cela, 2 types de fonctions amine tertiaire ont été greffés le long de la chaîne des polysulfones, puis transformés en ammonium pour leur donner un caractère conducteur anionique. Les fonctions greffées sont de types diméthylamino et N,N diméthylaminométhyle. Différentes séries de polysulfones ont été élaborées en faisant varier le taux de fonctions amine greffées. Pour les polysulfones comportant les fonctions diméthyalmino, les résultats montrent que la stabilité thermique des fonctions ammonium est trop faible pour les utiliser pour la conception de membranes conductrices anioniques. Pour le deuxième type de fonctions amine, des membranes ayant une conductivité maximum de 40 mS.cm-1 pour un taux d’humidité de 95% et une température de 100°C ont été obtenu. Par ailleurs, pour la conception de liants d’électrodes, la synthèse de polyarylènes éthers fluorés conducteurs anioniques a été effectuée. Là encore, une série de polymères a été réalisée en faisant varier le taux de fonctions amine introduit. Les masses molaires ont été controlées pour permettre aux polymères d’être suffisamment soluble pour la mise en solution. Les valeurs de conductivités sont de l’ordre de 35 mS.cm-1. Enfin, pour la conception de membrane protonique, les polymères synthétisés précédemment avec les fonctions diméthylamino ont été utilisés. Ces polymères ont été par la suite dopés à l’aide d’acide phosphorique et la conductivité des membranes obtenues a été testée en condition anhydre. Les résultats obtenus pour ce genre de matériaux est de 160 mS.cm-1 pour un taux de dopage de 50%. En revanche, pour des forts taux de dopage, la conductivité obtenue était plus forte (260 mS.cm-1) mais les membranes perdaient de leurs propriétés mécaniques alors que pour de faibles taux de dopage (environ 18%), les conductivités obtenues étaient faibles. / The work reported in this thesis is the development of proton and anion conducting materials for applications such as membrane or binders electrodes. The first approach is the formation of polymers for the anionic membranes design. To perform it, two types of tertiary amine functions have been grafted along the polysulfones chain, then converted to ammonium rendering data anionic conductive. The grafted functions types are dimethylamino and N, N dimethylaminomethyl. Different series of polysulfones were prepared by varying the rate of amine functions grafted. For polysulfones with dimethyalmino functions, the results show that the thermal stability of ammonium functions is too low to be used in anion conductive membranes design. In the second type of amine, membranes having a maximum conductivity of 40 mS.cm-1 to a moisture content of 95% and a temperature of 100 °C have been obtained. In addition, for the electrodes binders design, the synthesis of fluorinated ethers polyarylenes anionic conductors has been completed. Then, a series of polymers was carried out by varying the rate of amine introduced. The molar masses were controlled to allow polymers to be sufficiently soluble for the dissolution. Conductivity values are around 35 mS.cm-1. Finally, the design of membrane proton polymers synthesized with previously dimethylamino functions has been chosen. These polymers were subsequently doped with phosphoric acid and the conductivity of the resulting membranes has been tested in anhydrous condition. The results obtained for this kind of material is 160 mS.cm-1 for a doping level of 50%. However, for high doping level, conductivity obtained was higher (260 mS.cm-1) but the membranes lost their mechanical properties, while for low doping levels (about 18%), the conductivities obtained were low.

Análise de parâmetros influentes na aderência de matrizes cimentícias. / Analysis parameters that influence the adhesion of cementitious matrices.Eliane Betânia Carvalho Costa 29 November 2013 (has links)
O presente trabalho tem como objetivo identificar e analisar parâmetros que influenciam a aderência de matrizes cimentícias a substratos apontando soluções técnicas para a melhoria de tal propriedade. Para tanto, foram desenvolvidos três estudos independentes: primeiro, a elaboração e validação de um modelo matemático com base na restrição geométrica para verificar a contribuição da penetração de partículas em meios porosos. O modelo considera que, após serem lançadas sobre a superfície, as partículas com área de projeção no plano menor ou igual à área do poro podem penetrá-la; segundo, um estudo experimental comparando substratos cimentícios com mesmas características topográficas (rugosidade/porosidade) e diferentes níveis de absorção obtidos mediante tratamentos superficiais: aplicação de silano e lixamento para verificar o efeito da absorção do substrato. O controle da absorção foi realizado por medições do ângulo de contato aparente e ensaios de absortividade; e por último, a influência do teor de ligante da matriz foi avaliada pela substituição de 30% e 60% do cimento por finos calcários, com duas distribuições granulométricas, em argamassas aplicadas sobre blocos cerâmicos. O efeito da aglomeração de partículas foi estudado pela adição de dispersante a base de policarboxilato num teor de 0,02% em relação ao volume total de sólidos. As características reológicas das argamassas foram medidas por reometria rotacional. O desempenho mecânico da interface matriz-substrato foi avaliado pela resistência de aderência ä tração. Os resultados mostraram que a aderência depende de parâmetros mais complexos que a simples absorção do substrato e, consequente ancoragem mecânica pela penetração de partículas nos poros. O uso de partículas finas associadas a dispersantes e tratamentos superficiais do substrato aumentaram aderência pelo acréscimo de contato matriz-substrato. / This study aims to identify and analyse parameters that influence the adhesion among cementitious matrices and substrates pointing out technical solutions to improve this property. The research has been developed by means of three independent studies. The first one concerns the development and validation of a mathematical model, based on geometric constraints, for the estimation of the particles potential penetration in porous media. The model considers particles with projected area less than or equal to the pore area can penetrate the pore. The second study is an experimental comparison among cementitious substrates with same porosity and roughness and different levels of absorption achieved by surface treatment. The application of abrasive methods and a water repellent have been used to manage the effect of the absorption of substrates. The control of wettability and absorption has been carried out by measuring the apparent contact angle and sorptivity. The third one regards the evaluation of binders content in cementitious matrices. Mortars, with two different limestone fines, have been made and applied on red ceramic substrates (clay bricks). The limestone fines, with two different particle size distributions, have been added at rates of 30% and 60% as replacement of binders volume. The agglomeration of particles has been assessed adding a polycarboxylate type admixture (0.02% of total solids volume), whereas the rheological behavior have been determined using a rotational rheometer. The performance of interface between matrix and substrate has been determined measuring the tensile adhesive strength. Results showed that the adhesion depends on parameters more complex than the simple absorption of substrate and the consequent mechanical interlocking of particles into pores. The use of fine particles, combined with the dispersant and with the silane surface treatment increased the adhesion through the increase of the contact area.

Previous issue date: 2016-08-01 / Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de Goiás - FAPEG / Modern agriculture requires productivity, efficiency and quality. Therefore, there is need for the
application of agricultural lime to correct the soil acidity. The Midwest was appointed as the
largest producer of agricultural limestone, with 38.2% and Goiás and holder of 11.6%. In limestone
beneficiation process is the generation of fine material (through in # 400 (0.035 mm)), which does
not have economic viability in the agricultural, metallurgical and calcination. This is because this
particle size of particle decreases the percolation of gas in blast furnaces and has slow settling
when used in agriculture, can be transported by wind generating environmental liabilities.
Briquetting is to agglomeration of fine particles by pressure, aided or not by a binder, allowing
obtaining not only compacts, but with size, shape and mechanical parameters. The objective of this
study was to investigate the binding of fine limestone through briquetting through use of a specific
type known to have very fine grained (<0.075 mm) using organic and inorganic binders.
Agglomeration of fine limestone through the briquetting was conducted by varying the amounts of
water (used as inorganic binding agent) 0; 5; 7.5; 10; 12.5% and 2.5; 5; 7.5 and 8.5% organic
binders - Molasses Soy and Treacle of cane sugar. The limestone powder and briquettes were
analyzed chemically and physically by Scanning Electron Microscopy, Energy Dispersive X-ray
(EDS), chemical and particle size analysis. The briquettes were subjected to impact resistance test,
resistance to breakdown in water and compressive strength. The best results in impact resistance
tests were analyzed and from these results of other tests were performed. The results of mechanical
impact resistance were analyzed statistically by analysis of variance (ANOVA), checking if the
binder content and factors influenced the agglomeration of the mineral. In addition to lowering the
environmental liabilities, the briquettes will also generate profits for the mining industry and can
offer a co-product with similar characteristics to the product originally marketed. / A agricultura moderna exige produtividade, eficiência e qualidade. Por isso, há necessidade da
aplicação do calcário agrícola para corrigir a acidez dos solos. O Centro- Oeste foi apontado como
o maior produtor de calcário agrícola, com 38,2% e Goiás sendo detentor de 11,6%. No processo
de beneficiamento do calcário ocorre a geração de material fino (passante em 400# (0,035 mm)),
que não possui viabilidade econômica nos setores agrícola, metalúrgico e de calcinação. Isso
ocorre porque essa granulometria de partícula diminui a percolação de gases nos altos-fornos e
possui sedimentação lenta quando empregada na agricultura, podendo ser transportada pelo vento
gerando passivo ambiental. A briquetagem consiste na aglomeração de partículas finas através de
pressão, auxiliada ou não por aglutinantes, permitindo obtenção de produtos não só compactados,
porém com forma, tamanho e parâmetros mecânicos. O objetivo do trabalho foi verificar a
aglomeração dos finos de calcário por meio da briquetagem através aproveitamento de um tipo
específico conhecido por possuir granulometria bastante fina (< 0,075 mm) utilizando
aglomerantes orgânicos e inorgânicos. A aglomeração dos finos de calcário através da
briquetagem, foi realizada variando as dosagens de água (utilizada como agente aglomerante
inorgânico) de 0; 5; 7,5; 10; 12,5% e 2,5; 5; 7,5 e 8,5% de aglomerantes orgânicos – Melaço de
Soja e Melado de Cana-de-açúcar. O calcário em pó e os briquetes foram analisados química e
fisicamente por meio de Microscopia Eletrônica de Varredura, Energia Dispersiva de Raios-X
(EDS), análises química e granulométrica. Os briquetes foram submetidos a testes de resistência ao
impacto, resistência à decomposição em água e resistência a compressão. Os melhores resultados
obtidos no teste de resistência ao impacto foram analisados e a partir desses resultados foram
realizados os demais testes. Os resultados de resistência mecânica ao impacto foram analisados
estatisticamente através da análise de variância (ANOVA), verificando se os fatores aglomerantes
e teor influenciaram na aglomeração do mineral. Além de diminuir o passivo ambiental, os
briquetes também irão gerar lucros para a indústria mineral, podendo oferecer um coproduto com
características semelhantes ao produto originalmente comercializado.
