Parameter Identification of the 2-Chlorophenol Oxidation Model Using Improved Differential Search Algorithm by Guang-zhou Chen, Jia-quan Wang, Ru-zhong Li

“…To verify the effectiveness of the improved algorithms, the optimization performance of improved DS in kinetic parameter estimation is studied and compared with that of the basic DS algorithm, differential evolution, artificial bee colony optimization, and quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization. And the experimental results demonstrate that the DS with the Latin hypercube sampling method does not present better performance, while the hybrid methods have the advantages of strong global search ability and local search ability and are more effective than the other algorithms.…”

Potential Trace Metal–Organic Complexation in the Atmosphere by Hiroshi Okochi, Peter Brimblecombe

“…The lower Henry’s law constants of the α-dicarbonyls, such as glyoxal and methylglyoxal, mean that the complexation could lead to profound increases in their partition into the aqueous phase. Despite quantum mechanical arguments for copper–glyoxal complexes, experiments showed no evidence of complexation between either hydrated or unhydrated α-dicarbonyls and the cupric ion. …”
