Simultaneous Determination of Salicylic Acid, Jasmonic Acid, Methyl Salicylate, and Methyl Jasmonate from Ulmus pumila Leaves by GC-MS by Zhi-hong Huang, Zhi-li Wang, Bao-lin Shi, Dong Wei, Jian-xin Chen, Su-li Wang, Bao-jia Gao

“…The results showed that the level of salicylic acid, jasmonic acid, methyl salicylate, and methyl jasmonate increased remarkably in U. pumila once infected by T. akinire Sasaki, but the maximums of these four compounds occurred at different times. Salicylic acid level reached the highest at the early stage, and jasmonic acid level went to the maximum in the middle stage; by contrast, change of content of methyl salicylate and methyl jasmonate was the quite opposite.…”

A Facile and Waste-Free Strategy to Fabricate Pt-C/TiO2 Microspheres: Enhanced Photocatalytic Performance for Hydrogen Evolution by Hui Li, Xiaoyan Zhang, Xiaoli Cui

“…Benefitting from the electron-hole separation behavior and reduced overpotential of H+/H2, remarkably enhanced hydrogen production was demonstrated and the photocatalytic hydrogen generation from 0.4 wt% Pt-C/TiO2 increased by 22 times. This study also demonstrates that the novel and facile method is highly attractive, due to its easy operation, requiring no post treatment and energy-saving features.…”

Study of stress-strain state of wheelset of freight car during braking by А. А. Krutko, D. A. Sedykh, А. А. Vorobev, A. R. Putintseva, Yu. O. Filippov

“…With prolonged braking (the movement of the train on a long descent), maximum stresses occur at the point of transition from the disk to the rim on the inside of the wheel, and the value of these stresses is 2,5 times higher than in emergency braking mode. The finite element method is used to determine the stress-strain state of the wheelset of a freight car during braking.…”
