Synthesis and Characterization of New Racemic α-Heterocyclic α,α-Diaminoes…
We reported here the synthesis of new α,α-diaminoester and α,α-diamino acid derivatives, as 2-benzamido-2-[(tetrahydro-furan-2-ylmethyl)amino] acetic acid through alkaline hydrolysis reaction of corresponding N-benzoylated methyl α,α-diamino ester. The α,α-diaminoester derivative was synthesized by nucleophilic substitution of methyl α-azid…

Modelling of Solar Radiation for Photovoltaic Applications
This chapter explores the different ways in which solar radiation (SR) can be quantified for use in photovoltaic applications. Some solar radiation models that incorporate different combinations of parameters are presented. The parameters mostly used include the clearness index (Kt), the sunshine fraction (SF), cloud cover (CC) and air mass (m). Som…

Stability Analysis of Circular Tunnels in Cohesive-Frictional Soil Using the …
In this chapter, the stability of a circular tunnel and dual circular tunnels in cohesive-frictional soils subjected to surcharge loading is investigated by using the node-based smoothed finite element method (NS-FEM). In the NS-FEM, the smoothing strain is calculated over smoothing domains associated with the elements' nodes. The soil is assumed as…
