Abstract: Disclosed by the present disclosure is a method for obtaining key parameters for pollutant transportations under coupling effects of temperature and hydrodynamics based on a site scale. The method is to obtain the permeability parameters, thermal conductivity, and dispersion coefficient of the contaminated sites based on multi field coupling numerical simulations of hydrodynamic field-temperature field-concentration field. The transportation parameters for pollutants on the site are key indicators for the investigations and treatments of organic pollution on the site.

Abstract: Metallocene solutions containing trimethylaluminum, a C4-C8 alkane solvent, and a metallocene compound in an amount from 0.2 to 8 mg per mL of the metallocene solution are described.

Abstract: Disclosed are single-metallocene catalyst systems and processes for polymerizing olefins using new metallocenes and solid super acids (SSA) activator-support combinations which produce polyethylenes having a higher PDI (polydispersity index, Mw/Mn) and a lower LCB (long chain branching) as compared to polyethylenes produced with a benchmark metallocene. A series of silyl-bridged bis(indenyl) metallocenes having an omega-(?-)alkenyl moiety on the silyl bridge were prepared and found to exhibit excellent polymerization activities and produced polyethylenes with broad molecular weight distributions, relatively high melt indices, and low levels of long chain branching (LCB) as compared with the silyl-bridged metallocenes absent an ?-alkenyl moiety on the silyl bridge.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for accessing a trusted platform module (TPM) are disclosed. In an implementation, a method comprises receiving, by a virtual machine monitor from a first virtual machine in at least one virtual machine, a first notification message for requesting to access the TPM. In response to determining that the TPM is unlocked, locking, by the virtual machine monitor, the TPM to allow the TPM to be accessed only by the first virtual machine, and sending a first decision message to the first virtual machine indicating the first virtual machine to start performing a first access operation on the TPM. Receiving, by the virtual machine monitor, a second notification message from the first virtual machine, and unlocking, by the virtual machine monitor, the TPM in response to the second notification message.

Abstract: Memory page management is described. A to-be-swapped-out first memory page is determined from a secure memory area of a memory. A second memory page is determined from the memory, where the second memory page is located outside the secure memory area. Based on a physical address of the second memory page by using a memory encryption engine (MEE) of a processor, target data stored on the to-be-swapped-out first memory page is encrypted to obtain a target ciphertext. The target ciphertext is written on the second memory page. The to-be-swapped-out first memory page is released and the second memory page is locked, so that the target data is allowed to swap only from the second memory page into the secure memory area.

Abstract: Disclosed are metallocene compounds, catalyst compositions and methods for making catalyst compositions, and processes for polymerizing olefins. In an aspect, a series of cyclopentadienyl tert-butyl fluorenyl metallocenes featuring various alkylsulfide groups on a carbon bridge linking the cyclopentadienyl tert-butyl fluorenyl ligands were prepared and evaluated as ethylene polymerization catalysts in the presence of metallocene activators, such as solid super acids (SSA). The metallocenes containing these tethered alkylsulfide substituents provide catalysts which exhibited excellent ethylene polymerization activities comparable to the analogous metallocenes containing tethered olefins and polyethylenes with reduced long chain branching (LCB) relative to metallocenes with a saturated hydrocarbyl tether.

Abstract: A method for forming a complex shape three-dimensional ceramic article by printing a first layer of a first material having a first fraction of first ceramic particles and a first fraction of a first polymeric ceramic precursor. A second layer is printed such that it is at least partially disposed on the first layer of a second material having a second fraction of second ceramic particles and a second fraction of a second polymeric ceramic precursor. A composite of the first layer and the second layer is heated at a temperature sufficient to decompose the first and second polymeric ceramic precursors and sinter the article. During the sintering process, the first and second layers with different fractions of ceramic particles undergo different degrees of shrinkage, resulting in a tuneable mismatch of the bilayer structure and accurately achieving a targeted geometry.
