    Geometric evolutions of curves represented by graphs are studied when the interface energy is not necessarily smooth. The theory of nonlinear semigroups yields a unique global solution even if the initial curve is not necessarily admissible. Usual evolution law for the crystalline interface energy is justified

    This paper reports on the preparation of porous membranes consisting of plate-like β″-alumina grains and the evaluation for microfiltration properties. Porous β″-alumina-based ceramics were prepared by the solid-state reactive sintering of Na2CO3 and α-Al2O3 at 1100–1300 °C. To study the effect of impurities in the starting powder mixtures, LiF-doped membranes were also prepared. As for the water filtration test, the turbidity before and after the vacuum filtration was measured using sintered porous membranes. To simulate bacteria-contaminated water, a suspension of a commercial boehmite powder (D50 = 0.7 μm) in distilled water was used. The non-doped samples sintered at 1200 °C were composed of β″-alumina (84 wt%) and β-alumina (16 wt%) grains and showed a good microfiltration performance; the turbidities before and after filtration were 894.4 NTU and 1.46 NTU, respectively

    Simple synthesis of 1,3,4,5a,6,10b,11,11a-octahydro-2H-pyrazino[1\u27,2\u27:1,5]pyrrolo[2, 3-b]indole derivatives based on 1-hydroxyindole chemistry

They are shown to be suitable intermediates for the synthesis of 3,10b-disubstituted (3S,5aR,10bS,11as)-1,3,4,5a,6,10b,11, 11a-octahydro-2H-pyrazino[1\u27,2\u27: 1,5]pyrrolo[2,3-b]indole-1,4-dione derivatives
