This tutorial covers five most commonly used python libraries which are used for web development. All the mentioned libraries in this tutorial are the first choice in certain project-specific conditions/requirements. Also, while trying to select the libraries, the developers interest (based on their queries and community support) is considered. Audience This tutorial is designed to compare the basic features of some of the most commonly used python frameworks. The target audience for this tutorial is: Anyone who wants to have a basic understanding of Django, Flask, Pyramid, Web2py and Dash libraries. Anyone who wants to compare different Python frameworks and choose the most suitable framework for their projects. Anyone who wants to explore Python web technologies in detail. Prerequisites Though there is no mandatory requirement for this tutorial, any prior knowledge on below mentioned technologies will be an added advantage: Knowledge of any web related technologies Python language Developers/users who have previously worked on any python framework will definitely find it easier to understand Copyright & Disclaimer Copyright 2018 by Tutorials Point (I) Pvt.

  • 1 Introducing Symfony, Cakephp, and Zend Framework
    1 Introducing Symfony, CakePHP, and Zend Framework An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come. — Victor Hugo WHAT’S IN THIS CHAPTER? ‰ General discussion on frameworks. ‰ Introducing popular PHP frameworks. ‰ Design patterns. Everyone knows that all web applications have some things in common. They have users who can register, log in, and interact. Interaction is carried out mostly through validated and secured forms, and results are stored in various databases. The databases are then searched, data is processed, and data is presented back to the user, often according to his locale. If only you could extract these patterns as some kind of abstractions and transport them into further applications, the developmentCOPYRIGHTED process would be much MATERIAL faster. This task obviously can be done. Moreover, it can be done in many different ways and in almost any programming language. That’s why there are so many brilliant solutions that make web development faster and easier. In this book, we present three of them: Symfony, CakePHP, and Zend Framework. They do not only push the development process to the extremes in terms of rapidity but also provide massive amounts of advanced features that have become a must in the world of Web 2.0 applications. cc01.indd01.indd 1 11/24/2011/24/2011 55:45:10:45:10 PPMM 2 x CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCING SYMFONY, CAKEPHP, AND ZEND FRAMEWORK WHAT ARE WEB APPLICATION FRAMEWORKS AND HOW ARE THEY USED? A web application framework is a bunch of source code organized into a certain architecture that can be used for rapid development of web applications.

  • Magnetic Silica Particles Functionalized with Guanidine Derivatives For
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Magnetic silica particles functionalized with guanidine derivatives for microwave‑assisted transesterifcation of waste oil Petre Chipurici1,6, Alexandru Vlaicu1,2,6, Ioan Călinescu1, Mircea Vînătoru1, Cristina Busuioc1, Adrian Dinescu3, Adi Ghebaur1,4, Edina Rusen1, Georgeta Voicu1, Maria Ignat5 & Aurel Diacon1* This study aimed to develop a facile synthesis procedure for heterogeneous catalysts based on organic guanidine derivatives superbases chemically grafted on silica‑coated Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles. Thus, the three organosilanes that were obtained by reacting the selected carbodiimides (N,N′‑ dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), N,N′‑diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC), respectively 1‑ethyl‑3‑(3‑ dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC) with 3‑aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) were used in a one‑pot synthesis stage for the generation of a catalytic active protective shell through the simultaneous hydrolysis/condensation reaction with tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS). The catalysts were characterized by FTIR, TGA, SEM, BET and XRD analysis confrming the successful covalent attachment of the organic derivatives in the silica shell. The second aim was to highlight the capacity of microwaves (MW) to intensify the transesterifcation process and to evaluate the activity, stability, and reusability characteristics of the catalysts. Thus, in MW‑assisted transesterifcation reactions, all catalysts displayed FAME yields of over 80% even after 5 reactions/activation cycles. Additionally, the infuence of FFA content on the catalytic activity was investigated. As a result, in the case of Fe3O4@ SiO2‑EDG, a higher tolerance towards the FFA content can be noticed with a FAME yield of over 90% (for a 5% (weight) vs oil catalyst content) and 5% weight FFA content. Biodiesel can represent a suitable renewable alternative for the direct replacement of standard diesel fuels derived from petroleum sources1,2.
