Improved Cascade-Exciton Model of Nuclear Reactions

Recent improvements to the Cascade-Exciton Model (CEM) of nuclear reactions are briefly described. They concern mainly the cascade stage of reactions and a better description of nuclei during the preequilibrium and evaporation stages of reactions. The development of the CEM concerning fission is given in a separate talk at this conference. The increased accuracy and predictive power of the CEM ...

Evaluation of nanoparticle-immobilized cellulase for improved ethanol yield in simultaneous saccharification and fermentation reactions.

Ethanol yields were 2.1 (P = 0.06) to 2.3 (P = 0.01) times higher in simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) reactions of microcrystalline cellulose when cellulase was physisorbed on silica nanoparticles compared to enzyme in solution. In SSF reactions, cellulose is hydrolyzed to glucose by cellulase while yeast simultaneously ferments glucose to ethanol. The 35°C temperature and t...

Monolysocardiolipin: improved preparation with high yield.

A simple, high-yielding preparation of monolysocardiolipin (MLCL) by phospholipase A2 hydrolysis of cardiolipin (CL) in methanol on a semi-preparative scale is described. In methanol, phospholipase A2 preferentially hydrolyzes CL to MLCL. This selectivity results in ∼80% yield of MLCL. The synthesized MLCL and dilysocardiolipin were characterized by NMR and ESI-MS/MS. Only the sn-2 position of ...

1 Cross sections and reaction rates 2 Consider a thin target of thickness dx and number density of targets nt being bombarded by a beam of number density Nb moving at velocity v. Each target nucleus presents a target area 3⁄4 { if one of the bombarding particles passes within the area 3⁄4, interaction (scattering, for example) occurs, otherwise not. Now if the beam covers an area A, the fractio...
