An incremental isoconversional method for kinetic analysis

New incremental isoconversional method for kinetic analysis of solid thermal decomposition

A simple and precise incremental isoconversional integral method based on Li-Tang (LT) method is proposed for kinetic analysis of solid thermal decomposition, in order to evaluate the activation energy as a function of conversion degree. The new method overcomes the limitation of LT method in which the calculated activation energy is influenced by the lower limit of integration. By applying the...

Kinetic Data Structures for Clipped Voronoi Computations

We consider the mesh refinement problem in the kinetic setting: given an input set of moving points, the objective is to design a kinetic data structure (KDS) for inserting additional so-called Steiner points so that the resulting output set yields a quality triangulation. Therefore, the selection of Steiner points plays a cruicial role, both in terms of the output itself and the quality of the...

An incremental isoconversional method for kinetic analysis based on the orthogonal distance regression

The parameters obtained from a kinetic analysis of thermoanalytical data often exhibit a conversion-dependent behavior. A novel incremental isoconversional method able to deal with this phenomenon is proposed. The kinetic model is directly fitted to the experimental data using nonlinear orthogonal least squares procedure. The data are processed without transformations, so their error distributi...

A simple kinetic model with explicit predictions for nuclear transport.

Molecular exchange between the cell nucleus and cytoplasm is one of the most fundamental features of eukaryotic cell biology. The nuclear pores act as a conduit of this transport, both for cargo that crosses the pore autonomously as well as that whose translocation requires an intermediary receptor. The major class of such receptors is regulated by the small GTPase Ran, via whose interaction th...
