Pseudo-second order model for sorption processes

A literature review of the use of sorbents and biosorbents to treat polluted aqueous effluents containing dyes/organics or metal ions has been conducted. Over 70 systems have been reported since 1984 and over 43 of these reported the mechanism as being a pseudo-first order kinetic mechanism. Three sorption kinetic models are presented in this paper and have been used to test 11 of the literatur...

Reply to comment by von Storch and Zorita on ‘‘Hockey sticks, principal components, and spurious significance’’

[1] Von Storch and Zorita [2005] (hereinafter referred to as VZ) concur that the Mann et al. [1998] (hereinafter referred to as MBH98) principal component (PC) method ‘‘very often shows a hockey stick shaped pattern even if the data was by construction free of such structures’’ the Artificial Hockey Stick (AHS) effect. We did not claim that the AHS effect applied to all situations. We did claim...

construction and validation of translation metacognitive strategy questionnaire and its application to translation quality

like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...
