Water as a reaction medium for clean chemical processes

Clean Water Should Be Recognized as a Human Right

United States refused to support a declaration that would recognize water as a basic human right. The special resolution proposed by Germany and Spain, and endorsed by the President of the UN General Assembly, was instead rejected in favor of further examination of issues of access to safe drinking water and sanitation [1]. Opposition to this declaration runs counter to considerable evidence th...

Delay Line as a Chemical Reaction Network

Chemistry as an unconventional computing medium presently lacks a systematic approach to gather, store, and sort data over time. To build more complicated systems in chemistries, the ability to look at data in the past would be a valuable tool to perform complex calculations. In this paper we present the first implementation of a chemical delay line providing information storage in a chemistry ...

Genetic Recombination as a Chemical Reaction Network

Dedicated to the memory of the Viennese chemists and mathematicians Rudolf Wegscheider (1859–1935), Hilda Geiringer (1893–1973), and Friedrich J. M. Horn (1927–1978) Abstract The process of genetic recombination can be seen as a chemical reaction network with mass-action kinetics. We review the known results on existence, uniqueness, and global stability of an equilibrium in every compatibility...

Developing Adaptive Differential Evolution as a New Evolutionary Algorithm, Application in Optimization of Chemical Processes

Reaction-Diffusion Processes as a Computational Paradigm

Turing introduced reaction diffusion systems (RD-systems) as a mechanism which made possible the differentiation of morphological structure[8]. We have shown how these systems can be used to provide an information network for smart sensor systems[1]. However, we propose here that reaction diffusion systems provide a more general computational model, and indeed, can be shown to include the Turin...
