The "Equilibrium Model" has provided new tools for describing and investigating enzyme thermal adaptation. It has been shown that the effect of temperature on enzyme activity is not only governed by deltaG(double dagger)(cat) and deltaG(double dagger)(inact) but also by two new intrinsic parameters, deltaH(eq) and T(eq), which describe the enthalpy and midpoint, respectively, of a reversible eq...

in this research the mechanical behavior of an expansive soil (with different pore fluid) was investigated under the constant and variable temperature through experimental tests. the soil samples with different pore fluid (distilled water, nacl and cacl2 with concentration of 250 gr/lit) were prepared by static compaction method. experimental testes were conducted in two modified odometer under...

phosphoryl containing ligand tri-n-octylphosphine oxide (topo) in dichloromethane has been used as an extracting agent for tetravalent thorium and trivalent europium ions from their 1 m sodium nitrates. the equilibrium data reveal that both ions are extracted as the complexes at 1:3 metal/ligand ratio. the values of conditional extraction equilibrium constant (kex) show the superior extractive ...

the dimerization constants of safranine t have been determined by studying the dependence of its absorption spectra on the temperature in the range 30–70 ◦c at different total concentrations of safranine t (1.03×10−5, 1.44×10−5 and 1.73×10−5 m). the monomer–dimer equilibrium of safranine t has been determined by applying mcr-als method on the absorption spectra. the quantitative analysis of the...

the present study was carried out to investigate the potential of carboxylate group functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (mwcnt−cooh) adsorbent for the removal of methyl orange (mo) textile dye from aqueous solutions. the effects of ph, shaking time and temperature on adsorption capacity were studied; the contact time to obtain equilibrium at 298 ˚k was fixed at 25 min. the effect of te...

We calculate the nonequilibrium mean-field "temperature" of a brownian system in contact with a heat bath. We consider two different cases: an equilibrium bath in the presence of strong external forces, and a nonequilibrium bath. By proving the existence of a generalized fluctuation-dissipation relation, this mean-field "temperature" can be used to describe a nonequilibrium system as is if it w...

1. Introduction. In the linear range a general theory of thermoelasticity based on irreversible thermodynamics was developed and discussed extensively in some earlier work ([3], [4], [9]). It was assumed that the elastic solid is initially in a stress-free equilibrium state at uniform temperature. Completely linearized perturbations in the vicinity of this equilibrium state are then analyzed as...

The potential of UV-light for the photochemical synthesis and stabilization of non-equilibrium crystalline phases in thin films is demonstrated for the β-Bi2O3 polymorph. The pure β-Bi2O3 phase is thermodynamically stable at high temperature (450-667 °C), which limits its applications in devices. Here, a tailored UV-absorbing bismuth(III)-N-methyldiethanolamine complex is selected as an ideal p...

We explore new routes for characterizing the Debye-like and α relaxation in 2-ethyl-1-hexanol (2E1H) monoalcohol by using low frequency dielectric techniques including thermally stimulated depolarization current (TSDC) techniques and isothermal depolarization current methods. In this way, we have improved the resolution of the overlapped processes making it possible the analysis of the data in ...

The kinetics of chromium ions sorption from aqueous solution on fungi biomass have been investigated in a batch system. The experimental data were analysed based on an intraparticle diffusion equation and a pseudo-second-order mechanism, in order to predict the constant rate of sorption and the equilibrium capacity with the effect of initial chromium ions concentration, temperature and initial ...
