It is shown that that the area law for the entropy of a quantum eld in a Kerr space-time is due to the quantum statistics with the maximal entropy principle. The entropies for one particle, a Boltzmann gas, a quantum mechanical gas obeying Bose-Einstein or Fermi-Dirac statistics, and a quantum eld in the Kerr space-time are calculated using the microcanonical ensemble approach and the brick wal...

Design of optimal microstructures for infiltrated solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) electrodes is a complicated process because of the multitude of the electrochemical and physical phenomena taking place in the electrodes in different temperatures, current densities and reactant flow rates. In this study, a stochastic geometric modeling method is used to create a range of digitally realized infi...

Because of its mild reaction condition, relatively high denitrification efficiency and ability of combined removal of various pollutants, the flue gas denitrification technology based on oxidation theory has become a new and feasible method for flue gas denitrification. The technology has been applied extensively and studied in depth. This paper reviews the influencing factors, reaction mechani...

the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride as a source of hydrogen gas is studied at different mole ratios of h+ to nabh4. the sulfonated porous carbon (spc) is used as a source of hydrogen ion and catalyst. it is found that the sulfonated porous carbon exhibits high activity for the hydrolysis of nabh4 to generate hydrogen gas at room temperature in comparison to amberlyst-15 and nafion-nr50. the ki...

The use of Radiofrequency Quadrupole (RFQ) guided ion-gas reaction cells has been shown to be very effective in the elimination of a number of atomic and molecular isobars which have caused difficulties for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) measurements [1, 2]. However, the transformation of the equipment used for these proof–of–principle measurements into a system suitable for routine analys...

The reaction of ammonia and pyridine with trimethylsulfonium ion has been studied in gas phase and solution. Density functional theory at the B3LYP/6-31+G level was used to describe the energy changes along the reaction coordinate in the gas phase, and the self-consistent isodensity polarizable continuum model (SCI-PCM) was used to calculate the effect of cyclohexane and dimethyl sulfoxide as t...

This paper deals with the specification and the implementation of multi-level agent-based models, using a formal model, IRM4MLS (an Influence Reaction Model for Multi-Level Simulation), based on the Influence Reaction principle. Proposed examples illustrate forms of top-down control in (multi-level) multi-agent based-simulations.

Sufficient conditions for the validity of the discrete maximum principle (DMP) for a 1D diffusion-reaction problem −u + κu = f with the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions discretized by the higher-order finite element method are presented. It is proved that the DMP is satisfied if the lengths h of all elements are shorter then one-third of the length of the entire domain and if κh is sma...

3D-Printing with the well-established 'Fused Deposition Modeling' technology was used to print totally gas-tight reaction vessels, combined with printed cuvettes, inside the inert-gas atmosphere of a glovebox. During pauses of the print, the reaction flasks out of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene were filled with various reactants. After the basic test reactions to proof the oxygen tightness and...
