The enthalpies of dilution ΔHdil of aqueous solutions of a conjugated polyelectrolyte, poly(thiophen-3-ylacetic acid), neutralized by lithium, sodium, cesium, tetramethyl-, tetraethyl-, tetrapropyl-, and tetrabutylammonium hydroxides, were determined in the concentration range from cp = 2 × 10(-3) to 1 × 10(-1) monomol dm(-3) and for T = 278.15, 298.15, and 318.15 K. At low concentrations the d...

As a contribution to the study of alkaline iron (III) monophosphates, we recently investigated the A3PO4-M3(PO4)2FePO4 (A: alkali metal; M: divalent cation) using both the flux method and the solid state reaction. This investigation led to the synthesis and structural characterization of twelve new compounds. Their structural analysis showed them to be constructed by PO4 tetrahedra and FeOx pol...

Catalytic hydrolysis technology of carbonyl sulfide (COS) at low temperature was reviewed, including the development of catalysts, reaction kinetics, and reaction mechanism of COS hydrolysis. It was indicated that the catalysts are mainly involved metal oxide and activated carbon. The active ingredients which can load on COS hydrolysis catalyst include alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, transi...

Synopsis: This paper provides the state-of-the-art information on high-calcium, ASTM Class C fly ash use in cement-based construction materials, such as high-performance concrete, ready-mixed concrete, and low-strength flowable concrete. The major topics included are: properties of fly ash, effects of fly ash inclusion on fresh and hardened concrete and controlled low-strength materials (CLSM);...

Development of the advanced mold flux is always mandatory to enhance both quality and productivity continuous casting steels. Especially, increasing demands for high alloy steels production speed reveals serious contradiction between two principal functions flux: lubrication controlling heat transfer. In order overcome this problematic needs, some innovative research activities are being carrie...

AIM To evaluate the therapeutic effect of Nodinhibit-1 on alkali-burn-induced corneal neovascularization (CNV) and inflammation. The nucleotide-binding oligomerzation domain 1 (NOD1) is a potent angiogenic gene. METHODS The alkali-burned rat corneas (32 right eyes) were treated with eye drops containing Nodinhibit-1 or phosphate buffered solution (PBS, PH 7.4) only, four times per day. CNV an...
