The application of the van der Waals equation state to asymmetric nuclear matter is considered in a critical region. corrections pressure and free energy due Fermi statistics are obtained starting from Thomas - entropy expression which ensures fulfilment Nernst theorem. derived account for effective nucleon mass neutron-proton isotopic asymmetry. parameters deduced by taking experimental value ...

Empirical potential-based quasi-continuum theory (EQT) provides a route to incorporate atomistic detail into continuum framework such as the Nernst-Planck equation. EQT can also be used to construct a grand potential functional for classical density functional theory (cDFT). The combination of EQT and cDFT provides a simple and fast approach to predict the inhomogeneous density, potential profi...

The mechanisms underlying the pulmonary arterial pressor response to hypoxia have been investigated by studying specimens of pulmonary and systemic vascular smooth muscle and the isolated pulmonary and systemic circulations. Hypoxia caused a unique and reversible loss of potassium and gain in sodium by pulmonary arterial smooth muscle that did not occur in pulmonary veins or systemic arteries. ...

Electrochemical measurements are generally done under isothermal conditions. Here we report on the application of a controlled temperature gradient between the working electrode surface and the solution. Using electrochemical sensors prepared on ceramic materials with extremely high specific heat conductivity, the temperature gradient between the electrode and solution was applied here as a sec...

In this paper the operation of an amperometric biosensor producing a chemically amplified signal is modelled numerically. The chemical amplification is achieved by using synergistic substrates. The model is based on non-stationary reaction-diffusion equations. The model involves three layers (compartments): a layer of enzyme solution entrapped on the electrode surface, a dialysis membrane cover...

It is well known that the electric resistivity of concrete is one of the useful durability indicators for chloride induced deterioration of concrete structures. In this study, the influence of air temperature and relative water content ratio in concrete on some measuring results of the electric resistivity was investigated by using the concrete specimens which were exposed in tidal zone. In add...

The dependence of indium electro de potential vs. log. concentration of indium (III) is linear and the slopes determined are comparable with the slopes calculated from the Nernst equation, assuming n = 3. The potential of In/ln(III) has been determined to be 0.805 ± 0.003 V with respect to Pt/PtC12 (1 M). At 693 K the free energy of formation of the indium(III) chloride in a 1 M solution is -32...

Uptake of the lipophilic cation triphenylmethylphosphonium into mesophyll protoplasts of oat (Avena sativa L. cv. "Garry") approaches equilibrium at 3 to 4 hours. The resulting external and internal concentrations are then used with the Nernst equation to obtain a membrane potential of -62 millivolts, inside negative. Potentials calculated in this manner are depolarized by adding 2 mm sodium az...

View A HYBRID ELECTRO-DIFFUSION MODEL FOR NEURAL SIGNALING. A new method is introduced for modeling the three-dimensional movement of ions in neurons. Using the Nernst-Planck equation, concentration gradients and electric fields were evaluated using a weighted moving least-squares algorithm. We incorporate this method into MCell, a Monte-Carlo cell simulator, and present preliminary validation ...
