The kinetics of Mn(VII) oxidation of lysine in moderately sulfuric acid solutions was studiedspectrophotometrically in the presence and absence of Mn(II) as catalyst. The reaction was arrangedto be under pseudo first-order condition with respect to Mn(VII). The results showed that the pseudofirst-order rate constant increases with increasing [H2SO4], [(Mn)II], and [lysine]. The dependence ofthe...

We consider a class of semi-linear differential Volterra equations with memory terms, polynomial nonlinearities and random perturbation. For broad nonlinearities, we show that the system in concern admits unique weak solution. Also, any statistically steady state must possess regularity compatible Moreover, if sufficiently many directions are stochastically forced, employ generalized coupling a...

The general quasi-linear autonomous fourth order diffusion equation ut = −[G(u)uxxx + h(u, ux, uxx)]x with positive variable diffusivity G(u) and lower-order flux component h is considered on the real line. A direct algorithm produces a general class of equations for which the Shannon entropy density obeys a reaction-diffusion equation with a positive irreducible source term. Such equations may...
