Thermodynamic analysis on the acidogenesis of lactose was performed to evaluate the different acidogenic patterns and mechanisms by using Gibbs free energy calculation. Batch acidogenesis of lactose was investigated by using an enriched culture at 37 degrees C, pH 5.5 and varied substrate levels. In addition to usual acidogenic products, i-butyrate, valerate, i-valerate, caproate, and propanol ...

The N-(2-benzoyl-phenyl) oxalyl derivatives are important models for studying of three-centered intramolecular hydrogen bonding in organic molecules. The quantum theoretical calculations for two crystal structures of N-(2-benzoyl-phenyl) oxalyl (compounds I and II) were performed by Density Functional Theory (B3LYP method and 6-311+G* basis set). From the optimized structures, geometric paramet...

The interaction of Fe2+ ion with Pyrazole was theoretically studied by Gussian 03, software at HF/(LanL2DZ+6-31G) and HF/ (LanL2DZ+6-31G (d)) levels in gas phase and solution. In this study acompartion between optimized structures of Pyrazole molecule in aspect of thermodynamicparameters such as enthalpy (H°), Gibbs free energy (G°) and entropy (S°) in presence of metallic ion(Fe2+), was perfor...

in this study, the response is derived, high-energy material 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1h-tetrazole (npht) with boron nitridenano-cages in different conditions of temperature, density functional theory methods were studied. for this purpose, the material on both sides were geometrically optimized, then the calculation of the thermodynamic parameters were performed on all of them. the amount of δh, δs a...

The power density and variable compliance in pneumatic actuators makes them an attractive option for actuation in human assistive devices. Interaction safety in these devices can be robustly achieved through energetically passive controllers. Efficacy of these controllers depends on appropriate definition of actuator energy function. In previous works, the energy function was defined by assumin...

Thermal energy agitates all matter, and its competition with ordering tendencies is a fundamental organizing principle in the physical world; this observation suggests that an effective temperature might emerge when external energy input enhances agitation. However, despite the repeated proposal of this concept based on kinetics for various nonequilibrium systems, the value of an effective temp...

A thermodynamic model for light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is developed by considering energy and entropy flows in the system. Thermodynamic constraints have previously been considered separately for the reversible process of electroluminescence in LEDs and for light extraction and collimation in other optical systems. By considering both processes in the LED model, an irreversible upper bound for ...

The phase diagram of water has been calculated from the TIP4PQ/2005 model, an empirical rigid non-polarisable model. The path integral Monte Carlo technique was used, permitting the incorporation of nuclear quantum effects. The coexistence lines were traced out using the Gibbs–Duhem integration method, once having calculated the free energies of the liquid and solid phases in the quantum limit,...

Used appropriately and judiciously, thermodynamic parameters can offer insight into the energetics of protein-ligand interactions that is not readily attainable by other means. The utility or application of thermodynamic analysis has traditionally been considered more the domain of (bio)chemistry than biology. However, the modern recognition of an interface in the case of protein-ligand interac...
