objective(s):cefixime (cfx), is a semi-synthetic third-generation oral cephalosporin antibiotic that is prescribed for the treatment of susceptible infections. there are some procedures for the determination of cfx in pharmaceutical formulations and biological samples. herein a spectrofluorimetric method was proposed for cfx determination based on the fluorescence quenching of terbium-danofloxa...

This contribution is concerned with modeling and simulation of quenching employing the finite element method. An anisothermal constitutive model formulated within the framework of continuum mechanics and the thermodynamics of irreversible processes is considered adopting two phases: austenite and martensite. A numerical procedure is developed based on operator split technique associated with an...

Nonlinear closure models of the two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic equations predict that the turbulent diffusivity of magnetic fields in high magnetic Reynolds number flows will be strongly suppressed below the value predicted by simple kinematic models. The consequences of such “resistivity quenching” for models of dissipation and transport in astrophysical plasmas are profound. However, to ...

A six-level model is developed and used to study the effects of collisional energy transfer and dephasing on electronic-resonance-enhanced coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (ERE-CARS) in nitric oxide. The model includes the three levels that are coherently coupled by the three applied lasers as well as three additional bath levels that enable inclusion of the effects of electronic quenching...

We study quenching dynamics of a one-dimensional transverse Ising chain with nearest neighbor antiferromagentic interactions in the presence of a longitudinal field which renders the model nonintegrable. The dynamics of the spin chain is studied following a slow (characterized by a rate) or sudden quenches of the longitudinal field; the residual energy, as obtained numerically using a t-DMRG sc...

Ophiobolin A, a fungal metabolite and a phytotoxin which can stimulate the net leakage of electrolytes and glucose from maize seedling roots (Tipton, C. L., Paulsen, P. V., and Betts, R. E. (1977) Plant Physiol. 59, 907-910) was found to be a potent inhibitor of calmodulin-activated cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase. The physiologically less active analogue, 3-anhydro-ophiobolin A, was found ...

One of the most important functions of artificial three-dimensional (3D) polymeric scaffolds is to serve as a physical support to provide tissues with an appropriate architecture for in vitro cell culture as well as in vivo tissue regeneration. The production of three-dimensional (3D) polymeric scaffolds with tailored macroporous architecture is thus a crucial step in promoting controlled vascu...

We consider a model describing premixed combustion in the presence of fluid flow: reaction diffusion equation with passive advection and ignition type nonlinearity. What kinds of velocity profiles are capable of quenching (suppressing) any given flame, provided the velocity’s amplitude is adequately large? Even for shear flows, the solution turns out to be surprisingly subtle. In this paper, we...

aqueous polymer quenchants are being used increasingly in steel heat treatment industries as a substitution for conventional quenchants. by adjusting the quench parameters of the polymeric media, it is possible to achieve desirable microstructure and mechanical properties in addition to reduction in distortion and cracking. in this work, polyalkylene glycol (pag) aqueous solution was used as th...
