1. Growing modes in a reaction-diffusion system In this section we summarize the classical linear Turing instability criterion for a reaction-diffusion system. Consider a reaction-diffusion system of 2-species as ∂U ∂t = ∇ · (D1 (U,V )∇U) + f (U,V ) , (1.1) ∂V ∂t = ∇ · (D2 (U,V )∇V ) + g (U,V ) , where U (x,t) ,V (x,t) are concentration for species, D1, D2 diffusion coefficients, f, g reaction ...

The hybrid CBS-QB3 electronic structure approach is used to calculate the reaction energetics for decomposition reactions of radicals formed from UV radiation of the polymer poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). Relative to the photon created radical species, the decarboxylation reaction to form CO2 is exothermic whereas the reaction to form CO is endothermic. For degradation of the polymer in low-...

A high yield of the tetraphosphaladderene, anti-tetraphosphatricyclo[4.2.0.0(2,5)]octa-3,7-diene, is obtained from reaction of the zirconocene 1,3-diphosphabicyclo[1.1.0]butane with Ph(2)SbCl(3) in THF or CH(2)Cl(2). Exploration of the reaction pathway using density functional theory suggests that an envelope-type adduct of Ph(2)SbCl and 1,3-diphosphabicyclo[1.1.0]butane plays a pivotal role in...

The in situ preparation and isolation of surface methoxy species on acidic zeolites are followed by further investigations of their reactivity in heterogeneously catalyzed reactions. For the first time, the following solid-state NMR evidence for the high reactivity of surface methoxy species has been obtained: (i) Surface methoxy species react readily with ammonia on acidic zeolites at room tem...

three tuberculous, twenty-one non-tuberculous mycobacterial (ntm) reference strains and seventy two isolates classified by biochemical tests were shown to produce specific sets of dna fragments in a polymerase chain reaction with single universal primer (up-pcr). a rather wide limit of tolerance for variations in procedure of pcr mixture preparation and thermocycling parameters was found. there...

A general inversion procedure for determining the optimum rate coe cients for chemical kinetic schemes, based upon limited net species production data, using Genetic Algorithm techniques is presented. The objective of the optimisation process is to derive rate parameters such that the given net species production rates at various conditions are simultaneously achieved by searching the parameter...

Chemical reactions are discrete, stochastic events. As such, the species' molecular numbers can be described by an associated master equation. However, handling such an equation may become difficult due to the large size of reaction networks. A commonly used approach to forecast the behaviour of reaction networks is to perform computational simulations of such systems and analyse their outcome ...

In this study, the modeling of hydrogen production process in microreactors by methanol-steam reforming reaction is investigated. The catalytic reaction of methanol-steam reforming producing hydrogen is simulated considering a 3D geometry for the microreactor. To calculate diffusion among species, mixture average correlations are compared to Stephan-Maxwell equations. The reactions occurring in...
