Let (ωn)0<n be the sequence known as Integer Sequence A047749 In this paper, we show that the integer ωn enumerates various kinds of symmetric structures of order two. We first consider ternary trees having a reflexive symmetry and we relate all symmetric combinatorial objects by means of bijection. We then generalize the symmetric structures and correspondences to an infinite family of symmetr...

Polyethersulfone (PES)-based anion exchange blend membranes were prepared from quaternized-PES (Q-PES) and N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) casting solutions with water as coagulant via non-solvent induced phase inversion. The compatibility of the blend system was investigated through thermodynamic studies while membrane formation was determined using the cloud point techni...

Information on the preparation and properties of starch/gelatin blend microparticles with and without crosslinking for drug delivery is presented. The blend microparticles were prepared by the water-in-oil emulsion solvent diffusion method. Glutaraldehyde and methylene blue were used as the crosslinker and the water-soluble drug model, respectively. The blend microparticles were characterized b...

Lithium batteries are in high demand different technological fields. However, the operating temperature is required to be below 70 °C, and this limits their use applications demanding high-energy rechargeable that able operate at temperatures above 100 °C. Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) is, currently, reference solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) employed solid-state lithium batteries. application of P...

It is known that any self-dual Boolean function can be decomposed into compositions of 3-bit majority functions. In this paper, we define a notion of a ternary majority formula, which is a ternary tree composed of nodes labeled by 3-bit majority functions and leaves labeled by literals. We study their complexity in terms of formula size. In particular, we prove upper and lower bounds for ternar...

We have studied thermal composition fluctuations of a ternary symmetric homopolymer/diblock copolymer system of PEE/PDMS/PEE-PDMS @PEE and PDMS being poly~ethyl ethylene! and poly~dimethyl siloxane!, respectively# in its disordered state with small angle neutron scattering for concentration F of diblocks up to 15%. The phase diagram shows three characteristic regimes; ~1! below the Lifshitz con...

Density, viscosity and refractive index of pure, binary and ternary mixtures of diethanolamine (DEA) and methyl diethanolamine (MDEA) with water have been measured at different temperatures from 288.15 K to 323.15 K at atmospheric pressure. Also, this study presents the effects of mixture composition and temperature upon these thermo- physical properties. To measure the density and refractive i...

in this work an analytical equation of state has been employed to calculate the pvt properties ofternary refrigerant mixtures. the theoretical eos is that of ihm, song and mason, which is based onstatistical-mechanical perturbation theory, and the two constants are enthalpy of vaporization δhvapand molar density ρnb, both at the normal boiling temperature. the following three temperaturedepende...
