solute transport in unsaturated porous media can be viewed as a coupled phenomenon with waterand heat transport, together with mechanical behaviour of media. in this paper, solute transport is formulatedmathematically considering heat and water flow in deformable porous media. advection, dispersion anddiffusion of chemical species in the liquid phase are considered. convection and conduction fo...

Laser radiation-induced decomposition of gaseous organic selenides and tellurides resulting in chemical deposition of nanostructured materials on cold surfaces is reviewed with regard to the mechanism of the gas-phase decomposition and properties of the deposited materials. The laser photolysis and laser thermolysis of the Se and Te precursors leading to chalcogen deposition can also serve as a...

Perovskite thin films with various functional properties have been synthesized through the Metal Organic Chemical Vapour Deposition (MOCVD). The MOCVD processes, used for the fabrication of a variety of advanced materials in thin film form, rely upon application of a molten multi-element source. The challenging in-situ strategy involves the use of a molten source consisting of a second-generati...

A mathematical and numerical model describing chemical transport in a Stokes– Darcy flow system is discussed. The flow equations are solved through domain decomposition using classical finite element methods in the Stokes region and mixed finite element methods in the Darcy region. The local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) method is used to solve the transport equation. Models dealing with couplin...

Simulation of natural phenomena, such as the evaluation of temperature and air flow distribution inside a room, evaluation of material damage due to mechanical and chemical loads, are crucial in the daily life of engineers. This paper presents the Computational Phenomena Pattern, whose objective is to standardize through a computational abstraction the complex interaction of coupled natural phe...

We have investigated the regulation mechanism of chemical stress-induced hsp70 gene expression in murine L929 cells. Our data show that chemical treatments including sodium arsenite, cadmium chloride and sodium salicylate, induced significant synthesis of hsp70 and its mRNA. The induced hsp70 gene expression appears to be regulated at the transcriptional level. A factor (CHBF), which constituti...

The Atlantic Forest with its exuberant vegetation of high level of biodiversity is classified as one hotspot of the world. Chemical composition of leaves from native trees and underlying soils was evaluated by INAA. The predominant species Euterpe edulis, Bathysa meridionalis, Hyeronima alchorneoides, Marlierea tomentosa, Gomidesia flagellaris, and Gomidesia spectabilis belonging to the diverse...

In chemical engineering, deflection of beams and other area of engineering the two point boundary value problems with Neumann and mixed Robbin's boundary conditions have great importance. It is not easy task to solve numerically such type of problems. In this study a B-spline finite element has been introduced to get the solution of two point boundary value problem. Some test examples are ...

pH SENSOR The final control element can be a pump or an ON/OFF valve. Sizing of the final control element is complicated and depends on many factors. This is one situation where a titration curve can be invaluable. In many cases, it may be necessary to use two final control elements, each delivering different amounts of chemical and having different setpoints. For example, one valve may deliver...

We report the first demonstration of resonant x-ray diffraction microscopy for element specific imaging of buried structures with a pixel resolution of approximately 15 nm by exploiting the abrupt change in the scattering cross section near electronic resonances. We performed nondestructive and quantitative imaging of buried Bi structures inside a Si crystal by directly phasing coherent x-ray d...
