In this study, bimodal meso-porous silica (UVM-7) synthesized and fabricated amino silane modified supports were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption/desorption, transmission electron microscope (TEM), elemental analysis and titration. Capacity of CO2 capture on modified bimodal pore structure silica at 70°C was calculated using breakthrough curves; and it was found th...

The hydration kinetics of tricalcium silicate (C3S), the main constituent of portland cement, were analyzed with a mathematical ‘‘boundary nucleation’’ model in which nucleation of the hydration product occurs only on internal boundaries corresponding to the C3S particle surfaces. This model more closely approximates the C3S hydration process than does the widely used Avrami nucleation and grow...

Genebank managers conduct viability tests on stored seeds so they can replace lots that have viability near a critical threshold, such as 50 or 85 % germination. Currently, these tests are typically scheduled at uniform intervals; testing every 5 years is common. A manager needs to balance the cost of an additional test against the possibility of losing a seed lot due to late retesting. We deve...

The kinetics of the pressure induced hydration of modellipid membranes is studied in terms ofthe Avrami-Kolmogorov model and the fractal-like chemical reaction kinetics concept. As a general result, the stretched exponential relaxation function of the

in this research, graphitization transformation of a commercial hypereutectoid steel called ck100 was studied by the dilatometric experiments at the range of 600 – 700 °c from prior martensitic structure. also the effect of quenching media on the initial graphitization time and completion of transformation has been discussed. also, graphitization transition from the different prior microstructu...

The Kolmogorov-Johnson-Mehl-Avrami equation is wildly applied in the crystallization kinetics, and Avrami exponent involved plays an important role process. Here we show that can be obtained by a fractal model, explained as dimension time, which depends upon chain length molecule weight.

Phase behavior of distearoylphosphatidylethanolamine dispersed in excess glycerol has been examined by differential scanning calorimetry. Transformation from lamellar-gel to lamellar crystalline phase was found to take place at temperatures near 74.9 degrees C upon cooling and near 76.3 degrees C during heating scans. The transition can also be observed under isothermal conditions at temperatur...
