We consider a rich tanker trailer routing problem with stochastic transit times for chemicals and liquid bulk orders. A typical route of the tanker trailer comprises of sourcing a cleaned and prepped trailer from a pre-wash location, pickup and delivery of chemical orders, cleaning the tanker trailer at a post-wash location after order delivery and prepping for the next order. Unlike traditiona...

Mesoporous noble metals are an emerging class of cutting-edge nanostructured catalysts due to their abundant exposed active sites and highly accessible surfaces. Although various noble metal (e.g. Pt, Pd and Au) structures have been synthesized by hard- and soft-templating methods, mesoporous rhodium (Rh) nanoparticles have never been generated via chemical reduction, in part due to the relativ...

silver is composed of a large percentage of silver oxide due to their large ratio of surface to bulk silver atoms. silver nanoparticles have been a potent antibacterial, antifungal, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory agent. a simple, eco-friendly, inexpensive biosynthetic method was employed to synthesize silver nanoparticles.  the present study aimed at the comparative study of silver nanopartic...

The chemical potentials of multicomponent fluids are derived in terms of the pair correlation functions for arbitrary number of components, interaction potentials, and dimensionality. The formally exact result is particularized to hard-sphere mixtures with zero or positive nonadditivity. As a simple application, the chemical potentials of three-dimensional additive hard-sphere mixtures are deri...

The cobalt substituted Nickel-Zinc ferrites with the composition Ni0.95-xZn0.05CoxFe2O4, for x= 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05 and 0.06 were synthesized by soft chemical route method found to have cubic system of ferrimagnetic spinel using XRD. grain sizes decreases significantly content (x) are 1.62-1.36nm x = 0.01 which small enough produce appropriate high density recording media. particle siz...

in the past decades, many methods have been developed to synthesize zero- dimensional  nanoparticles, quasi–one–dimensional (1d) cuo nanostructures, such as metal organic deposition technique,  microwave irradiation, sol-gel-like dip  technique, reverse micelle-assisted route, chemical method, and simple template free solution route. among those synthesis methods, hydrothermal and chemical reac...

background & aim: erosion has been defined as the irreversible loss of dental hard tissue by a chemical process not involving bacteria. dental erosion is an important cause of tooth tissue loss in both children and adults. acids of intrinsic and extrinsic origin (gastric juice and acidic foodstaffs, beverages) are thought to be the main etiologic factors for dental erosion. the reported inciden...

Bi2Fe4O9 crystalline ceramic was successfully synthesized through a soft chemical route at lower sintering temperature for analysis of photocatalytic behavior with respect to adsorption Congo Red (CR) in the presence UV-VIS irradiation. The single-phase formation confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction studies and particle size observed TEM found be 148 ± 5 nm which reveals nature materials. Addi...
