The problem of integrated design and control of plantwide systems coupling endothermic and exothermic reactions is addressed. Processes simultaneously carrying on the endothermic first-order reaction A→R+Q and the exothermic second-order reaction B+Q→P are considered. As the physical properties of the species involved vary, possible flowsheets are identified and feasible control strategies are ...

This study focused on kinetic modeling of a specific type of multistep heterogeneous reaction comprising exothermic and endothermic reaction steps, as exemplified by the practical kinetic analysis of the experimental kinetic curves for the thermal decomposition of molten ammonium dinitramide (ADN). It is known that the thermal decomposition of ADN occurs as a consecutive two step mass-loss proc...

Metabolic enzyme activities in red (RM) and white (WM) myotomal muscle and in the heart ventricle (HV) were compared in two lamnid sharks (shortfin mako and salmon shark), the common thresher shark and several other actively swimming shark species. The metabolic enzymes measured were citrate synthase (CS), an index of aerobic capacity, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), an index of anaerobic capa...

Gabexate mesilate has been mainly used in the treatment of disseminated intravascular coagration (DIC) in Japan since 1983. Recently, several generic versions of injectable gabexate mesilate with or without d-mannitol as an additive have been put on the Japanese market. In our study, thermo gravimetry (TG) did not show any differences between gabexate mesilate products with or without d-mannito...

Body composition was measured and compared in Amphibolurus vitticeps and Rattus norvegicus (a reptile and a mammal with the same weight and body temperature). Homogenates were prepared from liver, kidney, brain, heart, lung, and skeletal (gastrocnemius) muscle, and mitochondria were isolated. Cytochrome oxidase activities of both tissue homogenates and isolated mitochondria were measured (at 37...
