The interplay among antibody/antigen binding kinetics, antibody diffusion, and antigen metabolic turnover together determines the depth of penetration of antitumor antibodies into prevascular tumor spheroid cell clumps. A sharp boundary between an outer shell of bound high-affinity antibody and an inner antibody-free core has been previously observed and mathematically modeled and was termed th...

platinum extraction from different secondary sources has been experimentally tested by many researchers. in this article, dissolution of platinum in aqua-regia solution from two types of spent catalysts (reforming and nitric acid production) was kinetically studied. a variety of kinetic models for heterogeneous solid-liquid reactions, including homogeneous diffusion model, shrinking core model,...

a study of the kinetic analysis of total lead from spent car battery ash by hydrochloric acidleaching has been examined. the physico-chemical analysis of the ash powder was carried outby the inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (icp-ms) and x–ray diffraction (xrd).the effects of the acid concentration, temperature and particle size on the rate of battery ashdissolution have been investi...

The low-temperature shrinking of the vortex core (Kramer-Pesch effect) is studied for an isolated single vortex for chiral p-wave and s-wave superconducting phases. The effect of nonmagnetic impurities on the vortex core radius is numerically investigated in the Born limit by means of a quasiclassical approach. It is shown that in the chiral p-wave phase the Kramer-Pesch effect displays a certa...

In this research work, the dissolution of chalcopyrite was investigated under atmospheric pressure, with sulfate media at low temperatures, in 30°C to 50°C. In the galvanic interaction between chalcopyrite and pyrite, pyrite is used as a leaching catalyst. Effects of different parameters such as temperature, stirring speed, pyrite to chalcopyrite ratio, particle size, and solution potential wer...

Vanadium is distributed widely and scarcely (150 ppm) on the earth. Its major applications are in steelmaking, dye-production and catalyst-fabrication industries. With the ever-increasing demand for this metal, secondary resource-exploitation of such waste materials as spent catalysts is recommended. Many reactions are involved in vanadium-extraction from these resources. Since roasting in comp...

In this paper, we report numerical calculations of two new travelling wave states with shift and reflect two-fold azimuthal symmetry (S2 symmetry of Wedin and Kerswell (2004)), characterized by a shrinking core towards the pipe center with increasing R. Further, one of these solutions, termed C2, has additional shift and rotate symmetry. We also present arguments to identify all possible scalin...
