Activity–composition (a-x) relations for feldspars petrological calculations in KAlSi3O8−NaAlSi3O8−CaAl2Si2O8 are calibrated using literature data (i) plagioclase cation exchange experiments at 600 and 700°C, (ii) experimental ternary feldspar pairs 880 − 900°C, (iii) the alkali solvus, (iv) dry melting loop plagioclase. The results tested against calorimetric heat of solution pressures coexist...

ThermoData Engine (TDE) is the first full-scale software implementation of the dynamic data evaluation concept, as reported in this journal. The present paper describes the first application of this concept to the evaluation of thermophysical properties for ternary chemical systems. The method involves construction of Redlich-Kister type equations for individual properties (excess volume, therm...

North America and western Europe.2 Information is scarce on trends in Europe and North America for chlamydia (defined here as including only genital chlamydial infection), genital herpes and human papillomavirus infection, and when information is available it covers only the 1990s.3 Although some increases in incidence are documented, it is unclear how much of this upward trend is due to improv...

ThermoData Engine (TDE) is the first full-scale software implementation of the dynamic data evaluation concept, as reported recently in this journal. The present paper describes the first application of this concept to the evaluation of thermophysical properties for binary chemical systems. Five activity-coefficient models have been implemented for representation of phase-equilibrium data (vapo...

the molecular associations in the binary mixtures of (methanol/solvent), (ethanol/solvent) and (propanol/solvent) were studied using nmr, ftir and vle data at different temperatures. the activity coefficients as the most important quantities representing the mixture deviation form ideal behavior were evaluated by using various association models to express the physical and chemical contribution...

Currently, there are few guidelines for the use of vitamin K1 in the maintenance treatment of long-acting anticoagulant rodenticide (LAAR) poisonings. We explored factors in the treatment of LAAR poisoning during the maintenance period in order to suggest feasible treatment models.Data from 24 cases of anticoagulant rodenticide poisoning in our hospital were collected from January 2013 to May 2...

Intercropping leek (Allium porrum L.) and celery (Apium graveolens L.) was recognized as an option to reduce growth and reproductive potential of weeds while maintaining yield and product quality of both crops on a high level. To optimise the intercropping system for yield, quality and weed suppression a combined use of mechanistic and descriptive models, together with experimental work, was ap...

concluded that the intercropping system needed to be optimized with respect to crop quality and weed supIntercropping leek (Allium porrum L.) with celery (Apium graveopression for successful implementation and suggested lens L.) is an option to reduce growth and reproductive potential of weeds while maintaining productivity. In this study, a combined applying ecophysiological simulation models ...

objective: vancomycin-resistant enterococci (vre) have emerged worldwide and have become an increasing problem in clinical settings. acquired glycopeptide resistance in enterococcus species is due to the acquisition of van a, van b, van d, van c and van e genes, resulting in the production of peptidoglycan precursors with reduced affinity for glycopeptide antibiotics. the origin of these van ge...
