In this study, the stability of trinitroglycerin (TNG) in polyethylene (PEG) 400 was investigated according to Arrhenius approach. The reaction rate constant (k) for the thermal disintegration of TNG in PEG 400 at various temperatures was counted based on the percents of remaining TNG at different intervals of time at a specific temperature. The results showed that “k” at 40, 50, 60, 70, 8...

We prove that the boundary of a (not necessarily connected) bounded smooth set with constant nonlocal mean curvature is a sphere. More generally, and in contrast with what happens in the classical case, we show that the Lipschitz constant of the nonlocal mean curvature of such a boundary controls its C-distance from a single sphere. The corresponding stability inequality is obtained with a shar...

Stabilty constant of binary complexes of Fe(III) and Mn(II) with medicinally important ligand chloramphenicol antibiotics in solution were determined by paper electrophoretic technique. Stability constant of the complexes were determined at 25°C temperature and 0.1M (HClO4) ionic strength. Our study is based upon the migration of a spot of metal ions on a paper strip at different pH against mob...

Published methods establish how plant-model mismatch in the process gain and dead time impacts closed-loop stability. However, these methods assume no plant-model mismatch in the process time constant. The work presented here proposes the robust stability factor metric, RSF, to examine the effect of plant-model mismatch in the process gain, dead time, and time constant. The RSF is presented in ...
