adsorbed natural gas has various advantages and is relatively more economical than liquefaction and compression. carbon nanotubes can be introduced as a new candidate for natural gas storage. in this study, adsorption of methane was firstly studied on the as-prepared multi-walled carbon nanotubes, and then chemical and physical treatment of mwcnts was performed to enhance the methane adsorption...

The study of biological cells in terms of mesoscopic, nonequilibrium, nonlinear, stochastic dynamics of open chemical systems provides a paradigm for other complex, self-organizing systems with ultra-fast stochastic fluctuations, short-time deterministic nonlinear dynamics, and long-time evolutionary behavior with exponentially distributed rare events, discrete jumps among punctuated equilibria...

Various aspects of application of derivative spectrophotometry in chemical analysis and in investigations of equilibria and kinetics of reactions are scrutinized. The presented paper provides useful information about state-of-the-art and possibilities offered by derivative spectrophotometry in pharmaceutical, clinical or environmental fields of analysis.

Hydrogen bonding heavily influences conformations, rate of reactions, and chemical equilibria. The development of a method to monitor hydrogen bonding interactions independent of polarity is challenging as both are linked. We have developed two solvatochromic dyes that detect hydrogen-bond-donating solvents. The unique solvatochromism of the triazine architecture has allowed the development of ...

This note presents a self-contained and streamlined exposition of chemical-network results due to Feinberg, Horn, and Jackson. As an application, it shows the global asymptotic stability to equilibria of McKeithan’s kinetic proofreading model for T-cell receptor signal transduction.

A decomposition of a chemical reaction network (CRN) is produced by partitioning its set reactions. The partition induces networks, called subnetworks, that are "smaller" than the given CRN which, at this point, can be parent network. complex common if it occurs in least two subnetworks decomposition. said to incidence independent image map direct sum images subnetworks' maps. It has been recen...

The modified NRTL (m-NRTL) model is used to represent the excess Gibbs free energy of aqueous (alcohol + electrolyte) solutions. In this work, the m-NRTL model previously developed for representation of vapor-liquid equilibria for (polymer + salt + water) systems has been extended to represent liquid-liquid equilibria of (alcohol + salt + water) systems. The proposed extension is a modified of ...

A natural condition on the structure of the underlying chemical reaction network, namely weak reversibility, is shown to guarantee the existence of an equilibrium (steady state) in each positive stoichiometric compatibility class for the associated mass-action system. Furthermore, an index formula is given for the set of equilibria in a given stoichiometric compatibility class.

Analytical aspects of chemically modified electrodes (CMEs) are critically reviewed. Effects of analyte and/or reagent accumulation, chemical transformation, electrocatalysis, permeability, ionic equilibria, controlled release, and change of mass, as well as combinations of these effects are evaluated and classified. Also, relevant definitions are provided and recommendations formulated for the...
