This article, the sixth in the ACP journal series, presents data evaluated by the IUPAC Task Group on Atmospheric Chemical Kinetic Data Evaluation. It covers the heterogeneous processes involving liquid particles present in the atmosphere with an emphasis on those relevant for the upper troposphere/lower stratosphere and the marine boundary layer, for which uptake coefficients and adsorption pa...

Evaluation of new acyl carrier protein hydrolase (AcpH, EC 3.1.4.14) homologs from proteobacteria and cyanobacteria reveals significant variation in substrate selectivity and kinetic parameters for phosphopantetheine hydrolysis from carrier proteins. Evaluation with carrier proteins from both primary and secondary metabolic pathways reveals an overall preference for acyl carrier protein (ACP) s...

This article, the fifth in the ACP journal series, presents data evaluated by the IUPAC Subcommittee on Gas Kinetic Data Evaluation for Atmospheric Chemistry. It covers the heterogeneous processes on surfaces of solid particles present in the atmosphere, for which uptake coefficients and adsorption parameters have been presented on the IUPAC website in 2010. The article consists of an introduct...

The aim of this work is to study the degradation and mineralization of antibiotic ofloxacin in aqueous medium using the Electro-Fenton method as advanced oxidation technology. In this context, Pt/carbon-felt cell was used to investigate the influence of various parameters including initial pH, different supporting electrolytes, different metal ions as a catalyst and antibiotic concentration ove...

A new method is described that accurately estimates kinetic constants, conductance and number of ion channels from macroscopic currents. The method uses both the time course and the strength of correlations between different time points of macroscopic currents and utilizes the property of semiseparability of covariance matrix for computationally efficient estimation of current likelihood and it...

Evaluation of thermal stability and runaway behavior of any exothermic chemical system is of great importance for the design and operation of a chemical process. The evaluation process should be based on a thorough investigation of the reaction chemistry including reaction pathways, thermodynamic, and kinetic parameters. When addressing the reactivity hazards of any reacting system, the dominan...

There is growing interest in quantitatively analyzing in vivo image data, as this facilitates objective comparisons and measurement of effect. In this regard, people increasingly turn to pharmacokinetic models and estimation of parameters of such models. In this work several parameter estimation methodologies were compared within the context of the most common pharmacokinetic model used in posi...

Monte Carlo experiments have been used to test the robustness of distribution-free confidence limits for the parameters of the MichaelisMenten equation (Porter & Trager, 1977). When used in conjunction with the modified form of the direct linear plot (Cornish-Bowden & Eisenthal, 1978), they prove to be more robust than least-squares confidence limits. In circumstances where the least-squares as...

The kinetic battery model is a popular model of the dynamic behavior of a conventional battery, useful to predict or optimize the time until battery depletion. The model however lacks certain obvious aspects of batteries in-the-wild, especially with respect to (i) the effects of random influences and (ii) the behavior when charging up to capacity bounds. This paper considers the kinetic battery...
