volumetric techniques were employed to study the adsorption of co2 on a purified multi-wall carbon nanotubes (mwnt’s) sample, as a mesoporous material, at isothermal conditions of 288, 293 and 298 k and pressures ranging from 30 to 150 kpa. langmuir, freundlich and sips equations were used to represent the isotherms. also the parameters of these fitted isotherm models have been determined. the ...

Computational studies considering both thermodynamic and kinetic aspects revealed that graphyne, a carbon material that has recently been of increasing interest, favours unprecedented homogeneous "in-plane" addition reactions. The addition of dichlorocarbene to the C(sp)-C(sp) bond, a site with outstanding regioselectivity in graphyne, proceeds via a stepwise mechanism. Due to their homogeneous...

Physico-chemical properties, molecular interactions and thermodynamic stability of human and bovine serum albumins in complexes with mitomycin C were investigated. The pH and temperature influence on serum albumins properties and the binding mechanism of mitomycin C to these proteins have been monitored by spectrometry and spectrofluorimetry methods.

Accepted: 12/10/2014 Abstract Extrusion is a thermodynamic process which combines several unit operations including mixing, cooking, kneading, shearing, shaping and forming. The principles of operation are similar in all types: raw materials are fed into the extruder barrel and the screw(s) then convey the food along it. Further down the barrel, smaller flights restrict the volume and increase ...

we have investigated the electronic structure and thermodynamic properties of supercell of the
-al2o3 by first-principles calculation in framework of density functional theory (dft) and full potential linearized augmented plane wave (fp-lapw) with generalized gradient approximation (gga) and by quasi-harmonic debye model. our calculated value for direct band gap of α-al2o3 is 7.2 ev which is v...

The harmonic oscillator in anti de Sitter space(AdS) is discussed. We consider the harmonic oscillator potential and then time independent Schrodinger equation in AdS space. Then we apply the supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics approach to solve our differential equation. In this paper we have solved Schrodinger equation for harmonic oscillator in AdS spacetime by supersymmetry approach. The shape...

This is the first of three papers analyzing the representation of information in the biosphere, and the energetic constraints limiting the imposition or maintenance of that information. Biological information is inherently a chemical property, but is equally an aspect of control flow and a result of processes equivalent to computation. The current paper develops the constraints on a theory of b...

The birth, raise, development and fortunes of a fundamental theory in thermodynamics, the axiomatic thermodynamics, a creation of Constantin Carathéodory, is thoroughly presented together with a summary of Carathéodory’s biography. Axiomatic thermodynamics is centered around some interesting properties of Pfaffian differential equations, which are here introduced and used for some well-known ca...

Conventional thermodynamics, which is formulated for our world populated by radiation and matter, can be extended to describe physical properties of antimatter in two mutually exclusive ways: CP-invariant or CPT-invariant. Here we refer to invariance of physical laws under charge (C), parity (P) and time reversal (T) transformations. While in quantum field theory CPT invariance is a theorem con...

This paper presents the Web-based Thermodynamics Tables Wizard and how it can be used for online courses or web-teaching to accommodate the need of students at different levels in looking up thermodynamics properties. It can be used as a stand-alone study aid or an add-on component for any online Thermodynamics course. The implementation of this Web-based module has greatly enhanced the learnin...
