The phase equilibria of binary CO2 + n-alkane mixtures have been studied by an important number of authors, both experimentally and using different types of thermodynamic models. Modeling studies of the phase behavior of...

Pipeline networks are the dominant mode of conveying a wide variety of oil refined products from refineries to distribution terminals. Pipeline infrastructure usually comprises trunk lines serving high-volume, long-haul ...

Fluid transport on confined systems is a subject of theoretical and technological interest. For instance, remarkable high flow rates have been obtained in carbon nanochannels (CNs) which cannot be predicted by standard m...

The knowledge and the ability to describe the phase equilibrium behavior of systems composed of transesterification products are very important in the optimization of biodiesel production and purification process. In thi...

The oxidation of proteins and, in particular, of tryptophan (Trp) residues leads to chemical modifications that can affect structure and function. The oxidative damage to proteins in photochemical processes is relevant i...

Poly(N-acryloylmorpholine) (P(NAM))-based materials have been developed to prevent protein adhesion to surfaces due to their biocompatibility and protein-repellent properties. However, transferring the benefits of P(NAM)...

We introduce p-MINFLUX, a new implementation of the highly photon-efficient single-molecule localization method with a simplified experimental setup and additional fluorescence lifetime information. In contrast to the or...

We report an EPR study at X- and Q-bands of polycrystalline and single crystal samples of the mixed copper(II) complex with L-glutamic acid (glu) and 1,10-phenantroline (phen), [Cu(glu)(phen)(H2O)]+ NO3 −·2(H2O). The ...

Carbon nanodots (CNDs) undergo electron transfer in different scenarios. Previous studies have mainly focused on the electron-accepting features of CNDs in covalently linked donor-acceptor nanoconjugates. In view of this...

Using molecular dynamics experiments, we analyze the association of "Janus" 6-amino-6-deoxy-2O-carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrins (JCD) in aqueous solutions. In JCD dimers, the free energy associated with the primary-rim-sec...

The development of dye-sensitized solar cells requires an in-depth understanding of the interfacial charge-transfer dynamics that take place between dye sensitizers and semiconductors. Here, we describe a prototype syste...

The adsorption of commercial trypsin (Try) onto epichlorohydrin cross-linked alginate–guar gum matrix has been studied at equilibrium in batch and in fixed bed column. Experiments were conducted to study the effect of ...

The coalescence process of two nanoparticles to yield a core-shell structure is analyzed by a well-tempered metadynamics procedure. This methodology has been shown to be useful in understanding the present phenomenon in ...

Sodium caseinate suspensions (Cas) are stabilized as submicelles in a dynamic system consisting of caseins α, β, and κ. Their use in the food industry is quite widespread because of their functional properties and nut...

We find that for adsorbed terephthalic acid (TPA) molecules surface Sn alloying deactivates the Cu(001) surface by decoupling the adsorbed molecules from the substrate. This effect is investigated for the case of the 0.5...
