Using molecular dynamics experiments, we analyze equilibrium and dynamical characteristics related to the solvation of excess protons in water-acetone mixtures. Our approach is based on the implementation of an extended ...

ABSTRACT The electrical behaviour of mixed ligand complex of Fe(II) in different percentage of binary mixture of methanol and water at different temperatures can give information about ion-ion and ion-solvent interaction...

Abstract Background Environmental studies often evaluate how exposures influence health outcomes through intermediate biological processes. In practice, researchers are often interested in complex exposure mixtures rathe...

A correlation procedure for the prediction of vapor - liquid equilibrium of acetic acid-isopropanol-water-isopropyl acetate mixtures has been developed. It is based on the NRTL model for predicting liquidactivity coeffic...

Improving road transportation accessibility is essential for enhancing local social and economic activity in a country. One way to maintain the accessibility of the road network and ensure that users feel safe and comfor...

Ignition of gaseous combustible mixtures on catalytically active hot solid surfaces has numerous applications in many industrial processes and is a complex process that involves close interaction between surface processe...

Background and aimsThe ability of plant microbial symbionts to enhance hosts´ fitness depends on the abiotic and biotic context, including the presence of co-existing symbionts. We studied how the presence of arbuscular...

Liquid crystals can exhibit structural orientational order. The creation of a mixture with the addition of chiral molecules to the nematic liquid crystal induces helical twisting, the axis of which is directed perpendicu...

The kinetics of ZnFe2O4 formation starting from mechanochemically activated Zn-Fe2O3 powders are studied. Mixtures of metallic Zn and hematite were activated under air atmosphere in a high energy mill and thermally treat...

We present molecular dynamics simulation results pertaining to the solvation of Li+ in dimethyl sulfoxide-acetonitrile binary mixtures. The results are potentially relevant in the design of Li-air batteries that rely on ...

The growing interest on first- and second-generation biofuels requires the development of thermodynamic tools with predictive capacity for mixtures containing a wide variety of organo-oxygenated compounds, water and hydr...

Five different objective functions were studied with the purpose of analyzing their performance for parameters estimation of vapor-liquid equilibrium models for a series of 13 non-polar and 13 polar asymmetric binary mix...

The performance of asphalt mixtures modified with 7% and 10% waste tire and solid natural rubber is assessed in this study, along with the effects of replacing fine aggregate with these materials. According to binder tes...

Liquid crystalline polyurethanes (LCPUs), having azobenzene mesogenic groups, formed a nematic phase on heating and cooling processes. Liquid crystalline binary mixtures were obtained by mixing LCPUs and strongly polar c...

A produção e a qualidade de forragem da pastagem composta por misturas de gramíneas anuais de estaçao fria sob pastejo contínuo foram avaliadas. As misturas usadas foram: T1 - Triticale (X Triticosecale) + azevém (...

The presence of calcium sulfate (CaSO4) impacts soil structure, bonding, pore size distribution, and water-holding characteristics, altering both compaction characteristics and soil water characteristic curves (SWCC). In...

Abstract Industrialization and urbanization exacerbate global environmental health challenges, with pollutants from industrial and vehicular emissions (e.g., PAHs, NOx, PM2.5) posing significant risks. Growing evidence l...

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...

Abstract In this work, a new concept of planar resonator technique for measurement of liquid mixture permittivity is proposed, designed, and implemented using a Sixteen-Mode Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SMSIW) technol...

The results of a predictive analysis of the mock-up of a reactor containment building, based on computer numerical simulation, are presented in this paper and compared with the results obtained in the context of the VeRC...

Abstract Background Epidemiological associations between multiple metals exposure and hypertension or blood pressure remain limited and inconclusive, especially for essential metals. This investigation intended to examin...

The paper presents the quantitative measurement and variability of six non-traditional grain quality indicators of 10 cultivars of common winter wheat harvested in 2021-2022, obtained during tests using the Chopin+ proto...

Non-lethal biological techniques such as blood biomarkers have gained attention due to their value as early signals of anthropic effects of contamination representing significant tools to evaluate ecosystems health. We e...
