Based on the framework of thermodynamics and critical state soil mechanics, a new α-β yield surface is formulated in the triaxial space. Based on the non-associated flow rule and bounding surface framework, the propose...

We report on the fact that microscopically enforcing fulfillment of thermodynamics' third law on a system of fermions automatically yields the values of the external parameter (here coupling strengths in the pertinent Ha...

The solubility of sulfanilamide (SA) in propylene glycol + water cosolvent mixtures was determined at temperatures from 293.15 to 313.15 K. The thermodynamic functions: Gibbs energy, enthalpy, and entropy of solution and...

Biosorbents present a cost-effective alternative to expensive fossil-based ion-exchange resins for addressing the challenge of heavy metal contamination in wastewater treatment. Among these contaminants, cadmium poses a ...

We obtain, using semianalytical transfer operator techniques, the Edwards thermodynamics of a one-dimensional model of blocks connected by harmonic springs and subjected to dry friction. The theory is able to reproduce t...

Monte Carlo simulations and finite-size scaling analysis have been carried out to study the critical behavior in a submonolayer lattice-gas, which mimics a nanoporous environment. In this model, one-dimensional chains of...

Abstract Dual engineering thermodynamics and kinetics is crucial for achieving high-performance separation, but remains challenging. Here, we pioneer in the engineering of covalent organic framework (COF) from both therm...

The martensitic transformation of sputteredNi48.4Ti31.3Hf20.3 (at. %) thin films was investigated. Amorphous samples werecrystallized at 773 K, 873 K, 973 K and 1073 K to establish a correlation betweenmicrostructure and...

Experimental adsorption isotherms of bovine serum albumin (BSA) adsorbed on sulfonated microspheres were described by means of two analytical models: the first is the well-known Langmuir–Freundlich model (LF), and the ...

A comprehensive study of the structural, cohesive and electronic properties of several stable, metastable and non-stable intermetallic phases (IPs) of the Ni–In and Ni–Sn systems have been performed by ab initio dens...

Synthesis of silver nanoparticles of different shapes and sizes by the chemical reduction of Ag+ may be strongly influenced by the light irradiation. A key question is understanding the mechanism underlying the transform...

The probability distribution function for an out of equilibrium system may sometimes be approximated by a physically motivated "trial" distribution. A particularly interesting case is when a driven system (e.g., active m...

Recently, some evaluations of the workers' and students' abilities brought back to consider the negative (or reverse) Flynn effect. The reverse Flynn effect is an empirically confirmed decrease in the Intelligence Quotie...
