Lithium ion (Li+) uptake was investigated in chitosan–pectin–lactic acid aerogel sponges containing hydrogen–manganese oxide (HMO) or lithium–manganese oxide (LMO) as fillers, for concentrations ranging from 1 to...

Continental drift processes such as major gateway openings have been historically advocated to explain the distribution of marine benthic taxa in the Southern Ocean (SO). The separation between Antarctic Peninsula and th...

"This paper proposes a phenomenological based semiphysical model (PBSM) for a self-pressurized alkaline electrolyzer. The model, based on mass and energy balances, represents the dynamic behaviour of hydrogen and oxygen ...

"Ultrafiltration membranes are increasingly used in potabilization to remove viral particles. This removal is controlled by electrostatic repulsion, attachment and size exclusion. The effect of electrostatic interaction ...

We derive a new self-organizing learning algorithm that maximizes the information transferred in a network of nonlinear units. The algorithm does not assume any knowledge of the input distributions, and is defined here f...

Adsorptive separation is very important in industry. Generally, the process uses porous solid materials such as zeolites, activated carbons, or silica gels as adsorbents. With an ever increasing need for a more efficient...

Summary Trace-element data for mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORBs) and ocean island basalts (OIB) are used to formulate chemical systematics for oceanic basalts. The data suggest that the order of trace-element incompatibili...

A simple capillary zone electrophoresis method was applied in order to investigate the degradation of olmesartan medoxomil in basic pHs. A kinetic approach was performed to enlighten its degradation process. Olmesartan m...

The problem of efficient signal communication at low data rates involves, in general, the encoding of the source for maximum data compression at the transmitter end, and the reconstruction using the received information ...

The paleofloristic record of King George Island (South Shetland Islands) and the Antarctic Peninsula is discussed including its importance in paleogeographic and paleoclimate reconstructions, stratigraphic correlation, a...

Social science research on stigma has grown dramatically over the past two decades, particularly in social psychology, where researchers have elucidated the ways in which people construct cognitive categories and link th...

Ionic liquids are salts that are liquid at low temperature (

A revealing and surprising look at how classification systems can shape both worldviews and social interactions. What do a seventeenth-century mortality table (whose causes of death include "fainted in a bath," "frighted...

In an ideal world, organizations “share” the cloud, logically separated from each other by the cloud provider, operating independently of each other in a sandbox, pulling resources only when needed, and respecting th...

Langreth and Mehl (LM) and co-workers have developed a useful spin-density functional for the correlation energy of an electronic system. Here the LM functional is improved in two ways: (1) The natural separation between...

We present the automated techniques we have developed for new software that optimally detects, deblends, measures and classifies sources from astronomical images: SExtractor (Source Extractor ). We show that a very relia...
