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 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...

O uso de energias renováveis aliadas à preservação do meio ambiente tem despertado interesse cada vez maior em nível nacional e internacional principalmente a utilização do biodiesel em substituição ao diesel de...

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...

Abstract The objective of this study was to explore the potential of front face fluorescence spectroscopy (FFFS) as rapid, non-destructive and inclusive technique along with multi-variate analysis for predicting meat adu...

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...

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the combined effect of using natural calcium mixtures and various binding ingredients as replacers for synthetic phosphate in ground pork products. We performed seven treatments: ...

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...

To illustrate the variation laws of strength characteristics and micromechanism of rubber-sand mixtures, a series of laboratory tests including direct shear tests, unconfined compressive strength tests and scanning elect...

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...

A liner system containing clay or bentonite-sand mixtures is installed on the bottom of a landfill to prevent contaminants from flowing into the surrounding ground. The influence of Ca2+ concentration and local settlemen...

In the available researches on the cyclic resistance ratio (CRR) of saturated sand-gravel mixtures, the factors such as gravel content, sample preparation method, relative density and consolidation stress ratio have been...

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...

Abstract Owing to the residual toxicity and adverse health effects of chemical preservatives, there is an increasing demand for using natural preservatives in food. Although many natural extracts have been evaluated, res...

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...
