Effect of Fe Concentration on Fe-Doped Anatase TiO2 from GGA + U Calculations by Hsuan-Chung Wu, Sheng-Hong Li, Syuan-Wei Lin

“…The band gap of Fe-doped TiO2 decreases Fe doping level increases as a result of the overlap among the Fe 3d, Ti 3d, and O 2p states, which enhances photocatalytic activity in the visible light region. Additionally, a broadening of the valence band and Fe impurity states within the band gap might also contribute to the photocatalytic activity.…”

Synthesize of montmorillonite supported hydroxyapatite and determination of adsorption capacity by tetracycline removal by Pelin Baran

“…The isotherm experiments showed that the Langmuir isotherm model was compatible with the experimental data, and the maximum adsorption capacity was obtained as 150 mg g-1, which indicated that TC was adsorbed to create a monolayer coverage on HA/MMT adsorption cites. In the light of kinetic data, pseudo-second-order kinetic model was the best suitable model for TC adsorption; moreover the calculated adsorption capacity (qe = 227.27 mg g-1) was found suitable with experimental (qe = 223.47 mg g-1). …”

Block combination–based asynchronous wake-up schedule in wireless sensor networks by Woosik Lee, Teukseob Song

“…To demonstrate the superior performance of block combination–based asynchronous wake-up schedule, we implement a TOSSIM-based simulation and compare the experimental results with recent neighbor discovery protocols such as balanced incomplete block design, prime-based block design, Disco, U-Connect, SearchLight, Hedis, and Todis. We then prove that block combination–based asynchronous wake-up schedule outperforms the others.…”
