Factors Affecting the Adsorption of Zn and Cd Ions from Aqueous Solution onto Vermiculite by Wu Xiaofu, Zhao Fang, Chen Mingli, Zhang Yangli, Zhao Chong, Zhou Hailan

“…The ratio of the initial concentration of ions, C 0 , to the adsorbent concentration, W 0 , was shown to be the key factor determining the equilibrium ion adsorption density, q e . Subject to the magnitude of C 0 /W 0 , the value of q e could either attain its maximum level, q m (the maximum adsorption density), when the solid surface was fully saturated, or approach its critical limit, q c (the C 0 /W 0 ratio), when the ions in the bulk solution had been completely removed. …”

The structure of the $$f_0(980)$$ f 0 ( 980 ) from system size dependent hadronic resonance ratios in p + p, p + Pb, and Pb + Pb collisions at the LHC by Tom Reichert, Jan Steinheimer, Volodymyr Vovchenko, Christoph Herold, Ayut Limphirat, Marcus Bleicher

“…In particular it is shown that the centrality dependence of the $$f_0(980)/\pi $$ f 0 ( 980 ) / π and $$f_0(980)/\phi $$ f 0 ( 980 ) / ϕ ratios depends strongly on the $$f_0(980)\rightarrow {\overline{K}}+K$$ f 0 ( 980 ) → K ¯ + K branching ratio and whether the $$f_0(980)$$ f 0 ( 980 ) is produced as a $$\left| {\overline{q}}q \right\rangle $$ q ¯ q or $$\left| {\overline{s}}s \right\rangle $$ s ¯ s state. …”
