Electroanalytical Methodology for the Direct Determination of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid in Soil Samples Using a Graphite-Polyurethane Electrode by Fernanda Ramos de Andrade, Renata Alves de Toledo, Carlos Manoel Pedro Vaz

“…An electroanalytical methodology was developed for the direct determination of the herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) using a graphite-polyurethane composite electrode and square wave voltammetry (SWV). 2,4-D exhibited one reduction peak with characteristics of an irreversible process at −0.54 V (versus Ag/AgCl), which is controlled by the diffusion of the reagent on the electrode surface. …”

In Situ Measurement of Local Hydrogen Production Rate by Bubble-Evolved Recording by Xiaowei Hu, Liejin Guo, Yechun Wang

“…By analyzing change of hydrogen bubble size as a function of time, we understood that hydrogen bubble growth experienced two periods, which were inertia effect dominated period and diffusion effect dominated period, respectively. The tendency of hydrogen bubble growth was similar to that of the gas bubble in boiling, while the difference in bubble diameter and growth time magnitude was great. …”

A Deep Graph-Embedded LSTM Neural Network Approach for Airport Delay Prediction by Weili Zeng, Juan Li, Zhibin Quan, Xiaobo Lu

“…For adjacent airports, weights of edges are measured by the spherical distance between them, while the number of flight pairs between them is utilized for airports connected by flights. On this basis, a diffusion convolution kernel is constructed to capture characteristics of delay propagation between airports, and it is further integrated into the sequence-to-sequence LSTM neural network to establish a deep learning framework for delay prediction. …”

Enhancing the performance of iron-based binders with seawater and CO2 sequestration by V Chandralega, M Shanmugasundaram, David Stone

“…Microstructural analysis revealed that oxalic acid enhanced the matrix densification and mechanical strength by promoting siderite and calcite formation through improved ion dissolution, whereas its absence led to decreased CO2 diffusion and reduced mechanical strength. Seawater with its high alkalinity and mineral content, significantly augmented the carbonation efficiency, validating its potential as an effective medium for sustainable binders in CO2 sequestration.…”

Emergence of Turing Patterns in a Simple Cellular Automata-Like Model via Exchange of Integer Values between Adjacent Cells by Takeshi Ishida

“…The distinguishing characteristic of this model is that it presents a different pattern formation mechanism using only one kind of token, such as a chemical agent that ages via spatial diffusion. Using this CA-like model, various Turing-like patterns (spots or stripes) emerge when changing two of four parameters. …”
