Fly Ash/Silica Fume Coral Concrete with Modified Polypropylene Fiber for Sustainable Building Construction by Bo Wang, Wenhao Shi, Qing Wu, Xun Xi, Shangtong Yang

“…It has been found out that the addition of fly ash and silica fume in MPPF coral concrete can significantly improve the strengths and reduce the chloride diffusion of coral concrete. Compared with those from the specimens without fly ash and silica fume, the compressive, splitting tensile, flexural strengths of MPPF concrete with 10% fly ash and 10% silica fume are improved by 31%, 33%, and 58%, respectively. …”

Simulation of structured populations in chemically stressed environments by Thomas G. Hallam, Qingping Deng

“…The population is assumed to be physiologically structured and composed of individuals having both sessile and mobile life history stages, who utilize energetically-controlled, resource-directed, chemical-avoidance advective movements and are subjected to random or density dependent diffusion. From a modeling perspective, the presence of a chemical in the environment requires introduction of both an exposure model and an effects module. …”

Interpreting Aerodynamics of a Transonic Impeller from Static Pressure Measurements by Fangyuan Lou, John Charles Fabian, Nicole Leanne Key

“…The impeller performance was strongly dependent on the inducer, where the majority of relative diffusion occurs. The inducer diffuses flow more efficiently for inlet tip relative Mach numbers close to unity, and the performance diminishes at other Mach numbers. …”

Equilibrium, Kinetics, and Thermodynamic Studies of Malachite Green Adsorption onto Fig (Ficus cartia) Leaves by Yemane Tadesse Gebreslassie

“…Furthermore, the adsorption kinetics of the dye was investigated, and the rate of adsorption was found to follow the pseudo-first-order kinetic model with intraparticle diffusion as one of the rate-determining steps. The negative value of ΔG0 and the positive values of ΔH0 indicate the spontaneous and endothermic nature of the adsorption process, respectively. …”
