La bibliothèque dans Le Silence de la mer, un espace symbolique by Nathalie Gibert-Joly

“…A la Libération, ce premier volume de la maison d’édition clandestine les Editions de Minuit, a été immédiatement réimprimé, puis suivi d’une adaptation théâtrale en 1949 dans une mise en scène de Jean Mercure, et du film très fidèle de Jean-Pierre Melville. Si on ne l’a pas lu, on en connaît du moins l’histoire, celle d’un officier allemand Werner von Ebrennac qu’un oncle et sa nièce sont obligés d’accueillir dans leur maison. …”

Preparation of quaternary ammonium-modified silica and its adsorption of vanadium(V) by ZHANG Cuihong, WANG Jing, WANG Jie, YUAN Wenjiao

“…The pseudo-second-order reaction kinetics and Langmuir adsorption isotherm model indicated that the process of adsorbing vanadium(Ⅴ) by SiO2@DMOA was a surface monolayer chemical adsorption process, and the intra-particle diffusion model and Boyd model demonstrated that liquid film diffusion was the main limiting rate of this adsorption process. …”

Studies of the Adsorption of SO, H and O on a CrO Surface by an Electrical Conductivity Technique by Mahmoud M. Khader, Mahmoud M. Saleh, Ahmad M. Mohammad

“…In contrast, at temperatures less than 350°C, oxygen adsorption was retarded after an SO 2 flow, possibly due to the strong adsorption of a polymeric film of SO 2 . Correspondingly, after H 2 treatments, oxygen was adsorbed instantaneously at temperatures as low as 200°C, presumably because of the weak sorption of H 2 on the surface chromium ions. …”

Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium Requirements to Improve <i>Portulaca oleracea</i> L. Growth, Nutrient and Water Use Efficiency in Hydroponics by Antonios Chrysargyris, Nikolaos Tzortzakis

“…The current study examined the effect of different nitrogen (N) concentrations (100–200 mg L⁻¹; as N100, N200) in combination with different levels (decreased 0.66-fold: dec, recommended 1-fold: rec, or increased 1.5-fold: inc) of phosphorus (P; 47–70–105 mg L⁻¹) and potassium (K; 250–350–525 mg L⁻¹) in the nutrient solution (NS) used in hydroponic nutrient film technique (NFT) cultivation. The N200_PKinc NS resulted in improved crop growth compared to N200_PKrec NS, suggesting a positive correlation between optimal N levels (i.e., 200 mg L⁻¹) and increased P and K levels (105 and 525 mg L⁻¹, respectively). …”
